Until then, their marriage had been happy. They met by chance.

The crew had left for the afternoon for the bars and hotel rooms of nearby Henrys Fork. One of the crew had returned unexpectedly and caught Stewie as he was ripping the top off a bag of sugar with his teeth. The crew member pulled a 9mm semiautomatic from beneath the dashboard of his truck and fired several wild shots in Stewies direction.
