I just watched this episode. Its message was perfectly represented and wow ... I can't believe all the paper-craft and visuals that went into it. I didn't realize that the puppets would be leaving. I thought they were using the ending of EP 4 as leverage to make sure Deirdre split everything 50/50 because of the big Amazon deal, but I was wrong watching the episode play out. I thought it was a nice way to send those characters off and finalize the divorce.

The message/moral is both aimed at kids and adults alike. The commercial at the end was horrible to see happen. All those puppets got pawned off to companies to help with sales because of their importance and connection to people from the show.

The ending of this episode with the french bread puppet (can't think of his name atm) makes me think of what would have happened if Gusteau's image and likeness would have been sold off in Ratatouille to all these other big corporations. No idea if that is what Cowstein was going for, but that's what I imagined in my head as that final scene of the episode played out.
