==Plot==
A snowstorm has invaded Quahog, Rhode Island, with Stewie set to visit his grandparents, Carter and Barbara Pewterschmidt at their mansion. While on the drive there, Carter falls asleep at the wheel and crashes his car into a tree. The three then go to the hospital, where Griffin family neighbor Joe Swanson alerts Carter that his driver license has to be revoked because of Carter's old age. His wife, Barbara, then suggests that the two retire. Carter is reluctant at first (since he does not want to leave out a six-billion dollar company), but eventually agrees to do so, admitting that he never had time to play polo or sit on a chair to moisten his mouth. Later that day, the retired Carter decides to visit his son-in-law, Peter, along with his friends Joe and Quagmire at the local bar to learn about their discussions of their lives at home, to their chagrin. Carter also decides to live with the Griffin family, and attempts to find someone to hang out with, especially Quagmire. Peter voices his distaste of the situation, and suggests that they put Carter and Barbara in a retirement home in Florida.
The family then drives to Florida, and checks out a retirement community. Impressed at first, Carter then refuses to live in the community, fearing that he is getting too old. Peter decides to talk to Carter on his own, in an attempt to convince him to live in the home, and promises to show him how great it is to be retired. The two then perform various tasks, including playing bingo, with Carter then eventually agreeing to live there. Six months later, Barbara calls the Griffin family, alerting him that something is wrong with Carter. When they arrive, they discover that he has become grumpy, and even more tired and elderly. Attempting to fix him, Peter, Lois, and Barbara take him to his old business in Quahog. Peter then angers Carter, by making a proposal to make the business humane, causing him to return to his old self. Carter then warns both Peter and Lois never to put him in a retirement home again, stating that he will remain running his business until the day he dies. Just then, Thelma, Peter's mother, calls from the nursing home on Peter's phone where she complains and tries to talk Peter into visiting for Thanksgiving while Peter remains non-committal. When Peter gets off the phone, Lois makes sure Thelma stays in the home.
