Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaJoe Swanson, a Quahog police officer, tells Quagmire the police cannot arrest Jeff for beating his girlfriend Brenda (Quagmire's sister) unless she files a formal complaint. In reality, Rhode Island law mandates police make an arrest in a domestic assault case. The arrest, based on probable cause, is made on behalf of the state; and victim cooperation, although hoped for, is not required. If the officer has probable cause to believe a domestic assault has occurred, the officer must make an arrest.
- GoofsWhen Quagmire gets in the car and hits the gas, his tires squeal even though the car is on a dirt road, not asphalt.

Peter Griffin: Death to America! And Butter Sauce! Don't boil me! I'm still alive! Iraq Lobster! Iraq Lobster! Iraq Lobster!

Featured review
No Tact
There's ways to tactfully handle tough or inherently grim subjects, Family Guy completely misses the mark. As someone whose experienced domestic violence myself, this episode just gives terrible flashbacks to instances when I was being abused. The fact that thus shows tries to make jokes out of Brenda being physically beaten by her boyfriend is NOT OK. It is currently estimated that 50-60% of women murdered were killed by their romantic partner.
Domestic violence is a very real, serious issue. It's estimated that a minimum of 25-33% of women and 14% men will experience domestic violence at some point in their life. Comedy is supposed to make you laugh, not give you flashbacks to a traumatizing point in your life.
