Next Episode
When Brian is chased out of Goldman's Pharmacy, his attempted vandalism ends up knocking out a robber. When he is hailed as a hero, a previous acquaintance reconnects with him, now a well-to-do tech entrepreneur and author going by the name of George Townsend. George convinces him that the only thing holding him back from greatness is not being neutered. After thinking it over, Brian agrees, despite Stewie's attempt to get him to reconsider. When Brian goes off for the operation, Stewie discovers a secret in one of George's books and sets off in pursuit. Once strapped down, Brian finds out that George is really after revenge for his leaving him for Peter before being gassed and the operation begins. Stewie arrives and stops the operation in mid-procedure, with Brian losing only a single testicle in the process. They convince George that his revenge was at least partially satisfied and because of Brian, he achieved all that he had in the meantime, with Brian's missing testicle being replaced by a jester's bell after George ate it.
