Plot

Spoiler "We signed a no spoiler contract!" The post-obit data may contain spoilers. Please read at your own gamble if yous have yet to watch the content the post-obit information originates from.

A timer on MePad'south screen counts down from 10 while nervous members of the Vivid Lights watch. Once the timer reaches nil, Marshmallow is alleged eliminated by MePhone4, as she is disqualified for not returning to the competition since the previous episode, making her the 12th contestant eliminated from Inanimate Insanity Two. MePhone4 proceeds to intermission upward the teams, symbolized past eating 2 cookies with the team logos and leaves to permit the alter sink in. Lightbulb tries to comfort Paintbrush, upset afterward Marshmallow'southward elimination, only the chat information technology backfires every bit Paintbrush suggests that the two might benefit from working individually since they're both vastly different people. Lightbulb facade a positive look and understands the proposal. Paintbrush walks off, leaving Lightbulb incredibly upset by the issue.

Microphone and Taco loiter outside the Dr. Fizz Automobile and hash out competing without teams and returning the Temporary Paralyzer, much to Taco'southward dislike, as it's implied she previously stole it. Taco enters a passcode and Microphone is whisked away into the machine. She arrives inside Test Tube's Laboratory and is confronted past Examination Tube, angered that her laboratory is no longer secret. Microphone quickly returns the Temporary Paralyzer and takes an interest in an unfinished invention, which Test Tube accidentally admits is a Time Machine. Taco becomes interested after overhearing about the Fourth dimension Motorcar and arrives inside the laboratory right as Lightbulb barges in from a back door after collecting several cans of Dr. Fizz. Afterward coughing up Baxter, Lightbulb asks Test Tube, who is furious that her secret lab is no pretty much longer private, how much she owes and turns on the Time Machine mistaking it for a calculator. Test Tube attempts to end her but is defenseless in a time portal and disappears with Lightbulb and Baxter. Taco hesitantly approaches the portal, mentioning she might have a second gamble, but doesn't enter in fourth dimension.

Test Tube, Lightbulb, and Baxter all of a sudden appear in the middle of the events of "The Crappy Cliff", the showtime episode of Inanimate Insanity. Test Tube is initially happy that her Time Machine worked but quickly scolds Lightbulb for taking them at that place.

Dorsum in the lab, Microphone panics while Taco calms her non to worry, praising her for getting rid of 2 contestants at once. Microphone questions why Taco reached for the portal, merely Taco quickly dismisses this and begins to explore the lab, trying out different gadgets like the Invisa-bow. Microphone notwithstanding expresses her worries near how to explain the event to others, just Taco hushes her and provides "zilch" as the excuse.

In the past, by-MePhone4 explains the challenge, jumping off a 50-pes cliff. Lightbulb explains the claiming to Test Tube, who is unimpressed and questions the lifelessness of the past contestants. As the challenge begins, Lightbulb waves at by-Paintbrush, prompting them to ask a question. Test Tube apace stops Lightbulb, explaining she shouldn't interfere with the past in whatever style, fifty-fifty breaking on a twig. As if on cue, Test Tube then accidentally breaks a twig and frantically starts to set information technology. Lightbulb, upon hearing by-Salt and past-Pepper'south chat, frowns and starts to walk in their management.

Dorsum in nowadays 24-hour interval, MePad displays the painting challenge won after showing the votes. MePhone4 summons the materials simply is interrupted past MePad, who alerts him to the missing contestants. Angered, MePhone4 reinstates the "Her Loss!" Clause (at present renamed to "Their Loss!"), that if they'll exist disqualified if not back before the end of the challenge. Microphone rapidly comes running in, pretending she had been hither the whole fourth dimension. Knife, suspicious, asks if she knows were Lightbulb and Test Tube went. She denies knowing anything. Fan panics about Test Tube'southward absence, while Paintbrush initially worries but dismisses information technology to focus on the challenge without distraction.

Back in the past, past-Salt and past-Pepper echo their conversation about cliff jumping, just are interrupted by Lightbulb, who gives them a pep talk and then pushes them off the cliff and into the water, causing them to win the contest, and therefore, pick the teams. Lightbulb cheers at first but and so realizes what she had done. Test Tube, who melded together the twig she broke, runs over in a panic, not sure if that the events were supposed to happen or not. Lightbulb then says that it actually wasn't supposed to happen and Exam Tube, panicking more than, gets out her time machine, hoping that the nowadays didn't change too much.

The time auto activates and the duo appears in a strange country, and are immediately met by Thermos, who screams loudly, and Frank, who calmly welcomes them. Lightbulb, unfazed, reassures a shocked Exam Tube that this seemed right. A spotlight suddenly opens on Table salt and Pepper, who brainstorm to innovate their show, but seem to forget the name. Chives, their assistant, tediously reminds them of the proper noun, and the two finally remember, and innovate Inanimate Insanity Infinity, followed by their own curated intro.

Lightbulb and Examination Tube are met by Kumquat, who excitedly welcomes them in a fast and erratic manner. Test Tube notes the strangeness of the new universe, upsetting Shell, who notes that information technology's supposed to exist appealing but is nonetheless looking for new ideas. A darkness overshadows the group as an echoing vox is heard, revealed to be Blackness Hole, who complains that they don't get enough screen fourth dimension, shocking Test Tube and ticking off Red Low-cal. Bandana spots the new duo and questions if MePhone7 asked for them. MePhone7 responds simply past violently shaking and buzzing, which Hay Bale surely interprets as a "yes". Examination Tube, still perplexed by the new universe, begins to take a breakdown, while Lightbulb misinterprets this to intermission the Time Machine.

