This is the second episode with Speak, and it contains many revelations. First, we learn that Speak is not in fact a dog at all, but is in fact a Capybara (the largest rodent in the world). Then, we learn that if he had muscles Arthur would be a big jerk.

The chief villain of this episode is Baron Violent, a mix of The Punisher and The Red Scare. His power comes from a muscle belt, though. The Baron put the belt on 6 and beat up the Civic Minded Five, and with the belt on 7 he managed to slow up The Tick. Arthur manages to steal the belt, though, and when Tick takes Speak to the vet Arthur goes on a bit of a rampage.

Eventually, of course, Tick and Arthur come to a confrontation and eventully Arthur realizes that the belt has corrupted him and he stomps on it. But let's not forget what's really important here; this episode has lots and lots of Speak!
