As Wiatt works his way through the facility, the corrupted animatronics find new allies in their hunt for Sara.

## Summary

   The video beings with Rain discussing the Dreamworld Entertainment Keychains, during which they complain about feeling watched. The footage cuts abruptly to a dark room. Mechanical scraping and fiddling is heard through a door until a red light appears from under it before it slowly opens, revealing two white eyes.

Wiatt regains consciousness inside of a small room filled with boxes. A soft voice calls out to him, complimenting him on the progress he has made through the facility though it suggests he needs help. Wiatt recognizes the voice from recovered footage, identifying the voice as Alison and recording his ghostly figure. Alison mentions having saved Wiatt from drowning before explaining that the location of the facility is cursed and has been home to tragedy for generations. He suggests that Wiatt may be the brave person he and other trapped beings have been waiting for in order to be freed. When Wiatt asks Alison for help in trying to save the people trapped within the facility, Alison instead refocuses onto escaping the area he's found himself in -- a section of the display tunnels of the Seaventure water park. Alison begins leading Wiatt down the long corridor, being careful not to alert the virus-infected Glory. Wiatt comments on how he never expected his rescue mission could get so out of hand with the amount of people involved, nor the apocalyptic events behind it.

Alison warns him that Glory is nearby but that Glory's vision has been damaged by the virus, leaving her unable to see Wiatt if he does not move. The two continue on, with Alison warning Wiatt to freeze whenever Glory comes too close. Wiatt questions what Litho's goals could be, figuring that neither Winnie or Sara want the world to end. He is shocked at the amount of otherworldly elements that have gotten involved in his investigation. However, Alison explains that all the occurrences at the facility has nothing to do with the paranormal or magic and that everything can be explained with science.

Wiatt becomes frustrated at the mysteries piling onto his work. Alison urges him to stop, but Wiatt refuses and continues yelling. Eventually Alison clarifies that that Glory can see him. As Wiatt aims the camera down, revealing Glory lurking just beneath his feet, he expresses his fear that nobody will believe him, even with the footage he is sending out. He laments he just wanted Lewis back before becoming involved in the larger threats surrounding Dreamworld, though he knows that if he abandoned everyone else, he'd never forgive himself. Wiatt goes so far as suggesting he stops recording his investigation before Alison reassures him that his documentation of Litho's downfall is invaluable for humanity's history, as well as for Alison's allies regarding his protection of the Spirit Realm. As they both near the end of the tunnel, Alison admits that he is fascinated by Wiatt's adventures and would appreciate a reminder that humanity still has hope through people like him. Just as Wiatt thanks Alison, Glory's hand breaches the glass of the tube.

    A Dreamworld Entertainment employee training tape begins which concerns the collaboration between Dreamworld Entertainment and Watchful Eye Toys. Alongside Dreamworld Entertainment merchandise, the company will also be producing their own products, "Twimblos." For the sake of ensuring the campaign succeeds, all management level employees are expected to adopt a Twimblo as their own. A new set of guidelines for staff members regarding Twimblos are explained. If a customer asks about Dreamworld Entertainment merchandise they are to be told about Watchful Eye Toys and Twimblos, gift shops must contain at least three posters for the campaign, and any suspicious figures handling large crates are not to be interacted with by staff or guests. The tape introduces a final guideline about discovering a body, only to become heavily distorted with a faint image of a corpse appearing. The fifth and final guideline encourages employees to enjoy the collaboration and adopt their own Twimblo. Low-level staff are thanked for their loyalty and dedication to the company before being dismissed as the next segment of the tape is for management level staff only. Anyone not authorized to continue watching the tape is warned that it will be the last thing they see as a licensed animatronic will arrive and remove their eyes.
The tape begins explaining a new power source that will be used during the corporate collaboration, that being Soul Energy. The body's physical response to strong emotions produces a powerful substance known as "Essence," the tangible energy of an individual's unique soul. Memories are extremely important to Essence with the different emotions a person feels from a certain memory affecting the amount of Essence created and thus shaping their soul, impacting the soul's individual strength and properties. Memories are grouped into three categories -- recollection, reminiscence, and rumination. Recollection memories are made up of information gathered throughout life and have little emotional investment which leads to them producing the least amount of Essence. Reminiscence memories are events that an individual has lived through and provide an adequate amount of Essence due to their emotional attachment and nostalgia. Rumination memories are made up of emotions brought forth by certain triggers, and while the memories hold no actual information, they contain the memory of how emotions were experienced in response to individual stimuli. Rumination memories hold the most amount of Essence and should be sought after.

