Pomni, a member now held in the "The Amazing Digital Circus" is met with other unfamiliar characters as well as Caine, the ringmaster, who sets them on an adventure to capture the mischievous Gloinks. However tensions arise once the characters realize that one of their absent members is found disfigured and abstracted.

## Plot

Following the title screen we are presented to the show by Caine (an AI ringmaster that takes the form of chattering teeth with eyes and a body) who welcomes the viewers to the Circus along with Bubble, Caine's created AI companion. We are then introduced to the rest of the characters and the theme song: Gangle (who takes the form of a theatre mask with 5 red ribbons), Zooble (who takes the form of an entity made out of parts from those Mix & Match toys), Kinger (who takes the form of a white king chess piece wearing a purple robe), Ragatha (an optimistic Raggedy Ann doll), Jax (a mischievous purple rabbit resembling a stretchy toy in fuchsia overalls), and the absentee Kaufmo (who takes the form of a cartoonish clown, only his cardboard cutout is seen). During all this, a new jester character suddenly appears in the Circus and disrupts the song (and also breaking Gangle's comedy mask by accident). It's quickly revealed the the jester was once a human from earth (implying to be wearing a headset the entire time when she gets transported), however she is informed by the other characters that she wasn't the first, as the other characters were also from earth before teleporting to the Circus (Kinger is currently the one who stayed the longest and went crazy), and also reassures her that she will get used to her new home and body after she gets panicky.

Still fearful, confused and desiring to leave, Caine starts introducing the new jester to The Tent where everyone lives, The Grounds for adventures outside of the tent, and The "mysterious" Void (which Caine advises her to not venture to) by teleportation. The jester briefly notices an exit door but Caine changes the subject to her name (he brushes it off as a "digital hallucination"). After the jester becomes disoriented again because of forgetting her new name, Caine shows some powers limit and decides to give her a new name, that being Pomni. Caine declares a brand new in-house adventure, to help Pomni get used to the place, that being to gather the Gloinks infested in The Tent, small critters that stick to anything they bump into.

Not long after the adventure starts, Zooble decides to quit it early but gets disjointed and captured by the Gloinks. Back to the rest of the members, Ragatha suggests to go check on Kaufmo with Pomni since he is unaware of the newbie's appearance, however Kinger reports of him going insane, rambling of some form of exit like Pomni. Jax proclaims that he, Ragatha and Pomni should go check with Kaufmo while Kinger and Gangle help saving Zooble, which gets Ragatha concerned a bit. Ragatha introduces Pomni to their dormitory & quarters where they sleep, but since they aren't human, they don't need human essentials to live on, and talks about how if a character goes insane then "something really bad" will happen to them, which traumatizes Pomni.

They reach Kaufmo's room, and after an aggressive exchange between Ragatha and Jax, they open the door to see Kaufmo now horribly disfigured into a monstrous black mass creature with rainbow eyes (the "something real bad" Ragatha mentioned), who damages Ragatha to the point of her glitching up, Kaufmo then chases after Pomni while Jax runs away with a bowling ball. The monster then crashes through the railings and chases a Gloink next, allowing Pomni to talk with Ragatha. Meanwhile Kinger and Gangle find where Zooble has gone to, which just so happens to be a giant hole in the ground. When Jax came by to keep a short distance from the beast, he lies about Kaufmo being alright and goes with the other 2 through the hole. All 3 then encounter the Gloinks Queen, who Jax insults with an ugly comment. Kinger also finds Zooble's head, and fails at saving it from being devoured by the queen.

Back to Pomni, she talks with a glitching Ragatha and they conclude that only Caine can help them. She goes off to find him, opening a bunch of doors leading to random and surreal looking rooms while avoiding monster Kaufmo, before finding the exit door which generated out of thin air. She enters the door only to find herself trapped in an almost realistic looking office labyrinth that she gets lost in, a place that is oddly out of place from the more colorful environment she found herself in. The EXIT door then disappears out of thin air. Back to the nest, the Gloink Queen expresses her plans to turn anything and everything into all Gloinks like herself and the rest of her nest when Kaufmo crashes down and beats the crap out of her, releasing Zooble and allowing the other characters to leave. Pomni meanwhile still tries to find the end of this labyrinth, coming across an old computer along with a rusted out VR headset before going through a door with the logo of a company called "C&A" marked above (presumably the company that developed the game or warping technology). She is then led to the Void and falls into a state of trance by it.

Caine and Bubble were in a restaurant when Caine sees on his Wacky Watch that someone is now in the void and rushes to take Pomni back to the tent. He then realizes that Kaufmo became abstracted and casually drops him through a custom made hole that leads him to the "Cellar", a place where those abstracted ended up. Caine then reverts Ragatha's glitched state back to normal. He apologizes for lying about the exit door and that he wasn't capable of thinking on what to put on the other side of it, he warns the group that the Void could be disastrous for them. As a reward for finishing their adventure, Bubbles has made them a feast to feel more like they're at home. Pomni, still in awe and disbelief from today, tries to keep her cool as she's about to lose sanity while on the dinner table with the rest. The episode ends as the shot zooms out into the Void and beyond, and finally into the old computer from before (suggesting that the Void might actually be their way out of the circus).
