"Entree over! Now, on to the main course."
The episode starts with Firey and Leafy building a shelter on an island they call Dreamier Island. Then, Firey taps Leafy on the shoulder and they look at an incoming storm in the distance. The duo hide inside a wooden shelter as the storm begins to pick up. Then, the scene cuts to after the storm, where Firey emerges from the shelter, now broken, and calls out to Leafy, to no avail. One appears watching from the distance, with a smug look. The scene then cuts to One's dimension, where she stares at a miniature version of the hotel, and begins sending the storm after it. Basketball starts yelling at One questioning what she wants from her while trying to get out of the chair. One replies with what Basketball wants for her problems to go away.
She then summons a mini figure of Robot Flower on the table near the chair that Basketball is sitting on, offering her a deal to fix Robot Flower. Basketball claims that she does not know who One is, and One shows a TV of Basketball in the previous episode. One slides to miniature version of the hotel and looks at it again. The scene cuts to Pen and Needle putting missing posters of Basketball, Bomby and Bell outside of Gelatin's Steakhouse. Golf Ball from the window of the hotel warns Pen and Needle that the storm is picking up and that they need to go inside of the Hotel. After Pen and Needle go inside of the hotel Donut and Barf Bag are seen blocking the door from the hotel. Barf Bag then asks Tennis Ball where Two is, and Tennis Ball answers that Two is upstairs with the exitors for the- then it cuts to Two saying cake at stake.
EXITor's Cake at Stake[]
Two and the EXITors are on the roof, where Two reveals that the prize is a master key to the hotel. However, it gets blown away by the wind. Two changes their mind about being on the roof after lightning strikes close to them and lets Four do the Cake at Stake this time, since the exitors have dealt with him before. Four then threatens the EXITors that those that are not safe are ready to experience the storm. 8-Ball, Match and Roboty are the first three not joining, receiving 3,609, 4,888, and 4,927 votes respectively. Four cuts the ropes tying them onto the hotel and they are blown away by the storm.
Two and Four looking at each other.
Next, David and Stapy don't join either, with 8,415 and 8,740 votes respectively, and they both say "Aw Seriously!?" as they fly off into the storm. Four congratulates the top 5. Firey Jr mentions that it's "rightfully so," right before Four informs him that he is not in the top 4 and cuts off his rope, receiving 9,983 votes. He yells at the viewers to "grow a brain". Dora also doesn't rejoin as she got only 10,892 votes, and lightning strikes her rope and she flies away into the storm. The storm picks up and the ropes cut off, causing the three remaining contestants fly away before Two's hand comes out of the elevator's door and grabs Pencil, Bracelety and Liy and brings them into the hotel.
Inside, Four then teleports to Two angrily saying he had the cake at stake under control. In the background, One appears behind the white board and sneakily changes "one contestant" into "two contestants" on the white board. Two notices the change and is confused, but X appears from below Bracelety and claims that it makes sense since they are named Two. Two then admits that it is the type of thing they would come up with and decides to let it slide. Bracelety gets excited and asks Two which one of them won't be joining. Two and Four then slowly look at each other, and the scene immediately cuts to Bracelety getting thrown out of the hotel, as she is revealed to have gotten the least votes out of the three, with only 18,740 votes. Pencil and Liy both join TPOT, with the former having 20,336 votes, and the latter having 25,250 votes.
Team Selection[]
Two tells Liy and Pencil to pick a team. Liy looks at Death P.A.C.T. Yet Again, says they don't deserve her (due to her elimination in BFB 5 while being on Death P.A.C.T.). She instead decides to join "the team with the notes". Golf Ball gets angry about Pencil and Liy joining the game, saying that it is completely unfair. Pencil casually walks up to Golf Ball and pushes her down the stairs during her rant.
Two tells Pencil that since Death P.A.C.T Yet Again and 
both have seven members, she must choose between Team 2 and CloudYAY. Pencil looks at Team 2 and asks if the "2" refers to them. As soon as they confirm this, she immediately picks CloudYAY just to spite Two. Two asks if she's sure, and Pencil confirms before walking away, causing Two to start crying before the scene abruptly cuts.
CloudYAY in a nutshell
Downstairs, Two redirects Liy to her new team, where she is greeted by TV. Liy comments to Pen that it's been a while since they last saw each other. Meanwhile, Pencil spots Book and Ice Cube with their team and eagerly approaches them. She is excited to see them again, but Book and Ice Cube are reluctant to interact. Just as Pencil is about to ask if Ruby is there too, Two quickly interrupts, redirecting Pencil back to her chosen team, CloudYAY. Seeing the chaos, Pencil sarcastically remarks that that's great while Golf Ball angrily stares at her. Afterward, Two reviews the current team lineups before moving on to the Cake at Stake segment.
