No.	Title	Directed by	Original release date
1	"Take the Plunge" [d]	Cary Huang & Michael Huang	January 1, 2010 (2010-01-01)
While 20 anthropomorphic objects are interacting with each other in a grassland, a dark gray speaker box called the Announcer descends from the sky and announces the existence of Dream Island, an island designed to be the ultimate paradise, and that whoever owns the island can decide who is allowed onto it. He starts a contest for the island with the 20 objects as contestants. The first challenge is to see who can stay on a balance beam the longest. Two of the objects, Pin and Leafy, win the first contest and get to organize the teams of the competition; the Squishy Cherries [e] and the Squashy Grapes. [f] The second contest is a race to make a boat and row it to the finish line across a canal, which the Squishy Cherries win.
2	"Barriers and Pitfalls"	Cary Huang & Michael Huang	February 1, 2010 (2010-02-01)
Because Pin won the challenge for her team, she obtains a "Win Token", which allows her to halve her votes during the elimination ceremony, called Cake at Stake. Said ceremony is attended by the losing team's members. They get cake slices until there are none left, revealing the eliminated contestant, who will be treated with a vaguely described "TLC". Flower is eliminated with 4 votes, and though she attempts to murder the Announcer with an "Announcer crusher", the crusher explodes and she is sent away. The contest is an obstacle course, won by the Squashy Grapes. Needle obtains a Win Token for finishing the challenge first.
3	"Are You Smarter Than a Snowball?"	Cary Huang & Michael Huang	March 1, 2010 (2010-03-01)
The Cake at Stake is key lime pie, and Spongy is eliminated with four votes. The contest is a quiz, which is initially won by the Squishy Cherries until it is revealed that Blocky and Pen cheated, giving the victory to the Squashy Grapes. Golf Ball obtains a Win Token for having the highest score on the test.
4	"Sweet Tooth"	Cary Huang & Michael Huang	April 1, 2010 (2010-04-01)
The Cake at Stake is ice, and Blocky is eliminated with 6 votes. The contest consists of two parts: to bake cakes that will be rated by Announcer, Flower, and a die, and to eat 100 chocolate balls. The Squashy Grapes win in a tiebreaker, and Pin gains her second Win Token for having the highest scoring cake.
5	"Bridge Crossing"	Cary Huang & Michael Huang	May 1, 2010 (2010-05-01)
The Cake at Stake is an ice cream cake, and Woody is eliminated with 9 votes. The "TLC" makes its first physical appearance as a giant metal box called the Tiny Loser Chamber, and Woody is sent there. The contest is to cross a bridge. No one does, so a tiebreaker occurs, which the Squashy Grapes win. No one receives a Win Token in this episode.
6	"Power of Three"	Cary Huang & Michael Huang	June 1, 2010 (2010-06-01)
The Cake at Stake is cupcakes, and Pin is eliminated with 5 votes. The teams are temporarily split into five teams of three, and the contest is to get across 3 islands. On island 1, the contestants are tasked with looking through safes to find rafts and paddles. Island 2 has ten keys hanging from poles, which are used to unlock a locked building on island 3. However, five of the keys are fake, forcing their holders to go back to island 2 and get another key. Coiny, Ice Cube, and Needle lose the contest, and Eraser, Firey, and Pen all get Win Tokens for finishing first.
7	"Puzzling Mysteries"	Cary Huang & Michael Huang	July 1, 2010 (2010-07-01)
The Cake at Stake is key lime pie again, and Needle is eliminated with 12 votes, even after halving her votes to 6 with a win token. When the TLC doesn't close properly, Pencil points out that it has already reached its maximum capacity. Therefore, the Announcer decides that the winners get to take a contestant from the losing team, with no one getting eliminated. The contest is to solve a jigsaw puzzle, won by the Squashy Grapes. Per the Announcer's decision, Squashy Grapes choose Firey to switch to their team. No one receives a Win Token in this episode.
