## Plot

### Cold open

The episode begins with Clock freaking out, as he couldn't believe his team lost for a second time.

Elsewhere, Crayon thinks no one is going to vote for her, but Television tells her that no one likes her, and then comments he voted for her. Enraged, Crayon orders Melony to get the executioner, which is an anvil, to kill him.

Meanwhile, Top Hat and Locky start arguing about the cause of their loss from last episode. Locky tells him that his art sucked, while he replies that she was the one who messed it up. Aggravated, Locky leaves, saying that he isn't invited to her birthday party, which she comments that she's having chocolate cake there, which shocks him.

Popcorn and Snow Globe are then seen in a conversation. Snow Globe said he voted for Crayon, saying she has to go. He then asks Popcorn what she thinks of the newbies. She responds by saying Television is okay, but she's worried about Locky. Then then hope that either of the will make it far.

Globe then joins their conversation. Snow Globe notices that he looks down and asks him why. He responds by saying Candy was being mean to him lately. After being asked how so, the scene switches to a montage of Candy throwing insults toward Globe.

After the montage, Popcorn asks why Candy is being rude to Globe. He doesn't know, but notes that she hasn't been the same since he didn't notice the change in her stripes back in the first episode. Popcorn tells him that Candy is just being grouchy, which offends her, causing her to kick her away. Candy tells Globe that Popcorn insulted her, prompting Globe to tell her that she insults him all the time. She the hits him back by saying it was because he couldn't tell the difference in her stripe color. Snow Globe then tells her that nobody noticed her color change (not even Kite, whom Candy thought noticed). Snow Globe then asks who she voted for, and she reveals that she too voted for Crayon.

Dusty then comes up to Casey, who is watching clouds. He notices that multiple clouds look like him, causing him to point them out continuously. Casey then realizes that it is time for the Elimination. As she points this out, Gamey appears and finishes her sentence.

### Elimination

Gamey remarks to Clock's team at the Elimination Area that the team must suck. The legless Cherry responds to the remark by telling him that he didn't have to rub it in. Gamey asks the contestants if they have all voted, and Melony reveals she had also voted for Crayon, reasoning that she was bossy to her and she had to pay. Gamey then announces the people safe this elimination. Locky and Television are automatically safe because they were immune. In one swoop, he says that Globe, Candy, Clock, Popcorn, Dusty, Casey, Snow Globe, Picture, Melony, Cherry, and TIssue are all safe. Locky asks about the prizes for this elimination, and Gamey tells her the prizes are lemons. He tosses one towards an intrigued Locky, who eats it, before stating the lemons are 13 years old and super sour. Candy reacts to this reveal in disgust before having a lemon thrown into her mouth. It is down to the bottom two with Top Hat and Crayon. The latter asks why people are voting for her, and Globe responds by standing by Melony's statement on her being bossy. Gamey announces the last person safe, which is Crayon. Snow Globe, confused, why the majority voted for Top Hat, and Casey answers that he ruined the challenge for the team. Top Hat objects this, but Gamey ends up flinging him into the Contestant Cannon, which sends him to Prison Planet.

Up on Prison Planet, Lighter has seemingly gone crazy as he is sitting around small dirt statues of Gamey, Clock, Tissue, and Melony with a manic look on his face. Top Hat lands on the Gamey statue, smashing it.

### After the elimination

Melony is upset that Crayon didn't get eliminated, and tells her to consider herself lucky. Crayon tells her voters (Globe, Television, Popcorn, Locky, Melony, Snow Globe, and Candy) that she will make them pay.

With everyone ready for the next challenge, Gamey snaps his fingers to teleport him and the remaining contestants into the Creepy Forest. There, he shows them a really big tree known as the Great Tree. Ping Pong Ball notices the tree is very tall, and Gamey notes that the tree itself is 500 ft tall. Soccer Ball asks about what the Great Tree had to do with the challenge, and he responds that the contestants will be climbing to the top.

Boombox asks if there is anything else for the challenge. Gamey tells everyone about the flag at the top of the tree and the first team to reach said flag will win and the winning team's member who reaches the flag will win immunity. On the note of teams though, he says that he thought up names for the two teams. He names Boombox's team "Team Tune" and Clock's team "Team Time." After naming the teams, Gamey asks everyone if they're ready. Casey says she isn't, but she is ignored and the challenge starts anyway.

## Trivia

* This is the first episode where Team Time won the challenge.
* This episode reveals that Top Hat likes chocolate, or at the very least chocolate cake.
* This episode also reveals that Candy has been acting mean since no one noticed the change in her stripes back in "The End of the Beginning," most notably Globe.
* The title is a reference to the term "branching out," meaning "doing other areas."
* Toaster, Tiki, and Lighter don't have speaking roles in this episode. The armless Cherry also didn't have a speaking role, but the legless one did.
* This is the first time Top Hat ever said the word "bloody."
	+ It is a swear innuendo because "bloody" is a mild British swear word, so American viewers won't catch it at first.
