Tony and John stake out a suspected distribution point for illegal chicken meat. When Tony and John sample the illegal meals, Tony learns that one of the cooks is a serial killer. The killer throws a cleaver at John's face and then cuts his own throat rather than allow Tony to arrest him. Due to the odd circumstances in which Tony comes up with the evidence, the police department wants to fire him, but Mason Savoy announces that Tony has been recruited and hired by the F.D.A.

John accepts bionic reconstruction of his face in exchange for working as an F.D.A. agent. Mike Applebee takes particular glee in pairing Tony and John as partners. Applebee sends the agents to investigate a bank robbery where the perpetrator left a pile of fecal material. The agents make a side trip to visit D-Bear -- just for old-time's sake. John processes a boatload of data, deduces the perpetrator, and the boys make the collar. But at the crime scene, Tony tastes the chicken gumbo and finds something unexpected.

The Yamapalu authorities jail Tony under suspicion that he killed Lin Sae Woo. After biting one of his cell mates, Tony shows Chief Kulolo the location of the body the inmate buried. After finding and tasting the dead body, Tony identifies the location of a rooster fighting ring on the north side of Yamapalu. Tony and the Chief raid the gangster's lair and recover Poyo, the fighting chicken. As a "favor" to Tony, the Chief lets him into the morgue so he can "investigate" the remains of Lin Sae Woo. Tony has his first taste of Gallsaberry.

When Amelia tries to flee, the Governor has her taken to a military compound. Applebee wants Tony -- for several quite gross investigations.
