Petarded

Family Guy invites their neighbors to the "night of the games." While playing the Trivial pursuit , Lois uses kindergarten questions to make Peter win. After his victory, Peter begins to brag about this, which annoys Brian , who offers to pass him a test of genius.

Test results showed that Peter is mentally retarded . Peter becomes depressed, but soon discovers a lot of advantages in his new status: he realizes that in society the attitude towards the mentally disabled is very loyal.

Studying the boundaries to which society is ready to endure his antics, Peter accidentally douses Lois with boiling oil (during the theft of a fryer from a restaurant). In the end, Lois is in the hospital, and Meg , Chris and Stewie are taken away by the Child Protective Services , since Peter is medically incapacitated.

All three children are in the care of Cleveland . Trying to win back the children and put Cleveland in a bad light, Peter brings prostitutes to his house, but the idea fails. The appeal to the court is also unsuccessful. Soon Lois returns from the hospital, and life returns to its former course.
