## Episode Plot

### Cold Open

The episode starts with the pigs, King Pig, Regular Pig and Clone Pig talking about a new show that they are going to appear on. Clone Pig also brings up the idea of their separation, but King Pig shuts that idea down by exclaiming that they are inseparable. Clone Pig agrees and they carry on their conversation.

We then pan over to see Moonlight and Igor, distancing themselves from a group of Beanie Boos. Igor questions why Moonlight won't join up with the rest of the group, with Moonlight stating that he's new and gets lots of anxiety being in large crowds. Igor chooses stays back with Moonlight and the two strengthen their friendship. Princess Jake buts into their conversation and states that she wishes that she had her best friend with her. She then proceeds to mope about Sully being lazy and not wanting to join her on the show.

We then pan over to the aforementioned group of Beanie Boos, of which Coconut, Paddie, Tabitha, Fetch, Grindal, Yips, Heather, and Dottie are all present. Coconut makes a joke about someone confusing his son for a pineapple and the group laughs. Tabitha laughs along too, but he doesn't understand the context of the joke. Diverting the conversation, Tabitha comments on the state of the group and Coconut follows up by asking the Paddie, Grindal, Yips, and Heather if they are enjoying their new home on Angry Birds Island. Paddie responds with a pleased yes, while Grindal is still a tad unsure. Paddie tells Grindal that it's okay and asks for his name. The two exchange their names and Paddie proposes the idea that two should become friends, considering the fact that they are both new to the island. Grindal is unconfident in this idea as he tells Paddie that they both live in separate forts, thus distancing their potential friendship.

We then move to Scarlet, Skipper and Clone Bowser, with Scarlet picking on Clone Bowser while he broods about missing Minnie. Scarlet tells Clone Bowser that no one cares about his relationship issues and that he should just get over it. Skipper makes a knowing look towards the camera/audience, signifying that Scarlet and Clone Bowser are one in the same. After that brief scene, both Scarlet and Skipper promptly leave, leaving Clone Bowser alone with his thoughts.

### Getting the Teams Together

Scooter then enters frame right and the group of Beanie Boos all take notice. Coconut states that Scooter isn't needed since there is already 20 contestants in Town Square. Scooter responds with the fact that he is hosting again, and Coconut has a dramatic flashback to Scooter's Gameshow. Fetch asks Coconut if he had a dramatic flashback the audience couldn't see because of editing budgets and Coconut responds with a sound "yes". Pattie then questions what a "Scooter's Gameshow" is just before Scooter loudly interjects and tells everyone to line up, as they'll be put into teams.

We then get a wide shot of all the contestants lined up as Scooter thanks the 20 of them for showing up. Scooter then temporarily forgets the name of the show but misremembers and incorrectly introduces the show as "Party Panic" to the contestants. Scooter explains that the show will feature all 20 of the contestants battling it out for a prize and that said prize will be awarded to the last one standing. Scooter also mentions that viewers can have a direct impact on the show by voting on his Boostagram page with the name of the contestant they want to see leave the show. He mentions Battle for Dream Angry Bird as a point of comparison as the two shows both follow a similar formula. Coconut and Fetch question how Scooter is going to assemble the teams, asking if they need a challenge to determine said teams. Scooter then uses his Movie Magic to separate the contestants into their new teams.

After their division, the contestants are given a brief moment to come face to face with their new teams. King Pig exclaims that Clone Pig is on the wrong team. Scooter promptly ignores this complaint from King Pig and grants the teams the ability come up with team names. Scooter starts with the team on the right which consists of Bananas, Yips, Dottie, Scarlet, Skipper, Toon Link, Princess Jake, Heather, Clone Pig, and Tabitha. Bananas steps up, acting as a team leader and chooses the name, The Fruities for their team. He asks the group if the name he chose is good and nobody objects with the majority of the team not paying attention or chatting with other members. Heather and Skipper are the only two to verbally agree with Bananas' team name decision. Scooter then accepts the name and moves swiftly over to the team on the left consisting of King Pig, Regular Pig, Clone Bowser, Mike the Knight, Fetch, Coconut, Grindal, Moonlight, Igor, and Paddie. King Pig declares himself the team leader and wants the team name to be "The SunFogs", in reference to his ongoing mystery, The SunFog Mystery. Grindal pipes up and exclaims that that team name is terrible and that their team name needs to be a good name. Scooter then takes this literally and declares their team is The Good Names. Grindal makes one last plea for a chance to change the team name, but Scooter swiftly moves past this remark and into the introduction of the challenge.

