Superpowers Enter Quahog
While not *everyone* gets superpowers, it's Stewie who's the star of the show. This devious toddler ramps up his evil plans to eliminate his mom, Lois.
He uses a ray gun, which gives him all sorts of enhanced abilities.
Stewie's Super Shenanigans
Stewie's newfound powers are, naturally, used for mayhem. He demonstrates super strength, telekinesis, and flight.
Imagine a tiny baby flying around Quahog, wreaking havoc. Only in Family Guy, right?
Lois's Revenge?
The second part of the episode, "Lois Kills Stewie", flips the script. Lois, apparently revived from Stewie's initial attack, becomes a super-skilled assassin.
She's suddenly a master of disguise, martial arts, and weaponry.
Did she actually get superpowers? Or is something else going on? That’s the fun of this episode!
