Animal Control Season 5 Episode 2 Preview: Shred Spirals About Customer Service Scores
The pack is in damage control mode on Animal Control Season 5 Episode 2, “Crows and Lizard Legs.”
For Shred, the desire to shake things up comes when he sees a negative online review about him. One of the photos for the episode shows that the rest of the teams are getting 10s, but Shred and Frank are sitting at half that — yikes.
It’s also surprising that the negative review is about Shred and not Frank. Let’s be honest, Frank’s interpersonal communication skills aren’t his strongest quality.
So, it’s totally understandable that Shred would take that to heart. He really (and outwardly) cares what people think about him.
It’s particularly relevant that Shred seems to spiraling about how this will reflect on the precinct. After his and Emily’s relationship became public on Animal Control Season 4 Episode 12, “Golden Moose and Dogs,” Shred probably doesn’t want to even accidentally cause ay more problems for his team.
Perhaps the call that Frank and Shred are on the photos, featuring Animal Control guest star Brooke Lyons, will result in a higher customer satisfaction score. It seems like they (or at least Frank) rescue an adorable French bulldog!
Back at the precinct, things seemingly take an interesting turn when Patel, Victoria, and Emily work together to try to break up Addy and her new boyfriend. All signs point to said boyfriend being hit by a tranquilizer dart. How does that happen and what will it mean for Addy’s relationship? We’ll have to wait and see!
Here’s everything you need to know about this episode, including the air date, cast, promo, and how to watch.
