Recap / Paper Puppets Episode 5 The Escape Plan

Go To

The episode begins with Flashlight asking the Blasting Bottles if they are happy winning the previous challenge. Nobody responds, upsetting Flashlight at her team's apparent apathy. Glass Shard argues that the show is boring, nothing ever happens and there is a lack of intro. Flashlight agrees with the intro part until Gold Ingot cuts in stating Paper Puppets will never attain one and it is time for elimination.

For this elimination, the show received 13 votes, a record high (Hooray!). Pan is safe due to immunity last episode, Cup and Bag got 1 vote each and Melon and Post-it Note earn 2 votes each. Slipper exclaims as to why she's in the bottom 2, Gold Ingot highlights how she turns a tad jerk-ish near the end of episode 4. Needless to say, Slipper is eliminated with 4 votes, and Toothbrush is safe with 3 votes. Desperate, Slipper cries out for her alliance who are unwilling to help because of her slight but sudden meanness much to Slipper's horror as she is lifted to the White Box of Doom courtesy of Mr. Hand.

The episode's challenge requires Gold Ingot to temporarily split up the teams into 4 groups of 3 with varying results. The first group consists of Glass Shard, Pan and Bag, devastating Glass Shard with the fact he's paired up with armless contestants. Flashlight and Mirror were disappointed Post-it note was on their team. Toothbrush, Fridge, and Mirror form the next team, and lastly, remain Melon, Cup, and Chainsaw as the final group. The groups' challenge is to escape an enclosed room, the last team to do so is up for elimination. Through the power of video editing, Gold Ingot teleports the contestants to the room, reveal to be a giant bathroom (regular-size bathroom for viewers since the cast are tiny paper cutouts). From there the teams discuss their escape plan.

Shortly into the challenge, Cup had planned to slide under the Bathroom door with Chainsaw and Melon following suit as they are literally paper-thin. Mr. Hand informs their escape to the other teams so they have to pick up the pace. Fridge's team decided to climb through the air vent, commenting on how disgusting the inside was but left the bathroom regardless. The remaining 2 teams look stumped but hold on, Pan has an idea! (That's a first...) Glass Shard threatens Pan that it better not be stupid. The scene gilligan cuts to the toilet, causing Glass Shard to loudly protest. However, Pan gives him the alternative of elimination in which Glass Shard would be the likely candidate due to his bad attitude. Reluctantly convince, Glass shard relents and dives into the toilet with Bag and Pan. They then trick Flashlight from the other group into pushing the flush button, thanking her as they plummet down the toilet's drainage system.

Realizing what she has done, Flashlight wails in agony that she is up for elimination, reaffirm by Mr. Hand who carries her team out of the room. Gold Ingot praises Glass Shard's team for their creative exit, gifting Bag an elusive immunity token since Pan and Glass Shard already has win tokens. The immunity token paints a target on Bag's back for everyone, something she isn't too happy about. And with that, Gold Ingot asks the viewers to vote either Bottle, Flashlight or Post-it Note to leave the show as well as recommending a character in the comments section, signing off another episode.


  • Big "NO!": Glass Shard and Flashlight let out one when the former was grouped with the armless Pan and Bag and when the latter accidentally let Glass Shard's team escape and her team put up for elimination.
