Plot

Peter, Quagmire, and Joe go to Harvard University for lunch after Peter learns that Joe has a student ID he took from a kid who talked back. During a night out, a drunk Quagmire ends up married to an elderly sex worker named Charmese. She refuses to end the relationship, and when Quagmire thinks about divorce, Joe warns him he could lose everything. Quagmire tries to make things work, but Charmese’s lifestyle is too rough for him. She says she hasn’t gone two weeks without sex since she was in a coma for six weeks, and she has worked in her field for forty years. When Quagmire hesitates, Charmese asks if he’s gay and says the marriage would end if he were. Quagmire fakes being gay. After she catches him watching straight porn, Charmese says she’ll only grant a divorce if he proves he’s gay by sleeping with a man. Quagmire asks Peter, who agrees but demands a date first, which Quagmire finds awkward. At Quagmire’s house, Charmese insists they have sex, and the two men reluctantly get ready. Just as they’re about to go through with it, Charmese stops them, saying they’re clearly straight but she’ll give him a divorce because he treats her better than anyone else. After she leaves, a nearly naked Peter and Quagmire hug in relief, and Peter notices Quagmire’s laptop camera is on. The scene shifts to the Griffin home, where the family watches in horror, and Stewie asks if they’re watching Glee.
