October 29th; 8:30 pm.

    Darkness looms over the city of Quahog. Everyone is getting prepared for Halloween. However, one thing's for sure, everything is about to change for the Griffins.

    Everyone is gathered in the living room watching the news. Lois looks at her phone and then over to Peter.

    "Peter, can I talk to you upstairs? We need to talk." Lois said with a tone of anger. As she walks upstairs, Peter reluctantly follows. A slam of the bedroom door is heard as Brian changes the channel and turns the volume up. Chris, Meg, Stewie and Brian all sit in the living room watching Stewies favorite show. An hour passes by and Lois is heard yelling extremely loud.

    Chris leans over to Meg."What's going on up there? There's a lot of banging and screaming but I can't tell what they're saying."

    "I'm not sure. This is the third time this week they've argued. And it's only Tuesday!" Meg exclaims.

    "Well, whatever it is, they need to figure it out quick! I can't watch my show with all this screaming and yelling!" Stewie complained.

    "Ya think it's because of Peter constantly drinking? Lois mentioned she'd say something to him." Brian comments. They pause the show to listen in, the screams and yells becoming clearer.

    "HOW COULD YOU DO THIS TO YOUR OWN FAMILY! ALL THESE YEARS AND I'M STILL DEALING WITH YOU COMING HOME DRUNK EVERY NIGHT, THROWING UP EVERYWHERE AND NOT GIVING A FUCK ABOUT WHAT YOU DO!"

    "Lois...please...I'm sorry...I'll be better..." Peter cried

    "NO, PETER! I'M DONE GIVING YOU CHANCES! I'M DONE CLEANING UP AFTER YOUR DRUNKEN ASS! I WANT YOU OUT OF MY FUCKING HOUSE!"

    Lois bolts down the stairs ripping family photos off the wall, throwing Peter's collections onto the floor.

    Meg stands up, "Mom, what's going on?"

    "Shut up, Meg" Peter cries out chasing Lois with pleading hands.

    “DON'T TELL MY DAUGHTER TO SHUT UP YOU FUCKING PIG!" Lois yells. "YOU WANNA KNOW WHATS WRONG MEG? YOUR WORTHLESS, ALCOHOLIC FATHER GETS DRUNK EVERY NIGHT AND BARELY MAKES IT IN THE BED, BARELY MAKES IT HOME TO HALF ASS TUCK STEWIE IN FOR BED! HE DOES NOTHING FOR THIS FAMILY! HE KEEPS THE MONEY FROM WORK TO BUY BEER WITH SO HE CAN KEEP BEING THE ALCOHOLIC HE IS!"

    Peter cried; "Lois please! I said I'm sorry! I didn't mean to..."

    "Didn't mean to what?", Lois interrupts, "You didn't mean to become an alcoholic? You didn't mean to pocket the money you get to not only buy alcohol, but conveniently forget to pay bills and say we have no money!?"

    "Lois, that's not something I'd do..." Peter wept.

    "But you did..." Lois sighed, "...and now I'm done. The past 10 of 20 years in our marriage you've done nothing but sit on your ass and drink yourself down a fucking rabbit hole and dragged your own son into it!"

    Brian stood up slowly, regretting his decision; "Lois, the drinking problem came from me..." Lois shot Brian an evil look, making him whimper as he hunched over into a corner and laid down.

    "That's it...Brian, Peter...GET THE FUCK OUT OF MY HOUSE!" Lois screamed, frightening everyone. "AND CHRIS!" Chris jumped, quivering in fear, "have you drank any alcohol behind my back? Tell me the truth because I SWEAR TO GOD IF I FIND OUT AFTERWORDS I'LL THROW YOUR ASS IN JAIL!"

    Chris mumbled; "....y-...yes... mom I'm sorry.... please don't kick me out!"

    Lois wept a single tear and quickly wiped it away; "Chris....I love you...but you're going with them. I CANNOT have alcoholics in MY FUCKING HOUSE! IF IT WASN'T FOR YOUR IGNORANT FATHER, YOU WOULDN'T BE DOING THIS SHIT!" Chris cries as they pack their things and head for the door. Meg runs over to Peter and Chris and Stewie runs over to Brian.

    "NO! y-..you guys can't leave! We can't be torn apart like this!" Meg cries, hugging Chris and Peter.

    "Shu-" Peter sees Lois glaring at him, "..I mean, I'm sorry Meg but what Lois says goes. We aren't welcome here anymore."

    "Brian! You can't go! You're my best friend! I don't want you to go!" Stewie whines.

    "I know...but just know, wherever I may be, you'll always be my best friend...okay?" Brian cried as he hugged Stewie tightly. Lois pulled Meg and Stewie away, the fire in her eyes lit fires underneath the boys' feet.

    "You've said your goodbyes, now GET! OUT!" Lois yelled. Chris, Peter and Brian ran out of the house into Peter's car and drove off. Meg and Stewie turned to Lois, tears dripping from their faces.

    "Why mom? Why did you kick them out! You're such a bad person! I hate you!" Meg yelled as she ran upstairs carrying Stewie, grabbing Stewie's crib and slamming her bedroom door. "You're staying in here tonight with me okay?" Stewie nodded in agreement as they laid down and watched Stewies favorite show.

    Lois continued downstairs throwing and slamming things in frustration.

    "Why! Why! WHY!" Lois screamed, throwing pots and pans to the walls, breaking plates on the floor and then eventually falling to the floor. "Why did they have to let alcohol consume them? Why is it that alcohol is more important to them than family? Why...why.....why...."
