[edit] Plot summary
Due to flooding, Meg falls into a coma, prompting Peter to rethink his constant cruel behavior towards her. When Meg recovers, Peter swears to become a better father. She starts dating a med student named Michael Milano, to whom she awoke at the hospital. Peter spies on them to make sure Michael will not hurt Meg; however, this behavior ends up driving Michael away.
Later, Meg shocks the family when she announces that she is pregnant. Peter concludes that the only thing to do is force Michael to marry her, and heads to his house with a shotgun; however, after learning of Meg's pregnancy, Michael turns out to be completely willing. Meg decides to go through with it, until the wedding ceremony, where she reveals to Lois that she just found out she is not actually pregnant, instead, she had her period and assumes she read the pregnancy test wrong. Lois suggests that Meg tell Michael the truth, and says that if Michael really cares about her, he will still understand and stay. When she tells him, however, Michael bails out completely without a word. We are left to believe that Michael never wanted to marry with Meg because he loves her, but because of the baby. The episode ends with a performance by Conway Twitty.
In a secondary plot, Stewie proposes to Brian that they buy and renovate a wrecked house and sell it to get rich. However, Brian is unable to cope with Stewie, and they are unable to get the job done. In the end, the two go broke and the house begins to deteriorate beyond repair. Stewie intentionally destroys the house and accidentally kills an electrician.
