When Bao Bao returns, and the King makes him his pet, Mao Mao must rescue his ex-partner.

This episode contains examples of:

  • The Bus Came Back: Bao Bao returns for the first time since “Bao Bao’s Revenge.”
  • Cool and Unusual Punishment: Badgerclops and Adorabat are tortured by being tied up and listening to the King play the harpsicord, which he plans to do for three whole days or until he gets bored.
  • High-Pressure Emotion: Mao Mao says that if he gets betrayed by Bao Bao one more time, he will literally explode. When Bao Bao chooses the King, Mao Mao starts twitching and the sound of a teakettle whistling is heard, then there's a big mushroom cloud explosion with his face (which is apparently metaphorical, since he's perfectly fine in the next scene).
  • Musical Pastiche: The song King Snugglemane and Bao Bao dance to is a parody of "Don't Stop Me Now" by Queen.
  • Pet Contest Episode: King Snugglemane decides to have a pet show to show off Bao Bao. He plans on winning because it's just him competing, until Mao Mao and Adorabat enter with Badgerclops and a fly, respectively, as their pets, with the intention of freeing Bao Bao.
  • Pun-Based Title: The episode’s title is a play on Bao Bao and the phrase, “best in show.”
