BMO Lost

Synopsis
BMO gets snatched away by a giant eagle and must find his way home with the help of a Bubble and a baby.

Plot
The episode starts off with a group of insects break-dancing while BMO watches them from the Tree Fort. He says that dancing is cool and attempts to dance the wave and the worm dance, but is interrupted when a giant eagle flies down and snatches BMO and takes it back to her nest. The bird feeds BMO to the baby birds, BMO attempts to escape but fails to and the eagles sleep.

When morning strikes, BMO escapes the baby eagle's mouth and looks to see where it is. It can see the Tree Fort very far away and begins to climb out of the nest. It climbs out off the eagle's nest, but is startled when a worm jumps out from under the nest. BMO slides down the mountain and fell on it's screen, which breaks, and shouts that Finn and Jake have to kiss it's face. After that, a Bubble comes out and asks if it might wallow with BMO. It says that it was a bubble, then BMO says that nothing can stop a bubble. The Bubble agrees and says that that is what others said to it and that it has been lost there for a long time. It says that BMO and it can just wait to be eaten by a big carnivore, but BMO disagrees and said that it knows two heroes that can help them. BMO says that when it gets home, they will help him find Bubble it's home. Bubble says that BMO's friends are great and begin to travel.

Through the woods, BMO and Bubble hear movement behind some bushes, Bubble gets scared and hides behind BMO. BMO graps a mushroom to attack the creature and throws it, which doesn't go very far. The creature turned out to be a large pink baby with a disfigured hand. BMO covers the hand with a leaf and calls the baby beautiful. Thinking the baby is lost, BMO begins to drag the baby along with the group. While dragging the baby, Bubble says they should name the baby Sparkle, BMO disagrees and thinks he looks more like a Ricky.

The group then comes across a bridge with no rails, debating whether to cross the bridge, but before they could decide, they hear a scream and let Ricky cross first. Unfortunately, the baby tumbles off playfully, and BMO jumps after him. They are caught in a moving stream, heading towards a waterfall, but Bubble saves them (by knocking a leaf over which hits a stick that hits a bottle that hits a rock, etc. until eventually hitting a tree trunk that blocks BMO and Ricky's fall.)

Once they were out of the water, BMO tells them his batteries are wet and takes them out, turning it off, the whole party falls a sleep until the next day, beginning when Ricky puts BMO's batteries back in. As they are walking, Ricky gets hungry, but is satisfied when he is given a rock to suck on. Shortly afterwards, they hear the scream again, and try to hide in a tree stub with a hole, but Ricky doesn't fit. The scream gets closer and closer, until it turns out that it is the baby's mother, she then finds her baby and reveals his name is Sparkle. Before she goes, she shames BMO and finally walks away.

Bubble whizzes through the forest and rests with BMO on a log, BMO explains he/she misses Sparkle (still calling him Ricky), but Bubble tells him/her that Sparkle is safe now, he then tells BMO that he saw a couple of bugs ahead while he was wondering around, whom BMO claims to recognize. They run across the land until they reach the tree fort, they ring the doorbell, and hear Finn and Jake's squabble, while they wait for the door to open, Bubble proposes to BMO, and shortly after BMO accepts happily, Jake opens the door and pops Bubble. BMO starts to grieve for Bubble's loss (which Finn and Jake mistake for acting). Suddenly, BMO hears Bubble's voice and thinks it's is going crazy, but Bubble explains that he is now Air says to BMO:



When hearing the speech, BMO waves it's arms around happily, and says: "Yay!"
