Hey, Mittens!
Mittens!
Hmm.
Why don't you clean up your mess, Mittens?
-I don't answer to you. -Oh.
Your simp owner's not here.
You answer to all of us.
Why don't you clean up your mess like a cat would?
Hmm.
I just climbed out of a hole.
Ah!
Ryan make you wash his socks yet?
Of course not. Besides, I have bigger problems.
I looked into all the board members, but I can't figure out which might be Ray.
Let me take this for today.
-Get out of house-pet status first. -I can do both.
You're a house pet with no money.
And there's only one week left to make it to the Top Ten.
No one will even gamble with you. Kira's orders.
Side bets are out too, Mittens.
Hmm!
Hi, uggo. You're late for laundry detail.
-Laundry detail? -Oh my gosh. Come on.
It's not that hard.
Yumeko is alone, broke, and demoralized.
In other words, a wounded animal.
Nothing more dangerous. Ideas?
Why not just kill her?
Oh, boom.
Maybe we bring back an old favorite.
Seriously?
Don't tease.
It's time to revive the House-Pet Hunt.
Yes!
Oh yeah!
After collection, it's four hours of washing and folding.
Thursdays are gym days, so bring a mask.
-Welcome to paradise. -Incoming!
I can't do this all day. I have to gamble.
Isn't gambling what got you here in the first place, precious?
Mmm.
Suki smells so good.
Yumeko. Come with me.
Wendy?
Ugh!
Where are we?
Student Council thinks they know everything.
But us house pets,
we have secrets of our own.
What is this?
Your ticket out of the underworld.
See, house pets will do anything for their freedom.
And there's no bigger payout
than the House-Pet Hunt.
-These house pets went free? -It was our only real way out.
Until the House-Pet Hunt was… banned three years ago.
Why was it banned?
People died.
Some by accident.
The real question is,
why was it allowed in the first place?
Hmm.
This is the second time you've helped me.
Some people aren't happy with the status quo.
And when you introduced side bets,
you brought hope.
I need to get into the Top Ten.
That is impossible for a house pet.
You don't have any money to bet.
Unless…
you take advantage of the special hunt rule
and bet your debt.
It's a risk.
I like risk.
What are we hunting for?
Again, you're asking the wrong question.
The House-Pet Hunt?
Where owners and house pets team up
to risk their lives for Council's amusement?
I can bet my debt, Ryan. This is my chance.
You know they banned the House-Pet Hunt for a reason, right?
People lose their minds over it. And sometimes a lot more.
No risk, no fun!
Maybe we should cool it with the gambling for a minute, you know?
-Regroup, come back stronger. -I know what you're doing.
You're trying to protect me. But I'm already a house pet.
Yes…
It can get worse.
Okay, we can find another way to get you out of debt.
Look how hard it was to get Mary out. And she had both of us helping her.
I win this, it puts me back in control.
Hey, but I… I can't do it without you.
Please.
Uh… Okay. I'm in.
Thank you.
Oh!
I found a treasure trove in the basement.
It could lead us to Ray.
-Attention. -Hmm…
The House-Pet Hunt will begin in 30 minutes.
I have to go.
Nice drawing. Really, uh… leaps off the page.
It's a map. Follow it, find Ray.
Everyone will be focused on the House-Pet Hunt.
You'll have the place to yourself.
Oh… Oof!
-Oh. -What are you doing here?
Oh, hey. Yeah, uh, funny story.
I got lost.
Oh, that's interesting.
-Grr! -Put him down.
-No. -I'm Student Council.
You answer to Runa, which means you answer to me.
And no one touches Mikey without my say-so.
-It's Michael. -Okay, fine.
Go build a dam.
Ha-ha. Good one.
-I followed you. -Mm-hmm. I got it.
-Aren't you gonna tell me to go away? -Aren't you gonna follow me anyway?
-So it's a date. -No, it's not.
-We're looking for a library. -Cheap date.
Okay… Actually, I think it's over there.
Welcome, everyone, to St. Dominic's House-Pet Hunt.
