# The Candidate

Episode 10 of Family Guy season 21 (S21E10), the 399th Family Guy episode overall. Written by Mark Hentemann and directed by John Holmquist. First broadcast on 11 December 2022.

## Story

Peter, Quagmire, Cleveland and Joe ride a scooter found outside The Drunken Clam down the East Coast. Mayor Wild West saves them from an alligator in Florida. Impressed, Stewie stands for snack captain at his school against Doug. He attacks Stewie hard and leads the polls even after fouling himself during the debate. Doug answers a story about his dummy by calling Stewie an accident. Footage in Chris's collection shows that Lois wanted another child and Peter did not. Doug dies, and Stewie wins.
