Chapter 3 - Brian's Suggestion


Later that day, back in the Griffin house, Brian explained to Lois about Stewie's condition.

"Well, Brian," Lois began, "if Stewie's about to have red hair and freckles, I see nothing wrong with that. After all, he did get the red hair gene from me."

"Told ya'," Brian said to Stewie.

"However, I feel as if Stewie was about to have a little brother or sister," Lois continued, recalling the events of "Emission Impossible". "And I bet they would have gotten the red hair from me."

"Yeah, it could be," Brian replied. "But what I don't understand is why Peter and the gang decided to go to Korea. Quagmire texted me that he was."

"It's because he wanted to watch the last episode of that crappy soap opera he was in."

Lois then got up from the couch and went upstairs, leaving Brian and Stewie alone.

"Lois is right, Brian," Stewie shrugged. "Bertram, though we had a global conquest rivalry, was my younger brother, though his sperm was donated. I wish I could tell him about my worry, but I murdered him in Renaissance-era Italy."

Cutaway: In a live-action scene, New-York-born actor Tony Sirico was inside his living room, sitting on the couch and watching TV.

"Thanks for not making fun of my heritage this time, Stewie," Tony said. "I do remember voicing the dog that temporarily replaced your best friend after he kicked the bucket for a few weeks, and it's such a shame he don't remember you now."

Back in the living room.

"Kicked the bucket?" Stewie repeated, confused. "Brian, did something happen some time ago?"

"Like I said, I'll tell you about it sometime," Brian replied. "But getting back to the subject on Bertram, maybe you could go back in time with your time machine, to a time where you didn't murder him, so that maybe you can."

"Hmmm, maybe you're right," Stewie said, thinking about it. "After all, I don't want to alter the past this time. I mean, more than two years ago it was a disaster."
