Enter the Exit

So that means we NEED to get Four back!

Enter the Exit is the 10th episode of Battle for BFDI, and the 41st episode overall of the Battle for Dream Island series. It was released on April 28, 2018.

Cold open
Cloudy is sad, and X asks why. Cloudy states that he misses Balloony, and if he was alive, then their team would've won the last episode. X interrupts, and says that he doesn't know how to recover people. X says that it's time for Cake at Stake, and everything is planned. He then trips over, and then whispers to Cloudy that he's safe.

Cake at Stake
X quickly tells who is safe: Cloudy, Nickel, Woody, and Balloony made by Pin. Despite the fast-speed, no one on BEEP appears to be enthused. X goes on anyway, and announces that David is eliminated, who then makes an attempt to run away. X is then seen chasing David while the recommended characters look. X corners David near a cliff.

Post-Cake at Stake
Match walks over to Bubble, but Bubble is not interested in her. She is then popped by a thrown piece of the cake. Match states that she needs her back, but Fanny does not believe her. This prompts a mini argument between Fanny and Match, until Cloudy states that X is incapable of recovering contestants.

Four's return
X tries to give the contest, but nobody can hear X over all the arguing. X repeats himself, before being interrupted by Clock yelling to bring back Four. The contestants try to bring Four back in many different ways. Teardrop tried drawing Four, Marker tried playing Four, Blocky used Needle, Pen and Match to shape a Four, Pie tried making X into a Four, Gelatin tried shaping a fork into a Four, and Bottle whacked Golf Ball with a golf club, and yelling "FORE!". Pillow then licked Lollipop. Firey eventually uses a syringe to extract a liquidated Four out of Donut. Pin is encouraged to squirt liquid Four into the shape of Four because she had skill in making cake (as proven by the cake she made for cake at stake). She does it, and the liquidated Four transforms into regular Four. Four thanks Pin by giving her a Gratitude Token for recovering them. With this, Clock informs Four of all the dead and eliminated contestants to be recovered and taken away, to which Four does so. Four finds Roboty in the same place he was in BFB 2 and BFB 6 and stretches to space to retrieve Loser from BFB 7. Four also retrieves David, who was trying to run away, then Stapy and 8-Ball, after recovering him.

Eternal Algebra Class with Four
Roboty, Stapy, David, 8-Ball and Loser are next to the door to Eternal Algebra Class with Four. Stapy then tries to open it by reaching for the doorknob, which cues the normal intro to play. Inside, Pencil, Liy, and Leafy talk about whether Four is returning and what they will have to do when Four comes back. The other five eliminated contestants decide to go into the classroom. Liy is surprised at the sight of it not being Four, and Pencil screams in disgust of them being all male. 8-Ball explains what happened to Loser and how he fell from popularity. Four comes back while Pencil still asks how boys came into the classroom, being told by Leafy about this, and replying that where they come from gender does not exist. Four then announces that one of them will be rejoining Battle for BFDI, and each one tries convincing the voters to vote them. Four is interacting with these contestants with their mind while being completely still and unresponsive in the real world.

Stinger
Taco walks up to Bell, and tries to have a conversation with her. Bell thinks it is a trick and ignores her. Taco then says that she is trying to have a normal conversation with her, but Bell says she isn’t sorry, with Taco replying that she’d think she would know that by now. Bell then tells Taco she set a reputation for herself, but before Taco could argue, Bell says she doesn’t trust her anymore while Lollipop watches them.

Goofs

 * In the "Battle for Nothing" intro, Barf Bag is significantly larger than she actually is, being taller than the likes of Spongy and Basketball. This is similar to how Pin had angry eyebrows in the "Battle for Nothing" intro in BFDIA even though she doesn't in the normal intro.
 * While the contestants are going crazy over the disappearance of Four, Cake’s face is on the wrong side of his body.
 * At the end, Taco's legs are not connected to her body.
 * Bubble's limbs are grey at 1:37.
 * Leafy's arms are misplaced at 8:07.

