STEWIE: Meet Alana Fitzgerald.

How she got here is quite a tale.

And I'm here to tell it to you.

I'll tell you all about Alana.

And who am I?

I'm Stewie, the talking baby
from Family Guy.


Do you really not know that?

And now to our tale.

It started innocently enough
late last month.


♪ ♪

(ENDS WITH FLOURISH)

Oh, Alana, this lesson has been a treat.

You were always the best student.

And you were always
the only teacher in town

who didn't rest a hand
on my knee while I played.

(CHUCKLES):
It's okay. I'm not a teacher.

Chris, go to your room.

Sure thing, Mom.
Just one more sniff of Finesse.

(SNIFFS LOUDLY)

(EXHALES)

As you were.

Alana, it's been five years
since you graduated,

and still no college plans?

I still want to audition for Juilliard,

but I still can't afford
the $ , application fee.

Oh, you're not gonna tell me
you can't pay

the seven dollars for today's lesson?

'Cause that's our sandwich money.

Will there be sandwiches then, miss?

♪ ♪

Peter, can I talk to you about Alana?

I have an idea.

You can talk about anything you want,

as long as you shout it
over the Patriots game.

SPORTSCASTER: Critical
third and seven for Mac Jones...


I just feel really bad for her.

You know, she's so talented,
but she doesn't

have the money to apply to colleges.

- And it's a fumble!
- Oh, no.

I know, it's sad. And that's
where I think we can help.

- Somehow Mac Jones fell on it.
- Come on, the clock is ticking.

Well, I just think we could hire
her to help around the house.

You know, with the laundry,

driving the kids to school,
all that stuff.

- ...for a touchdown!
- Yes!

Thank you, Peter.
I knew you'd understand.

Man, it just really sucks
when you're playing from behind.

Exactly. That's why
I'm so happy to help her out.

You know, I think we'll both
sleep better tonight.

And the Patriots set up on defense.

PETER: Go for the sack!

Well, you did agree to the Alana thing.

Mm, where's my clothespin?

STEWIE: This gross encounter
sealed the deal.


And just like that, Alana was welcomed

as a member of our family.

♪ ♪

- (DOORBELL RINGS)
- Oh, that must be Alana.

What are you, the Amazing Kreskin?

Just open the damn door.

Ah! Welcome, Alana.

Oh, thank you, Lois.

Are you sure this is okay?

"Okay"? It's wonderful.

Come on, meet the rest of the family.

Now, of course, you know Chris.

Hi, Chris. Good to see you again.

And it will be good to see you again

through the bathroom keyhole.

That was not original to the house.

Hi. I'm Peter.

I enjoy middle-of-the-night
hallway cereal.

I'm Meg. Don't touch my
drum set, or you're dead meat.

STEWIE: No one had ever heard of
Meg's drum set before this moment.


Oh, Lois, you're so lucky
to have such a beautiful family.

I didn't grow up with any of this.

Let me show you where you'll be staying,

and you can get settled in.

Oh, there's plenty of time for that.

Let me get started on dinner.

I was thinking tacos and nachos?

Well, sounds good to me.

What do you think, Peter?

I just arrived in my pants.

(ALL CHEERING)

STEWIE: That night,
we all ate tacos and nachos


that were so good, we stood and cheered.

We were the envy of the neighborhood.

Here, Joe.

Barely thawed trout and white rice.

This trout's the lucky one.
It's over for him.

- What's that, Joe?
- Thanks, Bon. Looks terrific.

♪ ♪

Did you guys know you have
a pool in the backyard?

It was just overgrown
with grass and weeds.

PETER: Cannonball!

There's no water in it, though.

PETER (AUDIO REWINDING): Llabnonnac!

Phew. That was a close one.

You know, Alana, I confess I wasn't sure

how this was going to work out,
but you've been terrific.

Uh, you're just too good to be true.

STEWIE: Too good to be true.

Like a single Jewish doctor.

Hello? Where are you?

Doctors can be girls, too, so shut up.

Yes, everything seemed perfect
in our household,


but sometimes things
aren't what they seem.


We'd been so conditioned into
believing our mother's life was empty,


we couldn't even fathom the idea

that another person would want it.

It was a real All About Eve moment.

Or, if you're under , a real
Single White Female moment.

Or, if you're under ,
a real
Swimfan moment.

