As the detectives arrive at the clinic to start questioning the staff, senior vet Craig Tilman (Will Wallace) is placing a cat carrier containing a fluffy longhair black and white cat on the counter as he instructs receptionist Brianna (Phoenix Connolly) to book a return appointment in a fortnight.
