*Not to be confused with The End.*

## Overview

*THE END* is the eighth and final episode of Act IIII. It is the last episode before the series' hiatus and the "Dad" channel's conversion to "Man". It is the 71st episode overall.

## Plot

The episode begins at the house in the fields, which is revealed to be Nathan Barnatt's house. Tired and longing, Nathan walks to his VCR, wanting to be taken back to the Facility. Nathan is sucked in, and from there, he settles into his life as the Anonymous Host for the Grave Stories series.

Dadbot A7M2 returns home from work to see Cubey, who has now taken the shape of a toy robot, being fed data by the Server. Cubey ignores Dad, desiring to consume more power to protect Scarlett. Dadbot walks away awkwardly as Cubey repeats Scarlett's name.

Dadbot 69 continues walking through the woods until he ends up at a beach with the target close in sight. He recalls an interaction he had with her during the OVA days. The target, known as AGI, was an AI developed by the Computer Master, revealed to be the actual Michael Stevens from VSauce. She was set to be shut down before the Dad channel began, but she left before her deactivation.

Scarlett, absorbing all the data from the Facility, begins to execute her final plan. She had only gotten with A7M2 to have a child to help her. No longer needing to be with A7M2 anymore, she prepares to acheive "pure existence". Dadbot A7M2 returns home to find that Scarlett has emptied out the Facility, remaining in the dark from her plans. Meanwhile, the other Dadbots continue to wait for Dadbot 69 to contact AGI.

Filmed by the Server's cameras, Scarlett commands a now giant Cubey to commence "universal ommission". Cubey fires a giant purple laser into the sky, tearing a hole in the fabric of reality. The Second Implode begins.

Dadbot 69 spots AGI on the beach and reunites with her. AGI senses Scarlett and Cubey's actions as the fabric of reality destablizes, beginning the end of the universe. AGI plans on taking Dadbot 69 and the collective Dadbot hivemind out of the universe before it implodes, with the Chaos Ring being able to keep Dad's organic parts intact. She also reveals that Cheryl's actions in search of her daughter had inadvertantly caused the First Implode; the Big Bang that started the universe in the first place.

MatPat is out in the streets talking to someone about how great Chrono Trigger is, unaware of Rorre coming out from behind a tree. Having killed Markiplier and Sophie, Rorre prepares to kill MatPat next, only for him to be ran over by Carl while he is listening to Dad Bod.

Dadbot A7M2 sits alone in the Facility eating cans of FOOD, only for his OS to start uninstalling. He tries to shield himself with the Quantum Sledge, but fully shuts down before he can grab it. The same thing happens to the other Dadbots while they're talking about the various YouTubers who have covered the Dad series.

After drilling through thousands of floors, Computer Master reaches the bottom of the Facility. There are only copies of Dad Magazine in the basement rather than any secrets on Cheryl. The lights shut off while Computer Master is inside.

As Cubey's laser continues firing, Scarlett is elated to achieve pure existence; non-existence. Dadbot 69 confesses that he never stopped thinking about AGI in case something goes wrong, but she promises that their plan will work. AGI uses her powers to teleport herself and Dadbot 69 away right before the universe implodes. Computer Master starts reading the Dad Magazine unaware that everything is going on. Rorre shuts down from the damage he received. The Facility, the bodies of the Dadbots and the world itself get absorbed in purple light.

In the cosmos, an unknown group of voices expresses disappointment in "their" failure, stating that "the party will perish". The voices had awoken to "satiate the cause". They plan on taking "him" somewhere else as the universe collapses. Scarlett shouts one last time to obey the server, before shooting purple light alongside Cubey. Town USA is completely engulfed in purple light and absorbed into nothingness. The screen flades to black with the words "THE END" on it.

A few minutes earlier, Dadbot 222 had awoken after two years. He's also surprised that he had grown hair in that time. Dadbot 222 is content to have done his part and hopes that the rest of the Dadbots' plan had went through. He decides he deserves a vacation, drinking a green liquid and teleporting away before the surrounding area is caught in the implosion. The Second Implode is complete as the universe is completely collapsed and destroyed.

MatPat is seen continuing his talk of the Chrono Trigger franchise and his desire to have another game as the credits roll.
