Biography[]
Peter won a week of free maid service after a surprise victory on Wheel of Fortune. His maid, Joan, was erratic and performed bizarre "stunts" while on the job. When she met Peter's friends, Quagmire was instantly smitten. He began dating Joan, proposed, and the two were married.
Initially, marriage seemed to change Quagmire he became tidier and swore off his womanizing ways. However, this didn't last.
After seeing Lois Griffin, he realized he'd made a mistake and tried to end the marriage. Joan reacted by threatening a murder-suicide, forcing Quagmire to stay.
Realizing he was married to a psychopath, he hatched a plot to fake his own death.
With the help of his friends who played roles as a ninja (Joe), a Nazi (Cleveland), and a pots and pans robot (Peter) in a staged video Quagmire "died" after a toy dinosaur "ate" his body. When Joan wasn't fooled, they switched to Plan B: Quagmire would fake a heart attack at his own funeral.
During the funeral, Death arrived to claim Quagmire's body, and Mayor Adam West cemented the casket out of fear of zombies.
The truth was then revealed: Quagmire wasn't dead. When Death insisted he still had to take someone, Joan grabbed his arm, yelled that he couldn't take her husband, and instantly dropped dead herself.
Peter, Quagmire, Joe, and Cleveland quickly convinced Death to take Joan instead by pointing out her threats of suicide.
Death agreed, and Quagmire simply asked for five more minutes with the body.
