 Brian insists that things will still be better in the end, but when they travel five years into the future they find a computer generated post-apocalyptic future caused by nuclear attacks all across the United States, which also hands everything to the viewers on a silver platter which Stewie finds to be lazy. Cleveland is back in Quahog, Joe is a robotic policeman, and Quagmire is a mutant frog called Frogmire before being obliterated by Joe for breaking a law. Stewie discovers online that the civil war escalated to a nuclear attack across the entire Eastern Seaboard, killing over 17 million people, including Cesar Millan. Brian admits that he made a mistake, and the two return to the past to prevent Brian from telling his past self about the attacks. They then return to the present, whereupon Stewie learns that Brian has instead taken credit for the Harry Potter series instead of J.K. Rowling.