& CloudYAY's Cake at Stake[]
Two announces that today's Cake at Stake will be based on the wind lottery, meaning that those declared safe will get to keep whatever flies through the door. Since the teams tied, Two randomly selects CloudYAY to go first. Golf Ball is the first to be announced safe with a record-breaking 39,338 votes. As Two opens the door, a sheet of paper flies in and lands on Golf Ball's face—it’s a missing poster for Basketball. Puzzled, Golf Ball turns to Tennis Ball and asks if he’s noticed anything strange lately. Tennis Ball admits that while he hasn’t found Basketball, Bomby or Bell, he has observed some unusual activity slowly approaching the hotel.
Winner and Pillow are revealed to be the next safe, with 24,608 and 14,878 votes respectively. They open the door, and the logo for Gelatin's Steakhouse flies through the door. Donut is also safe with 13,123 votes, and the key from earlier flies towards him. Liy catches it and opts to keep it for herself. The bottom two are Yellow Face and Barf Bag. Golf Ball urges Yellow Face to be safe, due to his loyalty last episode, and Donut tells Barf Bag that she can't go. However, Barf Bag is eliminated anyways with 11,048 votes, as opposed to Yellow Face's 12,787. Two opens the door, and GB and YF are then hit by a couch, knocking them unconscious. Barf Bag apologizes to Donut, and Two allows them to use the couch to say their goodbyes.
Next, Two moves on to . Tennis Ball and Pen are the first declared safe, with 30,124 and 19,780 votes, respectively. Tennis Ball gives Golf Ball a high five, while Pen high fives Needle. When Two opens the door, the Recovery Center flies in and hits them. Two is about to announce Basketball as the next safe contestant with 19,346 votes, but she is nowhere to be found. Suddenly, when the door opens again, a chainsaw flies in and slices the couch that Donut and Barf Bag are sitting on. Barf Bag accidentally spills her barf over Donut, then casually tells him he can keep it as a memento of her. Winner, unfazed, wipes the barf off Donut and suggests that maybe he shouldn't keep it after all. Two announces that TV is the next safe contestant with 19,155 votes. As Two opens the door, TV plays a video of Flower dancing in "The Tweested Temple". Suddenly, Roboty flies in, hits TV, and expresses happiness at being "safe," but before Roboty can say much more, the scene shifts back to Two. They then reveal that the bottom two are Bottle and Needle, but Two quickly corrects this to say "Bottle Two" before getting inside Bottle. Pen is concerned about Needle potentially being eliminated, while Eraser grins, hoping Bottle will be the one to go.
Two ultimately announces that Needle is eliminated with 13,172 votes, while Bottle survives with 14,205 votes, much to Eraser's disappointment. Two breaks out of Bottle, causing her to shatter. Both Needle and Pen are visibly upset about the former's elimination. Liy steps in to comfort Pen, reassuring her that she will be there for him. Two opens the door, when suddenly the fish monster comes flying in. Tree tells Four that the storm was getting out of control, and Four agrees with this statement before he and X teleport themselves to the beach.
Before the contest[]
The contestants getting attack by a fish monster, while Needle mourns her elimination.
Back at the hotel, chaos erupts in the background as Needle mourns her elimination. However, Snowball remains unbothered about the fish monster as he believes that it is no match for the strongest team. Together, he and the rest of his team carry the fish monster down several flights of stairs and throw it into the water. Two sighs in relief before turning to Needle and Barf Bag, only to realise that both of them have disappeared, just like Bomby and Bell had. Two is confused as to where they've gone, and speculates that they got lost in the storm. Tennis Ball says that his tracker isn't detecting Needle or Barf Bag, but Liy notices that the tracker has detected some unusual activity slowly approaching the hotel.
Pencil realizes that the unusual activity displayed on the tracker is actually a swarm of bugs rapidly approaching the hotel. Black Hole deduces that the bugs are seeking shelter, and Fanny suggests finding a way to get rid of them. Robot Flower begins stepping on the bugs while Pencil shuts the door to keep them out. Tennis Ball examines the tracker again and starts panning around. Golf Ball asks what’s wrong, and Tennis Ball spots a huge Davidian approaching the hotel, along with two dragons circling overhead.
Meanwhile, Team 2 notices a bunch of fish in the water. The chandelier begins to shake as the Davidian, dragons, and bugs all attempt to force their way into the hotel. Liy quickly retrieves Bottle just as Two announces the next challenge: protect the hotel. They are about to start the intro, but it fails to play at first. Gaty questions the delay, and as she speaks, the intro finally begins.
Contest[]
Two falls asleep with their bottle of milk.
Two takes all of the contestants up the stairs to their room on the third floor. They tell them that their task is to not let the Davidian, the dragons, the fishes and the bugs, inside of Two's room or disturb their rest. Pencil then questions if Two can sleep through the contest, and the scene shifts to Two fast asleep in their bed with a bottle of milk. Unfazed, Pencil approaches Two and slaps them awake to the beat of the background music. Two wakes up and tells her that they will be fine to sleep through the contest. Pillow grabs the milk out of Two's hand to drink it, and instantly falls asleep after drinking the milk until Pencil slaps her awake too. Two commands CloudYAY to protect the hotel from the dragons on the roof, Death P.A.C.T Yet Again to protect the ground floor from the bugs, Team 2 to protect the basement from the fish and to protect the hotel from the giant Davidian, which suddenly roars a distorted AW Seriously, which leads to everyone panicking on-screen (except Two and Pillow) as they are thrown around the room. After the situation dies down, Two then announces that the first 2 teams to have their creatures make their way into Two's room and/or wake them up from their slumber will be up for elimination.
