Joan (Family Guy)

Joan (Nicole Sullivan) was the main villainess of "I Take Thee Quagmire", episode 4.21 of Family Guy (airdate March 12, 2006). She was a maid who began working for Peter Griffin in the episode's beginning, him having won a free month of her services while competing on Wheel of Fortune. During that time, Peter irritated Joan with his crazy demands. But on her last day of work with Peter, when he invited his friends over to watch Joan have to clean up the house after giving Meg an exploding watermelon, Joan and Quagmire instantly took an attraction for each other.
Joan and Quagmire began a relationship from that point on, with Quagmire soon after proposing to her and deciding to drop his womanizing persona. But after Peter's multiple attempts to get Quagmire back to his usual self, he finally realized he wasn't ready to get married after seeing Lois' swollen breasts (as she was in the process of weening Stewie during the episode). But when Quagmire went to Joan about his friends' suggestion that they divorce, Joan showed her true colors by threatening to kill herself and Quagmire if he ever tried to leave her, holding a knife to her wrist as she did. Quagmire appeased her by saying he wouldn't, but immediately went to Peter, Cleveland, and Joe for help.
The four men finally decided that the only way to get rid of the psychotic Joan was to fake Quagmire's death. When their inept and goofy first attempt inevitably failed, they initiated Plan B by having Quagmire walk in and fake a fatal heart attack, which Joan believed to be real. But at Quagmire's funeral, Peter was forced to end the deception when the coffin was almost encased in concrete due to Mayor Adam West's fear of zombies. Joan was thrilled to see that Quagmire was alive, but Death arrived and said that Quagmire still had to come with him. Joan resisted and grabbed Death by the arm, causing her to instantaneously die. When Peter and others pointed out that Joan had been suicidal and that her married surname was Quagmire, Death agreed to take her instead of Quagmire.
