Better Off Meg
Episode 18 of Family Guy season 18 (S18E18), the 347th Family Guy episode overall. Written by Emily Towers and directed by Anthony Agrusa. First broadcast on 3 May 2020.
Story
Meg misses the news that the school is holding a Cut Classes Day, and her family spends the day out with a barrel in a Meg hat standing in for her. She bowls alone on her birthday. Bruce then mixes up her driving licence and hands it to the wrong customer, so the records show Meg as dead, and she finds that nobody mourns her. She takes the name Natalee Hallway and starts again. When she later tells Chris the truth, he has his own reasons for keeping her out of sight.
