## Plot

### Cold Open

The series starts off with Invisible introducing himself. Red asks why him and others are in the show, and Invisible says they're competing on Algicosathlon Mania. Black wants to know what the prize is, but Invisible can’t tell him. Invisible then announces the first challenge and the intro plays.

### The Challenge

The challenge starts off with Orange falling and Lime having difficulty climbing up the rock. Red quickly makes it to the top first, making him a team captain. Yellow calls him a cheater but Invisible tells Yellow to shut up. Meanwhile, Turquoise and Lavender look at the rock and are scared to climb it. Green encourages them to do it and says there's nothing to be afraid of. Black disagrees with him then accidentally falls off the rock and hits the ground, which causes Lavender to scream. Later, Magenta makes it to the top and also becomes a team captain, and the challenge ends.

### Team Picking

Red chooses Blue first because of their alliance and Blue says he made a wise choice. Magenta chooses Pink for the same reason. Red picks Green because of their alliance, and Magenta picks Cyan, who doesn't seen happy about getting picked. Res picks Lime because of their alliance, and Lime tells Red to choose Purple next. Red questions why and Lime says "I dunno" in a romantic way, Green tells Red that Lime has a crush on Purple, with Lime looking embarrassed. Magenta picks Lavender, which saddens Red due to wanting Lavender on his team. Green suspects that Red likes her, with Red trying to deny it but failing to.

Magenta picks Yellow and Orange, who are happy about it, but Red is mad because Magenta picked 2 people, so he does the same by picking Black and White. A severely injured Black thanks Red for picking them and then falls on his face. Magenta picks Turquoise, who is sad about it. Red wants Tan on his team, but gets interrupted by Lime, who says he wants Purple on his team. Lime starts running to Purple and hugs her, who feels weirded out by him. An annoyed Red picks Tan for his team shortly after. Magenta picks Gray on her team, who is sad about it. Red chooses Brown, who gets frightened by Blue scaring him. Magenta is left with Olive, who is sleeping, and Magenta is not happy about it at all.

### Team Name Choosing

Red suggests a team name but gets interrupted by Lime before he can say it. Lime announces "The Purple Lovers!", which becomes their official team name. Red is furious about this and threatens to kill Lime, Blue is shocked by what Red said. Magenta says her team name but due to Olive's loud snoring Invisible couldn’t hear what she said. Magenta says the name again in frustration but Invisible still couldn’t hear her due to Olive’s snoring. Magenta ends up screaming out of anger, and thus, their team name is "Team AAAAAA!!!”. Pink blames Olive for the team’s name. Lastly, Invisible announces the end of the first episode of the Algicosathlon Mania series!.
