Don't worry. He's fine.
Helpy: Everything is at stake and Tigtone is on a stake!

Tigtone and Helpy go on their greatest quest yet when they have to finally stop Prince Lavender and Spaceress from taking over the world and restore peace to Propecia. But when Tigtone is beheaded and his head is kept magically alive by a necrolance (a stake that gives life to anything that is stabbed into it), he must find a way to take advantage of the magical properties of the necrolance and Helpy's regenerative powers to give him a substitute to his body.


  • The Determinator: Even if he's just a head stuck on a stake, Tigtone manages to navigate the castle with nothing but his chin and even manages to kill a guard in the process.
  • Double-Meaning Title: Referring both to how this is a high-stakes adventure and the fact that Tigtone's head is stuck on a stake.
  • Growing Muscles Sequence: In control of Helpy's body, Tigtone forces it to generate instead of regenerate, which makes it expand into a hulking mass strong enough to rip Propecia itself out of the ground and toss into the space rift.
  • Heel–Face Turn: King Prince Lavender reconciles with his parents KingQueen and they decide to adopt Spaceress into their family.
  • Off with His Head!: Tigtone is beheaded in the Cold Opening and stays like that for the rest of the plot. Later on, Tigtone beheads Helpy and places the latter's head into his body, causing Helpy to take control of Tigtone's corpse.
  • Sequel Episode: To "Tigtone vs. Nothing" and "Tigtone and the Seven-Headed Serpent of Kloom". Tigtone and Helpy finally decide to do something about the Prince King Lavender situation and the broken rift in space time.
  • Special Edition Title: The letters in "TIGTONE" are covered in the Alien Kudzu created by Spaceress.
  • Surprisingly Happy Ending: In comparison to the first season which ended on a comedically dark note, the second season (and the series as a whole) ends this way. Propecia finally recovers from the chaos from "Tigtone vs. Nothing" (relatively speaking) and the KingQueen family dysfunction has subsisted. Tigtone still doesn't have his body, but he doesn't care.
  • Uncertain Doom: Command-or Mathis is presumably killed off after turning into stone. However the episode leaves it ambiguous if its permanent.