All of the contestants make a dash towards Two's door for the contest, but Pencil gets there first. She pushes Pen, throws Fanny, trips Tennis Ball, and throws Snowball, along with Grassy, out of Two's room. Outside, Grassy suggests to Snowball that they should use the milk to make the fishes go to sleep. However, Pencil overhears Grassy's plan and locks the door to Two's room, so they have to kick down the door. In the process, Snowball accidentally makes a hole in Two's door. Snowball questions Pencil about why she locked the door, but she ignores him and leaves. She quickly approaches the rest of Team 2 and kicks Price Tag, Eraser, Ice Cube and Book down the stairs. Pencil snatches Book midair and asks Book for a cross team alliance. Ice Cube, seeing this, grabs Book and pulls her away from Pencil. As they leave, Price Tag calls her a newbie, leaving Pencil confused as to who Price Tag is.
Pencil goes up the stairs and then enters the elevator with the rest of CloudYAY, and they all head up to the rooftop. There, Golf Ball tries to explains her plan to the team, but Donut interrupts and asks if anyone else has any better ideas, causing an argument between the two. Having had enough, Pillow suddenly kicks Donut and Golf Ball out of the elevator with a smile on her face, locking them outside of the hotel. Then a dragon appears and shoots a fire breath at Golf Ball, causing her to lose her grip, while Donut slips off while trying to hold on to the door handle due to the winds.
"Annnnnd, the David will be dead!"
Meanwhile in Basketball's Aboveground Factory, Tennis Ball makes a presentation and plan about how to destroy the Davidian near the hotel while Pen and Bottle are eating popcorn. Tennis Ball mentions that the Davidians has a "disgusting layer of gross, squishy skin" when the Davidian outside overhears this and screeches. Pen intervenes about destroying the Davidian and suggests putting it to sleep. Tennis Ball agrees to do that until he sees Donut and Golf Ball suddenly flying in the storm. Pen asks what they can use to knock out the Davidian, when Liy comes up with an idea. She tells Pen and Bottle to follow her. As they leave, Tennis Ball looks at the Davidian through the window, who seems to be distracted by GB and Donut flying across the grasslands.
Snowball kicks the basement door opens as the team walks down the stairs. Book mentions to Ice Cube that it is weird that Pencil is back while they walk down the stairs. Ice Cube agrees to what Book mentioned, but appears hesitant to talk about her. Book wonders if Pencil has changed at all, but she suddenly slips on the floor. Snowball warns Book to watch where she is going. As they go to see what is going on under the basement sea, Ice Cube suddenly gets dragged down by the fish monster melting her in the water. Snowball then runs up back upstairs and recovers Ice Cube so he can throw her into the water. As Ice Cube gets thrown into the water the fish start to freeze underwater, and Snowball tells Price Tag and Book to keep holding them off.
Snowball goes back upstairs and recovers Ice Cube a second time before throwing her underwater again and then the scene gets cut off to the bugs surrounding the entrance of the hotel. Robot Flower makes a statement to the Death P.A.C.T. Yet Again members that if they crush the bugs, they will win the challenge. Fanny tells the team that the pact changed slightly, and Black Hole adds that if they can prevent death, they will, but they will need to prioritize what's best for everyone. Robot Flower grabs Tree and uses him to crush the bugs, betraying the pact on purpose. Robot Flower then uses Marker, slamming him against the window killing the bugs. Fanny tells Robot Flower to stop being difficult, but Robot Flower ignores her. She grabs Gaty and slams her on the bugs. Pin grabs Robot Flower from behind and tries to throws her outside, but Robot Flower grabs Pin and throws her, making her impale Snowball, who was carrying Ice Cube. This annoys Snowball and he tells Pin to stop spiking him, and Pin promises that it wasn't her fault this time.
Black Hole flings some bugs outside whilst telling Robot Flower to cut it out. However, Robot Flower refuses, and so Black Hole, Fanny, Tree, Marker, Gaty and Pin all surround Robot Flower. Meanwhile, Ice Cube slides down the stair railing and accidentally falls off the edge. At the same time, Book and Price Tag are locked in a fight with the fish monster, which attempts to eat them. However, Book keeps the monster's mouth open, preventing it from swallowing them. Just then, Ice Cube falls directly into the fish monster's mouth and begins choking. As the monster thrashes around, its fin tears open one of the pipes, causing water to flood out. The water level below starts rising rapidly, and Snowball, frustrated, immediately blames Ice Cube for the situation.
Elsewhere, Eraser and Grassy are swimming through the sewers, with a school of fish close behind. They stop to catch their breath when they notice a vent above them. Just as they do, the fish catch up and start biting them, causing Grassy to scream in pain. Eraser quickly tells Grassy to stay put, then dives underwater to knock out the attacking fish. However, more fish soon arrive, and one attempts to eat Eraser, but he narrowly dodges, causing the bigger fish to accidentally devour another fish instead. Meanwhile, Grassy struggles to open the vent but can't manage to get it open.
