Dekker Moonboots (Tim playing his favorite astronaut character) tells Boss Baby he’s just going through a growth spurt, but how can that be when all of Baby Corp. drinks a formula to stay babies? Making matters worse, Mega Fat CEO Baby of Baby Corp threatens to fire any growing baby! So, Boss Baby, Jimbo, Staci, and Dekker Moonboots must find out who messed with the baby formula.

After a little investigating, Boss Baby and company learn that Vent Baby has altered the formula, but only because she longs to have her ideas heard at Baby Corp. Dekker Moonboots convinces Boss Baby that Vent Baby is worthy of a job at Baby Corp. So, Boss Baby gives her a position at the company alongside the restored baby formula, changing all baby employees back to their original state.
