# Peter, Peter, Pumpkin Cheater

A Family Guy special released alongside season 23 (S23SP01), the 425th Family Guy episode overall. Written by Travis Bowe and directed by Joe Vaux. First broadcast on 14 October 2024.

## Story

Joe enters the giant pumpkin contest he has lost year after year to Patrick McCloskey, voiced by Glen Powell. Tired of the obsession, his friends hide the entry and break it, so Peter climbs inside to make up the weight. Joe wins, McCloskey exposes him, and every other grower turns out to have done the same. Meanwhile a row over Halloween costumes sends Brian off to find new company. Stewie brings Rupert to life, voiced by Derek Jacobi, and the toy tries to kill Brian out of jealousy. Stewie drowns Rupert in a lavatory to restore him, and Brian apologises.