Meanwhile, Golf Ball and Donut soar through the air until they ricochet off the ground and land in a tree. Donut, unsure of what to do, turns to Golf Ball for guidance. Annoyed, Golf Ball questions why Donut needs her leadership at this moment of all times. Donut insists that the team needs her right now, and Golf Ball sarcastically asks what he thinks they’re doing at that very moment.
The scene shifts to the rest of CloudYAY, where Yellow Face starts rambling about drawing again. Pencil, frustrated, tells him to be quiet, adding that if she wanted to hear nonsense, she would’ve gone back to hanging out with Dora. Pillow and Winner arrive, and Winner picks Pencil up. Winner reassures her that she’ll start understanding him over time, right before Yellow Face opens a portal to his ad dimension. Winner and Pencil step through the portal, and Winner uses Pencil to draw a rope. Pillow takes the rope and requests some weapons, so Winner draws a flamethrower for her.
Meanwhile, Bottle, Pen and Liy are standing outside Two's room, strategizing. Bottle asks what their plan is, and Liy quickly tells her to be quiet, warning that they must stay silent to avoid waking Two up, or else they'll lose. Pen attempts to open the door, only to find it locked. Remembering the master key from earlier, Liy uses it to unlock the door. Once inside, they find a peacefully sleeping Two. However, Bottle accidentally slips on a chip from the door, causing Pen and Liy to stumble and fall. The noise nearly wakes Two, so Pen and Liy quickly hide under the bed, shushing each other in panic. Suddenly, Pen realizes that Bottle isn’t under the bed with them. Liy glances around and spots the empty jar of milk lying on the floor, leading her to the alarming realization—the milk is gone. The scene shifts to Two, who is now holding Bottle, who now contained with milk. Two groggily asks if anyone's here, but quickly shrugs it off before drinking the milk from Bottle and going back to sleep. Once Two is fast asleep again, Bottle, Pen, and Liy quietly sneak away from the room. As they make their escape, Pen congratulates Bottle for her efforts, giving her a smile of approval for helping them avoid disaster.
TV, now with an automated machinery.
Outside, Golf Ball and Donut are precariously clinging to a tree while Donut urges Golf Ball that they need to get out of there. As Golf Ball surveys the chaotic scene, she spots the moon chasing Leek, Boom Mic and Shopping Cart. She turns to her right and sees Gelatin’s Steakhouse in the distance, suggesting they head there, but before they can act, a gust of wind blows the Steakhouse away. Desperate, Golf Ball tells Donut to start digging. However, as they dig, they become separated by the shifting dirt. Annoyed, Golf Ball asks why Donut ended up so far away, and Donut reminds her that he was simply following her instructions. Frustrated, Golf Ball makes a snide remark about his performance, calling it unsurprising for someone who was eliminated first, which angers Donut. In retaliation, he shoves dirt at her. Golf Ball warns him to watch it, reminding Donut that he was the reason their team lost the last time. Donut, irritated, fires back, telling her to consider other people's perspectives instead of always feeling the need to be in charge. Golf Ball questions why Donut is so eager to lead when she believes the role should clearly be hers, adding that he knows nothing about good leadership. Donut retorts that at least he cares about the team members and takes their feelings into account, rather than bossing them around. Golf Ball insists that she does care about the team, but she's also focused on winning.
Concurrently, Bottle, Pen, and Liy sprint through the hotel corridors, finally arriving at Tennis Ball's room. Inside, Tennis Ball excitedly unveils his latest invention—an enhanced version of TV. After an applause, Tennis Ball explains his plan. TV will be sent out to distract the approaching Davidian, lead him away from the hotel, and safely put him to sleep using the milk stored in Bottle. With the plan clearly laid out, the four of them prepare to set it in motion. Tennis Ball wishes them luck as they head out to execute the mission, determined to protect the hotel from the giant threat.
Meanwhile, Roboty is in the middle of telling a story, but Robot Flower interrupts him rudely, telling him to "zip it". She picks up Roboty, and just as Gaty lunges at her in an attempt to stop her, Robot Flower swings Roboty like a weapon, hitting Gaty and sending her crashing into a wall, killing her instantly. Pin rushes over to the recovery center to revive Gaty, while Pen, Bottle, Liy and TV exit the elevator.
"I can do that! Nice to see you again, Liy."
As this happens, Tree picks up Gaty’s lifeless body and tosses it into Black Hole for safe disposal. TV leaves the hotel to initiate the plan, attempting to capture the Davidian's attention. Meanwhile, Bottle turns to Black Hole and asks for a boost onto the giant David. Black Hole agrees, and before helping, he takes a moment to tell Liy it’s nice to see her again. With that, Black Hole uses his gravity powers to propel them upward, and they land on top of the David, ready to put their plan into action.
