Meanwhile, Brian begins dating a woman named Jillian who, much to Stewie's delight, lacks general knowledge and intelligence.
The opening sequence is different from many other episodes in that Peter trips during the theme song and injures a stage dancer, consequently puncturing her lung.
The next day, Peter celebrates getting his fingers reattached by going to The Drunken Clam with Cleveland, Joe and Quagmire.
Peter is behind on his work at the brewery, as he is unable to type due to his hand injury, and Angela threatens to fire him if he fails to catch up, so he asks Lois to help him.
Later at the brewery, after a final attempt to seduce Lois in his office, she gives in and they have sex in front of their co-worker Opie, who runs away screaming.
Peter and Chris take an instant liking to Jillian while Lois and Stewie find her stupidity amusing.
Show creator Seth MacFarlane claims on the DVD commentary track that, unlike most Family Guy episodes, this episode has no cultural references or references to real-world events except for Chris calling Meg "David Koresh" when they play with fireworks and the cutaway of Peter, Joe, Quagmire, and Cleveland spending last Saturday with the Lord of Darkness from Legend.
In a slight improvement over the previous week, the episode was viewed in 9.04 million homes in its original airing, according to Nielsen ratings.
The episode also acquired a 3.2 rating in the 18–49 demographic, slightly being beat by The Simpsons, while still winning over American Dad!.
[7] IGN's Dan Iverson gave a mixed review, commenting that "it is only passable" and that "it did not have that laugh out loud funny" concept.
Iverson added that it's "pretty humorous in this episode was how they made fun of mediocre films.
