Animal Control, Previews

It’s time for the annual Animal Control Games on Animal Control Season 5 Episode 7, “Stuffed Cats and Goslings.” 

If you’re wondering if you’ve missed a chapter or two, this is the first time that the event has been shown onscreen. There’s also a new competitor in the mix this time: Roman Park.

He’s back with a vengeance after the pack got the best of him on Animal Control Season 5 Episode 3, “Bugs and Rabid Dogs.”

What makes this competition so interesting is that it’s hard to tell — from just the photos — which side Templeton supports. He’s wearing both team shirts in different photos. Maybe he’s going to go undercover on Roman’s team. There’s also a chance that he joins forces with Roman in a shared disdain of Frank.

Anything is possible on Animal Control, especially as “Stuffed Cats and Goslings” marks the workplace comedy’s 50th episode.

It’ll also be fun to learn what leads the pack to starting a fire in the parking lot after hosting the games. It looks like it’s safe to bet that Patel may add a little too much lighter fluid to the couch, which, honestly, tracks.

Here’s everything you need to know about this episode, including the air date, cast, promo, and how to watch.
