Dead at Eight
Muscle Man is creating a water slide and Mordecai and Rigby come by. Rigby and Mordecai try to convince Muscle Man to ride it but he continuously disagrees. He eventually gives in and rides it. When he has almost reached the end, the support beams break and he crashes into a tree across the lake and lands on a thick branch near the bottom, knocked out. He then slips and crashes onto his car and lifts himself up, with a bruised face and sticks stuck inside. Death then comes by on his motorbike and raises his scythe to kill Muscle Man but M&R stop him and promise him that they will do anything. Death agrees that if they babysit his son while he and his wife go out for their anniversary, he will spare Muscle Man's life. Death puts Muscle Man in an amulet and hands it to Rigby. At Death's house, they walk in and Death's wife gives the two their son, Thomas, and the couple drive off to a restaurant. M&R put Thomas in bed but Thomas refuses. R&M look at him curiously and ask why he can talk and he answers this by saying that he's over 400 years old and that he will only sleep once they play. Mordecai and Rigby give him different things but he destroys them. They feed him warm milk but he doesn't want any so he eats sugar and cookies. He goes on a sugar high and bounces around until Death calls saying that they are coming home. M,R&MM find Thomas in a room with books. Mordecai reads a story called the Hungry, Hungry Soul Sucking Death Worm. At the end, Thomas tells the two to pull the final tab, Rigby and Mordecai pull it and releases the Soul Sucking Death Worm. Thomas tells the guys to feed Muscle Man to the worm so they will live. After a long chase, Rigby gets the worm back in the book and Thomas refuses to sleep due to him nearly getting killed. At just about 8.00pm, a chandelier in the room falls and lands on Thomas, knocking him out. Death and his wife come home and find Thomas sleeping and Death brings back Muscle Man. In the end, Death thanks them and tells them to be wary since Muscle Man is going to die soon in a hot dog eating contest. Death closes the door and Rigby wonders how they get home.
