Plot[]
Cold Open[]
Pin and Puffball are trying to block the doors to stop a zombified Barf Bag from getting inside the Hotel whilst Donut is panicking, shouting to seal the door up. Eraser, who is holding a green version of Pen’s cap, tries to ask what happened.
A flashback is presented as Golf Ball and Tennis Ball are inspecting an unconscious Barf Bag lying down on a table with everyone talking over one another. Golf Ball tells everyone to stop talking as Tennis Ball informs everyone that Barf Bag was unconscious because she lost her barf after falling into the water during last episode’s challenge. Tennis Ball continues saying that with Rocky's elimination from last episode, the only source of vomit was inside the volcano. So, the only two options would be either to use the lava-infused vomit or to kill Barf Bag and recover her.
But Black Hole, a member of Death P.A.C.T. Again, tells them to not despawn Barf Bag and instead use the lava vomit. But once they pour it that vomit, Barf Bag becomes green and zombified. As Pen tries to lend out a hand for Barf Bag as she walks up to him woozily, she bites Pen's arm, resulting in him becoming green and infected as well. Eraser begins to check on his buddy assuming he has to nap, but a zombified Pen comes forward at Eraser, with Eraser taking his cap, shocked and confused. Golf Ball tells the contestans to run away and get to cover.
Each team goes their separate ways to run away, with Are You Okay and Team8s running to the hotel door. Teardrop gets locked out and bangs on the door to get in, but Golf Ball doesn't let Teardrop as she might be contaminated. Teardrop doesn't listen and smashes through a window and slaps Golf Ball while GB tries to apologize. An infected Pen tries to break in through the broken window and Two appears, assuming that they could join in on climbing through broken glass. Puffball interrupts saying that they need nails and boards, then Two questions if instead they meant cake. Hey Two! plays until it is interrupted by Tennis Ball warning Two that the zombies are trying to break in. Two becomes sad and dejectedly gathers a board and some nails to board the window, blocking Pen in the process. Two is upset that the song couldn't be finished so Golf Ball lets them finish it. After the song is over, the scene cuts back to the beginning of the episode, also starting Cake At Stake.
Cake at Stake[]
The Cake at Stake occurs simultaneously with the the already infected contestants are trying to enter the hotel to get Two, Team8s and Are You Okay. The prize is some wooden slabs and nails to block the window that Teardrop broke to get in. The first two declared safe are Eraser and TV, with Pen being next, whose slabs instantly get taken by Eraser to board up the window. Tennis Ball is declared safe next, leaving Golf Ball and Puffball as the bottom two. Golf Ball feels upset after finally understanding Puffball's value in the last few episodes. They both cried for a second, and Puffball states that she was glad they both reached common ground, but before she could finish her sentence, Pen rushes in and bites on Puffball, infecting her. Eraser takes advantage and kicks both of them out the window, quickly boarding up the gap after that. Golf Ball is then declared safe by a three-vote margin, who swears to avenge Puffball.
Two is about to start Team8s' ceremony, but they're interrupted by Anchor knocking on the door outside. Anchor had survived the zombie outbreak, but was begging to be let in. Two asked the members of Team8's to see if any of them would let him in. After all five shook their heads, Two begins the Cake at Stake for Team8's. Donut and Gaty are the first one declared safe. Pin then suggests that the person with the lowest votes should have to open the door. Coiny worries that she could be one to be so, but Pin assures that they'd be fine as they always do so well.
Barf Bag is the next one safe, and the scene cuts to Barf Bag on the roof, zombified, along with Pen. Both of them are infecting the rejects that were on the roof. Some wood and nails spawn for Barf Bag. Pin is the next one safe, with Coiny and Needle at the bottom two. Both of them panic before Two declares that Coiny is eliminated, with Needle getting 20 more votes. Pin is upset that Coiny is eliminated, but before Coiny can let Anchor in, Barf Bag breaks through the door and infects Coiny.
After Coiny's infection, Tennis Ball instructs Are You Okay to go upstairs. Eraser tries to stop Teardrop after what happened on the balancing beam. They have a slap fight similar to Coiny and Firey in BFDI, and they gain their BFDI appearances for the duration of it. Golf Ball tells them to stop and come upstairs, and begins the TPOT intro.
After the intro[]
Eraser and Teardrop get quickly inside of Basketball's Aboveground Factory, where there's also Golf Ball, Tennis Ball, TV, and Two. Eraser asks for everyone else’s whereabouts so Two summons communication screens to identify the teams’ locations.
Death P.A.C.T. Again are in the Goiky Canal on top of Tree who's now bigger. The Strongest Team on Earth. are grabbing from Bell’s string, who cannot lift due all of them being heavy. Nickel tries to tell his team’s location but the screen glitches, Eraser however manages to identify that they're in Gelatin's Steakhouse, adding that the reception sucks. The S! are outside the Steakhouse as they got locked out by Just Not. Price Tag simply gives them a plate with steaks. Team8s stayed on the first floor of the hotel with Donut telling Two that they'll try to find Four and X to help them.
