# The Fat Lotus

Episode 13 of Family Guy season 23 (S23E13), the 439th Family Guy episode overall. Written by Steve Callaghan and directed by Brian Iles. First broadcast on 18 May 2025.

## Story

A coffin is loaded onto a plane. The story then turns back a week, to a holiday at a Bermuda resort managed by a newly sober Brian. While Peter hunts down a famous cheesecake, Lois and Quagmire visit a lighthouse, and the others take them for lovers. In fact the pair ate the cheesecake and threw the rest into the sea. Lois admits she feels neglected. Stewie travels under an invented name and fears he is to be sacrificed on a volcanic hike. Brian catches Meg and Chris shoplifting rum, drinks it himself and loses his job. Jeffrey goes after a lost hat and is killed by sharks drawn in by the floating cheesecake.
