## Plot

In the Break Room after Amy announces no Cloud 9 stores will have anyone in a bunny costume, Glenn asks who'd like to come to his church's Passion play. Singling out Cheyenne and Garrett, they make excuses until Sandra volunteers to go. Glenn mentions that the audience will be so large, he wouldn't notice if anyone was there so everyone says they'll go. In the store, Glenn has difficulty while practising his line with Cheyenne and Jonah for his small part in the play. He receives a call that he's now required to play Judas and gets frantic. In the Surveillance Office, Dina sees someone in a bunny costume on the monitor and yells for Amy. When Amy arrives, the bunny is gone from the monitor and switching feeds, Amy is surprised that the Break Room has a hidden camera in it.

Questioning the legality of spying on the staff, she stops when she sees Mateo mimicking her. Learning there's an audio feed, she gives in and lets Dina turn it on. She listens to Carol and Mateo make fun of her. Glenn reads the script for his new part and doubts he can play the bad guy. Cheyenne and Jonah get him to tap into something bad he did during his childhood. Dina sees the bunny in the store but loses it during a chase. Asking Sandra if she saw the bunny, Sandra is ignorant and doesn't think the bunny is a big deal. Dina believes the person in the costume could be a threat and insists Sandra call her on the walkie if she sees it. Talking to Mateo, Amy stops doing an action she heard Mateo critisize and he lies that he loves it.

Amy speaks to Jonah about Mateo's lie, but he's more concerned that the Break Room camera has replaced a smoke detector. He isn't successful getting her to accept that staff always complain about the boss. She asks for details of what else the staff have said about her resulting in Jonah back-tracking. Glenn tries role-playing his part with Garrett who uses it as an opportunity to make fun of him. In the Surveillance office, Amy and Jonah listen to the staff make fun of her while Amy takes notes on what she should change about herself. Saying she's going to drive herself nuts, Jonah stops and listens to Garrett compliment his shirt. He's pleasantly surprised as Garrett never says nice things about him. Dina makes a P.A. announcement that the bunny is dangerous and should be avoided.

While making Easter baskets, Jonah tries to get Garrett to compliment his shirt to his face but Garrett is ambivalent. A girl eats a large chocolate display bunny. (♫ Len - Steal My Sunshine ♫) Amy approaches a group of staff and acts in a manner to address all their criticisms. Confused about her odd behaviour, Sayid won't stop replying to Amy's "thank yous." Glenn practises various bad guy routines in a mirror. A boy sits on top of an end cap of toys and throws one down. (♫ Everclear - Father of Mine ♫) In the Break Room, the staff discuss Amy's behaviour while Jonah nervously looks at the smoke detector and unsuccessfully tries to change the subject.

Sayid realizes Jonah isn't comfortable with them making fun of Amy until Cheyenne says that Jonah made fun of her the previous week. The staff mock what Jonah said until he swears at them and Mateo catches Jonah looking at the smoke detector. Once Jonah leaves the Break Room, Cheyenne tells the staff she drugged Amy's coffee. Amy runs in screaming, revealing that she's been spying on them. Cheyenne says she didn't drug her coffee and Amy is caught. Jonah pays Garrett several compliments, hoping to get one in return, but is disappointed. Dina continues to look for the bunny on the surveillance monitors. In the Warehouse, the bunny surprises Sandra from behind and takes the costume head off to reveal Jerry. Dressed up so he can spend the day with Sandra without Carol knowing about it, Sandra leads him to the Photo Lab to have sex.

In the Break Room, the staff scold Amy while Glenn takes down the camera. Cheyenne wonders where else they're being spied on in the store leading Carol to worry that she's being watched when she masturbates in the store bathroom. Jonah tells the staff to not talk about people behind their backs and Sayid wonders who says good things about people when they aren't present. Mateo opines that everyone complains about the boss which Glenn worries happened when he was manager. On the monitors, Dina sees the bunny in the store behind Sandra. Calling her on the walkie, Sandra pretends she doesn't see it. Later, Dina worries that she's going crazy as it seems she's the only one who has seen the bunny. Seeking comfort from Sandra, she doesn't provide it and says Dina might be losing it.

Sandra leaves and Dina sees the bunny and closes her eyes. A customer throws a cup in a glass cage containing a bunny. (♫ Sara Bareilles - Love Song ♫) Jonah interrupts Garrett helping two customers and yells at him for not paying him a compliment to his face. After shouting several nice things about Garrett, he leaves in a huff. Garrett tells the customers that Jonah is his best friend. In the store, Amy approaches a group of staff and apologizes for spying on them. Making a hand gesture which the staff had made fun of, Cheyenne snickers and sends Mateo a text. He snorts at the text, leading Amy to ask about it. Lying that the text was from his mother, Amy demands to see it so Mateo throws his phone on the floor, smashing it.
