**SOS (Save Our Show)** is the 30th episode of Battle For Battle For BFB and the 30th episode overall. It was released on June 2, 2023.

## Plot

### Cold open

Nearing BFBFB's end, Leafy starts to become suspicious of the Announcer's sudden and mysterious return, so she tries to hide and figure out what's going on. Her hiding spot is poorly disguised, however, as Spongy and Balloony immediately spot her. Blocky argues that the Announcer is doing no harm and then suddenly shifts the topic to another of his pranks with Woody. However, Woody runs away, uninterested in doing pranks anymore, which leaves Blocky confused. Later, Blocky tries to come up with a new nickname for Leafy, failing to do so. The Announcer suddenly arrives, and Cake at Stake begins.

### Cake at Stake

Before [ake at Stake, Announcer shows off a revamped bus, which is now made from gold, which he claims to be worth 3 million dollars. Then, he reveals the prize for getting the least votes, which is a silver medal. Before eliminating, Taco is given a bronze medal for winning the last challenge and complains that the silver medal is a downgrade from the previous episode's gold medal, making Taco boasts to Profily about the budget she had received for her business. The Announcer then reveals the votes on a large, overpriced cinema screen, which reveals that Ruby is eliminated. The Announcer then starts talking about how Ruby was his favorite character. Loser then says that getting 3rd is something she should be proud of.

Ruby receives a copper medal for getting third place in the season. Firey asks where the Announcer got all the medals, and in response, he is given a platinum medal. The Announcer gives himself a diamond medal for being "such a gracious host" when Flower tells him to stop giving out medals. The Announcer gives Flower a wooden medal in response.

### Before the challenge

After the elimination, the Announcer cancels BFB. Taco then questions if the Announcer is joking and why. The Announcer responds with budget cuts. When Announcer said the reason why was BFB canceled, it shocked the contestants. Taco checks the budget and finds out that they only have $300 left. Profily then proposes the idea of raising more money to continue the show, beginning the challenge.

### Challenge

Profily first asks Four for help, but Four refuses and explains how there's no point in saving the show since X is gone. Purple Face uses the golden bus (which was very slow) to bring the contestants to an abandoned TV studio, at which he explains his idea to put on various TV shows of his own to raise more money.

The show starts with a talk show called the Purple Face Variety Hour, with Purple Face, Taco, and Profily. Purple Face soon asks Profily for his entire life story. However, Blocky's Funny Doings International appears, with Blocky explaining a prank involving Four falling as soon as it starts. He tells Woody to start pushing Firey into Gelatin, but he runs away screaming. It cuts again to Leafy looking in the bush at the Announcer, who seems to be looking for something. It goes again to Profily talking, and then Blocky goes off-screen to Woody, telling him it's okay not to like pranks and that he only gave him the show since he believed in Woody (and getting banned from purely making it by himself).

It cuts back to Leafy looking at the Announcer and sees he was looking for the BFDI and BFB. Leafy catches him, and the Announcer says how X took his BFDI and that he is taking it back. Leafy tells him how she isn't going to let that happen, and the Announcer tries to use the little-laser thingy from the last episode, but Leafy smashes it to the ground. Profily is now talking to Purple Face about what he liked most about BFDI. Purple Face asks Taco how she likes his mustache, but Taco exclaims how he doesn't have one. Purple Face throws a quick fit about how he always thought he had one, but then it cuts again to a new segment, Purple Face's Torture Time with Taco. She is trapped in a cage with a bug. She says she is getting over her fear of bugs, but when Purple Face releases 500 bugs, Taco panics; however, Woody comes and tells her to breathe in and out. Taco soon calms down, and because of this, Blocky quickly comes up with a new show idea: Woody's Fear Destroyer International.

Meanwhile, possibly at the abandoned studio, Leafy is questioning the Announcer about BFB's budget, but he refuses to give her any answers. Leafy ends up threatening the Announcer with a bowling ball to force him to say what she wants to know. Ruby gets a donation update which Purple Face was initially impressed with, until it was revealed to be just twelve dollars, frustrating him instead. Ruby begins to believe that Purple Face doesn't know how to run a show until she realizes that she doesn't know either. Profily then starts his TV show, in which he recites his name a few times, in a last-ditch effort to earn profits for the show. The show is somehow very successful, but Taco believes she can do better, so she pushes him off the stage and attempts the same thing, only to be booed off the stage, beaten up, and have bugs fall on her.

