First broadcast on 13 April 2025. ## Story Quagmire admits he is seeing someone but hides her name, and a botched stakeout reveals her as Elle Hitler. Her habits win the group round, until it emerges that she has been unfaithful because Quagmire has never satisfied her. He gives up sex altogether before Peter restores his confidence, and a reunion leaves him with an aneurysm he survives. Meanwhile a near miss in a car park prompts Lois to put Stewie on a leash. Brian enjoys steering him about, then sees that he has become the sort of dog owner he despises. Stewie is run over moments after release. ## Facts | Fact | Detail | | --- | --- | | Season | 23 | | Episode | 9 of 18 | | Overall | No. 435 | | Code | S23E09 | | First aired | 13 April 2025 | | Directed by | John Holmquist | | Written by | Alex Carter | | Source | Wikipedia: Family Guy season 23 | | IMDb | tt35962748 | | Verification | Checked against IMDb: title, year, numbering and credits agree | | US viewers | 0.68 million | ## Voices | Voice | Characters | | --- | --- | | Seth MacFarlane | Peter Griffin, Brian Griffin, Stewie Griffin | | Alex Borstein | Lois Griffin, Elle Hitler, Angela Lansbury | | Seth Green | Chris Griffin | | Mila Kunis | Meg Griffin | | Mike Henry | Grocery Store Announcer, John Herbert, Theater Clerk | | Patrick Warburton | Joe Swanson | | Arif Zahir | Cleveland Brown | | Carlos Alazraqui | Nestor | | Travis Bowe | Paramedic | | Mike Desilets | Bill Burr | Principal voice credits as recorded by IMDb, which lists up to ten credits per episode, so recurring characters can be missing here.
