to Quahog, Peter takes him to a strip club to simulate a bachelor
party. In his excitement, Carter has a heart attack and falls into a
coma. Dr. House is hired to treat him, but he throws his rule book out
the window and punches Carter in the face to ensure that he is
comatose. Carter's video will is discovered, in which he gives Lois
control of his billion-dollar manufacturing company, Pewterschmidt
Industries, even though she does not know how to run a corporation.
Peter, however, is inspired by House's "live-without-rules" regime and
decides to control the company himself.On his first day on the job,
Peter dismisses the entire board of directors for being unable to keep
up with his ideas and hires his friends to manufacture ridiculous
items. Soon after, Carter reawakens from his coma and finds what Peter
has done with his company. Carter confronts Peter in his former office
and demands for him to relinquish control of the company, but he
refuses; he instead forces him to work as a janitor, have and invite
people to his mansion for a Big Bang Theory viewing party, pay a
compliment to a sharply-dressed Asian man, and clean out the fridge in
the employee lounge. Business Guy Biography, NetWorth, Height, Age, Weight, Family, Married, Son, Daughter
