## Plot

### **Opening**

The episode first shows Cereal Box in the middle of nowhere, asking how he got there and where the Recommended Rumble set is. However, three strangers come in. Shuriken, the leader of them, tells Cereal Box that Recommended Rumble is in the past now. Cereal Box asks who he is and how he knows his name. However, Robot Four says that CB's question doesn't matter at the moment and what Cereal Box is was what really mattered. Cereal Box answered with the fact that he is on Recommended Rumble, but Crossy tells him he is so much more and explains that he has so much potential that he's wasting on a reality show like RR.

Cereal Box tells him that object shows aren't dumb and they're one of the biggest trends out there. However, Robot Four says that what he said was exactly what they mean. He says that Cereal Box should look at how he wastes his life, but then is cut off by his loss of words. Shuriken tells him the word he was looking for was "Internet", but Robot Four sees it as "internment", much to Cereal Box's dismay. Shuriken explains that he means Internet.

This makes Cereal Box a little happier, but he tells the trio he still wants his old question on who they were answered. Crossy states that it seems like he doesn't understand what the trio is saying, which Cereal Box admits to.

Shuriken tells Cereal Box that he has a lot to learn. He says he will put his true potential to use if he follows the trio. However, Cereal Box says he has to go back to the show. Robot Flower contradicts this by saying the show doesn't matter anymore and that the trio will help Cereal Box be more than just a "contestant". Cereal Box admits that it does indeed sound nice. Crossy seems to like this and mentions that they're put down for being recommended characters but they're actually just as good as everyone else.

Cereal Box is confused by this and Robot Four explains that no normal object show creator would make a robotic clone of Four from BFB. Cereal Box says Robot Four has a good point and that he'll come with them. However, he still thinks he's not meant for much more than the show, which angers Shuriken into telling him he's meant for nothing but greatness and that if Cereal Box follows them, they'll show him his new occupation. Cereal Box says that he'll go as long as it's okay with Credit Card, much to Shuriken's dismay. He explains once again that RR no longer matters to them, which Robot Four agrees with. This annoys Shuriken into calling Robot Four a reject; Robot Four is angered and says that the conversation is about Cereal Box and not him, causing Cereal Box to get annoyed and comply. Crossy maliciously seemed excited about this, telling him that they'll show him his "destiny".

### **Development stage**

We then see Stacked on the screen. Cartridgey asks his team who they're going to vote for, and Bunk Bed tells him that she's not entirely sure yet. He mentions that if he was sure, he wouldn't share his opinion out loud anyway. Cartridgey is interested by this, asking if Bunk Bed likes to keep things private. Bunk Bed tells Cartridgey that he's always been pretty mean to her and that he wasn't much help in the last challenge, much to Cartridgey's dismay. He contradicts Bunk Bed's point, explaining that he got the two diamond pickaxes. Bunk Bed points out that he could've put the diamonds in the Team Basket instead of making pickaxes out of them. She also mentions that she had to do all the mining since Cartridgey wouldn't, which Cartridgey complains is nonsense. Seven seems to appreciate this as he thought he would get out, exclaiming that Cartridgey is a nuisance. However, Bunk Bed points out that Seven was indeed the reason for their loss. However, Seven says this is an accident and mentions that he thought 7 was the highest number. Bunk Bed tells him that it's ironic to have a number that can't count, making Seven think he'll get eliminated more. Bunk Bed tells him to worry about it, at least not yet.

After that, we see The Dislikers having a conversation about who Downvote thinks will rejoin. Downvote says that it might be Mechanical Pencil as he was currently in last place and he thinks people in last place always rejoin. He mentions a few people in last place who rejoined in other object shows, like Flower in BFDI, Paper in Inanimate Insanity, and Disc from TUWR. Ringy says Downvote has a point and that it's an unexplained phenomenon in the OSC. Downvote asks Honeycombwhat she thinks. However, Honeycomb doesn't respond and Ringy points out that Honeycomb favors silence over friendship, much to Downvote's dismay. He mentions that friendship makes you cool like him, but Ringy responds that she'd prefer silence over Downvote. Downvote is annoyed at this and asks what Ringy says, but she responds and claims that she said nothing.

Legless Bros. (and Fez) then show up on the screen. Watermelon points out that Fez looks like something's on his mind and he says that he's dying to know it. Brownie reminds Watermelon that Fez cannot talk. This angers Cactusy, thinking it meant Fez was dumb and deciding to yell at Fez to tell him that he can't touch her or he'd die. Watermelon tells him to calm down, but this angers Cactusy even more. She asks Watermelon if he remembers last challenge, where Cactusy was trying to avoid (or "save", according to her) her teammates but they were forcing her to come along. Brownie points out that Cactusy is just being overdramatic then, angering Cactusy more and causing her to change the topic back to the conversation about Fez. Brownie reluctantly agrees to change the topic.

Watermelon urges Fez into saying what he's thinking, but Brownie reprimands Watermelon for trying to get him to talk. Watermelon says that there must be something they can do to hear Fez, giving Brownie an idea. Brownie grabs a machine that Sponge Cake apparently made before he was eliminated. Watermelon reveals that the machine is a Mind Reader Ray 2,000 and that it will work for what they're trying to do. Brownie asks Watermelon if he knows how it works and he claims that it's easy. He says that all you need to do is aim at the person you want to read the mind of, hit the trigger, and finally you'll hear their thoughts. He points out to try the ray on Honeycomb first because it would be a casualty if something happened to Fez.