    The collection of Essence is deemed necessary because the individuality of human beings and animals alike are all because of souls. A soul removed from a body becomes a spirit, with the body becomes a corpse. The tape dismisses the implications of spirits existing and instead describes an ethical way to harvest Essence. The substance can be condensed into soul energy, a resource so strong that it could power machines, such as ones capable of time travel, transmutation, or teleportation. The anonymous director of Watchful Eye Toys claims to have discovered this in a time foreign to our own, and once he reveals his face, the world will enter a new age of technology and power. High-level management staff are expected to help with this program, as Sara Covetman has made it mandatory for everyone to adopt their own Twimblos. Thanks to their adorable appearance, Twimblos are showered with affection that produces Essence, which the creatures can then store inside of themselves. On a monthly basis, Twimblos will deliver all Essence collected to the facility and deposit it into The Collector to be converted into soul energy. The tape ends with a reminder of its confidential nature and the claim that together, the mortal world and the Spirit Realm will be merged and create immortality.

    Now outside of Seaventure's pools, Wiatt sets up his camera as he comments that Glory was the most difficult animatronic to fix so far. Wiatt sarcastically boasts being an incredible swimmer before crediting Alison for doing most of the work in helping her. When Glory inquires about Alison, Wiatt explains that he is a ghost who haunts the grounds the facility is built on. As Wiatt questions how he could've lost sight of Alison, Glory asks to see Rex again. Wiatt tells her that he is infected with the virus somewhere within the facility, likely along with LolliPop and Cheer. Glory panics only for Wiatt to comfort her and mention wanting to find Star Light first. Glory teases him about how close he and Star Light are and compares their importance to one another to her own relationship with Rex. Glory asks Wiatt if he thinks she and Rex will be able to have a better, happier life after everything, to which Wiatt promises they can. Glory, ready to follow Wiatt up a floor, explains that she can attach the beam on her tail to tracks that run through different tunnels of the building so that she can appear on other floors. She offers to carry Wiatt to keep him safe, and the two prepare to move out and find the others.

    Pop argues with a corrupted Cheer about how to find Wiatt, knowing the fall through Trampoland wasn't enough to kill him. Cheer scolds Pop for looking in the wrong places, as Wiatt fell into the water park's pools from Trampoland. The argument escalates into another fight with Lolli over killing Wiatt. A disguised Sara interrupts them, accompanied by Winnie and Oliver. She offers to join in on their plan to hunt down "Sara." Winnie introduces himself as the tenth animatronic of the facility and explains that he was used for more behind-the-scenes work, away from the other characters. Sara introduces everyone to Oliver, whom Winnie unceremoniously drops to the floor, as she comments that he's been tampering with the company's technology. She says that he'd be the perfect one to help them find Sara as Oliver looks on in fear.

    Damien Klein searches for any evidence to expand upon his case against Dreamworld Entertainment. Frustrated, he comments about being unable to reveal that that his eye allows him to see Essence because no one would understand the concept. As a purple aura engulfs him, he says that his one lead could be three children who died in Sara's elementary school class. Though the news reported the incident as an accident, Damien knows that Sara had killed them. He senses that the souls of those three children are still trapped in the facility, though he does not know where they are stored.

    Back in Trampoland, Star Light calls out for Wiatt while Ribbon Dancer suggests looking elsewhere. As Star Light only becomes more frustrated, Ribbon Dancer attempts to comfort him, calling him "Lewis." Star Light, shocked, turns back to see Ribbon Dancer's eyes have switched to green pupils with yellow sclera and realizes he is speaking with a coherent, lucid Eric. Star Light laments that this is only temporary, that Eric would forget everything again soon. Eric comments that he feels like he's drifting in and out of existence, as if his soul wasn't really there. When he asks Star Light how Carly is doing, Star Light assures him that she's fine and that they'll free her from the virus. Before Eric changes back again, Star Light asks him why he wasn't afflicted by the virus. Eric hypothesizes that the virus only affects haunted or possessed machines and the souls inside of them, and that with his "damaged soul," the virus can't work on him. Star Light promises that he and everyone else will escape the facility before Eric glitches and becomes Ribbon Dancer again. Ribbon Dancer teases Star Light about his conversation with Wiatt as The Triplets watch on, with a pair of blue eyes glowing in the darkness behind them.
