"Internal Affairs" is the twenty-third episode and season finale of the tenth season of Family Guy. It originally aired on May 20, 2012, along with its preceding episode, "Family Guy Viewer Mail #2". In this episode, Peter and Quagmire encourage Joe to have a one-night stand with his attractive new partner to even the score with Bonnie for her own indiscretions. However, when Bonnie finds out and threatens divorce, Lois insists that Peter get them back together. Meanwhile, Peter has another run-in with Ernie the Giant Chicken, making for yet another epic fight. This episode serves as a sequel to "Foreign Affairs".
The episode was written by Wellesley Wild, and directed by Julius Wu. It received mixed reviews for its storyline and cultural references. It guest-starred Scott Grimes as Kevin Swanson, Anna Kendrick as Nora, Christine Lakin as Joyce Kinney, Rachael MacFarlane as Woman, and Patrick Stewart as Susie Swanson.
At the Clam, Peter and Quagmire see a news report of another successful bust by Joe. After congratulating him, Joe invites them to a party to celebrate his bust. Following the invitation, Peter starts to back out in his car, and hits a car belonging to Ernie the Giant Chicken, setting off another fight, this one being their most out-of-control. During their struggles they land on Stewie's time pad and are transferred to the old west and back (including a cameo of the DeLorean time machine from Back to the Future Part III with Marty McFly inside), eventually ending up in a genetic research lab where they are cloned multiple times inside a cloning facility, with the clones fighting each other. Eventually, they set off an explosion killing all of them except the true Peter and Ernie the Giant Chicken, and are then launched into space aboard the Space Shuttle, then crash back to earth on an oil rig. Their fight destroys the oil rig and after Peter wins, Ernie the Giant Chicken is choked, impaled, roasted (by the rocket engines), and almost drowned. But as Peter returns to shore and to Quahog, it is shown that Ernie miraculously continues to live, foreshadowing yet another fight.
