"Emission Impossible" is the 11th episode of the third season of Family Guy, that first aired November 8, 2001. The episode was originally scheduled to air on September 19, but due to the September 11 attacks, "A Fish out of Water" aired instead.
The episode was written by Dave Collard and Ken Goin, directed by Peter Shin. Majel Barrett guest-starred as the voice of Stewie's microbionautical ship, and Wallace Shawn as Bertram, one of Stewie's potential brothers.
Quagmire babysits Meg, Chris, and Stewie while Peter accompanies Lois on a visit to her younger sister, Carol Pewterschmidt, who is nine months pregnant and has recently separated from her husband. When Carol goes into labor, Peter drives her and Lois to the hospital (stopping at a drive-thru on the way). Carol's obstetrician, Dr. Hartman mistakenly stabs himself with several used needles after mistaking his used needles box for a box of plastic gloves, and faints. However, Peter and Lois successfully deliver Carol's baby, who turns out to be a boy (Peter initially mistakes the baby for a girl with penis). Reminded of the joyful experience of childbirth, Peter and Lois decide to have another baby, but when they tell their kids and Brian about it, Stewie begins fearing for his status as the youngest child and resolves to prevent the conception of a fourth baby.
Stewie attempts to interfere in a romantic moment by crying for attention. Foiled in this effort, he smears one of Peter's shirt collars with lipstick, but Lois catches him when he gets distracted by his own image in the mirror. In another attempt, he chloroforms Peter and utilizes a mechanical replica of him to insult Lois, but Chris and Meg accidentally knock him out the window, where Stewie jumps out in front of Cleveland, much to Cleveland's surprise. When a candlelit dinner threatens to lead to intimacy between his parents, Stewie shrinks himself and a spaceship-like vessel and enters Peter's body to destroy his sperm.
