Plot

Stewie sees on the news that his old friend, child actress Olivia’s Hollywood career is coming to a close and she is making an appearance at the Quahog mall. He goes to the mall to gloat but winds up falling in love with her. She does not return his feelings. Stewie takes Brian’s advice (after seeing Quagmire being mean to a stranger by calling her a whore) to be mean to her, and soon they tie the knot with Rupert officiating. But their relationship quickly turns into a stereotypical marriage filled with resentment and bickering, which comes to an ugly head when they join Brian and Jillian on a double date. When he discovers that Olivia is cheating on him, Stewie sets fire to their house, leaving Olivia and her new playmate for dead in the process. Stewie redirects here. ...

Brian Griffin is a fictional character from the animated television series Family Guy, and is voiced by show creator, Seth MacFarlane. ...

Meanwhile, Peter watches a chick flick with Lois and is so deeply moved by it that, after renting several other chick flicks, decides to make one of his own. The plot of Peter’s movie, Steel Vaginas, is as follows: Peter plays a man who claims he did not care much for women until he met a girl named "Vageena Hertz" (played by Lois), who happened to be his own daughter. Vageena then one day eats a sandwich before swimming in the lake and nearly drowns. She is then rushed to the hospital where she dies of an angry hymen and, on that note, the film ends. Because of the film's poor editing and undeveloped plot events, everyone thinks Peter’s movie is completely pointless. This article is about the Family Guy character. ... The term chick flick is slang for a movie that appeals mainly to women or young girls, either by design or popular consensus. ... Lois Griffin (nee. ... For the Greek god of marriage, see Hymenaios. ...

During the closing credits, it is suggested that Stewie's troubled relationship was because of his ambiguous sexuality; when Brian explains to Stewie what it means to be gay, Stewie replies, "Oh yeah, I could totally get into that." Homosexuality refers to sexual interaction and / or romantic attraction between individuals of the same sex. ...

Notes

• When filming his chick flick Peter seems to be under the false impression that Joe can still use his legs. He showed a similar lack of understanding when he encouraged a drowning Joe to kick in The Cleveland–Loretta Quagmire
• Brian’s comment about black men to Stewie is a running joke on the show, that Brian is a racist, first shown in “Don’t Make Me Over,” and later in “Peter’s Got Woods.”
  • In a different episode, “Peter’s Two Dads,” Peter is shown with a glass pipe and crack cocaine. Brian asks where he purchased the pipe and crack, and Peter replies “blacks.” Brian is stunned, but Peter goes on to explain that he got the crack from a white guy behind Black’s Hardware Store.
• According to DVD commentary and the animatic also on the volume 5 DVD set, the original subplot with Stewie and Brian involved Stewie falling for Jillian's friend named Anna (a single mother who reads to children at a bookstore) and building a robot suit that makes him look like an adult. Also included in the animatic is a conversation between Peter and Lois after watching his film, where one can understand what they thought about it; in it, Peter begins to question his abilities to make good chick flicks, with Lois cheering him up by saying it was not his abilities, but the movies he drew inspiration from that were bad, and goes on to criticize such mediocre chick flicks as Must Love Dogs and Mona Lisa Smile.
• This is the third episode where Brian has expressed his apparent contempt for his father. In “Screwed the Pooch,” he said, "My father wasn't there for me, but damn it, I'm going to be there for MY kids", and in “Don't Make Me Over,” Brian claimed to have unintentionally picked up racism against black people from his father, and did the same thing in this episode near the very end.
• This episode was shown twice on FOX with a “TV-14” rating for suggestive dialog (D) and offensive language (L), as have most Family Guy episodes. However, the Parents Television Council cited the scenes involving Chester Cheetah wounding his hand after snorting cheese curl dust as well as several other allegedly violent scenes in the episode in that the episode should have been given a “V” (violence) descriptor as well. In ^[2] There have been several other Family Guy episodes given “V” descriptors to their content ratings.