8	"Cycle of Life"	Cary Huang & Michael Huang	August 1, 2010 (2010-08-01)
The contest is a race where each contestant has to carry one of their other team members, except for the last contestant, who doesn't carry anyone. The Announcer also promises a prize for the winning team, and that no one is eliminated again. Because the Squashy Grapes have more members than the Squishy Cherries at this point, five of them are chosen by the wheel to participate: Firey, Ice Cube, Leafy, Golf Ball, and Rocky. The Squashy Grapes win, and their prize is that they get to have an eliminated player on their team. No one receives a Win Token in this episode.
9	"Insectophobe's Nightmare"	Cary Huang & Michael Huang	September 1, 2010 (2010-09-01)
Blocky rejoins the game on the Squashy Grapes with 8 votes, which are then split into the Squashy Grapes (Blocky, Ice Cube, Leafy, Snowball and Teardrop) and Another Name (Coiny, Firey, Golf Ball, Rocky and Tennis Ball). Blocky receives a Win Token for rejoining. A new elimination system is introduced, in which the two most voted contestants from the team that was last are voted on by the team that placed first; one contestant will join the winning team, and the other will be eliminated. The contest is a six-legged race, in which Squishy Cherries place first and Squashy Grapes in last.
10	"Crybaby!"	Cary Huang & Michael Huang	October 1, 2010 (2010-10-01)
The Cake at Stake is modelling clay, with the bottom two being Teardrop and Snowball, at 5 and 18 votes respectively. Teardrop is eliminated from a 3-2 vote, with Snowball being moved to the Squishy Cherries. The contest, which is for each team to fill their tub as much as they can with tears, ends in a tie. The tiebreaker is a skiing contest in which the Squishy Cherries and Another Name are rolled into snowballs, needing an additional tiebreaker; a handstanding contest won by the Squishy Cherries. Eraser gains a Win Token for handstanding the longest.
11	"Lofty"	Cary Huang & Michael Huang	November 1, 2010 (2010-11-01)
Starting from this episode onward, the show would feature fan-made recommended characters from viewers, with Bomby being the first under this title. The Cake at Stake is an imaginary cake, with the bottom two being Golf Ball, at 12 votes (6 after using her win token), and Rocky, at 15. Golf Ball is eliminated from a 0-6 vote, with Rocky moved to the Squishy Cherries. The contest is try to stay up in the air with balloons, which the Squashy Grapes win and Another Name lose. No one receives a Win Token in this episode.
12	"A Leg Up in the Race"	Cary Huang & Michael Huang	December 1, 2010 (2010-12-01)

The contest is to climb ladders.
13	"Don't Lose Your Marbles"	Cary Huang & Michael Huang	January 1, 2011 (2011-01-01)
The Cake at Stake is fish, with the bottom third being Snowball, Bubble, Rocky, and Tennis Ball. Snowball is eliminated with 47 votes. The contest is to find and bring a red ball to the Announcer. There are also maroon balls, which subtract points instead of adding them.
14	"Half a Loaf Is Better Than None"	Cary Huang & Michael Huang	February 1, 2011 (2011-02-01)
The Cake at Stake is fruitcake, with the bottom third being Match, Ice Cube, Rocky, and Tennis Ball. Match is eliminated with 66 votes. The eliminated contestants get a contest to carry loaves to their basket until the deadline, won by Spongy, who rejoins the competition and gains 38 points, one for each loaf of bread carried. The next contest is to jump over obstacles on a conveyor belt. Blocky and Bubble last the longest.
15	"Vomitaco"	Cary Huang & Michael Huang	March 1, 2011 (2011-03-01)
The Cake at Stake is nickels, with the bottom third being Ice Cube, Leafy, Eraser, and Firey. Eraser is eliminated with 99 votes. There are two contests: to stay on floating islands in a giant barf bag, and to make a taco rated by the eliminated contestants.
