Peter and his friends have been feeling stressed with Thanksgiving coming up—and when Peter discovers that his wife, Lois, invited a bunch of relatives from her side of the family over for the upcoming holiday, he decides that the best way to avoid it is to get arrested.

Meanwhile, a secret that Peter and Lois's youngest son, Stewie, has been keeping from everyone is revealed.


Tropes in this episode:

  • Crossover: Superintendent Chalmers' twin brother, the Police Supintendent, arrives on the scene and explains his complicated backstory to the guys, then quickly places them under arrest.
  • Gone Horribly Right: Peter and the guys plan to get arrested to avoid spending time with their families. They succeed in getting sent to prison...a maximum security prison, as the local jail is completely full with a bunch of other people who had the same idea as them.
  • One Phone Call: Peter uses his to arrange a fashion montage instead of calling a lawyer.
  • Thanksgiving Episode: One in which Peter and the guys try to get out of celebrating the holiday by getting arrested.
