One of my very favourite episodes of the show.
Very narrative driven without even having an into-plot. I guess it's a parody of Taken but what it is is a wonderful Brian and Stewie outing and they are in full action hero mode.
A compelling story involving Stewie using his intelligence to first solve the mystery of where Megatron is (that's her real name you know XD), and then a delightful pastiche of the action genre filled with all the superb shenanigans you would expect from this pair.
The humour is dark, unapologetic and does that wonderful Family Guy thing of deftly merging the absurd with the mundane for a constantly jarring effect. Throw in some super actiony sequences that are brilliantly animated and yet still always a little funny and you've got magic.
I also love how this episode is testimony to how much they really care about Meg and the lengths they will go to save her. The episode sort of snatches happiness away from her but they sort of do it well.
All done in a wonderful Parisian setting.
