Wasted Talent

Meanwhile, Peter drinks even more Pawtucket Patriot beers than usual in an attempt to find a hidden silver scroll and win a tour of the brewery.

Tom Tucker later admits he made up the story about the last scroll being found and then puts a carnivorous earwig in his ear to make up for it.

Pawtucket Pat (Michael McKean) is seemingly killed on his front walkway, but the killer turns out to be Cheech Marin, hired to pull off a gag.

Lois decides to enter Peter as her student in the piano competition and keeps him in a state of constant inebriation.

Lois has to turn him around to face the piano, then move him over a couple of inches to play in the correct key.

During the credits, Stewie (in the live-action scene) is at the roadside, asking for hitchhiking but passing-by drivers ignore him (while "Lonely Man" is still playing).

The episode's storyline was written by Dave Collard and Ken Goin, and the episode's teleplay was written by series regulars Mike Barker and Matt Weitzman, and directed by series regular Bert Ring before the conclusion of the second production season.
