*Put Your Eggs In That Basket* is the second episode of Commodity Clash. It premiered on April 20th, 2023.

## Plot

The episode starts with Tophat standing in front of Tablet, who is going through a system update. Tophat is getting furious that Tablet isn't responding to him when USB Drive walks up, informing him that Tablet is updating. Tophat thinks this is weird, but USB explains that all electronics must update every once in a while, for a change. Tophat says that changing was weird, & that there's no need for him to change. Tablet awakens from their update & says hi to the duo. Tophat comments on how Tablet looks the exact same, despite the update. USB Drive is about to cuss him out when the intro plays, interrupting xem.

After the intro, Spade, Magnet, & Water Bottle can be seen hanging out underneath the tree. Envelope appears behind the trio, announcing that it's "Annihilation Time". Water Bottle asks if it should be elimination time instead, but Envelope informs her that it is indeed Annihilation Time, in order to avoid copyright. Magnet reminds Envelope about reviving Bowling Ball, & so he does that. Once Bowling Ball gets revived by Envelope, Magnet informs them that their team lost the challenge, & that he has a New York accent now. Spade tells the group that New York can haunt your dreams, but Envelope quickly shuts that conversation down in order to proceed with the Annihilation.

Envelope pulls a pie out of him, announcing that whoever gets a slice of pie is safe. Water Bottle, Magnet, & Spade are all safe with 2, 3, & 7 votes respectively, which means that Bowling Ball has been annihilated with 15 votes. Bowling Ball says their goodbyes as Envelope takes out an orange remote control, zapping Bowling Ball to an unknown location.

The scene cuts to Envelope explaining the next contest: collecting as many eggs as possible. The team with the least eggs is up for annihilation, while the team with the most eggs receives a prize, a BASS-branded cap. The contest starts as all the teams split up to go search for eggs. Spade informs The Jokers that they need to make up for last episode, so they needed a plan. Water Bottle was to search in the trees, since it's the tallest, & Spade was to search in the bushes, since they're the shortest. Magnet asks what he's supposed to do, so Spade encourages him to steal eggs from the other teams. When questioning the morality of this strategy, Spade reminds Magnet that the prize is a BASS cap, & as a big fan of BASS, Magnet would do anything for the cap. Magnet agrees to stealing eggs.

Friendly Squad is off searching for eggs. Glitter offhandedly mentions that the contest reminded her of a holiday, namely Beaster. When the others express confusion as to what Beaster is, Glitter gladly explains what the holiday is to them. The team thinks that the holiday sounds interesting, & that Glitter should explain more after the contest is over. Meanwhile, Bookmarky is searching for eggs in a bush. He asks Tophat why he has to look in the bushes. Tophat, who is sitting underneath a tree & doing nothing, explains that Limey is more suited for searching in the trees because he's heavier & won't fall out as easy, & that Pearly doesn't have any arms. When Bookmarky questions why Tophat isn't doing anything to help the team, Tophat gets offended & says that his silk might get torn.

No-Name is having trouble searching for eggs, when Jammy alerts the team that she's found something. When the team surrounds her to see what she's found, it turns out that it's just a JPEG of Hatsune Miku. The team is confused, but USB Drive says that Envelope might count it as an egg, so they put it in the basket anyway. Meanwhile, Chalk finds an egg in a tree, but Magnet hops up & taking it from her, saying that his team needs the egg more than her team does. Chalk gets mad attempts to chase after him, but trips & falls. Water Bottle & Spade find a few eggs when Magnet hops up, showing his team the egg that he's just stolen from Friendly Squad. Spade is proud of him, saying that they knew Magnet had it in him to cause some chaos.

The No-Namers are still having some trouble finding eggs. USB walks in with a Furby on top of xyr head, saying that it's egg-shaped so it's basically an egg. Tophat is still sitting under a tree, drinking tea while Limey & Bookmarky look for eggs in a nearby bush. Envelope announces with a megaphone that there are 2 minutes left in the contest. Fancypants only has 4 eggs, which Tophat is furious about. Magnet comes up & steals an egg from the team, but nobody does anything about it because there's only 2 minutes left. Bookmarky mentions that Pearly looks kind of like an egg, suggesting that they put her in the basket. Tophat starts to disapprove of this idea, but Pearly's all for it, hopping into the basket.

Friendly Squad is panicking, because they only have 2 eggs. Glitter is worried that they're not going to have enough time to get more eggs, but Magnet appears & says that there's enough time to steal more eggs, as he steals one of their eggs & hops away. Glitter starts chasing him, to Sandglass's horror. Chalk says that they're probably not the team with the least eggs, because she saw No-Name put a JPEG of Hatsune Miku in their basket. Meanwhile, No-Name is running up to where Envelope is. Tablet says that they have to get to Envelope before the timer's up. While running, Soapy takes out an Aperture Science Intelligence Dampening Sphere, saying that it looks sort of like an egg.

As the timer runs out, Envelope teleports everyone up to the tree. Tablet asks when Envelope was able to do that, to which he replies that it's just for plot convenience. Envelope takes out a device called the Egg Weigher (aka the EW), saying that he will use this device to count how many eggs are in each basket. The device says that Fancypants has 3 eggs, despite Envelope believing that there's 4. He asks where Pearly went. Limey says that the machine is probably bugged, which Envelope believes. No-Name has 3 eggs, The Jokers have 12 eggs, & Friendly Squad has 1 egg, leaving Friendly Squad up for annihilation. Envelope also gives Magnet the BASS cap, since his team got the most eggs.

The after-credits scene consists of Tablet sitting underneath the tree, playing Out Of Touch Thursday on their screen.

## Trivia

* Envelope's line "Woah, that's more than one OR two!" is a reference to HLVRAI, where the character Forzen says that the number 3 is more than 1 or 2, referring to the number of Bitbeasts that the Beyblade has.
* The episode's name was revealed the night before it was released in Jester's discord, as they posted a picture of them exporting the episode with the episode name in the image.