Challenge[]
Since the teams are trying to survive the zombie apocalypse, Two announces the challenge to the teams that they must survive in order to have immunity, with the two teams with the least members who survived up for elimination. Just Not doesn’t get this as they are in Gelatin's Steakhouse which has no connection. Nickel asks for Two to repeat the contest, which they do. However, Pillow, because of the call repeatedly breaking up, misinterprets Two as saying the challenge is to kill all of your teammates. Pillow then destroys the video that Two was using to tell them the challenge. Two assumes that since they're green, they're immune. As Two says this, a zombified Barf Bag comes up behind them and bites them, turning them into a zombie. Golf Ball screams and begs for Two to go back to normal. The scene then cuts to Pin trying to defend herself from a zombified Discy, telling her team Four's power's are probably enough to fix the zombies. Needle then slaps Discy, telling Donut to hurry, as Donut is yelling for Four and X to help, Donut notices a note that says "KITCHEN BONDING RETREAT (BE BACK SOON)".
Meanwhile, Four and X are fishing with Clock. Four asks Clock if he has found something yet, and Clock reminds him that he already did. X tells him to play along, then Clock catches something and it is revealed to be another X. Four and X celebrate while Clock is clearly annoyed. Clock sarcastically "celebrates", saying "Yay."
Team8s are surrounded by zombies and Needle clashes Clapboard and Shopping Cart together and grabs her team, telling them they can't hold them off forever, and Needle starts running over to the basement. Gaty then hears Golf Ball telling Two to return to normal, and jumps off Needle so she can go and help Two. Pin then yells that they're losing their team members fast. A loud bang is heard, and Donut, scared, questions where it came from. It is revealed to be a zombie Puffball, who flies into the window, smashing it. Pin, Needle, and Donut run to the basement as zombie Coiny, Puffball, and Shopping Cart follow behind. The trio slowly walk down the dilapidated stairs to the basement, and the zombies follow. Pin sees zombie Coiny and tells her team they can still save him, but Needle grabs Pin and starts sprinting down the stairs, telling her that Coiny was not himself at that moment. Pin yells "NOOO!" and zombie Puffball destroys part of the stairs, and everyone screams. They all land in the sewer and begin to float down the stream.
Some zombies are approaching The S! as Winner yells at Just Not to open the door. Yellow Face has an idea and tells his team to follow him and go to Cloudy's collection. Yellow Face hastily hides his team inside, with Bottle complimenting Yellow Face's idea to hide in Cloudy's collection. Yellow Face tells the team that Cloudy's Collection has grown large from donations from his factory, making it harder for the zombies to break in. Bottle then starts eating one of the steaks Just Not gave them, and calls them "delish".
Bell is slowly jumping away from zombie Onigiri, Avocado, Rubber Spatula, and Battery, complaining about the heaviness. Bell then assumes an undead Nonexisty is weighing them down, but Robot Flower tells her that it's actually "Yoyle Ball" (Snowball) that they should get off. Bell agrees with Robot Flower's idea to get Snowball off, but Snowball tells her that the zombies are right behind them. Grassy reminds Snowball that he's metal, with Bell adding on that the zombies wouldn't be able to bite him in his metal form. Snowball finally agrees to get off, with Bell being able to fly normally again. Proving Bell's theory right, the zombies couldn't bite Snowball. But much to the team's dismay, both zombified Rubber Spatula and Onigiri tear Snowball apart easily. Rubber Spatula recovers Snowball and bites him immediately. Bell apologizes to Snowball and Grassy tells her to go.
Tree notices the same group of zombies chasing Bell on the shore of the Goiky Canal. Zombie Rubber Spatula and Onigiri start heading to where Tree is rooted, and Tree tells Black Hole to stop them, specifically suck them up. But Black Hole declines, as they're not dead but instead undead. Marker then mocks Fanny, who is unable to argue due to the lack of her mouth and suggests that they should simply move Tree. Black Hole says that's literally impossible due to how huge he is. The zombies start swimming towards them and Marker asks him if he has a better idea, and tells Fanny to dig with him, both of them jumping into the water to begin digging.
Book tells her team that while the reception was bad, the challenge can't possibly be killing each other. As she says this, the light flickers and she's left alone. Book slowly walks around the steakhouse in fear, saying that they can talk about it and figure something out. Book hears a loud noise and then sees a shadowy figure move around. As Book gets closer to inspect it, she coms across an old sign from the Steakhouse, startling her. That is when Nickel appears and brings her behind the stash. Because of the stress being too much for him, Nickel suggests to Book that they could sleep through the apocalypse as he already found a bed in the trash. As he tucks himself in bed, he says he only needs a pillow, unknowingly grabbing Pillow herself in the process. When he realizes this, Pillow slams him against the bed frame, killing him. Pillow approaches Book next to use her glue for some armor. Book screams Pillow's name as the former is about to get killed.
