family's dismay. The next morning, Chris is seen studying at the
breakfast table for an upcoming exam at school. After first being told
not to study at the table by Lois, Brian notices that Chris's history
textbook is hopelessly out of date. Upset by this, Lois goes to a PTA
meeting to complain about the textbook. Responding to her grievances,
Principal Shepherd explains that the school cannot afford new
textbooks due to the school's loss of federal funding under the No
Child Left Behind Act as a result of their low test scores. Forced to
make a decision on how to improve the scores and the school's overall
performance, Principal Shepherd decides to expel the school's
"dumbest" student, who is revealed to be Chris Griffin.While talking
about Chris's situation with Lois, Peter is suddenly confronted by the
Giant Chicken. This is the third fight between the two. Their epic
battle ranges from the Griffin house, through the sewers, onto a
subway train, over the girders of a high-rise construction site, and
then up into a biplane, crashing into a giant Ferris wheel, which is
dislodged from its platform and rolls through the streets. The fight
continues atop the rolling wheel until it demolishes a ten-story
apartment building. Emerging from the wreckage, Peter and the Chicken
realize that neither has any idea what they are fighting about. They
apologize to each other, and the Chicken invites Peter to join him and
his wife, Nicole, for dinner. At the restaurant, the three have just
finished a lovely meal when the check arrives, and both Peter and the
Chicken (named Ernie) insists on paying the tabâ€"Peter insists on
paying since his order was kind of expensive while Ernie insists on
paying as a way of apologizing to Peter. As they face off, the fight
resumes and leads them into the restaurant kitchen. Peter subdues
Ernie with a pot of boiling water and beats him unconscious. Peter
staggers home, and back in the kitchen, Ernie lies lifeless on the
floor, but in a sudden close-up, Ernie's left eye opens as dramatic
music plays, foreshadowing another chicken fight. Peter goes home and
resumes his conversation with Lois. No Chris Left Behind Biography, NetWorth, Height, Age, Weight, Family, Married, Son, Daughter
