Good evening, I'm Tom Tucker.
The guy who dyes my hair

is on vacation
and I can't get ahold of him.

Our top story tonight:
Excitement in the music world

as former Jolly Farm star
Mary Elizabeth Becca Ryan

is releasing her debut single,

the surprisingly filthy
"Face Chair."

Oh, my God!
I can't believe MEBR

is finally releasing
her first song.

-"MEBR"?
- Yes. Mary Elizabeth Becca Ryan.

Her real fans call her MEBR.

I've literally never heard
you talk about her.

Talk about MEBR?
I'm always talking about MEBR.

I love MEBR.
If I weren't such a big fan,

would I have MEBR tattooed
right above my root?

That is very low.

Yeah. It's a root tattoo.
They're low.

Brian, I have followed
her whole career

ever since she was the little
pig who went "oink, oink"

on Jolly Farm.

I can't believe
it's the same girl.

You know, all the Jolly Farm
kids grew up to be stars.

Except for the ones
who went broke, OD'd,

or are now just clickbait
mug shots on the CNN web page.

But I'm all in on MEBR.
She is a superstar.

I told you she'd grow up
to be hot.

You couldn't say that then
and you can't say it now.

Did and did.

Hey, Dad, will you have
a catch with me?

I heard girls like
baseball players,

so I want to learn how to throw
batteries at baseball players.

Ah, I'd love to, Chris.

There's no better...

bonding experience...

than a father...

and a son...

having a catch.

I'm out.

Better call in
Boston Dynamics Dad instead.

Come on, sport.

I will throw
and catch with you

and not study your emotions
for future enslavement.

I think it might be time to get
your weight under control.

It's affecting your relationship
with Chris.

Boys need a father
who can spend time with them.

No, I'm fine.

Couple hard sniffs and a spit,
and I'll be good.

Okay, okay, that's a no-go.

Just put me on a blanket
and slide me to the TV.

Oh, hey, Bri. Just recording
a new Tok to MEBR's song.

Don't you think that song's
a little too dirty

for a baby to be singing?

"Face Chair" isn't dirty.
Look at the lyrics.

"Knock, knock. There's a box.

"And it's coming for you.

"Open up. With care.

Then drop that box
right on your chair."

See? It's basically
an unboxing video.

Okay. I'm gonna go eat
my Taco Bell in the other room.

You know,
you shouldn't eat Taco Bell.

MEBR says you should
only eat organic food,

because it's better
for the environment.

I had $1.67 and I wanted
two tacos and a big soda.

And, what, you taking all
your cues from a pop star now?

Oh, I'm sorry, but do you have
60 million followers

- on Instagram?
- I think you know I have 12.

11. Joe's out
after your defund post.

And I'm more than just a fan.

I'm a Maryonette.

We're like Beyoncé's BeyHive,

except there's
no marionette emoji,

so we just send jumbo pretzels.

I don't think
it's healthy for you to attach

so much of your personality
to a celebrity.

You should be thinking
for yourself.

This from a guy
who blindly runs into a room

whenever he hears a can opener.
You don't get it.

She sees the world in a way
you won't ever see, Brian.

With blues and greens?

Ye-- uh, well, yeah,
I guess that, too.

You know, she has a concert
in Quahog tomorrow.

You should come with me,
and I can show you

what makes her so special.

That sounds like my hell.

There is nothing you can do
to get me to go to that concert.

MEBR concert, please.

Oh, I'm a dumb dog.

Hey, any of you know
how to tie a tie?

I have to go
to a patient's funeral.

You can just google it.

Yeah, I did that
before my last surgery.

And, well, there's a lot
of bad info out there.

Anyway,
how can I help you today?

Peter needs to lose weight,
and we were hoping

you could help us.

Sure, there are
a few options we could try.

- You can increase your exercise.
- Pass.

- Switch to a vegan diet.
- I'd rather die.

Or quit drinking.

Is there something simple
we could start with first?

Yeah, what did
Honey Boo Boo's mom do?

We have a similar work ethic.

She had lap band surgery.

If you're interested
in that option,

the hospital is running
a promotion where it comes

with a free Nintendo Switch.

Lap band surgery is very popular
in the Switch community.

