Play it Again, Brian is the twenty-first episode of season six of Family Guy. It is the one hundred and thirty-third episode, overall.

Synopsis[]

The relationship between Peter, Lois and Brian is tested.

Plot[]

Peter and Lois are having marital difficulties, as Peter would much rather spend time with his friends than with his wife. Brian announces that he has won an award for an essay he wrote and has been invited to Martha's Vineyard to receive it, and offers to take them with him on vacation to ease the anxiety. Peter and Lois agree, and when the three arrive at their fancy hotel, Peter immediately begins enjoying himself. As such, he fails to arrive on time for the party at which Brian receives his award. Brian reads an excerpt from his poem, which is about Lois, and touches her heart. When Peter does arrive, he is completely intoxicated and consequently chastised by Lois.

The next morning, Lois decides to put Peter's misbehavior behind her, but agrees to spend the day with Brian as Peter has already made plans for himself. Toward the end of the day, Lois is dismayed to find that Peter is gone yet again, as he has soiled himself from laughing so hard watching Three's Company so she decides to spend the evening with Brian. As Brian makes preparations, he begins experiencing fantasies of himself kissing Lois and declaring his passion for her. That evening, Brian loses his self-restraint and attempts to make a pass at her aggressively; Lois is greatly troubled by this, possibly not least by her own feelings, so she forces him out of the room.

As Brian mulls over the severity of his own actions, even calling himself a rapist, and asking Stewie for help, Lois remains concerned for both Peter and Brian. The next morning, Lois tells Peter about what happened, and Peter confronts Brian at the hotel bar. Brian says that Peter is not good enough for Lois; Peter counters by saying Brian has never had a long-term relationship with any woman he has ever been with. Their argument quickly escalates to violence, but things settle down as they agree to resolve this problem another way. Brian ultimately promises never to let Lois come between their friendship ever again, and formally apologizes to Lois for his actions and she forgives him as well, though she does admit that sometimes she feels the same way Brian does about her. Nevertheless, she chooses to remain faithful to Peter. But in the end, Peter, despite forgiving him, says they need time apart, putting an end to their friendship.

Back at home, since no one else was available, Peter and Lois have decided to ask Herbert to look after Meg, Chris and Stewie while they are away. Herbert makes several sexual remarks to Chris as he always does. Herbert surprises the children by announcing it is bath day, not for the children but for Herbert himself. He is disappointed when Meg bathes him rather than Chris. That night, after Herbert reads Chris "Peter and the Wolf" as a bedtime story, Chris finally asks him, "Are you a pedophile?"

