**Etho is Taking Care of Me** is BdoubleO100’s third episode of Double Life. It was uploaded on July 1, 2022.

## Plot

The episode starts with a flashback to session 2, namely BdoubleO100 trading his white horse for Rendog’s black horse named Bee and then realizing it is a very slow horse. In the present, BdoubleO100 declares that he’s going to make a copper swimming pool adjacent to his and ImpulseSV’s mid-century modern house where they can host events. However, BdoubleO100 believes doesn’t have enough copper, so he asks ImpulseSV to mine copper if he comes across any.

ImpulseSV plans to go to the ancient city, since he’d seen a lot of iron there. He and BdoubleO100 swap armor so ImpulseSV can enchant BdoubleO100’s armor. BdoubleO100 declares that he’s going to stop the homewrecking for now. BdoubleO100 and ImpulseSV find PearlescentMoon outside their base and BdoubleO100 comes clean to her that he lied about Smajor1995 saying things about her; PearlescentMoon doesn’t mind, since there’s already a wedge between her and Smajor1995.

BdoubleO100 tells PearlescentMoon that Ethoslab has bad plans for her, but PearlescentMoon doesn’t believe him, and BdoubleO100 realizes he should think of a new lie. ImpulseSV and PearlescentMoon leave together to go to the deep dark while BdoubleO100 stays behind. He realizes that he needs a stonecutter, so he goes around the server to see if anyone else has one.

BdoubleO100 goes to Box tells Rendog and Bigbst4tz2 that he hates the black horse that Rendog traded to him because it’s very slow. He thinks that Rendog gave him a bad deal, but Rendog reminds him he can’t go back on it. BdoubleO100 tries to ride the horse through the barrier, and Rendog asks him what he can do to help because he doesn’t want to leave a customer unhappy. BdoubleO100 asks for one iron ingot for a stonecutter, and Rendog gives him one. BdoubleO100 leaves after telling Rendog and Bigbst4tz2 that he’s going to make a swimming pool and that they are free to stop by anytime.

BdoubleO100 meets ZombieCleo and InTheLittleWoods who pretend to rob him. BdoubleO100 tells ZombieCleo he was going to tell her something that Smajor1995 said about her, but neither ZombieCleo nor InTheLittleWoods buy it. ZombieCleo calls him a liar and InTheLittleWoods throws snowballs at him. BdoubleO100 quickly leaves.

BdoubleO100 meets TangoTek near the Relation Ship. TangoTek also throws snowballs at BdoubleO100 and asks if he has a name tag; BdoubleO100 tells him he doesn’t but reveals that SmallishBeans and EthosLab do have a name tag. TangoTek tells him he’s there to get wool from Ethoslab and SmallishBeans’ sheep farm, but they find that neither of them are home.

TangoTek and BdoubleO100 search Ethoslab and SmallishBeans’ chests outside the Relation Ship and TangoTek takes their name tag. TangoTek asks if BdoubleO100 has an anvil, but BdoubleO100 tells him he’s been going around the server begging for iron. Bdubs asks TangoTek what he needs the name tag for and TangoTek hints that he’s going to use it to get revenge. Ethoslab returns to the Relation Ship BdoubleO100 tells him that TangoTek stole a name tag. TangoTek throws more snowballs at BdoubleO100.

BdoubleO100 reacts to ZombieCleo and InTheLittleWoods’ deaths. He goes to Grian and GoodTimesWithScar’s base, where GoodTimesWithScar invites him into the panda reserve and gives him bamboo to feed the pandas. Grian rides on BdoubleO100’s horse and deems it slow. BdoubleO100 feels like GoodTimesWithScar is somehow tricking him, but Grian tells him that GoodTimesWithScar has no ulterior motives; it’s just pandas. GoodTimesWithScar lets BdoubleO100 feed the pandas and asks him for a donation; BdoubleO100 gives him a bowl of suspicious stew.

GoodTimesWithScar points out that ZombieCleo gave him a whole iron chestplate after her visit; Bdubs pretends to be impressed, claiming that ZombieCleo had said bad things about GoodTimesWithScar. However, GoodTimesWithScar mentions that ZombieCleo told him that BdoubleO100 has been spreading lies. BdoubleO100 then leaves.

BdoubleO100 returns to his and ImpulseSV’s base, crafts two golden carrots, and breeds his slow black horse with ImpulseSV’s fast brown horse; he plans on seeing whether the resulting brown fowl is fast or not. BdoubleO100 makes the swimming pool and finds that he has just enough copper for it. ImpulseSV comes home and admires the progress on the swimming pool; BdoubleO100 explains that he found out that you get a lot more copper when cutting it. ImpulseSV shows BdoubleO100 that he mined five stacks of copper.

ImpulseSV shows BdoubleO100 that he got BdoubleO100’s armor enchanted, though they decide not to switch back their armor. GoodTimesWithScar comes by selling paper. Grian comes by as well and GoodTimesWithScar tells him he sold lots of paper already and only has four left. BdoubleO100 offers 32 copper ore pieces, but GoodTimesWithScar rejects the offer, rather wanting their enchanted iron boots instead. BdoubleO100 notices Grian sneaks into the base while they are talking and Grian steals their gunpowder, after which he and GoodTimesWithScar quickly run away as BdoubleO100 and ImpulseSV shoot after them.