TV plays an audio clip of Tennis Ball’s voice, calmly instructing the Davidian to follow him. As planned, the Davidian complies, lumbering after TV and moving away from the hotel. Meanwhile, back with CloudYAY, Winner has just finished drawing the flamethrower, which Yellow Face enthusiastically praises. Overcome with excitement, Yellow Face shakes Pillow, who responds by telling him to get off.
Pillow, eager to test the new weapon, aims the flamethrower and fires, accidentally setting Winner on fire. Pencil frantically tries to blow out the flames, but her efforts are in vain. Winner remarks that what Pillow did wasn’t very nice. Pillow apologizes, explaining she was just testing it out, and Yellow Face ties a rope to a nearby log for stability. The four of them pile into the elevator. Upon reaching the top floor, Pillow immediately activates the flamethrower. Yellow Face remarks if you ever wanted to slay a dragon. As Pillow steps out, the flamethrower’s force lifts her into the air, but thanks to the rope tied to her leg, she remains tethered and doesn’t fly away. Confronting the dragon head-on, Pillow begins firing wildly at it, but the dragon skillfully dodges each attack. The creature grows angrier with every missed shot, and Winner, despite being singed, encourages Pillow to keep firing, determined to take down the dragon.
"Have you ever wanted to SLAY a dragon?"
Meanwhile, Snowball uses Ice Cube as a weapon, throwing her at a fish monster that’s been targeting him. On impact, Ice Cube shrinks in size, and Snowball, unfazed, remarks that he needs more ammo. He turns to Book and Price Tag, instructing them to find random junk upstairs that they can use to fend off the fish monsters. The two comply and head toward the ground floor.
As they make their way through the hotel, Book notices Robot Flower fighting off the rest of her team single-handedly. Not wanting to interfere in what seems like a private moment, Book decides to leave her be, and they continue their search. Eventually, the two stumble upon a storage room filled with old equipment. They begin rummaging through drawers, and when Book finds a laser gun, she points out that this would be especially useful since fish monsters are known to hate lasers. Price Tag asks Book if she had to look that up.
The duo continues to gather more items for ammo, and during their search, Price Tag notices a log attached to a rope. Curious, they pick up the log, but as soon as they do, the rope, which leads back to the elevator, immediately disconnects. Book, however, brushes it off, confident that the rope wasn’t important, and they quickly exit the room with their newfound supplies, ready to help Snowball in the ongoing battle against the fish monsters.
Back with CloudYAY, Pillow is still fiercely battling the dragon, firing the flamethrower with precision. However, Winner suddenly notices that the rope tethering Pillow to the ground has disconnected. Alarmed, Winner quickly shouts a warning to Pillow, urging her to be cautious. The rest of the team immediately grabs onto the rope, trying to hold Pillow down and prevent her from being blown away by the fierce winds.
Despite their best efforts, the wind proves too powerful, and the entire team is lifted off the ground. Helplessly, they are all pulled into the air, soaring straight toward the dragon. The impact sends them crashing into the dragon's side, enraging the already irritated creature. The dragon lets out a furious roar, its eyes now locked onto CloudYAY, ready to retaliate.
As the episode shifts to Death P.A.C.T. Yet Again, the team is in chaos, all fuming at Robot Flower for the destruction she's caused. Robot Flower kicks Roboty aside and laughs menacingly, which pushes Tree over the edge. Enraged, Tree, Fanny, and Marker all launch themselves at her in a coordinated attack, but Robot Flower swiftly dodges each of their moves with ease.
Robot Flower locks onto Gaty next, advancing rapidly. In a swift move, Gaty's hinges become attached to Pin's point, leaving Gaty in a vulnerable position. Robot Flower forcefully disconnects them and seizes Pin's point, using it to pierce Gaty, causing her to gasp in pain. Amused by the situation, Robot Flower lets out a laugh. However, Gaty, reaching her limit, fights back, using Pin's point to stab Robot Flower's screen. The impact sends Robot Flower flying across the room, crashing into the couch.
As Robot Flower's screen turns red, her vision becomes heavily glitched and distorted. She spots Book and Price Tag nearby, carrying an assortment of items, and immediately focuses on the log they're holding. Without hesitation, she grabs the log and uses it to stab Gaty once more. Just as she revels in the chaos, Tree sneaks up behind her and jumps onto her. Robot Flower shifts her attention from Pin and Gaty to Tree, now locked in pursuit.
Tree sprints up the stairs in a desperate attempt to escape, losing one of his branches in the process. The chase leads them into the kitchen, where Tree tries to defend himself using anything he can find, hurling rotten food at Robot Flower. Undeterred, Robot Flower picks up a blender and throws it directly at Tree, knocking him out of the window. Before he can fall, the wind catches him, sending him drifting into the air.
Marker catches up to Robot Flower and bites her arm. It has no affect and Robot Flower quickly retaliates by knocking him off, but Marker isn't done yet. He returns and strikes her screen with a painting, temporarily dazing her. He removes his cap and throws it at one of the lights above, which falls and strikes Robot Flower, causing further glitches to her system. Curious about her malfunction, Marker reaches out to touch her, but he is electrocuted by the damaged robot in the process. Fanny witnesses this unfold in shock as Robot Flower, now with a crude smiley face drawn on her glitching screen, turns her attention to her. Robot Flower slowly advances on Fanny, but they are interrupted by Battery, who tells them both to shut up. In a fit of rage, Robot Flower grabs Battery, crushes them like a soda can, and tosses them aside, killing them instantly.