Do I have to walk
to the surgery room?

We'll put you on a blanket,
and slide you in right now.

I'll do it.

Oh, my God. This is worse.

I feel amazing.

Like a bride on his wedding day.

Time to immortalize
this moment with a photo,

because pictures at concerts
always turn out great.

Thank you,
my little Maryonettes.

Now please enjoy
this prerecorded bridge

while I check my phone,
like all Gen Z performers.

What?

Oh, MEBR responded!

Uh-oh.

What?

She thought my post
was making fun of her.

She put me on blast.

I need to send an apology.

And people reported me, my
account is blocked and locked.

What the hell is happening?

Can I just address something
for a second, my Maryonettes?

Bullying is unacceptable.

And Stewie Griffin is a bully.

Aw, man, we got
to get you out of here

before someone recognizes you.

Yeah, let's grab our coats

and get the hell out of here.

Yes, I misplaced my ticket,

but it is a glen plaid car coat

- with a fur-lined collar.
- Which one?

How many glen plaid car coats
with fur-lined collars

- are back there?
- Is this it?

The pleather jacket
with every NFL logo on it?

Is that a glen plaid car coat
with a fur-lined collar?

- Actually, that's mine.
- That's yours?

Hey, don't get mad at me
'cause you lost your ticket.

Oop, and here comes the rain.

Oh, God.

At least tell me
you have my cane handle

Burberry doorman umbrella.

I have a chewed-up
walking stick with gum on it.

Right here, brah.

All items accounted for.

How you hanging in, Stewie?

Not good.

The Maryonettes are
still attacking me.

All my accounts are
being flooded,

they doxed
my favorite Froyo place,

and someone even made a deepfake
of me at the Capitol riots.

I was there, but I never went
inside the building, man!

Well, this is all a product
of the stan culture.

See, fans form these
strong bonds with celebrities,

so when you insult them,

you inadvertently start a war
with thousands of people.

I wish I could explain myself.

But no one will listen.

Well, hopefully
it all blows over.

It won't, Brian.
You don't know the Maryonettes.

What I need to do is
reach out to them.

- Extend an olive branch.
- What are you thinking?

You remember when Gal Gadot
got those celebrities

to sing "Imagine"
in $300,000 kitchens?

Well, I filmed myself singing

in moderately priced kitchens.

Hey, guys, you know,
this virus of hate has infected

my entire world.
And I saw this video

of this Italian guy playing
the trumpet, um, on his balcony,

and, uh, there was
something so powerful and pure,

um, about this video,
and it goes--

it goes like this.

♪ Mr. Lover Lover, mmm ♪

♪ Mr. Lover Lover,
mmm ♪

♪ She call me Mr. Boombastic ♪

♪ Tell me fantastic,
touch me on my back ♪

♪ She says I'm Mr. Ro, Ro ♪

♪ Mantic, call me fantastic ♪

♪ Touch me on my back,
she says I'm Mr. Ro ♪

♪ Smooth just like a silk-a. ♪

How are people liking it?

Oh, it's made it much worse.

Hey, where's Dad?

He said he was gonna help me

with my science fair project.

Up here, kids.

Thoughts?

We're gonna call you Mr. Skin.

Um...

Oh, really?

Uh, we'll... we'll call you
something else.

You know what?
You guys can't hurt me.

I like my new look.

So, are you gonna help me
with my science fair project?

I would love to, Chris,
but like all people

who undergo drastic weight loss,
I have time to make up for.

And that means abandoning
the people who stuck with me

through the fat years.

You'll understand
when you're older.

- Is there a bit of a smell?
- There's a bit of a smell.

Hey, what's everyone thinking
for playtime?

Hi. I'll speak for the group.

We heard about
what you did, Stewie.

No one wants to play with you.

Okay. I see.

I guess I'll just play with
this doctor's waiting room toy

where you push a bead
along a wire.

Plenty of room if anybody wants
to join.

It's a multi-kid toy. Anybody?

I already pushed the bead
through the double twist

where it gets fast for a second.

Scary part's over. Anybody?

Preschool is supposed
to be more about

socialization than education.

This could have lasting
long-term damage. Anybody?

