This review contains a very mild Kitty Carnage Warning!
Cat Out of the Bag Alert! This review contains spoilers for this episode!
Synopsis: Frankie (Patricia Heaton) tries to help her daughter Sue (Eden Sher) become more popular on Facebook while Brick (Atticus Shaffer) and Axl (Charlie McDermott) try to make internet stars out of some baby animals.
Cat Burglars (Scene Stealers): In addition to some bunnies, Brick manages to obtain two Siamese mix kittens.
Not knowing what to do with the animals, Axl hits upon the idea of making them internet stars. Together the brothers star the kittens and bunnies in a James Bond-style video. The kitten is Bond and the bunnies his love interests.
In a later scene the other kitten plays the villain. Bond escapes in a toy convertible car.
The toy car and kitten races across the living room behind Frankie. Note the kitten in this shot is likely a fake one.
While making a scene in a shower Axl tries to fiugre out how a kitten should seduce a bunny.
At the end of the episode we see a photo of Sue holding the bunnies and kittens on the internet.
Brick and Axl are then giving away the kittens outside a store, insisting the kitten brothers need to be kept together.
Very Mild Kitty Carnage Warning: Unfortunately as Brick and Axl manipulate the kittens for their videos, there is a little bit of scruffing and rough handling going on, but it is not violent or prolonged. Between takes the boys tend to hold the kittens properly.
Final Mewsings: Kittens do not choose to star in internet videos.
