Family Guy Episode 18
At work, Peter attends the retirement party for Moses Beauford, the Pawtucket Brewery's longtime night watchman. After learning what such a job entails, he asks Preston to let him fill the position, to which he obliges. Following a brief tutorial, Peter is put to the test when Principal Shepherd arrives with his drinking buddies, who bribe him with cash to let them in for some beer. Soon enough, the brewery becomes an after-hours bar, with Cleveland, Joe, and Quagmire all helping Peter run it and make even more extra money. However, the fun comes to an end once the guys use up all the stored beer in the building. Returning to the grounds, Moses suggests that the guys rob a beer truck to replace what was lost, but the heist fails. Just when Peter is about to fess up about his actions, Moses reveals that he refilled the vats with the beers he stole throughout his decades of working for the brewery. He also reveals that he plans to take his job back, effectively letting Peter off the hook.

Meanwhile, Stewie is taking Brian out for his walk, when they both find a flyer for a missing dog, promising a $1,000 reward. Noting how greatly this dog resembles Brian, the two agree to give him a makeover and con the owner into giving them the money. The owner turns out to be an extreme TikToker named Chase, who has made viral videos killing all his previous dogs without a shred of remorse, and immediately crates Brian. With Chris' help, Stewie tracks them down to Dangerous Stunt Beach, where Brian is roped to a remote-controlled drone over the water as a sponsored stunt for a lube company. Chris attacks Chase, causing the drone to fly erratically and then shut down, but fortunately, Stewie and Brian are saved by landing in a kiddy pool of said lube.
