## Coverage

The episode begins with Smartie being curious about what Picture Frame's plan may be, expressing her curiosity to Lampshade. Lampshade tells her that she was not paying attention to what she was saying and that the interest is not mutual. Smartie storms off and decides to ask Ruler instead. Ruler explains that Picture Frame didn't tell him and suggests Smartie asks her herself before creepily telling her not to get involved. Picture Frame and Thing then suddenly appear and tell her that it's none of her business, death threatening her.

Smartie then awakens, revealing that it was a dream. Thing reveals that Ruler, Toilet Paper, Money Bag, and Smartie are safe. Lampshade is revealed to be safe as well, leaving Candle and Mug. Candle is safe, much to Mug's surprise. After venting her discontentment with the show overall, Thing gives everyone their scrolls and guides everyone towards the challenge. Since Mug is eliminated, she is confused on how she should proceed. Thing explains why the show is named Nonexistent Living, explaining the elimination method-nobody remembers the person who gets eliminated. On top of this, they become invisible. Thing carries out the elimination method with Mug.

After they all read their scrolls, Magic Wand explains the challenge which is an maze. In addition to it being invisible, there are also invisible traps.

Twig begins by stating that it's going to be easy before hitting the maze wall. Twig and Medal bicker before Twig storms off.

Smartie offers to go with Lampshade, but Lampshade refuses and goes alone despite Smartie's pleading. Smartie is forced to go by herself.

Money Bag attempts to go through the maze by climbing the top, remarking on how he is going to have to do the maze the "old-fashioned way." Sharpener ridicules this statement, but then hits the wall.

Thermometer attempts to find his way through the maze, explaining that he has no idea on how he is going to get through the maze. Toilet Paper calls back on one of Thermometer's previous statements that was implying that he was going to lose, finding it ironic that Thermometer has no idea what he is going to do. Thermometer decides on following Picture Frame, believing she wouldn't notice and in the process finding out about her cheating with Thing. They both end up finishing in first place.

Lampshade is tired and is having a hard time going through the maze but continues in fear of being eliminated, passing by Note who is going the wrong way. Lampshade informs him of this, but he ignores her.

Sharpener comes across Ruler and greets him, but is received coldly. Ruler explains that he's great at doing mazes and rejects Sharpener's attempt to tag along, instead giving him a hint. Sharpener believes that he is using reverse psychology and decides to use the advice.

Candle asks Medal about what is happening between him and Twig and suggests attempting to fix Things between them, much to Medal's distaste. They then split up from each other.

Toilet Paper asks Twig about why he feels so negatively towards him. Twig begins explaining but doesn't go into detail, opting to focus on the challenge instead.

Lampshade finds her way to the end and Picture Frame mocks her.

Speech Bubble falls into one of the invisible traps. With nothing else to do, he decides on climbing out using the sharp rocks.

Smartie complains about Lampshade leaving her to go alone. Note appears and advises her to complain less and accept Things, stating that she would be voted a lot less. Smartie ignores this advice and walks away.

Ruler hits the wall and Mug laughs at this. Thing comments on how her iciness is the reason she got eliminated in the first place. Mug dismisses this, saying that it does not matter as she is already eliminated.

Ruler finishes and Magic Wand announces that there are only two safe spots left. Sharpener touches on how he most likely won't finish the challenge. Note suddenly appears behind him and agrees, stating he won't be able to either.

Candle makes it out of the maze, leaving only one spot left. Upon this being announced, Twig ditches Toilet Paper in favor of victory. Medal and Twig briefly race for the finish, Twig winning this. Medal, Note, Sharpener, Smartie, Speech Bubble, and Toilet Paper are all placed up for elimination.

Ruler hears something in the forest and decides to investigate. He is interrupted by Speech Bubble, warning him about the forest. The episode concludes with Ruler going into the forest and getting turned into stone by Anonymous, a statue in the forest.
