It is 5/11 (5th November) and Nelson is struggling with the trauma of the previous year. But when he tries to take up the mantle of "fire safety warden" once more, Marion falls in with the wrong crowd of animals, led by a demented Scottish hedgehog, all of them seeking revenge for what bonfire night did to them. It is up to Nelson to take heroic action to uncover their plan and save Destiny from certain death and Marion from martyring himself.
Whilst walking in the park, Destiny is chosen to become a photographer's model. The trouble is that the photographer's idea of glamour is quite different to Destiny's.
When Kali has her wings clipped by Nelson to keep her from flying into fireworks, nasty neighbour Vince decides to eat her. Kali must keep Vince fed, or she will be appearing in her own version of Come Dine with Me - the difference is that she's the host and main-course.
This episode contains examples of:
- Answer Cut: When Nelson and Vince uncover the plot to destroy the pub, Vince wonders aloud who'd be stupid enough to set the explosion off. Cut to Marion with a firework up his arse at Destiny's front door.
- Ass Shove: As part of the plan to destroy the Lord Nelson, Marion gets a firework shoved up inside of his rear end.
- Breaking the Fourth Wall: Nelson and Marion briefly turn to the audience to assure them that what Marion's trying to do is absolutely nothing to do with religion... it's about politics.
- Bitch in Sheep's Clothing: Sprinkles reveals himself as this the instant Destiny tries to drive him off.Sprinkles: Don't try your shit with me, blondie! I was doing this while you were still on your mother's tit! Now, do what I say and nobody gets their eyes scratched out!Destiny: ...me-ow!
- Does This Remind You of Anything?: With the bonfire incident being referred to as "5/11" and Marion being indoctrinated into becoming a suicide bomber of sorts, it's hard not to draw parallels with The War on Terror. Of course, Nelson and Marion make it clear that what's going on is nothing to do with religion (see Breaking the Fourth Wall above).
- Embarrassing Hobby: Nelson apparently collects Warhammer. He insists he doesn't anymore, but Marion claims that he still has his twenty-sided die and the "little wizard figurines".
- Good Cop/Bad Cop: Parodied with Nelson and Vince trying to interrogate the hedgehog leader of the radical animal group. Nelson's idea of a "bad cop" is one who's slightly cranky after missing his morning doughnuts, while Vince just chains the hedgehog up and beats the tar out of him - neither of which helps. Then Vince points out that he doesn't even know what they're trying to learn from it... which leads to him "interrogating" Nelson the same way when he refuses to talk.
- Historical In-Joke: The radical animal's plan to destroy the Lord Nelson (using a fall guy to set off an explosion from the cellar) is one long send-up to Guy Fawkes and the Fifth of November plot.
- Innocently Insensitive: Nelson gets so overzealous with his "fire safety warden" duties that he clips Kali's wings to stop her flying into fireworks. He seems rather oblivious to her outrage at being unable to fly.
- My God, What Have I Done?: At the start of the episode, Nelson is traumatized from the previous year's bonfire night, where he accidentally lead a group of small animals into a bonfire just before Gary lit it. He has to struggle past it in order to stop the radical animals blowing up the pub and killing Destiny.
- Rejected Apology: Nelson tried to make peace with the victims of the bonfire incident, but none of them accepted his efforts, blaming him squarely for the deaths of their loved ones.
- Vocal Dissonance: Sprinkles is an adorable little kitten... whose voice sounds like a fifty-a-day smoker.
- You Are Fat: Destiny's song, "Ugly Women Are Beautiful Too", is basically this over and over again, but in a catchy Lady Gaga-style beat.
