Pretty good modern episode

Following up last episode being another goddamned Old West episode may have contributed for my liking of this episode, but I'll take what I can get from season 22. It starts with a short story about Peter making a jetpack, which I would have disliked but it's just funny so it's excusable enough. It leads to a story about Peter and Lois go to Joe's mother's condo, only to discover that it's filled with old people. I liked the fact that Lois isn't mad about Peter for going there, she genuinely finds the good things in there like how everyone thinks she's the hottest person there. This goes for Peter too, they're nice to each other throughout the whole episode. It devolving into them harvesting the organs of Peter and Lois is kind of out-of-nowhere, and I'm not a big fan of how it concludes, but I loved the ending scene of Lois telling Peter how she liked the thrill of it. Made it feel like old Lois for a bit. I also like the mini side plot of Stewie and Brian trying to take a shower, has a few nice gay moments and some great animation in the end. Dare I say, it's my favorite episode of the season so far, and I'm looking forward to what season 22 has to offer.

I genuinely loved this episode. I feel like Family Guy in general usually has one plot in each episode that's good and one that's sort of boring or tacky. This is one of the episodes with two good plots. This episode is the best and most rewatchable that I've seen since White Meg Can't Jump. The rest of the season before this episode was good, but this was the one that made it great. This very well might end up being my favorite episode of the entire season. It managed to fit in some of the wacky humor from the earlier seasons of the show while also feeling fresh and interesting at the same time.

I don't think we needed them to jump to the conclusion of the old people stealing organs, just being out of touch would have been suffice, but this was actually a really funny episode where both the A and the B storylines worked.

They leaned into baby and dog humor, and when they get real like that with Stewie and Brian it works. But getting Peter and Lois out of their usual element and in a different setting worked too.

Family Guy has been having a decent season and this is really needed given the lack of viewing options out there right now. Hopefully they can keep this level of quality up all year.
