Synopsis[]

After Stewie meets his look-alike, he discovers that the man is his future self, enabling him to see what life has in store for him. However, when Stewie doesn't like what he sees, he realizes that the only way to ensure a different outcome is to change his ways

Plot[]

The episode begins with a 24-style opening recapping the events of “Stewie B. Goode” and “Bango Was His Name, Oh!

Stu Griffin, as Stewie's future self is called, is taking a time-travel vacation, which is how people in the future take time off. Stewie tricks his way back to the future with Stu. In the future, Stu refers to the younger Stewie as a child named "Pablo" from Nicaragua. Amazingly, no one seems to notice the similarities between the two.

In the year 2035 at a family dinner, Stewie discovers how the lives of his family will pan out: Chris will become a traffic cop and marry a hateful, foul-mouthed hustler named Vanessa who belittles him and insists on putting Peter and Lois in a retirement home; Meg will transition from female to male after college and lives as a man named Ron; and Brian will die by eating chocolate he found in the garbage, go to Heaven, and spend a rather promising eternity drinking with Ernest Hemingway, Vincent van Gogh and Kurt Cobain. Stewie over time learns of his own horrible fate: at age 35, he will be a virgin working for the Quahog Circuit Shack and living in a low-rent apartment and his only friend will be a female co-worker named Fran. Furthermore, he is a doting mama's boy, having long ago abandoned his matricidal tendencies.

Disgusted with the way his future life will turn out, Stewie remodels Stu's apartment and coaches him through The Joy of Sex with the intent of getting Stu to lose his virginity to Fran. Stu and Fran do end up having sex—for about eight seconds, followed by 40 minutes of Stu crying, and then offering to pay for the sex. Fran goes back to Circuit Shack and tells everyone about it, costing Stu his job. Returning home, he finds that his apartment is in flames, ironically caused by "stress-release" candles Stewie placed while redecorating.

His life now ruined, Stu laments the day of his near-death experience at the Community Pool. Noting that it may be a clue to the reason of his future life, Stewie asks him to elaborate, and Stu reveals that memories of the experience will re-surface when young Stewie is 20, causing him to regress and preventing him from taking any risks. Armed with this knowledge, Stu and Stewie proceed to the retirement home where Lois now resides to ask for money to purchase a new time-travel watch; Lois, who reveals she knew all along that "Pablo" was Stewie, obliges and gives them a check to a secret account Peter doesn't know about while he's busy. They buy the watch, but before Stewie leaves Stu realizes that his history will change if Stewie succeeds, and that they will never see each other the same way again. They say their final goodbyes and Stewie begins his mission.

Stewie travels back in time to the day of the accident and runs to the pool. He manages to prevent himself from getting crushed by the chair. Past Stewie wonders what happened and asks Future Stewie who he is - Future Stewie responds, and after a brief talk Past Stewie vaporizes Future Stewie with his raygun. By obliterating Future Stewie, the trajectory of his future is changed, without him knowing. The family packs up and heads home, with Meg bidding farewell to a boy to whom she's been talking to, considering how much she likes his name: Ron.

[Fargus turns on the machine, which makes a huge bubble out of the mixture that floats]

Trivia[]

  • Due to the show's second cancellation, it was temporarily the series finale (again), before the series returned for good two and half years later.
  • As Quagmire would claim later that he's 61 in present time, and in seen in the nursing home in this episode, he would be 91 years old and still living.
    • Same with Randall Fargus. Who claimed he's 96 and with him being seen in the nursing home, depending on if you avoid the fact his death happened, he would be 126.
  • The timeline that this future takes place in is null and void due to multiple events in future episodes that happen in the present and make it impossible to happen:
    • Stewie being a virgin as 35 year old and losing it at that age couldn't happen as Stewie mentioned to have lost his virginity at 2 years old in "Island Adventure".
    • Characters like Francis, Thelma, Horace, Randall Fargus and Diane Simmons appear in both the 30-year and 15-year skip (the former two for the 15-year skip), yet they couldn't appear as Francis died in "Peter's Two Dads", Thelma died in "Roads to Vegas", Horace died in "Save the Clam", Randall died in "How Farg is Heaven?" and Diane died in "And Then There Were Fewer".
  • While listing things making him glad, Stewie pronounces the word "pinwheel" as "pinhwheel" as a predecessor to the same error in "Barely Legal".
  • Art Metrano sued Family Guy for the parody of his "magic" routine depicted in this episode.
  • Walt Disney is awakened from his cryogenic sleep and he asks if the Jews are gone, then asks to be put back when the cryogenics engineer says no. This is a reference to his supposed anti-Semitism which was promoted in the book Walt Disney: Hollywood's Dark Prince.
  • Parade Magazine is mentioned when Stu shows Stewie a clipping of a cartoon he cut out of the magazine and stuck behind his counter at Quahog Circuit Shack.
  • The cartoon clipping from Parade Magazine is from The Lockhorns, a William Carrell one-panel cartoon series where the two primary characters are married despite bitterly hating each other.
  • Future Stewie asks past Stewie if there has been a successful vehicle for Ellen Cleghorne. Ellen Cleghorne was a popular black female castmember on the NBC sketch show, Saturday Night Live in the 1990s, who hasn’t been in anything of importance since she left SNL in 199
  • According to Inside Family Guy: An Illustrated History, Meg's sex change was to be referred to as 'addadicktomy', but was censored out of the episode.
