## Plot

### Cold open

The episode begins with Star introducing himself, and also introduces the other characters in unison, which were the contestants. The intro plays next.

### Challenge

There were two challenges this episode. The first challenge was to stay on a cliff, and whoever was the last one standing would win. Crayon says it sounds very exciting. Rubber Ball says the challenge is easy, but Torchy throws her off, making Rubber Ball the first contestant to fall off. Paper Towel tries to push Potato off as well, but Rubber Ball collides into both of them, making all three of them fall off the cliff. Ice Cream tells Bowling Ball he's so fat, when he jumps in the sky, he gets stuck. Bowling Ball angrily states that he's not fat, for the first time. Filmy and Planty come together and form an alliance. Carrot asks to join them, and Planty lets her. Torchy tries to push off Bowling Ball next. Torchy says Bowling Ball's too fat for him. Bowling Ball yells at Torchy saying he's not fat again and kicks him away. Torchy lands on Basket, setting him on fire. Basket screams and runs off the cliff because there was water below it. Ice Cream pushes Filmy off the cliff after knocking his alliance down. A brick character is seen below the cliff, and they were angry because the contestants above woke him up from his nap. He takes Bomby (from Battle for Dream Island) and throws him up on the cliff causing an explosion. Pumpkin, Bowling Ball, and Ice Cream fly away from the cliff, leaving Crayon and Planty left. Star announces that they were both the team captains. Planty thought this was the only contest, but Star decides to move on to the team picking.

### Team picking

Star randomly assorts the contestants into two teams of six. Planty's team had Filmy, Carrot, Pumpkin, Paper Towel, and Ice Cream. Crayon's team had Torchy, Basket, Rubber Ball, Bowling Ball, and Potato. Then, the teams had to come up with a team name. Crayon asks what he should name his team, then Potato enthusiastically yells "BALONEY JUICE!" Torchy strongly disagrees. Crayon's team is Baloney Juice. Carrot says that's a pretty bad name, then Ice Cream states that her team should be called the "Yelling Dogs," and Pumpkin agrees. Planty's team is The Yelling Dogs.

### Second challenge

The second challenge is to play a game of dodgeball, and whichever team loses their members after they get hit by a dodgeball, were going to lose. Torchy decides to throw Rubber Ball thinking she was a dodgeball. Filmy jumps up to dodge her, but hits Basket behind him. Star notices that he and Paper Towel switched teams, but he thinks it's fine. Carrot hits Potato, and Torchy tries to avenge Potato by throwing a dodgeball towards Carrot. She catches it however, making Torchy lose. Paper Towel states that it's a good thing Torchy was out since his skill was making the team lose, making him angry. Planty throws a dodgeball towards Bowling Ball. He catches it in his mouth and spits it out, hitting the rest of the Yelling Dogs.

### Results

Since everyone on The Yelling Dogs were out, the team loses, which means they are up for elimination, and in the next episode, one contestant will leave and no longer compete.

### Stinger

Torchy tells Bowling Ball he did a good job, as well as calling him a "fatty." Bowling Ball gets angry once again, ending the episode.
