Baby Bottle is the second episode of The Cuphead Show!. It comes after Carn-Evil, and its successor is Ribby and Croaks. Baby Bottle makes his debut appearance here, where he acts as the main antagonist.
Plot
Cuphead and Mugman are at home when Elder Kettle goes out for his weekly mustache waxing. Before he leaves, he lays out several rules, which include "no fighting", and not touching his radio. Once he leaves, Cuphead and Mugman immediately start fighting, but are careful when around Elder Kettle's radio. While they're distracted fighting, the doorbell rings, and they answer it expecting Elder Kettle to be back. Instead, Baby Bottle is on their doorstep, in a bassinet, with a note reading "Please take care of baby". Cuphead and Mugman are immediately charmed by Baby Bottle's cuteness, and bring them inside.
Baby Bottle quickly warms up to Mugman, even calling him "Mama", but they immediately cry when held by Cuphead. Mugman leaves to make Baby Bottle some baby food.
Cuphead again tries to play with Baby Bottle, but it sprays him with milk and runs rampant around the living room, almost breaking Elder Kettle's radio. Mugman then walks back into the room and sees the baby, who has just broken the fishbowl, on top of the piano. Mugman's only comment is that broken glass on the floor is dangerous for a baby. Cuphead and Mugman head outside to debate over what the baby needs, but the baby locks them both outside. They both panic, even more so when they hear Elder Kettle's radio turn on. To prevent the baby from breaking it, they both knock the door down to get back in and pull the two apart.
Mugman, upset, calls the baby a 'bad baby', in which Baby Bottle reacts with an onimous 'Mama' alongside a look that concerned Cuphead. Mugman brushes it off and assures him there is nothing to worry about, briefly leaving the room and re-entering with a teddy bear he once had. However, when given to Baby Bottle, its head is pulled off. This sparks in Mugman a need to 'kill it'. Cuphead stops him, reminding him that it's a baby. Mugman calls it evil, and points to it. At that moment, it was gone.
The lights go off adurptly as an anxious Cuphead and Mugman are spun back and forth until they're eventually blinded by milk. They hit the antique china, jumping out of the way to avoid getting crushed. Cuphead runs to the phone to call for help, but gets no answer; he soon discovers that Baby Bottle cut the wire.
The sound of the radio goes off, and the boys look in horror to see that the baby was holding it. Baby Bottle, throwing the radio, prompts Cuphead and Mugman to try and catch it. Which they do. However, the radio is broken with a hammer. The boys, the radio having been broken, do not know what to do. Cuphead notices the incoming dresser, and seconds later the two are by it. He then notices a chair coming towards it, and they both manage to dodge it and reach for the chandelier. They then notice Baby Bottle with a set of scissors in hands, about to cut the rope connecting to the chandelier, the two plead for it not to. It doesn't listen, and the two fall to the ground. The living room is covered in flames; Cuphead and Mugman throw the chandelier off them towards the door, ripping it off its hinges.
Elder Kettle returns from his wax, and is surprisingly okay with the living room being destroyed, only getting angry when he sees his radio broken. Cuphead and Mugman both point to Baby Bottle. Fooled by the baby's cuteness, Elder Kettle doubts Cuphead and Mugman until the baby rips off his mustache, causing the aging kettle to scream. He calls the baby a "bad baby", prompting Baby Bottle to once again ominously say "Mama", and beat up Elder Kettle. The Cup bros are then forced to drag Elder Kettle out of the house. After preparing, the trio arrive back home, only for the baby to be sound asleep in their bassinet.
Later, they leave Baby Bottle at another woman's house, and shake hands happily.

- This is the first episode where someone debuts as an antagonist, albeit not the main one.
- The original title was "Bringing Up The Baby Bottle". It's unknown why it was changed.
