The state wants to build a power plant and there is concern by the Governor over what it might do to the river. But it seems he may have no choice other than to support legislation in favor of it since there seems to be no alternative.
An overzealous environmentalist (“El Gato”) decides to show his disdain over the building of this power plant by leaving “slimy calling cards,” as Benson calls them. On one occasion, he leaves a pile of dead fish in the living room; on another, he leaves the Governor’s office full of industrial detergent. (“We’re having the rugs shampooed,” Benson joked.) His goal is to embarrass politicians into cleaning up the environment. :o
Finding and catching El Gato is the challenge facing Captain Bates, the Head of Security at the mansion. Eventually, El Gato is caught—by Benson. Initially he calls Bates into the kitchen, but after El Gato explains his reasons for doing what he is doing, Benson decides to try to help El Gato, who has taken matters into his own hands because he thinks nobody cares about the environment. Benson tells him the Governor cares and arranges a meeting between the two. El Gato has a plan to meet the state’s energy needs without the risk to the river and the environment, and gets the Governor to agree to give his plan serious consideration.
Favorite quotes:
Captain Bates: Did you guys know that “El Gato” means “the cat”?
Benson: Yeah. You know what “bozo” means?
Taylor: Get rid of these fish, Benson. I don’t care what you do with them but get them out of here.
Benson: Alright, alright. I’ll have them put in the backseat of your car.
Katie: How do you save energy, Miss Kraus?
Benson: By letting me do all the work.
Taylor: The public wants an answer now. I’m only thinking of the people.
Benson: (laughing) That’s a first.
Taylor: You’re in charge of this house. How did El Gato get in here?
Benson: I haven’t the foggiest… I’m still wondering how you got in here.
Kraus: That El Gato. After what he did to the living room, I’d like five minutes alone with that man.
Benson: That’d sure teach him.
Kraus: It’s got to the point now where I go home and I expect to find a man waiting in my apartment.
Benson: Well don’t give up hope.
I like this episode. Pretty funny and entertaining. I wonder how they got all those soap suds in the Governor’s office? And creative that El Gato was really Katie’s science teacher getting the floor plans from her as a science project involving energy conservation. :D
But what’s with Marcy? Will she fall for anything that’s male? And a man in a mask and cape on top of it? I didn’t think he was cute at all! ohno:
And sorry but this is not a milk episode. Coffee yes, but not milk. :)
