The next morning at breakfast, Lois asked Meg, "Hey Meg, have ya discovered any more secret countries around the house lately?"
She and Peter started laughing their heads off. "Ya know, I think I found an entrance to a magical world in my bathroom this mornin'," Peter said. "It's in the toilet. Wanna come stick your head down it an' see for yourself?"
Meg gave Peter and Lois a dirty look. She got up from the table and walked out of the room without even bothering to finish her meal.
"Hey, wait, you didn't eat your egg!" Chris yelled after her. "That poor chicken gave his life for nothing!"
Brian was staring at Meg's empty chair. "Guys, I think maybe we're being a little too hard on her."
"Oh, get off your soap box, Brian," said Lois. "She's the one who's makin' up ridiculous stories. Just like Pee-tah when he tries to get out of goin' to the dentist."
FLASHBACK
Peter is talking to his dentist on the phone.
PETER: Hello, doc? Yeah, I won't be able to make my appointment today. I broke both my feet and can't walk to your office.
DENTIST: Can't you just drive there?
PETER: Um… my car won't start.
DENTIST: Take a cab.
PETER: I don't have any money.
DENTIST: I'll pay for it myself.
PETER: Yeah… uh… the thing is, I can't come to my checkup today because I have to go to a funeral.
DENTIST: Oh, really? Who died?
PETER: Um… my mom.
DENTIST: But you canceled your last checkup six months ago because you told me your mother died then.
PETER: Heh-heh, oh, that's right. I got mixed up. It wasn't my mom who died this time, it was my dad.
DENTIST: You can't remember which of your own family members are alive?
PETER: It's hard to keep track of your parents when you're trainin' for a marathon!
DENTIST: On two broken feet?
PETER: I drive the course.
DENTIST: Your car won't start!
PETER: I take a cab.
DENTIST: You've got no money!
Peter is silent for a long moment.
PETER: Mom died again!
He quickly slams the receiver down.
END OF FLASHBACK
Later that day, Stewie brought Brian down to the laundry room. "What are we doing down here?" Brian asked.
Stewie said, "I'm just goin' to see if Meg's story about Narnia is true."
Brian said, "But we already looked in the washing machine, and there was nothing there!"
"Maybe the entrance to Narnia appears and vanishes at odd intervals," Stewie posited.
This was too much for Brian to wrap his head around. "If things are there, they're there all the time, aren't they?"
"Not necessarily," said Stewie. "Haven't you ever noticed socks and things disappearing in the wash? Maybe this is where they go."
He flung the door of the machine open wide.
Unfortunately, Lois had just put a load of clothes in there, and when Stewie opened the door, he and Brian got sprayed with water.
Stewie crawled inside the machine and started tossing the wet clothes out onto the basement floor. Brian was shivering. His fur was all wet. "Stewie, you're making a mess!"
"Relax, Bri. We'll put these clothes back in there when we're done with the experiment, and Lois will never know."
Suddenly, Stewie lost his balance and stumbled against the wall of the machine. The next moment, he disappeared, right in front of Brian's eyes!
"Stewie!" Brian cried. Where could he have gone? Could it all be true? Was Narnia real?
Brian leaned into the washing machine himself. His feet slipped on the wet floor. Next thing Brian knew, he was falling through the air.
He landed in a snowbank.
"So glad you could join me, Brian," said a familiar voice.
Brian looked up and saw Stewie standing over him. He climbed to his feet. "Holy crap," he said. "Meg was right."
