Plot
(Previously on "Splendid: Super Squirrel" {cue clips from Splendid Origins} "Now we bring you Chapter Two...")

Spoke asks his father if he wants to play baseball, but before Splendid could respond, he hears a cry for help. Petunia is seen falling off a cliff. Splendid quickly rescues her. He then goes back to play with Spoke, but swings the ball too hard it shatters, along with Petunia, whom he accidentally hit.

Buying a new baseball with Spoke, Splendid is once again interrupted when Devious rides a robotic dinosaur through the city. As Splendid goes to battle, Spoke grows tired of his superhero father always being too busy to play. Devious ends up being eaten by his robo-dino, while everyone except a disappointed Spoke cheers for Splendid's victory. With a punch in the face by Splendid, the robot falls on top of the crowd.

Splendid finally plans to spend quality time with his son. That is until another crime erupts. Lifty and Shifty are seen robbing a sausage factory, so Splendid goes off to stop them. Spoke decides to follow him this time.

Lifty and Shifty pick sausages off a conveyor belt. Spoke runs on to but sees it is heading for a meat grinding machine. Spoke tries to run away but the conveyor belt is only going in that direction. Shifty speeds up the conveyor belt, causing Spoke to fall tail-first into it.

Splendid stops Lifty and Shifty from escaping and ties them up with sausage rope. However, he sees Spoke in trouble. Instead of beating up the bandits, he rescues Spoke and brings him to the hospital. Lifty and Shifty realize the sausages are being pulled into the meat grinder, and them as well. A factory worker, Lumpy, comes to work and sees green sausages coming out of the machine.

Sometime later, Spoke exits the hospital with Splendid waiting outside. Despite his loss, he has gained respect for his father's heroism. Splendid also decides to start spending more time with his son, so they bond over a game of baseball, oblivious to a distant city being invaded by a giant monster.
