Today's Very Special Episode

Today’s Very Special Episode is the fourth episode of BFB, the fourth season of BFDI, and the 41st episode overall. It was released on December 22, 2017.

Death P.A.C.T. lost the challenge.

Bracelety is eliminated with 9168 votes, with Gelatin being the runner-up at 3449 votes.



Before the Intro
Eraser asks Bell what her string is attached to. She says it's none of his business, but after he says he's going to find out, he starts to climb Bell's string. After that, Liy finds Bell and asks what is going on. Bell tells her about Eraser, and Liy is interested in the string and starts climbing it. After Liy starts to climb, Snowball appears and tells Bell that he can get Eraser and Liy off. Bell is thankful for this, but is mad when Snowball says that he has to climb up as well.

Episode
Foldy and Stapy are playing RPS when Marker asks to join. Foldy then explains the game to him, and then they start to play. Marker, however, plays illegal moves until he plays "Four". Four starts to come out of his hand, and when he is out, he prompts to start Cake at Stake.

After the Cake at Stake theme plays, only Donut is shown to be at the elimination area. When Four asks where the rest if Team Ice Cube is, Donut says that they're all climbing Bell, and then a shot of Bell with a lot of people in her string appear. Donut thinks this is rude, but Gelatin just thinks that he's a party pooper. Bracelety agrees, and high fives Gelatin, but falls to the ground and wraps around Four.

X reveals the amount of votes (20255 votes), and starts handing out cake to the safe contestants. Bomby caught his cake with his foot. Barf Bag accidentally put vomit over the cake when she got hers, because she flipped upside down. Next, Naily fell off of Bell's string and onto Woody when she got her cake. Donut's cake goes right through himself (taking off the vomit) and goes to Bottle, and then she eats it and says that she loves cake. Loser then elbows Cake, and then Cake proceeds to gasp and blush. It comes down to Gelatin and Bracelety, and Bracelety is eliminated with a total of 9,168 votes. Gaty says that Bracelety didn't care of what people thought of her, and Ice Cube's mouth twitched downward a little bit.

Next, Bell asks Lightning to be shocked. Bell says that if she gets shocked, the shock will travel up her string. Lightning proceeds to shock bell, and all of the people who have started to climb were sent down to the ground, except for Naily, who had fallen prior to the shock. X then says that the episode is a special episode because it is the fourth episode.

The fourth contest is to give Four a makeover. Teardrop used a marker to draw Four without limbs. X put Teardrop's drawing on a "Worst & best" hanger, where the left side is the worst, and the right side is the best. Golf Ball tries to command the team again, but they all follow 8-Ball. Pen goes toward Black Hole, but Tree stops him and explains to Pen that he is always asking Black Hole to do the whole challenge for their team. He used a book to find out the solution and asks Black Hole if he could draw, in which he responds with a no. Liy is surrounded by forks because of the "fork repellent" the repellent is actually some sort of magnet, and the forks hurl toward Death P.A.C.T., with Gelatin saying that he isn't throwing them. Before the forks hit Four, Death P.A.C.T. members block the forks using their bodies as a meat shield. Although a fork almost hit Four, Woody snatches it and uses it as the fork for his cake. Four asks how BEEP made the cake. A flashback happens to where BEEP uses Rocky's cake flavour vomit to make the cake, and when it was done, Nickel added sprinkles to the cake. Four ate it and as a side effect, Four appeaes to be distorted until Bell rings and the distortion is gone.

Eraser comes up to Four and asks him to look at their makeover, but Eraser steps in a squishy substance (probably cake) and appears to be surprised. Marker then proceeds to show what their team did. Free Food made "the year's hottest look". Four, loved it, causing him to shoot out hearts. A heart slammed into Eraser and he got flung far away. Barf Bag tells four to look at their creation, a model of four made by "random trash that we found lying around", but looking closer it appears to be Bracelety's art and other things supporting Ice Cube. Four says that "It's crafty and good".

The scene switches over to team Death P.A.C.T. where Pen asks his team what they should do to block the endless amount of forks, and that if one of them leaves, there wouldn't be enough to block all of them. Bottle is afraid that Four is going to fry them, a reference to how Gelatin died in BFB 3. Tree promptly has an idea, which is using Black Hole to suck up the forks. The team calls for Black Hole, but he doesn't respond, with Remote saying that black holes aren't known for their sense of hearing. Bottle is afraid that they're doomed, but Pillow interrupts and says to go to Black Hole and ask him. Team members of Death P.A.C.T. try to get Pillow to send only one member to get Black Hole, but she refuses. While they are running to go get Black Hole, a brief scene with iance is shown, and X asks Four if he likes roleplaying, in which he responds with saying no.

When Death P.A.C.T gets close to Black Hole, Golf Ball says that they are getting close to running out of time, and Tennis Ball replies saying that they are "Just following orders". The scene switches to Pen and Bottle asking Black Hole if he can suck up the forks, and he promptly goes to suck them up. After that, Golf Ball gets paper and markers. Grassy grabs an orange marker, and then Golf Ball and 8 Ball start arguing on which direction Grassy should go in.

After another scene switch, Black Hole tells Pillow to "Hang in there" where a fork misses Pillow, and flies over Four's head. The timer shows to be at 00:02, and Golf Ball grabs the marker from Grassy and then starts to draw, with her team members trying to pull her away. The fork that flew over Four shows up for about a second, then goes to a shot of Pen drawing something on a sheet of paper, then saying "Done!", but then the fork hits the drawing, and the drawing goes airborne. A shot of Black Hole pulling in the forks appears for a moment, and then Liy mentions Bell's string, which Bottle climbed on, and then caught the drawing inside of herself. The clock shows to be at 00:01, and Four looks at Death P.A.C.T.'s drawing, through Bottle. Four is not sure what to think of it, and Pen says that it's the best, and asks the recommended characters from Patreon to agree, but then they start booing him, and X says that it's the worst.

Four takes the drawing from Golf Ball and says that if it's better than Death P.A.C.T. then they'll be safe, but Remote interrupts and says that if it isn't then they'll be up for elimination. The scene shows Four thinking about it, and then says that A Better Name Than That is safe. X says that Death P.A.C.T. will be up for elimination, and one will go. He also says that it isn't really a death pact if only one person goes, but Pen says that it's an acronym.

The scene goes over to The Losers with Eggy saying that it was better then their makeover, and X appears to be inside of it, and asks for help, but then Loser says that it's okay, and that he doesn't like papier-mâché anyway, and then it shows unknown people kicking what appears to be a papier-mâché model of Loser. After that, it switches back to Golf Ball again, saying that they almost lost, with 8 Ball saying the opposite, but then saying that they almost lost because of him. He says that he thought he was helping, and was speaking in a sarcastic tone to add humor. Soon after, Basketball and Blocky talk to each other about "Hearing someone that disrespects people". Tennis Ball says that he doesn't want to disrespect Grassy, with Robot Flower saying that 8 Ball himself said something, but she got cut off by TV asking her why she's talking.

After that, the voting screen shows up with the members of Death P.A.C.T., and after that, Teardrop is shown, but Eggy joins her, and tells her the story of when she didn't talk. The episode ends.
