It was the day Brian and Ellie would never forget. The day their wonderful relationship came to an end. The day Brian's life came to an end.

It started out like a normal day, with Brian and Ellie waking up and eating breakfast with the puppies. After, Brian went out to collect the mail, and found a letter addressed to him.

Dear Brian,

You are cordially invited to a banquet at the Quahog Cinema this weekend. You may bring your wife and anyone else you wish. Don't be late. 

Brian didn't know who sent the letter, but he was pretty excited. The only dinner he and Ellie went to was on the day they got married. Brian ran inside and showed Ellie the letter, and she was ecstatic. " This is great. And we can take the puppies, too! This is gonna be fun! " she beamed. Unfortunately, she was wrong.

That Saturday night, Brian and Ellie drove up to the Quahog Cinema. The kids had fallen asleep in the back, so Brian woke them up and they all walked in together. The place was huge. There was a large chandelier in the foyer and an orchestra playing nearby. Brian saw a sign that said 'Dining Room'. " That must be where we're supposed to go. " he said. " I'll go in and see whats going on. You get the pups washed up. " Brian walked into the dining room, but when he saw who was in there, he practically passed out.

All of Brian's previous girlfriends were seated facing him- from Jillian to Chloe. They were looking at him mad with their arms crossed. " Hello Brian. "  They greeted their ex-boyfriend in unison. " Uh, hey, hey girls. " Brian said, with a nervous chuckle. " What a coincidence, heh. I'm actually coming here tonight with my wife Ellie. She's, you know, another dog... " Brian saw that his only other canine fiancé, Seabreeze, was also there. She barked angrily. Brian froze as he heard Ellie and the puppies enter behind him. " Alright Brian, I- uh, what's going on? Who are these women? " she asked. 

Brian turned to his wife. " Ellie, I swear. This isn't what it looks like. " Padma got off her chair and shook Ellie's hand. " Hello, you must be Ellie. I am Padma, one of your husbands former women. " she said. " Former women? Brian, what is she talking about? " Ellie said, a little angry. " Ellie, listen to me, everybody has a few boyfriends and girlfriends before they finally hit jackpot, if you know what I'm saying. " Brian said.

" You mean you fell in love with all these women before you met me?! " she yelled. " Yeah. And he had sex with us, too. " Denise added. " Well, not me though. Cause, well, ew, he's a dog. " Ellie stared at Brian, her face practically turning red with anger. " Come on, kids. " She gritted through her teeth. " We're leaving. " She took her cheerfully unaware puppies by the hand and stormed out. Brian turned to his ex's. " What the hell do you ladies want from me? You probably just single-handedly ruined the one good relationship I ever had. "

" You said the same thing for all of us. " The girls piped up, one by one. Brian muttered a curse word and ran outside, and was shocked to find Ellie had left already. Brian sighed, and called an Uber, who, of course, was Joe. " Hey, Brian. I thought you and Ellie had that big thing going on tonight. " he said. "  Yeah well, that thing was cut short. And I gota be honest, Joe- I don't think me and Ellie are gonna have any more things. "

When Brian got back to the suite, he knocked on the door, thinking just walking in wouldn't be right. Ellie answered, and frowned upon seeing Brian. " What do you want, jerk? " Brian sighed. " Listen Ellie, I'm really sorry. I didn't think when I was going through all those girls that I would actually meet someone who would find out. " he said. " THAT'S your excuse? Listen Brian, I thought you actually loved me, but if you also loved all those other women, I just, I don't know. I think it's over between us. I'm filing for divorce. And I'm keeping the puppies. Goodbye, Brian. " She closed the door in his face, leaving Brian standing there. It started to rain, and Brian started crying.

Meanwhile, in Quahog, Peter was watching TV when Brian burst into the house, wet and panting. " Brian? What the hell happened to you? " he asked. " Peter, it's over... Ellie found out about all my previous girlfriends and wants to divorce. And she has custody of the puppies. " He fell to his knees, bawling. " WHAT? You guys have been together for such a short time! " Peter said. " Wait, is Ellie the one you had sex with on the dog tracks? " At that moment, Lois came downstairs. " Brian, what's going on? " 

" Lois, Ellie divorced Brian! " Peter explained. " WHAT?! Oh my God, Brian, I'm so sorry! " Lois said. " We had such a good thing going, and now it's gone! I'm probably never gonna have a relationship like that again! " Brian whimpered. " The HELL you won't! " Peter said. " Brian, you've gotta march back there, apologize to Ellie, and make her your wife again! " he demanded. " Peter, I can't do that! There's no way Ellie will take me back! I'll just have to live the rest of my life alone... " Suddenly, Brian got an idea.

Up at the suite, Ellie was watching TV with the puppies when there was a knock at the door. When she opened it, she saw Brian dressed in a tuxedo- the same tuxedo he had worn the day he and Ellie got married, and holding a bouquet of roses in his hand. " Ellie, " he said softly. " Would you be willing to forgive me for dating all those other women and marry me again? " Ellie smiled sweetly. " Brian I'm sorry, but I can't re-marry you because, well, I've already met someone else. "

" What? " Brian asked. " To who? " At that moment, an Italian dog Brian had never met before walked. " Hey honey, how long is this gonna take? The kids are going wild in there. " he said. " Hang on Vinny, I'll just be a minute. " she said, and turned back to Brian. " Listen Brian, I know your probably feeling sad, but Vinny's never dated another girl in his life. " Brian was speechless. " So does this mean, we're done. " Ellie sighed. " Yes Brian... we're done. " and she closed the door again.

With nowhere else to go, Brian went back to the Griffins house, where he was going to stay. " Hey Brian, I'm really sorry it didn't work out with Ellie. " Stewie said. " Ah, it's okay. So, did anything interesting happen while I was gone? " Brian asked. " Well, SOMEBODY destroyed Rupert! " Stewie yelled, glaring at Meg. Brian smiled. It was good to be back.
