Cluckwork Orange

'''After befriending a chicken with a bad attitude at a petting zoo, Jude is followed back to school by the chicken. He defends the bird's behavior until he can defend it no longer.'''

Plot
The petting zoo pays a visit to the daycare, with MacArthur being the zookeeper in charge. She allows the kids to play with the various animals she brought, but warns them about the chicken. The kids have the time of their lives with the animals; Beth entering an alligator's mouth, Harold being cocooned by spiders, Cody petting a wolverine, and Owen and Izzy with a pig. Jude however manages to make friends with the chicken, as it sees him as a giant chicken. Chef then announces that it's lunch time and MacArthur orders the animals to return to the truck. Jude bids the chicken farewell, but the chicken is saddened that its new friend will be leaving. Chef orders the kids to wash their hands and scolds Cody for sucking his thumb after petting the wolverine. The results of sucking his dirty thumb turns him feral, though Chef doesn't seem concerned about it.

As the kids eat their lunch, Jude discovers the chicken has stowed away in his lunch. Afraid that Chef might finds out, Jude gives the chicken his clothes while he wears his spare. Never having had a pet of his own, Jude decides to keep the chicken and names it Nugget. For the rest of the day, he and Nugget spend their time together by playing tricks on Chef; every time Chef sees Nugget in Jude's clothing, Jude will appear in its place. After several times of this happening, Chef believes that it is a sign that he is afraid of commitment. Choosing not to be afraid anymore, Chef calls a person named Beverly that he is going to buy a tuba that he always wanted. Meanwhile, Cody doesn't feel well and suddenly coughs out a hairball much to his confusion. Izzy takes the hairball and explains to Cody that he is turning into a werewolf. Cody attempts to brush it off, but suddenly begins to act like a dog by scratching with his legs while on all four.

Nugget's presence begin to cause havoc in class; it steals Courtney's lunch before squirting juice at her, destroying Harold's block city and attacking Harold, Izzy and Owen. The children complain to Jude about how naughty his chicken is but Jude defends Nugget, explaining that it is not a bad chicken but misunderstood. It is not until Nugget attacks Bridgette for no reason with a pair of nunchucks before shooting eggs at her that Jude realizes that his friends are right about his chicken. While all this is happening, Cody's condition worsen, with fur growing around his body while he is asleep. Just as Izzy had warned him, Cody indeed turns into a werewolf.

Jude decides to take responsibility for Nugget's action and set his friend free on the roof. Because chickens can't fly, Nugget only lands on a lower section of the roof. Terrified, Nugget jumps into Jude's arm but Jude believes that Nugget is reluctant to leave him and throw it off the roof again. Because his eyes were close, Jude believes that Nugget had already flew away when in reality it fell to the ground. Owen attempts to tell him what really happen but Harold silence him. As the boys are about to leave the roof, Nugget bounces on a car and reaches the roof again. Seeing Jude's action as a sense of betrayal, Nugget attempts to attack its former friend when suddenly, Cody, now fully a werewolf, appears and maul the aggressive chicken off-screen. Back at class, Jude admits that his experience with Nugget had taught him a valuable lesson; egg salad gives him gas. Courtney corrects him that the true lesson is not to bring a dangerous animal in a daycare. At the other end of the room, Beth overhears this and quickly tells the alligator from the daycare to jump out of the room. The alligator, named Suzanne, does so but ends up at Chef's office where it attacks him and breaking his tuba off-screen just as the episode ends.

General

 * Cody's situation of turning into an uncontrollable beast is similar to Ezekiel who turned into a feral creature in Total Drama World Tour.
 * Coincidentally, both of them share the same voice actor as teenagers.

Continuity

 * Beth having tea with an alligator is a callback to her spending time with sharks in Haute Camp-ture and the intro of Total Drama Action.
