The Spirit of the Cabin Summary
The show starts by playing character creator, where we get to make a some sort of creature (A Shark, Pickle, Lobster creature) . After this, the title card plays and Ranboo wakes up in an cabin on a couch with a mechanical mask strapped to his face. He steps outside into a green forest and when he hears a noise he rushes back inside.A vase falls and breaks, and when Ranboo goes to touch it he flies back and goes 'this wasn't supposed to happen!' before seemingly resetting and saying he's got to find some keys. In the bottom of the screen the Showfall mascot (lovingly named Squiggle) gives random commentary. He explores the cabin, and finds 3 keys. Notably when he goes to the window sill to get a key there's a shadow of a horned creature, though it seems as if Ranboo doesn't notice it at all.He goes through the door once again and when he goes through he winds up on a beach with a red sky. He pockets some sand and heads back into the cabin. When all keys are collected he moves to unlock a door to another room, but before he can a green goop covered Slimecicle (who is a ghost? or demon? goop monster?) bursts down the door. They talk for a moment, and Slimecicle tells him to leave. Ranboo goes through the front door yet again, and this time when he exits he's in hell. Like literal hell. He goes back into the house and they both move to the kitchen.Slimecicle tells Ranboo that he can leave as soon as he does something for him: a cooking challenge? Ranboo attempts to cook using items provided by the fridge and chosen by chat. Eventually Ranboo finishes cooking and gives Slimecicle the dish. Slimecicle eats it and says it's the best thing he's ever eaten and tells Ranboo he's free to go.He goes through the door yet again and this time it leads to the slime dimension. After he speaks to Ranboo he goes through the door and returns to the cabin. When he returns, Slimecicle is entirely gone, though some goop remains. The tv suddenly turns on and a hooded figure tells him that he's doing well and that 'they' (a different entity, not the hooded figure) are entertained. They tell Ranboo to not resist and that they'll be in touch soon. The program suddenly cuts out to a technical difficulties screen and when it turns back on, Ranboo is asleep on the couch again.He walks through the main area and the kitchen and heads down to the new area: the basement. He explores and finds Sneeg: some guy locked in the basement. Ranboo looks around and finds a lock cutter. He frees Sneeg and after a moment, Slimecicle pops up from the boxes. He slimes Sneeg and turns him evil, starting a battle between Ranboo and 'Evil' Sneeg. Ranboo wins and wipes off the slime, causing Sneeg to return to normal. Slimecicle complains and leaves.They leave the basement, and explore more. They attempt to go through the bolted door and are rendered unable before remembering the bolt cutters. Ranboo cuts through the chains and they go into a new room, being a bedroom. It seems to be Slimecicle's bedroom. They explore as a disembodied Slimecicle voice makes jabs at him. Ranboo finds a knife and pockets it. Chat decides to make Ranboo sleep and he goes to bed right on Slimecicles bed. Slimecicle pokes at the wall while Sneeg watches and Ranboo... sleeps. Slimecicle and his ghouls push at the wall next to the bed, most notably commenting on how squishy and cutable the wall is.8 hours pass and when Ranboo wakes up Sneeg complains at him about how he managed to sleep through it all. They cut through the wall and when the wall is cut open the creature that was made at the start grabs Sneeg and presumably kills/eats him. The creature then chases Ranboo untill he tricks it into going into the locked area where Sneeg was. He then returns to the area where the creature came from and gets tossed into a Boss Battle with Slimecicle. He manages to beat Slimecicle by tossing a towel onto him.After this, everything begins to glitch yet again. The hooded figure on the tv appears again and tells him that he's doing a good job and that he's made it onto episode 2. They say their name is H and that Ranboo needs to play along. The message ends and Ranboo goes through the front door one last time. When he exits the door he ends up in a warehouse where he is stabbed in the neck with a syringe by rat people and everything fades to black.
The Mastermind of the Warehouse Summary
Ranboo wakes up tied to a chair, in front of a tv. There's a bucket of keys in front of him. The tv turns on and a masked figure tells them that they have an hour to find the key that will let them out of their chains. If they don't get out they'll be shocked to death. The masked figure shocks them and they pass out briefly before waking back up. They start going at the keys and manage to pick out the right key first try. He frees himself and then gets up and turns off the tv.He begins to explore, finding a guy on a surgery table in a new room. There's a TV in there as well, and the masked figure tells him that he needs to find a key in him. The TV turns off on it's own and the guy on the table (Charlie) wakes up. Ranboo cuts open Charlies's stomach and he's full of slime. He starts digging around in his stomach, the guy making commentary on each thing he pulls out. Suddenly the screen starts to glitch and Charlie's stomach goop turns red, simulating blood, and he begins to scream. It goes back to 'normal' and Ranboo continues to dig around in Charlie's stomach.