The scene then cuts back to Two getting infected by Barf Bag. Golf Ball panically tells everyone to run. As the rest of Are You Okay and Teardrop run out the room, they accidentally trample Gaty in the process. Gaty notices Two on the ceiling, waving at her and spinning in an odd manner upstairs as Gaty follows Two. The group splits up as Tennis Ball and Golf Ball head back into the factory. TV instructs Eraser and Teardrop to lead the zombies elsewhere, so Teardrop smacks Snare Drum away as Eraser grabs 9-Ball and throws them. Teardrop jumps to escape the ball as it hits Tape instead. Eraser apologizes and tells Teardrop that he meant to hit her, which Teardrop blows a raspberry. TV then tells the duo to stack up to access the vents above.
As Teardrop and Eraser get on TV, Teardrop jumps to get to the vents first. As Eraser hangs on and tells TV to grab onto his legs, TV instead sacrifices himself to let Eraser escape and Pen uses Snare Drum to kill TV. Eraser slowly loses his grip, yelling for Teardrop's help. Although it seems that Eraser fell, Teardrop rescues him and brings him to the vents. Eraser thanks Teardrop just as Pen emerges behind him and bites him, infecting Eraser. Teardrop quickly runs away as Pen and the other zombies start chasing her.
Marker and Fanny are still digging and Tree tells them that they have to hurry as the zombies are on their way. Black Hole comes up with the idea to find some protection, so he flies over to Cloudy's collection. As Black Hole begins to inspect the zombies that are already near the collection, Bottle comes out and playfully tells Black Hole to not suck them up. Black Hole assures her that he won't do that, but instead tells her that he needs the stash to protect Tree. Yellow Face warns Black Hole that if he takes the whole collection, The S! would die. Black Hole panics because if he doesn't take it, Tree would die. Black Hole wonders why the zombies are so adamantly coming to them, and Bottle says that she doesn't know. She decides to throw a steak away as the zombies walk towards it. Black Hole tells her to use those steaks to deflect as he takes part of the stash with him to save Tree.
Zombie Snowball, Battery and Avocado are chasing The Strongest Team on Earth., at the Snowy Tundra. Robot Flower tells Bell that maybe they'll give up if she just went higher, and Bell's answers that she would do that if all of them got off. Snowball then stops and lets Avocado and Battery roll him through the snow, causing him to become larger. Robot Flower is amazed by this and ditches her team to join Avocado and Battery. Battery tries to bite her but she simply throws them away as she is immune. Basketball tells Bell that she told her that Robot Flower is a complete liability right now. Grassy tells Bell to fly and they quickly get away.
Golf Ball and Tennis Ball study Pen's cap as the former discovers that the lava-vomit fusion caused Barf Bag's insides to rot, with the mutation spreading when she bites people. Tennis Ball adds on and suggests that powering the bodies up can undo the rotting and turn everyone back to normal. Golf Ball wonders what could have caused Barf Bag to get so strong last episode.
The scene cuts to Gaty comes up to the fifth floor of the hotel to look for Two. As she hears them whisper to come inside the room, Gaty becomes a bit freaked out as the door suddenly opens. After hearing Two whispering to come inside once more, Gaty starts to walk into the door. She tries to talk to them as she knows Two isn't themself right now. Gaty then spots the pink couch she and Two would sit on often. Gaty sits down on the couch and asks Two if they're there. She was then met with a zombified Two that approached behind her, Gaty asked if they were okay before the zombified Two "eliminates" Gaty, sending her to Pie's elimination place before Two disappears.
As Bottle, Yellow Face and Winner are throwing steaks away, Bottle asks them on what to do if they start to run out of steaks. Winner suggests that maybe they say "Warning" to let them know. Bottle immediately yells "warning" repeatedly to notify the team that they only have one steak left. That is when Black Hole returns to take the whole collection with him as he needs a big stash. As the zombies start approaching them, Yellow Face asks who would be brave enough to head off with the last steak and save the team. Ice Cube replies that she doesn't want to be the one to do so, but Yellow Face and Winner look at each other and send Ice Cube sliding with the steak. The zombies start chasing her until she hits a bush and the zombies start biting her.
Pin, Donut, and Needle are swimming in the sewers until they come across a vent. As they swim up to get air, Needle asks Pin and Donut if they're okay. Price Tag is revealed to be above the vent and asks the trio what they're doing down there. When Needle tells them that the sewers led them there, Price Tag lets Needle know that they're heading into the back of the Steakhouse, which they add on that it used to be a Shadeshouse. Needle explains to Price Tag that some of the shades' ability to change colors can be handy for looking for zombies and keeping everyone alive. But as soon as she says this stuff, Donut is pulled into the water, which is revealed to be Income Tax Return Document pulling him. Needle and Pin go underwater once more to get him back, but Donut is split in half in a futile attempt from Needle to grab Donut from the zombified individual. Pin notifies Needle about the rest of the zombies coming their way, with a giant Puffball leading the group as Pin and Needle swim away from the zombies.
Price Tag catches on Needle's statement about keeping everyone alive and finds out that it was the actual challenge instead of Pillow's assumption about wiping the team out. Price Tag puts on the night vision shades and spots Pillow glued with pieces of Book's body, revealing that she aready killed her offscreen. As Pillow slowly walks to Price Tag, the latter tries to tell her that the challenge isn't actually to kill everybody. Pillow pays no mind to this as she leaps forward to attack Price Tag, but Price Tag jumps and avoids the attack. Pillow finds Barbecue Sauce's corpse, which is partially broken and she uses it to attack Price Tag, but they return the attack and they take a chunk out of her, and Pillow presumably faints. Price Tag goes to look for Bomby and Nickel, saying that Pillow died. Bomby, who was hiding on a vent, comes out and congratulates them for killing Pillow. Surprisingly, Pillow appears behind Price Tag, ripping them apart, saying that the attack only grazed her. Bomby runs down stairs as Pillow chases him.
