Peter and the guys go hunting. While stopping for a bite to eat, Quagmire is disturbed that Peter's gun is facing his way and Peter promptly manages to shoot him while trying to prove it is harmless. At the Drunken Clam, Quagmire angrily accuses Peter of being stupid and refuses to have anything to do with him again. Peter finds himself shut of his booth and Joe suddenly has to decide which one he wants to be friends with. Joe calls the two together and elects to be Quagmire's friend to Peter's disappointment and loneliness. Depressed, Peter considers suicide with helpful advice from Meg. Peter comes up with the idea of having Quagmire shoot him in return but Peter is startled when Quagmire takes him up on the offer. While trying to keep from getting shot for real, Joe shoots Peter in the arm to settle the matter. When Peter demands to shoot Joe, Quagmire isn't satisfied that he hasn't shot Peter and shoots him in the head, everyone becoming friends again while Peter is in a semi-vegitative state.
