Dimple is not holding back; Mob's monkey shirt is one of the ugliest things he's ''ever laid eyes on'' and he can't shut up about it. Now certain that he can trust the spirit and that Dimple did indeed fear him, Mob discharges all of his psychic energy in an explosion of 100% Trust.

Dimple still isn't convinced, however: the barrier he erects to shield himself dashes Mob to the floor. Why would the boy render himself defenseless like this? Does Mob... ''not take him seriously''? He could kill this kid easily. Mob gently calls him out on his threats and explains. Dimple's honesty about his shirt ''and'' his purported popularity won his full trust; he apologizes for blowing the spirit off, thanks him, offers to properly hear him out on any of his future ambitions... then collapses. Seems he didn't reserve any of his power for himself.

Dimple stands at the cusp of godhood, but it still doesn't satisfy his soul. The now-somewhat-less-sleazy ghost muses that this goal that had animated him for so long wasn't really what he was after, then resolves to cleanse everyone's memories of the fake Psycho Helmet and uproot the Tree according to Mob and Reigen's original plans. Unfortunately, the Broccoli--having gained sentience--is listening... and all too ready to wage war over Mob's now-dozing body for sustenance just as the two are headed home.

The spirit shields Mob under a barrier, and mounts a valiant charge against the Divine Tree as it spawns hundreds of clones in self-defense. As powerful as Dimple has grown, he can't win this and ''he knows it''.

* OneManArmy: Dimple against the Broccoli. He puts up a hell of a fight against what appear to be ''hundreds'' of its clones--some sprouting out of thin air ''outside the Tree''--before finally succumbing.

Cut to Mob's eyes opening, unfocused, uncomprehending. His limbs don't seem to work either. Are they home yet? No, says Dimple; he needed a break. The spirit hypnotizes the teenager, commanding him to rise despite everything and find his own way home. As Mob-under-hypnosis exhorts the still-present crowd to do the same, the Broccoli consumes Dimple's form and begins to crumble...

The uprooted plant soars across citizens' TV screens, gradually erasing the day's events from everyone's memories. Including Mob's.

!!Tropes appearing in this episode include:
* BadassInDistress: Applies to both Dimple and Mob in this episode:
** Mob's dumping his psychic energy in an explosion of 100% Trust unexpectedly catches up to him a little while later, leaving him too weak to stand or, eventually, stay awake. The Divine Tree wants the sleeping boy for sustenance and almost makes off with him.
** After Dimple relinquishes control of the Divine Tree, it attains sentience and wages a war over Mob's [[DeepSleep sleeping body]] using [[WeHaveReserves an army of freshly-spawned clones]].
* BrutalHonesty: Dimple is unable to restrain himself from verbally shredding Mob's hideous monkey shirt. It wins Mob's trust, triggering his Trust explosion.
* BridalCarry: After snatching him away from an avatar of the Tree, Dimple carries Mob's [[PowerStrainBlackout somnolent]] form in this fashion before setting him down and encircling him with a barrier.
* BotanicalAbomination: The Broccoli after it becomes sentient and assumes ''Psycho Helmet'''s now-vacant identity. It generates PlantMooks and [[ManEatingPlant is also apparently carnivorous]].
* ChromeChampion: Dimple not only appears to be encased in gold; his footfalls and punches sound heavy and metallic as well. He shapes part of his hand into a spike [[AbsurdlySharpBlade sharp enough to slice off a lock of Mob's bangs]], as a threat.
* GlowingFlora: Some of the vegetation inside the Broccoli glows. The luminescence becomes more intense after Dimple abandons his [[GodhoodSeeker thirst for godhood]].
* LaserGuidedAmnesia: Dimple, as promised, removes everyone's memories of the fake Psycho Helmet he created... and the events in this episode.
* LyingToProtectYourFeelings: Dimple uses some of his remaining energy to mentally shield Mob from the sight of his partially-consumed and lacerated body. Mob sees the familiar green blob from earlier in the series waving back at him instead.
* NowLetMeCarryYou: Mob reveals he discarded too much of his power; he is too weak to walk as a result. Dimple--normally the weaker of the two--hoists the boy up and carries him on his back as he drifts off to sleep.
* OneManArmy: Dimple against the Broccoli. He puts up a hell of a fight against what appear to be ''hundreds'' of its clones--some sprouting out of thin air ''outside the Tree''--before finally succumbing.
* PowerOfTrust: Mob's trust in Dimple has inspired much of the spirit's [[TookALevelInKindness taking a level in kindness]] over the course of the series. His full awareness of that trust here leads him to [[HeroicSacrifice sacrifice himself to the Divine Tree]], in order to protect Mob and release the boy's hometown from its influence.
* PowerStrainBlackout: Mob accidentally dumps too much of his psychic energy during 100% Trust, leaving him too weak to stay conscious.
* SpeakInUnison: Zig-zagged. Broccoli!Psycho Helmet's [[PlantMooks endless supply of clones]] all command Dimple to 'hand [Mob] over', their voices sync up and de-sync randomly to disturbing effect.
* SingleEpisodeHandicap: Exploited. Mob's PowerStrainBlackout has this effect on him. Before he loses consciousness he's unable to move, and when he comes to, he's also [[TemporaryBlindness temporarily blind]]. Ordinarily he would be immune to Dimple's hypnosis, but the spirit takes advantage of the circumstances to do so and help him get home safely.
* SincerityMode: The normally sardonic Dimple voices his admiration and deep respect for Mob a few times during this episode.
* ZergRush: 'Lord Psycho Helmet' overwhelms God Dimple with seemingly-limitless reserves of broccoli puppets, though not without a fight.
