Cat Out of the Bag Alert!  This review contains spoilers for this episode!

Synopsis: This episode explores the background story of Laura (Emily Browning) and how she first became acquainted with Shadow (Ricky Whittle).

Featured Feline: After work Laura returns home every night to her long-haired tuxedo colored cat Dummy (a cute name considering she’s a casino dealer). She leaves the television on for Dummy while she is away and cartoons are playing on the screen when she gets home and turns it off.