16	"Bowling, Now with Explosions!"	Cary Huang & Michael Huang	April 1, 2011 (2011-04-01)

The Cake at Stake is knives, and Blocky is eliminated with 112 votes. The contest is to throw and catch frisbees as a pair.

The characters eligible for entry are 8-Ball, Balloony, Barf Bag, Basketball, Bell, Bomby, Book, Clock, Cloudy, David, Dora, Eggy, Evil Leafy, Fanny, Fries, Grassy, Marker, Naily, Nickel, Nonexisty, Pie, Pillow, Remote, Robot Flower, Roboty, Ruby, Saw, Taco, Tree and TV.
18	"Reveal Novum"	Cary Huang & Michael Huang	June 1, 2011 (2011-06-01)
The eliminated contestants plot their escape from the TLC, but the Announcer appears and tells them to stop planning. The Cake at Stake is a cracker, and Leafy and Tennis Ball tie for elimination with two votes. The tiebreaker is to jump over a gap, eliminating Tennis Ball who falls. David joins the game as the recommended character with 102 votes. The other recommended characters are sent to the Locker of Losers (LOL), a huge, navy blue box similar to the TLC, with a lock to prevent attempts of escape. [g] The scoreboard gets downgraded, so it can only hold two-digit numbers. The contest is a staring contest, won by Pencil. While the staring contest is underway, the eliminated contestants attempt to escape the TLC, which backfires and they nearly drown in the river until they are saved by the sunrise. When points are given out, Pencil's score overflows, and she ends up in the bottom third.
19	"Rescission"	Cary Huang & Michael Huang	July 1, 2011 (2011-07-01)
The Cake at Stake is shovels covered in mud. The bottom three are Spongy, Firey, and Pencil; Pencil is eliminated with 259 votes.

For winning first, Bubble is allowed to choose another contestant to have immunity, choosing Leafy.
20	"Gardening Hero"	Cary Huang & Michael Huang	August 1, 2011 (2011-08-01)
Announcer moves the competition to outer space due to "budget cuts". The Cake at Stake is ice cream cake again, with Spongy, Ice Cube, and David up for voting. David is eliminated with 331 votes. The contest is to get in a spaceship and shoot lasers at other contestants. Bubble wins, and once again picks Leafy to have immunity alongside her. Announcer invites the viewers to vote on an eliminated contestant to rejoin the game, while the non-immune contestants will be voted on by the previously eliminated.
21	"The Glistening"	Cary Huang & Michael Huang	September 1, 2011 (2011-09-01)
The contestants return to Earth. There is no Cake at Stake item; Ice Cube is the most voted to be eliminated. Flower rejoins the game with 205 votes. The contest is a long jump competition, won by Leafy, although she gives up her immunity to Spongy because she feels bad for having used him as fuel for the spaceship.
22	"Don't Pierce My Flesh"	Cary Huang & Michael Huang	October 1, 2011 (2011-10-01)
The Announcer gets crushed by Spongy, so Firey and Flower bring out their personal speaker boxes to host. The Cake at Stake is "yoylecake" (a cake composed of fictional "yoyleberries"), and Rocky is eliminated with 319 votes. The contest is to escape a volcano. The contestants all tie, so Firey and Flower's Speaker Boxes do a beauty contest. They declare their creators as the winners, giving Firey and Flower immunity.
23	"Hurtful!"	Cary Huang & Michael Huang	November 1, 2011 (2011-11-01)
The Announcer gets recovered, more speaker boxes show up, and the Cake at Stake is cheese slices. Spongy is eliminated with 432 votes. The contest is to complete every previous contest in order from episode 1 to 22. Near the end, Bubble and Leafy argue about their friendship, and then Flower kills Leafy. Bubble then kills Flower and proceeds to win immunity. Firey is given a penalty (holding a sign asking the viewers to vote for him) for performing poorly during the challenge.
