Continuity mistake: When Lois is saying "I feel so foolish, it seemed like such a good cause", Meg and Stewie disappear from the chair she was sitting on. (00:13:25)
Answer: Lacey Chabert was the actress who originally voiced Meg in early episodes. She left of her own accord due to being in school and other acting work; Seth MacFarlane has stated there was no tension with her leaving, but it makes for a handy joke for the show.
