"Takened" is the second segment of the sixty-fourth episode of Big City Greens.
==Synopsis==
When Remy throws Vasquez a surprise party, Bill's secret-keeping is put to the test.
==Plot==
Cricket has his family help Remy prepare for Vasquez' 10th year "Bodyguard-iversary". While Tilly and Gramma Alice partake in one job, Cricket plans to spend the day with Remy collecting important items and tasks Bill with the most important job: distracting Vasquez. Despite Bill's hesitance, Cricket insists that he will do a good job and that if he needs to lie, to "just roll with it". Remy and Vasquez arrive with Bill nervous to even speak to the bodyguard. Cricket and Remy go to the former's room, only to sneak away. When Vasquez notices how quiet they are, he checks and is convinced that they have been kidnapped. Going by Cricket's advice, Bill agrees and is suddenly whisked away, via helicopter.
Cricket and Remy go to the balloon store, ice cream parlor and other places to collect things for the party, only for Remy to turn into a "bridezilla", much to Cricket's annoyance. Vasquez is convinced that the Order of the Fang kidnapped the children and takes Bill to their secret headquarters, which is located on an isolated island. Bill finds himself caught in the middle of violent interactions and calls Cricket for help, though he fails to listen. Vasquez is soon convinced that Bill is a member of the Fang and, once again listening to Cricket, agrees with this reveal; claiming to be "Moose Fang". Vasquez locks him in the hideout's dungeon while he continues his search.
Bill once again calls Cricket and admits that he may have failed. When Cricket tells him he is the most reliable, this invigorates Bill and he manages to escape the dungeon by whittling a key. He hijacks the helicopter and rescues Vasquez from Viper Fang as the two of successfully escape. Back at Remy's house, Remy has become completely inconsolable and believes that the party is a disaster, only for Bill and Vasquez to crash their helicopter through the roof. Vasquez learns the truth and thanks everyone for throwing his bodyguard-iversary. Bill fails to explain what he was up to when Cricket points out how crazy Remy was acting; which Bill seems to concur with.

==Trivia==
*The title is most likely a reference to the Liam Neeson film series Taken. However, the plot of the episode feels similar to The In-Laws which involved a mild mannered dentist who discovers that the father of his son's fiancé is an FBI agent and is unwillingly dragged into international incident.
*The episode reveals that Remy is most likely 10-years-old as Tilly states that Vasquez has been his bodyguard his whole life and the balloons say that it is his 10th Bodyguard-iversary.
*Moral: Your dependence can help you accomplish anything.