24	"Insectophobe's Nightmare 2"	Cary Huang & Michael Huang	December 1, 2011 (2011-12-01)
Firey and Leafy hang out in the former's ferris wheel. However, Firey installed a lava fall on it. Unable to escape, Leafy is burned to death. She doesn't get recovered for Cake at Stake, as the Announcer sold the recovery centers due to "budget cuts". Firey doesn't believe him, so he bets his life savings. Announcer accepts the bet and tells Firey that the recovery centers really were sold. Announcer abruptly cancels the show after seeing that they received fewer votes than last time. Flower throws a nest of bug eggs at the Announcer in anger, causing bugs to infest the area, and everyone runs, attempting to save themselves. None of the contestants survive: Firey, the TLC prisoners, and all the recommended characters are devoured by the bugs, Flower gets hit by a meteor and falls into a canyon, and the Announcer pops Bubble because she learned he made the bugs. The Announcer eventually finds a button that deletes the bug swarm, and realizes that David survived because he is immune to them. The Announcer continues the competition with clones of David. The Cake at Stake is red velvet cake, and Flower is eliminated with 524 votes. At that point, the contestants suddenly come back, all having faked their deaths. There is no contest, so the Announcer invites the viewers to vote who should win Dream Island. In addition, the Announcer promises that a second season will only happen if they receive 1,000 votes. In the stinger, it is revealed that the Announcer bought new recovery centers for the final 3 and himself with Firey's life savings.
25	"Return of the Hang Glider"	Cary Huang & Michael Huang	January 1, 2012 (2012-01-01)
After releasing the eliminated contestants, the Announcer holds the final Cake at Stake for Bubble, Leafy and Firey. There were only 870 votes, which supposedly meant no Season 2 would occur. The cake is a Grand Cake, made up of all the previous cakes. Before the Announcer can declare the winner, Flower damages him, affecting his speech. With 406 out of 870 votes, Firey wins the cake and Dream Island. When choosing who gets to enter, Firey lets everyone in except for runner-up Leafy, who he excludes because he was hurt by her wanting to get off his ferris wheel. Angered, Leafy buys Dream Island from the Announcer. When the other contestants find Dream island missing, they head outside to search for it, while Tennis Ball, Match, Snowball and Woody are beamed up by the Announcer's UFO. After Bubble calls out Flower for her behavior, the latter destroys all of the recovery centers in a fit of rage and pops the former. She is in turn crushed to death by the UFO. It is also revealed that Woody died from fear of the UFO's gray color. Announcer and the other speaker boxes leave on the UFO back to their home. When the others find out about Leafy stealing Dream Island, they threaten to kill her via Flower's announcer crusher. Before she is crushed, Firey swoops in using a hang glider and saves her, telling her that he values their friendship more than the island, as they fly away towards the sunset.

Season 2: Battle for Dream Island Again (2012–2013, 2023–present)

No.	Title	Directed by	Written by	Original release date
1	"Yeah, Who? I Wanna Know"	Cary Huang & Michael Huang	Cary Huang & Michael Huang	June 29, 2012 (2012-06-29)
Leafy, with the rest of the cast in hot pursuit, escapes into Yoyleland (where previously-seen "yoyleberries" come from) using a map, which Pin rips up, rendering Leafy unable to return. Sixty-two contestants are eligible for entry into the second season, including the 20 original contestants, the 30 recommended characters from "The Reveal", and twelve additional characters: Black Hole, Bottle, Bracelety, Cake, Donut, Firey Jr., Gaty, Gelatin, Lightning, Lollipop, Puffball and Yellow Face. [h] Twenty of these contestants qualify, as well as two chosen to automatically join, making the final total 22. Originally, the contestants that were supposed to join were Bubble, Coiny, Firey, Flower, Golf Ball, Ice Cube, Leafy, Needle, Match, Pencil, Pin, Rocky, Spongy, Teardrop and Tennis Ball, alongside newcomers Bomby, Donut, Dora, Fries, Gelatin, Nickel and Ruby. However, since Bubble, Flower and Leafy are absent, they are disqualified and replaced with additional newcomers Book, Puffball and Yellow Face. Contestants who failed to debut are sent to the Tiny Loser Chamber. TV, a previously recommended character, begins to host this season. Teams form, with original contestants on one team and newcomers on the other. Donut points out that his team is smaller, and, after an argument with Pencil, he chooses Match to switch. It is then revealed that one can switch teams before the challenge begins. Match switches back, and then everyone except Donut follows suit. Coiny then switches to Donut's team, and, through peer pressure, Pin switches as well. The challenge is a game of tug-of-war, which the smaller team quickly loses. Instead of voting in the comments, viewers can like or dislike a contestant's video, with the most-liked getting to spin a prize wheel and the most-disliked getting eliminated.
