"**RFTK Heat Resistance**" (full episode name "**Really Funny Thermal Kinetics Heat Resistance**") is the fourth episode of Unconventionally Centered. It was released on April 30, 2022.

## Coverage

### Cold open

Beach Ball is seen going down an elevator, before Discord Message squeezes herself through the elevator doors last second to propose an alliance to Beach Ball. Much to her surprise, Beach Ball rejects the offer and leaves the elevator. This leaves Discord Message angered, and plans on asking Feathry instead.

### Elimination

Feathry arrives to the elimination, and discovers that the seats where named. Much to her confusion, she sits down onto her assigned seat anyway, which was right next to Discord Message. Discord Message greets her.

Beach Ball arrives to discover that their seat was taken by Science Book, and calls her out for it since they sat on the specific seat last elimination. Science Book rectifies Beach Ball by pointing to their assigned seat, but they ignore her and sit on Science Book's lap instead.

After everyone arrives, PC shows the total amount of votes, with turn out to be 1,058, with an average of 352.6... Those safe are awarded a strawberry donut.

Every member of the former Team Pearl gets a donut for winning the challenge. Feathry begins to worry, and Discord Message tries to get her attention, stressing her out even more and causing her to quickly lash out at her, albeit immediately apologising afterwards.

Both Discord Message and Feathry get declared safe, and Feathry sighs in relief. Beach Ball gets furious upon getting out, and exclaims the three parting words "I'll be back". Toasty corrects Beach Ball, saying that they actually said four words since 'I'll' is a contraction, but Beach Ball simply doesn't care and gets eliminated.

After Beach Ball disappears, Discord Message proposes an alliance to Feathry, which she accepts. Windowy overhears their conversation and talks to Science Book about her. She's fine with her leaving the team, but she stays loyal to :cat2:.

### Contest

The challenge is to stay inside of a conference room while the temperature slowly rises high enough to melt steel. The last contestant to leave the room, whether spiritually or physically, wins immunity.

The current temperature is 20°C. Science Book worries about dying from the intense heat, but Feathry stays optimistic about winning without a regard for safety. Once the temperature rises, Science Book gets a cup of water and notes how it got hotter, with Discord Message telling her to get away when she was unknowingly in front of her.

While the temperature reaches 40°C, Toasty is seen writing an analysis on how the audience handles the voting. Windowy asks him about it, but after he explains what he was writing, Windowy gets weirded out by him. Later, Discord Message asks Feathry what they should name their team, much to her angriness. Feathry decides on the Lightweight Platformers, since she is lightweight and Discord Message is part of a platform. Once their team logo appears, Toasty wants a team name too, and decides on team Truth. Once its logo appears, Toasty takes the 'r' out of it, rejoicing as he'll be able to study what these logos are actually made of.

At 100°C, Science Book leaves due to the heat being unbearable to her. Later, Feathry starts to burn, and Discord Message short circuits and dies due to the heat. At 160°C, Feathry catches on fire and uses the water from the water dispenser to extinguish the fire. At 200°C, Toasty shatters Windowy with the water bottle from the water dispenser. Now, Toasty and Feathry are the only contestants remaining.

Later, at 600°C, Toasty and Feathry have already burned to death by the heat, and Science Book tells PC to stop the challenge. Though, PC tells her that that'll be difficult, since the voting system won't work with only two people. Science Book proposes on having Discord Message up for elimination alongside her and Windowy, much to her disappointment.
