"Rat Tail"


I hate everything about it! Even the name is disgusting! "Rat tail." Eugh!! I should be supportive, but if I tell him how I really feel, I'd be just like my dad! He always criticized me!

"Rat Tail" is the 24th episode of Season 3 and the 140th episode of Big City Greens overall.

This episode was released early through Disney+ on October 12, 2022, 3 days before its premiere on Disney Channel.

Synopsis

Nancy tries to get Cricket to cut his new rat tail without admitting that she hates it.[2]

Plot

Cricket proudly announces that he has grown a rat tail and shows it off. Tilly and Bill openly show approval of it, but Nancy is disgusted and pulls Bill to the side. She is shocked to find that he likes it and he calls her out on her hypocrisy on allowing Cricket to express himself. Bill suggests to Nancy that she either learn to live with it, or tell Cricket that she hates it. Not wanting to do the latter, as then she would be like her father who always criticized her as a child, she decides to go with a "third option", despite Bill saying there's no third way. Meanwhile, Gramma Alice discovers that Remy has a knack for knitting due to his "gaming thumbs" and takes him on as an apprentice to fulfill a "prophecy".

Nancy takes Cricket to the barber to suggest other hairstyles, but Cricket rejects all of them and when the barber sees it, he, along with the rest of the town, praise the rat tail. Later, she tries to subliminally get him to cut it off, but instead he elongates it with the help of Remy's new knitting abilities. Alice continues to train Remy in the art of knitting and he quickly becomes an expert. Alice reveals that he must knit the perfect glove, a task that she deems nearly impossible (she knitted five fingers instead of four), Remy takes to it, but seemingly fails in his task. He soon has an epiphany and manages to knit the perfect glove. Alice rewards him with golden knitting needles.

Nancy continues to panic over the rat tail and is beckoned by the voice of her father who tells her to criticize Cricket to get her point across. Nancy instead sneaks into Cricket's room in an attempt to cut off the rat tail, but accidentally rings the rat tail's bell, waking him up and he realizes everything. She admits to disliking it and was afraid of turning out just like her father and be disapproving. Cricket tells her that it is okay to disagree with him as Bill does it all the time and he still loves him, and forces her to promise to always be real with him from then on. To please her, Cricket cuts off his rat tail, but then decides that he wants a mullet and produces a wig from his drawer. Nancy tells him that she hates that too and he thanks her.
