MEPHONE4: Balloon vs. Goo!
Hurry this up! You two are, like, the LEAST intimidating matchup possible.
BALLOON: Not intimidating?!
Oh, watch this!
[BALLOON SCREAMS]
[GOO SCREAMS]
CLOVER: Five hours in and they're still evenly matched!
Hah! It's beautiful!
This is why there should be no luck!
THE FLOOR: Well... you can't get rid of luck.
But... what if you could equally distribute it?
THE FLOOR, YIN & CANDLE: Hmm...
CANDLE: Yes.
Stop tempting yourselves with corrupt magic!
Don't listen to them, Clover.
Your luck NEEDED to go.
CLOVER: I agree, Nickel. That's exactly what I've been hoping for.
Well, your wish came true.
...wait.
I've always wanted an awar-
Don't say it or it'll come true, you Lucky Luck!
I wish you weren't like this.
Me too, Silver...
Me too...
Y- y-....
You're the reason everyone died!
CLOVER: What...?
You wished for a luckless life.
So fortune... TWISTED fortune...
... granted your wish... in the only way it knew how!
First by killing, and then by swapping!
And now? You stand before us...
... cosplaying the less fortunate!
But I know who you really are...
Nothing but a privileged...
MURDERER!!!
Thoughts?
CANDLE: Even if that were true...
... we know Clover would not have caused such damage consciously.
CLOVER: Doesn't matter...
Here I thought I finally stopped ruining lives...
... but instead...
... I ENDED THEM ALL!
[CLOVER CRIES]
Thinkers! Balloon finally won the slowest race ever!
I thought it sucked.
But Ballpoint Pen called it "bold" and "experimental!"
We only have one round left, and if we stick the landing here,
I bet we'll win so many Groscers, I.I. will run FOREVER!
Well now we'll need to actually roleplay, cause there aren't any real body swaps left!
YIN: What do you mean? What about us?
... what.
YANG: Yin and I SWAPPED with each other! Didn't you notice?
W- we can't even tell!
YIN: Well trust us, WE can.
YANG: Yin is the darker half, I'm the lighter half?
YANG: It just feels SO WRONG!
YIN: But also... so right?
YIN: Almost like we were meant to be this way in the first place.
Okay, Yin-Yang, you're in.
Now Bow, I know you're in your own body.
But can you just try to play it up like you don't belong in there?
Uh, yeah! You got it.
Thanks Bow, I can always count on your silliness.
Aaaand finally, the most mismatched combination of all...
Yin-Yang vs. Bow!
Uh! Ahh no! What's with these triangles?
I can't balance!
YANG: Oh, don't get me started on balance!
YANG: How do you move your stupid leg, Yin?!
YIN: Uh, I don't know! It's always been a struggle!
YANG: Really? ...I never knew your leg felt that way, Yin.
YIN: There's a lot you don't know about me, Yang.
YIN: Over on the right side.
YANG: ... wow. I promise, I'll treat you better...
YANG: ...now that I know... how the other half lives.
[PAT PAT]
CANDLE: Yin and Yang, I think this positioning has made you both all the more mindful.
And these eyelashes aren't me at all!
And don't get me started on the-
Uh...
Timeout!
Uh, don’t worry! Our television broadcast will be right back after these messages!
Quick, throw something on! From the archives! A-ANYTHI-
Hi everyone!
I'm here with something that will make you REALLY COOL!
It's a chair! :)
Bow... there's something I've been meaning to talk to you about...
Regarding your... aura...
Yeah, it's missing. I know.
And that's not all I figured out.
Test Tube, why'd you save my life earlier?
TEST TUBE: B-... because I had to!
Because you HAD to.
You knew MePhone couldn't bring me back.
You knew I came back a different way.
A way you didn't want me to know.
And that is why your luck burnt my file!
TEST TUBE: I- d-... Bow...
Please... just let me explain...
[SIGH]
Your death was a tragedy, Bow.
Fan never accepted it so... neither could I.
But with my technical ability, and his knowledge of all the things you used to do and say…
... we saw an opportunity to right a wrong…
... and solve the problem.
It wasn't easy, especially since... well...
Not too long ago... we went through another loss...
And we know that they can never come back to us
which... is when we realized…
... maybe… you could give us someone to care for again.
CANDLE: So when Bow was invited to this island... you brought her along.
But weren’t you worried some might not believe she was really back?
TEST TUBE: No.
Because essentially, you’re the same Bow they knew and loved.
The only difference… is that robotic shell... you’re in now.
So you're saying I'm the same as Bow? But... a robot?
A... Bowbot?
TEST TUBE: Yes, I- I'm sorry. I've been looking for the right time to-
Bow and I aren't the same though!
There are things from her life I can’t remember, or hear, or see!
TEST TUBE: I adjusted the program to try to block out everything related to how you died.
That way, nothing could ever remind you.
Nothing could've reminded me, cause I don't have her MIND!
Just cause you programmed me with some catchphrases she used to say,
doesn’t make me her!
TEST TUBE: Please! B-Bow, just-
I’m sorry for whatever loss you went through.
But right now? You're VERY lucky...
Cause at the end of the day, MePhone can put you all back in your own bodies.
But me? ...I'll be stuck here.