2	"Get Digging"	Cary Huang & Michael Huang	Cary Huang & Michael Huang	August 1, 2012 (2012-08-01)
The smaller team is named W.O.A.H. Bunch, [i] and the larger team is dubbed Team No-Name. Coiny wins the prize with 448 likes, and Donut is eliminated with 573 dislikes. The Tiny Loser Chamber, with the newly eliminated Donut, is then put inside the Locker of Losers. Coiny's prize is yoyleseeds. Teardrop is forced to switch to the smaller team, and the contest is to make "yoylestew", won by W.O.A.H. Bunch.
3	"Insectophobe's Nightmare 3"	Cary Huang & Michael Huang	Cary Huang & Michael Huang	August 15, 2012 (2012-08-15)

4	"Zeeky Boogy Doog"	Cary Huang & Michael Huang	Cary Huang & Michael Huang	November 1, 2012 (2012-11-01)
Teardrop wins the prize with 502 likes, though is also eliminated with 440 dislikes. Teardrop's prize was to choose between immunity into the final 15 or a "Hand-Powered Recovery Center" (HPRC), which can recover any contestant via turning a large hand crank; she chooses the HPRC. Bomby and Yellow Face switch to W.O.A.H. Bunch. The contest is to build a new Dream Island, which will be dubbed "Dream Island Again" and will be the season's prize. Team No-Name goes to Golf Ball's Underground Factory, and she uses Dream Sauce to create a magnificent new Dream Island Again. This catches the attention of Coiny, prompting him to throw Bomby into the factory and destroy the island. W.O.A.H. Bunch wins the contest, with their "Dream Island Again" being a poorly-made farm.
5a	"Get in the Van"	Cary Huang & Michael Huang	Cary Huang & Michael Huang	January 2, 2013 (2013-01-02)
Pin accidentally stabs Puffball Speaker Box, resulting in Firey bringing out his personal speaker box to host. The Cake at Stake is chunks of Donut's corpse. Puffball wins the prize with 424 likes, and Match is eliminated with 426 dislikes, but Pencil saves her from being sent to the Locker of Losers. Puffball's prize is to choose which contestant should have their limbs removed, and she chooses Pin. Nickel and Spongy switch to W.O.A.H. Bunch, and Book, Ice Cube, Pencil, and Ruby make their own team, named FreeSmart. Match and Bubble, the latter of which was recovered in the previous episode, join as honorary members. The contest is to get to the summit of the far away Yoyle Mountain, in Yoyleland.
5b	"BFDIA 5b"	Cary Huang & Michael Huang	Cary Huang & Michael Huang	February 11, 2013 (2013-02-11)
This part of the episode is a puzzle-platform game using Adobe Flash. [‡ 1] The FreeSmart members, trapped inside Evil Leafy (a red, hostile version of Leafy introduced earlier) after the events of BFDIA 5a, traverse through and escape her body using different abilities.
