The Jaloppy came tumbling after

Episode 17 of Wrong Way Up starts with Shadow's spot-on cartoon of last week's outro. W4sted shares his hitch analysis: Not only are the hinges misconfiguredW4sted identified an attachment bug that overwrites settings at random when subgrid blocks have the same names., but also the hitches are not at the same height, which explains the Jalopy's sluggishness. Splitsie plans to rebuild cargo, hitches, and the Neon Pumpkin. DE repairs the hangar and elevator and has many new runway ideas. W4stedspace has highlighted all damaged blocks he will repair on the HUD. Capac salvages valuable components. Texfire says hi in YouTube chat and is not playing this week. 
DE explains his saltiness last week with being "hangry"Send cookies to DE's P.O. Box!. Kanajashi is not allowed to bomb them today because he broke a Bot rule regarding projector use last week when he was the sole antagonist. Capac spots a new signal ahead named "the universal truth". W4sted and Splitsie discuss their enjoyment of building with mechanical blocks, despite the strange desync/lag they are experiencing today. 
(0:30) After chatting about "(in)directed energy", Splitsie admits he is greebling again instead of doing the planned repairs. W4sted reveals the only valid usecase for the auto-rotate shortcut (T): Building in no-jetpack scenarios. Splitsie attaches the new hinges and we can tell it will be anticlimactic because W4sted isn't worried. Capac accidentally breaks the umbrella off the Kaboom Caboose and Splitsie chides him because they missed watching the mishap. Capac defends himself saying he intended to surprise them with the Caboose rolling down the hill (and smashing into the hangar). Splitsie's eyes glaze over as the others discuss Star Trek, tabloids, and antique "game pro" magazines that come with cassette tapes. DE's design of a taller/longer runway conjures up memories of trucks getting stuck under bridges. 
(1:00) Splitsie repairs the Neon Pumpkin and prompts a conversation about genetically modified glow-in-the-dark pumpkins. Capac is ready to piston-jack flip the Kaboom Caboose and they are amused/terrified that build vision lets them input yotta-Newtons... Impressively, the Caboose rolls downhill and lands on its side, almost in its correct spot in the roadtrain. The piston jack has gone to another dimension where it will initiate Warpspace, and in three years, it will return as the ship Event Horizon.References to Warp from the Warhammer 40k game, and to the Event Horizon movie. W4sted jokingly welds Capac who will turn into the 6-Million Dollar Man "from Wish".References to the 6-Million Dollar Man TV series and to the cheap online shop Wish. 
Splitsie also succeeds in flipping his Neon Pumpkin and taxis it to the Jalopy where DE sarcastically suggests picking it up with Texfire's (destroyed) crane. After a discussion of online ads, DE encourages fans to buy ZMP body pillows. Splitsie clarifies that his merch stores rather offer dog bandanas; unless you read Japanese, you'll have to buy your body pillows in a maternity store. 
W4sted has analysed the trailer masses: Kaboom Caboose > Runway & Hangar > tractor > Printer & Crane. While Splitsie and Capac are distracted watching the clanging Caboose wreck, DE compares Capac's indecisiveness to a four-year-old's -- then proceeds to shove both of them and jetpacks away, giggling. 
If they abandon the Caboose wreck, where to store hydrogen? DE suggests in the floor and Capac suggests inside the tyres. Capac detects a signal from something called "Steve's Stop'n'Go" on an ice lake. DE's new and improved runway, hangar, and elevator are looking good. Since everyone keeps insulting Capac's flight skillsCalling Capac a "copy of a copy", they're alluding to his SE death count as well as A Nine Inch Nails song and a quote from the game Control., the Bots offer to let Capac (and W4sted!) join their ranks. Splitsie uses rotors and pistons, ostensibly to flip the Caboose wreck, but then just lets it spin and declares it kinetic art. 
(1:30) As they send the wreck spinning and flying off the mountain, the bots demand to know if they are dumping hazardous waste. Instead of doing something useful, Splitsie blows up the wreck for catharsis, prompting the Bots to call for cleanup in valley 5. Splitsie claims Capac made a deal with the devil so that others would experience joy from his misfortune -- Capac counters it was a deal with Germans and it's called Schadenfreude. Splitsie thinks that's funny because there are actually more Germans watching ZMP than devils , err, Australians. 