ImpulseSV shows BdoubleO100 that he adjusted the secret passageway behind the painting in their house, and BdoubleO100 saves the fowl that has just grown up from suffocating in the floor of the base. They find that the new horse is both fast and a high jumper. ImpulseSV goes out mining while BdoubleO100 finishes the house; BdoubleO100 deems the house ready for a pool party.

BdoubleO100 rides over to the Ranch where he meets Solidarity. Solidarity admires BdoubleO100’s horse and BdoubleO100 tells Solidarity he has a spare horse he’s willing to sell to Solidarity together with a saddle. BdoubleO100 recalls that Solidarity stills owes him an IOU, which means that Solidarity will now owe him two IOU’s; Solidarity agrees to the deal. BdoubleO100 shows off how high his horse can jump and tells Solidarity that the horse he’s selling him can jump even higher; he then leaves to get the horse.

BdoubleO100 returns to the Ranch with the black horse and explains that it once belonged to Rendog and is named Bee; Solidarity puts it in the animal pen in front of the Ranch. Solidarity goes over to Scott’s Relationship Ranch but invites BdoubleO100 to stay at the Ranch as long as he likes. BdoubleO100 crosses a bridge to the other cliffside and overhears Etho and Cleo mentioning his name.

BdoubleO100 goes to Ethoslab and ZombieCleo, and they tell him about Grian hoarding the sugarcane. BdoubleO100 reveals that Grian stole his gunpowder. SmallishBeans joins the dig party, and they realize they need to have someone distract Grian away from his base. ZombieCleo has an idea and she and Ethoslab leave to go to Smajor1995 while SmallishBeans stays behind to babysit BdoubleO100.

BdoubleO100 practices water bucket MLGs and he and Joel kill pillagers in the hopes of obtaining crossbows. ZombieCleo and Ethoslab return, and the four go to Grian’s base and start digging under it. GoodTimesWithScar shows up briefly and the group is unable to find the secret sugarcane farm. ImpulseSV joins them after some time, looking for his and BdoubleO100’s stolen gunpowder. BdoubleO100 decides to be a lookout while the others continue digging and gives them a signal when Grian and GoodTimesWithScar return to the base.

Both Grian and GoodTimesWithScar are shocked by the number of holes around their base. Ethoslab, SmallishBeans, ZombieCleo, BdoubleO100, and ImpulseSV pretend to leave, but then stick around to see where Grian goes. BdoubleO100 notices that Ethoslab, ZombieCleo, and SmallishBeans are running away from the base and meets up with them; Ethoslab reveals that the mission was successful and gives some sugarcane to BdoubleO100.

InTheLittleWoods hits BdoubleO100 into Ethoslab’s cow farm and Ethoslab tries to get him out using a fishing rod, only for the fishing rod to break. ZombieCleo points out that BdoubleO100 can just use a ladder to leave the hole, which he does. He then falls into the sheep farm, and Ethoslab helps him out with a water bucket.

Smajor1995, ZombieCleo, Grian, GoodTimesWithScar, BdoubleO100, and Impulse convene at the Relationship Farm. Grian proposes a wager; two people that aren’t soulbound are to wager their best items and the last person to leave the powder snow wins. Grian places a barrel in which people who participate can put their best items in.

The participants are BdoubleO100 and GoodTimesWithScar. They both stand on top of a stone above the powder snow, and Grian breaks the stone, dropping BdoubleO100 and GoodTimesWithScar in the snow. Grian notices that BdoubelO100 and ImpulseSV are both eating, and he eats some bread himself for GoodTimesWithScar. BdoubleO100 throws out his food to ImpulseSV. GoodTimesWithScar eventually steps out of the snow first and reveals that he got down to half a heart. ImpulseSV and BdoubleO100 share their winnings.

ImpulseSV tells BdoubleO100 about how successful his caving trip was when they hear a warden nearby. They go to the Ranch where a lot of people have convened already and see that there’s a warden behind the back wall. BdoubleO100 sees Grian getting hit by a sonic blast through the wall. The warden gets inside the walls, and everyone escapes through the gates; the warden then chases after people after getting through the gates himself.

The warden chases Grian and some other people to the Relationship Ranch, but it refocuses on BdoubleO100’s group when SmallishBeans shoots it with an arrow. BdoubleO100 and Bigbst4tz2, who’s riding a horse, escape in the same direction. BdoubleO100 fights off a creeper, but Bigbst4tz2 approaches the creeper to help fight it and gets blown up.

ImpulseSV meets up with BdoubleO100 and BdoubleO100 reveals he was indirectly responsible for Bigbst4tz2’s death, as he set off the creeper that killed Bigbst4tz2. BdoubleO100 picks up Bigbst4tz2’s items and puts them in a barrel while ImpulseSV fights off mobs around him. Bigbst4tz2 comes to them on another horse, confused on how he died, and they show him the barrel containing his items. BdoubleO100 apologizes and Bigbst4tz2 puts on his armor and pulls out his sword, which leads to BdoubleO100 running away in a panic and him ending the episode.
