When we parted ways last time, Molly had confronted our villain, known to most as Professor Fritz. Everything was looking pretty neat and tidy, with all the baddies in their place, and the hamsters almost home and dry. But in all the commotion, they’d forgotten about a small primate, with big eyes and strong little hands.

When we last left our heroes, they’d reunited after Patchee’s kidnapping by the dogs who’ve been putting the hamsters to work on a machine to generate power. The mind behind the machine belongs to a fox called Professor Fritz, whose assistant, Sam the slow loris, is now working with Molly, Patchee, and the police detectives Roscoe and Bailey, to put an end to the fox’s fiendish plot.

In the last episode, we uncovered the mastermind behind the hamster kidnapping: a fox called Professor Fritz, who paid some dogs to pick up the hamsters, strap them to a set of hamster wheels, and force them to generate electricity. What we don’t yet know is what Fritz plans to do with all this power, but it can’t be good.

We left Molly as she, Roscoe and Bailey were headed to the abandoned workshop in Handsome Gardens, hoping to meet and rescue Patchee, who is as we speak being marched behind a squadron of kidnapped hamsters, to who-knows-where.

Things are about to get serious.

Let’s head back to the old workshop in Handsome Gardens, where the sleeping body of Patchee the rabbit is being lowered to the floor.

We ended the last episode with Patchee rummaging around the army base where not so long ago, a football squad’s worth of hamsters were locked in cages. Meanwhile Molly’s found the note Patchee wrote about her, which doesn’t seem to have gone down well with Fogsworth’s private detective. What will happen when Patchee meets the blue tentacle?

Previously... Molly had sent Patchee off to speak to someone who might have a clue as to where the hamsters are being taken. Patchee wants to stay on Molly’s good side after nearly destroying her flat by accident. And speaking of said accident, there might be one thing the young rabbit missed when he was cleaning up Molly’s flat… something about a piece of paper?

Private detective Molly Whiskers has had a run-in with the Fogsworth police force, Patchee’s woken up from a concussion and has started tidying Molly’s flat, and the General – the big pug in charge of kidnapping the town’s football squad – is very, very stinky.