Fanny angrily declares that she hates Robot Flower before lunging at her with all her might. Robot Flower deflects her attack and attempts to tear off Fanny’s fan, launching her to the next floor. Fanny pleads for Robot Flower to stop, reminding her that they are on the same team and that fighting is pointless. Robot Flower malfunctions briefly, pausing for a moment. However, her moment of hesitation fades, and she coldly declines Fanny's request before throwing her out of the window without remorse.
Fanny defeats Robot Flower.
Just as Fanny is about to plummet, Black Hole notices and uses his gravity to pull her back into the hotel. Enraged and determined, Fanny charges toward Robot Flower and stomps directly on her screen, shattering it completely. Robot Flower finally shuts down, her reign of chaos brought to an end.
Fanny drags Robot Flower's lifeless body into Basketball's Aboveground Factory, where Tennis Ball is. There, she tells him to reset Robot Flower before she wakes up and causes more harm. Tennis Ball, taken aback, responds that he isn't sure he can simply reset her like that. Undeterred, Fanny approaches his computer and pulls up a video compilation of Robot Flower's destructive behavior, showing all the havoc she's unleashed ever since "The Seven Wonders of Goiky". The footage highlights the chaos and the drastic changes in her personality. Fanny concludes with a determined look that she isn't herself right now, and that they need to put a stop to this before things get even worse.
Seeing the seriousness of the situation, Tennis Ball hesitates but finally nods. He understands that they might have no other option, so he agrees to go through with the reset. As Tennis Ball works on Robot Flower, typing in commands and inputting codes, the tension in the room builds. After a few moments, he presses the final key, and Robot Flower’s system resets, her screen going blank before rebooting.
After the reset is complete, Tennis Ball turns to Fanny, his face filled with concern. He asks if she knows how they can truly bring Robot Flower back to normal. Outside, One watches the scene unfold and turns to Basketball, casually remarking that she could make Robot Flower even deadlier and dangerous if she wanted to. Basketball, unimpressed, questions why making a deal with One would even matter, pointing out that if One has all this power, she should just fix Robot Flower herself. One admits she has power, but it's not enough. She then glances at a sleeping Two on the TV screen, where a countdown of 100 seconds suddenly appears. One warns Basketball to hurry up, unless she wants to end up like Bell and Bomby. The screen shifts to reveal Needle and Barf Bag in an unknown location, visibly terrified, leaving Basketball stunned.
Meanwhile, Book and Price Tag return with the items. Book swiftly plugs the power point and electrocutes the fish before tossing a couch into the water which knocks then underneath, while Price Tag uses the laser gun to shoot at the remaining fish. Snowball continues to battle using Ice Cube as a weapon. As the fight rages on, Book notices the water levels rising rapidly and warns her team, prompting Snowball to hope that Eraser and Grassy have managed to escape through the exit.
Book electrocutes the fish.
The scene shifts to Eraser and Grassy, with the latter still struggling to open the vent. He notices the former engaged in a fierce battle with a fish monster and swims down to assist. Together, they manage to defeat the creature. On the surface, Price Tag continues to shoot lasers at another fish monster, but it skillfully dodges the attacks. The underwater fish hear a pained scream from one of their own, distracting them from Snowball, Price Tag, Ice Cube, and Book.
Meanwhile, on the ground floor, Book sees that Gaty is impaled by a log and promptly moves to remove it. Pin thanks Book for her help. Book then returns to the water, using the log to plug a hole in a pipe, as her team cheers her on.
Outside, the Davidian is still pursuing TV, while Pen, Liy, and Bottle climb up its enormous form. Liy throws Bottle towards Pen, who catches her, and they continue their ascent. However, the Davidian becomes agitated, and the resulting sound waves cause them to lose their grip and fall. They manage to cling to its "hair", and Pen reassures them to stay calm.
Meanwhile, in One's room, the countdown on the screen ticks down to just 5 seconds. Feeling the pressure, Basketball "changes her mind" and agrees to accept One's deal in exchange for bringing back Robot Flower. One hands Basketball a contract to sign. Back in Tennis Ball's room, Robot Flower awakens, surprising both Tennis Ball and Fanny. One tells Basketball to leave, but when Basketball asks if the storm will be ended, One reveals that with Basketball being alike as them, she "changes her mind", refusing to end the storm, much to Basketball's frustration. Basketball is teleported away before she can respond.
