Peter creeps into his bedroom to mark one of his jokes, trips the traps and falls downstairs. In hospital he apologises, and the list of his injuries finally makes Joe laugh. Lois chaperones Chris and Meg's school trip to Washington and embarrasses them. She bonds with Principal Shepherd over a lost first love, Shellie Barnes, voiced by Casey Wilson. Meeting her again goes badly, though Lois tells him he has fared better than she has. ## Facts | Fact | Detail | | --- | --- | | Season | 23 | | Episode | 2 of 18 | | Overall | No. 428 | | Code | S23E02 | | First aired | 23 February 2025 | | Directed by | Brian Iles | | Written by | Mike Desilets | | Source | Wikipedia: Family Guy season 23 | | IMDb | tt33365935 | | Verification | Checked against IMDb: title, year, numbering and credits agree | | US viewers | 1.02 million | ## Voices | Voice | Characters | | --- | --- | | Seth MacFarlane | Peter Griffin, Brian Griffin, Glenn Quagmire | | Alex Borstein | Lois Griffin, Barbara Pewterschmidt | | Seth Green | Chris Griffin | | Mila Kunis | Meg Griffin | | Patrick Warburton | Joe Swanson | | Arif Zahir | Cleveland Brown | | Gary Cole | Principal Shepherd | | Mike Desilets | Bully | Principal voice credits as recorded by IMDb, which lists up to ten credits per episode, so recurring characters can be missing here.
