## **Plot**

The episode continues off from when Steven and Junior venture off to find Ruby after setting down temporarily. Junior, still as miserable as he was previously, becomes more agitated as he pledges how they could have looked for Ruby a long time ago and implies that Steven is slowing them down. Steven tries to be optimistic and kindly asks him why Junior is acting this way. Junior avoids the question and yearns to return home. He accidentally blurts out how Steven's friends are "stupid", which sets him off. Junior blames his actions on how he was nurtured as a child, showing no sympathy or remorse. Steven finally gives up and leaves Junior behind angrily, splitting the angry duo up for the foreseeable future.

Junior continues to reminisce his argument verbally as he enters a grassy savanna area. He soon stops when he hears a strange high-pitched voice beckoning behind him, repeating the word "Food?". A strange Yoshi approaches him, along with his apparent tribe chanting the phrase continuously. Junior becomes intimidated by them and backs away until he is knocked unconscious by them. He wakes up with a migraine, and his vision blurs back in to find him in a boiling pot, ready to be eaten alive by the Yoshis. The supposed chief and the tribe circling, chanting the phrase again. He rejoices to taste an animal like Junior, which makes Junior regret all his actions, and the awful things he had said to Steven. He reclaims his confidence and runs off immediately, with the tribe struggling to tag along behind. Junior takes off to find Steven to mend his trust.

Meanwhile, Steven approaches a volcanic land in the scorching heat. In the mist of the smog, a tribe of Shy Guys are nearing towards him, proclaiming to his fellow tribe members that Steven is the "Great Him". As petrified as Steven is, he questions what the supposed Great Him does, and why he was specialised with the "fire king". The chief of the tribe, Kobo, explains that the lava has chosen Steven to follow on in its legacy, which would give the tribe power, and for that to play out, Steven would have to be sacrified by the tribe. Before the plan becomes in motion, a hurdling voice stops them. Junior had returned in the nick of time. He apologies wholeheartedly to Steven for being so selfish and rude. Steven forgives him with the same manner and tone. The warm-hearted moment infuriates the chief and his tribe, so they chase after them. But eventually, they lose all sight of them. Steven and Junior compensate and tell each other about their misadventures and venture on to finally rescue Ruby.

During Junior and Steven reminiscence, Bowser struggles to get the prism to work. Luckily, Kamek returns from the Mario universe with two of Bowser's noble troops, Skully Bones. Sr and Boom Boom. Bowser furiously asks why only two have arrived. Kamek implies that the others are on the way and guarantees him that Skully and Boom Boom will complete their assigned tasks. Bowser accepts and orders to send Skully to the mesa temple and Boom Boom to the icy place. As the two venture off to do their duties, Bowser once again orders powerful troops for each captured gem. The episode fades out with him mumbling to himself on how he will make the prism obey him.
