The Big Cheese hasn't paid his minions in three weeks, so Bad Bird gets a job at the Samurai Pizza Parlour, failing to recognize the Cats in their civilian clothes. For the first time in his life Bad Bird knows real job satisfaction, and is torn between his duty to live up to the evil legacy of his father, and his desire to seek his own path to personal happiness. Bad Bird and Speedy form a bond of friendship, which shows up in later episodes.
