Plot:
Chris recalls having to give an oral book report at school, during which he had an erection, which earned him mockery from the student body. He initially contemplates running away, before Brian suggests borrowing Stewie's Time Machine to revise the incident. However, in the present, Meg ends up with a permanently disfigured face due to a chemical explosion in the science lab. Stewie theorizes that Chris' erection is what distracted her and protected her from the explosion, prompting the trio to head back and reverse their actions. Despite some obstacles involving the alternate Chrises, they manage to set things right. Brian explains that he was wrong for suggesting time travel, as Chris requires such cringy moments in his adolescence in order to become an interesting adult.
Meanwhile, after a night of golfing at The Putthole, Peter and the guys stop by the Quahog Mini-Mart and decide to buy lottery scratchers, though Peter decides not to partake in it. When the others collectively win $123, Peter instantly becomes jealous that he doesn't get a cut of the winnings. Feeling that his friends are too good for him now, he steals some lotto tickets in hopes of winning some money of his own and gets arrested. The others bail him out with their remaining winnings, apologizing for making their friend feel bad as he apologizes for his overt jealousy.
