The Book of Joe is the second episode of the thirteenth season of the
animated sitcom Family Guy, and the 233rd episode overall. It aired on
Fox in the United States on October 5, 2014, and is written by Mike
Desilets and directed by Mike Kim. In the episode, Peter helps Joe
fulfill his dream of getting a book published, only to take over as
the writer. In the meantime, Brian develops an extreme thirst for
exercise.The neighbors are invited over to Joe's house for a pool
party, and while looking around the house, Peter discovers that Joe
has been writing a children's book called The Hopeful Squirrel about a
paraplegic squirrel. Peter offers his support even though Joe has
doubts about it. Joe sends his book to a publisher and they pick it
up, but he decides to use the pen name "David Chicago" as his
co-workers on the police force do not support creativity. At a book
reading, his wheelchair and monotonous voice intimidate the children
and Peter decides to step in for him, becoming a success. Joe and his
agent Blake Walker enlist Peter to become the "face" of the pen name.
Joe has some misgivings, but decides to go along with it. When
interviewed by Tom Tucker, his humorous pokes at the handicapped get
under Joe's skin while the fans find it funny. Joe confronts Peter
over his angle on the book, but Peter uses the threat of the
publisher's support and Joe quits the project.Meanwhile, at a coffee
shop, Brian obsesses over a runner named Chloe (voice by Mae Whitman)
he sees and tries to impress her, scoring a date. When he arrives to
pick her up, she decides they should go for a run and he achieves a
“runner's high†more powerful than drugs and sleeps with her
despite the fact that they are watched by the Moon (who is depicted
with a Korean voice). Brian continues his workout, annoying the
family. Brian shows off his new in-shape yet rather gaunt figure which
frightens Stewie even to the point where he sees Brian's six visible
nipples. Brian has dumped Chloe to take up working out on a full-time
basis and plans to compete in the Quahog Marathon.Lois tries to talk
to Peter after being informed by Bonnie about what happened, but he
has bigger problems when he needs to write another book. He goes to
Quagmire and Cleveland to come up with a story for the sequel, which
differs greatly from the first book. At the debut of The Hopeful
Squirrel 2, Peter's blue presentation shocks the parents and their
children. The parents and children leave and Peter is fired by Blake
Walker while the book is dropped by the publishing company. Peter
realizes that Joe is the true spirit of the book and goes to Joe's
house to find him throwing away his writing materials and apologizes.
Joe forgives Peter and admits he never would have published it in the
beginning. The Book of Joe Biography, NetWorth, Height, Age, Weight, Family, Married, Son, Daughter
