"The Blind Side" is the eleventh episode of the tenth season of the American animated sitcom Family Guy. The episode originally aired on Fox in the United States on January 15, 2012. In the episode, Peter meets Stella, the new worker who replaces Opie and is deaf. Quagmire falls for her and decides to have a party for disabled women at the bar, where Brian meets a blind girl named Kate and decides to date her. Meanwhile, Lois replaces the stairs after Stewie gets a splinter, but Peter constantly slips and falls down them and eventually decides to stay upstairs for good.
The episode was written by Cherry Chevapravatdumrong and directed by Bob Bowen. It features the guest performances of Jessica Barth, Carrie Fisher, Sara Fletcher, Hunter Gomez, Christine Lakin, Marlee Matlin, Tara Strong, Nana Visitor, and Robert Wu, along with several recurring voice actors for the series. It received mostly positive reviews.
After Opie gets dismissed from the brewery (apparently for excessive on-the-job masturbation), Peter's new co-worker is a very attractive deaf woman named Stella. Quagmire stops by to visit Peter and is smitten by her, so he puts together a "Disabled Ladies Night" at the Clam. While the gang is there, Brian sees an attractive blonde woman named Kate at the bar and successfully asks her out, only to learn that she is blind. They have a very nice first date but Brian is horrified to learn that Kate hates dogs. He decides to pretend to be a very hairy human, and wins her over by lying at length and by turning down offers of sex. When Kate's parents come to visit her and invite her and Brian to dinner, Brian enlists Stewie to help him with another ruse: this one has Brian wrapped up in bandages and Stewie posing as his post-burn treatment nurse. Stewie even cuts off Brian's wagging tail and cauterizes the bleeding with a candle to keep up the charade, until Brian finally tells Kate the truth about himself. But Kate says that while she would have gotten over her anti-dog beliefs, she is through with Brian because he lied to her. However, Brian, on Stewie's advice, manages to use a different voice to continue his relationship with Kate.
