Peter, Joe, Cleveland, and Quagmire win a costume contest as characters from The A-Team (because they had an actual black guy as B. A. Baracus and the other team had a Jewish man for the same role).
Morgan wrote two additional episodes of The X-Files, the absurdist cockroach invasion story "War of the Coprophages" (originally aired on January 5, 1996) and the famously convoluted "Jose Chung's From Outer Space" (April 12, 1996), as well as contributing an uncredited rewrite to "Quagmire" (May 3, 1996).

Quagmire and Hewitt hook up, with Quagmire ordering a "roofie colada".
Meanwhile, Ellie falls asleep and she and Peeps fall off Brenda and into the ocean, where they are picked up by a humanoid walrus, Clive (Patrick Barlow), and his partner, Rowena (Imelda Staunton), on a ship named the S.S. Quagmire.
If only Joe and Quagmire had chosen Peter’s suggestion that they rob a mafia poker game, then maybe this would’ve been a Family Guy send-up of Killing Them Softly instead.
