Wikipedia plot summary as of 30Oct22 (lightly edited by RDE):

While at the Halloween Carnival with his family and friends, Peter stumbles across the owner of a hologram-themed attraction, who shows off a device that can create interactive holograms. After bribing the inventor Peter decides to make a hologram based on the best version of himself to get out of menial tasks, and while he enjoys this at first, he grows jealous after seeing his hologram kiss Lois. The hologram agrees to disappear after being confronted, but turns on his creator and vows to take his [Peter's] family for his own while keeping him trapped in the basement. Lois soon discovers that this new Peter is a fake after noticing his unusually excellent hygiene, but she and the children are trapped by him when they try to escape. The two Peters brawl, with the hologram ultimately vanishing after Stewie creates an electrical [... charge] via [generating] static [electricity]. After reconciling with his family, Peter later suggests they spend time together, only for Lois to suspect that he made another hologram.[5]

Dialog directly references holograms acting in the material world on Star Trek; fans and students of Star Trek will note "The Doctor" in Voyager and holodeck/holosuite episodes in ST:NG and later.[6][7][8]
