Plot
Brian becomes ill and is taken to the vet. His problem is determined to be due to his drinking and he is given medicine. When Peter tries to give Brian his medicine which turns out to be a suppository, Brian draws the line and refuses, Peter tries to at first out smart him, and then use force which results in Peter being bitten.
Peter's fear of Brian causes him to become insufferable, until his cowering forces Lois to have Brian sent to obedience school as punishment. It is run like a boot camp and Brian is soon brought to heel after the drill instructor breaks him. Brian returns home completely submissive, to everyone's surprise. When Brian brings home a drunken Peter, his proposed stunt of peeing in Meg's bed horrifies Brian with the thought of being a bad dog, leaving Peter to drunkenly realize that he misses his old friend.
The next day, Peter takes his observations to Lois who dismisses his concerns since he was bitten. This gives Peter the idea to stick his finger in Brian's rectum which causes him to bite, returning him to his normal self. They agree to let things return to normal as they agree to go pee in Meg's bed together.
Meanwhile, Neil Goldman cozies up to Chris, despite the fact that Neil is a social outcast and that Chris is not. Neil comes over to visit and gets invited to help Meg with her homework. The next day, Chris finds that Neil is still hanging out with Meg instead of him and confronts him, where he admits that it was his plan all along, leaving Chris feeling heartbroken. Later that night, Neil and Meg go to see a movie. When they start to kiss, Meg's face transforms into an angry Chris, leaving Neil feeling guilty. He runs to Chris' bedroom where he uses a boombox to wake him. Neil pleads to be friends with Chris again as Meg chews him out for dropping her when she gave him a chance. Chris agrees to be his friend again.
Reception
The episode received an audience of 3.30 million, making it the second most watched show on Fox that night after The Last Man on Earth.[2]