The challenge for this episode is relativity simple: the two teams must find and return all of Scooter's "lost" Amiibos. Whichever team finds and returns the most Amiibos will win the challenge, while the losing team will be put up for elimination. Scooter then exclaims, "On your set, get marked, GO!" and the challenge begins.

### The Challenge

Heather initially tries to take the initiative and devise a plan, however, Bananas dashes off in search for an Amiibo reasoning that if they don't find the Amiibos quickly, they'll lose. King Pig then takes notice of Bananas and sprints after him in an attempt to gain the upper hand. Noticing King Pig's shenanigans, Regular Pig follows closely behind, leaving the rest of the team to come up with a plan to gather enough Amiibos to win. Grindal proposes the idea that he, Fetch, and Coconut will search elsewhere, opposite the direction of King Pig, Regular Pig, and Bananas. This leaves Moonlight, Igor, and Clone Bowser to stand idly by not hunting for any Amiibos. After Heather gathers his bearings, he then realizes the Bananas dashed off and chases after him as well.

Bananas is then seen climbing atop Point's Peak, the tallest artificial structure on Angry Birds Island, with King Pig still at the base of the structure. Regular Pig and Heather shortly arrive on the scene which sparks King Pig to start climbing. Regular Pig attempts to persuade King Pig away from chasing Bananas. King Pig soon falls off Point's Peak due to him lacking significant climbing abilities and proper hands. Bananas, on the other hand, reaches the summit to find an Amiibo. He then tosses it down to Heather, but the Amiibo hits Heather on the head and knocks him down. Bananas quickly apologises, but it's unclear if Heather actually heard the apology or not.

We then cut to Fetch, Coconut, and Grindal with an Amiibo at the Museum of Rare Artefacts. Fetch then proposes the idea of going after more Amiibos with the one they currently have, however Coconut and Grindal both turn down this idea. The two convince Fetch to play it safe and return the Amiibo back to the Party Peril Play Area in case if they run into any members from the other team. Fetch agrees and jumps out the door and lands face first with the Amiibo. Coconut and Grindal follow shortly behind with Grindal flying down and Coconut climbing down. The two worriedly ask if Fetch is okay and he seems to be fine, so they return the Amiibo to Scooter.

Afterwards, we cut to Clone Pig, Skipper, Toon Link, Tabitha, Dottie, Yips, and Princess Jake, with Clone Pig attempting to persuade Scarlet into helping the team. Scarlet reuses to help which causes Princess Jake gets up and walk away. Clone Pig instructs Dottie and Yips to go after Princess Jake while Tabitha, Toon Link, and Skipper should stay and try to persuade Scarlet. Clone Pig states that he'll continue to search for more Amiibos, that way the team is as productive as possible. Everyone agrees and they all separate to do what they were instructed to do.

Paddie meets up with Fetch, Coconut, and Grindal and asks them if they had found any Amiibos yet. Coconut tells him that Fetch actually just turned one in, making the score 0 to 1. Paddie responds with relief and goes of to search for more Amiibos. Fetch asks Coconut, and Grindal if he can go with Paddie and the two allow him to go. The two also tell Fetch to not get lost when following after Paddie.

We then cut back to Clone Bowser talking to the remaining Good Names, Igor and Moonlight. Clone Bowser awkwardly says that he's going to look for Amiibos, but he then proceeds to talk with King Pig and Regular Pig. He meets up with the two and asks to be in their alliance.

We cut away from them for a brief moment to see Mike the Knight stuck in a cup trying to get an Amiibo across the Apartment Complex Bridge. Toon Link hears Mike the Knight talking about escaping his plastic prison and Toon Link realises that Mike the Knight is about to get an Amiibo. He then quickly climbs up to the top of the bridge and steals the Amiibo away from Mike the Knight. After some light bickering, Toon Link then climbs back down the bridge and returns the Amiibo back to Scooter. During this moment in time, Scooter is having a conversation with Heather, with Heather exclaiming his excitement for obtaining an Amiibo. With Toon Link's contribution, this puts the Fruities ahead by one Amiibo and makes the score 1 to 2.

We then cut back to Clone Bowser talking with King Pig and Regular Pig. The two pigs are initially unsure whether or not to let Clone Bowser into their alliance, with King Pig being the more hostile of the two pigs. King Pig explains that Clone Bowser is a creep due to the fact that he's going after Minnie, one of the pigs childhood friends and Clone Bowser's love interest, despite the fact that she got out of a crappy relationship with her mentor figure, Nigel. After much begging, the two finally allow Clone Bowser to join their alliance, with King Pig still showing some reluctance to the idea. We then pan upwards to the top of Point's Peak to meet up with Princess Jake, Yips, and Dottie. The two attempt to persuade Princess Jake to help hunt for Amiibos, but Princess Jake complains about the fact that her best friend Sully isn't on the show. She explains that the show feels childish and stupid and also mentions that she wants to be off the show as soon as possible.

