Premise
In the aftermath of Wyatt's 21st birthday, a new foe rises up to take vengeance on Skinny-Webz.

Plot
On May 2nd, 2014, Quentin waits behind a bar for someone. He diddles with his hands before hearing a scream. Upon investigating the scream, he finds the dead body of Homeless Ben. He searches the corpse for something but is unable to find it. In the distance, Quentin sees Skinny-Webz. He assumes that Skinny-Webz has stolen the weed that belonged to him.

Two months later, Wyatt has abandoned his life and run off to the Kava Desert. A mirage of Homeless Ben appears and tells him that "he's lost the way of the skinny". Wyatt declares that he is Skinny-Webz no longer. He cannot go back to Claire after the events of his 21st birthday.

Meanwhile, Claire is walking home from a date with her new boyfriend Freddy. He leans in to kiss her, but before he can he is hit in the chest with an apple. Barry reveals himself and hits Freddy with the apple again, knocking him unconscious. Claire reprimands Barry, but before he can defend himself, Quentin shows up in full costume now known as "Mr. Eio". He asks where Skinny-Webz is, to which Claire replies that "he left". Mr. Eio uses his powers and renders Claire unconscious. He then escapes with her. Barry gets up and says "Aw shit, here we go again."

Barry tracks down Wyatt and tells him that Claire needs to be rescued. Wyatt is hesitant, but Barry convinces him otherwise. They drink hard liquor and a drunk montage ensues. Following this intense montage, Wyatt and Barry power-up as "Skinny-Webz" and "Gublin". They now have newer upgraded costumes. They run off to rescue Claire.

Claire is tied to a chair in Mr. Eio's lair. He reveals that "Skinny-Webz" stole the weed that Mr. Eio planned on receiving from Homeless Ben. Skinny-Webz and Gublin enter sneakily. During this interrogation, Mr. Eio's roommate enters and demands rent before leaving. Mr. Eio gets stressed about this. Skinny-Webz uses this encounter to expose himself and Gublin. Gublin reveals the weed to Mr. Eio, turns out he's the one who had it all along. Mr. Eio demands his weed back in return for Claire. Skinny-Webz and Gublin simply engage him in a fight. Mr. Eio is able to knock both of them down. Seeing no other option, Gublin hands Skinny-Webz the weed. He ingests it. This triggers a vision where he sees Gublin and Claire complimenting him as well as Mr. Eio demeaning him. Finally, he sees Homeless Ben, who tells him to say the words: "Shatti Tatti my Brahti!" Skinny-Webz snaps out of his trance. Mr. Eio finds he is unable to use his powers. Skinny-Webz webs him up, defeating him. The drunken delusion wears off, and Wyatt, Barry, and Quentin are back in their civilian forms. Claire rounds them all up.

They wake up the next morning in Claire's apartment. Quentin exits, flipping them off as he does it. Wyatt apologizes for running off while Barry apologizes for assaulting Freddy. Claire accepts their apology, but proudly states that she's done being the "DD". She picks up a flask and starts drinking.

Development
During production of Skinny-Webz, ideas for a sequel were given to director Justin Lewis by Steven Portoles and Jack Kockenmeister. Lewis was unsure about the probability of a sequel to Skinny-Webz, but wasn't entirely against it. In May 2019, Jack Kockenmeister, Wyatt Daane, and Steven Portoles came up with the story for Honey I'm Home, as well as other potential Skinny-Webz sequels, while waiting in line on Hollywood Boulevard to see Jimmy Kimmel Live! The idea was pitched to Justin Lewis, who opted not to direct the film in favor of The End (2020). However, he gave Jack Kockenmeister his blessing to direct the film.

The first draft of the script was finished in July 2019. Wyatt Daane, Zach Louis, Katie McDonald, and Kenneth Ryan all agreed to reprise their roles in the sequel. Steven Portoles was also cast as Mr. Eio, after expressing interest in playing the "Skinny-Webz version of Mysterio" in the sequel. The final draft of the script was completed in October 2019.

Filming began in November 2019, lasting three days. The first official trailer was released on November 23rd, 2019. Post-production lasted several months, allowing Justin Lewis and editor Dylan Powell time to edit this film as well as The End (2020). Honey I'm Home was released on April 25, 2020, in which a video of the cast and crew reacting to the final cut was also uploaded to YouTube.
