Helping Helps is an episode of the Happy Tree Friends internet series, and the third of the first season. This episode introduces Splendid, the superhero flying squirrel who does more harm than good. This is also the first episode that brings back a previously dead character.
HTF Episode Description
Poor Giggles has a broken leg and is limping along when she's nearly crushed and drowned in a tidal wave caused by a dam breaking. Luckily, Splendid the flying squirrel saves the day, but not without incident! This episode is the only time you meet Giggles' mom, one of the only adults in Happy Tree Friends. Do you know who the other adult character is?
Plot
The episode begins with Giggles happily walking through the forest, with an unexplained injured leg and crutches. Suddenly, a water dam behind her breaks, and water is seen rushing toward her. Giggles starts screaming, and her cries are heard by a superhero flying squirrel named Splendid, who then puts down the acorn he was eating and immediately zooms off to save her.
We cut back to Giggles, who is seen desperately trying to outrun the tsunami of water. Splendid tries his hardest to reach Giggles in time. With all hope lost and the tsunami reaching her, a tear runs down Giggles' eye as her death is just mere seconds away. But at the last second, Splendid swoops in and snatches Giggles just before the water crashes down.

Having been saved, Giggles begins cheering over her survival, satisfying Splendid. Unfortunately, he flies too close to a tree, and a protruding branch beheads Giggles. With blood spewing out of Giggles' dead body, Splendid begins panicking. When he spots an acorn lying next to a tree, he gets an idea.
He picks up the acorn and rings the doorbell to Giggles' house. The person who opens the door is Giggles' mother, who is seen crying at the supposed death of her daughter from the tsunami. When she opens her eyes after drying them off, she's suddenly surprised and joyful. Splendid then shows the distraught mother Giggles' dead body with the acorn he found earlier on the neck. On the acorn is a poorly drawn face, representing Giggles' face. The mother, not noticing anything, picks up the Giggles' dead body and hugs it. Splendid then gives a salute to a job well done. As he flies off, Giggles' mom bids farewell, and Giggles' "head" falls off, splattering blood on the mother, who is still unaware of her daughter's death.
