Kenan must get rid of a rat that invaded Rigby's.
- Analogy Backfire: Kenan's response to Kel asking him if he would understand what it would be like as a rat being hunted.Kenan: Let's see. I'm not a rat, never been a rat, and have no plans to become a rat. So, goodnight, Kel!

- Hypocritical Humor:
- When Sharla refuses to provide Kenan bologna for his sandwich, Kenan says "[he] has to do everything around here" despite being the one slacking off.
- Roger teases Kenan about being afraid of rats, only to start panicking himself when Kenan teases about a ladybug being on him.
- Murder Is the Best Solution: Everyone (besides Sharla) tells Kel that killing the rat is the only way to remove it from the store. It's not until Kenan has a nightmare involving him as a helpless rat that he sides with Kel.
- Nice Job Breaking It, Hero:
- Kenan plans to have the customer take the rat with her, but Kel grabs the rat and it returns to the store.Kenan: Thanks a lot, Kel.
Kel: You know what, I don't think you should thank me. I think I really messed up that time. - Kel opens the rat's cage to give it fresh air (even though the cage has bars), inadvertently leashing it onto the stage audience.
