This was the first episode of the fourth season, after the show's three-year cancellation, and boy, was it a welcome return. Peter and Lois go on a second honeymoon to try and regain the passion in their marriage, and end up staying in Mel Gibson's room and seeing a tape of his new movie. Meanwhile, Stewie and Brian take on the parental responsibilities over Meg and Chris. Not only are there some great references to Hitchcock in this episode, there's also the absolutely hilarious trailer for Gibson's sequel to Passion Of The Christ, in which we see a gun-toting Jesus "Kick the first ass." Aside from that, there's some great ironic gags with Brian and Stewie punishing Chris for drinking at the school dance and eventually planting cocaine in Jake Tucker's school locker. Not to mention Mel Gibson shooting open his safe and then falling off the top of Mount Rushmore because "Christians don't believe in gravity."