5c	"No More Snow!"	Cary Huang & Michael Huang	Cary Huang & Michael Huang	April 14, 2013 (2013-04-14)
After the events of BFDIA 5b, Book and Ruby successfully escape Evil Leafy, with the other FreeSmart members including Bubble and Match missing or dead. W.O.A.H. Bunch falls into the "Evil Canyon", so Coiny says Spongy should jump onto the spikes at the bottom so the other team members can land onto him. The remaining FreeSmart and W.O.A.H. Bunch members meet up and the Firey Speaker Box brings out a "Hand-Powered HPRC creator". They crank the handle until the HPRC is created.
5d	"It's a Monster"	Cary Huang & Michael Huang	Cary Huang & Michael Huang	July 2, 2013 (2013-07-02)
The FreeSmart and W.O.A.H. Bunch members are still cranking even after 78 days. Finally, an HPRC comes out, and they recover their dead team members. W.O.A.H. Bunch also recovers Puffball, so they can make her fly them to Yoyleland. This fails and they get frozen with "Freeze Juice".
5e	"The Long-lost Yoyle City"	Cary Huang & Michael Huang	Cary Huang & Michael Huang	August 2, 2013 (2013-08-02)
Team No-Name is flying over Davidland, an area consisting of thousands of David clones, on Puffball. Meanwhile, FreeSmart is in their personal van, the FreeSmart Supervan, at Yoyleland, and they arrive at Yoyleland's signature landmark, the abandoned but well-preserved Yoyle City. Ruby accidentally glues the Hand-Powered Recovery Center to the ground, and Pencil gets trapped by a fish's tongue. FreeSmart uses a saw to kill her, and they recover her using the Hand-Powered Recovery Center. FreeSmart and Team No-Name get to Yoyle Mountain, where they are met by the Firey Speaker Box. FreeSmart gets to the summit first. Firey Speaker Box realizes that Match isn't in the TLC, so he sends her there. While Team No-Name is about to reach the summit, Puffball betrays her team members by dropping them to be eaten by the fish. W.O.A.H. Bunch reaches the summit, which means Team No-Name loses the contest.
6	"Well Rested"	Cary Huang & Michael Huang	Cary Huang	September 1, 2023 (2023-09-01)
Puffball is eliminated at Cake at Stake. Before the challenge, Rocky, who was on Team No-Name, is convinced to switch to W.O.A.H. Bunch, much to the former team's dismay. The challenge is to find a suitable place for the team members to have a good nights' sleep. The challenge results in team W.O.A.H. Bunch being unable to sleep due to being chased by Evil Leafy for the entire night.
7	"Intruder Alert"	Cary Huang & Michael Huang	Cary Huang	October 1, 2023 (2023-10-01)
Ruby catches a Yoylite meteorite, which is coveted by Tennis Ball and Golf Ball for its rarity and power. Rocky is eliminated at Cake at Stake. The challenge is to build a replacement for the Tiny Loser Chamber which will be used to store the future eliminated contestants, as the current Tiny Loser Chamber (with all of the failed debuters and eliminated contestants inside it) is locked with no way to open it. Tennis Ball instructs Firey and Gelatin to switch to FreeSmart for one challenge in order to get the Yoylite. As a result, FreeSmart loses the challenge due to Firey and Gelatin not telling them what the challenge is. The one surviving replacement for the TLC is a rather shoddy-looking structure, dubbed the Weak Trembling Fortress (WTF). Rocky is placed in the WTF.
8	"Meaty"	Cary Huang & Michael Huang	Cary Huang	November 13, 2023 (2023-11-13)
Firey is eliminated at Cake at Stake and sent to the WTF. As a result, Firey Speaker Box becomes too sad to host. Puffball Speaker Box is brought back to host. The challenge is to paint a replica of the Eiffel Tower. W.O.A.H. Bunch loses due to Gelatin giving glasses to Puffball Speaker Box which makes her see W.O.A.H. Bunch's paint color, purple, as yellow. Note: Zach Kornfeld guest stars in this episode.
