"He's Bla-ack!" is the twentieth episode of the twelfth season of the animated comedy series Family Guy and the 230th episode overall. It aired on Fox in the United States on May 11, 2014, and is written by Julius Sharpe and directed by Steve Robertson. The episode features the return of Cleveland Brown. In the episode, Cleveland and his family return to Quahog after The Cleveland Show had stopped production. However, his and Peter's friendship is on a knife edge when their wives argue about parenting.
Joe is bragging to the gang about his sexual exploits with Bonnie when Cleveland returns to Quahog and shows up at the Drunken Clam. Cleveland takes some good-natured ribbing over The Cleveland Show and its many faults, including the show's logo looking like a penis, the show (which has an African-American main cast) being written by white writers, Tim the Bear not being funny and having his voice actor replaced after season 2, and the show losing to Bob's Burgers in the ratings. Peter then gives Cleveland some Family Guy DVDs to bring him up to speed on what happened during his absence, adding that unlike The Cleveland Show, the Family Guy DVDs contain jokes (Cleveland admits, however, that he doesn't own a DVD player). During the theme song, Cleveland appears and ends up taking Mort's place in the theme song while Mort heads home.
As Cleveland and Cleveland Jr. move back into their old house and Donna, Roberta, and Rallo move in there with them, Cleveland discovers it has been wrecked due to all of the past residents like Dan Aykroyd and Chevy Chase (as seen in "Spies Reminiscent of Us"), Ryan Reynolds (as seen in "Stewie Goes for a Drive"), and its having once been used as an orphanage. After getting things fixed, the Brown family proceeds with moving in, cleaning up and sorting things. Rallo tries to make friends with Stewie, but Stewie blows him off, calling him a Boondocks rip-off. Chris breaks a vase that belonged to Donna's great-grandmother over Rallo's head. As a result, Donna spanks him, which enrages Lois, who confronts Donna when she finds out. Donna accuses Lois of being a bad parent while Lois accuses her of being a child abuser. They refuse to have anything to do with each other, forbidding their husbands from socializing with each other as well.