Lois: Come on, Peter! We're gonna be late for lunch with Mom and Dad...
[turns around to find Peter dressed in fishing gear]
Peter: Oh...right.
Lois: You didn't forget, did you?
Peter: No, no, I didn't forget. Uh, let me just change out of this fishing gear. [we see from the window Peter running outside and knocking on Cleveland's door]
Cleveland: Hey Peter, what's up?
Peter: [panicked] Come on, come on! We gotta go now! We gotta go now! Come on! Joe! Joe! Quagmire! Come on, go, go, go, go, go! [Quagmire runs out with fishing gear as Joe backs his truck up] Pull the car around! Come on, let's go! [they leave, the phone rings and Lois answers it]
Lois: Hello?
Peter: Lois? This is Peter. I'm afraid that on my way to the bedroom to change, I took ill. You'd best go to lunch without me.
Lois: Why do I hear an engine?
Peter: Uh, because my stomach is rumbling in a way that sounds like the engine of Joe's fishing truck.
Lois: Peter, are you lying?
Peter: Oh, now she's a doctor, guys!
Quagmire: Hi, Lois!
Peter: Quagmire says "Hi."
Lois: Damn it, Peter, you're going fishing, aren't you? You promised me you'd come to lunch with my parents today!
Peter: Well, Lois, until we get an appointment secretary, things like this are gonna continue to fall through the cracks.
Lois: Ugh, my parents are not gonna like this, Peter! You know, they're still angry at how you behaved at our wedding.
[Cutaway to Pewterschmidt-Griffin Wedding]
Minister: You may now kiss the bride.
Peter: Kiss her? I am gonna destroy her!
[at the table with Chris]
Chris: Mom, are you still mad at Dad about yesterday?
Lois: Well, sort of. I mean, we planned that lunch two weeks ago. But he promised he'd go with me to put flowers on my grandmother's grave this afternoon, so I guess it's all right. Peter, are you ready... [Lois gets up and turns around to find Peter dressed in diving gear]
Peter: Oh...right.
[in bed at night]
Brian: So, uh, a lot of tension with Peter lately, huh?
Lois: [sighs] That's an understatement, Brian. He's been incredibly thoughtless lately; Even more so than usual. But tonight is our sex night, and a little physical release will do us both some good. Peter, are you re... OH, COME ON! [she turns to find Peter dressed in a beekeeper suit]
Peter: Lois, I know it's late, but me and the guys were going beekeeping.
[Herbert is babysitting Meg, Chris, and Stewie]
Herbert: All right, children. Your mammy and pappy asked me to look after you for the next couple of days, so I wanna lay down a few ground rules. No cussin', clean your plates, and only a half hour of radio, and then it's off to bed.
Chris: Well, that sucks!
Herbert: And don't you mouth off to me, or I'm gonna slap you right in your penis.
Meg: No offense, Mr. Herbert, but I'm a 17-year-old girl, and I don't need you here.
Herbert: Well, no offense to you, Meg, but you're a 17-year-old girl, and I don't need you here.
[Brian reads his essay]
Brian: She was Grace, in name and in essence. To those she loved, she exuded strength, life, laughter and light, and to me, also sorrow for circumstance that had bound her to my best friend through whom we met in the warmth and serenity of her home. Nothing from the first day I saw her and no one that has happened to me since, has ever been as frightening and as confusing. For no person I've ever known has ever done more to make me feel more sure, more insecure, more important and less significant.
Brian: Ah, this is gonna be great; a whole evening with Lois! We're gonna have such a fun time. [in his imagination] Lois, my darling! [kisses her]
[back to present]
Brian: Couple of steaks, some wine, maybe a couple of sundaes.... [in his imagination, again] Lois, my darling! [kisses her]
[back to present, again]
Brian: ....a little music, some candlelight. [in his imagination, again] Lois, my darling! [kisses her]
[back to present, again, this time, Brian stops]
Brian: Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa! What am I doing?! This is Lois, Peter's wife! How could I think about trying anything?!
[his cell phone rings]
Brian: Hello?
Stewie: Hey, Brian, it's me. I got a question for you. Herbert and I are playing Scattergories. Would you count NyQuil as a beverage?
Brian: Um....
Stewie: No, right?
Brian: No.
Stewie: Yeah, not gonna fly, old man! Thanks, Brian.
Herbert: Damnit, I'm missing Boy Meets World for this?!
Brian: ...I did a bad thing, and I don't know what to do about it. I feel like I'm losing my mind.
Stewie: Ugh, that's how I felt at that Grateful Dead show.
