Plot
A month had passed since Barbara died (she had joined Brian in death), and the now-orphaned litter (Briana, Ollie, Jenny and Marcus) refuse to accept Vinny as their foster father. Out of the four, Jenny and Marcus have tried numerous ways to bring their parents back, even with Stewie's help, but unfortunately, they gave up. Finally fed up with Vinny, who tried to sit down watching a home movie of their late parents, the litter roughhouse him, prompting Lois to disown them (that was the last straw). It not only breaks the Griffin family's hearts, but also Vinny's as well. When the puppies get sold the next day, Stewie tries to calm Vinny down.

However, Vinny gets depressed throughout the week. He refuses to smile and eat properly, resulting in his health to get worse. One night, he writes a piece of paper and goes to sleep, thinking about Barbara and his now-broken promise to take care of the puppies, which he made to her after she died. Stewie can't help but feel sorry for him.

The following morning, Vinny gets called to a special meeting with the family. Lois convinces him to forget all about Barbara and the puppies, since they're no longer part of the family, and that they're his family no matter what. Vinny finally smiles in understanding, and eventually, he forgets all about Barbara and the puppies like Lois recently predicted.

Months have passed, and it's now December, close to Christmas. The family looks forward to the Christmas Carnival at the Quahog Mall, but they find that the festivities have been cancelled, prompting Stewie to go on a rampage, and Vinny to get worried.
