Vinny found himself in a confrontation with Brian, who was still under the influence of the Pibby Corruption. This dark force had convinced Brian that Vinny was destined to take his place after his demise. Having been corrupted for so long, Brian was a formidable opponent. Armed with his axe, Vinny faced him head-on. During their battle, Vinny experienced a moment of semi-corruption but managed to break free briefly. However, he was soon partially corrupted again, and Brian transformed into a massive, grotesque dog-like creature, covered in sludge that expanded as he grew. It seemed like Vinny was doomed, but then a car screeched onto the scene—Consuela had run over Brian, leaving him silent and his fate uncertain. Seizing the opportunity, Vinny quickly escaped with Consuela, driving out of Quahog to evade the Pibby Corruption and avoid the same fate as Brian and others.
