Prison Break

"Prison Break" is the second segment of the tenth episode of the first season of Amphibia, and the twentieth episode overall.

It premiered on July 2, 2019, alongside "Toad Tax".

Synopsis
Far from Wartwood, Anne and Marcy's friend Sasha is captured by toads.

Plot
The episode begins with a message saying "Far, far away from Wartwood" in red letters. Inside Toad Tower, Grime is angry with the toads because they have all gotten "soft" and need to toughen up because frogs have been refusing to pay their taxes, causing rebellions all over Amphibia. Then, it shows Sasha crushing a bug who was eating her food with a brick in her prison cell. Percy comes in and says it's cricket Thursday and performs a music dance for Sasha who talks Percy into quitting his job. Grime comes in and Sasha brags that she got four other toads to leave with Percy being the fifth.

They eventually find out two giant herons were nearing toad tower. Percy is walking away, and everyone tries to get his attention to stop him as he was carrying instruments. The herons then start to instantly attack, attracted by Percy as he runs back to the tower. The toads take shelter with Grime being upset, because the toads are not doing anything, too scared of the herons.. Sasha gives Grime advice to compliment the toads instead of saying rude things to them. Grime then starts complimenting the toads and the toads instantly decide to attack the herons. The toads get rid of the herons and the toads go to have a grand feast.

Sasha then says to Grime that since she helped fight the herons she could go home and find her friends. Grime refuses to let her leave because she's manipulative and offers her to either stay at Toad Tower and become his second in command, or just go wandering in the woods. Sasha agrees to stay, with the episode ending with Sasha pulling out a picture of her and her friends saying, "Let's have some fun with this place."
