### Release date

November 17, 2017

"**The Beginning of the End**" is the fourth episode of *Season 4* and the 43rd episode overall of *FNAF: The Stories*. It was released on November 17, 2017.

## Plot

Toy Chica explains to the leading animatronics that Nightmare's soul is the reason why they are alive and why they have the urge to kill humans who work night shifts at the pizzeria, and that everyone will be in danger if he is allowed to return. Just as she is about to also reveal that there is a traitor among their group that is helping Nightmare, she realizes that doing so could compromise her position, and decides to withhold the information. The Puppet states that Toy Chica has managed to affirm his own suspicion of an unseen stranger, and Golden Freddy brings up the microchip that was implanted in Springtrap's head, believing it to be relevant somehow to the subject. Freddy suggests that a human was responsible for it, to which the Puppet reminds him that they don't know the animatronics are alive, ruling them out as suspects. Springtrap asks the Puppet if he has an idea of who did it (a contradiction of The Last Suffering - Part 3's implication that Springtrap already knew who it was), and the latter says that it had to be one of the other animatronics, to Springtrap's disbelief. After Toy Chica adds that the "curse"- which disables the animatronics at 6 in the morning and keeps them from being conscious during the day- no longer works on her, Golden Freddy deduces that they need to get to the bottom of what is now clearly an impending threat to them.