Salt and Pepper then decide to have their ain exclusive challenge, a fashion show, created by MePhone7. The other contestants complain that they can't even participate. Lightbulb happily tells them not to fret and that they can become attention as a squad, who agree to practice and then subsequently meeting Baxter. Test Tube, in utter disbelief, argues that they shouldn't even be real. Lightbulb decides that this reality may be better, much to Test Tube'south acrimony. The rest of the contestants take off with Lightbulb to engage in fun activities, leaving Test Tube alone.

Afterward, atop a Salt and Pepper shaped mountain, Lightbulb recalls her talk with Paintbrush and vents to the contestants, who blindly concord with her. Lightbulb then complains about Test Tube also upset with her, though Kumquat brushes it off and blames her emotions, noting her as one of "those ones", prompting Lightbulb to worry. Meanwhile, Test Tube is alone working on her Fourth dimension Machine and is confronted by Common salt and Pepper, who are suspicious of her. After explaining that Test Tube rational listen doesn't fit into their algorithm, they order Chives to necktie her up and drags her to the elimination surface area.

Equally "Emptying Time!" begins, all contestants and Lightbulb are summoned to the emptying area to witness Exam Tube tied to a pole. Salt and Pepper irrefutably decide that Test Tube is eliminated, much to the delight of the contestants, though shocking Lightbulb. Salt and Pepper and then give Test Tube the choice between two portals; she may enter Black Hole and exist permanently eliminated, or enter a smaller Pink Pigsty, which would accept her back to cull between the ii options once more, causing a never-ending chain that would eventually end with Option 1. As Test Tube argues confronting the brutal emptying, Lightbulb steps forrard, advocating that this has gone besides far, though Hay Bale and Kumquat detect this humorous and laugh at her. Test Tube, now frustrated, yells at Lightbulb for being able to solve issues with her quirks and nonsensicality, deeply upsetting Lightbulb.

Salt cuts the two off for taking up too much of their fame. Lightbulb concurs and notes that Salt's fashion show is more important, provoking Pepper to correct Lightbulb that the manner show was both of theirs. Lightbulb disagrees and begins to demean Pepper

and praise Salt as a leader, while Test Tube joins in the bantering, angering Pepper yet highly-seasoned to Common salt, who agrees that Pepper merely latched onto her. In a fit of anger, Pepper punches Table salt, knocking her into Blackness Pigsty. The contestants cheer in please while Test Tube and Lightbulb stand up in daze, quickly fixing the Time Auto with Lightbulb'south electricity and travel dorsum to "The Crappy Cliff".

After Test Tube forgives Lightbulb and they begin to encounter heart-to-eye, they figure out a program to fix time and correct everything back as it used to be. Using Test Tube's liquid, they turn Baxter vivid green; Lightbulb tosses Baxter into the water, where past-Salt and by-Pepper are. Exam Tube, hiding in a bush, shouts out a false warning to the others, frightening them of Baxter. Lightbulb demands past-MePhone4 shoots a retake, causing Salt and Pepper to redo their jumps, setting everything back to normal. Exam Tube and Lightbulb then return back to the present.

In the present, Paintbrush struggles to think of something to paint and Fan asks, claiming to Fan that they need opposition. Paintbrush then throws a glob of yellow pigment onto their canvas to start with something and ponders what MePhone4 would like, giving them an idea. Meanwhile, Suitcase asks Microphone what she's painting and Microphone answers in an annoyed tone. Knife questions Microphone about her lateness to the challenge and again, she doesn't tell the truth.

With x seconds left, Lightbulb and Test Tube run in and both quickly paint something. Time runs out and MePhone4 proceeds to judge the paintings, starting with Suitcase'southward just isn't impressed. MePhone4 moves on to Paintbrush's painting, who decided to paint Steve Cobs. MePhone4 cuts Paintbrush off and gives their painting a zero, causing Paintbrush'due south head to flare-up into flames, setting the rest of the canvases on fire. Since Suitcase was the only i who got a score, MePhone4 gives her amnesty.

Microphone begins to sneak back off to the forest but is stopped by Knife, now very suspicious. Microphone panics and runs into the wood. Meanwhile, Fan and Test Tube talk over the misuse of fourth dimension travel, as Test Tube defends that they should never apply information technology again. Baseball walks by, visibly mad, shouts at the two that he wishes he was in an alternating timeline since he hates the one he'southward in. In the woods, Microphone confronts Taco to discuss Pocketknife's suspicion. Taco doubts Pocketknife is a danger, just immediately realizes Knife is eavesdropping on their chat. Knife, unfazed by Taco's presence, casually walks away. Taco then tells Microphone she has a plan.

At the Calm-Downwardly Corner, Paintbrush reconnects with Lightbulb and apologizes to her for not working together, maxim that they are used to doing things differently. Lightbulb understands and begins to refer to Paintbrush every bit a guy, causing them to raise an eyebrow. After a moment of thinking, Lightbulb realizes that Paintbrush meant "C: None of the in a higher place". Paintbrush explains why they don't bring information technology upwardly because the other objects don't know that there is a "C", just Lightbulb claims that Baxter knows there's a C, for without it, he would just be a "rab".

The real elimination begins as MePhone4 reads out the votes. Microphone receives i vote, Knife and Baseball get two, and Paintbrush is the thirteenth contestant eliminated from Inanimate Insanity 2 with 3. As they walk to the Rejection Portal, Lightbulb offers Baxter to them as a thank-y'all gesture and says if they ever feel down, they should look at Baxter to calm them down. Paintbrush takes one last expect at Fan, Exam Tube, and Lightbulb, and walks into the portal equally Lightbulb leans on Exam Tube.

After the credits, Pepper asks Salt if she always had the thought of ruling the world if they wanted to, but Salt shrugs it off. Paintbrush enters the hotel, and upon seeing Baxter, the 2 both shriek in terror.