Basketball re-appears back in her room, conveniently on Tennis Ball's remote, destroying it. She turns to Robot Flower, asking if she's okay. Robot Flower confirms that she is, and Basketball expresses how much she has missed her, given how different she's been for a year. The two share a heartfelt hug. The computer then displays clips of Robot Flower wreaking havoc, leaving her stunned. Robot Flower is shocked by her actions, and Basketball apologizes for putting her through that ordeal, emphasizing that the best version of her was always the one right here. Robot Flower appreciates this sentiment, and Basketball refocuses their attention on the storm. Outside, Black Hole is surrounded by a swarm of bugs. Quickly seeking refuge, he heads inside as the others shout his name, realising he could be the one to put a stop to all this.
TV gets stuck, while Liy pours the milk into the Davidian’s mouth.
Meanwhile, Golf Ball and Donut continue their struggle beneath the dirt. Donut mentions that Barf Bag had wanted him to be the leader, noting that even though she's gone, CloudYAY still depends on him. Golf Ball retorts that if no one listens to her, all her efforts will have been in vain, and questions why everyone seems to prefer Donut’s ideas, which she finds absurd. Donut acknowledges that while he believes her ideas are great, he also wants to ensure that every teammate’s voice is heard. Golf Ball responds that if he had listened to her, Barf Bag might not have been eliminated. Golf Ball hears Tennis Ball's voice from above, not realizing it's actually TV playing a recording to lure the Davidian. She instructs Donut to dig, and he complies, eventually breaking through to the surface. However, as soon as Donut emerges, the David immediately steps on him. Pen, Liy, and Bottle land on the Davidian's mouth as they fall, and Liy quickly pours the milk into the David’s mouth. Golf Ball also surfaces, only to be stepped on by the David as well. Meanwhile, TV gets his wheels stuck in a vent, but the Davidian falls asleep, ending the immediate threat. Not long after, it snoozes, causing Pen, Liy, and Bottle to be thrusted away.
Elsewhere, Eraser and Grassy are pursued by the fish monsters. They manage to fend off most of them, but one fish monster still tries to devour them. Eraser struggles to hold its mouth open to prevent it from swallowing them, while Grassy swims out to distract the fish. Despite their efforts, the fish monster eventually swallows them both.
"AAAAAAAAA! FISH!"
Meanwhile, CloudYAY continues to ride the dragon, which accidentally collides with the sleeping Davidian. The impact causes the Davidian to fall onto TV, electrocuting him and waking him up. This results in TV exploding, and the fish monster ends up landing on the dragon. Yellow Face tells the team they only have one chance to handle the situation, and Pencil tells Team 2 that they should've agreed to her alliance to avoid this problem before launching the fish monster into Two's room. The fish monster awakens Two, who is furious and angrily puts Team 2 up for elimination for failing to prevent the monster from entering their room. Two tries to escape from the fish monster, they desperately beg it to leave them alone.
Meanwhile, Fanny, Robot Flower, Tennis Ball, and Basketball rush down the stairs to the ground floor, where they find Black Hole struggling to keep the bugs at bay. Tennis Ball urges Black Hole to fly into the storm and use his gravity to end it. Black Hole expresses concern that leaving would allow the bugs to enter the hotel, and he must prioritize the safety of everyone over potential disaster. Tree suggests that they can still prevent the bugs from reaching Two's room by focusing on protecting the hotel. Black Hole asks Fanny if she agrees with this plan, and she confirms it, telling him to save everyone. Black Hole then takes off to confront the storm.
Back inside, Fanny directs Death P.A.C.T. Yet Again to focus on eliminating the remaining bugs. They manage to kill most of them using methods like cutting it apart using Fanny, stepping on them, and crushing them using Robot Flower, Basketball and the hatch of the Recovery Center. After all the bugs have been killed, Fanny praises their efforts. However, Marker points out one last bug still alive and climbing up the stairs. The team chases the bug up the stairs, but Basketball warns Tennis Ball that helping Death P.A.C.T. Yet Again could risk their own team’s elimination. Realizing the truth in her words, Tennis Ball hastily climbs the stairs but trips, causing everyone to tumble. Tennis Ball then apologizes for the "mishap".
"Whoops! Sorry, I'm just a clumsy Tennis Ball!"
As Robot Flower rushes ahead, Basketball remembers she has the ability to catch up. Robot Flower catches up with the bug just in time, but somehow a chunk of the door causes her to slip and throw her against the hotel wall and back. With nothing left to avoid the predicament, the bug slips into Two’s room and bites Two. The chaos escalates as the fish monster throws Two against the wall. Two infuriatingly announces that Death P.A.C.T. Yet Again is also up for elimination. Meanwhile, Black Hole steps outside and uses his gravity powers to neutralize the storm, bringing everything back to normal. As the storm subsides, he breathes a sigh of relief, satisfied with his efforts to save the day.
After the Contest[]
The David gets up and walks away, leaving the area. The dragon carefully sets CloudYAY back on the ground, and Winner asks if the storm has finally ended. Yellow Face cheers in response, and Price Tag, Book, Snowball, and Ice Cube arrive, declaring the basement to be safe, and relieved that the storm is over.
Firey, sad over Leafy's disappearance from the storm.
Black Hole approaches the rest of his team, seeking an explanation for the situation. Two announces that both his team and Team 2 have lost. Snowball is puzzled by this, noting that Team 2 managed to stop the flooding, but Two, frustrated, scolds Snowball for interrupting.
