# The First No L

Episode 9 of Family Guy season 19 (S19E09), the 358th Family Guy episode overall. Written by Damien Fahey and directed by Joseph Lee. First broadcast on 13 December 2020.

## Story

Lois puts the family in charge of the Christmas shopping while she prepares everything else. Peter has left the car with an empty tank, so they reach only the strip mall and come home with nothing. Peter drives off for presents and a tree, falls asleep and dreams he saved the day. Lois walks out, saying she will spend Christmas with a cousin in Cabo, then watches the house from a nearby motel. On Christmas Eve she steals the presents and tree in the manner of the Grinch. On her return the family give her a note and a badly made bowl, and she says nothing about the theft.
