"**Abuelita's World**" is the second segment of the ninth episode of the first season of *Hamster & Gretel*, and the eighteenth episode overall. It is paired with "The Nightmarionette" and premiered on Disney Channel on October 1, 2022.

Kevin and Gretel's abuelita takes care of the two while Dave and Carolina are at a convention, but Abuelita is a very strict woman, leaving Kevin and Gretel's hands tied when a former mayoral candidate-turned giant baby attacks the city.

## Plot

Dave and Carolina leave Hamster, Kevin, and Gretel at home with Abuelita while they visit a plumber's convention for the weekend. However, Abuelita proves to be excessively strict when she forbids Kevin and Gretel from using their cellphones and has them doing chores nonstop. When Fred stops by to ask Kevin and Gretel why they are not answering their phones, Abuelita closes the door on her, telling her that Kevin is not allowed to have girls over; however, she manages to tell them to watch the news. They do this after Kevin puts Abuelita to sleep by feeding her flan, and the three learn that Bob Enfantiberg, a giant baby-turned mayoral campaign loser, is attacking the city. However, their efforts are complicated when Abuelita insists that she go with them downtown.

When the heroes arrive to the scene, Abuelita confronts Enfantiberg for terrorizing the city, only to be picked up by him and carried off to the top of a skyscraper. To avoid harming Abuelita, Gretel―through Kevin's guidance―distracts Enfantiberg by using a giant maraca as a baby rattle, rescues Abuelita, and places Enfantiberg in a makeshift crib. After Gretel and Hamster return in civilian clothes, Abuelita tells Kevin off for letting her go to the bathroom in the middle of the battle unattended when they notice the Action News van that Enfantiberg had thrown into the earlier about to fall on them. The two end up forced to reveal their superhero identities to Abuelita when they save her from being crushed by the van. Abuelita reassures her grandchildren that they did the right thing by breaking her rules for the sake of saving the city and promises to keep their identities a secret from Dave and Carolina.