Marker swims up to Tree's body and begins pushing him, telling Black Hole that him and Fanny need more time to continue. Black Hole arrives with Cloudy's collection and tries to block the zombies' path. It works momentarily, but then the zombies swim under the stash. Black Hole then takes the stash and makes a tower, which the zombies start climbing. Black Hole, seeing this, alerts his team and tells them to dig, and Marker goes back underwater to do so.
The zombies, with a Zombified Ice Cube are approaching The S!. Bottle laments that this is their end, wishing they could have save Ice Cube. Yellow Face also laments, wishing he could have sold more from his factory, but Bottle and Winner look at him with disappointment, so Yellow Face says he meant to say what Bottle said.
The scene cuts to Teardrop running and jumping through the air duct, trying to escape the zombies, but gets blocked by Eraser. Teardrop turns around and tries to run the other way, only for Pen to block her way. She then starts trying to force herself through the vent in the air duct, where, below, Golf Ball and Tennis Ball are trying to figure out how to undo the zombification. They are angry that they can't figure out a solution, but get interrupted when Barf Bag breaks into the laboratory. Meanwhile, Teardrop is still forcing herself through the vent, being almost through by then. As Barf Bag approaches the duo, Teardrop finally falls through the vent and into Barf Bag's infected barf, turning her back to normal. Tennis Ball is shocked that her zombification was undone, and GB realizes that Teardrop was the solution to the problem.
Tennis Ball states the problem that most contestants don't have external innards, with Golf Ball stating that the only solution is to take out Barf Bag's barf yet again. Barf Bag agrees, although still confused. Golf Ball attempts to extract the barf, but realizes there isn't enough in Barf Bag to save everyone. Golf Ball asks Teardrop to hop back in, but Tennis Ball points out that Teardrop dying means that she will be eliminated. Still, Teardrop agrees, and dives into Barf Bag to make more vomit. Golf Ball extracts the barf, and tells Tennis Ball to help her feed it to everyone, but Two grabs them and sends them to the elimination place.
The scene cuts back to the zombies still chasing The Strongest Team on Earth. on the Snowy Tundra. Basketball tells Bell that they have to hide somewhere, so she says that they'll return to the Grasslands, and that maybe they already sorted something out already. At the same time, Needle and Pin come to a dead end in the sewer. The zombies slam into them, breaking the wall down and sending them all into a pit. Needle celebrates the death of the zombies, while Pin is scared that they will drown because of the water flowing into the pit. Needles notices a crack in the ceiling, and tells Pin to escape through there. Meanwhile, Tree is still panicking, while Black Hole tells him to have faith in the stash. Bell goes over to them, asking if they found a solution. Black Hole tells them no, then gets distracted by the gigantic Snowball rolling down the hill and onto the zoomy ramp of yoyle legend. Snowball gets flung into Tree, causing a crack to form and the zombies to get sent flying. Needle and Pin climb up the wall as water goes down through the crack. Just then, Snowball launches back off of Tree and causes the crack to close back up, crushing Needle. Pin is shocked, and yells "NEEDLE! NO!"
Golf Ball yells "TWO! NOOO!", but then, Pie salutes her, saying that she's not Two though. Golf Ball is surprised to see Gaty there too and asks where are they. Tennis Ball deduces that Two sent them to the elimination place instead of killing them. Gaty says that even as a zombie, Two is still cool. Pie asks if she can rejoin, and Golf Ball quickly declines her.
Snowball flies back into the hotel and bends it, causing the thermos filled with barf to shatter a window and fall out of the building conveniently next to The S!. Yellow Face notices it first and mistakes it for a drink, chugging down some of it before puking it back up, reminiscing over Rocky. He throws the barf into Conch Shell's mouth, causing him to go back to normal. Bottle is elated that they found a solution, with Yellow Face presenting the idea of cooking the vomit into steaks. Winner agrees with this, but asks how they will get in, as they're still locked out.
Pillow corners Bomby and asks him if she should kill him the easy way or the other easy way as she shows Nickel's and Price Tag's corpses. Bomby answers that he wants to go out the even easier way as he's gonna take her down on his terms. So Bomby lights his own fuse, exploding himself and killing both himself and Pillow. The explosion sends the burning steakhouse flying and it lands on top of The S!. Bottle panics and screams because of all of the fire in the steakhouse.
The scene cuts back to Tree nearly getting killed by Snowball, telling Black Hole to stop him as he almost died. Black Hole then flies above the steakhouse, catches Snowball who just ricocheted off of the hotel again, and slams him into the steakhouse, putting out the fires and making Snowball loses most of his snow. Winner tells their remaining team to get in the kitchen, as Yellow Face asks the audience if they've ever wanted to solve an apocalypse. Bottle then pours the vomit onto a plate of steaks, creating the formula to cure the zombies.
