Miss Piggy winds up crossing the line when she plants a fake story about her and Kermit getting secretly married in Vegas to the gossip papers (based on Kermit's dialog, it's not the first time she's done this). Enraged, Kermit chews her out and fires her on the spot. Meanwhile, celebrity guest, Loretta Swit tries to serve as mediator, and get the two to patch things up... that is until she's given the all too tempting offer to replace Miss Piggy.
This is probably one of my favorite episodes in the series. Kermit frequently endures a lot of abuse throughout the show, especially from Miss Piggy, and while he frequently gets annoyed it's not often that we get to see him genuinely angry, and in this case, he can get downright nasty. On that note, while Miss Piggy is one of my favorite characters, it was nice to see her on the receiving end of someone's wrath for a change, and watch her to try and muster as much dignity as she possibly can in the process. Sure in the end, we all know Kermit will hire her back. After all, love her or hate her, the show, or the Muppet franchise as a whole, simply wouldn't be the same without her.
