Plot
Following the events of Shrike Two, Splendid agrees to help Savior take down Shrikes. The malicious bird is now seen eating a recently-killed Creepy and Crawly on a stick. Savior flutters by demanding him to surrender. Shrikes laughs at the tiny butterfly, but his mood changes when Splendid appears.

Shrikes points in the other direction, distracting the two heroes and allowing a hasty escape. Splendid realizes he's been had, so he pursues Shrikes. Savior, however, collects nectar from a patch of flowers in order to gain energy. Giggles is also there smelling the flowers.

Meanwhile, Shrikes stands on a branch as Splendid comes ever closer towards him. Before Splendid could catch him, however, he jumps out of the way at the last minute. Shrikes leaves as Splendid is shown stuck to a cactus. This cactus happens to be the home of Cacti.

Savior has had his fill of nectar and is willing to fight crime. But when Shrikes shows up and Splendid is nowhere in sight, he is given no choice but to flee. In pursuit of the insect hero, Shrikes knocks Giggles off the edge of a cliff. Luckily, Savior manages to catch her before she could hit the bottom. Savior tries to fly her back to the top even though she is many times his size.

Standing at the edge, Shrikes awaits to impale them with a large stake. Splendid returns to kick him in the behind. Shrikes is sent falling off the cliff, colliding into Savior and Giggles before landing onto a pointed rock at the bottom. Giggles falls on another rock seconds later.

Unaware that he botched Savior's rescue job, Splendid gives himself a congratulatory nod before disappearing in a flash. Savior figures he did everything he could, so he leaves as well. Below the cliff, it is shown that Shrikes is still alive despite his injury, giving off an angry glare of revenge. But then the stake lands in his head and finishes him off.

Deaths

 * 1) Creepy and Crawly are killed by Shrike (offscreen).
 * 2) Giggles is impaled onto a pointed rock.
 * 3) Shrikes dies when a stake lands in his head.

Trivia

 * Preceded by Shrike One and Shrike Two, this is the final part of Shrikes' first appearance.
 * This was originally going to be a crossover between HTFF and HIF, but it was decided this idea should be saved for a future episode.
 * Stacy originally had Giggles' role. In a similar manner to the canon episode Better Off Bread, the episode involves Giggles being in a flower patch and falling off a cliff before being killed by Splendid (although Savior tried saving her this time).
