Gentle Touch

**"Gentle Touch"** is the 4th episode in Part 1 of *Bee and Puppycat Lazy in Space*.

## Official Synopsis

Deckard cashes in an IOU card he got from Bee by asking her to look after his family while he’s away at culinary school.

## Plot

The episode begins with a flashback at the cat cafe. In it, Deckard makes Bee a gelatin to enjoy in her nap cabinet in exchange for an IOU card. When Howell finds Bee in the nap cabinet, which is really just the front desk, he tells her to get back to work before walking through the kitchen to encourage his siblings to keep up the hard work.

After Merlin arrives, Howell gathers everyone outside for a family photo. He tells them to line up in order from oldest to youngest, but puts himself last even though Cas comments that he should go in the middle. Deckard and Cas suggest that Bee should be in the photo because "she's been with [them] since [they] were little," and she gets there just in time before the camera flash.

In the present, Bee reads a note from Deckard explaining that he's cashing in the IOU from that day. Bee explains to Puppycat that an IOU s "like a promise to do something later if someone does something for you right away." Included in the letter is the family photo with Bee. When she starts explaining to Puppycat who everyone is, he interrupts her to ask about Wesley. But before Bee can tell him, Wesley appears on their front doorstep.

> Dear Bee,
>  Thank you for helping me decide to go to "Cooking Academy".
>  I know that while I'm gone you'll help to make sure my family and everything is fine.
>  I'm sorry for not saying goodbye. Please text me.
> So the next time I see you, I'll finally know how o bake a proper dessert.
> –Deckard

Puppycat is immediately obsessed with Wesley, squealing that "he looks even cooler in person!!!" Wesley is there to cash in another of Bee's IOUs to get help fishing. Puppycat tries to impress Wesley by imitating him but embarrasses himself when it fails spectacularly and Wesley notices. Wesley catches a sick fish from the ocean that got stuck in something he identifies as one of Bee's things. He tells her that she'll have to go get all her stuff sometime, and she replies that she doesn't like being underwater.

Later, Bee doesn't want to help Wesley bring the fish into the cat cafe because she can't face Howell after being fired. Wesley tempts her to come in by telling her about the ultra cut kittens of her favorite cat, and when she sees Puppycat practicing his punching on them, she rushes inside. When she hears Howell's voice, she hides in her old nap closet which is now full of paperwork and overdue bills. Realizing that the cafe is struggling without Deckard, she jumps out of the closet and asks Howell for a table. She proceeds to make a strange order full of several different dishes, which Wesley only agrees to cook if Howell will let him move his fish into the bathroom. After getting the unappetizing food, Bee realizes that she forgot her wallet at home, so she and Puppycat go to Temp Space to get a job.

Tempbot warns them to be careful because "strange things [have been] happening out on jobs lately" before showing them footage of long black hands "in space camouflage" ravaging planets that Bee and Puppycat had jobs on. Tempbot then sends them to Fuzzy Planet, where they need to help the Fuzzies release their baby sacks to send their babies "into the universe." Puppycat punches the baby sacks as hard as he can, but when everyone complements him on his gentle punches, it enrages him. Meanwhile, Bee texts a picture of the fuzzies to Deckard and they chat.

    The fuzzy babies explode from the sacks and float into the black hands which wait nearby, causing an allergic reaction that distracts the hands from finding Bee and Puppycat. One of the hands presses a green ring, releasing a little ghost, but Puppycat has spotted them and is now purposefully punching the baby sacks in their direction to deter them.

After the job is complete, Bee insists on paying Howell even though he reveals that he wasn't planning to charge her. Howell teases her but takes the money and thanks her for encouraging Deckard to go to culinary school before inviting her to come back again.
