#10: Stewie Takes Chris to the Past

“Stewie, Chris, & Brian’s Excellent Adventure”

Some of the best moments on the show take place when Brian and Stewie go on a time-traveling adventure, and while the duo doesn’t normally have tag-alongs, they make an exception for Chris. The older Griffin brother needs to pass his history final, but he doesn’t know much about history. Stewie and Brian save the day by taking Chris on a tour of the past through Stewie’s time machine, but, when Chris unknowingly boards the Titanic, Stewie and Brian have to save him yet again. Stewie takes extreme measures to care for his older brother, as he not only cares about making sure Chris is safe, but that he succeeds in school as well, which is no easy task.

#9: Stewie Takes on Meg

“Stand by Meg”

It’s no secret that Meg is the family punching bag, so it’s endearing to see Stewie try to help her. When she saves him from choking on a grape, he decides to repay her by improving her social status and dating life. Stewie starts by getting Meg the lead in the school play, but he has a hard time staying out of the spotlight. He steals the show even during his brief appearance on stage, so he instead tries to set her up with Joe’s son, Kevin. Even though their relationship doesn’t work out, Meg feels good about herself after the experience. So, Stewie still ended up bettering her life, even if it wasn’t in the way he’d envisioned.

#8: Stewie Helps Chris Get Ready for a Date

“Extra Large Medium”

While Stewie and Brian may have the most iconic friendship on the show, the bond between Chris and Stewie definitely has its moments. When they’re both lost in the woods, they get to know one another, and Chris tells Stewie he has a crush on a girl at school. Stewie vows to help him win her over if they ever get back home. He later transforms Chris into a perfect gentleman while singing one of the catchiest tunes “Family Guy” has ever produced. This episode proves that Stewie wants his family members to be happy, and is one of the earliest times in the show we get to see him and Chris connect.

#7: Stewie & Brian Bond

“Brian & Stewie”

We’re used to seeing Brian and Stewie get into all sorts of funny hijinx, but the episode where they get locked in a vault takes a different turn. In this one, we see only Brian and Stewie - no other characters, no opening theme song, and no cutaways. This gives us the chance to see the best and the worst of each character, which leads to the most vulnerable and open conversation we’ve seen between the two. Stewie lends a sympathetic ear as Brian tells him that he keeps a gun in his safe in case things get to be too much. Although Stewie doesn’t quite understand, it’s clear he’s trying to while he gives comfort to his best friend.

#6: Stewie Writes a Song for Susie

“Ocean’s Three and a Half”

Stewie normally only has eyes for his teddy bear, Rupert, but when Susie Swanson is born, everything changes. Stewie tries his hand at songwriting, and while he struggles with it at first, he creates a masterpiece by the end of the episode. Stewie sings his own version of “(Everything I Do) I Do It For You” by Bryan Adams, accompanied by a confusing yet somehow beautiful music video. The video seems to be full of Stewie’s reflections of himself, and clearly his love for Susie has sent him down a rabbit hole of self-discovery and creativity. Unfortunately his infatuation with Susie ends about as quickly as it starts, but the song and video are still sweet gestures.

#5: Brian & Stewie “Save” Meg

“Leggo My Meg-O”

While most episodes of “Family Guy” show the Griffins being, let’s say, “indifferent,” towards Meg, this episode shows Stewie and Brian going above and beyond for her. After Meg gets taken during her trip abroad to Paris, Stewie uses his power of deduction to find the people who kidnapped her. He and Brian go to great lengths to bring Meg back home to safety, even going so far as to dress up and blend in. Even though Brian and Stewie end up rescuing her from a nice man who actually wants to marry her, we can’t help but admire their efforts.

#4: Stewie Sabotages His Play

“Brian’s Play”

A running gag on the show is that Brian Griffin is a self-proclaimed brilliant writer. When he writes a play called “A Passing Fancy,” it’s a huge hit in Quahog. This inspires Stewie to write his own play, and it should come as no surprise that the brilliant Stewie is also an extremely talented playwright. Brian doesn’t want Stewie to steal his thunder, but Stewie knows his play is good and takes it to Broadway, while Brian watches his own play begin to crumble. In the end, when Stewie sees how hard this has been on Brian, who has always wanted to be a successful writer, the former purposely tanks his Broadway debut to make Brian feel better.

#3: Stewie Fakes Brian’s Death

“Dog Gone”

When Brian hits a dog with his car, he starts to wonder if dog lives are as valuable as human ones. When he tells his family about what he’s done, they don’t see what the big deal is, and Brian tries to convince them that this should be taken seriously. Stewie notices that this whole ordeal has affected Brian, and he pulls off a stunt to prove to Brian that his life matters to his loved ones. He stages Brian’s death and lets him see how upset the Griffins become when they think he’s gone for good. While he may have used some questionable methods to achieve this, we wouldn’t expect anything less from Stewie.

#2: Stewie Saves Lois

“And Then There Were Fewer”

When the residents of Quahog find themselves at James Woods’s mansion, a series of murders occur that eventually get blamed on news anchor Tom Tucker. Before everyone leaves the next day, Lois discovers that Tom’s co-anchor Diane Simmons was the real culprit, meaning Diane can no longer let her live. While we brace ourselves for Lois’s death, we hear a gunshot, but instead it’s Diane who gets killed. When the shooter is revealed, it’s none other than Stewart Gilligan Griffin. Although he’s been trying to kill his mother for years, he still doesn’t want to give anyone else the satisfaction, so he saves her…for now.

#1: Stewie Brings Brian Back to Life

“Christmas Guy”

Stewie’s kindest and most genuine moments are the ones that revolve around his best friend Brian, and this moment is no exception. After some hijinx during a time travel expedition, Stewie and Brian decide to have some good ol’ fashion fun. They set up a game of street hockey that quickly takes a dark turn, as Brian is hit and killed by a car. Two episodes later, Stewie tries to adapt to life without his furry companion, but when an opportunity arises to bring Brian back, he doesn’t hesitate. Stewie manages to go back in time and save Brian before he gets hit, pulling off a Christmas miracle and bringing back the beloved character.
