After using The Collector to cause a cave-in, Star Light and Wiatt face Litho's retribution.

## Summary

   Star Light is in shock that Wiatt's plan worked, asserting that though he didn't doubt him, he didn't trust The Collector as he was afraid of spiders. As Oddity and The Collector play, Wiatt explains that it was able to cause a cave-in large enough to keep Sara from leaving and that Alison's worry of how dangerous the task would be was for nothing. Star Light readies to leave and find Sara, though when Wiatt asks about The Collector, Star Light tells him that they've been down in the caves since before the facility was built and they have nowhere to go. Still, Wiatt insists they save them, only for Star Light to point out that the Collector is a collection of soul fragments trapped together and any humanity within may be lost. Wiatt theorizes that they may be clinging onto one thing, a person Litho finds important enough to trap inside of the machine. Star Light asks how he could've come up with such an idea, and Wiatt informs him of the training tapes he has found that show that Litho has been orchestrating everything for a long time, and that the founders were a part of his plan. Star Light is frustrated at the fact that him and his friends were doomed from the start by a demon. Wiatt corrects him again that, given what he learned from the tapes on soul energy and from his conversation with Alison, Litho is not a real demon.

   Star Light doesn't understand, asking what Litho could be if not some supernatural entity. Wiatt answers that he's sure that Litho is something far worse. He turns his attention back to The Collector as he argues that even if The Collector isn't a part of Litho's plan or have no body to return to, the souls inside should be released. Star Light agrees and asks The Collector how they'll manage to do so. The Collector answers that they are locked inside, and that they "must simply open the door." Knowing that Soul energy is what twimblos are designed to deal with, Star Light sends Oddity in. With Oddity inside, a low collection of whispers and an inky mass of bodies erupts outward into screeches before they are expunged from The Collector, now light bubbles floating around the room.

   Wiatt, Star Light, and Oddity stare in awe at the display as The Collector's body shuts down. A ghostly figure emerges from it, saying that nobody's seen him for centuries and asking Star Light what year it is. Sara suddenly appears, speaking in a much deeper voice as she orders them not to touch the person who's appeared. Wiatt threatens to take Sara down with Alison's help, though Sara scoffs that she ran into Alison moments ago and trapped him inside of "an old toy of his." The mysterious spirit approaches Sara, asking "Ed" what had happened to them. Summoning an array of blue strings, Sara announces that Wiatt's game over and she will resume everything as planned, this time with no interruptions. Wiatt calls out to her as static overtakes the footage.

    A commercial for the grand re-opening of the Dreamworld Entertainment facility begins to play. It commends its fans' years-long archival efforts and says reward for such hard work would be a full restoration initiative. Short interviews from various excited customers play, though the final one remarks in confusion that facility was never around in the early 2000's and that they'd visited it just months before at its initial opening. The interviewee brings up the many disappearances before being cut off. Star Light is asked if the news and promises of fun are wonderful, to which Starlight nervously agrees. As the commercial ends, the music slows and color fades before Sara's face in the illustration becomes dark and twisted, accompanied by a loud ringing noise.

    Wiatt wakes up in a daze to find Litho standing over him. Wiatt becomes angry but is quickly shushed, being asked to listen. Wiatt hears that there's people at the facility and interrogates him, refusing to acknowledge him as "Sara" any more. Wiatt asks if he tampered with time travel again only for Litho to mock him and explain that using his puppet strings, he repaired the facility and reopened it. Wiatt has been unconscious for the week it took to do so. Litho reveals that he erased the animatronics' memories to keep them from revolting, deciding not to destroy them after Winnie showed him what he did while outside of the facility. Wiatt threatens Litho to get to the point, so Litho explains that Winnie left the facility to interfere with the content creator Wiatt was sending footage to, building a website with them that clears the name of the company. He offers to let Wiatt look at the page, and Wiatt does so, becoming shocked that anyone would believe the blatant lie. Litho claims that everyone already has, as the website tricked their jumbled memories into believing what it says. He proudly states that he was able to keep everything confidential until Oliver collapsed the facility, promising to kill him when he has the chance. Wiatt, furious, mutters an insult under his breath. Litho tries to finish his insult for him before Wiatt finally lashes out, only for Litho to humor him and decide to not only let him go but let him keep his job. Wiatt is confused at the mercy, asking Litho what he'll do if Wiatt comes back and ruins his plans. Litho is confident that he has already won, knowing that when enough guests show up, his Twimblos will collect enough Soul energy to open his gateway and get him what he has wanted for centuries. Wiatt gets in Litho's face, asking him what he could possibly want that killing innocent people would get him. He refuses to answer and instead dismisses him. Wiatt collects his camera and storms out of the facility.

