Again for the First Time

"Again for the First Time" is the 1st episode in Part 1 of Bee and Puppycat Lazy in Space. 
== Official Synopsis ==
Bee feels a little dejected when she’s fired from her job, but then a cute little cat — or is it a dog? — falls out of the sky right onto her umbrella.
== Plot ==
The series begins with Bee putting out a fire with her bare hands at the cat cafe which Deckard started when he attempted to bake for a customer. Howell, the cafe owner and Deckard's older brother, walks in just as the smoke is clearing and hands Bee a note firing her before sauntering away. Bee and Deckard stay and chat, and Deckard brushes off the possibility of going to Cooking Prince Academy, saying they would never certify him because he can't bake. After he jokes about getting fired, Bee opens her umbrella and abruptly leaves instead of revealing that she has, in fact, been fired. She mumbles "goodbye forever" as she walks out the door. 
On the walk home, Bee muses that she would like a pet because it would be nice to have something to take care of. Suddenly, Puppycat falls from the sky in a beam of pink light and bounces off her umbrella and into the street. Bee picks him up and wonders if he's a cat or a dog before continuing home with him.
Later, Deckard visits Bee with a home-cooked meal to apologize. He asks Bee if she was just never going to tell him that she got fired, but she accidentally hits him in the crotch with her umbrella. Deckard leaves the plate of food on Bee's doorstep and limps home to get help from his sister Cas who used to be a pro wrestler and knows how to deal with injuries. Cas encourages Deckard to go to Cooking Prince Academy. However, he solemnly assures her "No, I want to give up on my dreams. Like you did." and they both laugh awkwardly.
That night, Bee dreams about floating in space, where she looks at a large bunny-like covered in glowing symbols as several mini Puppycats float around her, circling her head. In the dream, the cats fly into her hair, causing a current of electricity that travels down her body and explodes at her arm, sending several colorful ribbons and the mini Puppycats gushing out.
In the morning, Bee is woken by her phone alarm that declares "you're late!" and rushes to the employment agency. The temp agent declares that she has been fired from every job on the island, and it will be impossible to find another job. Bee retaliates by stealing several things from his office to bring back home to Puppycat. Back home, Bee discovers that Puppycat can talk "with an accent" and explains to him what a pet is. When she explains that she doesn't have any money, Puppycat nonchalantly taps the bell on his collar, causing a magical envelope to appear to Bee's great surprise. It is a letter of employment from Temp Space, and when he presses his paw to the letter while touching Bee, it sends them there.
Temp Space is a liminal space where Tempbot delivers jobs to temp workers. When Tempbot wants to terminate Bee for security purposes, Puppycat tells her that Bee is his assistant and they watch the training video, which allows them to work their first job together. When Puppycat asks for an "easy baby assignment," Tempbot purposefully misunderstands and assigns them to watch a baby on Daycare Planet. Puppycat recognizes the baby, stating, "I know this baby...but there were more parts to it last time."The baby cries and asks for its mama, so Puppycat tells it to "shut up" and sings a lullaby. As he sings, silhouettes act out the song.
The baby is eerily calm before suddenly corrupting and shooting a beam of light from its mouth, from which several tentacles erupt. A two mouthed woman emerges and calls Puppycat a liar for making people look up to a monster in his song. She swipes at him and Bee, and as Puppycat jumps back the silhouette of the Space Outlaw briefly glows. A fight ensues, and Puppycat instructs Bee to use her bell to obtain a sword. After she frees him, he tells her to hold him in her arms and cock his tail. This causes a beam of light to shoot out of his mouth, cutting double mouth in half and destroying her. As she's dying, she tells Puppycat that she's not the only one after him and he can't run away forever.
The job completed, Bee and Puppycat walk back through Tempbot's mouth and are transported home along with the money they earned. Puppycat falls fast asleep and Bee uses the money to buy snacks. Deckard asks Bee if she wants to hang out later, and she responds "Now!" before coming over. Thinking there are robbers in the house, Cas finds them in the kitchen trying to meal prep with odds and ends from the 24 hour convenience store. As Deckard and bee talk, she brings up her dad's arcade. 
Puppycat dreams about babysitting Bee when she was a toddler. After playing at the arcade, they pass by another toddler with green-blue hair eating an ice cream. Puppycat steals the ice cream for Bee, then takes her to the beach. As the sun is setting, Bee's dad thanks Puppycat for watching her, stating that she has a lot of energy and hasn't slept for a few days. Puppycat rings his bell and leaves for a temp job as Bee's dad apologizes that his ship isn't done yet and assures him "we'll all find a way to let you know when it is."
