Line #27 Recap/DreamSMPS4E5


1	!!THE EGG RETURNS (SPOILERS ARE NOT MARKED)
2
3	* In Puffy's stream before the finale:
4	** Puffy goes around the server, running into her friends, and talking about [[ABirthdayNotABreak her (one month late) birthday party.]] Puffy encounters Ponk, Hannah, Tubbo, Bad and Eryn on this walk. Most of her friends go to the Eret's Museum to wait for her to come to the party. On her way to the party, Puffy goes into a house's basement and discovers that there are a multitude of vines covering the space - vines that are identical to the ones from the Egg. She follows the vines down a dark tunnel, removing some as she goes along. The tunnel ends with an opening that goes directly down, in a freefall. Puffy goes to the edge of the tunnel and cautiously peers down, but is suddenly pushed off her ledge into direct proximity with the Egg, completely unprepared and defenseless against it. [[ABirthdayNotABreak Puffy hopelessly looks around as]] [[FadeToBlack the screen fades.]]
5	* [[SwitchingPOV Puffy's friends have their own streams going at this point:]]
6	** Meanwhile her friends are still at her (one month late) birthday party. They discuss gifts, and eventually wonder where Puffy is, and why she's taking so long. Tubbo excuses himself while [[RescueArc CPK, Hannah, Ant(Antfrost), Sam, Ponk, Eryn, and Bad all go to search for Puffy.]] They find their way to the basement where Puffy saw the vines and are all shocked at the sight of the vines. It looks like the work of the Egg, but they already sealed the egg away and Bad suggests someone independently planted the vines. Worried about their missing friend(Puffy) and how the Egg could be related to this, [[LetsSplitUpGang they split up into two groups, with Sam leading Hannah and Ant (the three most armored) using a path to "Sam Bucket's" house (where Bad sealed the Egg) to check on the Egg's containment, and Ponk, Bad, Eryn, and CPK staying in the basement to look for clues of Puffy's whereabouts.]] They plan to regroup later.
7	** Sam, Hannah, and Ant head to the Egg room, and surprisingly, there is no door blocking the path there. For most of the room they find (according to Hannah) nothing amiss - until they see the Egg missing! Sam explains that earlier when Foolish had destroyed it, in reality, the Egg had teleported to a safer place. However they find a bottle of "apple juice" where the Egg used to be, and Sam states that [[FrothyMugsOfWater only one person drinks "apple juice"(Which Sam knows to be Bad).]] Sam leads Ant and Hannah through [[TunnelNetwork a series of vine encased tunnels to what looks like a stronghold, but a very creepy one, that has been broken quite a bit and has Egg-related bright red drawings and messages on every wall.]] Sam thinks something must have gone wrong because he is surprised by the new creepiness. Sam leads Hannah and Ant through these horrors, to "Sam Bucket's" house and explains Sam Bucket, as well as the Egg's weakness to iron. They find a basement to Sam Bucket's house with confusing journals in chests. They spot some stained bandages outside Sam Bucket's house, and relate them to Ponk, who used to wear them around the stump left of his arm (and has recently shown up with a new arm out of nowhere). [[SealedEvilInACan They see that the Egg's current chamber is still solidly blocked with iron, and the three agree that it would be a bad idea to open the seal,]] but wonder why [[TheMole there is proof of Bad and Ponk having been down there.]] Fearing what could happen to them, and their possible friend's involvement, they hurriedly rush away from the Egg, through all the tunnels, and to the Spider Spawner, where Sam rushed to block the way to the Egg room. At that point they meet the other group.
8	** Meanwhile, Bad, Ponk, Eryn, and CPK had been searching the basement, where [[TheMole they found Weednip, and roses in separate nooks. Both items were proof that Ant and Hannah had been to this room and all over it, BEFORE just now, as they were the only parties know to regularly use/have that item.]] The group manages to notice the column Puffy had built, and find the tunnel Puffy had traversed. IN the tunnel [[OrgyOfEvidence they find more Weednip, and a pickaxe that proved someone had purposefully dug out the tunnel,]] and it hadn't been entirely the Egg. The peer through the hole Puffy had been dropped into, and bolt at the sight of the Egg, with plans to gear up and return.
