Taking his therapist's advice, Brian starts helping others by doing volunteer work. Peter wins a paid vacation at work, and the family prepares for going on a cruise. Noticing that Brian's nose has great strength, Joe offers him a job as a police dog to search for drugs. Brian becomes a successful drug-sniffing dog for the Quahog police department, but along the way he gets addicted to cocaine. Because of Brian's cocaine problem, Lois insists on canceling their family vacation in the Bahamas to help support Brian while he's in rehab. Peter is disappointed that the vacation has been canceled, so he decides to tag along with Brian when he sees the beautiful clinic. A therapist at the clinic tells Brian that Peter is a bad influence on him. Although Brian defends Peter and leaves rehab in protest, Brian thinks that he needs time away from the Griffin family to find himself, and leaves Quahog for parts unknown.moreless

TRIVIA (7)
ADD TRIVIA-
The Griffins are shown in Purgatory saying "not that good, not that bad". Purgatory is a horrific place, used to cleanse souls for their entrance into heaven. The Griffins would actually be in Limbo, the place reserved for "righteous pagans and children who have died before baptism", where there is no torment but pleasure is withheld.

Providence Rehab Clinic
Because, dude, it's time. -
On the newspaper that shows Brian in his ticker tape parade, a headline reads "Scientist Mystified By Paper Rain."

The doctor that is in charge of Brian while in rehab looks an awfully like Miss Ironbachs from the episode I Am Peter, Hear Me Roar.

This episode is the only time, in the original 3 seasons, where they had to officially beep-out the f-word. Other times it was said, it was written into the script to be obscured by some other sound effect.
-
At the rehab clinic, Peter's 6-pack of beer has eight cans in it the first time we see it. The second time, however, it has only six cans.

NOTES (3)
ADD NOTES-
Cut for time, Gerald the Happy and Abstinent Police Clown originally sang a song about Gonorrhea (a.k.a. The Clap) sung to the tune of If you're happy and you know it.
-
The writers originally wrote this episode to be a season finale, which is why it ends in "to be continued..." However, because of the constant scheduling changes by FOX, it never happened.
-
The opening credits has the line "Laugh and Cry" rerecorded so people don't keep thinking it's "Eff'n Cry"
-
-
ALLUSIONS (10)
ADD ALLUSIONS-
Stepford Wives
Brian refers to Lois as a Stepford Wife, referencing the novel about a town filled with synthetic submissive wives. -
Don't Move, Dirtbag!
This line is taken from the Police Academy movie. -
CHiPS
The music played when Brian catches his first drug dealer is taken from this iconic cop show starring Erik Estrada.
-
The Thin White Line
The title of this episode is an allusion to the 1998 film "The Thin Red Line", an adaptation of James Jones' autobiographical 1962 novel, focusing on the conflict at Guadalcanal during the second World War.
-
Peter as George Harrison's security guard:

Blairwitch Project
Brian: Ok, they're in the woods...the camera keeps on moving...uh, I think they're looking for some witch or something...etc
When Brian is acting as a seeing eye dog, he takes a blind guy to a movie and explains what's going on. The movie he's explaining is the Blair Witch Project, a 1999 fictional "documentary" horror movie in which three kids go into the forest while filming a documentary about the legend of the Blair Witch. The movie was preceded by a lot of hype and it ended up being very successful, but a lot of people were disappointed by its unusual reality-TV-esque style.
-
Charles In Charge
Peter: Charles in charge of our wrongs and our rights....
Peter sings along to the original theme song of the 80's television show Charles in Charge.
