Quickly

A cat mummy harasses Ricky Gervais.

Thoughts, Details and Recap

The episode opens with Ricky Gervais performing a puppet show about a cat mummy for the gang. My brain goes straight to The Curious Creations of Christine McConnell and Rankle. After the brief show, they are attacked by a cat mummy. The mummy demands his statue. They flee and hide. Ricky Gervais tells them the mummy is after one of his cat's toys. Ricky Gervais uses aids to explain the mythology of Bast.

Ollie is driven insane by an attractive scent. They follow Ollie to the antique store where Ricky bought the antique statue for Ollie. They meet a woman with a jar of ancient catnip. The antique store owner expresses his suspicions of an employ and an old door. The old door leads to an abandoned wing of the British Museum.

Ricky Gervais goes into long bits through out the episode including a bit while they're walking through the British Museum wing about Scooby-Doo repeatedly saying his name as a catch phrase. Whether they're in the abandoned wing or not is ambiguous because there are a lot of antiques and they are nicely displayed. The cat mummy shows up again and chases them.

In the British Museum, they find the woman with the catnip taped up and trapped in a sarcophagus. The woman's presence is the final clue they need to solve the mystery. They leave her there.  Ricky creates a trap and it almost works. They improvise to stop the mummy from getting away. They drop the super catnip on the mummy to prompt a hundred random cats to show up. 

They mummy is the antique dealer. He's a fake antique dealer. He's actually a jewelry thief. He was using the door to rob the museum. Why did he show them the door to the museum?
