|ShortSummary = On [[Halloween]] night, Quagmire meets a woman named Carrie taking her niece trick or treating and the two hit it off. On a subsequent date, she reveals that she is an avid dog lover. Quagmire is shocked at this, but lies about loving dogs as well in order to keep the relationship going, and asks Brian to pose as his dog. Brian agrees, but only so he can see the relationship fail; he ups the ante by making Carrie think Quagmire proposed, and she accepts. Once she moves in, Quagmire is horrified at how her many dogs are ruining his life and he reaches his wits' end at the engagement party as a party guest ([[Haley Tju]]) compliments the dogs. After getting trampled by her dogs due to him saying walk in his engagement speech, he reveals that he actually hates dogs and that he recruited Brian to help out. Carrie breaks up with him, not because of his tastes, but because he lied to her. Quagmire admits that Brian was right, but vows revenge on him for ruining the relationship. Meanwhile, Stewie discovers that half of his Halloween candy was stolen, and Chris tells him it was Peter who did the same to Chris when he was young and offers to help Stewie. Chris advises his brother to hide it in the backyard, but Stewie later finds that the rest of his candy was stolen and expresses great grief. Unbeknownst to him, Chris was working with Peter to rob Stewie.

In the final scene, Seamus shows Brian his [[screenplay]] for ''Ocean's 1'' that is about 430 pages long as Brian screams Quagmire's name. After explaining to the viewers that Hollywood screenplays would wrap up around 110 pages with the exception of comedies that have their screenplays in the 90s, Mayor Wild West on the back of his horse does a PSA for people to undergo a [[colonoscopy]].

|ShortSummary = Peter gives Chris some 1980s movies so he can learn how to impress a girl. When this gets Chris in trouble upon him being brought home by Joe, Peter is chastised for referencing his favorite decade, as a lot of the values espoused by its entertainment have not aged well. Undeterred, Peter attempts to prove to the family the 80s are still good, but is convinced otherwise after killing the [[Caddyshack]] gopher. Peter then tries to find other decades to explore, much to Lois' consternation. Peter is heartbroken at the fact that the 80s are no longer good and tries to commit suicide, but the Ghost of [[John Hughes (filmmaker)|John Hughes]] tells him the 80s were simply a time of trying new things and convinces Peter to move on. Meanwhile, Stewie is sick of Doug upstaging him, so he volunteers to retrieve a frisbee that landed at the top of the jungle gym, which Doug says his a death trap to kids. The next day, Stewie is prepared to climb, but is surprised when Doug plans to do it as well. The two race to the top, and although Stewie wins, his foot gets stuck. Doug offers to help him out, and the two have a heart-to-heart about their rivalry. Stewie gives Doug the frisbee, but learns their bonding was a ploy to get the frisbee and hog the glory, but Stewie frees himself and catches up. They both fall to the ground, but realize they were not as high up as they thought. They share the credit for retrieving the frisbee, only to find that the kids who watched them climb the jungle gym have all left and replaced with other kids who say what they did meant nothing to them. The boys assure they are now friends and a movie is soon made about their adventure as Stewie sees the trailer.

While he's about to leave, he decides to give it a chance after seeing that [[Chris Hemsworth]] has been cast as his thought bubble girlfriend.

|ShortSummary = Peter is put in charge of extravagant monthly celebrations at the brewery in order to celebrate office birthdays including the musical number "June is Busting Out All Over" with [[Leslie Uggams]], but these are soon quelled by the new manager Preston Lloyd ([[Peter Macon]]) who favors productivity above all else. Peter retaliates by throwing [[speakeasy]]-type secret parties inside an overlooked conference room. During one celebration, he borrows [[Marty McFly]]'s amp and the noise gives him away due to it being near Preston's office where the sound knocks everything off his wall. This causes Preston to fire him. When Peter shows up at the office to collect his belongings, Opie, Stella, and the other workers show solidarity with him. This convinces Preston to rehire him, figuring that the employees might be more willing to work if they get to party each month. Meanwhile, Stewie pulls a prank on Doug and gives him a nosebleed, earning him his third strike and thus a one-day detention at the elementary school which Miss Tammy takes him to across the street. He views this as actual prison and comes out a ruffian, taking his anger out on his family. He tortures Chris by forcing him to watch a kiddie cartoon and threatens Rupert over not visiting him during detention. Lois manages to calm him down with a bubble bath, although he still has a back tattoo from the experience much to Brian's surprise.

However, Opie, Stella, and the other workers show solidarity with him. This convinces Preston to rehire him, figuring that the employees might be more willing to work if they get to party each month. After Peter is rehired, his house is visited by Leslie Uggams who informs him about the correct lyrics to "June is Busting Out All Over". The Griffins and Leslie Uggams then sing the song with Stewie informing the viewers that it came from ''[[Carousel (musical)|Carousel]]'' which anybody's grandfather was dragged to and had to "get married to touch boob".
