to the announcement. Peter then alerts the family that he has been
selected for jury duty, which he believes is an exclusive experience.
After Brian informs him that everyone serves jury duty at some point,
Peter tries to be kicked out of court by annoying the others,
expressing fabricated prejudices, singing "Surfin' Bird", and
attempting to discuss the trial outside of the courtroom. When Peter
returns home that night, the local news announces that the Earth will
be destroyed by the newly discovered, and continually expanding, black
hole within the next 24 hours. Frantic over the news, everyone in
Quahog attempts to live out the best last day possible. Herbert
finally attempts to have sex with Chris, Quagmire has sex with Bonnie,
and Peter manages to steal a lion from the zoo and say the
"you-know-what word" in a black neighborhood - he is well respected as
a result. As the countdown reaches its final seconds, Peter confesses
to Lois that while he loves her, he hates spending time with his kids.
Immediately afterward, the news anchors reveal the black hole report
was an April Fools' prank.Even though their father said he was joking
around, Meg, Chris and Stewie don't buy it and prevent themselves from
making contact with Peter. After realizing how angry they are, Peter
tries to reconcile with his kids by spending time with each of them.
Peter tries to attempt to learn about his kids interests, first by
asking Meg about her period, which she claims is not an interest but
something she cannot control, then by asking Chris to do
methamphetamine with him as a father-son activity, and finally by
asking Stewie about his toys (the latter two reveal him getting high
on the meth and destroying Chris' rooms wall and the roof in Stewie's
room), all of which make things worse for Peter. After a heartfelt
speech does not work, Peter finally buys his kids' love by giving them
a new Xbox 360, and they proclaim Peter "the best father ever". At the
end of the show, Meg asks if she can play the Xbox, but Peter is
playing Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2, albeit terribly, much to the
other players' fury, two of them being Quagmire and Joe who tell Peter
he sucks at the game. April in Quahog Biography, NetWorth, Height, Age, Weight, Family, Married, Son, Daughter
