When the house is flooded due to a flash flood, Peter orders Meg to get a case of beer, but she drowns. Peter saves her, and they find out that Meg has fallen into a coma, prompting Peter to rethink his constant cruel behavior towards her. When Meg recovers, Peter swears to become a better father. She starts dating a medical intern named Michael Milano, to whom she awoke at the hospital. Peter spies on them to make sure Michael will not hurt Meg; however, this behavior ends up driving Michael away. Later, Meg shocks the family when she announces that she is pregnant. Peter concludes that the only thing to do is force Michael to marry her, and heads to his house with a shotgun; however, after learning of Meg's pregnancy, Michael turns out to be completely willing. Lois tells Meg "There are other options," but Meg doesn't want to get an abortion. Meg decides to go through with it, until the wedding ceremony, where she reveals to Lois that she just found out she is not actually pregnant, instead, she had her period and assumes she read the pregnancy test wrong. Lois suggests that Meg tell Michael the truth, and says that if Michael really cares about her, he will still understand and stay. When she tells him, however, Michael bails out completely without a word. The episode ends with Peter introducing a live action clip of Conway Twitty.
