## Plot

### Beginning

Pen runs up to Announcer and tells him how his team finished the jigsaw puzzle. Pencil and Match are talking about how many votes they received. Bubble tries to tell them how many votes she got, but gets popped by Announcer, who says that he only got one vote by "artofliving123." Pencil realizes that Announcer murdered Bubble.

### Picking contestants for the challenge

Since there was no Cake at stake last time, Announcer goes straight to the challenge. He says that it's a relay race, and Firey steps on Coiny's foot. Golf ball says that her team has more members than the Squishy cherries, giving them an unfair advantage. Announcer than says that only 5 people on the Squashy grapes will go. Pen then says that they'll get to choose the best players, and his team can't. Bubble decides that Announcer should randomly choose who goes. Announcer uses a wheel to decide which 5 participate in the challenge. Snowball spins the wheel, but it goes to a commercial before it lands on someone.

### Blocky's funny doings international

Blocky tells you how you can put a Ice cube Recovery center on a spring on top of a tree and watch Ice cube die infinitely. It ends with "This program was brought to you by "Blocky's funny doings international,"" which spells BFDI.

### Back to the contestant picking

The wheel lands on Firey, much to Coiny's dismay. Snowball tells him that he better be a fast runner, and Firey proves it. Ice cube tells him that he's a fast runner, and Firey thanks her. Coiny calls Firey slow, and Firey doesn't thank him. Leafy spins the wheel and Rocky barfs on a piece. The wheel lands on the barfed-on piece. Golf ball uses the process of elimination to find out that it's Ice cube. Firey spins the wheel, and the barf lands on his face. The wheel lands on Leafy. Snowball spins the wheel, and it lands on Golf ball. Snowball says that if the wheel doesn't land on him, they're all dead. The wheel lands on Rocky. Firey laughs at Coiny for not being in the challenge, and Coiny slaps him. Announcer says that all the contestants have to do is run to a tree and back. He also says that nobody will be sent to the TLC this episode, but two people will be eliminated next episode. He then says that the winning team gets a prize. Also, the 5th person running does not carry anybody.

### Challenge

The challenge starts. Eraser carries Pen. Firey carries Ice cube, but she is melting. Pen then carries Pencil. Leafy sits on Ice cube because she has no arms. When Ice cube passes by the tree, Leafy flies off. Ice cube goes back and gets her, and Match and Pencil pass by the tree. Leafy then has to carry Golf ball, and Match carries Bubble, only too hard, and pops her. The Bubble Recovery center appears to be very far away. Bubble gets recovered and runs to Match. Rocky rides on Golf ball. However, he barfs on her and she runs into the tree. Match carries Bubble again, but lighter. When Rocky is supposed to run, he doesn't move. Bubble then starts running, but Rocky still won't move. Golf ball kicks Rocky into the leaves of the tree, and pops Bubble. Rocky falls out of the tree and walks back - slowly. Golf ball kicks Rocky again and Leafy catches him, leading to the Squashy grapes' win, again. Their prize is getting an elimination contestant on their team. They then show the rejoining auditions.

### Stinger

The Ice cube Recovery center still sitting on a tree from the Blocky's funny doings international, with Ice cube falling out of it, and down the cliff and dying. This happens for a minute and 58 seconds.

## Trivia

* This is the last episode to use the old arm and leg assets.
* This is the last time Ice cube has a new line, as she uses recycled voice clips in later episodes.
