The Son Also Draws

Written by Ricky Blitt and directed by Neil Affleck

Chris begins to lose interest in being a Scout, preferring to sit around and draw instead. Eventually, Chris' lack of interest leads the Scout Master to kick him out. However, Peter is having none of it and pays no attention to Chris' wishes. Instead Peter decides to take the family to New York to get Chris back into the Scouts. On the way there they stop off at an Indian casino where Lois gets hooked on gambling.
