And episode guide...
Premiere Episode: In this episode we get to meet the Mew Mew team and learn their true purpose. Each girl is part human and part endangered species. Elliot and Wasley explain that their mission is to save the world from the alien invasion of the Cyniclons (Predasites). The Mew Mew team is made up of Zoey, who is part Wild Mountain Cat; Corina, who is part rare Blue Lorikeet; Bridget who is part the Black Finless Porpoise; Kikki who is part Golden Tramarind Lion Monkey, and Renee who is part Grey Wolf. We also get to meet Zoey's crush, Mark. He teaches her that individuality is important so he thinks it is cool that she's a Mew Mew.

Episode 1: In this episode we get to go back to before the girls were Mew Mews. We learn about Zoey when she was just an average high school student. She is totally crushing on the school jock Mark. When they go on a date to the endangered species exhibit something strange happens. She passes out and then awakes to find she is behaving strangely. When Mark is threatened by a huge rat, Zoey springs into action and saves his life. What has happened to her?

Episode 2: Zoey learns more about what happened to her and what this means for her future. She is now a female, feline superhero... part human and part Wild Mountain Cat. Zoey's next task is to find the four remaining members of the Mew Mew team and continue to battle the Cyniclon aliens. And did we mention still get her homework done? At the end of the episode Zoey meets Corina Bucksworth, a weathy snobbish girl. When Corina's dog is in danger, the two girls must team up to save him.

Episode 3: Zoey is late for school and as she rushes to get there, she collides with Bridget Verdant, a shy girl who goes to the other high school in town. Later on that day Zoey & Corina run into Bridget and overhear her talking about ghost sightings. Corina is suspicious and decides that she and Zoey should investigate. One problem, Zoey is afraid of ghosts.

Episode 4: Ever since Zoey found out about her powers, she doesn't want to face Mark. Even when he invites her on a second date to the Wild Ride Amusement Park & Petting Zoo, she can't bring herself to go. Minimew, a robot member of the Mew Mew team, tells Zoey he is worried that something bad is going to happen at the amusement park. Zoey & Minimew head to the park and run into Mark. Before long, the animals in the zoo go crazy and Zoey needs the help of Bridget and Corina to save the day.

Episode 5: Again late for school, Zoey nearly gets hit by a truck. Luckily her cat-like powers kick in and she does a triple rotation back-flip to get out of the way. The HS gymnastics coach sees her in action and tells her she MUST joint the team. She agrees so she can be closer to Mark. Pretty soon Zoey is ready to compete in a gymnastics match. All her friends come to watch but little do they know the Cyniclon Dren is there to cause trouble.

Episode 6: Elliot hosts a party to honor the Mew Mews and all the victories they have had against the Cyniclons. He orders all the girls new dresses and hires a famous pianist named Mary McGuire to perform. The party is a big hit until Cyniclon Dren shows up and goes after Mary.

The crowd thinks it's part of the act, but Kikki knows it isn't. She asks Zoey about it, but doesn't get any answers. Later on we come to learn that Kikki also has an animal side and is the fourth member of the Mew Mew team.

Episode 8: Bridget wins tickets to the Pampered Princess Resort and Spa so the girls head out to the countryside. When they get there they find out that the spa is still being built and that the tickets were meant for next year. They stay anyway and meet a boy named Marco who seems a lot like Mark. Marco doesn't want to see the resort built because it will destroy the home of the otters, monkeys and plants. When Dren appears, the people of the countryside get scared and stop building the resort.

Episode 9: While borrowing a dress from Corina, Zoey meets her older brother Sergio. Corina and her brother don't seem to get along so well. Zoey finds an old picture of Corina and Sergio and learns that at one time they were pretty close. Zoey and the other Mew Mews decide they are going to bring them back together. They convince Sergio to attend Corina's ballet recital but before they know it, there's Predasites to defeat.

Episode 10: The newspapers have a picture of a mysterious girl who's been going around town fighting Predasites.
