Episode Recap: Mr. Griffin Goes to Washington
Friday, August 15th, 2008Season 3, Episode 3: Mr. Griffin Goes to Washington
Recap: The toy factory at which Peter works is taken over by a cigarette company who hires Peter as the new president. He is then sent to Washington, D.C. as a lobbyist so they can create toys that encourage kids to smoke, and the entire family can’t help but enjoy the perks that come with the job.
My take:
You need to be in the right mood to watch this episode. It’s good but you need to be in the right mood. There are two themes - killing strippers and smoking.
Recap: Peter ends up beating up a bully who’s been harassing Chris, soon realizing that bullying is fun and ending up becoming a bully himself until Chris stands up to him. Meanwhile, Stewie becomes obsessed with getting a tan, though he ends up getting a nasty sunburn and fears he’s developed skin cancer.
Recap: Brian accidentally sells Stewie’s teddy bear, Rupert, at a garage sale. This, of course, upsets Stewie, so Brian takes him on a cross-country road trip to Aspen, Colorado, to find him, where Stewie challenges the culprit to a ski-off to get him back. Meanwhile, Peter’s licence is suspended and Meg becomes his personal chauffer.
