Carly searches the facility for her father.

## Summary

   The short opens with Wiatt setting up his camera to record a log entry for his and Damian's investigation against Dreamworld Entertainment. After introducing himself, he announces that currently they are sorting out their findings regarding Litho. While Wiatt's last venture into the facility led to him recovering more footage, he admits that he does not know anything about the being. A few journal entries were discovered but none mention Litho by name, and while Alison would have been able to provide insight, he has gone missing.
Wiatt introduces the device containing the newly-recovered recordings, that being a pink plastic camera that belonged to Carly Gale. When questioned about her by Damian, Wiatt shares that she was the adopted daughter of Eric Gale, a kind man and former teacher to Lewis Bright who he suspects has not been safe. Damian interrupts, being skeptical that the recovered footage are truly helpful for their investigation. Their focus should be on Litho instead. Wiatt argues that Eric and Carly may have been Litho's victims, to which Damian relents before deciding to check the camera footage.

   A recording taken by Carly begins, with the camera focused on employees restocking plush toys of the mascots. Carly remarks on how much merchandise there is, admitting it makes sense given how large the building is. While wondering aloud about what exactly her father worked on, she is suddenly approached and accidentally scared by the silent LolliPop animatronic. Tearing up, Carly yells at them to leave her alone before they wander off. While muttering to herself in frustration, her attention is called over by the employee Hayden. Carly tells him that she is looking for her dad, to which he reacts with annoyance at dealing with another lost child. Once he searches his computer system for Eric Gale, he reacts with mild surprise to seeing that management, already knowing Carly lost her dad, has left special instructions on finding him in the form of a scavenger hunt. Annoyed, Carly takes the scavenger hunt and sets out.
Later in the footage, Carly records herself in Trampoland with a bucket already containing a few objects. Xavier passes behind her and bumps into her, causing her to yell at him. Xavier apologizes before turning and seeing Carly, now shocked. He remarks in confusion that she is "the next one," despite only being a child. Carly responds that she's only on a scavenger hunt and doesn't need any adult's help, and Xavier advises her to stay safe as enough mistakes have happened that century and he is not able to interfere with what happens. Carly makes fun of him for using the word "century" before leaving, muttering about how many weirdos come to the facility.

   Seated next to a ball pit, Carly complains that she isn't having any fun with the hunt. Ribbon Dancer suddenly emerges from the ball pit, loudly berating her for not having a good time. Carly says that she only wants to finish her game and leave, to which Ribbon Dancer comes closer to her, excitedly asking her to let him see. Scared, Carly hits him in the head with his bucket, and he reels back, his eyes briefly turning to static before he comes back as Eric. He finds the bucket in his lap and Carly crying across the room. She suddenly turns to see the bucket returned to her, now containing a green ladybug. With that item collected, Carly leaves to finish the game. Eric watches her do so from within the ball pit.
Despite Staract being closed, Carly ventures in to find her last item. All of the lights are out and no one else is present, so she calls out for anyone there to help. A spotlight activates on set and Star Light descends to tell her that there is no scavenger hunt. She reacts with confusion before handing her scavenger hunt list over to him, and he corrects himself before leaving to fetch her an item. Carly tries to correct him that he gave her a microphone when she needed a star, and Star Light tries to convince her that the microphone makes someone a star. She dismissively tosses the item in her bucket, happy to be through with the hunt so she can find Eric. Star Light reacts anxiously before telling her that her father is waiting in the lobby and that she can still see him if she leaves now. Once she is gone, Star Light goes back stage and calls for Rex to leave the Racetrack, warning him that there is something dangerous in the facility and a young girl must be escorted out as quickly as possible.

    As Carly walks through the halls of the Staract floor, she finds a room marked "Star in Here." Determined to pick up the right item, she enters, picks up a flashlight, and begins to search. Winnie, unnoticed by her, appears in the doorway and enters, closing the door behind him.

The footage ends, revealing Wiatt and Damian both horrified at what they saw. Damian sarcastically notes that they got to watch a child get murdered, though he notes that her soul was likely used for one of the animatronics considering Winnie was the one to catch her. When he complains that the footage adds nothing to their investigation, Wiatt snaps back that the recordings are still important and could help get the animatronics' memories back. Damian asserts that those regained memories could simply be erased again and that they need real answers. As he questions where they could search besides the facility, Oliver enters on a crutch. Damian rushes to his aid, but Oliver hints that he has an idea as to where they could search next.

Morris, Oddity, and Norman are seen sitting on the floor of a room filled with speaking twimblos, with Norman reading through a book. Morris asks if they can "start the plan now," and Norman tells him no. The two pause while the camera drifts over the twimblos in the room before returning, and Morris asks if they can start again. Norman groans in annoyance.
