Logline

The ladies throw a global warming awareness event for children to benefit this week’s animal, Coral (yes, coral is an animal!) However, the women can’t agree on a temperature for the office and keep messing with the thermostat. Margo turns it down to stay alert in case a fight breaks out, Beth turns it up because the finger paints are freezing, and Diane tears her way out of a big coral costume, traumatizing the kids forever.

When Diane gives a big presentation on a cruise after getting the world’s worst sunburn, the women struggle to look at her, and this week’s animal, the shredded walrus (walruses that have been shredded by boat motors and survived.) Meanwhile, Karen refuses to acknowledge that her biggest donation this quarter has fallen through, no matter how much Sue tries to get through to her. 

The women throw a dance party for the Pinto Spinetail, a bird whose mating rituals have been disturbed by deforestation. Meanwhile a very hot temp is visiting to help them go paperless and the women subconsciously begin mating rituals of their own. Elle wears bright colored garments to catch their eye, Karen demands an offering of shiny trinkets, and Margo just wants them to inseminate her and leave. All the inappropriate behavior results in a lawsuit the women can’t afford. 

When Diane hits a snapping turtle on her way to work, she’s shocked to find that the vet bill will cost the entire week’s budget. The ladies all use their own tactics to try and get a discount. Diane pretends the turtle was her  pet, Karen tries to sleep her way into a discount, and Beth figures out what she wants to do with her life and considers leaving the company.

The ladies put on a halloween performance of Dracula to raise money for Vampire Bats, a nocturnal animal whose lack of sight forces it to rely on its hearing. Unfortunately, the office has lost power and to top it all off, our lead, Diane, got pressured into last-minute lasik.

The ladies partner up with Elle’s old sorority, Pi Kappa Stuckup, to save the swans in the on-campus lake that have been attacking visitors. Meanwhile, Elle regresses to her former college self and creates some bad PR for the business. 

The women partner with Houses For Hot Humans to build a dam for an elderly beaver, but when the company pulls out last minute, taking their lumber with them, the ladies must challenge sexist stereotypes and do the construction themselves with whatever they have.

The women throw a Walkathon for the endangered Red Wolf, but Margo made the path way too long and rigorous. While most people quit halfway through, Karen and Diane refuse, and decide to settle once and for all who the leader of the pack is.

When a coffee chain bans plastic straws to help sea turtles, the women campaign for the ban of plastic cups as well, for the sake of Eels who could get stuck in them. Only problem is, Margo got in a fight and has to lead the protest in a very constricting neck brace.

When the ASPCCA starts cleaning ducklings at an oil spill, the women of Forgotten Animals join in but focus their efforts on the horseshoe crabs. But after Trudy lends them soap that turns out not to be eco-friendly, the women are charged with polluting the water even further. This may just be the end of Forgotten Animals!
