# A Bottle Episode

Episode 17 of Family Guy season 21 (S21E17), the 406th Family Guy episode overall. Written by Artie Johann and directed by Mike Kim. First broadcast on 16 April 2023.

## Story

A holiday in Nantucket ends with Lois barred from Airbnb over a review accusing her of theft. Her family deny taking anything. The owner, Dottie, voiced by Casey Wilson, tells Lois she took an expensive shampoo. Lois returns it, but the review stands. She watches the house, learns that Dottie relies on DoorDash, and becomes one of only two drivers serving the island. Threatening a poor review of her own, she forces a rewrite. Meanwhile Stewie and Brian sell saltwater taffy around Quahog, then rebrand it as a COVID-19 cure and push it at Trump rallies.
