The Birthday Bootlegger
Episode 8 of Family Guy season 20 (S20E08), the 377th Family Guy episode overall. Written by Mark Hentemann and directed by Julius Wu. First broadcast on 21 November 2021.
Story
Peter runs lavish monthly birthday parties at the brewery until a new manager, Preston Lloyd, puts output first and stops them. Peter keeps them going in secret in a disused meeting room, and a borrowed amplifier gives the game away, so he is sacked. The staff side with him when he comes in for his things, and Lloyd takes him back on the grounds that a party a month may keep people working. In the other story, a prank on Doug earns Stewie a day of detention at the school across the road. He treats it as a prison sentence, returns hardened and takes it out on the family. A bath from Lois settles him, though a tattoo remains.
