Plot summary

Quagmire comes back from Florida with fireworks. Before Peter has enough time to tell Quagmire the very long name of the firework bomb he has made, the fireworks explode, severing and scattering Peter’s fingers. Peter must then collect his fingers so that they can be reattached. Later, it’s closing time at the Drunken Clam but Peter and crew are not ready to stop drinking yet, so they continue the alcohol consumption at the Pawtucket Brewery. Once Peter returns to work, he is scolded by his supervisor, Angela, who tells him that his productivity has waned. Peter explains that his injured hand is to blame, but Angela still says he has to improve or he will be fired. Lois comes to the brewery to help Peter get caught up at work by typing for him while his hand heals.

Meanwhile, Brian tells Stewie that he has been dating a girl named Jillian, but he doesn’t want Stewie to meet her. Stewie is convinced that the reason for this is that Jillian is ugly, but Brian finally introduces Stewie to Jillian to prove that she is actually attractive. Stewie soon discovers that the real reason Brian didn’t want him to meet Jillian is because she is a dumb blonde. Brian is teased by Lois for dating someone so dense when Stewie tricks her into coming over to the house for dinner, and Brian later admits that the relationship is basically based on sex and that he should end it soon.

In the office, Peter imagines Lois is his secretary and begins to sexually harass her in an attempt to convince her to have sex with him in the office. Lois eventually complies in an attempt to keep him quiet, though unexpectedly ends up enjoying it. Later, she finishes Peter's work (presumably in time for Peter to start using his injured hand again) and all is well.

Stewie encourages Brian to break up with Jillian, but when Brian goes to her house to do so, he is distracted by her wet, naked body (she was in the shower at the time) and ends up having sex with her instead. It is implied Stewie expected this to happen.

• This is the last of the 35 episodes from production season four [2].
• This is the second time Drew Barrymore has guest-starred on the show, the first being “Fast Times at Buddy Cianci, Jr. High” in 2005.
• The security code Peter enters to get to his porn is 1 0 2 2 1 9 7 6, which happens to be the birthdate of director Greg Colton.^[1]

Goofs

• Peter and Lois engage in sex in the office while Opie looks on; however, Opie was promoted and transferred to a different department in “The Courtship of Stewie’s Father” and replaced with the Decepticon Soundwave (Of course, this assumes a level of pseudo-continuity not consistent in the fiction-within-fiction world of the show, & so is not really a "goof").

This article contains a trivia section. ... Soundwave (Later: Soundblaster in Japan) is a character from the fictitious Transformers metaseries. ...

Censorship

The FOX edited version of this episode has Stewie sarcastically asking Brian if Jillian’s parents are brother and sister after listening to her airheaded statements (the “brother/sister” line was also used in the FOX promos for this episode). On Cartoon Network/Adult Swim and the DVD, the original line “Is she retarded?” is used.

The FOX edited version of this episode bleeps out the word "fucking" spoken by Stewie concerning Jillian. During a conversation with Jillian and the entire immediate Griffin family at their house, Stewie asks Jillian as she's leaving if she knows what the capital of Rhode Island is, and she responds, "Rhode Island City?" This is when stewie, on the DVD, says "It's like she's fucking five!"

Cultural references

• Get Smart—The scene where Peter walks through a series of automatic doors to get at his girlie magazines, while reminiscent in small degree of the opening to the 1960s situation comedy starring Don Adams, is actually a parody of a scene in True Lies
• Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs (1937 Disney adaptation)—The episode title is a parody of the song Snow White sings when she cleans the Seven Dwarfs’ cottage before they come home (“Whistle While You Work”).
• Quagmire talks about the TV series Wings at the Pawtucket Brewery when they are bathing naked in the beer. His love for the show, which is about two pilots, may explain why he himself decided to become a pilot. When Peter, Joe and Cleveland say they haven’t heard of the show or of the show’s star, Tim Daly, he storms out of the brewery, naked and very frustrated. The show ran on NBC from April 19, 1990 to May 14, 1997 (though Quagmire says it was on for ten years, although he was likely inebriated while saying so).
• Legend—The Lord of Darkness accidentally pokes out Quagmire and Cleveland’s eyes with his large horns.
• Waco Siege—Chris lights several fireworks, and says to Meg “You’re David Koresh and I’m a heavy-handed FBI agent” before throwing them at her.
• Joe would strike down Debra Messing if he was God while Cleveland would strike down French Stewart.
• Brian talks about the Abraham Lincoln assassination during Our American Cousin.
• At work, Peter takes calls from Cleveland, who explains each scene from You, Me, and Dupree, and from Quagmire, who explains scenes from Along Came Polly.
• Stewie sings “U.G.L.Y.” by Daphne and Celeste, with reference to Jillian, erroneously thinking she is ugly.
• Brian mentions that Real World/Road Rules Challenges as one of the topics he and Jillian talk about.
• Brian’s ring tone is “Axel F.” The same song would be danced to by Peter in “Meet the Quagmires.”
• At the end of the episode Stewie asks Brian to play his mixed tape. The song playing is “Cars” by Gary Numan (1979). Stewie sings different lyrics, however: “Brian had sex with a really dumb girl, now he’s taking his friend Stewie to get some ice cream in his car!”
