When Bug does not show up at Jordan's to relieve Woody, Nigel gets angry and then realizes something is wrong. Woody and Nigel begin to investigate and find out that Homeland Security has taken him into custody and are accusing him of being a terrorist. Meanwhile, a pesky detective keeps hounding the morgue staff to do an autopsy, but everyone is preoccupied with what is going on with Bug and whether or not he will be set free.
