Animal Control Season 4 Episode 10 Preview: Scaredy Cats and Card Sharks
Frank and Daisy team up on an interesting side quest on Animal Control Season 4 Episode 10, “Scaredy Cats and Card Sharks.”
The two characters haven’t interacted much since Templeton and Daisy reluctantly joined the Northwest Precinct on Animal Control Season 4 Episode 1, “Bear Cubs and Broncos.” Then again, Frank and Templeton’s ongoing feud puts a natural distance between Frank and Daisy, who is friends with Templeton.
It’s unclear how or why Frank and Daisy wind up with $5,000 in union funds just to lose it, but “Scaredy Cats and Card Sharks” will see them try to win the sum back through gambling. How that involves Frank and handcuffs is as much a mystery as everything else.
One could bet that Frank has the money because he’s the union representative.
Still, there are so many gaps for Animal Control to fill in with this storyline. Similarly, the episode will be filling in another shift that the show doesn’t often explore — the night shift.
Only in writing that distinction did it hit me that the pack always works day shifts. On “Scaredy Cats and Card Sharks,” Shred and Patel will cover the late shift.
Surely, that will go well. Hopefully, it goes better for them than their super-long house-flip project. Then again, that storyline does end well, so maybe this one will, too. It is Animal Control, though, so a certain level of chaos is expected.
Here’s everything you need to know about this episode, including the air date, cast, promo, and how to watch.
