Plot summary

Spoiler warning: Plot and/or ending details follow.

During a visit with her parents, Lois recalls her teenage aspirations to be a model. In defiance of her father's wishes, she begins modelling and becomes very successful. Soon, however, she takes diet pills that her agent Karin Perrotta gives her, and stays out all night, and Peter becomes very jealous of the lust she inspires in other men. Desperate to get her out of the fashion world, Peter collaborates with Carter to get her back on track. They kidnap her at a Vogue party and bring her back to the Griffin's, where Carter demands that Lois quit her modeling career. Seeing his wife's great desire for modeling, Peter soon acquieses to Lois' career, insisting to Carter that it is her right. Realizing that she indeed has the full freedom to fulfill her wishes, she quits the career anyway, and Peter and Lois have sex on Carter's back. Meanwhile, Stewie starts a pyramid scheme business ("Cash$cam"). Brian learns he has worms and, unable to afford the medication but too embarrassed to ask Peter for money, reluctantly agrees to work for Stewie.

Notes

  • While playing the DVD containing this episode, after the Griffins win the boat race and Lois holds up a newspaper, then, if looked closely at or while paused, the headline on the newspaper reads "DVDS PAUSED FOR HEADLINE GAG, MILLIONS DISAPPOINTED."
  • In one part of the episode, Stewie asks Brian to get rid of the "Life's a Beach" coffee mug because the "other employees" find it offensive. Brian then asks who else works at CashScam and Stewie replies "Fuck you, that's who else". The "Fuck" is bleeped out on FOX and Adult Swim, but can be heard on the uncensored track of the DVD.

Cultural references

  • A worm in Brian's stomach says that even though he knows nothing of the world outside the dog, he still thinks Six Feet Under is pretentious.
  • Stewie talks to Grover on a play phone.
  • When Brian gets a job at Stewie's Cash Scam, Stewie tells Brian "If Cookie Monster calls, tell him I'm not talking to him until he gets out of rehab." Later in the episode, Lois sees him as a desperate, jittery addict, seated in a bathroom stall of the Drunken Clam trying to freebase cookie dough using a spoon and a cigarette lighter. The monster also screams "You guys are Nazis", a line from the movie Fight Club.
  • John Hinckley fires the starting pistol at the regatta, then walks away with Jodie Foster. In 1981 Hinckley attempted to murder Ronald Reagan in order to impress Foster, with whom he was obsessed.
  • The famous Maxell "Blown Away Guy" is parodied during the flashback when Carter initially disapproves of Lois's modeling career.
  • The founding fathers are shown debating on whether to call the state of Rhode Island, Rhode Island or Cacapoopoopeepeeshire. They eventually decided on flipping a coin to make the decision and RI prevailed. The comical sounding name is a portmanteau word fusing the Spanish slang word for feces: caca, poopoo, peepee, and the place name suffix: -shire. In Spanish it was translated as Cacapupupipílandia literally, caca, poopoo (pupu), peepee (pipí), and -landia meaning land, replacing -shire; it therefore translates back to English as Cacapoopoopeepeeland.
  • When Peter asks Lois "aren't you going to go do your little turn on the cat walk, Lois, on the catwalk, yeah on the catwalk. Do your little turn on the catwalk?" he makes reference to the 90s song "I'm Too Sexy" by Right Said Fred.
  • When the evil monkey from Chris' closet lies on Chris' bed, this duplicates a scene when Mitch Kramer lies in his bed from the film Dazed and Confused, except that the evil monkey rolls himself a joint, while Mitch did not.
  • Stewie's line to Brian "Whether you think you can or you think you can't, you're right" is very similar to a quote attributed to Henry Ford.
  • One of Lois's photoshoot (when the dog is tearing off her underwear), is a frontpage of Carmen Electra in Esquire.
  • When Stewie is in Louis's room as a teenager, he sees a trophy. He refers to this trophy as the second most impressive trophy he has ever seen. A clip is shown where bachelor Stewie calls out "Album of the year goes to Justin Timberlake". He hits Justin Timberlake with the trophy until he falls, and then says "Actually it goes to Nelly, Nelly".

THIRIEZ - Spreadsheet-Based Professional Modelling (5115 words)
Some model calculations are very slow, either because there are very large numbers of cells with formulas, or because some of the formulas (such as the calculation of an internal rate of return) require an iterative algorithm to be used.
Model validation is a most important issue, alas often overlooked or under-practiced in real life because it is a very delicate part of model development.
Before the model was built, the planners used a big wall planning system, on a 20-foot-wide board, with a horizontal rail for each oven and one for the rolling mill, and with column indicators for 6-minute steps in a full 7-day planning period.