In a body that's isn't mine.
Because I'm.
NOT.
BOW.
CANDLE: Shhh...
I feel it coming to the surface.
I couldn't sense it before...
... but it was always there...
TEST TUBE: What is? A-
-are you saying that Bow DOES have an aura?
CANDLE: Weren't you listening?
That is not Bow.
Yet those expectations repressed the aura… the TRUE self…
... until now.
TEST TUBE: But... how do you know?
CANDLE: Well... how do I know that you're Test Tube?
TEST TUBE: B-because...
Because I know.
CANDLE: Beautiful... isn't it?
TEST TUBE: Clover! Have you seen- um...
Hey, you know... I'm a real hypocrite.
I got so mad at Cabby for expecting everyone to be exactly how she wrote them to be,
and here I was expecting you to be exactly how I programmed you to be.
Look I-, I know I can’t make up for what I did…
... but I want to use whatever I can offer to... help you...
... BE you...
Then it sounds like we're on the right track.
What's going on here!?
We need to- !
Please MePhone, don't make me go back out there.
Don't worry. I'll take care of it.
So... is this final round resuming?
MEPHONE: Yes, sorry uh... technical difficulties.
The timeout expires... now!
YIN: We did it! Such a satisfying ending!
Hey! Pretty great how they were all out there on that bridge, right? Your favorite game!
My favorite game?
Oh uh, don't you- uh...
Don't you love that game with...
... the bridge???
BRIDGE THE CARD GAME.
Was all this you just GUESSING what "bridge" was?!
Wha- what would you prefer?
Wait! Don't go!
They could still play cards instead!
I don't WANT cards!
You shouldn’t be making something for me. You’re supposed to make something you actually believe in.
Maybe it’ll be enjoyed, maybe it won’t, but... you can’t control that.
And when you try to control it, you forget the most important part of creating:
If you're not having a ball, then really...
... what's the point?
Oh. Almost forgot. Your review.
YANG: Uh, hello? MePhone? Where's our confetti?
You do realize your team still lost, right? 3 to 2.
Meaning The Thinkers are up for elimination.
YANG: Yeah, but... Yin and I had a PERSONAL victory! And that is worth celebrating!
SILVER SPOON: Yes, I learned a valuable lesson about myself as well.
To make my inner flame powers take hold, it wasn’t about getting rid of the flame on the outside.
No, all I truly needed from the start…
WAS A BIGGER FLAME!
Now the Groscer is mine for sur- whoops.
[ALL SCREAM]
Well, while it’s unfortunate the exact same group suffered a second deadly incident today,
at least that HORRIBLE fire gave me a chance to revive you each one at a time.
Anyway, while you didn't win the challenge Yin-Yang,
you DID win immunity.
So who is eliminated? Let's find out.
First vote...
Um...
I think I know what's going on here.
It's okay.
I allow it to happen.
MEPHONE4: Clover.
Clover.
That's three votes Clover.
The eighth contestant eliminated is...
Clover.
Sorry Clover... we all could see the game was torturing you.
You tried so hard to fix yourself but... look, now I get it.
The problem isn't you, Clover. It's just your luck.
Well, the problem with my luck is that... no one else could have it.
But today... a friend in my place made me realize...
... the luck doesn't have to be all mine.
So...
Nickel, from this day on...
...and for the rest of your life...
...I wish you... luck.
No... you're- you're bluffing!
Since when could you do THIS?!
I was so guilty about hurting others.
I never thought about helping them!
So now, I wish you all lu-
NO, you- !
You cast a spell on me but I won't let you do it to them, you WITCH!
Aw... still thinking it's a curse?
One day you too will learn to share the wealth, Nickel.
Alright!
Cordelia!
Catalina!
Cassandra!
Jake.
Let's fly!
♪ Until next tiiiiiiime! ♪
[NICKEL CRIES]
What a day! I can't believe we were all on TV!
I hope it can happen again!
Mm, no need.
We only had to air once for the awards eligibility.
Oh, yeah! I forgot, broadcast television is dead. Oof.
Wonder if anyone even watched.
Good morrow, potential new viewers!
The special television episode of I.I.I. is about to begin!
BOW: Eh... not interested.
Hey everyone! It's me, it's Brian. I hope you enjoyed "Out of Body Experience."
I loved writing this episode. You know, for research, I actually signed up for a "body swap seminar."
But when I got there, they actually turned me away at the door because they said they didn't know who I was.
That's how good they were. It was SUCH an immersive experience. Would highly recommend. It was just fantastic.
But anyway, voting. So you got two teams to vote for this time:
The Pinkers and The Thinkers. So what you're gonna wanna do is vote to save one contestant on each of those two teams.
But don't think that relieves you of your liking and subscribing duties - you gotta do that too, please do that for me.
And yeah, oh one other thing.
I know in the past I said I was gonna take a picture and send it to each and every one of you but
there's just so many of you so here's what I think we should do instead:
I'll actually take a GROUP picture of all of us by the Bridge of Empathy.
It's gonna go so well, there is no precedent for this going poorly in the past.
Nothing's gonna fall over, it's gonna go so great, so come join me.
It's a group picture everyone, GROUP PICTURE! Here we go, GROUP PICTURE!
