snowstorm has invaded Quahog, Rhode Island, with Stewie set to visit
his grandparents, Carter and Barbara Pewterschmidt at their mansion.
While on the drive there, Carter falls asleep at the wheel and crashes
his car into a tree. The three then go to the hospital, where Griffin
family neighbor Joe Swanson alerts Carter that his driver's license
has to be revoked because of Carter's old age. Barbara then suggests
that the two retire. Carter is reluctant at first, since he does not
want to leave a $6 billion company, but he eventually agrees to do so,
admitting that he never had time to play polo or sit on a chair to
moisten his mouth. Later that day, the retired Carter decides to visit
his son-in-law Peter along with his friends Joe and Quagmire at the
local bar to learn about their discussions of their lives at home,
much to their chagrin. Carter also decides to live with the Griffin
family and attempts to find someone to hang out with, including
Quagmire. Peter voices his distaste of the situation, and he suggests
that they put Carter and Barbara in a retirement home in Florida.The
family is then able to drive to Florida and check out a retirement
community. Impressed at first, Carter then refuses to live in the
community, fearing that the people living there are just waiting to
die, and he's even able to shout at some of them by stating "I'm not
one of you, and I never will be!" Peter decides to talk to Carter on
his own in an attempt to convince him to live in the home, and
promises to show him how great it is to be retired. The two then
perform various tasks, including playing bingo and trying out the
thermostat in their room, and Carter then eventually agrees to live
there. Grumpy Old Man Biography, NetWorth, Height, Age, Weight, Family, Married, Son, Daughter
