This is Thompson's second trip to Los Angeles. Getting him out here is the hardest part- he's a nervous flyer and doesn't like to go coach (not enough legroom.) Once he is here, he's totally excited and happy- probably because Karen's parents' place seems huge to him. In fact, he sort of takes on this whole other personality that I refer to as Chas (after the memorable episode of Charles in Charge where Charles takes on another personality after getting hit in the head; we also considered CAR, after a similarly-themed Knight Rider episode.) He wakes up at like 5am, and proceeds to scream at the top of his lungs until someone gives him some food. After that, it's mostly running around the house, begging for treats, and going places that are explicitly forbidden by humans- like behind the computer. He's probably found a way to send emails back to his friends in NYC- "come out here y'all- it's nothing but sun and endless duck-flavored catfood!"
