It aired on Fox in the United States on February 17, 2013, and is written by Anthony Blasucci and Mike Desilets and directed by Jerry Langford. The episode revolves around Chris doing Meg's chores after she catches him in the act stealing money from Lois.[1] Meanwhile, Stewie and Brian become fans of Canadian singer Anne Murray, who guest stars in the episode as herself.[2][3] PlotWhen Chris is teased at school for his no-name Latvian sneakers, he asks for money but is turned down by Lois. He steals money from Lois' purse while she is out, but Meg sees him and demands that he do as she asks or she will tell their parents. Chris initially agrees, but when he learns that Meg never intends to let up on the demands, he runs away to Herbert's house. Meg is forced to conceal the fact that Chris ran away while Herbert finds that life with Chris is not all he fantasized about. When Chris pushes things too far by making a mess and refusing to get ready for a night out, Herbert kicks him out. Chris finds Meg looking for him. She apologizes and admits she missed him and Chris admits that they need each other to cope in the family. Herbert watches as they hug and he drives away to cry about their "break up" to some friends. Meanwhile, on the way home from a bad birthday party for a “friend” Lois met for Stewie, she puts on music to soothe his crankiness. He finds himself captivated by the sound of Anne Murray. Brian at first insults her music, but Stewie wins him over by singing "You Needed Me", during which Brian flashes back to memories of playing as a puppy with his mother, then starts crying when it is done. While listening to "Snowbird", they disagree over the meaning of the lyrics and decide Murray needs to explain the song's true meaning. Traveling to Canada to see her, she gives them both credit along with her own explanation. When Brian uses the restroom, Anne tells Stewie that Gene MacLellan would have known more about the song, since he wrote it. Stewie ties up Murray and holds her at gunpoint, pronouncing her a fraud for not writing her own music. Brian returns and assures Stewie that this is standard in the music industry. Despite this, Stewie forces Anne to sing "Snowbird" while gagged and bound as a moose listens to the song. ReceptionThe episode received a 2.4 rating in the 18-49 demographic and was watched by a total of 4.87 million viewers. 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.[4] The episode was met with mixed reviews from critics. Alasdair Wilkins of The A.V. Club gave the episode a C, saying "Without a clear comedic target, this storyline mostly gets by on more observational, low-key humor", although he did praise the sub-plot, saying that "the Brian and Stewie story is considerably better."[5] Carter Dotson of TV Fanatic gave the episode one and a half stars out of five, saying "That they got the actual Anne Murray to voice herself in the episode was the funniest part of the storyline, which was otherwise unmemorable. There just was not a lot to laugh at."[6] References1. ^{{cite web|title=Family Guy Episode: "Chris Cross"|url=http://www.tvguide.com/tvshows/family-guy-2013/episode-13-season-11/chris-cross/100148|publisher=TV.com|accessdate=18 February 2013}} 2. ^{{cite web|title=Anne Murray On 'Family Guy': Why The Singer's 'Snowbird' Took Center Stage|url=http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/02/18/anne-murray-family-guy-snowbird_n_2710287.html|work=The Huffington Post|accessdate=21 February 2013|date=18 February 2013}} 3. ^{{cite web|last=Maga|first=Carly|title=Anne Murray guest stars on ‘Family Guy’|url=http://music.yahoo.com/blogs/north-stars/anne-murray-guest-stars-family-guy-190733836.html|publisher=Yahoo!
