Road to India (Family Guy)

Brian's computer freezes up and he calls technical support for assistance, where he becomes attracted to an employee named Padma and begins telling her lies to impress her.

Padma unexpectedly calls off the marriage by expressing her love for Brian, which makes her family upset, especially her father who had already paid a large dowry.

Brian is furious at being rejected after travelling such a long distance for her, but she tells him that she will always love him, because by preventing her marriage he saved her from a lifetime of unhappiness.

Peter's winning goes to his head, and he gets competitive while wearing clothing that makes him look high and mighty, eventually becoming the new Bingo Captain, much to Joe's dismay.
