# Absolutely Babulous

Episode 3 of Family Guy season 18 (S18E03), the 332nd Family Guy episode overall. Written by Mark Hentemann and Ted Jessup and directed by Mike Kim. First broadcast on 13 October 2019.

## Story

Stewie's boasting over a race medal stops when Brian points out that it is a participation award, as is every other trophy he owns. In a rage he burns the house down, and the family moves in with Carter and Babs. Stewie enters a pie-making contest, comes fifth, and is reassured that few entrants take a ribbon at all. Peter, sidelined as Lois falls back into high-society manners around her father, hears from Babs that she grew up poor as well. A drunken night out follows, and his encouragement to live as she pleases sends her back to her home town and away from Carter. Peter takes Carter after her disguised as a lorry driver. A fight there brings Babs to his defence, and she agrees to come home.
