I dreamt I was bringing my cat to the vets because it was sick. The vet took the cat in for some research and found that the source of the sickness was due to a curse that was brought on by a drum (the same drum used in the Butch skit). The vet brought the cat back to us but wouldn't heal him. He could destroy the drum, and the sickness would be gone, but he wanted the power of the drum for himself. So we killed him and set the clinic on fire. Then we ran into the next room and started setting the animals free.
I remembered something I read online, that if you find yourself the only person left on the planet; don't let domestic animals out in the wild, because they may not be able to survive. But I figured they didn't have much of a chance in the cages, so I started letting all the cats out. There were some creatures I had to leave in like the fish and underwater iguanas, but there was a strange hamster ant hybrid that looked like a fat ant with extendable hamster paw mandibles. Ugly things. I then tried to find the ferrets, but they were in a big cage with some guy. I opened the door, and these frogs started crawling out, and I had to throw them back in, because they weren't mammals.
In another dream, we left Barlow a voicemail that we were heading to the gym, and he called back all excited and said he couldn't come. But we were happy for him, since that was a start.
