Part 2 picks up directly where Part 1 left off, with Lois announcing that Stewie tried to kill her. Everyone is confused at the idea, but Lois insists it is true and begins to explain what happened to her. After being shot by Stewie and falling overboard, she was rescued by a merman and nursed back to life. She found herself suffering from amnesia and aimlessly wandered the country, eventually ending up at a fat camp in North Carolina called Camp Putdownadaforka, where she was hired as a counselor, to prevent the kids eating each other. A few months later, Lois met and hooked up with a young man who initially seemed very nice, though it turned out he was actually a white supremacist. He took her to a convention where, after she spoke out against them, Lois was hit in the head by a bottle thrown by an enraged attendee. The impact of the bottle caused her to regain her memory, and she rushed back to Quahog. As soon as she finishes her story, everyone notices that Stewie has escaped. Joe initiates a manhunt around town to track down Stewie, though his team has little luck.
The Griffins return home and are surprised to find Stewie waiting for them, armed with a M1911A1. Knowing that his crime and maliciousness are no longer a secret to the Griffins, he restrains them while he forms a plan. When Cleveland walks into the house in a casual manner, he is shot and killed by Stewie in front of the terrified family. Realizing that neither the police nor the press would ever overlook a black man's disappearance, Stewie ties the family down to chairs in the living room and forces Brian to drive him to the CIA Headquarters.
After Stewie and Brian pose as CIA agents to get into the building, Stewie gains access to the CIA's supercomputer and takes control of the planet's power grid. Stan Smith and Avery Bullock attempt to intervene, but find themselves helpless against Stewie's threat to rid the world of electricity, and fulfill his demands to become "President of the World." When President Stewie broadcasts his oppressive new laws across the planet from the White House, Lois becomes enraged and fed up with his tyrannical reign. Realizing what she must do, she arms herself with various weapons from Stewie's reserve and heads out to assassinate her baby.
Lois crashes through the window in the Oval Office at the White House and confronts Stewie. Lois and Stewie are each armed with an arsenal of weapons and they clash in a violent, drawn-out battle. Lois eventually gains the upper hand and prepares to shoot Stewie with her shotgun. After being spurred on by Stewie, however, Lois ultimately realizes that although he is evil, he is still her baby and she could never bring herself to kill him; Lois drops her gun and surrenders, allowing Stewie, who has no qualms about killing his mother, to gain the upper hand. Just as he is about to kill Lois, Peter enters the room and shoots Stewie in the chest then the head, killing him. Peter and Lois loom over Stewie's corpse and, despite everything that's happened, hold each other brokenheartedly in silence over the loss of their son. The words "SIMULATION OVER" suddenly pop up on the screen.
The scene pulls away to Stewie sitting in a strange chair-like device. Brian comes into the room with postcards from Peter and Lois on the cruise, which is reportedly going well for them, and finds Stewie coming out of the device. It is revealed that most of the events from the past two episodes were in fact a computer simulation Stewie was watching to see how attempting to kill Lois would pan out for him after being told by Brian that he never would. In other words, the entire affair was largely a "dream." Stewie tells Brian things didn't work out so well for him in the simulation, and that his plans of matricide and world domination will have to wait. They go off on a tangent about how the "dream sequence" may annoy people potentially watching it, saying it would be like a "big middle finger to the fans". As Stewie insists that at least it didn't cut off in mid-sentence like The Sopranos, he is cut off in mid-sentence when the screen becomes black.
Ref[]
- When Meg fiddles with one of Stewie's inventions, it teleports her to the USS Enterprise where Scotty says "Admiral, there be whales here!" referencing Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home.
- At the end, Brian says the fact that most of the two episodes had been a simulation would be a giant middle finger to the hypothetical viewer, and Stewie says "At least it didn't end like The Sopranos when it just cut to black in mid sen..." then the episode does exactly that just as the final episode of The Sopranos did.
Trivia[]
- When he has a shotgun pointing at her, Stewie says to Lois "Say hi to Cleveland for me. Oh, and Mr. Weed." This is his first mentioning since his death in "Mr. Saturday Knight" when he choked to death on a dinner roll. In "Jungle Love", Peter had moved on from the Happy-Go-Lucky Toy Factory by finding employment at the Pawtucket Brewery.
- During the scene where Brian is driving Stewie to the CIA, when his gun goes off a total of 18 shots are heard. Although the car takes damage when Stewie shoots it up after nearly falling asleep, it is intact again when they reach CIA Headquarters.
- When the family is tied up, Peter suggests starting a rumor and then says that Rob Schneider picks up immigrants at Home Depot and makes them choke him in the shower. Later in the episode, this is revealed to actually be true.
- Willem Dafoe used to live under Stewie's cot. Stewie was scared of him.
- Agent Stan Smith and Deputy Director Avery Bullock are seen in the episode.
- While Lois normally wears a bra, she does not seem to wear one during Stewie's simulation.
- Stewie says he should have been this big when he practices for American Idol. It then cuts to him preforming "Lost In Your Eyes" for American Idol. He fails, and then exits the audition room giving a tear-felt speech typical of Idol rejects.
- Stewie's entry number for American Idol is 09346.
- When Stewie attacks Lois with the flamethrower, he burns the American flag. This is a common anti-American symbol.
- When Stewie forces Brian to drive away from the house, the sound of the engine turning over can clearly be heard. However, because of the way that the engine is designed, a Toyota Prius has a silent ignition.
- During the battle between Lois and Stewie in the oval office, the presidential portraits can be seen on the wall. Bill Clinton appears naked in his portrait.
- Lois finishes off the chaingun's ammunition on George W. Bush's presidential portrait.
- The fat camp that Lois goes to work at is called Camp Putdownadaforka.
- Despite Stewie creating his own flag featuring his face against an orange and yellow background, the flag Lois is holding is American.
- In the uncensored version, Magic Johnson reappears and does a similar routine as he did in the "Blue Harvest" episode.
- When Lois and Peter switch bodies, Peter hums the Green Acres theme song while playing with Lois' breasts. This scene is deleted in some showings due to sexual references.
- There was originally going to be a musical number sung by Stewie while giving his televised address to the world, but it was cut for time. It appears on the DVD.
- According to Seth MacFarlane in the DVD commentary, this is the last episode they were able to fully produce before the WGA went on strike. He has gone on record to say that he does not want FOX to hire anyone to finish any future episodes without his consent or involvement.
