"Deep Throats" is the 23rd episode of season four of the television series Family Guy. It was written by Alex Borstein and directed by Greg Colton. Appalled at parking charges introduced by Mayor West, Brian decides to expose the corruption of the Mayor, despite the prospect of potentially destroying Meg's new career as the Mayor's intern. Meanwhile, Peter and Lois decide to participate in the Quahog community talent show with a folk singing act, as they did in the 1980s, but the couple becomes largely reliant on marijuana for inspiration and eventually fail the competition for their poor performance, despite their beliefs they were singing well when under the influence of the drugs.
Meg is employed as an intern for Mayor West after doing an interview with him. The family is impressed by this news, and Brian feels pressured as he is becoming the "new Meg" due to him not having a job. Brian decides to become a taxicab driver, but soon becomes intent on exposing the corruption of Mayor West to the public after receiving a $400 parking ticket for parking his taxicab on a handicapped zone without permit next to a store where Brian bought some milk for Lois. After discussing his corruption beliefs with Meg, she argues that Mayor West is a nice person and that he should drop it. Stewie, after learning of Brian's intentions to expose Mayor West, decides to go with Brian and assist him. After meeting in a parking lot with a whistleblower that happens to be Kermit the Frog, Brian discovers where Mayor West will be on the night, and follows him to a motel with Stewie.
They arrive at a motel, spy on West through the wall, and discover he's involved in a relationship with Meg. Seeing this relationship as an ideal opportunity to take West down, Brian photographs the two together in romantic scenes and records their talk in a restaurant, threatening to release them to the press. After Meg finds out about this, she confronts West, who says he and Meg should separate due to the negative media images which will follow if Brian does release the images, because even though he's used to it, he does not want Meg's life to be ruined, stating how much he really cares about her. They separate, with Mayor West telling Meg that even though he's leaving her, he'll always love her. Brian, having secretly heard this, realizes he has made a mistake and Mayor West isn't as bad as he thought, subsequently destroys the images, and later apologizes to Meg (telling her that he got so caught up in taking down Mayor West that he lost sight of what was really important). He intends to give her a ride home in his cab, but finds Cleveland Brown trashing the cab in anger (before he notices them and turns into a black panther and escapes) because Brian decided to buy the milk for Lois rather than taking Cleveland to his destination before Brian got the ticket, thinking that Brian did not pick him up because he was black.
