Plot summary
When Peter throws Stewie into the Quahog Community Pool, the baby nearly drowns, and Lois takes him to swimming lessons. There he meets Brad, a boy his own age who is the star swimmer, and Stewie, jealous, sets out to take the attention that Brad receives. He packs a lifeguard chair with dynamite and baits Brad underneath it with marzipan, but the detonator fails and the chair comes down on Stewie. He ends up in Hell with Steve Allen, and when Lois revives him he believes the experience is a sign to be a good boy. Meanwhile Peter, told he cannot rent pornography at the new video store, complains about it on Quahog 5 and is given a segment called What Really Grinds My Gears.