Black Hole then goes back to his team, and tells Tree that he will not get pulled anymore, putting a smile on Tree's face. Black Hole also tells his team that they caused no death and no danger either. Meanwhile, Pin is trapped underneath Tree, and starts punching the ceiling, screaming and wanting to get out. Tree complains about his roots being itchy, and Marker apologizes because he thinks it was due to his and Fanny's digging. Pin keeps grabbing at the ceiling, hoping to escape, but then gives up, as she is making no progress. Then, Coiny crawls out of the wreckage and sees Pin at the surface. Pin tells Coiny that she is sorry that the latter got out and that she doesn't know what to do. Coiny then attempts to bite Pin, who catches him in midair, realizing that he isn't himself right now. Pin then uses Coiny to break out of the ground, escaping and realizing that she can do things on her own. Black Hole greets her, but stops short when he sees Coiny's dead body. Black Hole then asks if Pin killed Coiny, to which she responds "It's not what it looks like?"
Bottle comes out of the steakhouse with a plate with steaks, and puts them on the floor and some zombies go to eat them, curing them.
Two teleports all the teams back to the Grasslands. Gaty and Pin are happy to see each other safe. Pin tells Gaty that it was hard to see Coiny as a zombie. Gaty also says the same about Two, but she also saw a good side of them, even as a zombie, saying that they could had easily killed them but they didn't, and it's nice to hold onto that. Pin tells Gaty that she never thought she could be able to play the game without Coiny, saying that he kinda pushed her towards fighting for herself down there, saying it's a good way to look at it. After they say all that, Eraser tells that Pen got a good bite on him and how it hurt him. Gaty awkwardly mentions they were mentioning the good qualities in their friends, even if they were zombified. Eraser laughs and mentions how Pen's always biting something, making the two of them back away from him.
Golf Ball tells Two that she and Tennis Ball thought they killed them, but they arrived to where Pie was instead. Two then apologizes, saying that they weren't meant to go there yet. Two then announced that Tear Drop is up for elimination first, but then realized Teardrop died, everyone gasped in the background. Two recovers Teardrop and tells her that she was eliminated, Teardrop nods and opens her mouth with her finger up, leading the others to believe she is about to say something. But instead of saying anything, she waves her arm, signaling that it's fine. Eraser then says a final goodbye to Teardrop, with them shaking hands and Teardrop playfully flipping Eraser over. Eraser then tells her to get out lightheartedly, and Two sends her to the elimination area. Two then counts up the remaining members of each team, with Death P.A.C.T. Again doing the best, The S! and The Strongest Team on Earth losing one member, Are You Okay and Team8s losing three members, and Just Not getting completely wiped out, causing them to be up for elimination. Then Eraser says he's going to fill the lines for Just Not by yelling "NOOOO", then "or whatever".
Stinger[]
It cuts back to April 2020, where in the EXIT, Four is trying to get Roboty to tell him where the other EXITors went. Meanwhile all the EXITors are in The Fourest, with all of them arguing about where to go next. Liy tells them that they should go to the waterfall, Firey Jr. suggests they go into the Fourest and Pencil wants to go back to the classrooms while 8-Ball mocks them. Bracelety then shouts at them to stop or she'll leave if they'll keep fighting, which Stapy likes, thinking of the idea of splitting into groups and regrouping if any of them figure a way out. Liy, Stapy, and Match go to the waterfall (despite Match telling Pencil they need to stick together), Firey Jr, 8-Ball, and Dora go into the Fourest, and Pencil, David, and Bracelety head back to the classroom thinking it might be the way out. On the way, David seems to get sad and Bracelety believes it's because they couldn't save Roboty but Pencil says they could check the classroom in case if he's still there. Pencil opens the door to the classroom where Four then chases them down while trying to zap them. The three then head into another room and after that Four teleports down into the ground. Meanwhile in the room, Pencil, Bracelety, and David look around. Bracelety finds a skateboard, and meanwhile Pencil discovers drawings of other numbers on the walls.
It then cuts to the present day, where the Moon cracks more and more until a hole opens up, revealing another Algebralian named One inside of it, who then greets the audience before the episode ends.

