Who Would Want This?

**"Who Would Want This?"** is the 2nd episode in Part 1 of *Bee and Puppycat Lazy in Space*.

## Official Synopsis

Tempbot has a lot of jobs lined up for Bee and Puppycat today. First up, the duo heads over to Snowglobe Planet to repair a music box.

## Plot

Puppycat discovers Pretty Patrick. After Bee fishes some snacks for them out of the toilet, Puppycat trashes Bee's house, inadvertently pressing a button on a remote that causes the power to go out in the entire house. He is later shocked to discover that she "lawfully abides" in her apartment and isn't just a squatter because of how messy it is.

Earlier that morning, Cardamon wakes up curled up next to his mother. While walking outside, he finds a pink remote control and a small fluffy dog, who is presented by two other puppies as if she were royalty. He takes her to work with him as a landlord, stopping first at the Wizard family house to collect rent. When Cas asks him to check on the scratching in the walls, they discover Toast has been hiding there.

Toast attacks Cas, imploring her to rejoin their wrestling cult, but Cas insists she's "normal" now because she's a coder instead of being a "weird" wrestler. They reminisce about how they met each other in the wrestling circuit and bonded over being the two worst wrestlers in their league. But when Toast beat Cas during their placement test, coupled with Cas's disgust of other people's bodies, she quit wrestling out of embarrassment. Cas kicks Toast out of the house, but she just bursts back in through another wall, stating that "true enemies cannot stay apart" and vowing to "find a way to make sure [Cas] will never be rid of [her]."

Cardamon visits Bee's apartment next and hands her the pink remote he found earlier. When Bee asks if his mom is up too, he answers that "she's still sleeping." Bee owes even more back rent than the Wizard family. Upon seeing Puppycat, Cardamon reminds her that pets aren't allowed; however he suggests that Puppycat may stay if Bee agrees to betroth him to his new dog whom he has named Sticky. Before Bee can answer, the overflowing toilet catches Cardamon's attention and he insists that Bee and Puppycat retreat to the other side of the island to give him room to fix it. At the beach, they decide to do temp work to get enough money to pay the back rent.

Instead of one big job, Tempbot gives them a lot of jobs: Snowglobe Planet needs a music box repaired, Jellycube Planet requires its giant cherry to be fertilized, and a giant eye is creeping out the residents of Cloudworld. Bee and Puppycat find the broken music box hidden in the floor and attempt to put the characters in the right place, but they keep getting it wrong. They give up and go to Jellycube Planet, where the giant cherry sprouts flowers that feed the residents in exchange for gum. But several long black hands grab the cherry in the background and Puppycat rushes Bee away before she can see.

On Cloudworld, Puppycat eats a ham leg which causes him to become very tall and buff, and he uses his new form to punch the creepy eye so hard it dissolves into glitter. As Bee claps, the hands appear again and Puppycat rushes to leave. They return to Snowglobe planet where they are finally able to fix the musicbox. Bee comments that the lullaby in the music box is sad and wonders who would want it fixed. The black hands grab for them too late as they portal through Tempbot's mouth. One hand appears to grab the music box.

When Bee and Puppycat return home, Cardamon confirms that the rent money they earned is sufficient. He tells them that he will need to get supplies to fix the toilet from the store and chastises Bee for her messy home. At the store, Cardamon buys a toy fishing rod and some groceries, mostly consisting of gummy candies.

Bored, Bee and Puppycat decide to ask Tempbot if she would let them watch the Pretty Patrick Lunchtime Marathon on her screen. Tempbot is surprised and flattered when they say they stopped by to say hello but then becomes upset when they ask to watch the TV marathon on her. She retaliates by sending them on a job, telling them, "never try to look at me for half an hour ever again."

Bee is impressed by Catbath Planet, a spa where the cats are obsessed with Bee and treat her like a pet while ignoring Puppycat. They find a TV, but when Bee gets food on her uniform, the cats insist on giving her a bath despite her protests. Suddenly, the black hands erupt from the bath and Bee and Puppycat have to run to escape. The cats distract the arms by soliciting belly rubs, giving the duo enough time to make it to Tempbot before the arms can reach them.

Meanwhile, Cardamon goes down a spiral staircase in his mother's room that leads to a basement. Here, a chair is lit up and he presses a series of buttons to turn it off, restoring power to the house. Afterwards, he uses his toy fishing rod to unclog the toilet. When Bee and Puppycat return, the lights are on, the apartment is clean, and Cardamon left them a note on the TV.

> No more storing cans in the toilet or I will increse your rent. Also, I taped youre show 4 you. His favorite food is mashed potatoes.

At home, Cardamon fixes himself a plate of gummies. When he brings it to the bedroom, his sleeping mother appears to be connected via cords to several machines and is surrounded by several other plates of what looks like gummies. He sets down the plate and curls up next to his mother to fall asleep.
