Family Guy Series Recap from Season 14 -Episode 1 “Pilling Them Softly

Starts out with Stewie at pre-school, and Lois comes in to get him. The teacher tells Lois that she is concerned about Stewie’s attention problem. She says that he has been difficult to deal with and on page 2 of 3 in the teacher’s manual it says any student that is difficult to deal with needs to be medicated. Lois is like what that sounds so serious.

Peter and the gang are at the Drunken Clam having drinks, Jerome comes over with some Korean Tacos and Quagmire thinks they are nasty. Joe asks him how he knows so much about food and Quagmire says he is a good cook and invites everyone over for dinner.

Lois and Stewie are at the doctor’s office and the doctor prescribes Stewie some medication for ADHD. Telling Louis about the med while he reads the information off his phone.cacx17_020_02a_0272_hires1

Quagmire has everyone over for dinner, and everyone likes his food. Lois tells him he should have his own show and he should try out for the cooking show at the TV station. Peter tells Quagmire that he’ll help him.

Brian wants to know where Stewie is at so Louis tells him about the meds that Stewie is now on and that he is taking a nap. Brain goes to check on Stewie and finds him ‘totally drugged out” lying on a mountain of pillows and stuffed animals. Stewie calls it his “pillow world”.

At Quahog 5 Carson, the producer of the cooking show, gives Quagmire an audition. He shows off his Cedar Plank Salmon with a maple glaze, slow roasted cherry tomatoes on a bed of greens. Meanwhile Peter is playing around and uses the tomatoes for eyes and the lettuce for hair. The producer loves it, and gives Quagmire the job as long as Peter joins him as his sidekick.

Shooting he fist show Quagmire is talking about the spices, Peter takes a spoonful of cinnamon to do the cinnamon challenge and spits out the cinnamon and starts gagging, finally getting some water to wash it out, Quagmire (looking upset) asks him if he’s ok, Peter says yeah best 2 out of 3 cinnamon.

Back at the Griffin house Stewie is looking spaced out, Brain is saying this is a huge mistake to put Stewie on these pills. Meg tells Brain about the kids at her school that take the pills. She tells him that if you’re lazy and unmotivated it makes you more productive.

That gives Brain an idea and he takes the pills from Stewie telling him he is going to get rid of them. Brain takes the pills and is full of energy and is typing away, Brain says “I can’t stop; the words are just flowing out of me. I have more energy than a man who caught a shirt.”

Taping the next cooking show Quagmire tells everyone that Junior Chef Peter will be putting up tips for cooking. Junior Chef Peter doesn’t put up anything that has to do with cooking. One tip is “If you need to keep your hands warm at a football game, pee in a bottle and hold it.” Getting feed up, with Peter playing around, Quagmire fires Peter. Peter tells Quagmire “that you can’t fire me only Mr. Spacely can fire me”. In walks Mr. Spacely, and says “Griffin your fired!” Peter goes to his dressing room crying Carson, the producer of the show, says he’s going to give Peter his own cooking show.

Stewie goes down into the basement to show Rupert all the water that is in the dehumidifier and it trips him out. Stewie sees Brain in the basement and asks what he is doing. Brain, looking all wierded out, asks Stewie how he likes what be built.. Brain calls it “‘Space Shire Seven’ a mid-evil universe adapted to TV, movies, toys, games and mobile apps. I even wrote a 2000 page book and recorded all the voices for it.”

Back at the TV station Quagmire is trying to do his show but can’t stand the noise coming from the other studio. He goes in and finds Peter doing his own cooking show.

Quagmire gets mad and tells Peter there can only be one cook and someone has to go. Carson suggests a cook off with a secret ingredient just like Iron Chef. Quagmire gets Joe to help him and Peter gets Cleveland to help him. They practice cooking and Quagmire is all serious and Peter is playing around not getting anything done.

