Synopsis by Hal Erickson
Although Cliff (Bill Cosby) has a history of inadvertently bringing about the early deaths of his family's pets, he allows Rudy (Keshia Knight Pulliam) to look after her friend Caroline's hamster Darren. Perhaps inevitably, Darren falls ill and passes away at the animal clinic, whereupon Cliff desperately tries to pass off an "impostor" as Caroline's beloved pet. The surprising denoument is but one of the episode's many visual and verbal treats, which include a "guest-star" menagerie of exotic animals.
