**Planting Seeds of Doubt** is BdoubleO100’s second episode of Double Life. It was uploaded on June 24, 2022.

## Plot

The episode starts with BdoubleO100 and ImpulseSV outside their base. They find InTheLittleWoods hiding in their cow farm pretending to be a cow. They accuse him of bamboozling them by selling them potion ingredients that they can’t use, but InTheLittleWoods states it’s their fault for not checking first. ImpulseSV asks InTheLittleWoods for a red mushroom, since he forgot to ask for one last session; InTheLittleWoods gives him one as part of their deal to let InTheLittleWoods have free access to their cow farm. InTheLittleWoods promises to only kill cows for himself and not for others as he dislikes his soulmate.

BdoubleO100 and ImpulseSV head inside their base and BdoubleO100 explains his plan for them to be homewreckers; he wants them to plant seeds of doubt in the heads of others and make people break up with their soulmates. They go a secret cave behind their base and place signs on the wall with the names of all the soulmate pairs. They then go over which person from each pair they want to like them; they decide on EthosLab from the EthosLab/SmallishBeans couple but make no definite choice yet for the other pairs.

ImpulseSV shows BdoubleO100 a secret water source he made in one corner of their base and plans on making different stews now that he has the red mushroom, while BdoubleO100 plans on working on the house. They find GoodTimesWithScar blowing his horn nearby, and he asks them whether there are any horses in the area; BdoubleO100 decides to go with GoodTimesWithScar so they can both get horses while ImpulseSV stays behind.

BdoubleO100 and GoodTimesWithScar tame horses together, and BdoubleO100 lies to GoodTimesWithScar that Grian had come by his base earlier. He doesn’t tell GoodTimesWithScar what Grian supposedly said but tells him to be careful in his relationship with Grian. GoodTimesWithScar tells BdoubleO100 about how Grian kicked the Jellie pandas out of his base and forced them to live in a hole, but BdoubleO100 implies that what Grian said to him was way worse.

GoodTimesWithScar suggests that BdoubleO100 should divorce ImpulseSV, so he and GoodTimesWithScar can go live in the forest together. BdoubleO100 instead states that there’s room for a third bed in his and Impulse’s base, and GoodTimesWithScar expresses his own doubts about Grian before leaving BdoubleO100, who’s gathering mangrove roots.

BdoubleO100 returns to ImpulseSV and tells him about his conversation with GoodTimesWithScar and how he successfully planted seeds of doubt; BdoubleO100 states that GoodTimesWithScar and Grian had a fragile relationship to begin with. They leave their base to get ImpulseSV a horse as well and run into Ethoslab, who is riding a horse very similar to GoodTimesWithScar’s. BdoubleO100 initially thinks Ethoslab stole GoodTimesWithScar’s horse, but Ethoslab reveals he just saw GoodTimesWithScar ride by on his own horse.

BdoubleO100 shows Ethoslab his own white horse. He and ImpulseSV tell Ethoslab that SmallishBeans swung by earlier and are vague about what SmallishBeans said but imply that Ethoslab should keep his guard up around SmallishBeans. Ethoslab is distraught, and they tell him they’re telling him this because they consider him a friend, pretending that they promised SmallishBeans not to say anything. They tell Ethoslab about their mid-century modern house, which has enough room for visitors.

ImpulseSV tames a brown horse and Ethoslab feels SmallishBeans taking damage, so he deliberately gets off his horse and jumps down a hill to take damage, to teach SmallishBeans to not take damage. Rendog and Bigbst4tz2 arrive on their own horses, and Rendog tells BdoubleO100 he found the rarest horse in the game (a pure black horse), offering to trade it for something valuable later; he rejects BdoubleO100’s offer to trade it for BdoubleO100’s white horse.

The group has a horse race to the BdoubleO100 and ImpulseSV’s base; ImpulseSV wins the race, though BdoubleO100 and Ethoslab are close behind. They then do a jump test, and all the horses can jump two blocks, but Bigbst4tz2’s and BdoubleO100’s horses can’t jump three blocks. Rendog and Bigbst4tz2 leave after this.

BdoubleO100 proposes that Ethoslab and ImpulseSV go to the deep dark together to get enchanted gear, and Ethoslab agrees. BdoubleO100 goes caving and mentions how he’s showing seeds of friendship with Ethoslab; he even gave Ethoslab his Piercing bow. He returns to his house and plans to finish it so he and ImpulseSV can organize a house party at one point. He works on the snow walls when he notices ImpulseSV and Ethoslab have reached the enchanting table.

BdoubleO100 hears PearlescentMoon laughing behind him and asks her how her alliances are going. She tells him that Smajor1995 ditched her for ZombieCleo, that InTheLittleWoods left her, and that her dog died. BdoubleO100 tells her Smajor1995 came by and said something he can’t tell her about but cautions her to be careful.

PearlescentMoon assumes that Smajor1995 means to do something to her, and BdoubleO100 tells her if she ever needs a place of refuge, BdoubleO100 and ImpulseSV will invite her in with open arms. PearlescentMoon shows BdoubleO100 the disc in the sky in the distance and tells him she lives there by herself with her resurrected dog. BdoubleO100 retracts his offer for her to have a home at his house, since she seems too reckless.

ImpulseSV returns from his trip to the deep dark and tells BdoubleO100 that several wardens spawned, but that he made sure that they could go back down there by making a path straight to the enchanting table. He tells BdoubleO100 that Ethoslab didn’t really understand the dangers of the deep dark, but that he did manage to tell Ethoslab all kinds of stories about SmallishBeans. BdoubleO100 tells ImpulseSV about PearlescentMoon and her crazy recklessness and how she seemed unfazed by his warnings.

Ethoslab comes by with SmallishBeans and TangoTek and they discuss how ImpulseSV found a huge vein of iron in the deep dark while escaping the warden. Ethoslab confronts SmallishBeans about the rumors he’d heard from ImpulseSV and BdoubleO100, and SmallishBeans is outraged; he states that he hasn’t seen the two all session and shows off his Ethoslab shirt to them. He theorizes that ImpulseSV and BdoubleO100 are projecting their own problematic relationship onto himself and Ethoslab. BdoubleO100 tells Ethoslab that his offer of sanctuary still stands.

ZombieCleo comes over on her donkey just as Ethoslab and SmallishBeans are leaving, and BdoubleO100 tells her that InTheLittleWoods has been saying bad things behind her back. ImpulseSV states that lots of people have come to their house to hang out before opening up about their feelings about their partnerships. ZombieCleo concretely asks what InTheLittleWoods said about her, and BdoubleO100 states he can’t tell her what InTheLittleWoods is planning, but he and ImpulseSV warn her to sleep with her eyes open.

BdoubleO100 tells ZombieCleo she is welcome to stay at his and ImpulseSV’s house as a place of refuge. ZombieCleo is outraged since she gave InTheLittleWoods diamonds earlier that session. BdoubleO100 then tells her Smajor1995 had also been saying things about her, but ZombieCleo claims that Smajor1995 hasn’t left his house all day. She calls BdoubleO100 a liar and questions him and ImpulseSV on when exactly Smajor1995 came over.

ZombieCleo states that BdoubleO100 should never lie to her, despite her and BdoubleO100 being divorced. BdoubleO100 breaks and apologizes to her for lying, stating that he’ll never do it again. ZombieCleo leaves and BdoubleO100 thinks his tactics didn’t work on PearlescentMoon and ZombieCleo because neither of them is with their soulmates; he admits that he got too greedy with ZombieCleo in also mentioning Smajor1995 to her. He and ImpulseSV think that they did manage to plant seeds of doubt in people, which is where the episode ends.
