Pet Shop of Horrors Season 1 Episode 1 Daughter

In Pet Shop of Horrors season 1 episode 1, titled "Daughter," we are introduced to a mysterious pet shop owned by a enigmatic man known only as Count D. The shop specializes in selling exotic and rare animals to its discerning clientele, but there's something more sinister lurking beneath the surface.

The first customer we see is a wealthy businessman named Kenji, who visits the shop looking for a special gift for his daughter. He's immediately drawn to a beautiful bird named Ling Ling, but hesitates when Count D tells him that she's not an ordinary bird - she's an ancient phoenix with the power to grant wishes.

Despite the warning, Kenji purchases the bird for his daughter, much to her delight. She takes Ling Ling home and is overjoyed when the bird starts talking to her. But as the days go on, strange things begin to happen. Objects move on their own, and Kenji's daughter becomes increasingly obsessed with Ling Ling, neglecting her other responsibilities.

When Kenji returns to the shop to speak with Count D, he’s initially dismissive of his concerns. However, things take a disturbing turn when Count D tells him that Ling Ling's true power lies in the fact that she feeds on human souls. She grants wishes, but at a terrible price.

Kenji is horrified and demands that Count D take the bird back, but it may be too late. Ling Ling has already gotten a taste for human souls and her powers are growing stronger every day. As Kenji tries desperately to protect his daughter from the bird's influence, he realizes that he may have already doomed her.