Was locked outside of Gelatin's Steakhouse, but hid in Cloudy's Collection and used the steaks they received from Just Not to deter the zombies, costing them Ice Cube. When they ran out of those steaks, they received the cure that Are You Okay had made and after the Steakhouse had come to them and Black Hole used a gigantic Snowball to extinguish the flames around it, they combined the cure with the steaks from the house to cure everyone. | 2nd/3rd |

The team rode on Bell's String, though due to Snowball being made of Yoyle Metal, she couldn't fly until he got off. The zombies killed him, then recovered and infected him. They chased the remaining members into the Tundra, where they rolled Snowball to make him gigantic to run them over. Eventually, the team went back to the main area, where Snowball went off a ramp and hit Tree and the main building repeatedly until Black Hole used him to extinguish the fires that were in Gelatin's Steakhouse. | |

Pen was infected before the contest, so Eraser and TV worked with Teardrop to survive while Golf Ball and Tennis Ball worked to create a cure for the zombies. | 4th/5th |

Barf Bag was the origin of the zombies. Gaty stayed behind to help Two while the remainder of the team went through the sewers, ending up under the Goiky Canal, where Donut was torn in half and Needle was crushed underground. Pin used a zombified Coiny to dig her way out. | |

|
None | None | The team did not have a strategy, due to a bad connection which caused Pillow to assume the contest was to kill all the members on the team. She bashed Nickel into a bedframe and tore up Book and Price Tag (using the former to create "armor" for herself), before Bomby blew himself up to take down Pillow, sending the Steakhouse to The S! | 6th - UFE |

None | None | Teardrop worked alongside TV and Eraser to survive, but sacrificed herself to help create a cure for the zombies. | 7th- Automatic elimination |

Trivia[]
- This is the first episode to directly reference Cake at Stake in its title.
- This is the first episode that takes place entirely at nighttime, aside from the scene where Four, X, and Clock are fishing.
- The TPOT elimination area makes its debut in this episode when Golf Ball, Tennis Ball and Gaty are accidentally sent there by Two.
- This is the first time Barf Bag has been in a BFDI thumbnail.
- This is the first TPOT episode to use a period in the text of its thumbnail and to have the text be white.
- The thumbnail also has the shortest text in a TPOT episode, with four characters (counting the period).
- If one counts Two being zombified, then this would mark their first death in the series.
- This is the second BFDI episode in which a contestant instantly gets eliminated after losing a challenge, the other being Profily's elimination in the BFB episode "The Hidden Contestant".
- None of the characters voiced by Cary Huang or Satomi Hinatsu were zombified.
- The teaser for this episode is similar to the teaser for "The Worst Day of Black Hole's Life", in that the teaser is not a variation of the thumbnail, but rather a screenshot from the episode. Bell also appears in both teasers.
- The font for this episode's teaser, a variant of Albertus, is also the same font that was used for BFB's logo rather than the font that was used in the teasers for five previous TPOT episodes.
- This is the second elimination for Are You Okay and Team8s.
- By this episode's elimination, all teams have at most five members.
- This is the last single digit TPOT episode.
- This is the last TPOT episode released in the year 2023.
- This is the first odd-numbered TPOT episode where Bottle does not die.
- Compared to the rest of the season, this episode currently has the smallest vote margin in TPOT, with only a 3 vote difference between the two lowest ranking members of Are You Okay.
- However, "Who Stole Donut's Diary?" still holds the record for the closest vote margin of the series, as the bottom two had a one vote difference.
- "Barriers and Pitfalls" also had a 3 vote difference between the bottom two.
- This is the first time Pen has been capless in TPOT, and the second time ever, previously seen capless in BFB 4.
- This is the first episode to have a single team up for elimination after double eliminations were introduced.
- This is the 2nd episode of TPOT to release on the 18th of a month, the first being "The Worst Day of Black Hole's Life", which released on June 18, 2022.
- This is the first episode to release on December in the year that ends with 3.
- This is the first episode where the host is included in the challenge.
- Every original Squishy Cherry that competes in TPOT has now been safe with the most votes at least once.
- Pen is the only contestant on both teams who saw a decrease in their votes from their last Cake at Stake.
- Golf Ball is the third contestant to start the TPOT intro, as well as the first member of Are You Okay to do so.
- This is also the third time a character voiced by Michael Huang starts the intro after Four and Donut in "The Great Goikian Bake-Off" and "Balancing P.A.C.T." respectively.
- Coincidentally, the bottom two of this episode are similar to previous episodes:
- For Are You Okay: Golf Ball and Puffball were in the bottom two in "Well Rested". Coincidentally, Puffball was also eliminated against Golf Ball in this episode.
- For Team8s: Needle and Coiny were in the bottom two in "Puzzling Mysteries". Instead of Needle, Coiny was eliminated this time.
- This is the second time Puffball and Rocky were eliminated back-to-back. This episode has Puffball being eliminated after Rocky in "Balancing P.A.C.T.", rather than the opposite occurrence in Season 2, where Puffball is eliminated in "Well Rested", and then Rocky in "Intruder Alert".
- This is the first episode to have two BFDI/A contestants eliminated at once.
- This is the first video where One makes an on-screen appearance as a non-recommended character since "X Finds Out His Value".
- This is the first episode where One has a speaking role.
- This episode appears to have a much darker atmosphere than the previous TPOT episodes, being more akin to various moments and scenes from BFDIA. This is likely due to the challenge, which is a zombie apocalypse-like scenario, and more horror-themed scenes and music that make the episode much different than the others.
- Furthermore, this episode mirrors "The Four is Lava" in a way that both challenges are based on apocalyptic events.
- Not only that, but this episode also has parallels between "Don't Dig Straight Down", as there is various moments in both episodes where there is a darker undertone to them.
- Both teams with only 4 members (and furthermore the least contestants on a team at this moment) placed better than the rest this episode.
- This is the first episode to (barely) include a failed debuter in the thumbnail, that being Rubber Spatula.
