## Coverage

### 1A: Snakes and Stones May Break my Bones...

After the first long hiatus since QUEST's beginnings, Cookie and Dicey sit and wait for Emerald's return. When he comes back, they are overjoyed! Although Emerald is eager to begin the challenge, his co-host, Paper Bag, interrupts him and states they must introduce the new cast. Enraged, Emerald agrees and shows the debuts and replacements for the contestants who quit. A prideful Among Us Gamer brags of his acceptance into QUEST.

Meanwhile, HDYMAGOO and Cappy, two of the only QWERB originals, catch up on how they've been (even though Cappy doesn't even remember HDYMAGOO).

Emerald quickly focuses the attention back on himself, stating they must quickly get to the challenge. However, once again, Emerald is interrupted, this time by Lemon Demon, asking which team he's on. Emerald, once again irritated, shows the contestants the organization of the teams. Half-insane, Emerald states one final time that they must get to the challenge. However, for a final time, Brazil Flag interrupts Emerald, stating that the team names are unoriginal and bland. Emerald goes through a tantrum.

Finally, Emerald announces the challenge, which is for the contestants to introduce themselves to the audience and the host.

### 1B: First Voting!

After two weeks, Lie Detector checks in with Emerald, questioning whether or not the challenge will conclude eventually. The host quickly announces the challenge's end and requests the contestants to turn in the introductory essays to the co-host, Paper Bag.

Although HAL-9000 brags of their incredible challenge completion skills, upon further inspection, Paper Bag discovers the paper is completely blank.

In this part, it's also announced that Magnet and Fish Food quit, and Mr. Smol Block (another QWERB original) and Game App take their places.

It's revealed that the Villainous Vipers have the lowest average, and therefore are UFE. However, since Game App only just joined the Villainous Vipers, he's granted immunity.

### 1C: First Elimination!

"**First Elimination**" opens with Hex Head chilling, just lying down, when Dicey barges in, nonchalantly asking him who he voted. Hex Head answers, "YOUR MOMMA!" Dicey, offended, walks away, and instead checks in with the new contestant, Game App. When asked how he is, he responds that he's doing pretty well, except that Crate Guy keeps stalking him. Dicey steps back in disgust, then wishes Game App luck with... That guy.

Meanwhile, Cookie walks by, suspiciously, when Hex Head shouts to him if he'd like to play Basketball. Cookie refuses, saying he must uncover all the secrets. Hex Head understands and goes about his normal business.

Emerald appears out of nothingness and announces that the elimination is about to commence. Game App complains about the small area of the seats, and then realizes that he's seated right next to Crate Guy. After the votes are all counted, it's announced that Crate Guy is leaving the show.
