[edit] Plot summary

Spoiler warning: Plot and/or ending details follow.

Visting a local electronic store to get a new VCR, Peter and Lois are persuaded into buying a TiVo. Once home, Brian and Stewie are watching a news interview in San Francisco and Stewie sees someone identical to him. Stewie believes that man is his real father. Soon he starts trying to make money for a flight to California and once Stewie is ready, Quagmire is all prepared to set his cross-country trip in his Winnebago or a.k.a. his Wanna-Bang-Oh! and have sex with a different girl in each state. Stewie then is going along with him when Brian stops him but then says he'll go along too. Stewie and Brian can't take Quagmire anymore after stopping so sudden. While Quagmire is having sex with someone, Stewie goes in to get him but finds out that Quagmire is chained to a bed and naked. Stewie takes the keys and goes off without Quagmire. Wanting to make good time, he gets pills from a trucker at a stop and fully buzzed and awake, drives far west. Brian goes to see what is up with him and sees that Stewie isn't even on the road but lost in a desert heading west. Brian tries to take control of the wheel but Stewie won't let him take it and they eventually crash. Abandoning the Winnebago, they walk through the hot desert and eventually Stewie gives up but Brian tells him that he's gone this far and can't stop now. Once they reach San Francisco, they head to the place where Stewie's so called father is. Stewie then finds his father follows him out the hotel then a downhill car chase. Stewie then crashes into a fruit cart and loses his father. Stewie then decides to take the trolley and sits next to a man reading the newspaper. Stewie asks for the arts section and then sees that it's his father. But then his father explains that he isn't Stewie's father but he says, "I'm not your father, I'm you". This is then continued in the next episode.

Meanwhile, Peter is trying to have sex with Lois but Chris and Meg keeps intruding. Lois and Peter decide to get their kids to start dating. Lois teaches Chris how to treat a women, manners, going to dinner and the women of Sex in the City through example and torture and Peter teaches Meg how to treat a man through shaving his back and loving the man's flatulence. At the end, they send their kids off to get a boyfriend and girlfriend. We see that in the next episode what happens.

Spoilers end here.

[edit] TV Edits/Alterations

The following items from the second third of Stewie Griffin: The Untold Story were not on the TV version of this episode:

The scene where Quagmire, still chained to the hotel bed (from when the cleaning lady left him there), turns on a porno movie so he can arouse himself to the point where he's able to use his penis to call 911.
The old style intermission with the characters talking over it.
Brian and Stewie arriving in San Francisco, and the "ThunderCats" cut-away where Lion-O uses his Sword of Omens to spy on Cheetara in the bathroom.
The episode on the TV version ends with an announcer asking viewers rhetorical questions about the episode's events. The last line is, "Will younger viewers get this Soap reference?" It is, in fact, a parody of the 70's soap opera comedy Soap, including the family fighting on the couch.

[edit] Goofs

When Stewie first finds Quagmire chained to the bed, Quagmire's hair is cut the same way it was when he was in the Navy (as shown on the episode Death Lives). However, in the scene where he tries to dial 911, his hair is back to the way it normally is.

[edit] Notes

The episode is named for the song And Bingo Was His Name-o.
Peter parodies Spider-Man and Batman in this episode.
On Peter and Lois's trip to Las Vegas they see the Jew Man Group, a parody of the Blue Man Group playing the Jewish Hava Nagilah.
The banner of the Wanna - Bang- Oh! says Quagmire's Cross-Cuntry Tour (after Brian points out that Quagmire's spelling of "country" is missing an "o").
Stewie says when boarding the Wanna-Bang-Oh! "You heard Captain Syphilis we're going to California". Syphilis is an STD referring to the joke of Quagmire being a sex addict.
In the desert Stewie and Brian think they see a Dr Pepper soda machine and race to it only to find it's a mirage and actually a RC Cola Machine
Lois asks Chris who the women are in Sex in the City and Chris lists Carrie, Miranda, Samantha and Scrappy-Doo, the nephew of Scooby-Doo. Then he guessed Bosley from the campy 1970s action show "Charlie's Angels", Tootie from the 1980s sitcom "The Facts of Life", and singer Sheena Easton.
When Chris cannot name the fourth member of Sex and the City (Charlotte) Lois orders a torturer called Endo to electrocute him. This is a direct refrence to Lethal Weapon where Riggs is being tortured in the same manner by the same character.
This episode features the first possible reference to Brian's future girlfriend. In this we just see Stewie look at a cable bill to which Brian responds rather sheepishly saying that its for a friend (possibly Jillian)
