Summary
Lost and hungry in the middle of a barren desert, Second Coming and Red fight when they blame each other for getting lost. Their fight soon ends when they find themselves inside of a lush cave, and calm down. Just then, a Minecraft player, alexcrafter28, soon approaches them, and they use alexcrafter28's computer to email themselves to Alan's computer, just in time to catch Purple planning to steal the Master Block.Tropes
- Arrow Catch: The Second Coming grabs an arrow fired by a skeleton during his fight with Red, while Red grabs two arrows fired by a Minecraft player, the second without even looking at it.
- Blame Game: The Second Coming blames Red for convincing everyone to go through with Purple in the first place, while Red blames the Second Coming for the beacon-crossing trick getting them stranded.
- Call-Back: Much like the original shorts, Second Coming and Red engage in some computer shenanigans with alexcrafter28's PC, via emailing themselves to Alan's PC in a similar manner to Second Coming using a phone cable and Dropbox to travel between Alan's iPhone and his PC.
- Cliffhanger: The Second Coming and Red get home to Alan's PC, just in time to see Purple coming through the portal.
- Didn't Want an Adventure: During the argument, The Second Coming points out that he didn't want to go with Purple, and had everyone listened everyone would be safe at home instead of separated and in danger. Red's counterargument just seems to be that that'd be boring.
- Feud Episode: An argument between The Second Coming and Red over who's to blame for ending up in the desert quickly escalates into an intense donnybrook.
- Funny Background Event: During the Mêlée à Trois between The Second Coming, Red, and the mobs, a husk can be seen approaching the Second Coming from behind before stopping as if realizing attacking him isn't a good idea. It later moves more slowly so another husk behind it would get ahead.
- Human Mail: Second Coming and Red use alexcrafter28's computer's email to send them back into Alan's PC.
- Ignored Enemy: While The Second Coming and Red are having a fight, they are surrounded by monsters who try to attack them both. The two stick figures barely acknowledge the monsters, besides the few moments where they grab them to throw them at each other.
- Let's You and Him Fight: More than a half of the episode is spent on the Second Coming and Red's argument-turned-fight.
- Living Is More than Surviving: Red seems to have this attitude during the Blame Game, countering the Second Coming's insistence that everything would have been fine if they'd listened to him and gone home by saying they at least had fun on the Parkour course instead of dying of boredom back home. The ensuing fight ends when the Second Coming looks around at the beautiful lush cavern biome around him, something they wouldn't have seen if he'd had his way, and decides that Red is right.
- Mêlée à Trois: The Second Coming vs. Red vs. various mobs.
- Ninja Prop: During their argument, Red and the Second Coming occasionally knock each other's Pictorial Speech-Bubble off, as if they physically existed.
- Offhand Backhand: Second Coming and Red end up killing the mobs around them just trying to get to each other. The most classical example of the trope is Second Coming punching a creeper from over his shoulder, killing it before it has a chance to blow up.
- Pictorial Speech-Bubble: A variation without the bubbles: The Second Coming and Red's argument is conveyed with small sequential pictures above their heads.
- Quit Your Whining: When Red crumples to the ground, overwhelmed by hunger and despair, the Second Coming (who is just as hungry with no complaint) implicitly tells Red to stop being a baby; the accompanying image is the Second Coming holding a crying, mini-Red in a diaper.
- Secret A.I. Moves: Parodied. The Second Coming and Red are clearly confused by alexcrafter's limited movements.
- Talking Is a Free Action: The Second Coming and Red are introduced wandering in the desert, on the brink of death by starvation, and proceed to get in a massive, extended fistfight about it without any sign of ill effects. What's more, the Second Coming ends up feeding Red a glow berry but doesn't eat anything at all in the entire episode.note