9	** The two groups fully reunite in the Spider Spawner, where there is more space, and they discuss their findings. Bad thinks that everyone should gear up and check out the Egg, and rightly suspects Puffy fell in the hole they saw above the Egg and wants to save her. Meanwhile, Sam declares that he saw that the Egg was sealed up, and they shouldn't go exploring around the proven-to-be dangerous Egg. The two explain their reasoning, but neither side yields. [[OrgyOfEvidence The group who found the Weednip starts blaming Ant for having built the tunnel, with the Weednip as their evidence. As the accusation increese, Sam throws the empty "apple juice" bottle at Bad, and Bad admits to having recently been near the Egg. As Bad defends himself, Ponk steps in and mentioned the roses that were found, now blaming Hannah for committing misdeeds.]] [[NotMeThisTime Hannah says she was there to give Puffy a birthday present, and they probably fell recently, but no one believes her.]] [[OrgyOfEvidence Then Sam throws the stained bandages his group found at Ponk and starts questioning them about where they were, and their new arm. After that Ponk throws a piece of]] [[UniformityException Fran's collar]] [[OrgyOfEvidence at Sam and accuses him. Sam leaves and Hannah says Bad is deflecting and points out Ponk's new arm.]] [[BreakingTheFellowship A huge verbal argument breaks out, with almost everyone having an increase in pitch over their anger.]]
10	---> '''Ant:''' "There is no way in hell we're letting you down there, that place in gonna be sealed up forever."
11	** Bad's group continues protesting and pushing, because they want to go down and take a look.
12	---> '''Bad:''' "You can't stop us, we're going down."
13	---> '''Hannah:''' "Yes we will. Bad I will KILL you." hits Bad
14	---> '''Bad:''' "Woah, whoah!"
15	** Hannah goes on a rant about why NOT to go look at the Egg, but CPK, Eryn, Bad, and Ponk stay determined. Bad continuously insists that they need to go to the Egg to find Puffy, Hannah threatens to kill a cat, and no one's opinion changes, and the only thing keeping CPK, Eryn, Bad, and Ponk in place is Hannah and Ant having WAY better gear. Eryn tries to sneak down the tunnel, but Hannah and Ant follow them and kick everyone out. Hannah and Ant discuss how to block the Egg and how they don't want anyone getting hurt, while CPK, Eryn, Bad, and Ponk leave to gear up. Stream end.
16	* The Egg lore continues on Bad's vods(youtube channel). Streamed 29 October 2022.
17	** Ponk, Eryn, and Bad make a plan to check out the Egg and quickly look for clues of Puffy before leaving. They wear iron helmets and leave Callahan to hold down the fort as they leave the Community House. Meanwhile, [[FiveSecondForeshadowing Sam leaves the bank]], to meet with Hannah, Ant, and CPK in an underground base to plan on keeping another Egg debacle from happening. Sam mentions traps and blocking entrances, while CPK worries if they are taking things too far, but the others warn CPK that the Egg should not be trifled with.
18	---> '''Ant:''' "We can't let them get to the Egg room."
19	---> '''Hannah:''' "We all remember what happened last time."
20	---> '''CPK:''' "I don't."
21	** With every other route to the Egg blocked Bad, Ponk, and Eryn head to the EX/Spider Farm route. They find CPK, Hannah, Ant, and Sam blocking the tunnel to the Spider Farm route.
22	---> '''Hannah:''' "Well, well, well look who it is."
23	** Ant says it is way too dangerous to go near the egg, Bad says he needs to look for Puffy, and Hannah asks if Bad has ulterior motives for being near the Egg. The argument once again goes back and forth.
24	---> '''Bad:''' "Why are you guys trying to stop us. It's like- it's like there's something in there you don't want us to see."
25	---> '''Hannah:''' "Of course there is Bad, it's called this giant evil Egg that wants to take over the server."
26	** With them being outnumbered, [[IndyPloy Ponk whispers to Eryn and Bad that he has a plan.]] Ponk goes over to the other side and tells them that Bad and Eryn have been acting weird, and Ponk just really wants to keep them away from it. Hannah starts to suggest what Ponk could do to help, but Ponk quickly whacks CPK, Hannah, Sam, and Ant all back with his axe, clearing a path for Eryn and Bad, and the two take to chance to jump down the tunnel.
27	---> '''Hannah:''' "If you really want to help then"-
28	---> '''Ponk:''' "PSYCH!"
