Synopsis

Peter, hearing Quagmire brag about his sexual exploits, feels that he has missed out on enjoying the single lifestyle. Death is summoned to The Drunken Clam on a false alarm, and he grants Peter’s wish by sending him (along with Brian) back to 1984 for one night. Appearing to others as his 18-year-old self, Peter cancels his scheduled movie date to see Zapped! with Lois Pewterschmidt, instead accepting an invitation from Cleveland to go and party at a bar. Peter enjoys the evening, and is making out with future actress Molly Ringwald when Death appears to return him to the present.

Back in the present day, Peter discovers that his past actions have had drastic effects on the world: he and Molly have been married for 20 years; Lois is married to Quagmire; Chris, Meg, and Stewie have Quagmire's chin, nose and mannerisms; Judd Nelson frequently crashes at Peter's house, Chevy Chase is host of The Tonight Show; and Al Gore is President of a much wealthier, cleaner, safer, better educated and more technologically advanced United States where he killed Osama bin Laden who was hiding within the cast of MADtv. Dick Cheney, who is just known as the chairman of Halliburton, has just shot dead Antonin Scalia, Karl Rove, and Tucker Carlson. Brian explains to Peter (through use of a blackboard which strangely appeared in the living room) that by missing out on his date with Lois and making out with Molly, he altered the timeline. This scene is a copy of a scene from the film Back to the Future Part II. Over Brian's objections about leaving the "perfect" world, Peter begs Death to return him to the past so he can undo his mistake. Back in the past, Peter is determined to accept Lois' invitation, but stupidly blows his opportunity again and again, and ends up repeatedly asking Death for a do-over. When Peter parties again with Cleveland instead of keeping the date, he asks Death for another chance. Death, however, is fed up with Peter's bumbling and refuses to give him another mulligan, and Lois is greatly upset at Peter for missing their date. Peter and Brian sneak into the country club dance to prevent the kiss that caused Lois to fall in love with Quagmire. After Lois tells Peter that he’d had his chance and blown it, Peter almost gives up, but then demonstrates his passion by punching out Quagmire and kissing Lois, winning back her heart. He asks her to marry him, and she accepts. In order to keep with the Back to the Future theme, Brian mocks the part where Marty McFly plays "Johnny B. Goode" and does the same thing but uses Rick Astley's hit 1987 single "Never Gonna Give You Up". Peter then accidentally punches Ernie the Giant Chicken. Ernie looks angrily at Peter, but is held back by another partygoer, and is told that he'll probably never see Peter again...(but the opposite is true) This article is about the Family Guy character. ...
