Fish Out Of Water

Written by Alex Borstein and Mike Henry and directed by Bert Ring

A jobless Peter decides on a line of work fit for “a real New England man”: he becomes a fisherman. But there's something fishy about the bank that finances his boat. Meanwhile, Meg and Lois do some serious spring-break partying (Lois does, anyway) at Rhode Island's Narragansett Beach.