29	** Ant, CPK, and Hannah follow down the tunnel, leaving the [[WhyWouldAnyoneTakeHimBack bitter exes]] [[AnArmAndALeg Ponk and Sam]] fighting outside. Sam is about to follow his allies, but Ponk blokes him and then mentions [[HostageSituation Fran]], Sam's dog. Under threat of Fran being hurt, Sam complies with Ponk's orders to take off his armor.
30	** Meanwhile, Eryn and Bad rush down the unblocked route to the original Egg room, and block their tracks. Sam leads Eryn through the creepy tunnels to the Egg's new location.
31	** Back to Sam and Ponk, Ponk is delivering a TheReasonYouSuck speech, as they have power over Sam, while Sam backs up and pleads for Ponk to [[PleaseSpareHimMyLiege spare Fran]].
32	---> '''Ponk:''' "That's all you can do Sam. You lock up the people around you. And you end up hurting them, because you can't risk seeing them hurt."
33	** Ponk says that he will kill Fran once he [[PrepareToDie kills Sam]]. Things are looking dark for Sam: His dog is held captive and scheduled for death, he has no armor, and Ponk wants to kill him. But then...
34	---> '''Sam:''' "You're not going to hurt Fran."
35	---> '''Ponk:''' "Oh really? And how do you know that?"
36	---> '''Sam:''' "Well[[DramaticPause ...]] how will you kill Fran when you're already dead."
37	** Sam places a redstone torch, which [[CrazyPrepared activates a mechanism that teleports Sam away, and blows up the bank]], exactly where Ponk is. Ponk has a CurseCutShort by his death to a crazy amount of TNT. Sam gets away from Ponk, but as Sam tries to find Fran [[MortalWoundReveal he coughs and moves slowly, and dies before he can get close to finding her,]] [[SorryThatImDying all the while apologizing to Fran.]]
38	** Sam and Ponk just both lost their second lives.
39	** Meanwhile, Eryn and Bad have made it to the stronghold Ant, Hannah and Sam visited earlier. Except the stronghold has been torn down and turned into a hell-like series of tunnel in the time between the visits: walls missing, water replaced by lava, red vines, all signs of the Egg's corruption. When they reach the Egg, Bad announces the seal trapping it is gone, [[AchillesHeel and instructs Eryn to put on an iron helmet.]] The pair turn the corner and come face to face with the Egg, in all of its glory. The Egg's influence has overtaken the chamber, and there are vines everywhere, along with bones on the floor. Eryn points out [[DamselInDistress Puffy trapped in a cage]] near the Egg - something that was feared in the Egg's last attempted take over, because that was how it brainwashed people. They talk about getting her down... only for Hannah, Ant, and CPK to come running in!
40	---> '''Hannah:''' "Ha! Found you! You guys aren't getting away with this." spots Puffy "Oh my- Puffy? What have you guys done to her?"
41	---> '''Eryn:''' "Us? What do you mean? What did you do to her? We just found her like this."
42	---> '''Hannah:''' "I knew it! I knew you were working with the egg. This is the Red Banquet all over again."
43	---> '''Bad:''' "Us? We're not working with the Egg. You are! You were the one trying to keep us from finding her down here!"
44	---> '''Ant:''' "Nonono Bad, you're not turning this on us, you're the one whos always been obsessed with the Egg, you the one that tried to take over the entire server, you partnered with this thing again, admit it."
45	---> '''Bad:''' "That's rich coming from the two of you."
46	** You get the idea. [[WeWereYourTeam Bad and Eryn keep blaming Hannah and Ant, and vice versa. This hot potato game of passing the blame would be more funny if it weren't for the weapons, location, and incredibly high stakes.]] Then [[NewMeat CPK (who wasn't on the server the last time the Egg took over) tries to break the tension.]] [[InnocentMeansNaive He stands between the two groups and tries to defend the idea of working together,]] and points out to Hannah and Ant that Bad and Eryn might be telling the truth. Hannah gives a speech about how terrible the Egg was [[SurvivorGuilt last time]]. CPK continues pleading for cooperation when [[BewaretheQuietOnes Ant jumps out and kills CPK]] in a fell swoop.
47	---> '''CPK:''' "I know the Egg is dangerous and I know we have to stop it. I just don't think that we have to tear our friendships apart to do that. If we just stop and listen we could"-
48	---> '' Ant kills CPK. ''
49	---> '''Bad:''' "CPK!"
