"Well, I guess it all works out!"

The fourth episode of the Battle for Dream Island series. Blocky gets eliminated, the featured challenges include baking a cake and eating 100 chocolate balls. Since each team won one of the respective contests, a tiebreaker is used, and Snowball wins for his team, putting the Squishy Cherries up for elimination for the third time in a row.

Tropes include:

  • April Fools' Day: The episode starts with a message that the video has been removed, only to say "APRIL FOOL'S!!!" shortly afterwards.
  • Breaking the Fourth Wall: When the intro plays for the second time, Announcer interrupts it and says that they already played it.
  • Broke the Rating Scale: The Magical Die of Judgment:
    • Golf Ball gets a 0 because there was dirt in her cake (flung into the mixture by Snowball), and she didn't realize it. When the die shows its score, she complains that that's not even possible.
    • Leafy is the third to present a strawberry cake (even though she was the one who originally made it), so the Announcer gives her a 4, and Flower gives her a 0 despite her spinner landing on 10. The die gives her a 15.
    • It is likely that the die also gave Woody a high score, considering that he had a higher score than most of the others with strawberry cakes.
  • Buffy Speak: Leafy calls Announcer a "speaker thing" before attempting to dismantle him.
  • Hypocrite: Coiny's cake is a clump of dirt, which gets a commendable 14 points. Golf Ball's cake, however, is an actual cake with only some dirt baked into it, netting her a wave of 0s even from the die.
  • Lethal Chef:
    • Needle adds so much yeast to her cake that it grows into a bubble the size of a star.
    • Coiny's cake is little more than a clump of baked dirt, which Announcer refuses to eat. Coiny replies that a dirt cake is still better than an ice cake.
    • Rocky's cake is just a bowl of his own vomit. Yet he manages to score 22 points.
  • Literal Metaphor: The tiebreaker is a contest to see which team can rip their necktie in half first. Snowball manages to do so, leading the Squashy Grapes to victory.
  • Literally Shattered Lives: Snowball compares making a cake without recipes to making one with two metal balls, which he then uses to crush both Ice Cube and her recovery center.
  • Misspelling Out Loud: When Pencil turns into "dumb Bubble", Match slaps her and says, "Don't do that! It is K-R-E-P!" Depending on how you interpret it, she could have meant either "creepy" or "crap".
  • A Rare Sentence:
    Snowball: Making cakes without recipes is almost as bad as making a cake out of TWO METAL BALLS!
  • Spontaneous Weapon Creation: Snowball generates two metal balls from thin air, and chucks them at Ice Cube and her recovery center.
  • Supreme Chef: Pin, who wins the cake contest with her Flower cake.