- Are You Okay has the single lowest vote difference between the most and least voted contestant in the series, excluding BFDI, being 72.
- This is the second time a team was tricked into thinking they had to kill each other for the challenge; the first time being with FreeSmart in "Intruder Alert".
- Coincidentally, Book was on both teams.
- This is the second BFDI episode in which a team does not do the challenge that was announced. The first is "Intruder Alert".
- Book is the only contestant to be a member of both these teams, being murdered second each time by being torn apart.
- Remote is the only member of Death P.A.C.T. who doesn't make a physical appearance in this episode.
- Just like in "This Episode Is About Basketball", it is not until 8 episodes after the first one of the season that Cloudy's collection is seen again. This time, in contrast to "This Episode Is About Basketball," Cloudy's collection serves a major purpose, rather than being involved as a one-off gag.
- It may also be the last time it is seen in a while, as it has been destroyed by a giant zombified Snowball when used as a barricade by Black Hole.
- This is the first TPOT episode to have a contestant who is still in the game not speak for the entire episode which is the case with Fanny (not counting Rocky or Teardrop).
- However, unlike in pre-split BFB where characters not talking or even appearing happened very often, there is an actual reason for Fanny not talking as she still had no mouth.
- This is the first TPOT episode to start with a vowel.
- This is the first 2023+ episode to reach 100 thousand likes.
- This is also the most viewed 2023 Jacknjellify video, surpassing "Well Rested".
- "I SAID CAREFUL!!!" reveals that Puffball was eventually recovered and sent back to the elimination area.
- It’s likely that Coiny was also recovered, though this has not yet been confirmed.
Eliminations[]
Puffball's Elimination[]
- Puffball is the first ball to be eliminated in this season.
- Puffball is the third flying contestant to be eliminated, after Cloudy in Gardening Zero and Lightning in The Seven Wonders of Goiky.
- Due to Puffball being eliminated, this is her second time getting eliminated. Her first elimination was in the BFDIA episode, Well Rested.
- With Puffball gone, Black Hole is the only flying contestant still competing in TPOT.
- Black Hole is also the highest ranking flying contestant with Puffball gone.
- The only balls still competing in TPOT are Basketball, Golf Ball, Snowball, and Tennis Ball.
- Puffball is the second limbless contestant to eliminated after Cloudy.
- Puffball is the seventh female contestant to be eliminated after Pie, Foldy, Saw, Naily, Remote, and Eggy.
- This is also the first time where a female contestant got eliminated since The Great Goikian Bake-Off.
- Puffball is the third contestant voiced by Michael Huang to be eliminated after Cloudy in Gardening Zero and Fries in The Great Goikian Bake-Off.
- Puffball is the second contestant to be eliminated in both BFDIA and TPOT, after Rocky in Balancing P.A.C.T..
Coiny's Elimination[]
- This is the first time Coiny has been eliminated in 13 years, since A Leg Up in the Race.
- This might change if he gets eliminated in BFDIA.
- Coiny is the fourth contestant in a row to be eliminated on The Losers!.
- Coiny was the also the last male member of The Losers! to be eliminated which means that there are no more male members of The Losers!.
- Coiny is the second member of the Squashy Grapes to be eliminated. The first was Rocky in Balancing P.A.C.T..
- Due to Coiny's elimination, the only money related contestants left are Nickel (until the next episode) and Price Tag.
- Coiny is the third BFDIA contestant to be eliminated in a row, after Rocky and Puffball.
- Coiny is the second W.O.A.H. Bunch member to be eliminated after Rocky.
- Coiny is the fourth contestant voiced by Michael Huang to be eliminated after Cloudy, Fries, and Puffball.
- With Coiny eliminated, he is the fourth (and last) contestant whose's name starts with "C" to eliminated, after Cloudy in Gardening Zero, Clock in The Seven Wonders of Goiky, and Cake in Balancing P.A.C.T.. Meaning there are no more contestants who's name starts with "C".
Teardrop's Elimination[]
- Due to Teardrop being eliminated (along with Puffball and Coiny), this marks the first triple elimination in BFDI history.
- Teardrop is now the first and currently only contestant to be eliminated in all 5 seasons. All her eliminations were in these episodes:
- BFDI: Crybaby!
- BFDIA: Zeeky Boogy Doog
- IDFB: Still in the TLC
- BFB: SOS (Save Our Show)
- TPOT: This episode.
- With Teardrop eliminated, Ice Cube is the only water based contestant still competing in TPOT.
- Teardrop is the eighth female contestant to be eliminated in TPOT, after Pie, Foldy, Saw, Naily, Remote, Eggy, and Puffball.
- Teardrop is the second contestant who can't talk to be eliminated after Rocky.
- Teardrop is the first contestant who's name starts with "T" to be eliminated.
- This is the first time Teardrop doesn't make it higher than 20th.
- In BFDI, she got 18th place.
- In BFDIA, she got 20th place.
- In IDFB, she got 4th (to be freed from the TLC).
- In BFB, she got 3rd place.
- In TPOT, she got 29th place.
- This is the first time that a BFDI contestant has been eliminated as a direct result of losing the episode's main contest, sine Teardrop was the only member of her team when she lost the challenge.