Brain still all energized by the ADHD pills wants to go to Hartford to a book fair and see George R. R. Martin. He wants to pitch his book to him. Stewie still all laid back from the ADHD pills says “before we go I should wet my eyes”, slowly closing and opening them.

At the cook off Tom Tucker gets things started. Quagmire throws a head of lettuce up in the air and cuts it in half. Peter says he can do that and throws the head of lettuce up in the air but misses the lettuce and the knife fly’s out his hand and hits Erica off stage.

At the book fair Brain pitches his book Space Shire Seven to George R. R. Martin. Who says that it terrible and tells Brain “all you did was take a lot of pills and mashed together a lot of Sci-Fi stuff and crapped out a 2000 page turd.” Brain was like you can tell; George says yeah all it did was make you write a lot not write well. Brain and Stewie realize that they don’t need the pills, that they are fine without them.

Back at the cook off the secret ingredient is butter and Quagmire freaks out a little saying he’s never cooked with butter. While Peter is cooking away with the butter, Quagmire asks Joe to find a recipe out of his cook book that you can replace oil with butter. Joe throws the book down saying he’s not a good reader. That in turns knocks over a bowl of veggies, which knocks over a wine bottle that turns on the mixer, which throws food out which knocks over another bottle of wine catching the food on fire. Peter has made a table full of food using nothing but butter. He sees how upset Quagmire is cause he knows he going to loss. Peter eats all his food so he doesn’t having anything to show. Time runs out and Peter looses, and the judge says if Quagmire has anything to show he wins, and on his plate is a packet of warm tartar sauce from Joe. Quagmire wins, and Peter tells him he dissevered it. Quagmire touched by what peter has done for their friendship he says lets both go out like Paula Dean did by saying that one word you can’t come back from………

Peter, Quagmire, Cleveland and Joe are at the Drunken Clam and Cleveland saying, “You just couldn’t have quit the show.”

  2. Good article, okay episode. I feel like I’ve seen Peters story used so many times before in that it just felt worn out and the jokes felt like I’ve heard them before. Stewie’s and Brian’s part had some laughs I guess, but we have seen them drugged out before and it wasn’t that funny. It basically felt like a rerun. The second episode though, with Tiny Tom Cruise was actually pretty good. But that’s just one man’s opinion, and I think the only opinion on this post. But that’s alright.

  6. I did not see the episode but the title is making me think back to Lauren Hill & the Fugees remake of Roberta Flack’s, “Killing Me Softly.” Took me a while to really wanna listen to Lauren Hill’s music (was in to alt rock at the time; still am 😉 but “The Miseducation of Lauren Hill,” dating myself here, but it was really was an awesome CD Still is.

    • And of course now this has me listening to “The Miseducation of Lauren Hill” album on YouTube right now. Not the same as listening to the original CD, and singing along with the words written on the CD inserts but oh well thats technology. 😉

    • Ill admit it, I am 41, and when that came out I had already given up on MTV, I’ve learned to appreciate so many different styles as I grew, but was always instrument driven, on the other hand Lauren was a great vocalist, and I’d bet a dollar for a donut that’s the inspiration for the title!!

      • 41? You’re still a youngster! So you probably don’t remember Roberta Flack’s 1973 monster hit “Killing Me Softly with His Song”.

        • Naw, was spawned in 74, remember seeing grandad n pals playing bluegrass on Fridays and Saturday night, first song I heard on the radio at 3 yrs old was Johnny B Goode, I loved it, then my aunts and uncles were always around listening to Elvis, country, Motown, rock like deep purple,three dog night,then to Ac/dc and I could go on and on! Haha, as I started playing instruments it exploded from classical to shag music, blues, opera, anything I can find the groove to!!

        • Just checked it out tho, to me feels more soulful than the remake, the instruments give it something to flow with, First time I ever saw your face was next, Bridge over Troubled waters, Elvis did that too?, yes cause he was a fan of the gospels, makes sense now, thanks for the heads up in this, I got some exploring to do!
