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

Synopsis: Rex (Robert Capron) is a delinquent boy who throws eggs at “crazy cat lady” Ms. Hibou’s (Christina Jastrzembska) house and blames his friends when he gets caught after breaking his arm in a fall.  He continues to lie about the incident despite the fact that something seems to be living inside of his cast.

Cat Cattle Call: Ms. Hibou’s house is full of cats, as we are to believe from the number of cats we see just on her front porch.

The cats seem to follow Rex, showing up in places and then disappearing, as in school and his bedroom.
