History Recap / FamilyGuyS2E5WhistleWhileYourWifeWorks

After Peter blows off his fingers from some fireworks, Lois steps in to help him out at work (and Peter sexually harasses her because he wants to have sex with her in his office). Meanwhile, Stewie discovers that Brian has a girlfriend...one who's ([[{{Understatement}} to put it very mildly]]) not very bright.

* CouchGag / SomethingCompletelyDifferent: The opening sequence begins normally, but when Peter gets to the top of the steps, he trips and falls down the steps, crushing a dancer. [[SkewedPriorities He then complains about his swollen foot]] and Stewie tells the camera man to cut to the episode.
