Episode Recap: Boys Do Cry
Friday, August 15th, 2008Season 5, Episode 15: Boys Do Cry
Recap: The family starts going to church when Lois gets a job as an organist, but Stewie gets sick off of Communion wine, which convinces the congregation that he’s possessed. The Griffins then move to Texas, where Peter becomes a cowboy, Stewie enters the “Little Miss Texas” pageant and Chris and Meg sneak into President Bush’s ranch.
My take:
A truly great episode!
The Griffins move to Texas! They’re all backward and politically stubborn as a mule. Shouldn’t they have used stubborn as an Elephant.
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.
Recap: Peter’s boss, Mr. Weed, dies during a dinner with the Griffin family, and the toy factory is demolished as a result. Now unemployed, and failing to find himself other jobs, Peter decides to live his dream of being a Renaissance fair jouster.
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.
Recap: Lois volunteers to teach sex-ed class after discovering Chris has been getting bad information on sex, though she is soon replaced by a Church spokesman. Meanwhile, Meg and her new boyfriend take an abstinence pledge but still manage to find a loophole, and Stewie goes to great lengths to destroy the Tooth Fairy.
