The second episode starts with Tori and Cat at Tori's house having a sleepover. It is 3:30 AM, and Cat has little plastic "dog-horses". Tori and Cat, giggling, try to explain what happened the day. The exercise is for Tori to be an elderly lady who often says "M'yeeehh!" and for Sikowitz to be a man named Barney trying to sell her a horse. Sikowitz sprays her with silly string twice to test her to stay in character, much like the scene in The Bird Scene where he hit Cat with a ball.

André and Cat
The 3rd episode starts with André and Cat at Cat's house, while Cat is playing with her giraffe, named "Mr. Longneck," (and attempts to get André to play with it). They then show where they started with the day. While Cat plays as a nurse who bites people, and Andre plays as a man who grew alone on an island, and doesn't speak a language, therefore making random sounds. At the end, Cat bites André which causes them to break character due to Cat supposedly breaking his skin with her teeth. At the end of the video, Cat still tries to play with her giraffe, while André just turns the camera off.
