Day Off Work

**"Day Off Work"** is the 6th episode in Part 1 of *Bee and Puppycat Lazy in Space*.

## Official Synopsis

It’s Cas’s day off, and she has big plans. To start with, she puts on all the face masks she’s been hoarding, totally creeping everyone out.

## Plot

Puppycat wakes suddenly one night during a storm and calls out for Bee. When she doesn't answer, he frantically runs around the apartment searching for her and trashing the place. He decides to make a tracking device using four miniature people he found in a ball. He ties one of the people to a cricket and the others to a pink paddle. As the cricket hops around, the three miniature people point in the direction of their missing friend.

Meanwhile, Bee is at the 24 hour convenience store looking for a gift for Puppycat that will show him that she cares about him. After talking to Narb, the cashier, she decides to get a microwavable egg and a lot of snacks, including a bright red candy that stains her tongue and teeth. As Bee walks home, the ocean glows and sparkles.

At home, Puppycat accidentally swallows the cricket with the tracking device. Even though he acts nonchalant when Bee gets home, she figures out that he tore up the apartment looking for her. Bee is touched that he loves her, even though he denies it, and tries to reassure him that she's "always around" because "it takes a lot for [her] to leave the apartment." When her microwavable egg gift gets thrown behind the couch, Puppycat gets stuck trying to reach it. He stubbornly refuses Bee's help, so, offended, she leaves him stuck under the couch to run errands, starting with putting the red candy and other snacks into the toilet which gets stained red.

    That morning, Cas is woken up by her alarm singing "it's your day off work" over and over again. She rushes to the bathroom where she gleefully puts on all the face masks that she's been hoarding. Outside, Bee puts the tears from Cardamon's mom into a watering can and waters the garden, but they continue to cause disturbing deformations in the plants, including a rose full of eyes, wiggling grapes, and a flower with a kissy lips.

Back at home Puppycat has maneuvered behind the couch and punched a hole in the wall. Behind the wall, he finds an empty room with a spiral staircase. When he runs towards the stairs, he falls through a missing floorboard and into a vertical duct. He hits the pipes in the duct to try to get his egg, rerouting the toilet water to the rest of the house, but when it falls past him, he lets go to continue chasing the egg. When Bee gets home, she finds Puppycat's tracking device and the hole in the wall, so she uses the tracking device to search for him.

In the Wizard house, Cas has covered her face in so many face masks that they protrude several feet in front of her and she can't remove them. When Toast runs into her in the hallway, she runs away crying thinking a stranger is in the house. She and Merlin perform a demonic ritual to increase her power so she can defeat her mysterious enemy from the hallway, and Toast pledges to Zorzox that she will abuse and enjoy her power if it is doubled. Crispin questions why Merlin is going along with the ritual, but he meekly replies that he doesn't know how she got so strong.

    Puppycat falls into Cardamon's basement, ejecting the cricket, and exclaims, "Hey, it's all my stuff!" He sits in his chair and accidentally short circuits it, causing the house to lose power. He also finds a transporter gun that will transport him and anything he's touching to wherever he points it. Puppycat transports himself around the basement and back into the ducts. Bee finds him using the tracking device, and punches a hole in the wall to let him out into the Wizard family house. Distracted by a dead mouse that he brought back to life, Puppycat transports himself around the house, picking up objects and Wizard siblings along the way and generally causing chaos and confusion. Merlin and Toast end up punching the masks off of Cas, and Bee is able to break up the mass of people and sends everyone home. As Puppycat falls asleep, she notices the tracking device in his mouth.

When Cardamon gets home and notices that the power is out and red water is coming out of his sink, he removes a trap door in his mother's room to access the basement and uses his hammer to fix the pipes before resetting the circuit breaker. He lets Sticky sit on Puppycat's chair to "be pampered temporarily" and accidentally clicks a button that reveals a secret compartment with a ring in it. He presses another button and the chair begins to whir and give them a gentle massage as Cardamon giggles.
