The episode begins in the bus, with X struggling to recover someone and Four and Leafy watching.

Grr! Grr! Mm! Mm!

Nothing can go wrong, X, you got this!

Grr!

X recovers Purple Face but he's distorted.

Oh Look! I'm da-ba-ba-back to normal! So what do you guys think? Do I look perfect? Perfect?

Okay, about what I said about nothing possibly going wrong-

I got ya!

X snaps the distorted Purple Face out of existence.

Bye for now, Purply Boy.

Nice try, little buddy! Recovering isn't an easy thing to learn overnight.

Can you please just respawn the co-co-host?

I told you, if you want the purple one back, you have to do it yourself!

You know, Four and X being so willy-nilly silly with their new co-co-host is making me nervous.

Really? How so?

Well, I have this really faint memory that long ago, someone really powerful hated the idea of competitions having three hosts.

What? That's crazy. I think you're making that up.

No! For real, apparently too many hosts is a sign that the structure of a competition is falling apart.

I mean, girl's got a point! We've been relocating a lot lately, and there was that whole Profily fiasco.

Woah, that's true. But still, "someone powerful"? Flower, that sounds silly.

A piece of paper falls through the bus roof and hits Gelatin in the face. Gelatin inspects it.

It's a message!

What does it say?

"Come outside". That's not scary at all.

Weird. So the roof breaks just like that, and whoever left the letter clearly dropped it through the roof, but they want us to meet them outside? What is going on?

Ooh! Maybe someone wanted to make a grand entrance?

The only one around here who is allowed to make a grand entrance is me! Hello? (steps outside) Who's out there? Also, I have no respect for this forced grand entrance act you're trying to pull off. One, because I'm jealous you came up with the idea first, and two, I'll think of a second point later. So come on out, but rest assured, regardless of who it is, I will not have any sort of reaction.

Hey guys, I'm back.

whuaiuaeiaueau????

The intro plays.

Leafy, hello!

Box man! Where have you been, my friend?

We can talk about that later. I want to know what happened to my show.

I took over it in your absence, and I might say, I've done an amazing job.

Well, you might say that, but you'd be wrong.

Oh yeah? Name one thing we did badly.

Okay, X. You quit hosting for a round. 40 contestants quit the game. There is a purple nuisance that you can't get rid of. People keep interfering with the show. You even let one of them join the game. You've lost all control.

I asked for only one thing, so technically, we came out on top there.

Whatever. Good thing I'm back now. So, final four, it's time for Cake at Stake.

Excuse me? What do you think is happening here?

Shush. Sheesh. Anyway, final four-

Get out of here!

Be careful.

This is my show now!

Four throws the Announcer offscreen.

Hey, Four, cut it out!

The Announcer gets slingshotted back to Four and Leafy.

Ouch. Don't do that again.

Be careful with him! He's fragile! I would know; I've bitten him before. Wanna see?

Please don't do it.

Okay X, I need ideas, and I need them quickly!

Um... okay, how about a big building, like, a hotel but for food so we have-

Not a random idea! I need an idea for the Announcer stuff going on!

There's Announcer stuff going on? Whoops! I should pay attention more.

He's taking his show back! If he takes it, that's 3 years of work down the drain!

Okay, Four, I think I have a sneaky idea up my sleeve. Heh! I think it's flawless.

X walks up to the Announcer.

Hey Announcer, go away now, dork! Sorry for calling you a dork. I'm just trying to sound forceful.

No. I'm staying.

OK, Four, I didn't want to have to resort to this but I have one final idea!

And what's that?

Panic.

X panics and runs in circles around four.

THIS ISN'T HELPING! NOT HELPING!!

Okay, wait. How about this?

X recovers Purple Face.

Wow, X, you did it! Amazing work! Okay purply dude, get rid of the Announcer thing! Do your worst!

I've got the winning formula right here! I'll get rid of the Announcer with a simple freestyle rap. Drop a beat, Gelatin!

*beatboxes*

Yo, I'm Purple Face, and I'm here to say-

Goodbye.

The Sender Scoop Thrower launches Purple Face away.

Woah, where'd you send him?

IDK.

Oh. Is that some like, box somewhere that you named after an acronym?

No. I just don't know where he went.

Oop. Okay.

See how easy it was to get rid of the purple thing, Four?

Trust me, he'll be back. But look, it doesn't matter. These guys have grown attached to me! You-

Cut to the contestants clamoring over the Announcer.

Actually, I guess they haven't.

Four, are you okay?

Announcer was right. We've lost all control.

Four, it'll be OK.

BUT, in the end, this show is mine! So it's time for you to leave. You can't make this show without me!

