Plot:
When Meg sees an ad for a new reality dating show, Sex Farm, she decides to sign up in hopes of finding her significant other. She initially has no luck until she meets a guy in a chicken suit, though ultimately, the two are the first couple to be eliminated despite their chemistry. Meg's partner soon reveals that he actually is a chicken, going by the name of Nugget, and is the son of Ernie. Despite apprehension regarding what their respective fathers would say, the two decide to date in secret until Peter catches Nugget sneaking into Meg's room.
Peter refuses to tolerate Nugget's presence even after witnessing his caring side at dinner, prompting Meg to move in with him. Despite initially brushing it off, Peter quickly becomes despondent after realizing how much he misses his daughter, especially after seeing how well she gets along with Nugget's family. After the latter pokes fun at Peter, Meg can't help but feel bad for him and confesses to Ernie that she still loves her dad despite also loving Nugget. Ernie orders her to leave if she doesn't renounce Peter, and she responds by beating him up, decapitating him, and heading back home.