Splitsie asks the others to scout a path off this mountain. They are sceptical about Capac's new plane lift that is supposed to park planes in the unused upper hangar spaceA lift similar to the Australian invention of an automatic stacked record changer for a turntable.. Splitsie lands his plane smoothly on the new elongated runway. 
(2:00) Since Splitsie knows he cannot tell Capac how to design his plane lift, he joins W4sted on a scouting flight instead. DE can't scout since his plane wheels are sinking into the deck again. Scouting reveals that the way off the mountain is on the other side of a deep, long valley. Since their self-imposed rules disallow static grids, DE worries about the stability of a mobile bridge. Meanwhile the Bots have cleaned up the wreck of the Kaboom Caboose and threaten consequences. While DE helps Splitsie rebuild the front of the tractor, the Bots deliver certified mail to Capac who inquires warily whether the package is ticking. When Capac falls off as Splitsie drives, Splitsie admits he mistook Capac for an ant crawling on his screen. A Bot (Eisen/Lefty) climbs the ladder and delivers Capac the environmental notice. It says "Brokened it. Fine them all and twice on Sunday." That, plus Splitsie's reckless downhill driving, means they are dooomed"We are doooomed!" is a Futurama quote! Speaking of Splitsie's driving: W4sted's plane almost gets damaged. 
(2:30) When it starts raining, they reach the ravine edge. Alas the runway is too short to become a bridge. Splitsie's bridge building qualification stems from World (?) of Goo, whereas DE says it would be easier to dismantle the roadtrain and rebuild it on the other side. DE is worried about acid rain melting the bridge while they are halfway across, and pretends to be shocked by Top Gear drama being scripted. The first horizontal beam is 200m long and suspended from the front of the Jalopy. DE "walks the plank" while the others level the bridge outline on pistons across the chasm. Capac recommends DE to use a VR headset while swaying over chasms. Capac advises w4sted to line up his plane perfectly with the new lift. Opinions about the bridge risk rank from DE's "We're all gonna die" over Capac's "What is even happening?", W4sted's auto-levelling script idea, and chat's "Underengineered! Overengineered!", to Splitsie's optimistic "none of this should work, but it will, anyway." W4sted grinds gaps in the bridge to make it "proper rickety" while DE drops blocks into the abyss and can't see them hit the bottom... 
(3:00) Unless they fill the ravine with gravel, they might have to rename the roadtrain to droppy Jalopy soon. DE and w4sted tease each other by grinding and filling bridge holes under each other's feet. Several Twitch polls show a small majority of viewers doubting success. Splitsie and w4sted bet the bridge is safe, Capac is doubtful, and hangry DE joins the Yeah sayers after Naburine brings him cookies. The Bots' poll result is, "they will be going places..." Capac suggests taking the bridge with them after crossing. W4sted, Splitsie, Texfire, DE, Kanajashi have 5500, 4200, 3200, 2900, and 2000 hours of SE experience, respectively, while Capac's experience is mostly creative mode. Splitsie dies flying over a solar panel and Capac proclaims that this is karma since trees (that Splitsie keeps driving over) are nature's solar panels. The finished bridge weighs as much as the lightest trailer. 
(3:30) They release the bridge and it looks perfectly stable. Splitsie stops halfway across and tells DE to publicly verify that it's indeed a mobile grid. While the others all scream that they are about to slide off, Splitsie takes screenshots. 
The bridge was overengineered and they cross too easily... even the Bots are impressed. Splitsie proves that it's not a static grid by cutting the bridge in half, stranding Capac without hydrogen on the far side. Capac and Splitsie jump the gap and Capac barely survives. 
They almost leave Splitsie behind to get some burritos from the Stop'n'Go at the lake ahead. Meanwhile, the Bots complain about lack of building permits and bridge safety. The Jalopy stops in the dense fog and they decide to continue to the ice lake next week. Since they are approaching the polar region of planet Perseii, they won't need the large hydrogen storage that they needed to cross the equator.
