While standing in line for face painting at the pumpkin patch, Stewie and Brian note the lack of original Halloween songs on the radio, save for "Monster Mash" and decide to write one themselves. They initially decide on a rap before switching to a Halloween spoof of "We Didn't Start the Fire", though Stewie gets more wrapped up in living like a songwriter as opposed to getting the song done, prompting Brian to walk out on him. Meanwhile, Chris is bummed after Lois declares him too old to trick-or-treat and forces him to hand out candy at home. He and Peter sneak off to trick-or-treat outside of town while lying to Lois about being at the game. Bonnie and Donna reveal that their husbands told them the same lie, clueing Lois in on what's happening. The guys are accosted by masked killers and chased into a cabin where they're held hostage. When the guys express guilt over lying to their wives, the masked killers reveal themselves to be Lois, Donna, and Bonnie, having pranked them as payback. As they reconcile, Lois admits that her Halloween spirit was rekindled due to the act of setting up the prank. In the final scene, Stewie and Brian perform the spooky Halloween song they wrote. | |||||||

Spoofing Hallmark Channel's Christmas movies with the intro sung by Lainey Wilson, Lois is a hardworking associate at Big Pie in Cityopolis who has no time for relationships. When her boss, Carter, is upset about coming second in annual pie rankings, he orders Lois to steal the secret recipe from Aunt Maude's Pies in the small town of Townsville. Lois agrees, knowing it could get her the CEO position, but is sidetracked after falling for the local mechanic, Peter, who also owns Aunt Maude's. The two fall in love over the course of one day despite Peter already dating Bonnie, but Peter breaks up with Lois after discovering her plan. Lois is told by Andie MacDowell that her career isn't as important as she thinks and joins Townsville's Christmas pageant in Bonnie's place. She and Peter reconcile, though Lois is called back to Cityopolis to accept the CEO position after Carter is fired. She resigns soon after due to missing Peter and steps down to be with him, but ends up getting paralyzed on her way out and Peter rejects her. | |||||||

At the Quahog Dispensary's grand opening, Brian splurges on weed gummies, which he stores in the pantry. At night, Stewie sneaks some of the Oreos Lois purchased earlier for Peter's good behavior, but also mistakes the gummies for candy. When he is discovered to be high by Miss Tammy, he is forced to live at the Swanson's house temporarily while Lois completes online courses to regain custody. Lois then forces a list of rules on the family to keep Stewie safe, but Stewie is fed up and gets high again, spiking Lois's wine as well so she'll lay off. While stoned, the two discover that they can fully understand each other and bond over their never-before-heard insights on their family life. Stewie even details his past history of trying to kill Lois. After having a night on the town and defecating in the Swansons' yard, the two wake up sober, but still vaguely remember the experience. However, Stewie vows to kill Lois after she once again denies him an Oreo. | |||||||

While visiting Starbucks, Lois sees that the Pumpkin spice latte is back and has Meg try one, getting her hooked. Upon realizing that it's only a seasonal item, Meg convinces Lois to steal the ingredients and stockpile them at home, managing to avoid being identified at the crime scene. Bonnie discovers the truth after smelling the ingredients on Lois and rats her out to other local women. Lois and Meg begin to secretly sell the bootleg pumpkin spice lattes out of their garage, but are caught by Joe who used Quagmire's foot database called The Footbook to identify Lois's footprint at the crime scene. While fleeing, the two regret their actions after seeing how much things escalated, but admit that the experience allowed them to bond. They surrender after realizing that the peppermint mocha is available after the pumpkin spice latte. In the final scene, Lois and Meg have been sentenced to community service alongside Quagmire, who was ratted out for his database. | |||||||

During Quahog Fleet Week at The Drunken Clam, Peter and the guys meet the Navy Seal who killed Osama Bin Laden, who hints that his remains drifted near Quahog. The guys decide to find them and create a tourist attraction. Meanwhile, Brian informs Stewie about the concept of memes, and he instantly becomes hooked despite being told about the lack of originality and effort that goes into them. While at sea, Peter laments Lois's nagging and wishes for a world with only men, before the boat is struck by lightning. Everyone washes ashore to find a male-only community, later revealed by Lois to be Fire Island. The guys enjoy their time, but decide to leave after learning that older, uglier men have to cover everyone else's expenses. Stewie's posts quickly go viral and he lands a book deal, publishing a novel that consists of him explaining jokes. Fed up with his obsession, Brian and Chris subject Stewie to a "lobotomeme" to flush the memes out of his brain. Barely escaping with the help of a cocaine-fueled deer, Peter returns home and apologizes to Lois. When Lois starts to talk about her dreams, Peter returns to Fire Island with the $5,000 he owed. In the final scene, Stewie reveals to the viewer that the lobotomeme only partially worked. | |||||||
