and Joe must choose a side.Brian's overlooked and neglected teenage
son Dylan returns to Quahog. While Dylan tries to reconnect with his
father, Brian tries to distance himself and ignore him. However, when
he learns that Dylan is a now a cast member in a new Disney Channel
television series, he â€" under the ruse of bonding â€" uses Dylan's
connections to secure a job on the series' writing staff to further
his career prospects. However, rather than work under age-appropriate
guidelines, Brian tries to adapt the writing to include more mature
content; because the material does not fit the network, Brian is fired
by a producer. Furthermore, a disillusioned Dylan realizes that Brian
is not interested in bonding but is merely using him for his own
selfish ambitions, and tells him that he never wants to see him again.
When Stewie sees Brian getting drunk out of depression, Brian realizes
how selfish he has been and how he never realized that he had the
chance to have Dylan back into his life again, but he pushed it aside.
Stewie decides to help him apologize to Dylan. On the first try Brian
gets beaten up after trying to sneak past security. However, right
when they are about to leave, Stewie sees a casting line and
successfully tries out for Dylan's show under one of his aliases.
While recording, Stewie breaks character and explains to Dylan that
Brian wants to apologize to him and become a true father to him. Dylan
meets up at the local park with Brian and forgives him.Meanwhile,
Peter, Quagmire and Joe go on a hunting trip. During a lunch break,
Peter shoots Quagmire in his arm when trying to show him how it would
be if the safety was off. When the three friends meet back at the bar,
Quagmire tells Peter he is fed up with his shortsighted and reckless
behavior, and ends their friendship. This causes a rift between the
two and leads towards a contest for Joe's affection. In the end, Joe
decides that Quagmire has helped him more through hard times and gets
along better with the family and chooses Quagmire. Peter tries to bond
with Kevin only to leave stating that Kevin is "masturbating with a
knife". With no more friends and even his own shadow abandoning him
for Quagmire, Peter decides to commit suicide, which Lois talks him
out of and persuades him to try and reconcile with Quagmire. Later on,
Peter offers Quagmire the opportunity to shoot him to break even,
thinking Quagmire would decline and consider the "thought" as being
what counts. However, when Quagmire actually agrees, the two wrestle
for the gun until Joe shoots Peter in an attempt to break even and
stop the dispute. Peter (angry he was shot by Joe) and Quagmire (upset
he was not the one who shot Peter) are dissatisfied. While Peter
argues how everyone will settle their differences, Quagmire shoots
Peter in the head making the score even. While Brian and Dylan are
reconciling, Lois pushes a brain-damaged Peter in a wheelchair where
Peter is explaining he is happy that he, Quagmire and Joe are friends
again. Brian's a Bad Father Biography, NetWorth, Height, Age, Weight, Family, Married, Son, Daughter
