### Part 1

The episode starts with 404 in their dimension, feeling bored and decides to open some portals. The 1st portal leads to 30, who 404 doesn't find interesting. The 2nd portal was then followed by a speeding bullet, which 404 dodges in time. The 3rd and final portal leads to 38, which finds interesting. 38 says their name and 404 appears, morphing into a key to unlock their chain. The 3 escapes, making the 8 worried, while 404 laughs. It then cuts to 𝑖 & 𝝅 looking at Θ before he gets knocked out by 𝝅. They then get out of their underground hole and find 404 with their portal and 38's 8 in the distance. They go through the portal and 404 chases after them. 𝑖 & 𝝅 get sent to the destroyed 42GO! Factory and find a crate full of items. 𝑖 searches through the items and finds a purple syringe, before 404 confronts them. They head back to the 1st portal and 404 stops chasing them, giving up 𝑖 & 𝝅 went back to their underground and injects Θ with the purple syringe. Purple smoke appears from outside the hole, and Evil Θ gets out of the underground. The scene cuts to 36 walking when Evil Θ zooms past him. 19 calls 36 in English before 36 looks back and sees 19 saying his name. 36 ignores him and 19 calls him again, engaging a conversation. The 1 sees 38's 3 in the distance and warns the 9 about it. The 9 ignores him before the 1 sacrifices himself to save the 9 from being hit by 38's 3. 19's 9 looks at the dead 1 in disbelief before he grabs 38's 3 and telling him that "he messed up." 19's 9 proceeds to scrape 38's 3 to the ground while 27 was there before he was squashed by 38's 3. 36 watches in shock as 19's 9 takes 38's 3 to space, which he crashes into 51's UFO. 19's 9 follows him and kicks him onto the ground, killing him.

### Part 2

The episode continues from the last part, where 19's 9 lands onto the ground while 38's 8 approaches the crate from the explosion. He is shocked to see 38's 3's deceased body in the crate. 19's 9 watches 38's 3's dead body before walking away. 36 is seen worried about 19's 9 and tells him about needing help from 42. Meanwhile, the 42GO! crew is walking when 42 is approached by 19's 9. 42 asks what's wrong, and 19's 9 shows his son's dead body. 42 is sorry for his loss and gets 92's help to comfort 19's 9. 42 gives 92 19's son's dead body, and 92 decides to make a plush version of him. 92 gives the plush 1 to 19, and 19 thanks him. 19 gives his son's dead body to 36 and shows him his plush. Meanwhile, + watches from a distance, misthinking that 36 killed 19's son due to him being near the body. + hits 36 from behind before he gets shot by 36, making a hole through his body and killing him instantly. 19 gets scared from 36's kill. Meanwhile, 7 and his crew are walking when 7 decides to use 8's Σ Gem to revive someone. He decides to revive his sister, 14, possibly because he misses her. 7 revives 14, and 14's body is spawned. 7's crew gets confused before 14's spirit gets inside her body and wakes up. 14 observes 7's crew, then 25, 28, 29, and 30 in the distance before noticing 19's son's dead body. She approaches it before a scythe is swung behind her, and 14 screams. 37 yells at 14, telling her that she has "cheated death for the last time" when 7 confronts 37, ending the episode.

They both look at each other with 14 worried in the background and backing away, before their battle begins. 7 hits 37 and 37 swings his scythe at him but 7 dodges it, hitting him again. 37 swings his scythe again at 7, dodging it again, making his scythe stuck to the ground. 37 tries to get it out but 11 stomps him from above, before falling onto his scythe and getting flung by it after it got unstuck. 18 then goes to 37 while 5 and 6 sees this and 5 goes into 𝑖's underground to get their gems. 5 successfully grabs all of their gems while 𝑖 is talking with 𝝅, when he sees behind him before 6 helps 5 to get out of the underground and before being noticed by 𝑖. 5 then rushes to 18 and applies her gem to her. 37 swings his scythe and 18 shoots her gem at 2, cloning him into 4 Mini 2s. They rush at 37. with the 1st Mini 2 biting 37, but he throws him away. 37 crushes the 2nd Mini 2 with his scythe, killing him. The 3rd Mini 2 goes into 37's mouth but instead he gets chomped by him and being spat out. 1 knocks 37's scythe out of his hand and 20 goes and uses his gem at 37 to imprison him. Meanwhile, 14 approaches 19 with 36, talking about her plan on what to do with 37. 19 then runs up to him and knocks him out of the prison, getting him stuck to the ground. 37 gets back up and accepts defeat, but he would not leave without a reward, and that reward is killing 17, for being revived by 8. 37 takes 17's soul presumably to hell, ending the episode entirely.