50	---> '''Eryn:''' "No CPK!"
51	---> '''Hannah:''' "Antfrost! Why?"
52	---> '''Ant:''' "[[HistoryRepeats I can't do this again.]] CPK isn't with us, then he's against us and I can't allow that."
53	---> '''Bad:''' "Antfrost! He was our friend!"
54	** [[RageBreakingPoint In his anger Bad shoves Ant off to the side with his sword and Ant runs in fear]] - through the tunnels around the Egg's room. Eventually they pause in the aforementioned stronghold to battle it out with words, and then weapons. The scene switched back to the Egg's chamber where Hannah and Eryn are duking it out. [[SilverTongue Hannah steps back from the fight, and tries to talk Eryn down]] by convincing him that Bad simply can't be trusted, using her experience with the Egg as an example.
55	---> '''Eryn:''' "Even if he was corrupted before, he's not now. You're just blaming him for your mistake Hannah."
56	---> '''Hannah:''' "Maybe, but at least I'm admitting to them. I see the danger that the Egg brings. The death and destruction it leave in it's wake. It can warp minds Eryn, and it's already taken his. Why else would Bad want to come down here?"
57	** Eryn manages to convince [[ConsummateLiar Hannah]] to talk things out, and she says they should go quickly as she is scared of the Egg. Meanwhile, Ant and Bad are also in the middle of taking a break from fighting to talk, but their conversation doesn't go as well, with Ant cornering Bad, before they leap into an all out battle.
58	---> '''Ant:''' "I can't trust you Bad, after the Banquet, I just can't risk it. Maybe you aren't infected by the Egg, and maybe I am, but I can't risk it either way. [[MurderIsTheBestSolution If killing you will have to do, then so be it.]]"
59	---> '''Bad:''' "Fine. [[BadassBoast And I guess I'll have to kill you too.]]"
60	---> '' An all out fight between to two starts. ''
61	** The view switches to Hannah at the top of some stairs, leading Eryn out of the Egg chamber. Eryn questions whether they should leave Puffy and Hannah asks if Eryn has any blocks. Eryn says that he can't tower up to Puffy because he already used the obsidian he brought. While Eryn is distracted, Hannah delivers a heavy blow to him with her axe.
62	---> '''Eryn:''' "Hannah! Hannah-Hannah, you-you you said"-
63	---> '''Hannah:''' "Sorry kid, I'm not letting this egg win again. Even if it means killing you."
64	** Unprepared for this betrayal, [[StrongAsTheyNeedToBe Eryn tanks multiple hits from Hannah's axe]] to the point of her knocking him down. An image of the Egg overtakes the screen, and when we see the duo again, Hannah is mercilessly raining down blows on the unresponsive Eryn. Just when it looks like all hope is lost, Eryn cries out, and Bad - now missing his helmet, and evidently having [[KilledOffscreen won his fight against Ant]] - swiftly jumps onto the scene, knocking Hannah into lava, where she burns to death.
65	** Bad gives Eryn an potion and says that they need to rescue Puffy, and get out as soon as possible. Eryn pauses and says that this might be his only chance to ask the Egg about what happened to his parents. Bad is quick to reprimand Eryn, and recounts what the Egg does to people who seek its help. Bad promises to help Eryn on his LoyaltyMission.
66	---> '''Bad:''' "It might tell you the truth, but-but it won't give you what you want."
67	** Just as Bad promises Eryn that he can help Eryn find his parents, and Eryn decides not to ask the Egg, [[BeginWithAFinisher a hidden figure knocks Eryn into the lava around the Egg, killing him.]] Bad cries out in dismay, and turns to see who it is. It's... [[DecoyDamsel PUFFY!]]
68	** Bad demands to know why she just did that, and Puffy starts talking, but [[VoiceOfTheLegion her voice quickly shifts to that of the Egg,]] [[DemonicPossession and it's clear she is not in control of her own body.]] The Egg reveals it's entire history, including how it rose to power after the Red Banquet... [[PlotTwist SKEPPY!]] [[DealWithTheDevil Skeppy offered Bad's freedom from the Egg, for that of all of Bad's friends (hinted to be: CPK, Ant, Sam, Hannah, Ponk),]] and and Skeppy even planted the items that made them all blame each other for the Egg being freed. The Egg uses Puffy's body to kill Bad.
