Story
A Father's Day scavenger hunt supervised by Principal Shepherd leads Peter, Joe, Cleveland and Quagmire to Wild West's ranch. The mayor is preparing for his yearly showdown with his absent father, Old West. Old West wants to make amends; his son refuses to listen. Camping in the Griffins' garden, the old outlaw explains that he tried and failed to go straight. Peter coaches him, but Wild has him arrested. Peter breaks him out, father and son are reconciled, and Old West rides away for good.
