Cat Out of the Bag Alert! This review contains spoilers for this episode!

Synopsis: A road trip with the family goes awry thanks to ALF.

Kitty Cameo: At the end of the episode ALF is showing the family slides of their vacation. They complain that they have already seen them but ALF explains that Lucky, the family’s cat, hasn’t seen them yet.

Lucky sits quietly next to the slide projector during this scene as ALF details the end of the disastrous trip. Fortunately for Lucky, ALF does not try to eat him (although at the beginning of the episode he asked Kate for a casserole dish because “the cat won’t fit in the toaster.”)
