Summary

As Red, Yellow, Green and Second Coming play and relax on a trash-laden beach, Second Coming returns from tossing a plastic bottle into a recycling bin, when he sees Blue selling popsicles. Purchasing one, Second Coming witnesses Blue take that money, and place it onto some trash, causing said trash to disappear. Second Coming gathers his friends to allow Blue to reveal his new discovery with cash.

The five friends open an ice cream stall on a boat where they receive money from other stick figures buying their goods. Blue uses the cash gathered to make trash on the water disappear, spanning from amidst a huge wave some folks are surfing on, to 20,000 leagues below the sea surface and even down in the city's canal.

Just like last time, the whole thing was All Just a Dream. Second Coming witnesses Alan intending to make a donation of $5 to #TeamSeas. Second Coming quickly chucks 100 from the "100 Pounds" option and increases it to 5100, but Alan knocks him away. Blue, having had the same dream as Second Coming, alters Alan's option to 51 million but gets overpowered. Joining in, Green and Yellow then punch in over 18 million to the custom donation box with Red hitting the "Next" button before Alan can react.

Tropes:

  • All Just a Dream: Just like last time. This time, however, it seems like all of the stick figures had the same dream and all gang up on Alan's cursor to make an enormous donation.
  • Call-Back: One of the scenes the Stick Gang passes by while cleaning the river is a bunch of stick figures planting trees next to a pick-up truck with #TeamTrees printed on the sides.
  • Cast from Money: Blue again. This time it's drop a dollar bill on some trash to make it disappear.
  • Foreshadowing: As the dream comes to a close, the camera doesn't zoom into the Second Coming, indicating that he wasn't the only one having the dream. When he tries yet again to make a huge donation and fails, the rest of the stick figures immediately join in.
  • History Repeats: Once again, Second Coming falls asleep on Alan's desktop while Alan is looking up MrBeast's environmental projects, dreams about Blue having Cast from Money superpowers related to said projects, then wakes up and forces Alan to make a huge donation.
  • Involuntary Charity Donation: Second Coming once again attempts to significantly upsize the amount of money Alan donates, this time joined by the others to help when the Animator initially repels him.
  • Shared Dream: Implied. Not only does the Second Coming have another fundraiser dream and tries yet again to donate a huge amount of money, but the other stick figures join in as well, implying that they also dreamed of donating to clean the seas. Also, as the dream was coming to a close, the camera doesn't zoom into the Second Coming, instead ending with all of the sticks onscreen.
  • Shockingly Expensive Bill: Attempted but ultimately Subverted. As if the forced $5,100 donation to #TeamTrees wasn't bad enough, after Alan thwarts the Second Coming's attempts to repeat that, Blue shows up and inflates that to over $51 million. After Alan deals with that and tosses the modified button offscreen, Yellow and Green use the donation counter to make a custom donation of over $18 million. Alan tosses them aside, only for Red to hit the Next button before he can react. However, searching Alan Becker's name on the #TeamSeas website reveals he donated a more reasonable, but still substantial, $10,200 dollars; commenting that "My stick figures almost made me donate way more than this".
  • Sudden Anatomy: A couple of the stick figures buying snowcones from the Stick Gang sprout fingers to indicate how many.
  • Taught by Experience: Thanks to the Stick Gang apparently remembering the events of Blue's New Superpower.
    • Upon seeing the Second Coming trying to make trash disappear with a dollar bill, Blue calmly pulls out another popsicle before the Second Coming asks to buy another.
    • Red, Yellow, and Green are much calmer about the Second Coming taking their money and throwing popsicles at them than Yellow had been at the Second Coming forcibly selling him a candy bar in Blue's New Superpower, as if this time they know that the Second Coming is going somewhere with this.
    • This time the Animator thwarts the Second Coming's attempt to force him to donate 5100 dollars, only to be forced to donate even way more due to the other stick figures' interference
