The description of the video says:

> "I put the whole video here this time. I lost episode 1 so I couldn't finish putting it on here, but it is coming soon. My sources say that every episode (except 10) are really short. I also know that episode 5 is corrupted in my collection, so it most likely not be here. Sorry this took so long to convert. I was planning it for tomorrow, but I was really busy. Anyway, I'll see you next time. -John"

**- Log -**
Max The Dog is severely glitching out throughout the whole video. Scardy Cat is getting too, but not that much.

The episode begins with the Max the Dog intro, except it's really glitchy. Right before the end of the characters' showcase, we see distorted Scardy Cat. After the intro, the episode name and the number shows up on the screen. Before the intro ends, we are able to see mauled Max The Dog with earlier said Scardy.

We see a bumpy valley right after the intro ends. Max seems to be standing there peacefully. Short after, Scardy comes up to Max asks

- I just lost my cookies

- how do i prevent that

- i can teach you - Max responded, then he and his friend stretched out on the whole screen for a split of a second.

A white background with the text saying "it is just a", cutted out on the right border for a millisecond, although not long after the background changes to black and the text's color is set to green. It now said "so you wanna learn how to arcive". Then it displayed "to arcive, you have to make sure your data is extracted somewhere [possibly "safe", because it's slightly going over the border] else".

Right after, we see Skippy The Spider infront of a seemingly looking VHS tape displaying "John's death", and even wide Scardy, for again, split of a second. Thankfully, Scardy dissapears and the label on the tape is now a akward line. Half-a-second after, a text on the bottom showed up and said "you dont want any bad guys steal data". Scardy appears again, but now he seems to be in a great pain, he's tall too.

A grassy illustration showed up, which had a house in the middle. A label appeared again which this time would be "you dont want power destroying the data", followed by a lightning striking down the house. In the same few frames, weird Max stood next to that building.

Yet another text showed up, "now lets look at some ways we can arcive". Then we see the Studio Tree logo tilted, next to mauled Max, on a black background. "the first way is to copy the vhs somewhere else" the text said and it faded black. We are welcomed to two tapes with a right-headed arrow, indicating duplicating the VHS' content.

Then, a very low quality green text appeared on the next scene, "now to the 2nd way to archive". Suprised, yet distorted and also low quality shot of Max showed up.

"lets show you the second way to archive", "you can archive by keeping the stuff in a safe" [The quality upgraded a bit, second after.]. A badly drawn safe appeared, though various characters and images glitched onto the screen. Few red and inequal dots popped up on black background for a few seconds.

"make sure that you don't give it to anyone you don't trust", the color of the text was this time red. It turned black, with the gray background. Max materialized near the top, and rotated upside down. It soon turned white, then red. Max-blue text emerged with the following text "help me". Scardy was there too, he was very depressed and had red eyes.

"now lets look at some examples", green label said.

Then, we are greeted with a pitch black background that displayed "Face Test october 14, 1977". Soon after, the background turned white. A song "Trough The Tulips" plays, while we are looking at Max's head in different emotions (happy, mad, sad).

Gray, later white colored Max's head popped up on the now yet again black background. "i have been here, i have been here for a long time, you won't know, you won't know the pain, mark, he was watching, he didn't help". Then a quick text said "coming mark".

Similarly to earlier, a coal black background was set, with a snow white label "ste-6-facility training video march 1, 1978".

After that, we are welcome to a pastel green background, which included Max and the Studio Tree logo. Max said "make sure you have a bag put in the following 1. Flashlight 2. Snack 3. Key 4. Dead body [The shot was changed very quickly after the last one.]"

A slender gray upside down face with popped out eyes, including also gray hair appeared on a red background, accompanying the label saying "do you even know the pain i had to suffer mark".

Then, we are back to the green background, but this time instead of the forth entry saying "4. Dead body", now it displayed "4. Trusty Studio Tree Handbook".

Not long after, we find ourselves in a forest when it's night, Scardy is there. A crimson text on the top said "this is mark", "he is gonna start his new job".

We are greeted then to an odd gray background, which has a label "Ste-6 open with key →". Scardy enters the facility, which contained five low quality images of VHS tapes, around him. The tapes slowly dematerialized, allowing the gray Max's head to appear. It soon turned into the normal Max, however he started to glitch out, and even turn into the weird face from earlier for a second. Scardy followed Max's behavior, and also turned his eyes bloody red.

- help i didn't even do anything wrong abby trapped me for no reason

- no reason? NO REASON??? - Max responded aggresively.

- i see you deserve pain

- I don't deserve any of this - Scardy said.

- you want a reason? you didn't help - Scardy was frightened.

- i was t (possibly "there") [The text was cut] dying you deserve pain and suffering. - The odd face appeared again and rushed towards Scardy.

- i see - Scardy with red eyes said.

- i can hear people enjoying themselves yet i am here abby trapped me in hell my old friend help please.

The episode ends with the Studio Tree logo.