Ruby gives Purple Face another donation update of merely four dollars, causing Purple Face to become concerned about the show. He claims that the budget is left with only 54 dollars, a huge difference from the initial $300, and apologizes to Lollipop, Woody, and Teardrop in sheer dismay. Bubble considered splitting the show up into two; then the screen moves to the Hotel with Clock, Winner, and Ice Cube in front of the camera, which then Bubble realizes that BFB and TPOT already split.

Gelatin then tries to start his show with him trying to tell the viewers why he should win the prize of every season, which Profily approved, but then Purple Face claims that he somehow received a negative donation because of Gelatin's show. Nearing bankruptcy, Leafy argues with the Announcer regarding the prize after returning for nine years. The Announcer recalls the final 15 but told the camera to pan to the left, which Leafy didn't believe. She then mentioned that everyone had heard the Announcer came back a few months ago, leaving the Announcer to explain what happened finally.

He said that despite losing a lot of money producing *Battle For Battle For BFB*, he regained most of the money by Flower buying Dream Island. He then reveals he wanted *Battle for Battle for BFB* to continue, repaired his spaceship, and returned to Earth (which Leafy then finds out he was on Earth all along). He says that since he wanted *Battle for Battle for BFB* to continue, he told TV to calculate the results for the next season and made a list of *Battle for Dream Island Again* game rules (which was thrown at Book during the first episode). He also made a wheel of challenges, which he comments 'to make sure things didn't go off course too much without me.' He then realized that things soon descend into chaos, so he had to spend to make the Puffball speaker box. He soon had a minimal budget, and since everyone kept dying, he had to spend the last of his savings on an HPRC (Hand-Powered Recovery Center). He said he kept having to hide from the contestants, and it is shown that at the end of BFDIA 5e, Pencil finds the Announcer, but he convinces her that he is a tree using a Gelatin replica. He says all good things come to an end and says that when *Battle for Dream Island Again* ended production, he returned home. But then, he was caught off-guard when the creators made another season of BFDI. He exclaims how those two (X and Four) took his show and offered his most beloved treasure, a BFDI. He says how they stole his life's work and his BFDI, so he waited until the perfect moment to come back. Luckily, the process was sped up by Two coming and the show splitting, and then he started planning his return. He stated how the final four seemed like the perfect time. And says of how he took back his show and *BFB*, but it is canceled (because of money problems). And he says since it is canceled, no one can win the BFDI. Leafy is upset and tells the Announcer to give it back since they earned it. However, this is the time the budget finally runs out.

As the show's budget runs out, the quality begins to deteriorate. When the show's quality downgrades to a style that appeared to be similar to creation within Microsoft Paint, Purple Face urgently asks the contestants for season ideas. Profily considers an alternate timeline. Two never appeared, and the show never split (which does not go any better than they are now, as 40 contestants would still quit because everyone realized X allowed Spongy and Loser to rejoin unfairly). Then, the show's budget decreases further, to the point that it appears to be a paper stop-motion animation. As the contestants prepare for the show’s end, Spongy asks for any money to continue. Flower tries to use the Box of Paper Slips, but she cannot since the budget is too low. Profily suddenly remembers that Announcer gave Taco 50,000 dollars, but Taco refuses to give up her money, as it's meant for her alliance. The other contestants then try to plead and convince Taco to use her money as the show's budget drops so low that it simply becomes a basic storyboard, making Purple Face exclaim how he looks “even worse.” He is the one who convinces Taco to give up her 50,000 dollars to save the show finally. The Announcer decides not to cancel BFB since the budget has returned.

### Stinger

At the end of the episode, when Profily and Taco are discussing when X is coming back, one of the X-shaped cacti senses Taco's words, which causes a crack in the middle of the Desert, between Profily and Taco. When the earthquake stops, Taco wonders what was that, and the episode ends, thus continuing to the season finale.