They say kids
who aren't properly socialized

by the age of five
can never catch up.

Doctors agree. Anybody?

It doesn't necessarily affect
financial outcomes,

more affects stable
emotional relationships.

There's a lot of literature
about it. Anybody?

A long-term study out
of the University of Indiana

backs this up. I know
that doesn't sound impressive,

but all the Ivy League schools
couldn't find fault in it.

Anybody?

Go away, Brian.
I've already made my decision.

There's nothing you can say
that will change my mind.

You texted me to come outside.

This whole ordeal has made
my life a living hell,

and I no longer feel safe.

So Rupert and I have decided
to lay low for a while.

Where are you gonna go?

We're going to a restorative

meditation retreat
in the mountains.

We will be unplugging our minds
and our bodies.

Yes, Rupert, there will still be
one thing getting plugged.

Oh, gosh.

I know. This guy is twisted.

Look, what's happened to you
is unfair.

The Stewie Griffin I know
is a good person.

And I want you to know
that I'm on your side.

Thanks, Brian.
Can you tweet that?

An online ally would be
really helpful right now.

- I know, right?
- Someone publicly standing up

for me could start
changing the conversation.

- Totally.
- Just need one person.

- All it takes is one.
- Could be you.

- Yep.
- You're still not
taking out your phone.

Look, my point is, I am here
for you right now, privately,

and out of earshot
of anyone I know.

You are gonna get
through this, champ.

- Coward.
- And friend.

I'm just gonna go grab
my sun hat,

and then we are out of here.

Rupert! No!

They killed him!

He blew up!

I had an IT band blow up
last year,

still finished the 10K.

♪ Cocky jogger. ♪

A personal best.

Hey, Stewie. You doing okay?

I'm just going through
all of Rupert's stuff.

He had a space suit?

Yes, he wanted
to be an astronaut,

but he got disqualified
because of an astigmatism.

Every night he'd go to the
window and look up at the moon.

His unreachable dream.

Of course, he usually ended up
just staring at a night-light.

He really did have
the vision of a crawfish.

Aw, please don't cry.

I start whining when people cry

because it sounds
like a fire truck.

It's just so unfair.

Rupert and I were finally
in a good place

after the difficulties
of the summer.

Oh, gosh.

Do you know what the worst part
of all this is?

Mary Elizabeth Becca Ryan
has said nothing.

She knows what her fans will do
when they're activated,

and she has been silent.

I know. She should have
to take some responsibility

for the actions of her fans.

- It's like Nelson Mandela said.
- This will be wrong.

"With great power
comes great responsibility."

Yeah, that's Spider-Man.

My point is, if celebrities
don't like something,

they can just not like it.

They don't have
to use their emotions

as a weapon to destroy people.

I'm lucky
I'm a strong-minded person.

Do you have any idea
how hard it is

to sit through
a couples' massage

when your partner's
not even there?

You still went on the retreat?

It was prepaid.

Eating 3,000 bucks isn't
gonna bring Rupert back.

Also, the Liebmans planned
their whole weekend around us,

and it just didn't seem right
to leave them high and dry.

Marty Liebman was on his iPad
the whole time.

Guy's addicted to work.

There you are.

Where have you
been all day, Peter?

You were supposed
to be helping Chris

with his science fair project.

Peter, get out of that cocoon!

It's a chrysalis.

Peter, the whole reason
you got this surgery

in the first place
was so you could spend time

with your son, and all
you've done is ignore him.

Left alone
with only his thoughts

and the smells of his own holes,

the Griffin achieves
a rare moment of accountability.

Stewie, you in there?

Stewie?

Oh, no. He's gonna kill her.

I've got to stop him.

I got to get
to the Walk of Fame.

Walk? Yeah, want
to go for a walk, boy?

I do.
Who wants to go for a walk?

Me! I'll get the leash.

Leash? What am I doing?

So, UV radiation can
effectively control

a cave's harmful microorganisms

while being less toxic
to cave dwellers

such as birds and reptiles.
Thank you.

Wow, very impressive, Patty.
I learned a lot.

I also learned that your parents
are little people.

And that certainly won't be
all I'm thinking about.

Our next student is
Chris Griffin,

presenting Benjamin Franklin's

discovery of electricity.

