Barrett (goes by Bear) sees her and helps her avoid the wrath of fellow motorists. Trixie works at an animal shelter, but they don't have the ability to care for a chicken there. So she takes the chicken home, which gets her kicked out of her place. Luckily she sees an ad in the paper for a pet-friendly room.
