This made it the most watched show on Fox's Animation Domination line-up that night, beating The Simpsons, American Dad!, Bob's Burgers and The Cleveland Show. The episode received a 2.6 rating in the 18-49 demographic and was watched by a total of 4.89 million viewers. The title is a reference to Arnold Schwarzenegger's film Total Recall. The scene where Stewie rescues Rupert from the incinerator is similar to a scene in Toy Story 3. The opening credits are a direct parody of ABC's Modern Family. As Stewie celebrates getting Rupert back, one of Rupert's eyes pops off and into Stewie's mouth, choking him until he suffocates. Brian tries failed toy after failed toy until he manages to stop the belt and Stewie is reunited for good. As Rupert nearly falls in, Stewie grabs him and tries to retreat off the belt himself before falling in. Stewie gains access to the belt and makes his way to Rupert. As Stewie despairs of ever finding the real Rupert, he spots a conveyor belt loading the bears into a furnace and discovers the real Rupert. They slip into the factory on a tour and find the recall room, only to realize there are thousands of identical bears. Stewie decides to go to the factory and retrieve Rupert at all costs and enlists Brian's help. When Stewie finds him missing, Brian tells him what happened and shows him the replacement toy giraffe they sent which Stewie rejects. Meanwhile, the New England Toy & Game Company recalls the teddy bears for the eyes potentially coming loose and Lois sends Rupert back. As Lois feels bad for him, she decides to help Peter regain his place, turning down a night out to allow Peter to rejoin his friends. Peter joins the others but finds his jealousy and desperation leaves him out of the group. After the game, Peter confronts Lois about hanging out with his friends, lamenting that they are all he has. Joe surprises everyone with three tickets to a Red Sox game just as Peter shows up to join them and they point out they do not have a ticket for him, preferring to take Lois. Celebrating at The Drunken Clam, Lois joins in the guys' sex talk, whilst making a rather bold reference to her bisexuality, saying that she would have sex with Scarlett Johansson. The guys have some reservations but Lois does remarkably well, winning the game for the guys.
Peter ends up in the hospital and is thus unable to go to his bowling tournament, so he enlists a reluctant Lois to take his place.
After repeated attempts, he manages to get deathly ill. When he recovers, Peter loses his sexy voice and decides to fall ill again to regain it. After they make love, Peter goes to his bowling match. Peter comes down with a cold that alters and deepens his voice, which Lois finds to be a turn-on.
