Long John Peter

Written by Wellesley Wild and directed by Dominic Polcino, "Long John Peter" served as the final episode of the season, which was cut short in early May 2008 due to creator Seth MacFarlane's participation in the 2007–2008 Writers Guild of America strike.

Actress Amanda Bynes guest-starred as Anna, and Bryan Cranston and Mae Whitman made minor appearances in the episode.

Peter begins taking the pirate act to the extreme, even robbing a British man's car filled with sugarcane, tobacco, and spices.

Meanwhile, at the vet where Dr. Jewish breaks the bad news about Peter's dead parrot, Chris and Anna hook up and begin dating.

Peter tells him that women like bad boys, so Chris calls Anna a "bitch" on their next date and throws her movie ticket on the ground, thinking that will improve the relationship.

After hearing what happened, Lois yells at Peter for ruining their son's relationship, but he fails to comfort Chris when he gives him a bullfrog he caught, which died when he poked holes on its back "so it could breathe".

[1] In addition to Bynes and the regular cast, actor Bryan Cranston and actress Mae Whitman guest starred in the episode.

When Chris sees Anna for the first time, he starts singing the song "Crazy for You", which was originally performed by Madonna in the film Vision Quest (1985).

Ahsan Haque of IGN wrote that "Long John Peter" was "thoroughly entertaining from start to finish, and is a great way to end this short season on a high note."
