Story
A strong storm rages over the night Rhode Island , in which a Colombian plane carrying an illegal cargo crashes: drug toads that fell into the hands of adolescents and caused real drug fanaticism in high school and high school.
Lois and Peter are preoccupied with the problem of “licking” that appeared at school. They find a psycho-toad in Chris’s pocket, and then they find out that Meg also held in her hands to please the boys and increase their chances of a date at school dances - “Snowballs”. To solve the problem, Peter, having agreed with the principal, announced the next day to the class as a new student - Landow Griffin ( not a relative of Meg Griffin).
Soon, Landow convinces children at school ( James Woods High ) that licking toads is not cool. Meg, taking this opportunity, declares to everyone that Landow invited her to Snowball, thereby sharply increasing his popularity.
And Peter, meanwhile, is drawn into his “school role” so much that he overwhelms Meg with the news that he is dancing with the main school beauty Connie D'Amico, and not with her, as agreed.
Lois cannot understand Peter's behavior, but Brian explains it all: Peter transfers his former bad relationship with Fab's first love to Connie. Lois forbids Peter to go to the dance, but he secretly escapes. Lois encourages Meg and advises her to go dancing alone.
At the ball, “Landow” and Connie are almost elected king and queen of the ball, when Peter declares publicly that he was originally planning to invite Meg to dance. This immediately turns the gaze of all towards Meg, which she sought. After this, the Landow recklessly leaves for the night. The next day, the news is full of reports that Landow Griffin crashed on the “ Dead Man's Curve ”. Although they didn’t find the bodies, the police decided to “let things go on the brakes” ( it was best to not ask questions and get on with life ). Meg is becoming popular at school.

- The leitmotif “Let me tell you, stud” mimics the similar phrase “Tell me about it, stud” from the film “ Briolin ” ( 1978 ). The musical number “You're the one that I want” is also taken from there.
- The scene in which Peter draws graffiti and then pretends to have a deodorant in his hand is a parody of the opening scenes in the series “The Prince of Beverly Hills ”.

Trivia
- Opening the door, Peter sees the main characters from the box of cereal breakfasts “Tony Tiger” , “Rabbit Trix” and “Lucky Leprashon” , which is a parody of the movie “Club Breakfast” in 1985. It is worth noting that the ending of the episode is exactly the same as in this film.
