Stewie Griffin is finally sitting down for a long-overdue therapy session.

previously reported, Sir Ian McKellen will guest-star in an upcoming episode of Family Guy as the voice of Stewie’s therapist. And in a recent interview with TVLine, executive producer Rich Appel revealed that Stewie’s sexuality is among the topics they’ll be addressing — though he adds that it’s merely “the tip of the iceberg.”

“It’s just a two-character episode with Stewie in his therapist’s office for the first time,” Appel says. “It’s a wonderful episode, and Seth’s performance is spectacular. They delve into all sorts of things you would think would come up in a therapy session with a boy like Stewie. When Stewie’s with his therapist, they pretty immediately address questions of sexuality. The episode covers that, and then goes to deeper issues for Stewie.”