The TV turns on and the masked figure says that the key was ON Charlie, not IN him. Ranboo complains about the masked figure being unclear. He digs around in the toilet right next to operation bed and finds the key. He enters the next room and finds a group of people tied to a carousel. The TV is broken and the masked figure shows up, turning out to be The Puzzler. He tells Ranboo that he must determine who lives and who dies. They also drag in Charlie from the other room. Ranboo has each person state their case.At one point The Puzzler places a hat (the same hat Sneeg wore during the first episode) on Sneeg and the screen begins to glitch and Squiggle pops up saying 'BAD HAT' over and over. Sneeg suddenly begins to say he needs to use the bathroom, and when they let him go he runs for it. They spin the carousel and everyone begins to wail and sob.Suddenly they hear yelling as Sneeg is dragged back into the room. He's dragged back in by two masked people wearing Squiggle masks. They shove him into a chair and place a Showfall branded mask on his face. Everything freezes as they place Sneeg back in place. Everything returns to normal and Sneeg makes his case.All the others make their case and Chat gets to pick two people to live between Ethan, Austin, Frank, Sneeg, Niki, and Vinny. Niki and Sneeg are chosen to live, and are freed from the cage. Chat has to do a pipe puzzle to help them escape. The puzzle is completed successfully and Ranboo, Niki, and Sneeg go to the next room. They've entered the 'Candy Room' and must play as game called 'Mouse Trap'. They have 2 hours to complete the game by having it run through properly, or they'll die. They begin to put the game together, though the instructions are notably not in English. Ranboo also begins to act off, seeming more out of it and uncaring. They nearly finish the puzzle before realizing they're missing pieces.Ranboo remembers once piece was in Charlie's body, and goes to retrieve it. They're still missing another piece and Niki begins to look though the other door before accidentally entering the room The Puzzler is in and getting shot. She miraculously survives before The Puzzler goes back and kills her. They decide to bring in another person as replacement, this time being Vinny. They complete the trap and enter the next room.As they enter the next room, a person with a Squiggle mask turns Ranboo's mask back on, setting him back to 'normal'. They enter a room with lots of lasers and a diamond. Vinny says to toss him into the lasers and they do so. He managed to survive this, only to be killed by a random falling anvil. Ranboo then tries to properly go through the laser trap, becoming stuck at a point. The towel he had in his pocket holding Slimecicle suddenly begins to speak, and Slime tells him to put him/the towel on the laser machine. Ranboo does so and the towel burns, but he manages to get through the trap. He collects the diamond and Ranboo and Sneeg get beamed into a large closet.The Puzzler comments on their missing party member and brings in the rest of the carousel guests. He tells them all to turn around and announces their only clue that 'appearances aren’t always as they seem and to ‘change your appearance’’. He tells them to turn around and leaves, and they turn back around. They take this literally, dressing up in different clothes from the closet. They bring The Puzzler back in and they show off for him, though he does say that is not what he meant.The Puzzler tells them to turn around again. Ranboo seems off again, and begins to look around. After some more observation, the group starts noticing buttons. They press them and the lights turn into black lights, and there are arrows saying to go into a room. Everyone seems suspicious of it, saying they don’t want to go into the room. They look around, seeming unsure.The Puzzler shows up yet again with his rats, all dressed up. Everyone starts complaining at him, and he pulls out the detonator yet again. They’re told to turn around yet again, and The Puzzler leaves. They continue to explore, Ethan finding a spinning corridor. He gets crushed by the corridor and Austin is the only one to react to this.They press the buttons again, the lights going into black light mode again. This time Ranboo goes through the door, and it turns out it is in fact the solution to the puzzle. Ranboo, Austin, and Sneeg go through and in the new room, there’s toys lining all the walls. The Puzzler shows up on a TV and begins to explain his last puzzle. He explains that they must play with the toys in order of date, but before he can finish his explanation the tv cuts out. Austin is again is the only to react to this. Ranboo’s dialogue becomes even more stilted as they look around.They turn to look at the button that says ‘DO NOT PUSH’ and after a small argument, Austin is coerced into pushing it, revealing a wall hole that can only fit one person. Austin, Sneeg and Ranboo fight to be the one to fit through it, though Austin seems to be the only one actually putting energy into it. Sneeg seems to be holding Austin back in order to help Ranboo, and as such Ranboo winds up being the one fitting through the wall, the other two being crushed.He walks away, finding his way into The Puzzler’s lab. He finds a tape recorder from The Puzzler, telling him that if he’s hearing this The Puzzler’s dead. The Puzzler says to look inside the box that’s on the floor, then inside the box that’s in that box, and then box inside that one. Inside the last box is a key, but before Ranboo can do anything with it, H shows up on the tv, saying that they’ve finally been able to get in. Ranboo looks disoriented as his mask flickers on and off. H explains that ‘they’ve’ been using him as a puppet for twisted entertainment, and that none of this is real. Ranboo is still confused until H announces that he’s ‘done it’.Ranboo’s mask turns off and he’s finally able to see. He turns to stare directly at the camera, and begins to walk slowly past directors until he exits the set and turns to stand on a balcony in front of a giant poster of the Showfall logo. Ranboo exclaims ‘What the FUCK’ and the recording cuts out.
