## Plot

YCH is looking at a pile of objects (the contestants, with no faces or limbs (except for Clay, who has only limbs)).

YCH says "heya. you must be the contestants."

The screen changes to Clay telling Yellow, Doodle and Note "something new is happening!"

Note replies "k".

Behind Clay, YCH says "you guys! come over here!" as an exclamation mark appears over Clay's head. YCH continues with "you don't want to miss the challenge!"

The screen changes to the challenge instructions, which reads:

"The Challenge: you will be given a stew as well as various ingredients. you must make the tastiest stew, or you will be put up for elimination." while a stew drawing rotates slightly.

The instructions floats up and disappears.

On Plushie's team, Plushie says "I know what we should put in the soup." Angle corrects her, saying it's a stew, not a soup. Plushie replies "whatever". During this, Pixel is looking away and starts to leave. Papercraft turns around and sees something happen to Pixel offscreen shocking him.

Plushie places a mushroom in the stew and walks away. Angle approaches Papercraft and asks if he is ok. Papercraft walks to where Pixel went, leaving Angle confused. Then she is also shocked at something where Papercraft went.

The scene changes to Clay's team; Clay, Yellow, Note and Doodle.

Yellow says "i'm gonna put poison." And then he sprays a triangle of poison into the stew, which does not dissipate because the poison is solid. Doodle falls to his knees and tells Yellow "no! you can't do that!" Yellow turns around and sprays Doodle with poison, melting him. Clay takes the stew for later judgment.

The scene changes to where YCH, Plushie, Clay and Note are.

YCH announces "its time to try these stews." Plushie places down her stew and YCH splits open and sucks up the entire bowl while Plushie looks concerned. Clay looks confused and Note flies offscreen.

YCH asks "what?" when they notice they're getting weird looks.

YCH says "now its time for your stew." to Clay. YCH absorbs the stew while Plushie and Clay are shocked because the stew is poisoned.

YCH drops the broken bowl they didn't eat and looks sick. However, they say that they're immune to poison and move on to the judgment.

The judgment screen pops up.

Clay's Team's column shows:

* food poisoning
* gross stew
* killed a teammate

Plushie's Team's column shows:

* added mushroom
* first to arrive
* did not kill each other

Quartz's Team's column shows:

* did nothing
* nothing at all

The points for each team are -3, +3, and -2.

Quartz's team shows up and Quartz says "what are you talking about? we made the biggest stew! its right here!" The screen moves to the right and shows the large stew bowl. YCH appears next to the bowl, tips it slightly and jumps into the stew. They then jump out and tell Quartz's team "so... you made the stew bigger, but you didn't even put an ingredient! that means you lose, but you are NOT up for elimination."

The judgment screen pops up again, this time with only Quartz's team, which now has +0.1 points.

The voting screen appears with Clay's team up for elimination. The contestants eligible to be voted off of the game are Clay, Yellow, Note, and Doodle.

"choose a member from Clay's team to eliminate from the game!" can be read.
