Reynolds asks them for directions. He seems very appreciative of
Peter. The next morning Peter notices that Ryan has moved in across
the street, taking Cleveland Brown's former residence. Ryan says he's
filming for a movie nearby. Peter attends Ryan's housewarming party
that night, at which Ryan tickles him and requests that he return the
favor. Later that week, they go out to dinner, but Peter immediately
exits the restaurant when Ryan tries to kiss him. The next day, Peter
tells Lois he believes Ryan is gay but Lois rejects the idea. Peter
confronts Ryan, who replies that he is only attracted to Peter's
spirit in the way that a man is attracted to a woman. Angered by
Peter's accusation, Ryan orders him to leave and that they can never
talk againâ€"but hands him a cell phone so they can "always
talk".Brian picks up Stewie from a play date. On the drive home,
Stewie listens to "Before He Cheats" by Carrie Underwood on the radio.
He decides to stay in the car by himself to continue listening after
they reach home and accidentally hits the gear shift, causing the car
to move forward. Thinking he can drive, Stewie takes the car for a
ride and is thrilled by the experience. He hears on the car radio a
contest to win Justin Bieber concert tickets. Stewie calls the radio
station on his cell phone but becomes to nervous to talk so he hands
the phone to Rupert. In the process, he takes his eyes off the road,
loses control of the car, and crashes into a lamppost head-on,
destroying the front end of the car. (Herbert is heard on the radio
winning the tickets.) Stewie is uninjured and limps the totaled car
home and hopes Brian wouldn't notice. Unfortunately for Stewie, Brian
does notice the damage and immediately confronts Stewie on what
happened, who tries to deny his involvement by playing dumb, but Brian
points out that Stewie left Rupert in the car. He scolds Stewie not
just for wrecking his car, but for also for putting himself in a
position where he could gotten killed. Brian then says he'll tell
Peter and Lois, and Stewie tearfully begs Brian not to tell them, but
he insists on telling them to make sure that Stewie learns his lesson.
Afraid of being whipped by Peter and sent to "the Meg box" (where Meg
is stored when her face isn't being used as toilet paper by Peter),
Stewie runs away. He leaves a CD-ROM for Brian that details his plans.
Stewie takes the bus to the airport, but disembarks in the wrong
neighborhood. Consuela, the Griffin family's former maid, finds him
and takes him home. Brian finds Stewie, and tells him that he feels
that it was partially his fault that the car accident occurred, admits
he shouldn't have left Stewie alone in the car, and promises not to
tell anyone if Stewie promises to never drive his car again. They
attempt to leave Consuela's home, but she insists on keeping Stewie as
her own baby. After a relative of Consuela's threatens Brian with a
gun for attempting to take Stewie back, Stewie grabs the gun and
shoots Consuela in the foot, then fires shots into the air, giving him
and Brian the opportunity to return home, although Stewie states that
he didn't want to hurt her because she had shown kindness to him in
the past. Stewie Goes for a Drive Biography, NetWorth, Height, Age, Weight, Family, Married, Son, Daughter
