It is filled with jokes and spoofs about celeb rities, homosexuality, the handi capped and abortion, not to men tion some pretty outrageous sexual innuendos. Patrick's character Joe plays a pivotal part in the 100th episode. Besides dressing up as Lois to trick Chris into thinking his mother is stiU alive, Joe is also the one who initially suspects Peter of murder ing his wife. While with the boys at The Drunken Clam, Peter openly ad mits to taking out a life insuranc.e policy moments before Lois goes missing. In a fit of investigative work, Joe finds the drawings and machine gun that Stewie had re cently thro-'ivn out, and mistakes them for Peter's. Convinced of Peter's guilt, Joe takes him down to the. station for a little "good cop, developmentally disabled cop." Joe's suspidons are camed all the way to trial, where Peter is al most sentenced to life in prison, but at the last moment, Lois shows up and says it was Stewie instead. The episode was "to be rontin ued," and the second half aired last night - Last night's episode had Stewie escape the courtroom only to tie up his family at home and take Brian hostage, forcing him to do his bid ding at gunpoint This includes telling Joe, "Ha hahahaha, you're in a wheelchair," to which Joe responds, "That's not very nice." And Stewie's retort via Brian is, "neither is your mother's ass." The rest of the episode fol lowed Stewie breaking into the Central Intelligence Agency, tak ing c.ontrol of the world'S power grids and subsequently becoming preside.nt ofthe world. Lois decides she would rath er kill Stewie than allow him to continue in his dictatorship, and a Rambo-style fight to the death ensues including a shootout with automatics, hand-to-hand c.om bat and a knife fight. In the end, it is Peter who takes 'Stewie down, with one in the chest then another in the head. Lucky for all of you fans out there, the entire sc.enario was cre ated in Stewie's simulation unit, "to find out exactly how killing Lois and taking over the world would turn out for me," he says.
