**PAW PATROL: "A Fowl Crime"**
*Episode Treatment*
---
### **Cold Open: The Crime Scene**
It’s a quiet morning in Adventure Bay until a **horrifying discovery** shakes the town to its core—**Mayor Goodway is found dead** in the town square, her lifeless body clutching a single feather. The citizens are in shock, and Adventure Bay’s delicate social fabric begins to unravel.
Ryder, always the calm leader, immediately takes charge. But something is wrong—**the evidence points directly at him.** A series of **damning clues** (his voice on a distorted recording, paw prints in the wrong place, a suspiciously large Venmo transaction to a Swiss bank account) paint him as the prime suspect.
Chase, Adventure Bay’s self-proclaimed top cop, steps up—**or at least tries to.** But under pressure, it becomes painfully clear that Chase, despite his badge, has absolutely no idea how to conduct a real investigation.

### **Act 1: Chase’s Breakdown**
As Chase fumbles the case, he spirals into self-doubt.
- He realizes he’s never actually solved a crime—his "police work" mostly consists of **shouting orders through a megaphone** and **sliding down a slide dramatically**.
- To cope, he starts **abusing puppy treats**—binging Milk-Bones in a dark corner of HQ while muttering, *"Chase is on the case… Chase is on the case…"*
- His so-called forensic work is **just licking the evidence** and declaring it "suspicious."
Meanwhile, **Mayor Humdinger** quickly becomes the town’s number-one suspect. He has a **long history of crimes**, and **a mysterious note** found at the scene suggests he had a vendetta against Mayor Goodway. The town **wants blood**—and Humdinger, sensing the pressure, goes into hiding.
But something isn’t adding up…
---
### **Act 2: The Investigation Unravels**
Rubble, using his bulldozer **to literally bulldoze evidence**, uncovers a **shocking piece of CCTV footage**:
- The **murderer is small, feathery, and oddly dignified**.
- Chase, barely coherent from treat withdrawal, insists it’s a "trick of the light."
- Skye, the only competent pup, demands they **enhance the footage**.
As the pixels sharpen, **the truth becomes clear**—the killer is none other than… **Chicaletta.**
---
### **Act 3: The Twist**
The team pieces together Chicaletta’s **dark secret**:
- Mayor Goodway **never let Chicaletta fly free**; she kept her as a mere **accessory**, treating her like a prop in a mayoral vanity project.
- The **Swiss bank account**? It was **Chicaletta’s**—Goodway had been embezzling **Adventure Bay’s funds** into a secret offshore account under her pet’s name.
- The **final straw** came when Goodway planned to **rebrand Adventure Bay with a "No Chickens on Council" policy.**
Chicaletta had finally **had enough**.
---
### **Climax: The Chase (Pun Intended)**
In a dramatic final sequence, **the PAW Patrol confronts Chicaletta**, who flees into the woods.
- Chase, **overdosed and shaking**, attempts to call for backup but accidentally just starts barking at the sky.
- Zuma, never useful in any episode, just kinda watches.
- Rocky refuses to help because **"recycling can’t fix murder."**
- Ryder, now exonerated, leads the charge.
In the end, **Skye finally catches Chicaletta**, who **admits everything in a series of dramatic clucks**.
She’s taken into custody—though, due to Adventure Bay’s **absurdly broken justice system**, she’s simply placed in a **slightly smaller cage with extra birdseed.**
---
### **Epilogue: The Aftermath**
Adventure Bay is shaken but **returns to normal frighteningly quickly.**
- **A new mayor is elected** (a literal potted plant, since the town refuses to vet candidates).
- Chase, **permanently traumatized**, retires from police work and opens a **holistic treat dispensary**.
- Mayor Humdinger, still villainous, **insists he was framed** and writes a conspiracy book titled *"They Clucked Me Over."*
- **Chicaletta escapes** from her cage **in a post-credits scene**, hinting at a **sequel.**

### **Final Line:**
As the sun sets over Adventure Bay, Ryder turns to the pups and sighs:
*"No job is too big, no pup is too small… but this town is completely insane."*
**FADE TO BLACK.**
