* FauxAffablyEvil: [[EvilDoppelganger Evil Stewie]], as a contrast to the [[TookALevelInKindness now]]-AffablyEvil Stewie. When he finally speaks with Brian ([[DefensiveFeintTrap who has his hands tied to a pole to lure the former into a trap]]) Evil Stewie thanks him for "making it so easy", obviously relishing his chance to kill Brian.


Added DiffLines:

* IdiotBall: ''[[ChildProdigy Stewie]]'' of all people somehow thought that approaching [[TheSociopath Evil Stewie]] to bring him for testing ''unarmed'' wouldn't get him hurt. This leads to Evil Stewie [[NoHoldsBarredBeatdown viciously beating up Stewie]] and [[AttackTheTail cutting off Brian's tail]] before escaping the house to continue his rampage.