The screen then cuts to black and Scooter informs the audience that the contestants were hunting for the Amiibos for quite some time.

### Conclusion

After Scooter gathers up all the contestants, he then reveals that the Good Names won the first challenge and are the "Amiibo Hunters of the Day". He reveals the score to be 5 to 4 in The Good Names favour. Scooter mentions that the Fruities team dynamic didn't work at all and proceeds to ask why the Fruities didn't play so well. Yips then complains about Princess Jake's lack of motivation and Toon Link, Tabitha, and Skipper had no luck persuading Scarlet to participate in the challenge. After that, Scooter explains how the viewers could become voters by heading off to his Boostagram page and by typing the name of the contestant they want to see leave the show.

The voting screen shows up with the ten members of the Fruities.

### Post Voting Scene

We see Mike the Knight still stuck in his cup calling out for assistance. Nobody seems to respond and the nearby light shuts off, causing him to sit in darkness.

## Recovered Alternate Intro

### Cold Open

The episode starts with the pigs, King Pig, Regular Pig and Clone Pig talking about a new show that they are going to appear on. Clone Pig also brings up the idea of their separation, but King Pig shuts that idea down stating that they are inseparable. The dialogue between these three pigs is a tad different and the three appear to be less confident than in the final version of the opening.

Shortly after their conversation, we pan over to Moonlight and Igor. Igor questions why Moonlight won't join up with the rest of the group, with Moonlight stating that he's new and gets lots of anxiety being in large crowds. Igor chooses stays back with Moonlight and the two strengthen their friendship. The conversation between these two is a fair amount shorter and Moonlight's nervousness is quite lacking.

We then pan to the side and see Princess Jake sat next to Toon Link and Bananas. She then proceeds to complain about her her best friend not being on the show with her and proceeds to lay down. Moonlight and Igor overhear her complaints and Igor calls her a "drama queen", which gives Moonlight a slight chuckle.

We then pan over to a group of Beanie Boos, consisting of Coconut, Paddie, Tabitha, Fetch, Grindal, Yips, Heather, and Dottie. Coconut exclaims to the group that he's excited to be on a new reality television show and that it's going to be "super cool." Fetch then brings up the fact that he is on the team known as The House Builders. He states that he got hurt the last time that they built a house and Paddie chimes in stating that The House Builders are really funny and they're great a making house construction entertaining. Tabitha is confused who Paddie is and asks for his name. Paddie responds and Tabitha follows his response with words of encouragement. Tabitha seemingly wanted to be friends with Paddie, however, the two live in different forts on the opposite sides of town. Grindal chimes into the conversation and exclaims that he wishes that the had some friends outside of his home fort. Yips and Heather then decide to befriend Grindal since the three of them all have horns and can do magic. Dottie seemingly doesn't care about establishing any friendships and only wants whatever the prize is. He then asks the rest of the group what exactly it is and everyone seems unsure what it could be. Everyone is so in the dark that they don't even know who the host is.

We then move to Scarlet and Skipper, with Scarlet asking Skipper who they should go pick on next. Skipper responds with kindness and explains that picking on people is mean and that they shouldn't do it. Scarlet then shrugs off Skipper's comment and proceeds to insult Clone Bowser, who's sat nearby. Clone Bowser mopes about missing Minnie and Scarlet tells Clone Bowser that no one cares about his relationship issues. He then exclaims that he should just get over it and calls him a "drama queen." Scarlet corrects himself stating that he's should be nowhere near royalty. Skipper then apologises on Scarlet's behalf and the conversation ends there.

We then pan over to Mike the Knight brooding in a corner and complaining about how much he hates "that pesky Toon Link." He then continues to ramble about how stupid he thinks Toon Link is as we pan away from him and over to Scooter, who enters frame right.

### Getting the Teams Together

Scooter introduces himself to the group of Beanie Boos and Coconut, Fetch, and Tabitha all question why Scooter has shown up. Tabitha states that Scooter isn't needed since there is already 20 contestants in Town Square. Scooter responds with the fact that he is hosting again, and Coconut has a dramatic flashback to Scooter's Gameshow. Fetch asks Coconut if he had a dramatic flashback we couldn't see because of editing budgets and Coconut responds with a sound "yes". Heather and Grindal both question what a "Scooter's Gameshow" is just before Scooter buts in and tells everyone to line up, as they'll be put into teams.