The Choice Summary
The screen turns on, multiple error signs flashing before a drone camera turns on, showing different areas of the Showfall Media Headquarters. It switches to Ranboo, where he rips the dynamite attached to his neck. He walks up to the camera and asks the audience whats happening. As the can’t see chat, he gets no answer and suddenly we can hear H. They explain to Ranboo that they now have control of some of the facility, but still need to shut it down. They need Ranboo to get to the server room in order to take complete control.Ranboo is panicked and attempts to take the mask off, when H tells him he can't yet, or else the entire operation will go up in flames. They also use the mask to communicate Ranboo. He begins to travel, needing to hide from Showfall agents with Squiggle masks. Ranboo peaks at different areas he'd been in, realizing that what happened was actually real. H confirms as such. He spots an exit and attempts to leave, wanting to call the police but H tells him he can't and to keep going. Ranboo doesn’t want to but H suddenly changes his story, saying the others are in fact still alive, and Ranboo (reluctantly) obliges.He goes down the escalator and when he nears a glowing blue mall room, a metal machine with a TV head runs to glass and starts to slam on it. Ranboo panics and H says its just security.
He keeps moving and makes it to the server room. It turns out he needs a keycard in order to get in. Ranboo keeps going, finding an office full of people with Squiggle masks. He seems apprehensive to enter but H says they're 'mostly harmless' as long as he doesn't do anything too entirely out of the ordinary. He has to get a keycard, a USB drive, and a code. He gets the keycard with ease but struggles to find the USB. After a few minutes of searching he finds the USB, and now has to find the code. After a bit more searching he finds 4 different codes and leaves the office.Ranboo returns to the server room and enters with the items he collected. H says to be careful and to plug in the USB. They need to put in a code to the computer, though it’s unclear which code is correct. H gives chat the choice to pick which code to use. Ranboo is instantly unhappy with this, and instead of going with chat's pick, he chooses a different code and unfortunately it’s not the right one. The server shuts down and security gets upped, forcing H to leave. The facility blares and everything flashes red. Ranboo runs away, trying to avoid the Showfall puppets.Suddenly he hears voices coming from the former food court. He finds random streamers, though they cant hear him. He spots Charlie (WHO IS ALSO LIVE ON HIS OWN STREAM ON HIS OWN CHANNEL) and runs up to him. He pulls his headphones off and Charlie breaks out of the illusion, seeming incredibly confused. Ranboo screams at Charlie and tells him that they have to GO. They look for a directory, and after finding one Charlie looks behind the stand and finds a dead Showfall agent. They look over and Ranboo spots the 'security' (the metal TV head machine). They panic and run, starting to get chased by Showfall agents. They hide in a messed up props area and Ranboo picks up a knife while Charlie begs for an explanation. Ranboo says that he doesn’t have one and they go through the exit door in the room, winding back up where Charlie has been streaming.They leave running towards an exit before Showfall agents start chasing them. They wind up running through the rooms of the episode 2, slowing down for a moment before more agents come pouring in. They run down a hallway and turn into a small room where they find H.H has been stabbed and tells them both that he won't make it. They explain Ranboo needs to finish the job by hitting the kill button and hands them a map. Ranboo stares at H’s body before turning and storming off, entirely in his own mind. Charlie rambles behind him, though his words can’t be made out. Ranboo walks right up to a Showfall agent and stabs them directly in the stomach before continuing the search.Ranbooo and Charlie find their way back to the set of the cabin from the first episode, and Security jumps out, attacking Charlie. Before he dies he screams out for Ranboo to hit the kill button. Showfall agents begin to pour in as Ranboo runs for the button. He hits the button and everything goes dark, shutting off for good. Ranboo walks through the rows of deactivated agents, heading towards the genuine exit door. He opens it, and right before he goes through he does a Truman Show style bow, revealing H behind him. His mask, for the first time in this episode, turns back to a glowing red and H drags him through the door.Everything fades to black and when we come back, Ranboo is chained up (Jesus on the Cross style), with his head being in a box, in front of lots of TVs. His mask is slightly broken as well and we hear H. H congratulates Ranboo, saying he completed the experiments. H explains that they never died and that the founder gave them a purpose to create these experiments to find people ‘worthy’ of joining the cast and living (and performing in the future shows) forever. Ranboo begs to be let go as his mask flashes on and off. H goes on to say that Ranboo’s actions we’re entirely his own, and that Ranboo can join the cast. They say that we (the audience) can even decide Ranboo’s fate. The chat gets to vote whether to let him live or die. In the last 30 or so seconds, Ranboo begins to beg and plead to be killed.The vote ends and H flickers onto the screen, announcing that the chat chose death. The box around Ranboo’s head clamps shut, killing him, and the credits roll. After they end, the screen slowly pans out to show a tv, and a gloved hand pulling out a tape from the TV, labeled ‘TSE’ (The Social Experiments). The hand places the tape back on a shelf, where 7 other blank tapes sit, and the stream ends.
