* SeriousBusiness: Bill really meant it when asking Cricket and Gramma to watch that pie -- as a lot of animals could take a whiff of it, and he was asking them to defend it in case that happens. In their absence, it gets stolen by the mean rooster without warning, and he promptly chides them for not doing their job.

* RealityEnsues: After Bill asks Tilly to get the paprika and Cricket and Gramma watch the pie in the window, the latter two believe this to be a "bogus job" and attempt to beat Tilly and get the paprika instead. But it turns out watching the pie really was an important job after all -- with no one to watch it, it is left vulnerable and is eventually stolen by the mean rooster without warning, and Bill punishes them for disobeying him and they could've defended it all along.
