There's Something About Paulie

Family Guy needs a new car . Peter and Lois can’t agree on where to buy it, but in the end they go shopping at the nearest car dealership, where the seller hands Peter the car “which James Bond himself used to drive”. The car is faulty, but members of the mafia group help sell it to Peter. In gratitude they ask a little: to reduce Don Fat Man Pauli's nephew to the cinema .

Peter and Pauli quickly find a common language, although Lois does not consider Fat Man a good person and requires Peter to get rid of him. Misunderstanding Peter’s statement that “Lois is stopping them,” Fatty Pauli decides that Lois needs to be killed . Peter later realizes this: gangsters from the car scorch Pauli, killing him and making it impossible to cancel the order. The next day, Lois learns from the news that Pauli was a gangster, and Peter confesses everything to her.

Peter goes to the "Mafia nest" and openly talks about what is happening, although he is informed that there are "bugs" in the room. To shut up Peter, he is given an invitation to the wedding of his daughter Don. Each invitee will have one request, so Lois asks Peter to withdraw the order for her murder, taking the opportunity. Instead, Peter wants a tiramisu from the Don table.

Upon leaving, Peter discovers a quarrel between the bride and groom . He tells them about the hard work of living together, what it feels like to be together.

To save his wife’s life, Peter invites Don to kill him instead. Don, delighted with the act of Peter, removes the order for the murder.

Pursuing Peter's car, a servant explodes in it.
