## Plot

### Cold open

Globe is first seen playing fetch with Dog Tag. Sword comes to ask what Globe is doing, to which Globe replies he is playing fetch. Sword finds this strange, as he thought Globe normally kept things safe. Sword picks up Dog Tag, which Globe doesn't like. He explains he'd likely fall off a cliff if Dog Tag kept on running, but Globe notifies Sword that there are no cliffs around. Sword then finds another reason why it would be dangerous from X-Acto Blade's sharp blade. He states something might kill Dog Tag. To explain this further, he grabs X-Acto Blade and holds him close to Dog Tag. Globe takes Dog Tag and leaves to do something else. However, Sword finds Globe to be the weirdo.

Meanwhile, Gem Token is being hoarded by various people. Everyone wants to be noticed by Gem Token, but Potion does not know why. Picture of Picture of The Simpsons then slaps Potion, because of Potion not knowing who Gem Token is. Picture of Picture of The Simpsons says that Gem Token is very cool, but Potion does not care and doesn't understand why. Potion walks away, stating that she'll find out sooner or later. However, Sword picks up Potion, and has questions for her. He asks why everyone is crowded around Gem Token, which Potion is also questioning. Potion tells Sword to ask Gem Token instead to receive a more promising answer, which Sword repeats. Sword throws Potion away (who breaks) and goes to the crowd. He shouts Gem Token name, and Gem Token answers. He asks his question, but Gem Token actually doesn't know. After calling for help as he is dragged away, Sword simply walks away. Grape Juice, annoyed by the crowd's noise, kicks Gem Token away. Everyone looks angrily at Grape Juice, and so, Bell Pepper tells everyone to attack on Grape Juice. Sword, seeing the massive hoard charging towards Grape Juice, also runs away.

Globe tells Dog Tag to be more responsible and attentive, but Dog Tag ignores him as he sees Gem Token rolling like a ball, escaping three of his fans. Dog Tag charges to dash upon Gem Token and bites him. Outlet Cover, with the motif to save Gem Token, throws X-Acto Blade towards Dog Tag and Gem Token. X-Acto Blade then lands next to Sword, who kicks X-Acto Blade deeper into the ground. Her spiky blade touches a buried Gaming Device, who then activates, thus playing the intro.

### Gaming Device's Awakening

After the intro, Mr. Snow groans as he wakes up, questioning what happened. Chew Toy is sad about some objects' death, thinking they will be gone forever. Gaming Device, now above the dirt he was covered in, notices this and revives them. After the objects revived, Potion questions if her invention worked. Mr. Snow replies that it hasn't but is befuddled about Potion's 'invention'. Potion simply says "oh nothing." and walks away.

X-Acto Blade tells Sword how wrong his action was, but notices that Sword isn't listening. Sword than shushes X-Acto Blade to redirect his attention to Gem Token and Gaming Device.

Gem Token appears next to Gaming Device, asking how he revived the contestants with his buttons and questions if he can have the same ability. Grape Juice tells him he doesn't have any buttons. Chew Toy is concerned if Gaming Device is alive, to which he responds he is. Dog Tag then licks him and Gaming Device advises them to stop. Cinderblock is assured that Gaming Device wants him and the other characters to join a cliché object show. Grape Juice wants peace, and so Grape Juice leaves. Gaming Device throws a rock at Grape Juice to prevent Grape Juice from leaving. This shocks everyone. Outlet Cover says if Gaming Device is not a host of an object show, he'd be a murderer. Gem Token is frightened. Sword claims that most objects already are murderers as they have killed others before. Picture of Picture of The Simpsons then states that Sword killed potion. This leads to an argument with a couple of others.

As Gaming Device starts talking again, everyone stops and listens. Gaming Device says that everyone participates, everyone would be spared. Gem Token rather stays away from people like Gaming Device, but Gaming Device stops Gem Token by tripping him. Gaming Device then revives Grape Juice. Hamster Ball then says how he and the others are joining without free will and congratulates it. Clay Pot than stands on top of a rock, about to give a speech. Half way through, Globe throws a ball at her by accident. He explained how it was an accident, to which Picture of Picture of The Simpsons asks why he did it in the first place. Globe says that Dog Tag wanted it.

### Making Teams

Picture of Picture of The Simpsons asks Gaming Device to finally begin the first challenge. As Gaming Device was about to announce the the challenge, Gem Token reminds Gaming Device that the creation of the teams should come first. And so, Gaming Device calculates the amount of people, counting 17 people. Thus, he thinks that there should be 3 teams of 5.66 members. Sword tells him that Clay Pot died. Gaming Device is becoming annoyed by the amount of deaths, yet still revives Clay Pot. Shortly after, Clay Pot dies again as she trips. Even more angered, Gaming Device revives Clay Pot yet again and asks her if she is done. Clay Pot says she did not mean to do that. Gaming Device finally gets to the creation of the teams, which is 3 teams of 6 members. Picture of Picture of The Simpsons states that they can now finally name the teams, Gaming Device, however, interrupts his sentence by saying it himself and calling it a good idea.

#### the.

Indian Drum asks for any name ideas. Grape Juice states that she doesn't care, which Indian Drum finds very rude. Clay Pot suggests their name to be "Team Good". Grape Juice laughs and said that they would rather be "Team Bad" with that name. Grape Juice suggests that they should ask Dog Tag, but Globe informs that Dog Tag cannot talk. Chew Toy thinks that she has the perfect name and is headed to Gaming Device. Indian Drum, after asking where she was going to, says that they don't even have a team name yet.

Chew Toy appears next to Gaming Device and tells him that the team name is "The-". However, she was interrupted, hence the name being "the.".

#### NASTY!

As the yet to be named team members are arguing, likely about the name, Gaming Device walks over to the unnamed group to ask if they already have a decided name. Potion wants to present said name, but trips over a ball and looses her cork, unleashing the nauseous smell of what's inside Potion. Everyone finds the smell disgusting (except Hamster Ball), making the team name "NASTY!". Cherry Cola sarcastically thanks everyone for it, but Hamster Ball does not get it and tells him no problem. Potion puts said cork back in.

#### um

Bell Pepper tells the other members that they should have a name. Outlet Cover says it's a good idea, and Sword says they don't have any other choice. He gets interrupted by Mr. Snow, who asks if anyone has a half decent team name idea. Scroll says "yes actually!". Although having something else in her mind, the team name is named "Yes Actually". Mr. Snow says it isn't what he thought, but says that it could work. Sword disagrees and demands a change to his name. Gaming Device allows it and asks what it should be renamed to. Sword says "um", which makes the team name "um". Mr. Snow sarcastically honors it.

### After Naming

Gaming Device says that the contestants can finally start the first challenge. But meanwhile, Dog Tag walks away. Cherry Cola says that they could not start. In response, Gaming Device turns(?) him into stone, which Gem Token becomes bewildered by. As Gaming Device is announcing the first challenge, Globe asks where Dog Tag has gone off too.

Meanwhile, Dog Tag discovers a button. They press it, but nothing happens. As they walk away, the button emits a white flash, which ends the episode.
