Recap / Battle For Dream Island S 4 E 6 Four Goes Too Far

The cast vs the Twinkle (not "tinkle") of Contagion

The sixth episode of Battle for BFDI and the 37th episode of the overall series. Roboty gets eliminated, but mid-Cake at Stake, Four gets multiplied by zero and Donut takes over as the host. The featured challenge is to avoid the Twinkle of Contagion within three hours. The Losers lose.

Tropes include:

• Ax-Crazy: Four, well, goes too far in this episode. While he was very, very prone to inflicting horrendous trauma, physical or otherwise, on anyone and everyone, at least he had a reason as they were also harassing and provoking him.
• Beware the Nice Ones: Bell, who's generally perky and sweet, lashes out at Taco for manipulating her and refuses to accept her apology for what happened.
• The Dog Bites Back: After spending the entire season up to this point at the short end of Four's torment, A Better Name Than That attempts to get rid of him by "multiplying him by 0," using Donut as their 0. It works, and Donut is then made the host.
• Heh Heh, You Said "X": A Running Gag throughout the episode is Gelatin saying "tinkle" whenever he hears someone say "twinkle".
  Donut: Gelatin! Why do you always have to act like you're six years old?
  Gelatin: Because I am.^note Well, he's not lying; he made his debut in BFDIA, which was six years old at the time this episode premiered.
• Imagined Innuendo: A Better Name Than That successfully gets rid of Four by multiplying him by zero (Donut). Tennis Ball and Golf Ball wiggle their eyebrows at the word "factor", much to Donut's annoyance.
  Tennis Ball: Well, Four became a... factor of zero... if you know what I mean.
  [Tennis Ball and Golf Ball wiggle their eyebrows intensively]
  Donut: Stop that! There's not even a second meaning there!
• Sealed Inside a Person-Shaped Can: Four and X get sealed inside Donut after Golf Ball's devious plan to multiply Four by Donut succeeds.
• Ship Sinking: This episode teases Taco and Bell (who never interacted until now), with Taco pretending to flirt with Bell and flustering her. In reality, however, she was baiting her to look at the Twinkle-infected moon so she could spare Bleh from elimination.
• Wham Episode: A Better Name Than That executes a plan to get rid of Four. Donut now has Four's powers and personality inside him, and takes over as the host.
• You Are Better Than You Think You Are: When Pin worries about the possibility of Loser being eliminated since her team relied on him so much, Coiny reminds her that he’s her right-hand man and she herself has the potential to be a heroic leader.