Wanna bet?

Just watch this! I'll be a constant presence! You'll never get rid of me!

*maniacal laugh* I'll be here forever!

Four sinks into the sand and liquidates. The sand turns blue, and a cactus turns into the shape of Four.

Ooh! What's this, blue dirt? (picks up sand and eats it and dramatic things happen) Guys, don't eat the dirt! *cough* It's not worth it.

Four? What just happened? FOUR!!!!!

What happened is, I swallowed blue dirt, and…*Stomach growls* It wasn't good.

When I asked "what happened", I was referring to my friend sinking into the earth, not your weird dirt-eating thing you did... I'm angry!

Well, final four, it's time for Cake at Stake. But also, since I missed most of this season, I want to introduce a new twist: we're bringing teams back.

Everyone *gasp*

You'll all be one team of four, fighting for individual immunity.

W-w-wait. What's the point of that?

Because I want to feel included in this season. This decision is all mine.

That's weird, but I dig it! Since we're all part of the alliance Lollipop founded, we should pay tribute to her! Let's call our team the "Newbie Alliance"!

Very good, Newbie Alliance. But before one of you is eliminated, I would like to show Purple Face how a real host performs a theme song. Hit it.

A rap beat begins to play.

(rapping) Welcome, everybody to Cake at Stake. After this ceremony, this alliance will break. But you're not to worry, as the rest of you will be in the finals, and that will mean the game will be in the finals.

Wait, did you just rhyme 'finals' with 'finals'?

Today's cake is a gold medal. You'll get a gold medal if you are safe. Teardrop won immunity last round, so she gets a gold medal. Fling.

Teardrop catches the gold medal.

Hi-five, Teardrop!

Leafy and Teardrop hi-five.

Gelatin is safe with 19,293 votes. Here's your gold medal.

Thank you, Speakery! Wait, why is my gold medal cut in half?

I only had two gold medals, so I had to make do. Now it's down to Flower and Leafy. Oh! Deja vu.

Oh my gosh, Flower! How could this happen to us?

I better not get out at the final 4 again! I'm not against biting you again, Speakery!

Eep! Well, good for me, because Flower is safe with 14,462 votes. Leafy is eliminated with 12,113 votes.

NO! Not again! Oh gosh, I don't wanna go in that scary BRB thing!

Lucky for you, you won't have to, as we're going to need the eliminated contestants to help for the final challenge.

The Announcer walks up to X.

Hello, you.

*sigh* What do you want?

The contestants in the BRB. Can you snap them back here for me?

*sigh* Okay. (snaps)

Thank you, X. Pat, pat.

The contestants in the BRB are teleported to the desert.

Huh? What's this gray box thing? Where's Four?

Oh my spark! The speaker box is back?

Hello, Announcery fo-founcery!

Hello, Profily. So Leafy, you'll be joining the other eliminated contestants in their role in helping with the final challenge.

Aw, shucks! You got eliminated, Leafy? I'm so sorry to hear that!

Thanks Firey! I'm sure it'll be okay!

So, uh, what is the final challenge, box-ter?

Well, considering this is the final challenge of BFB, it's a combination of all the previous contests. The first person to complete all the contests in order wins immunity. If you die you have to start all over again. X, can you handle the recovery?

Hmm...

Please?

Since you asked so nicely!

Okay. Luckily you, and Four barely used up the budget this season, so we have enough money to pay for props from throughout the whole season.

The Announcer types on the laptop in front of him.

Okay guys, it's all purchased and ready. Go!

The contestants come across X and a pile of baskets. Gelatin takes one from the pile.

Here you go!

Hooray!

Same here!

Hooray!

Teardrop runs by as she gives X a basket.

Woah! Be gentle, but also, thank you!

Flower begins licking one of the jawbreakers in challenge 2.

Hey, who's inside here, anyway?

It's Firey.

Firey? My friend? I'm coming, buddy!

Flower licks the jawbreaker at an incredible speed. Cut to Teardrop, smashing a jawbreaker open with a basket. Leafy emerges.

Oh! Why, hello!

Oh! I remember Saw saying Dora smashed her head against the jawbreaker.

Gelatin repeatedly smashes his head against the jawbreaker.

Ah! Bad idea! (dies)

Cut to Teardrop running past Flower.

Wait a second! Teardrop, what about our alliance?

Teardrop continues running, looking back at Flower with a wide smile.

Grr! (continues licking)

X recovers Gelatin.

Go get a basket.

Gelatin does as told.

Here!

Thanks!