Or, if you're Black,
the Beyoncé movie Obsessed,


which I haven't seen
but hear real good things about.


Yes, Alana was a regular Lisa,

which is the character from Obsessed,

which I just looked up.

(IMITATING LOIS):
Stewie, eat your vegetables.

STEWIE (CHUCKLING): Okay,
that's pretty good, but I'm onto you.

(BIRDS CHIRPING)

Oh, : .

Well, that's much later
than I usually wake up,

but at least I won't react like
a character in an ' s mov...

(UPBEAT MUSIC PLAYING)

(PANTING)

I am so sorry.

I didn't realize how late it was.

You guys must be starving.

Wha... What's all this?

Oh, good morning, Lois.

I thought I'd let you sleep in.

Oh, that's nice.

- Where's Peter?
- Oh, he's here.

He's just in the kid phase
of the Mini-Wheats cycle.

The shrinking process
was incredibly painful.

Mom, she made us eggs with falafel.

Or, as she calls it,
"falafel à la Alana."

It's hard to say, but they're delicious.

I take adult-sized poops,
but I have kid-sized parts.

I could die from this.

Yeah, that's-that's part of why
I don't let Peter do that.

But you know what, I'm glad you guys

are all enjoying Alana so much.

Oh, she's the best.

In fact, Alana and I stayed up
all night scissoring.

Wow, Meg, you're really good at this.

Yeah, I had an older babysitter
who kind of showed me how.

(GASPS) Hey, maybe after this,

we can get out the cribbage board

and work on our pegging.

WEST: I'm Mayor Wild West,

and my neighbor's kid
had to explain this to me.


Guess, this week, it's church
on Sunday and Wednesday.


But anyway, back to our tale.

STEWIE: The dominoes
were falling one by one.


Especially Peter, who found
Alana to be a sheer delight.


That will be more clear when you see

how she's about to be dressed.

- (RUSTLING)
- Santa?

I can almost see your bum
through your nightgown.

STEWIE: Any time Peter
saw someone at : a. m.,


he assumed it was Santa.

Alana?

What are you doing up so nipples?

Sorry, I was just
cleaning out the freezer.

Okay, any Popsicles that say

"property of Peter Griffin" are mine.

Got it. You see anything else you like?

I can think of one or two things.

Did you enjoy your five-course meal?

(LAUGHS) I wouldn't consider
an amuse-bouche

a full course unto itself.

(SIGHS) I guess you're right.

Hey, maybe we could split
a Popsicle for dessert.

Yeah, sure, if any of them have
your name on 'em, help yourself.

♪ ♪

Hey, thanks for taking me
to the dog park, Lois.

Well, now that we have Alana,
I've got more time

to do stuff like this.

Can I be honest with you, Brian?

Hmm. That's what a woman says

before she trashes another woman.

I'm a little worried about Alana.

I mean, the kids seem to like her,

and she's good at her job,

but maybe a little too good, you know?

I don't know, she seems cool to me.

I mean, yes, I know, she's very sweet.

(GRUNTS)

But sometimes I feel like
maybe she's after something.

I just don't know what it is.

(PANTING)

Well, maybe you're right.

I'll tell you what, I'll talk to Alana

and try to sniff out
what's going on with her.

Oh, thanks, Brian.

I'd appreciate that.

I'll tell you, I'm starting
to wish I never...

(GRUNTS): hired her!

Hey, sorry about that.

Well, looks like Lois
is plenty threatened

by that new girl who moved in,
I tell you what.

Wow. Dusting the den, huh?

You're really going
the whole . meters.

- What?
- Oh, sorry, nine yards.

I just read so many European authors,

I slip into metric sometimes.

Anyway, Alana, could you do me
a favour... with a "U"...

And maybe do a little less housework?

Less housework?
But that's why Lois hired me.

Well, I worry Lois might be
feeling a little displaced

since you've been doing
so much around the house lately.

Oh, I'm so sorry.

I would never want to make her
feel uncomfortable.

Hey, maybe we should discuss
this while I brush your fur.

Okay, I see what you're doing.

This kind of stuff may have
worked with the kids,

but I kind of look out for Lois
in a way that they don't.

And believe me, Alana, I can
get pretty mean if I want to.

(LAUGHING): Oh, Brian, that's adorable.

And I love that you're
so protective, but come on.

We all know you're just
a big sweetheart.

And even if you were able
to be mean to me,

I'd still be loving you.
