"Brokeback Swanson" is the eighth episode of the fourteenth season of the animated sitcom Family Guy, and the 257th episode overall. It aired on Fox in the United States on December 6, 2015, and is written by Ted Jessup and directed by Julius Wu. The title is a play on the film Brokeback Mountain.
The episode was delayed 15 minutes from the show's usual timeslot due to Barack Obama's address to the nation about the December 2015 San Bernardino shooting and ISIS's November 2015 Paris attacks.
Peter, Cleveland, and Quagmire want to run with bulls, but try to exclude Joe since he is in a wheelchair, only to have Joe show up in full bull-run costumery when they're about to drive over to the event. At the run as the race starts, Joe starts having fun, but he slips on a beer bottle cap (in slow motion) and after he is thrown from his wheelchair he is brutally trampled and finally tossed a long distance by the rampaging bulls. At the hospital, Dr. Hartman tells Joe, Bonnie, Peter, and Lois that Joe is now a quadriplegic. Bonnie then leaves Joe because she "didn't sign up for this" and says she is heading off to a new life in Europe with their daughter, Susie. At Joe's house, Peter and the guys try to get Joe settled into his new completely disabled life (Peter stuffs things he thinks Joe will need into Joe's mouth), but find they are exhausted from incompetently trying to provide 24-hour care for their friend. Feeling as though they cannot take care of Joe forever, they decide to relocate him to a state home for disabled people called the Quahog State Home, which Joe is sad about yet understands.
