What's Been Going On Within Two Months

Chapter 2 - The Sweet Smell of Revival
Later that day, Brian went up to Stewie's room to check on him. The baby in question was busy on his computer, with a pad that looked like the time machine return pad, which he destroyed along with the machine itself the night before the accident.
"Hey, Brian," the infant said. "If you want to know the progress for the materialization program, then it's going smoothly."
"Oh, really?" Brian said. "I can hardly wait until I feel the sweet sensation of skin again, since I only have the senses of sight and sound."
"Oh, that reminds me," Stewie said. "I've developed a new tool for you to use. Come into my lab, and I'll install the tool."
"What is this new tool?" Brian asked, following the baby.
"You'll find out soon enough," answered Stewie as he triggered the baseball bat in the toy box that opened his laboratory.
As the two walked around the lab, Brian saw what appeared to be a ray gun lying on a table.
"What is that thing?" Brian asked, pointing to the gun.
"I'll tell you about it later, B-rye," Stewie answered. "Come on, we don't have much time."
As the two continued their way, Stewie pressed a button on his remote and an operating table ascended from the floor.
"Get on the table, Brian," Stewie ordered.
With that, Brian laid on the table.
"Sleep mode," Stewie continued.
Brian closed his eyes and powered down before Stewie pulled out a screwdriver.
"Wake mode," Stewie's voice echoed.
It has been half an hour, and Brian opened his eyes, powering back up.
"What did you do?" Brian asked. "What tool did you give me?"
Stewie sprayed some air freshener and requested, "Sniff, Brian."
Brian did so, and was amazed.
"Oh, wow," he said. "I can smell again. Did you install a sniffer in my nose?"
"Yes, Brian," Stewie answered. "Now you only have three senses, with smelling now being one of them."
"Oh, wonderful," Brian said, relieved. "I can smell flowers again."
"Yes, but don't overuse it," Stewie replied, "I don't want the tool to short-circuit. And by the way, here you go." He gave Brian the ray gun and continued, "Use this gun after you go to the dump and sniff around for anything that has been in for five years and smells like wet hair and rotting flesh."
"Why would I need to do that?" Brian asked.
"Trust me," Stewie answered. "And use your neuralyzer just in case."
"Okay," Brian replied.
As Stewie requested, Brian went to the dump and found a garbage bag. He sniffed and turned his head in disgust.
"Oh!" he said, repulsed. "This is the right one all right."
With that, he put the bag down and aimed the ray gun at it, pressing the trigger button. Afterwards, the bag started glowing orange and exploded, producing a cloud of smoke. Brian shielded his eyes. Long silence. After which, Brian heard the sound of someone coughing. He uncovered his eyes and gasped in shock and surprise.
"Oh, my God," he said. "New Brian?"
The gray Border Collie, who was still coughing, had just been resurrected, and was now soiled with filth. His red bandana was off and nowhere to be found. He stopped coughing and saw Brian.
"Brian?" New Brian said. "Is that you?"
"Yes," Brian answered.
New Brian then lowered his eyebrows and started to get serious. "Where is he?!" he asked. "Where's that murderous infantile psychopath?!"
"You mean Stewie?" Brian asked.
"Yeah," New Brian answered. "That little bastard murdered me, and all because I raped his Teddy bear, Rupert! I'm going to make him pay for what he did to me." With that, he clenched a fist.
"Neuralyze five seasons and one and a third episodes," Brian said aloud, putting his sunglasses on and showed his right index finger. A flash of white light from the finger put New Brian in a daze.
"Oh, what happened?" New Brian said, wide-eyed before he shook his head. He started to notice where he was. "Where am I? Last thing I remember is being at the Griffin house watching the compilation video after you left."
Cutaway: New Brian put in a video tape in the VCR in the living room.
"Hey, everybody," he said, addressing himself to the Griffins sans Brian. "Let's watch this tape." The video started showing a little person sitting. "Okay, now there's the midget just sitting there. Now watch the left side of the screen."
New Brian made his way to the couch to watch more of the video.
"I'm in a bad mood," Bill Cosby's voice said from the video, "and I'm gonna take it out on you."
"Oh, my God," Lois said when the sounds of punches being landed were heard. "Well, he's obviously drunk."
"Ow!" the midget's voice said. "You're hurting me!"
"About which I do not care very much," Cosby's voice said before another punch landed.
Back to the dump.
"And the next thing I know," New Brian continued, "I wind up here and filthy, and without my bandana. Why is that?"
"I'll explain it to you after I shower you," Brian said.
