"The Special One" is the second episode of season 9 and 222nd episode overall of the American animated television series Beavis and Butt-Head.

Beavis stumbles upon a literal dumpster fire, which he imagines coming to life, and is told to do some good deeds.
Butt-Head does not appear in the episode proper, besides a voiceless cameo in a flashback as a young child.
Beavis is in a restaurant called "Mega Wings", where he asks the cashier if they have any matches or a lighter; he replies that they do not and tells him to leave. After Beavis leaves the restaurant, he discovers a dumpster fire behind the building, which he imagines coming to life. The fire shows Beavis a flashback of his third birthday, where it shows the fire talking to him, showing the origins of his fascination with the element. Back in the present day, the fire tells Beavis that he's his "special one", and gives him a list of deeds to do, starting with running around the track at his school four times, adding up to one mile; he was told to do this as the fire felt he needed some "good exercise." Next, he commands Beavis to pick up plastic bottles around the streets and put them in the recycling bin; Beavis reluctantly agrees after further convincing from the fire. After Beavis returns, he is told to read The Call of the Wild, and to write a two-page report on it. Beavis asks the fire why he keeps making him do these deeds, to which he replies that he's preparing Beavis for his future life. Tired of doing the deeds, Beavis regrettably tells the cashier in the restaurant about the dumpster, who extinguishes it. Afterward, Beavis finds a lighter on the ground and walks off into the night with it.