Back by popular demand after a brief…
pause.
Are you excited?
Yay! Yeah!
-Tame your bitch. -Back off, Sean.
Contenders, you will be hunting for these jeweled eggs
hidden in the St. Dominic's ravine.
Each egg has a different pretend value,
with the golden egg being worth 100,000.
But there's a twist.
You house pets will not only be on the hunt,
you will also be the hunted.
Oh, nice!
Oh, chic.
Owners, you have the ability to block the other house pets
by any means necessary.
Hey.
Kira has cameras everywhere,
and she'll be able to guide Chad and Suki to the high-value eggs.
Thanks, Mary.
I bet on you. Don't choke.
Yeah, good pep talk.
Bold move, gambling your entire debt.
You could win your freedom.
Or lose it all.
Of course, anything could happen out there.
You could trip, fall, break your neck.
It's a good thing you're not dragging any dead weight.
Oh!
Anyone who quits or leaves the forest before sundown
gets an automatic expulsion.
Just keeps gettin' better and better.
Whatever it takes.
May the House-Pet Hunt begin.
Ayy, sexy motherlovers Sippin' on some brown liquor…
Hold up!
Huh?
No!
-Come on! -No! No!
Help!
Come and get it!
Oh! Ow!
Word coming in that Rex has been shot.
Now, this is a surprising entry into the competition.
As I think everyone knows,
Rex would rather sacrifice a limb
than let Suki disown him.
But if there's one thing I know,
it's that the hunt is always full of surprises.
And still no word on some of the weaker teams.
Faster, Yumeko!
If Kira's guiding Chad and Suki to the high-value eggs,
we should be following them.
Uh, no!
We should keep as much distance between us and those psychopaths as possible.
Ah! Keep your enemies close!
Do you ever give up?
Fine. Lead the way.
Have to get back onto Council. Miss the perks.
It's rude to bring a plus-one without asking the host.
A word, sister.
Don't make yourself too comfortable.
Odds-on favorites Chad and Lassie are off to a strong start.
The dynamic duo have been turning a lot of heads
with their… primal approach to the hunt.
Stop! Turn around.
They're behind us. Trust me.
Let's go!
Oh! Uh… didn't we pass this tree?
-I thought you knew these woods. -Well, woods change.
They… they grow. Uh…
Okay, I'm sure Chad went this way.
Stop moving so I can shoot you!
Aim higher. No, no, lower.
Left!
What?
Die!
Wait.
They must've doubled back. Tell Kira we're still on Yumeko's trail.
Gotcha!
-They're not even trying to win. -No. They're just after you.
No! Watch it…
This is the most boring date I've ever been on.
Again, not a date.
I saved you from a beaver.
It's a date.
Ugh, it's my mom. And…
Wait.
Michael, is this your dad?
They dated.
If they got back together, we could be stepsiblings.
It's the hottest kind of siblings.
Okay. Bored now, stepbro.
We're done here.
Finally.
Okay, I think… we lost them.
-I really don't wanna shoot anyone. -You won't. You're a terrible shot.
You were yanking my chain.
We're running out of time. We need to get our heads in the game.
-Okay. -This way!
-What? -Uh, I…
I have to pee. Just quickly.
We're a mess.
-Agreed. -Nice shot!
I really am a good shot.
-Hmm! -Whoa.
Oh, I don't know
What can I do? What else…
What are you doing?
Up to you…
-Target practice. -I know we're one
Just me and you
I can't go on
What is love?
Baby, don't hurt me…
-Don't hold back. -Don't hurt me…
-Feel. -No more
What is love?
Baby, don't hurt me
Don't hurt me
No more
I don't know why you're not fair…
-Did you feel that? -I give you my love…
-Yes. -But you don't care…
-Yeah. -So what is right?
And what is wrong?
Give me a sign…
They're being hunted for sport and acting like it's a date.
What are they doing? Trauma bonding?
I'm not jealous, if that's what you're thinking.
No more…
What is love?
