Plot Summary
The peace of Quahog is disrupted when the leaves start turning fall colors and "leafers" from New York invade town. When the family drives to church, the kids start arguing. Stewie tries to control them, but Lois tells them to stop, or else they wouldn't get to go to McDonald's after church. Peter says that they would still be able to go to McDonald's, but wouldn't let Chris supersize his french fries or let Meg blow on her apple pie to cool it down.
Bonnie invites Lois to a Tae Jitsu class where Lois quickly advances to black belt. After getting into a fight with a leafer which is broken up by Lois knocking him out with a single punch, Peter exploits Lois' fighting abilities to drive the leafers back to New York. This gets Lois aggressive enough to challenge and successfully beat up her teacher. Her victory over her teacher makes her so assertive she immediately kisses Peter and then grabs him by the crotch, to which she claims ownership.
That night, Lois rapes Peter, who is too frightened to object to Brian the next morning and eats graham crackers belonging to Stewie. Seeing this, Stewie promptly strikes Peter with a baseball bat. Seeing this, Lois blames herself for serving as a bad role model, and decides to rid the family of anger. Stewie then goes to show he caught her speech on tape, but instead played him doing a radio show.
Family therapy fails to rid Stewie of his rage issues, and so does an attempt by Brian to convince them they've taken mood elevating drugs, when he really gave them placebos. The family ends up in an all-out brawl to get it out of their system. They start to realize how ridiculous the fighting is after Peter gets his head stuck in a picture of a horse's rear end, but when Stewie smashes Lois' head with a chair, they all resume fighting each other.
Finally exhausted, and showing visible wear and bruises, they eventually blame the violence on TV. Peter wonders how come "the government (couldn't) step in and tell us what we can and can't watch". He then "shame(s) on the network (FOX) that puts this junk on the air", to which Lois nervously warns him not to badmouth the network despite that. Peter doesn't seem afraid, not thinking their budget could be cut. He says he's going into the kitchen for a beer. He then exits in a very slow-transition-of-frame motion.

Famous quotes containing the words plot and/or summary:
“James’s great gift, of course, was his ability to tell a plot in shimmering detail with such delicacy of treatment and such fine aloofness—that is, reluctance to engage in any direct grappling with what, in the play or story, had actually “taken place”Mthat his listeners often did not, in the end, know what had, to put it in another way, “gone on.””
—James Thurber (1894–1961)
“Product of a myriad various minds and contending tongues, compact of obscure and minute association, a language has its own abundant and often recondite laws, in the habitual and summary recognition of which scholarship consists.”
—Walter Pater (1839–1894)
