## Plot

The episode opens up with Boss Baby playing the game GET THAT BABY!. After two rounds of the game Tim finds Boss Baby and tries to grab Boss Baby. Boss Baby rejects Tim's grab and counters with a slap strike to the nose. Tim questions Boss Baby's motives and Boss Baby responds to Tim saying that he only lets his father and mother win as it amuses him dearly, and that only the people that he chooses can win. Tim sees this as a challenge and continues his attack on Boss Baby. Tim lunges at Boss Baby, Boss Baby dodge-rolls past Tim and teleports behind him levitating upside down, taunting Tim while doing so. Tim tries grabbing Boss Baby several times, Boss Baby evading each failed try on his body.

Tim knowing that he cannot win, he calls in his parents. Boss Baby scorns Tim's need to call for help, telling him that asking for help is a weakness. Boss Baby deactivates his levitation, not wanting to mind break his parents. Boss Baby forfeits and allows Tim to win. Ted says that he wants to play some more GET THAT BABY! ad Boss Baby whispers to Tim loudly that he shouldn't play anymore as he needs to go to his job, Boss Baby then says he will continue playing anyway.

Boss Baby and the rest of the Templetons play "GET THAT BABY!". During one round Boss Baby is about to be grabbed by Janice, but Boss Baby covers his eyes and becomes invincible. Boss Baby becomes very happy about his new ability and shouts in excitement. Boss Baby after a few rounds of GET THAT BABY! goes into Baby Corp and tries to sneak into the office but the infamous snitch Peg tells everyone Boss Baby has entered the domain, sticking her tongue out, leaving. Boss Baby notices that the office is in a state of emergency. Mega Fat CEO Baby enters the scene questioning where Boss Baby was and states that Boss Baby should be at the office to prevent critical threats. Mega Fat then starts to mock Boss Baby asking where he is, in the tone you would during play of peekaboo.

Mega Fats last question in his mocking tone is **"What happened to Boss Baby?"**, Boss Baby trying to be smart says that hes right here, laughing at Mega Fat. Mega Fat agrees and then says calmly **"What happened to you? If you're not doing your job, you're not really the boss and if you're not the the boss well... you're just a baby."** Boss Baby realizes how bad of a situation he's in and tries to make an excuse, but Tim interrupts him and grabs Boss Baby blowing into his stomach. Mega Fat unleashes a massive grin, Boss Baby interrupting Mega Fats near mocking him by asking him to just tell him what the threat is.

Mega Fat plays a beat for Magnus to rap to and Magnus delivers with one of the greatest raps to be ever made.