- Teardrop is the only contestant to be eliminated without ever getting a single vote, as explained that Teardrop was the only member of her team.
Continuity references[]
- Barf Bag remains empty after the previous episode.
- Two saying that Pen's name should be carved into the stakes is a reference to "Power of Three", in which Pen's name is written in the Cake at Stake prize.
- Coiny and Needle making sounds of panic while in the bottom two might also be a reference to "Power of Three" when the two of them (and Ice Cube) made similar panicking sounds in the voting screen after they lost.
- Pin reassuring Coiny about his safety in slow-motion right before he gets eliminated mirrors "Zeeky Boogy Doog" and “Lots of Mud”, where Pin does the exact same thing to Teardrop before her elimination.
- In the scene where Gaty attempts to confront Two (at 14:23), the background music is a distorted version of the background music that has played in previous episodes of Gaty and Two having a conversation on a pink couch, specifically "The Worst Day of Black Hole's Life" and "Balancing P.A.C.T.".
- Fanny's mouth is still missing since the previous episode, "Balancing P.A.C.T.".
- Eraser's line about Teardrop playing a great game is a reference to the episodes "Return of the Hang Glider" and "SOS (Save Our Show)".
- When Eraser and Teardrop slap each other, they reused the same animation from "Lofty" with Firey and Coiny.
- Tree has grown even larger since "Balancing P.A.C.T.", to the point where he is so large that Marker and Fanny look very tiny compared to him.
- It is likely that he’ll grow even more as episodes pass.
- The challenge for this episode is very similar to the synopsis in "Don't Dig Straight Down", since the latter episode mostly involves magma surrounding the area, and a character can get killed if they touch the magma (unless they're made of metal), making the zombie infection similar to the magma purge, except a contestant doesn't get killed if they get infected, but they will end up becoming a zombie.
- Pillow assuming the challenge is to kill everybody on her team is a reference to Ruby doing the same thing in "Intruder Alert".
- Cloudy's collection is seen still laying on green grass. This is a reference how his collection was never touched by lava in "The Four is Lava".
- When Bomby lights his fuse to kill Pillow (and himself in the process), he says "Oh no, I just lit my fuse!" This is most likely a reference to him saying "OH NO FIREY, YOU LIT MY FUSE!!!"
- Teardrop's running animation in "Getting Teardrop to Talk" is once again reused when she sacrifices herself by having her be absorbed by Barf Bag's innards to save everyone that got zombified.
- Price Tag and Needle make reference to the fact that Gelatin sold shades, with Price Tag using one themself.
- Also, the remains of Barbecue Sauce are shown and used by Price Tag to incapacitate Pillow temporarily. This may hint at Barbecue Sauce's fate following "Meaty".
- Needle mentions the color-changing shades, also from "Meaty".
- The Snowy Tundra from "Gardening Zero" appears in this episode.
- When the members of Team8s shake their heads, they do the same pose as they did during the cast's reaction to Four saying "Let's play a game" in "Getting Teardrop to Talk".
- When Two says that Teardrop died, the contestants gasp in the same way the did when Two said that Teardrop will be instantly eliminated in "Balancing P.A.C.T."
- When Teardrop smashes through the window, she slaps Golf Ball just like she did when Golf Ball said she should be on her own team, all by herself, as punishment for joining late in "The Worst Day of Black Hole's Life".
- This is the second time that Teardrop and Puffball are eliminated 2 eliminations apart; the first time was in BFDIA.
Cultural references[]
- The plot of the episode revolves around a zombie apocalypse, a trope commonly seen in many other media.
- Just Not's parts in the episode, where Pillow goes rogue and kills the members of her team, resemble a serial killer horror film, another trope.
- While Book was crossing through the trash, in the Steakhouse, she flinched when the Drive-Thru Sign popped out of the rubble, this may be a reference to Specimen 1 (Cardboard Cutouts) from “Spooky’s Jumpscare Mansion”.
- At 12:23, TV plays the United States Army Band's bugle call named "Taps".
- The "Pin Gray Bubble Bubble Pen" musical performance Cary Huang did with his Pin, Bubble, and II Nickel plushies at the end of the video is a parody to Pikotaro's famous single Pen Pineapple Apple Pen.
- The scene where the zombified Snowball points at Bell and Basketball appears similar to a scene from the Teen Titans Go! episode, "Brain Food" where Cyborg points at a seagull and exclaims, "Guys, look! A birdie!", followed by Robin and Cyborg making an attempt to "catch it". It could also be a nod to the guy pointing in the Soyjaks Pointing meme.
Goofs[]
- When the contestants are running away (at 0:58), Snowball is not made of Yoyle Metal.

- Fanny is still listed in the credits despite not having any speaking roles, due to her mouth being torn off in the previous episode.
- 9-Ball's asset is flipped.
- Teardrop's asset can be seen slightly clipping below the Recovery Center's flap when Eraser consoles her before her elimination.
- The roof on the bathrooms was somehow fixed even though it never got a proper fix and the hotel guests escaped.
- At 22:02, Pin appears from the water, even though in the scene before she was above water.
