Shanksgiving

Episode 8 of Family Guy season 18 (S18E08), the 337th Family Guy episode overall. Written by Alex Carter and directed by Brian Iles. First broadcast on 24 November 2019.

Story

Told that Lois's Thanksgiving dinner will take in her whole family, Peter has himself, Quagmire, Cleveland and Joe arrested so that the four can sit the holiday out in the town jail. The arrest is made by Police Superintendent Chalmers, twin brother of Superintendent Chalmers, and overcrowding caused by others with the same plan sends them to the state penitentiary instead. None of them can manage alone, so each joins a different prison gang. The only gang willing to take Peter requires him to stab Cleveland by way of initiation. Stewie, in a second story, must own up to something he has kept from the household.
