Oscar is planning a peaceful weekend up in the woods when Felix comes home depressed after seeing his ex-wife with another man. Trying to distract him, Oscar takes his roommate to a cabin in the woods, where their typical disputes soon fall by the wayside when a trio of scouts and their pretty troop leader turn up at the cabin.
!!This episode includes examples of the following tropes:
* AllOfTheOtherReindeer: The other two girls don't make Bunny's weekend any better. Cindy continually calls her weird, saying that she and Lois both hate her and predicting that Oscar will, too.
* FallbackMarriagePact: Downplayed. Bunny asks Felix if they can meet in front of the zoo if they're both still single twenty years in the future. While not romantically interested in her, Felix agrees to make her happy.
* GoodbyeCruelWorld: The depressed Felix tells Oscar he'll leave him a note if he does anything stupid.
* OnTheRebound: Bunny develops a crush on Felix. When they talk it through later, she confesses that she just got dumped by her "boyfriend", who gave her ring to another, older girl.
* PopCulturePunEpisodeTitle: The title refers to the movie ''Film/BunnyLakeIsMissing.''
* PrecociousCrush: Bunny, the most withdrawn of the trio, gravitates towards the Shakespeare book and develops a childhood crush on Felix when he does a scene with her. She runs away out of jealousy when Julie takes Felix away. After he and Oscar find her, Felix tells her he's flattered, but he thinks he's a little old to be her Romeo.
* ShoutOut: After Oscar finds out the "girls" Julie mentioned are all kids, he complains that of course the first attractive woman he meets up in the mountains has ''Series/TheBradyBunch'' with her.
* TemptingFate: Initially, Oscar and Felix only see Julie, the scout leader, so when she asks for shelter for herself and three girls, Oscar assumes they've hit the jackpot. It turns out the girls are kids.
* TooUnhappyToBeHungry: When Oscar takes the kids to raid the fridge, Bunny says "no thanks" and stays by the window. Given that she ran off soon afterwards, she presumably felt too upset to eat.
