Later Deuce and Kate want to make love but Deuce breaks the chain on the lamp and has to find a chair to reach the broken part. He enters the kitchen where Cassie is sitting on a stool. Cassie jumps to the floor as Deuce takes the stool. This might have been a set up for a joke to follow that never happens.

Cassie the cat only appears one more time as Kate is telling Deuce to go away. Bergita is in the kitchen breaking eggs and accidentally dumps one of them on Cassie’s head. According to the Animal Humane Association the egg was gently dropped on the cat by its trainer and it was immediately wiped off.
