== Summary ==
After their arduous fight against Ju'Reshoggoth, Smol Nozomi, Meta Knight, and Santa Claus recover in the elevator of The Voice's tower and decide to rescue the captive Figments. They ascend to floor 77 and encounter Haruka Amami, disguised as a security guard and also looking to free the Figments, who are held captive in a vault in the current floor. As guards approach their location, Meta Knight gifts Haruka his cape to help her escape, granting her wings and invisibility. Santa then uses his magic to open the vault and the heroes rescue the Figments from their cells: Tito Dick, Sens, Felix the Cat, and Donkey Kong.
In the vault, another Figment is found encased in a vat: Grand Dad, who had helped fight against The Voice's troops during the initial takeover. The heroes attempt to free him, but find difficulty with detaching one of the vat's tubes, which appears to be siphoning his power to an upper floor, prompting them to ascend further. As soon as they enter the elevator, however, President Haltmann intercepts and launches them straight to his massive laboratory at floor 99. Haltmann reveals that his true motivation with his takeover was not for increased profits, but rather to bring back his daughter, Susie, by manifesting her as a Figment through the SiIva A.I., an artificial recreation of the original SiIvaGunner which shares his power to create Figments. Haltmann then commands the A.I. to engage the heroes in a battle.
The A.I. swiftly attacks the three combatants, evading all of their moves and summoning assistance from the Fighting Reject Team through a rift in reality, then begins charging up a massive energy sphere as the heroes realize that they must destroy Haltmann's computer to defeat the A.I.. Meta Knight jumps in front of Haltmann to divert the energy sphere towards him and, forgetting he no longer has his cape, gets saved from the blast by Nozomi. With the computer now exposed, Santa attempts to destroy it with his coal cannon, but is interrupted by Sean Kingston riding a jetski through another rift. As the A.I. begins attacking again with an AirPod Shotty, Nozomi hijacks Haltmann's vessel and causes the A.I. to malfunction and commence an emergency shutdown, completely deactivating the laboratory and leaving behind his own core, a pitch-black sphere. With his work now thoroughly destroyed, Haltmann lies defeated and Santa embraces him, offering a chance to redeem himself and leave his past behind. However, as Haltmann accepts Santa's embrace, he is suddenly killed by electrocution at the hands of The Voice Inside Your Head. Due to Haltmann's nature as a Figment, the heroes lose all memories of him, and The Voice challenges them to come to his office.
The heroes ascend to the hundredth floor and find The Voice seated in his dimly-lit office. The lights turn on, revealing numerous guards, Spherics, and Stringbots filling the room, and The Voice advises the heroes to surrender. A fight then ensues as they attempt to defeat The Voice, until they are suddenly met by the appearance of the rescued Figments, including Grand Dad, who manage to overpower the troops. Grand Dad attempts to knock out The Voice, but gets blasted out of the tower by The Voice with a laser gun, and the heroes are left surrounded. The Voice offers to let them live, but as subordinates helping him produce Christmas Spirit to power his world domination, which they outright refuse. As The Voice prepares to fire another shot, Haruka appears with the wounded Grand Dad in her arms as the heroes feel the presence of another being, who has felt Grand Dad's pain and had grown restless outside of the city: SiIvaGunner himself.

== Trivia ==
*This video marks the longest gap between episodes of the Christmas Comeback Crisis, being uploaded more than six years after the release of the tenth episode, "I Love Her".
*The episode was teased during the MAGFest 2018 SiIvaGunner Panel, shortly after the release of "I Love Her". The panel confirmed that Grand Dad would finally make his proper appearance in the series (after briefly showing up in "Prologue"). An illustration of Grand Dad was also shown. This illustration is only seen briefly at 29:33.
*An early version of the first few seconds of this episode was teased in "Main Theme - Vine". This version lacks background music and pans up for its establishing shot instead of down. 
*When Santa uses his magic to open the locked door, the "odd sound, like jingling bells" heard is the default sound effect of hitting a perfect note in .
*Santa's mention of "an unstable diffusion from a digital mind" is a reference to the text-to-image generative AI model Stable Diffusion. Haltmann's subsequent protest about his trust in "those tech brothers" references the slang term "tech bro".
*In the animated segment when Nozomi briefly takes control of Haltmann's vehicle, her movements directly mirror that of Haltmann immediately before his boss battle in Kirby Planet Robobot.
**Additionally, sound effects in this animation are pulled from the same sequence in Kirby Planet Robobot, and Nozomi's laugh is an edited version of Haltmann's laugh.
*As shown by the death of the SiIva A.I., the events of this episode take place concurrently with the A.I.'s shutdown in "Goodbye to a World Fusion Collab".
**This is further referenced by the track "Quality Insurance" playing an arrangement of "Goodbye to a World" during its death, and the catchphrase also referencing the song.
*The Voice's line "Welcome... to a terrifying reality." was foreshadowed in the rip "35 Legends".
*Shortly before the premiere, there was a community post and tweet asking viewers to not spoil the episode.Community post by SiIvaGunner; January 12, 2024.Tweet by @GiIvaSunner; January 12, 2024. Included with both is an image parodying one posted by Tom Hardy for the 2018 film Venom.
