The second season of "The Mandalorian" continued on Friday with "Chapter 10," a nightmarish episode that included the near-death of the Child (also known as Baby Yoda) and a horde of ice-spiders. 

As always, we're here to bring you the best Twitter reactions fans had to the episode.

This week the best tweets centered around the adorable Child running into his "dad's" arms, and memes about how the little creature nearly committed genocide by eating the Frog Lady's eggs. 

People's hearts melted when the Child ran back to the Mandalorian after nearly being killed

At the start of the episode, the Mandalorian (whose real name is Din Djarin) was attacked by other bounty hunters, who were tracking the Child. One of the hunters got ahold of the Child and held him at knife point, but eventually the Mandalorian was able to kill the hunter and get the Child back. 

People also just loved seeing the Child safely back in the Mandalorian's arms, holding onto him the same way human babies often hold their parents' hands. 

Later in the episode, the Mandalorian gave the Child his own cape to use as a blanket to keep warm.

 

But the way the Child ate the Frog Lady's precious egg-children disturbed a lot of fans, and led to more memes

The main adventure in "Chapter 10" revolved around the Mandalorian helping a woman, referred to in the show simply as the Frog Lady, get to a new planet.

She had a container with her that held all the eggs left of her species — a key part of her mission to ensure her kind's survival.

But throughout the episode, the Child kept sneaking off and eating her eggs one by one. 

Viewers compared this inadvertant act of genocide to Thanos' plot in "Avengers: Infinity War" or the First Order and the Empire in the "Star Wars" movies.

"The Mandalorian" continues this week with "Chapter 11," which premieres on Friday at 3 a.m. ET on Disney Plus.