    Wiatt sets his camera up in Celio Klein's house while Damien covers Oliver in a blanket. When Wiatt asks about his condition, Damien replies that he has been unconscious ever since the group's confrontation with Litho and is having nightmares but won't wake up. Wiatt apologizes for not being able to save Oliver, but Damien tells him that Litho outclassed them from the start before he asks if Wiatt was able to see any of his friends before he left. Wiatt saw the animatronics performing to celebrate the re-opening though he knew Star Light would not recognize him. He asks Damien if, with his ability to see ghosts and with his knowledge of the Soul, he knows any way to restore their memories. Damien guesses that with specific triggers their memories could be jogged, but he would need their human names to track down any information that could be used to do so. Wiatt has more than enough recordings to retrieve such information; all they need to do is scrub the footage. Damien tells him that they've got a new case.

    Back in the Dreamworld lobby, Pen asks his co-workers Audrey and Hayden if they're going to talk about the strange things they saw in the facility after its collapse, like "the creepy little girl and her band of mystery robots." Hayden comments that he isn't paid enough to care, remarking that while the moon robot was fine, the moth and goats were creepy. Audrey says that it is best not to question it, hoping for no more trouble though she wonders where Wiatt went. Lolli is excited about the number of people attending the grand opening while Pop excited at the people to prank. Lolli scolds her brother as they had promised staff to be on their best behavior, but Pop replies that Cheer and The Triplets had made him promise to be on his worst. Lolli calls the group troublemakers only for Rex to appear, alarmed at the mention of any kind of trouble. Pop calms him down as Glory shows up behind them, mentioning that she's worried about Star Light and his absence. Lolli asks if he could be with Ribbon Dancer, but Ribbon Dancer joins in to say that he is probably with Winnie, to Glory's confusion. Ribbon Dancer describes the animatronic before remarking that they were all talking to him before they came out, though he doesn't remember anything before that.

    Star Light wakes up to find himself sitting on the floor of a dark room and calls out for Wiatt or Oddity. Winnie appears and greets him, saying that his mind was a tricky one and he wants to make sure everything is in order. Star Light asks where Wiatt is only for an annoyed Winnie to tell him that he isn't supposed to remember his name and that nobody should remember anything about their former lives. Star Light reacts with shock, so Winnie explains that because Litho wants the facility running smoothly and because the animatronics can only talk if they're possessed, turning everyone into blank slates consisting only of the personalities of the original characters was the only way to keep things steady. Robotic arms come down and grab Star Light as he pleads for Winnie to stop, but Winnie teases him about going down with his life's work. Star Light replies that he has already given up his life for the facility, and now that he's gotten it back, he begs Winnie not to take it away again. After a back and forth, Star Light tells Winnie that no matter what, this won't change anything and Litho will eventually kill him anyways. After relentless pleading for his life and expressing his love for Wiatt, the machine suddenly stops. He asks Winnie if he remembers what love feels like, if he remembers anything about his past life, and he pleads that if Winnie has a shred of humanity left in him, he'll let him go. Winnie begrudgingly releases Star Light and tells him not to make him regret the decision, to which Star Light promises not to say a word to the others. Star Light goes out to greets his friends and prepare for the show.

    On a hill outside of the facility, a little girl and Night Light observe Dreamworld Entertainment from a distance. The girl says that Night Light told her they would need more time to fix everything, but the facility is already open again. She decides that it is time to go home before her mom worries and that Lorenzo and Millie can only stall for so long. She asks Night Light if they are really prepared to go back into the facility, even if it's necessary to put Night Light's soul to rest. As Night Light tries to speak with her through writing, she asks them not to use it around her because she won't hurt them. She says she's only eight but knows a lot for her age. Night Light thanks the girl, calling her Hazel. Hazel races Night Light home to show her mom a "spooky violin" she found in an alleyway.

## Trivia

* Night Light reveals that they can speak, but only feel comfortable doing so around Hazel.
* The commercial for Dreamworld's re-opening features the line, "Smile for the picture because each picture lasts forever." This is a nod to the Welcome to Dreamworld song "Out of Sight," which has similar lyrics.
* Binary code that appears after the episode credits can be decoded to read "Secrets hidden in plain sight / Clear as day, clear as night / You know my story, but not my name / Would you still see me the same? / You said you would, but you are blind / I don't deserve a friend so kind / This is our fate, we've made our bed / After all these years, I wish we were dead".
