* In "Charlene's Amazing Humans", Baby tattles on the eponymous humans for begging for food, and Fran tells him not to feed them because they're only allowed to eat after they perform. Baby promptly gives them his banana. Ordinarily, this wouldn't be so heartwarming, as doing the opposite of what he's told purely out of spite is a common thing for Baby to do, but not in this case. He is visibly appalled to discover that Charlene doesn't feed the humans, so he's clearly doing it for their sake, even calling out for them to share as they scramble for it.
