Baking Sad
Episode 8 of Family Guy season 22 (S22E08), the 417th Family Guy episode overall. Written by Damien Fahey and directed by John Holmquist. First broadcast on 3 December 2023.
Story
A rejection letter from the University of Rhode Island reaches Meg mid-bake, and her tears improve the biscuits. She sets up a business with Chris, Brian and Stewie, and it does well. Meanwhile Peter and his friends launch a daytime talk programme for men on Channel 5. Lois plans to wreck it from the audience with Donna and Bonnie, then relents when Peter admits a mistake on air. Meg, now content, can no longer cry to order. A therapist puts her mood down to time spent with her siblings, so the four close the business. A gas leak later kills him and everyone else in the building.
