445"A Little Fright Music"Mike KimDanny SmithOctober 6, 2025 (2025-10-06)PACX19N/A
While standing in line for face painting at the pumpkin patch, Stewie and Brian note the lack of original Halloween songs on the radio, save for "Monster Mash" and decide to write one themselves. They initially decide on a rap before switching to a Halloween spoof of "We Didn't Start the Fire", though Stewie gets more wrapped up in living like a songwriter as opposed to getting the song done, prompting Brian to walk out on him. Meanwhile, Chris is bummed after Lois declares him too old to trick-or-treat and forces him to hand out candy at home. He and Peter sneak off to trick-or-treat outside of town while lying to Lois about being at the game. Bonnie and Donna reveal that their husbands told them the same lie, clueing Lois in on what's happening. The guys are accosted by masked killers and chased into a cabin where they're held hostage. When the guys express guilt over lying to their wives, the masked killers reveal themselves to be Lois, Donna, and Bonnie, having pranked them as payback. As they reconcile, Lois admits that her Halloween spirit was rekindled due to the act of setting up the prank. In the final scene, Stewie and Brian perform the spooky Halloween song they wrote.
446"Disney's Hulu's Family Guy's Hallmark Channel's Lifetime's Familiar Holiday Movie"Steve RobertsonMark HentemannNovember 28, 2025 (2025-11-28)PACX20N/A
Spoofing Hallmark Channel's Christmas movies with the intro sang by Lainey Wilson, Lois is a hardworking associate at Big Pie in Cityopolis who has no time for relationships. When her boss, Carter, is upset about coming second in annual pie rankings, he orders Lois to steal the secret recipe from Aunt Maude's Pies in the small town of Townsville. Lois agrees, knowing it could get her the CEO position, but is sidetracked after falling for the local mechanic, Peter, who also owns Aunt Maude's. The two fall in love over the course of one day despite Peter already dating Bonnie, but Peter breaks up with Lois after discovering her plan. Lois is told by Andie MacDowell that her career isn't as important as she thinks and joins Townsville's Christmas pageant in Bonnie's place. She and Peter reconcile, though Lois is called back to Cityopolis to accept the CEO position after Carter is fired. She resigns soon after due to missing Peter and steps down to be with him, but ends up getting paralyzed on her way out and Peter rejects her.
