A straight-to-DVD animated film where Stewie Griffin, lamenting his existance in the world, openly questioning on whether or not that Peter Griffin can be his real father. After struggling through swim lessons, a failed murder attempt on the best student in that class, and a brief alcoholic stage after following Brian Griffin's example where he controls anger through his drinking, Stewie sees a strangely familiar man on television, one who looks and sounds exactly like he does.

The man is currently in San Francisco, and Stewie vows to meet him. He and a reluctant Brian hitch a ride on Glenn Quagmire's cross-country Winnebago sex trip. They steal the vehicle in New Mexico after Quagmire is mugged and handcuffed to the bed by a cleaning woman. After arriving in San Francisco, Stewie is shocked to learn that the man he saw on TV is himself from thirty years in the future, taking a time travel vacation.

When the adult Stu Griffin returns to his proper time, Stewie stows away with him, and he learns that the future is not good to him at all. Stu passes Stewie off as a Nicaraguan adoptee named Pablo. To Stewie's horror, he finds out that his future self is a 35-year-old virgin who lives alone in an apartment, works at an electronic store, and collects cartoons from Parade Magazine. Stewie attempts to make Stu "cool", remaking his apartment, and setting him up on a date with a female coworker that goes great up until it's time to actually go to bed with her. His date gossips about the disaster the next day, costing Stu his job, and he comes home to see that his apartment has burned down. After complaining about the near-death experience at the pool, Stu and Stewie ask Lois (now in a retirement home with Peter) for money to buy a new time-travel watch. Lois agrees, and Stewie goes back in time, righting various wrongs, ending with changing events at the swimming pool that day.

While Stewie isn't figuring out where things went wrong, Peter gets a job at Channel 5 with a news segment called "What Really Grinds My Gears", which grates on Tom Tucker, who resents Peter's popularity. He and Lois also want to teach Meg and Chris to get dates so they can have some peace and quiet together, but soon question if the kids are really ready for dating.
