# Throw It Away

Episode 18 of Family Guy season 17 (S17E18), the 327th Family Guy episode overall. Written by Cherry Chevapravatdumrong and directed by Brian Iles. First broadcast on 28 April 2019.

## Story

Tricia Takanawa writes a book about decluttering, Throw It Away, and promotes it on The Flow, the programme presented by Joyce Kinney. Lois takes up the method and tells the household to be rid of anything that does not bring them happiness. She applies the rule ever more strictly, and in time she puts the family out of the door along with everything else. Alone in an empty house with nothing left of her own, Lois becomes depressed.
