In 'Switch the Flip,' Brian Griffin, ever the desperately lonely and deluded ladies man, falls in love with Brandee, the voice of an Alexa-esque smart speaker. In the episode's other storyline, Joe Swanson becomes Quahog's sole active police officer after unhinged Mayor West sends the rest of the force to Colombia to search for the kidnapped woman from the '80s movie 'Romancing the Stone.' Peter, Cleveland, and Quagmire thus step in to become temporary (and incompetent) cops. They make out a little and Brian moves on, but Meg grows obsessed, cured of her inappropriate crush only after a surprisingly earnest heart-to-heart with Quagmire. Brian gets extremely drunk at the prom and unleashes a barrage of putdowns so cruel and accurate to Meg's bully that Meg falls in love with Brian. Meg can't get a date for the junior prom, and Brian, in a rare moment of sympathy, offers to take the person who is essentially his sister to the dance. Meg Griffin is almost always the butt of the joke and the target of seething derision on 'Family Guy.' In the 2006 episode 'Barely Legal,' Meg gets to be the star of the episode, and viewers realize the darkly funny depths of just how starved she is for attention and affection.
