Workplace comedies thrive on the mundane chaos of office life, and FOX’s Animal Control takes that formula and throws in a healthy dose of, well, animals. In “Buffalo and Beavers,” the prank war between Frank and Templeton escalates to new heights (or perhaps lows, depending on your perspective on office hijinks). Is this the episode where someone finally gets a stapler embedded in Jell-O? Stranger things have happened.
Meanwhile, Victoria finds herself caught in the crossfire as Emily attempts to navigate the complicated waters of her relationship with Rick. Because nothing says romance like unsolicited advice from a coworker. And let’s not forget Patel, whose temporary reign as supervisor takes an unforeseen turn. Who knew managing a team of animal control officers could be so unpredictable?
“Buffalo and Beavers” looks set to deliver another round of absurd situations and character-driven comedy. Will the pranks cross the line? Will Emily and Rick ever find their footing? And can Patel keep his sanity while holding down the fort?
“Animal Control: Buffalo and Beavers” airs Thursday, February 13, 2025, at 9:01 p.m. ET on FOX.
