Peter, what is that?
Peter Griffin:
Well, I got the idea to build a panic room after I saw that movie "The Butterfly Effect". I thought, "Wow, this is terrible. I wish I could escape to a place where this movie couldn't find me."

This episode is unique. The reason it's unique is that it follows not the same pattern as the other episodes where there is a single main plot and maybe a subplot, but is made up of several stories. It was like watching three or four episodes at the same time. In this episode the griffin family is burglarized and is forced to hide in the attic. In the attic Peter had built a panic room and the family stays in that panic room. During their stay in the panic room Peter starts telling them stories about his famous ancestors, starting from cavemen to slavery days and other famous griffins in history. As said in the summary, this episode is articulate and enjoyable. Perhaps one of the best episodes of season four.
