Supposed Subjects

**“Supposed Subjects”** is the sixteenth episode of *Object Oppose*, released on September 10, 2023.

## Plot

The episode starts with Tori watching the previous episode on the television in Tiffany’s apartment. Impatiently, after the episode ended, she demanded the next episode. And so, she used the television Tiffany reprogrammed to get Microphone, who was playing on his phone. After Tori bashed him, getting his attention, she demanded that he start episode 16. He then advised her to wait another week, lowering her patience more as she cried, begging for episode 16, causing him to give in. After a few hours, Microphone returned with paper puppets of the contestants, which Tori immediately noticed as she pointed out that they were not the actual contestants. As Microphone continued to use the puppets as the contestants, he performed an elimination with Soap Bottle eliminated. As to the contest, racing, he presented Dynamite winning first place, leaving Baseball, Sponge, and Taoism up for voting. After wrapping the episode, Tori instantly showed abhorrence towards it since it was fake and short. Irritated Microphone soon placed the television towards the cliff where Tori could enjoy the view while he would get the real contestants. However, he was actually distracting her so he could anonymously kick the television off the cliff, which frightened her. After it fell into the river, sports suddenly appeared in Microphone’s head. Therefore, Microphone decided to search for some sports to play as he walked past the recovery center, which started operating.

Several days later, Flat Screen offered a game of association football, which interested Soap Bottle, Sponge, Baseball, and Dynamite. In teams, Sponge and Soap Bottle were to play against Dynamite and Baseball, with Sponge and Baseball as the goalkeepers. During the first game, when Soap Bottle tried scoring a goal, he firmly kicked the ball directly at Baseball, bashing his face. Soap Bottle soon stopped the game, concerned about Baseball. After Sponge suggested kicking more softly, which Dynamite tried doing, Soap Bottle planned to resume the game.

Meanwhile, Ying and Yang played tic-tac-toe alone on the stage with Dynamite’s Expo markers and dry-erase board. Yang won for the second time with three red Xs in a row and willingly called out Ying for being bad at the game. An anthropomorphic blueberry approached, calling out Yang’s contempt towards Ying. After Yang tried offering a game with her, who immediately denied, he told her to leave. Calling her a “kid,” triggering her, she demanded that he treat her like a woman despite being underage. As Yang considered her a Karen, she thought of him being more than the color of a toilet, making a bigger threat, testing his patience. While she doubted that he had patience, a soccer ball rolled toward the two. Baseball then asked Blueberry to kick it back to him, but Yang instead kicked it toward him, striking him in the face for the second time. Blueberry was not pleased by Yang’s action, which irritated him more.

As the day was Sunday, Flat Screen suddenly remembered that Microphone planned to do episode 16 during the weekend. Because Microphone was absent, Flat Screen decided to host the episode with the contestants’ approval. However, Yang did not think the episode could start due to Blueberry’s trespassing, although Blueberry was about to leave as she stated.

During the elimination, Flat Screen reminded the contestants of how the voting would work. Because Sponge won immunity in the previous episode, he was the first to vote. Like he did in that episode, he voted for Taoism. Soap Bottle voted for Dynamite, accusing him of ruining the previous challenge for him, which tempted him to vote for Soap Bottle. Yang voted for Dynamite as he found him meek and useless. Flat Screen soon remembered that due to Taoism’s detachment, he needed Ying and Yang to compromise on who to vote out. After he asked Ying whether he agreed with Yang, Yang stated that he would start speaking for himself and Ying, resulting in Taoism voting for Dynamite, which led Baseball to vote for Taoism. With two votes each, Taoism and Dynamite needed a tiebreaker. Flat Screen advised Ying and Dynamite to run towards Yang and Baseball as the tiebreaker. As the two were off, Yang’s gloss deflected the sun. Running blind, the two fell to the ground; Ying rolled toward Yang, and they won the tiebreaker, meaning that Dynamite was eliminated, which upset Baseball.

As an elimination includes prizes for the safe contestants, which Soap Bottle mentioned, Flat Screen did not have any to offer. Suddenly, an anthropomorphic television appeared on screen with four paper fans he had made with construction paper, which were meant for the following contest Flat Screen ideated for the first time. Flat Screen soon got a call from Tiffany, whom TV inquired about until Yang pointed out that she reprogrammed him in episode 1. During the call, Flat Screen revealed to Tiffany that the television she had been controlling was anthropomorphic, which shocked her as she began feeling guilty. Due to not using TV anymore, Tiffany suggested video chatting with Flat Screen, which he recommended discussing at another time. Before ending the call, she mentioned that she would “figure out” a way to do a video call, which gave Flat Screen a new idea for the new challenge.

Inspired by Tiffany’s words, Flat Screen announced that the following challenge was for the contestants to describe ten images he would display to them for Tiffany to guess. While hearing Yang’s rant on the contest, he had him participate due to Ying’s participation in the previous challenge. He also advised the contestants to form pairs, making the contest more enjoyable and easy. Sponge and Soap Bottle immediately got together, leaving Baseball to pair up with Yang. After explaining the contest, Flat Screen then called Tiffany for her to participate. With Sponge and Soap Bottle up first, he displayed the first image. Up to the ninth image, Tiffany has guessed each correctly. However, when Flat Screen showed the last image to Yang and Baseball, they were unaware of its depiction and, hence, misled Tiffany, who guessed incorrectly. After Flat Screen passed the image onto Sponge and Soap Bottle, Soap Bottle knew its depiction and instantly described it to Tiffany. The pair won as Tiffany guessed the image right, which caused Yang and Baseball to bicker at one another for not knowing the image.

After Flat Screen ended their fight, Microphone returned, thinking a party was happening. Flat Screen then corrected him and later explained the challenge within the episode. Microphone soon noticed TV, who thanked him for reviving him after Tiffany mentioned that Tori informed her regarding the incident she had with Microphone days earlier. Finishing the episode, Microphone announced that Taoism and Baseball would rather compete in a contest than get put for voting as they are up for elimination.

As shown in the credits, Microphone talked to Flat Screen about his time playing sports. Later on, Tiffany was on her laptop creating a video call. She soon appeared on Flat Screen, alarming the contestants, especially Yang. Due to the video call being successful, Tiffany soon called her best friend, Kaelyn, who was with Tori, to join the call. While the three chatted with Microphone, Flat Screen, and TV, Sponge and Baseball forbid Yang to play association football with them. As the females later interacted with the contestants, Yang and Baseball quarreled with Tiffany and Kaelyn, unsettling Flat Screen. Afterward, Sponge, Soap Bottle, and Baseball returned to playing association football with Flat Screen (and Tiffany) as Dynamite’s replacement while everyone else but Ying watched.
