at the Drunken Clam, Peter falls in love with a cardboard cutout of
Kathy Ireland. He takes her home and has an 'affair' with her. Soon he
is caught by Lois who calls him an idiot. Peter introduces Kathy to
the kids as their new mom, but after finding that Chris took her into
his room, he angrily confronts her and ends up ripping her in half. He
tearfully buries her in the yard and begs Lois for forgiveness. Lois
forgives him and they have sex and Lois is shocked when Peter
discovers a lump on her breast, causing her to go to the hospital the
next day to have it tested for breast cancer. The test comes back
negative, but while looking through her medical records, Dr Hartman
discovers that Lois' mother is a Jewish Holocaust survivor, making
Lois and her children Jewish by heritage. Barbara confirms her
heritage, and Carter admits he kept it a family secret so that they
could join the country club. Despite not being Jewish himself, Peter
takes to it eagerly, much to Lois' frustration. That night, Peter is
visited by the ghost of his adoptive father, Francis, who warns him
that he will go to Hell for not being Catholic. The next day, Peter
decides to re-convert the family to Catholicism and becomes prejudiced
against Lois' heritage, becoming anti-Semitic.Taking advice from her
mother not to let Peter suppress her identity, like her own husband
did to her, Lois decides to hold a Passover Seder, which Peter tries
to ruin so he can celebrate Easter. He shows up in an Easter bunny
costume while drunk. Jesus appears, revealing he himself is Jewish,
and points out that Catholicism and Judaism are very similar. He then
tells Peter that he should treat people of different faiths as fairly
as he wants to be treated. Peter and Lois apologize to each other, but
are at a loss for what religion they should follow. After being asked
this by Peter, Jesus answers "Six of one, they're all complete crap",
and then Brian, himself an atheist, (offscreen) chimes in from the
other side of the room, responding "Thank you!" Family Goy Biography, NetWorth, Height, Age, Weight, Family, Married, Son, Daughter