[Cutaway to Stewie standing in the middle of a crowd of hippies. His pupils are ridiculously dilated]
Stewie: [holding up a tie-dyed T-shirt] Does anyone wanna buy my shirt? ...I'll trade you my shirt for a grilled cheese!
Stewie: So what happened, sport? Come on. Talk to your pal, Stewie.
Brian: Alright but only because I gotta tell somebody ... I pretty much just threw myself at Lois.
Stewie: So you finally did it, huh? Well look, Brian, as your friend I...I should tell you that that vagina is just ground zero, man. I mean, I...I just wrecked that thing on the way out. And just to be a jerk, I carved "Brooks Was Here" on the wall. D...Did you see that? Did you see "Brooks Was Here"?
Brian: We didn't have sex.
Stewie: Of course with Chris coming out before me, I pretty much just walked outta there. Didn't even have to stoop over. There was even room to twirl a cane as I strolled.
Brian: You're exaggerating.
Stewie: Only a little bit! That's the messed up thing!
Peter: Mornin', Lois.
Lois: Peter, there you are! Were you down at that hotel bar all night again?
Peter: I was, Lois, and you know who's staying at this hotel? Nathan Lane. We got wasted at the bar and he ended up asking me to marry him, so I convinced this minister to do the job, but the joke's on Nathan Lane 'cause gay people can't get married!
Lois: They can in this state, Peter.
Peter: Oh. Well, in that case, we're registered at Filene's.
Peter: I am so glad Brian brought us out here, Lois. He's a real pal, you know that?
Lois: Well, it's actually Brian I need to talk to you about.
Peter: Boy, he's a hell of a guy, isn't he? The one guy I know I can trust.
Lois: Brian tried to have sex with me.
Peter: Was he bigger than me?
Herbert: [reading Peter and the Wolf to Chris as a bedtime story] "... and they told Peter to stay away from the wolf. But he didn't listen to them..." 'Cause he's his own man. And he knew that sometimes the things that seem the most dangerous turn out to be the most fun! Yes, sir, it was a good day for young Peter... [whistles the theme to "Peter and the Wolf"]
Chris: Are you a pedophile?
[Chris' question causes Hebert's eyes to widen]
Herbert: Uhhh...
[Peter joins Brian at the bar after Peter finds out about Brian's affair with Lois]
Peter: Hey, uh, Lois told me there was some funny business.
Brian: Yeah, what of it?
Peter: Well, it's just...I can't help but feel a little betrayed, Brian. Lois is my wife, and...I mean, all the dry food I bought for you over the years?
Brian: Yeah, well, you don't deserve her, you know that?
Peter: Say what now?
Brian: You don't deserve her! She does nothing but give and give and give, and you repay her with selfishness and neglect. I mean, you've barely spent any time with her at all on this vacation!
Peter: Well, who the hell are you to tell me how to run my marriage? You can't even hang on to a girlfriend for more than a couple months!
Brian: What the hell is that supposed to mean?
Peter: Oh, y-you're a freakin' train wreck with that crap, Brian! You couldn't even get Jillian to take you back, and she was dumber than Lou Ferrigno.
[Brian throws his drink at Peter, Peter pushes him, Brian pushes back, and the two start fighting until Lois]
Nathan Lane: Stop it! Get off my husband.
Peter: Lois is right. What are we doing?
Brian: Look, I'm sorry, all right? It's just... wh-when you have feelings for someone that are strong enough, you just... I don't know, lose sight of the rest of the world.
Brian: And you're my best pal.
Peter: So what are we gonna do about this?
Brian: I promise, Peter, nothing like this will ever happen again. Can you forgive me?
Peter: Brian, I do forgive you and will love you like a member of the family sans Meg. But, I feel we need some time apart
Brian: What?! Why?
Peter: Brian, you tried to fuck my wife. Why would you think I would accept that and return home as if nothing bad ever happened? Honestly, I think this is for the better. [turns around to walk out and looks to Brian from his back] See on the plane back.
[Peter walks out with ]
Lois: Hey, you know what might be fun? How about we just order room service and watch a couple of bad movies?
Brian: Yeah, that does sound like fun. I'll go rent Vanilla Sky.
Lois: I said a bad movie, not an abortion.
Announcer: We now return to Damn, Nature, You Scary! on BET.
[a cheetah is shown running]
Black Narrator: Damn, looka that sumbitch go. He haulin' ass! Dat thing come by my house, I'll kill it. [the cheetah eats a meerkat] That little rat-looking thing just got ate! Damn, nature, you scary!