Brownie shoots the ray at Honeycomb, prompting Watermelon to ask Brownie what she's thinking. Brownie says that all he can hear is a buzzing sound and there must be a bug in the machine (he also mentions that the pun is not intended). Watermelon points out that they're talking about Honeycomb and that the sound of bees probably comforts her. He tells Brownie that they know how it works, so they can use it on Fez now without something bad happening. Brownie zaps Fez, prompting Watermelon to ask again what the victim was thinking.

Brownie says that Fez was thinking something about Winner and how much he misses him, which reminds Watermelon that he hasn't seen Winner the entire day. Conveniently, Winner then shows up, hearing his name and saying hello to Watermelon. Watermelon is excited by this and asks Winner where he was and Brownie tells him that Fez has been missing him all day. Winner says he was auditioning for a new object show called The Power of Two and that he thinks it went well. This information shocks Watermelon as he wonders how Winner can do two shows at once, in which Winner replies that he doesn't and quits Recommended Rumble instead, much to Brownie, Watermelon, Fez, and Cactusy's dismay. Winner mentions that the show he's on isn't very good either way. He walks off-screen.

Watermelon points out that Fez is really upset now and he wants to hear what he's thinking again. However, Brownie is reluctant to shoot the laser as he feels Fez needs privacy.

### **Credit Card comes in**

Credit Card then appears, prompting the cast to come so the rejoin can commence. Watermelon comes telling him that everyone's present, which Ringy disagrees to and mentions that they're missing some people. Credit Card agrees and tells them that they're missing Cereal Box, Rainbow Blocky, and Winner. Brownie asks who Cereal Box is and Cartridgey says he isn't sure. However, he seemed to be eavesdropping on the Legless Bros.'s conversation as he announces that Winner quit. He also states that Rainbow Blocky died in the previous episode, which reminds Credit Card about the recovery center he built for the show. He also seems surprised that Winner quit and Cartridgey tells him that it's true. Watermelon says it was dreadful. Credit Card says that they can deal with that later and claims that it's elimination and rejoining time.

### **Elimination preparation**

Rainbow Blocky is recovered by the new Recovery Box in order to do the elimination. This makes Bunk Bed happy, but then Credit Card tells her team to cast their votes. He mentions that they can vote in the voting booth.

#### **Elimination confessionals**

Cartridgey claims he's voting Seven in an obvious decision. He mentions that he thinks Seven is annoying and the fact that he made the team lose in the previous episode.

Bunk Bed doesn't seem as certain about her vote, however. She mentions that she might vote Seven but isn't really sure. Before she announces her final decision, the episode cuts to Rainbow Blocky's confessional.

Rainbow Blocky seems angered about Seven killing her. Similar to Cartridgey, she mentions the fact that he made the team lose in the previous episode. She points out how obvious of a decision it was.

### **The elimination**

Credit Card announces that all the votes are in. The sudden change of setting for eliminations intrigues Rainbow Blocky into asking where the elimination area went. Credit Card says that the producers had to sell it, much to Rainbow Blocky's dismay. Credit Card mentions that only two members of Stacked got votes, and then calls out the people who didn't get any votes, which were Rainbow Blocky and Bunk Bed. The bottom two is Cartridgey and Seven. Credit Card claims both got 2 votes and it's a tie, calling for a tiebreaker challenge, which is to count to seven. Seven succeeds in counting to seven first, so Cartridgey is eliminated and sent to the Pipe. Credit Card makes a joke about Cartridgey's game being over, angering Cartridgey, who claims that only he is allowed to make gaming jokes. Credit Card announces that it is time for the rejoin.

### **The rejoin**

Credit Card mentions that he already gathered the eliminated contestants to the elimination area for the rejoin. He mentions the vote count, which is 9, and the first person to get 0 votes, which is Swappy. Swappy is angered by this and tells the viewers that they suck. Credit Card says Robot Tree also got 0 votes, which angers Robot Tree. Coolboy, according to Credit Card, only got 1 vote, prompting Coolboy to think he's "too cool for school". Credit Card calls the next person not rejoining, which is Sandwich, who claims his personality is really good. Not making the Top 2 is Mechanical Pencil, with only 2 votes. He beeps\* and no one is able to understand him. Credit Card then calls the person rejoining, who is Sponge Cake at 3 votes. Bubble Jr. didn't rejoin with only 2 votes, upsetting him. Sponge Cake thanks the viewers for allowing him to rejoin. He is told that he will go back on his old team, which makes Watermelon happy.

\*His beeping is translated below the screen, claiming he was saying that other people deserved to rejoin more than he did.

### **Debut announcement**

Credit Card recalls earlier in the episode when he said he knew what to do about Winner's disappearance. He tells everyone that the viewers recommended 15 total characters to have a chance to debut in the show. He says that only one of them will join and the viewers get to vote two characters to join through the Google Form that was placed in the description. He tells the contestants that have a chance to debut should say something before the viewers cast their votes.

### **Debut auditions**

* Night Light: "Hi, I’m Night Light. I’m kind, I guess, and I’m a little afraid of the dark, but I’m sure some of you can relate. It’s fine if you don’t vote me, but I’d appreciate it if you did"
* Oceany: "Okay, Oceany… be calm… \*deep breath\* so, I’m Oceany. I’m auditioning to join Recommended Rumble and, uh… uh… I… I’m kind of shy, but… uh, vote for me, please?"
