Appearances[]
Monsters at Work[]
In "Opening Doors", Sunny is first seen entering the MIFT quarters to confront Cutter, whose real name is actually Katherine, and they reveal to have a history with each other (which includes hints at a romantic one) and during this, Sunny reveals that Cutter's new canister she made to extract the laugh power is leaking, but Cutter blows her off and they make a bet to see on whoever is wrong has to apologize to the other.
The members of MIFT, alongside Needleman and Smitty, try and find the cause of the leaks, in which they go to the receiving station to see if Sunny is responsible. Sunny meets up with them and shows them how the receiving station works and they check the canisters in her area, all of which say that they are completely full. Sunny ends up feeling victorious, but when she confronts Cutter at the end, Cutter reveals that she also checked her work and says that the canisters in her field are also full with no leaks, so neither owes each other an apology.
Cutter and Sunny work together and also rekindle their romantic relationship, with it being revealed that they only broke up because Cutter bought her the wrong type of orange juice, upon realizing that neither of them were at fault regarding the canisters and both apologized for everything. The two later work with the rest of MIFT in stopping Johnny and Randall’s plot to use combined scream and laugh energy to power Monstropolis.
Trivia[]