Cut to Teardrop at challenge 3. She pushes the swing back and manages to complete a rotation. Teardrop proceeds to challenge 4, and then goes offscreeen, returning with a sack. She reaches into it. Cut to Gelatin.

You know what? I'm just gonna do what Teardrop did. Sorry about the basket, X!

Gelatin throws the basket at a jawbreaker, freeing Bubble.

YOYLECAKE!

Gelatin runs past Flower.

Wait! Slow down! (continues licking jawbreaker)

Aw, dangit! My team never figured this one out!

Teardrop crafts a Four plush. She places it on the submission table and is allowed to proceed to challenge 5. Cut to Flower, who finally frees Firey after licking the jawbreaker.

Finally!

Hmm. How do I do this?

Gelatin! Push my swing, and help me complete the challenge, and then I'll do the same for you!

Fine!

Cut to Teardrop already completing challenge 5.

How do we depict Four properly?

There's already a plush here. I'm just gonna pick it up and place it back down.

The submission table dings, indicating that Flower may continue to challenge 5.

Yo! It worked.

*laughs* I'm gonna cheat as well!

Cut to challenge 6.

For this challenge, you just have to take the twinkle from me, and then give it back to me.

Teardrop gets the twinkle.

Now, I was instructed to make this hard for you, but I want the twinkle back. So give it back, buddy!

Ruby gets the twinkle.

Yay! I'm all twinkly again! Go on to the next challenge!

Why am I in here again?

Teardrop throws the Liar Ball in the pit.

It's cold, and lonely!

Welcome to the quiz. What is my favorite way to experience nature?

Teardrop shudders.

That is correct. Incomplete silence was the answer. You may continue.

Teardrop quickly completes challenge 9 by shooting a basketball into the hoop.

What is my favorite number?

It's 5! (runs to next challenge)

Hello, Gelatin. What is my favorite number?

It's 5!

Nope.

What?!

My mind is constantly changing. Right now, I have a fascination with the number 362.

Uh-OK, 362 then?

Nope. I have a fascination about that number, but it- ha-ha- certainly is not my favorite.

Sigh. Okay, I'll just start from the beginning. Is it 1?

No.

2?

No.

Cut to Teardrop at challenge 10. She brings the Four plush from challenge 4 over, then proceeds to challenge 11, with Flower not far behind.

Ooh, the stairs contest! And Teardrop's just up there! I'm still in this!

Teardrop presses the button at the top of the stairs, then begins to head back down. Flower intercepts her.

Ha! Yes! I knew I'd catch up here! TD, your lead in this challenge is o-

Flower is pushed off the stairs by Teardrop and falls to her death. She is recovered by X at the beginning.

Go get a basket.

Oh my gardener! Fine.

...102?

No.

Cut to Teardrop at challenge 12.

Uh, guess which one is really me, I guess.

(points at Balloony)

Yeah, it's pretty impossible to mess this one up. Go on through, Teardrop!

Teardrop takes an emerald from underground (13-14) and jumps over a lava pit (15). Cut back to Gelatin.

...2,356?

Nope.

*panting* Finally! I'm back here!

Guess my favorite number, Flower. Hint: it has changed.

Uh, I don't know. 2,357?

Yes. That is correct. You may continue.

Finally! It's 2,357, then.

It has changed once again.

AUGH!

Cut to Teardrop at challenge 16.

For this challenge, you need to prove you won't quit our show.

(shakes head)

You want to leave our show? Even after what happened to Four today?

(flutters arms)

And now you don't even care?

X shoots lasers out of his eyes, then recovers Teardrop at the beginning.

Go get a basket.

(facepalm)

...4,632?

Still no.

Can I please have a new question?

OK. Am I gray?

Ah- uh, yes?

Very good. You may now continue on.

ARE YOU KIDDING ME?! But also thank you. Bye!

For this challenge, you need to prove you won't quit our show.

Okay. I won't quit.

Okay! On you go!

Flower runs to challenge 17 ("Bring back X").

Uh, but X is right back there!

Flower drags X over, then runs off.

Hooray!

Cut to Flower completing challenge 18, then to Gelatin at challenge 12.

Just guess which one of us is actually me. Really difficult, I know.

Gelatin points at Blocky.

Gelatin, I'd like to sit down with you for a good lunch and ask you how you could POSSIBLY THINK THAT WAS THE CORRECT ANSWER!

Cut to Flower completing challenge 19, then to Teardrop at challenge 16.

For this challenge, you need to prove you won't quit our show.

(shakes head)

How dare you!

X teleports to challenge 20 and sets himself on fire.

Help! I'm burning! The audience really didn't like this last time!

Flower pours a bucket of water on X.