Continuity references

 * Yellow Face's belief that they were battling for nothing, along with the modified "Battle for Nothing" intro, is a reference to Yellow Face's same line back in Zeeky Boogy Doog.
 * The modified intro had become more accurate, such as Saw not having her handle in the intro, Tree inside Bottle, and more.
 * The eliminated and dead characters also were not present.
 * Pin still had her two Win Tokens from the first season.
 * Pin made the cake for Cake at Stake, and was called talented. This is a reference to Pin winning the cake baking challenge in Sweet Tooth.
 * Clock saying “watchers are wannabes” is a reference to "The Reveal" when he said “Watches are wannabes”.
 * Eraser saying “here’s the footage” is a reference to what Match did in "Questions Answered".
 * However, this made Foldy realize that Match was the reason Stapy, her best friend, was eliminated.
 * Four humming ("Do-da-da-da-do-do-do") from X Finds Out His Value is heard in this episode. This is the second time Four says this, the first being in BFB 3.
 * Pencil's rejoining audition is a variation of her usual "So we can win the contest" chant, which she sang in "Barriers and Pitfalls", "Reveal Novum", "Gardening Hero", and "The Long-lost Yoyle City".
 * When Bottle hits Golf Ball with a club, an audible "Hey" from Cloudy and a window breaking can be heard which is a reference to This Episode Is About Basketball and Getting Teardrop To Talk where Coiny and Snowball broke Cloudy's window.
 * Several characters retain changes to their appearance.
 * All BEEP members that are still in the game are still orange, besides Balloony (due to his recovery).
 * Cloudy still has tape on him from Fortunate Ben.
 * Bomby is still half exploded from "Why Would You Do This on a Swingset".
 * Tree is still stuck inside of Bottle from "The Liar Ball You Don't Want".
 * Loser is still stuck inside the jawbreaker in space with Donut's diary from The Liar Ball You Don't Want.
 * Woody still has his dent.
 * Saw is still without her handle.
 * When Naily was recovered, Bomby said "Oh my gosh, Naily!" just like he did in Getting Teardrop to Talk.
 * When Teardrop drew Four multiple times trying to recover him, it was a reference to BFB 4, where she drew a similar drawing as an entry for the contest.
 * Gelatin trying to make a Four-shaped fork to recover him is a reference to how much he used to play with forks before BFB 4.
 * When the contestants are arguing about how to bring back Four, the same sound heard when Coiny, Ice Cube, and Leafy were riding in their boat from BFDI 1b is heard.
 * The scream used when Golf Ball was hit by Bottle was the same one used when Snowball hit her in Take the Plunge: Part 2.
 * When Loser said, "Why do I have filling but also a hole?", he was presumably reading a diary entry written by Donut, since Donut has cherry filling but also a hole, which is uncommon with regular donuts.
 * The pink voting paper in the end-screen is a reference to the pink voting paper in Cycle of Life.
 * Leafy's project is the points for a graph of the path she takes when she dodges the Nails/Spitballs.
 * In the middle of the pink piece of paper that was used in the voting screen uses a reference from Today's Very Special Episode, when Four shot hearts out of his eyes and one of them sent Eraser flying off the horizon. The line was: "In fact, one time I loved so much, I smacked Eraser in the face and he went flying away, never to be seen again."

 * This also confirms that no one died in BFB 4.
 * The following characters do not appear: Saw, Flower, Lightning, Spongy and Barf Bag.
 * The Battle for Nothing BFB Intro didn't include dead contestants, eliminated contestants, and Four.
 * However, this intro includes permanent changes such as Tree and Bottle.
 * The "Vote to Rejoin!" paper on the voting screen is from Cycle of Life.
 * This is the fifth time in a row a male contestant is eliminated since all of the remaining members in are male, (Leafy and Roboty were eliminated in earlier episodes).

 * This is the third time such has happened overall.
 * This is the first time a contestant's votes went down from the previous time being up for elimination in BFB, being Woody.

 * Excluding the joke Satomi vote option found in the Flash files of "Today's Very Special Episode", this is the first time where [I] is a voting option.
 * In a similar vein, this is the first episode since Getting Teardrop to Talk to have a unique voting screen.
 * This is the third time the voting screen is different.
 * The first being Getting Teardrop to Talk and the second was This Episode Is About Basketball, where the difference was it filled up the gap.
 * Several characters' voices were noticeably much higher pitched, such as Needle, Pillow, Match, and Lollipop.
 * Four teaching eliminated characters in Eternal Algebra Class explains why Four often freezes, staring blankly into space.