Baby, don't hurt me…
You don't need to wear those.
Don't hurt me no more…
Everyone's ashamed to be a house pet.
It's what Kira wants.
But I'm not ashamed.
When I'm your pet, I feel like we're more partners.
Partners?
You look good with a crossbow.
You know what?
Oh, I don't know…
I'm way too focused on Yumeko and less focused on myself.
It's up to you
-I know we're… -I need to put me first for once.
Just me and you
I can't go on…
Although…
I can make one exception.
Now?
Can you hit that camera?
Wait!
I got it!
Gotcha, slut!
Fuck me, I broke a nail!
Gah! Gone!
Yumeko, your leg.
All right, you need to elevate it.
Of course you were a Scout.
-Don't need to be to know this is serious. -I'm fine, Ryan.
-It's just a scratch. -Oh shit.
Okay, what you don't wanna do is…
That.
Just… Okay, be careful.
Okay.
Just let me know if this is too tight, okay?
Hmm.
We should head back.
-No. -You can't even put weight on it.
We have to keep playing.
Why is winning so important? Like…
Why do you even care about the Top Ten?
I… I can't explain. I just need you to trust me.
I… I do trust you.
I just wish you trusted me.
Aw. Poor Yumeko.
What happened?
Looks like you made a bad bet.
Excuse me.
God! I have to do everything myself.
Oh! Not again!
Ugh…
Oh, pretty!
Oh!
-Aah! -Ugh…
Be careful.
Look! The $100,000 egg.
-We get it, and we win. -Wait, think.
It's out there in the open. There's no one else here.
-It's a trap. -It's fate.
What? Ryan!
Aah! Let me get it!
No! Bloody hell, she's lost it.
-We can make it. -No! We can't!
Come on! I'm… I'm not afraid of her!
-You should be! -Just…
You think Kira's bluffing?
She will kill you.
-I'll take that chance. -Yumeko!
There's something worse than being a house pet.
But I… I need this! I need this, I need this. Please!
I won't let you. I can't.
Come on.
You're right.
Never touch me again.
No! Please, you can't expel me.
Please, I'm on the honor roll.
Your winners, Suki and Rex!
Just to be clear, you're still mine, puppy.
Okay! Mwah.
Yeah! That's so good!
Oh my God, we won, Rex!
Should we get drunk?
-Hey, listen. I… It's… -I said…
-There's still tonight! -Nice!
You were gonna get yourself killed. I had to stop you.
Kira was right.
You know you lied to me…
You're just a distraction.
You know you lied to me…
I guess we both lost.
You know you lied to me…
Oh, hello, hello!
I always knew, but now it's certain
The times we speak Are at all all-time low…
You bet against me?
-Why would you wrap me up in feathers… -Your leg, I mean…
You'd make the same bet, right?
And set fire to the girl you stole?
The girl you stole…
This was her idea, wasn't it?
Why would Riri care?
She's Kira's right hand, Mary.
I knew Riri long before you came here.
Okay, so why is she suddenly interested in you?
-'Cause she's trying to get to me. -You know you lied to me…
Don't you have some laundry to do?
You know you lied to me…
You know you lied to me
Should help with the swelling.
Thank you.
Painful, huh?
You'll have to be more specific.
I've had a day.
What are my chances of getting out of house pet status now?
From last place?
Mmm…
Near zero.
So I have a chance?
Any luck finding Ray?
I scoured the house-pet library.
But if there was another Ray at this school…
…he covered his tracks.
Thanks for trying, Michael.
You're a good friend.
Michael, how many times have I told you?
You don't call me unless you are in jail or bleeding.
Dad, wait. I have a question about when you were in school.
Did people call you by your name here?
-Did they call you Gabriel? -What's this about?
Dad? Did they call you Gabriel?
No, I hated that name as a kid.
I went by my middle name.
Gabriel Robert Adams. So, Robert?
Yeah.
Only I was an arrogant little shit. So I used my last initials.
R. A.
Yeah, R. A.
But everyone called me Ray.