Yay, I'm saved! Okay, now I need to get back on fire for the others again! (snaps) Aah! I'm back on fire again! Why'd I do this; it's very painful!

Flower moves on to challenge 21. She pulls a Bomby plush from offscreen.

Hey Woody, here's a plushie! You a fan of these?

Yeah! Thank you!

Cut to challenge 22.

Hope no one takes this bag from me!

Ha! I'll be taking that.

Help! Somebody took my bag! Do you know who it was, Flower?

That was clearly Lollipop.

Wow! Congratulations, Flower, or should I say, Detective Flower! If anything else ever goes missing, I'll put you right on the case! Keep going!

Ha-ha! (notices challenge 23's sign ("Free Four from jail")) Bit hard to do when he's gone.

Oh, don't worry! I, Purple Bro, have taken his place!

I don't care about that. How do I get you out of there?

Tee-hee! It's a secret!

Wuh! I didn't see how this was done the first time! This is unfair!

Oh, I remember this one! This is easy!

My gosh, you caught up awfully quick.

That's why they call me Speedy Gelatin. Well, they don't, but, d-I'm holding out hope it catches on.

Gelatin bends some of the cardboard tubes on the cage.

I win! Onto the next challenge! Whee-hee! (notices challenge 24's sign ("Throw a party for the host")) Eh, whatever.

Gelatin throws some sand onto the floor.

There. Good enough.

Wha- that's not a party, come on!

Teardrop also throws some sand onto the floor.

Hu- oh my gosh, you too, TD?

Gotta find a totem, TD. There's a cave right here; let's go!

Gelatin and Teardrop enter the cave.

There! I threw an actual party for the Announcer! Let's go! Ooh, the totem challenge again, huh? Well, last time, I just found a rock, and that got me the win, so I guess that's fine for me to do here, too!

Oh great! There's tons of totems, Teadster! Let's skedaddle outta here!

Gelatin notices that Flower left a rock at the challenge's sign.

Gosh dangit, Flower did the rock trick again! We're so stupid!

Welcome! For this challenge, you need to eliminate Profily.

Um, Loser, I thought I already knocked you into a goal. Whatever, doesn't matter. Profily, you are eliminated!

Oh jeez! Could this day get any worse?

Wow! You eliminated them, I guess. Go win the challenge, Flower! The oven is right ahead.

Gelatin and Teardrop arrive.

Hello, the both of you! For the challenge-

Teardrop throws Profily.

AH! This day can get worse, it did! Somebody help me!

Well I guess that works too. Okay! You guys are good to head to the oven! Good luck!

So I believe this challenge has been simplified from last round. All you have t-

All you have to do is climb up the ladders over here, and climb straight out the top of the oven.

I was preparing that speech all day.

Yep! And I stole it!

Are those ladders secured into the ground? They don't look that safe.

I don't care. That's why they call me Danger Gelatin!

Wasn't it 'Speedy Gelatin'?

Teardrop runs to the ladders.

TD! Come back here!

The contestants climb the ladders in a neck and neck race.

TD, as actual members of the alliance, let's knock Flower off this ladder! One of us has to win!

Teardrop pulls one of Flower's petals.

Ow! TD, stop! You've already betrayed me in this oven before! Leave me alone!

Flower's ladder begins to tilt.

Huh? I'm losing control! Watch out, guys!

Gelatin and Teardrop's ladders fall due to Flower's ladder bumping into them.

Oh my petal! Bye, guys!

Flower gets to the top of the ladder and exits the oven.

Oh my gosh, I've done it!

Congratulations, Flower, you win...

I won BFB? Oh my gardener!

...Immunity into the final two.

What?! I thought it was a final 3 again, and that it was a challenge this time.

Well, you thought wrong. Gelatin and Teardrop are up for elimination. You'll each get one moment to tell the viewers why you should stay in the game. Teardrop, you first.

(flutters arms)

Thank you. Now your turn, Gelatin.

Alright, so I think-

Thank you.

What?

I told you that you would get one moment. You used it all up. So viewers, voters, haters, trolls and flamers,

Post-credits scene.

Boop. x5

Talking box, are you still buying random crud with the show's budget?

We have so much money; it doesn't matter. Here, watch this! Boop.

Oh wow! Some random investor just gave my fashion line $50,000! I should be able to open an actual store with this money!

OK, you're just being reckless with the budget now.

Oh, be quiet!

I'm not letting you do this, boxer! I'm telling X right no-

The Announcer obliterates Taco with the Emergency Button.

That should take care of that.

Four? Hello? Are you coming back soon? Four? Fooour?

A piano version of the intro plays and The episode ends.
