Animal Control Season 5 Episode 6 Preview: Will Frank’s Brother Crash Emily and Shred’s Party?
Emily and Shred’s first party as a couple may not go as planned on Animal Control Season 5 Episode 6, “Baked Chickens and Rat Dogs.”
The best thing about this show’s promotional materials is that it gives fans so much and leaves them to fill in the blanks ahead of new episodes. With this one, it looks like Frank is annoyed with Daisy, Patel, and Shred working on a sketch of a dog. (Is this the titular “Rat Dog?”)
This scene could totally be the cold open. Either way, it seems like it may be one of the only scenes that “Baked Chickens and Rat Dogs” will have at the precinct.
Most of the photos come from Emily and Shred’s party, which happens on the heels of Emily asking Shred to move in with her. It looks like the party starts as a very lowkey dinner party. It’s great to see that Emily and Shred invited Daisy, but that does raise questions about Templeton’s invitation.
It looks like, at some point, things escalate and many, many more people show up to the party. Perhaps that’s how Frank’s brother, Patrick, gets involved. However, this is Animal Control. Maybe we should anticipate a wacky twist.
How all of this unfolds remains to be discovered, but it’s likely that Emily will need to lean on Bettany’s octagon breathing during all of this.
Here’s everything you need to know about this episode, including the air date, cast, promo, and how to watch.
