Hell comes to quahog

Peter , Cleveland , Joe and Quagmire rest in Drunk Oyster when Peter is asked to pick Meg from the ice rink . Peter and his friends go there, and they get so involved in roller skating that they forget about Meg and leave her there. Wet in the rain, the girl gets home on her own, and declares that she needs a personal car .

Peter and Meg go to a car dealership, where Peter, despite the protests of his daughter, buys her a tank . Soon, Peter begins to use the tank for his own purposes, not giving it to the mistress, but then yields to persuasion and teaches Meg the art of driving military equipment. During a test drive, they cross Joe's legs and he confiscates the vehicle.

Meg decides to find a job to earn money and buy a car for herself. Despite Brian’s objections, the girl gets a job at the American Superstore USA , a supermarket recently opened in Quahog . Soon, all other shops in the city ​​go bankrupt due to power outages: the new supermarket consumes more and more energy. In addition, Peter loses his job (the “Super Store” has its own brewery ), and he joins the demonstration against the new store. Peter bursts in to get buyers out of there, but is fascinated by the cool air conditioning (the city is hot and the air conditioners are not working due to blackouts) and allows you to take yourself to work there.

Soon, Meg becomes an assistant manager, and her boss, Mr. Penisburg, forces her to dismiss her father for slacking on his duties , but Meg decides that her family is more important than work and leaves herself.

Meanwhile, Brian and Stewie decide to destroy the Supermarket, for which they hijacked the confiscated tank of Peter and drive inside, destroying everything in its path and dispersing customers. Peter and Meg escape through the emergency exit . The store and Mr. Penisburg are completely destroyed, Quahog’s power supply has been restored, and life is returning to normal.
