History Recap / TheVentureBrosS3E7WhatGoesDownMustComeUp

* AIIsACrapshoot: Around 40 years ago, MUTHER went rogue and flooded the tunnels beneath the Venture compound with hallucinogenic gas and when reactivated in the present day attempts to perform a nuclear strike on the compound. But while she [[SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome was probably advanced for the time she was created in, she's not very intelligent by today's standards]], and is easily fooled by a recording of Jonas.

'''Doctor Orpheus:''' No, it's because you soiled yourself... ''and'' he's gay.

Venture finds an emergency phone on the wall of the tunnel and it happens to connect to the bunker that Brock is in. They simultaneously ask each other to get them out of their current situation without realizing that the other is also stuck. Venture is then captured by a girl and three men armed with improvised weapons.

Down in the tunnels, Dr. Venture is brought before a group of strange people, dressed either as 1980s musicians or in Rusty Venture t-shirts. They deem Venture to be an unclean outsider, and consult their "father" on what to do with him. They play an old punch card video of Jonas Sr. speaking to a young Rusty about personal hygiene. The captors believe that Jonas (in the video) is their father, and that they are all named Rusty. The actual Rusty removes the punch card, ending the video, and demands that he be returned to the surface.

Venture is being chased by by the crazed orphans and ends up in a dead-end missile silo. He climbs on top of the missile to escape the orphans, only for the missile to begin to launch, revealing that it is the missile that MUTHER threatened Brock and Entmann with earlier. However, the missile, having spent 40+ years abandoned under the compound without maintainence, malfunctions and falls over as soon as it leaves the silo, revealing itself to not be filled with a nuclear payload, but excrement, which spills all over Venture.

The {{Stinger}} shows Venture sealing up the shaft he fell into earlier while explaining to White about how the orphans dumped their waste in the missile so that "father" would make it clean, and attributing their uncanny survival skills to being honorary gold members of the Rusty Venture Fan Club. Venture further reveals to White that in 1978, Jonas Sr. gave the orphans the field trip ended with their entrapment, making the video of Jonas Sr. their only contact with the outside world (alongside [=VH1=] Classics due to cable wire shenanigans, additionally explaining the classic rock icon aesthetics). Meanwhile, Brock and Entmann have set up a video reel of Jonas Sr. in front of MUTHER to keep her occupied.

* RagnarokProofing: Averted. The old missile that MUTHER manages to connect to and launch has spent 40+ years rotting underground and [[ItMakesSenseInContext being used as a communal toilet.]] By the time it actually manages to launch, it barely gets out of the silo before malfunctioning and falling over.

** During the flashback showing MUTHER releasing the gas underground, a similar scene to the infamous "dog costume" one from ''Film/TheShining'' can be seen, only with a cat costume instead.

* WilhelmScream: One can be heard when one of the orphans falls over the railing in the missile silo.

* ADateWithRosiePalms: Apparently, White and Rusty sometimes jerk off to [[ThePeepingTom security footage]] of Brock gettin' it on with [[ReallyGetsAround his various conquests]]. White realizes what he's saying to Hank and Dean before he gets too explicit... and pushes away a conveniently-placed box of tissues.

** In fact, it affects people quite similarly to Scarecrow's toxin in ''Film/BatmanBegins.''

The Triad, meanwhile, have decided to use the drilling machine to try to rescue Brock. Jefferson is able to start and drive the machine with ease, revealing that he used to drive tanks in the military. They begin to drill their way into Brock's bunker.

Venture is being chased by by the crazed orphans and ends up in a dead-end missile silo. The silo houses the missile that MUTHER has threatened to launch. The missile begins to launch, but simply falls over harmlessly once it reaches the surface, spilling the accumulated waste of all the orphans as it does.

The {{Stinger}} shows Venture sealing up the shaft he fell into earlier while talking to White about how the orphans kept their waste in the missile so that "father" would make it clean and how they were honorary gold members of the Rusty Venture Fan Club, thus explaining how they were able to live as long as they did underground. Venture furthers reveals to White that in 1978, Jonas Sr. gave the orphans the field trip that would end up trapping them, making the video of Jonas Sr. their only contact with the outside world (alongside [=VH1=] Classics due to cable wire shenanigans). Meanwhile, Brock and Entmann have set up a video reel of Jonas Sr. in front of MUTHER to keep her occupied.

A man in torn clothing is shown wandering around what appears to be some sort of abandoned hell scape. He curses Dr. Venture for abandoning him there so many years ago.

Dr. Venture and Brock are in the compound renovating a giant drill vehicle originally built by Jonas Venture Sr. While guiding Brock, who is driving the vehicle, Venture falls through a set of trap doors in the floor and the machine falls in after him, plugging the way out. Brock and Venture find that the sub-level blocks their communicator watches, leaving them unable to contact eachother. Brock descends through a nearby door to the sub-level looking for the Doc.

Brock enters a dark control room but is immediately attacked by a tiny little man (from the pre-credits clip) wielding a sewing needle. The man stabs Brock through his boot, causing Brock to flinch and close the door behind him.

Brock turns on the lights in the control room and talks with the tiny man. He is irevealed to be Dr. Entmann, Jonas Venture Sr.'s associate who has been trapped in that room for 30 years. His tiny size is the result of a failed experiment to correct a previous failed experiment, which left him as a giant. He reveals to Brock, with the door sealed, they are both stuck in the room (a nuclear fallout shelter) for another 40 years.

The Triad enters the subterranean area in search of Brock and Venture. They combine their powers, allowing Orpheus to telepathically locate the missing men. However, before he can pinpoint them, each member of the triad receives a terrifying vision of an 8-bit female face and a demonic face. The Triad flees back to the surface in terror. There, it is revealed that Jefferson got so scared that he literally shit his pants. Orpheus goes to seek advice from his Master, excluding the Alchemist (because he is gay) and Jefferson (because he soiled himself.)

The deem Venture an unclean outsider, and consult their "father" on what to do with him. They play an old punch card video of Jonas Sr. speaking to a young Rusty about personal hygiene.

The actual Rusty removes the punch card, ending the video, and demanding that he be returned to the surface.

Brock and Entmann have also seen that MUTHER has been activated. Entmann explains that Jonas Sr. built MUTHER to run the nuclear fallout shelter and help assist the distraught survivors of a nuclear apocalypse. In that event, she was programmed to release small amounts of mood enhancing drugs into the bunker ventilation. Instead, MUTHER dumped a massive dose of the drug into the vents while the original Team Venture was giving a tour of the facility to a group of orphans. When everyone went berserk from the drugs, Jonas arrived to rescue his team (Col. Gentleman, Action Man, and Kano) but left the orphans behind.

The {{Stinger}} shows Venture sealing up the shaft he fell into earlier while talking to White about how the orphans kept their waste in the missile so that "father" would make it clean. Brock and Entmann have set up a video reel of Jonas Sr. in front of MUTHER to keep her occupied as well.

* ScrewThisImOuttaHere: Instead of saving the kids (and Dr Entmann) when MUTHER releases the drugs, Jonas Venture Sr. instead has the rest of Team Venture get into his drill vehicle and escape, abandoning the others to their fates.