The year: 1752.

The man: Benjamin Franklin.

He owned two slaves,

a detail that is both important
and not important.

A simple gust of wind
stands between him

and an electric discovery.

That was my glass eye,

but it's still
a tremendous inconvenience.

It's best to leave
these things in.

- I'm so sorry.
- No, no.

I knew the dangers
of this unpaid position.

Well, there's no way
to compete without a kite,

so the least surprising "F"
of the day goes to...

I'll be his kite.

Dad?

I'm sorry I ditched you
this week, Chris.

I got so caught up
in my new body

that I forgot
who I did this for.

But I'm here now
and I want to make it up to you.

Chris Griffin.

Make me your kite.

Can we move on? This is weird.

No, I like weird. Continue.

It's working.

This is why I like weird.

So, as Benjamin Franklin's
slaves did all the hard work

around his house, he flew a kite
with his illegitimate son,

who grew up to fight
for the British against his dad.

And he invented
the rocking chair.

Where's his musical?

I've never seen Quahog
from this high before.

A lot of cars
parked in backyards.

What a dump.

Rob Riggle!

Aah!

Well done, Chris.

Kind of a hit job on one
of our beloved founding fathers,

but he's had it good
for a while.

You win the science fair.

Did you hear that, Dad? I won.

Loud hiss, hot brain.

I couldn't have done it
without you.

Up and down shaky eyes.

Afternoon, citizens.

I said, "Afternoon, citizens."

Afternoon, Mayor West.

That's better.

Today Quahog honors
Mary Elizabeth...

Hell, I'm not saying
the whole thing.

Her hands will be immortalized
with other Quahog greats

on this here sidewalk,
and definitely won't be sold

as molds
to Chinese sex doll companies.

We are mostly done with that.

You can't go through here.

It's only for people
who work for Miss Ryan.

You have to let me through.
I'm Ed Sheeran.

You're not Ed Sheeran.

You're a weird-looking baby
with an English accent.

Oh, my God!

Right this way, Mr. Sheeran.

Hey, MEBR.

Stewie, don't!

Killing her is
not gonna fix this.

Brian? I'm not gonna kill her.

I just want to talk to her.

An actual conversation
would have saved

this whole mess
in the first place.

Who are you guys,
and why are you backstage?

Don't you remember me?

I'm the guy
who insulted you online.

I'm the "oink oink" guy.

Wasn't that, like,
12,000 TikToks ago?

You tell time in TikToks?

Yeah, it's the sound
a clock makes.

What do you want?

You and your fans
ruined my life.

And it all
could have been avoided

if you just talked to me,

instead of to the world
about me.

Not every conflict needs
to be settled in public.

Like Justin Timberlake
could have apologized

to Britney in private

instead of notifying the world
what he was doing.

And shame on all of you

for blindly following
everything she says.

When did celebrity effectively
become the new religion?

Temperamental pop stars
shouldn't be deciding

what we think
and who we like or hate.

Instead of listening
to celebrities,

maybe we should take on
that same enthusiasm

and listen to scientists.

Maybe then the world could
finally be a better place.

Boo! MEBR rules!

Pretzel the baby!

I'm one of her adult fans.

Nice speech, Stewie.

A lot of good it did.

Look at them, they don't care.
They're lost.

Well, you know,
people are desperate

for connection, Stewie.

Sometimes the only place
they can find it is online

in parasocial relationships
with a celebrity.

I just wish mine
didn't cost me Rupert.

About that.

I have someone
I want you to meet.

Rupert!

I stitched him back together.

He's pretty much himself
except for one small thing.

He lost his short-term memory
and has no recollection

of the difficulties
of the summer.

Thanks, Brian.

And if I'm honest,

I was to blame
for said difficulties.

Oh, buddy, I never cared.

Now let's get you out of here
before someone recognizes you.

Next time let's just bring
a hat and glasses.

I'm glad we worked
everything out, Dad.

What do you say we try
to have that catch again?

I would love to, Chris.

Better call
in Boston Dynamics Dad again.

He's upstairs with Mom.

He's upstairs with her a lot.

I guess that's the future.

Can you stop laughing?

A robot is railing my mom.
