attempt to convince him that he should take responsibility for his
son. At this time, Dylan arrives at the Griffins' house, explaining
that Tracy dropped him off for Brian to raise. There he begins tearing
the house apart and acts hostile toward everyone, even attacking the
Evil Monkey in Chris's closet. He especially acts hostile towards
Brian, who decides to take control and kick him out. However, after he
attempts to leave with a bag of Brian's cannabis, they discover a
shared enjoyment of the drug and the two smoke up and bond. When Brian
apologizes for not being there for Dylan when he was born, it leads to
an emotional reconciliation.Brian quickly shapes Dylan up to be a fine
young man, though he himself begins to act a bit self-righteous in his
newly discovered role as father. Peter feels very uncomfortable about
this, so he decides to convince Tracy to take Dylan back to live with
her in the hopes that Brian would go back to normal. While Brian
attempts to justify his behavior, Dylan steps up, saying it is time
for him to turn his mother's life around just as Brian had done for
him. Brian agrees, and the two part ways. The Former Life of Brian Biography, NetWorth, Height, Age, Weight, Family, Married, Son, Daughter
