"Meg Stinks!" is the nineteenth episode of the twelfth season of the animated comedy series Family Guy and the 229th episode overall. It aired on Fox in the United States on May 4, 2014, and is written by Danny Smith and directed by Bob Bowen. In the episode, Meg goes for a college interview and becomes the life of a party while Brian encounters a skunk and after getting sprayed, must learn to survive in the wild.
Meg Griffin and her parents attend James Woods High School's College Fair where they find out that not only is Meg considered a top student (with a solid B average, despite the fact that none of the teachers want to trade sex for higher grades with her), but Principal Shepherd arranged an interview for her at her first-choice college in Vermont. Peter and Lois fight it out offscreen to see who has to take her, and Peter loses. On the way to Green Mountain College, Peter is his usual dismissive self towards her, and he doesn't order her any food at a diner, until he finds out that Meg knows a lot about his likes when she plays Night Moves by Bob Seger (who Peter then tells Meg thought up all his songs, the aforementioned included, while taking bowel movements) on the jukebox. They bond as Peter explains with stunning clarity that he had a family because he didn't like to use condoms and lost out on a promising career as a podiatrist to take his loathed job at the toy factory and support his new family. Arriving at the school, they find a party and continue to be friends. Back home, they reveal that they missed the interview as Lois scolds them. Meg defends their actions because this is the first time she has ever gotten anything positive out of her interactions with her father.
Meanwhile, Brian goes outside to read in peace and quiet because of Stewie and Chris watching Extreme Makeover: Bethenny Frankel Edition. When he hears a noise, he discovers a skunk and is sprayed. After various attempts by the Griffin family to get rid of the skunk smell on Brian fail, Lois sends Brian to live outside until the skunk smell wears off. After Stewie is dismissive of Brian and berates him about not being able to handle living outside, Brian discovers he can hunt and eat in the wild after catching a hummingbird as well as run faster on all fours. As the smell fades, Brian finds he is meant to stay outdoors and starts to act like a wild dog while having a beard and long hair. Stewie feels unhappy that the balance in the house is off and begs Brian to return to his old life. Brian refuses until a thunderstorm starts, bolting for the house.