Stinger[]
Firey is seen walking towards the edge of the Dreamier Island shore, and then sits on the grass. He briefly hangs his head towards the ground, possibly thinking about Leafy and the rainstorm, before looking back up at the night sky full of twinkling stars.

- Price Tag's voice credit has been updated, now stating their voice actor's full name.

- The music that plays during the post credits is the same that plays during BFDIA 5b.
- This is the first TPOT episode since "Fishes and Dishes" where no male contestants are eliminated.
- In the stinger for "Start the Shift", the episode cuts to the aftermath of this episode, when the Yoylite falls on the ground. Tennis Ball discovers it and picks it up, recognizing it as the one Nickel threw back in 2015. The scene then cuts to Golf Ball's Underground Factory, where he and Golf Ball put it in a glass case, so that nothing bad will happen to it.

EXITor joining[]
With Liy joining...[]
- ...This makes the original Death P.A.C.T. to be the first and only team from BFB to have all of their members compete at some point during TPOT.
- ...This makes her the second BFDI APPISIOTE 2255555555!!!!! contestant to have competed at some point in TPOT, after Foldy.
- This also makes Stapy the only contestant out of the three of them to not compete in TPOT who are from BFDI APPISIOTE 2255555555!!!!!.
- ...Sabrina once again voices a currently competing contestant in TPOT.
- This also makes Liy, alongside Lightning, to be one of the two contestants from BFB to compete in TPOT who are voiced by Sabrina.
With Pencil joining...[]
- ...She has now joined Pin, Coiny, Ice Cube, Rocky, Tennis Ball, Golf Ball, and Needle as the only characters to be present in all five seasons.
- ...This is her first full season competing without Match.
- ...This is the second time 2 people join. The first one being "You Know Those Buttons Don't Do Anything, Right?" with Winner and Price Tag.
With Barf Bag and Needle's elimination...[]
- Donut is now the only member of Team Ice Cube! still competing.
- Both of the eliminated contestants are former members of Team8s and are voiced by Pokey.
- This would make Ice Cube the only TPOT contestant still in the game voiced by Pokey.
- Not only that, but this means Donut, Gaty, and Pin are the only Team8s members still in the game.
- It's also the second time two contestants from one team get eliminated at once, the first being Coiny and Teardrop (who were both simultaneously on W.O.A.H Bunch in BFDIA 2-4) in Episode 9.
- Pin is now the only member of The Losers! still competing.
- Needle is the fourth contestant in a row (and fifth overall) to be eliminated in TPOT prior to BFDIA, following Fries, Coiny, Nickel, and Bomby. The latter three were also members of W.O.A.H. Bunch.
- The episode number, and the ten-thousandth place of Needle's votes make this the second time that the number thirteen has been related to her elimination.
- This previously happened in Puzzling Mysteries with the same number being how many times she has slapped people before being eliminated.
- Needle Is the fourth BFDI veteran to be eliminated. The others are Rocky, Coiny, and Teardrop.
- There are no more contestants remaining in TPOT that start with letter N.

Cultural references[]
- The title of the episode refers to the classification of hurricanes (known as the Saffir-Simpson scale), the main premise of this challenge. Hurricanes falling into Category One of the Saffir-Simpson scale (74 to 95 mph) are considered to be the least intense.
- One's Robot Flower figure bears some resemblance to amiibo(s).
- When Dora is untethered from the roof, she says "Goodbye, cruel world!". This may be a reference to James Darren’s song of the same name.
- The moment Snowball shows a thumbs-up, the Seinfeld theme plays. This also happens with Coiny in "No More Snow!".
- The Jacksepticeye intro plays when he gives the thumbs-up, as in "PointyPointyPointy ♫".
- When Two looks at the giant David, they do the Thousand-Yard Stare.
- The challenge possibly references the tower defense genre due to teams losing if their assigned creature reaches Two's room.
- The subtitles write out Golf Ball's first boot line as "FIRST 🅱️OOT", referencing the 🅱️ emoji meme.
- At 20:19, Book finds a Nintendo GameCube.
- At 27:43, TV makes the Metal Pipe sound effect.
- Fidget spinners can be seen as one of the items being blown by the storm.
- Some of the sound effects are borrowed from Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, such as whenever the opponent gets hit, and when the player adds a spirit to their team to help aid them in a spirit battle (the latter is heard when Two announces votes, while the former is used when a character gets hit).
Goofs[]
- The episode's description says that the YOYLECAKE track "Once More" is played in this episode for the first time in the series. However, it's not heard in this episode at all and was actually first heard in the previous episode very briefly.
- At 3:18, at the second when Two brings Pencil, Liy and Bracelety to the hotel room, a empty part seen at the left corner of the background is seen.
- At 4:18, Pencil’s leg detaches when she pushes Golf Ball down the stairs.
- At 4:51, Donut can be seen being ripped in half by Pillow, Donut is then seen alive during CloudYAY's elimination, even though the Recovery center isn't present yet.