9	"Catch These Hands"	Anthony Acedo, Cary Huang, Michael Huang & Joseph Pak	Cary Huang	January 31, 2024 (2024-01-31)
Nickel is attempting to scrub pink paint off himself. Ice Cube mentions that, being pink, she is now technically a strawberry milk cube. After Ruby recovers herself, she chomps on Ice Cube, and because Ice Cube was covered in lead paint, Ruby vomits it out. The lead paint vomit then begins corroding the Eiffel Tower. The Cake at Stake starts in FreeSmart's "Total Clubhouse of Awesomeness" at the top of the tower, with the prize being a paper airplane ticket out of the clubhouse, and Yellow Face is eliminated after Purple Face, his nemesis, steals his win tokens. The challenge is a time-based game of charades, where contestants have to answer correctly before their teammate is crushed by a trash compactor. Team No-Name is out due to them running out of players first. Contestants who were killed are sent to the underworld, where they are turned into realistic versions of themselves, though they are eventually recovered and turned back later on.
10	"Taste the Sweetness"	Anthony Acedo, Cary Huang, Michael Huang & Joseph Pak	Cary Huang	March 1, 2024 (2024-03-01)
Gelatin is eliminated at Cake at Stake and sent to the WTF. Amazed by Ice Cube's "beautiful face" (her rapidly moving her tongue), almost all of the contestants, sans Fries, switch to FreeSmart, now called the "Beautiful Face Devotion Institute". [j] The challenge is to sell the most ice cream before the first snowflake of winter arrives. Fries wins the challenge. Note: Zach Kornfeld and TomSka guest star in this episode.
11	"Lots of Mud"	Anthony Acedo, Cary Huang, Michael Huang & Joseph Pak	Cary Huang & Joseph Pak	April 1, 2024 (2024-04-01)
Ice Cube gets the challenge reward, which is to remove a contestant's face of her choice. Ice Cube chooses Pin, effectively rendering her completely insentient. Spongy gets eliminated, but not before accidentally killing Puffball Speaker Box. Golf Ball causes the Beautiful Face Devotion Institute to divide, with everyone returning the teams to what they were before "Taste the Sweetness".

In the newly-built "Atwosment Park", Saw and Cloudy are the first to be eliminated under the new double-elimination format. In memory of Saw, her team gathers around a "funny plant" she liked, until it is suddenly destroyed. The "funny plant" is then revealed to be a critically endangered species on the verge of extinction, and the teams are tasked to protect the seven remaining specimens in different regions of the world. Just Not and Death P.A.C.T. Again lose. Despite their efforts, the "funny plant" goes extinct anyway due to a series of events that destroy the other teams' specimens.
5	"Fishes and Dishes"	Cary Huang, Michael Huang & Sam Thornbury	Sam Thornbury	May 4, 2023 (2023-05-04)
Naily and Remote are eliminated. Two buys some new plates, but they are flung into the Goiky Canal. The teams are challenged to traverse the waters and each retrieve a plate to win immunity. The Strongest Team on Earth and Are You Okay fail to do so.
6	"The Great Goikian Bake-Off"	Cary Huang, Michael Huang & Sam Thornbury	Sam Thornbury	July 9, 2023 (2023-07-09)
Eggy and Fries are eliminated. Four and X return as chefs in Two's hotel, but don't allow them to eat their food, so the teams are challenged to make dinner for Two. The S and Death P.A.C.T. Again lose the challenge.
7	"The Seven Wonders of Goiky"	Cary Huang, Michael Huang & Sam Thornbury	Sam Thornbury	September 10, 2023 (2023-09-10)
Clock and Lightning are eliminated, and while Clock is allowed to remain a spectator due to an unresolved conflict with Winner, Lightning is so angered by his elimination that he unleashes a thunderstorm, destroying seven monuments across Goiky (the continent where the show occurs), including the moon. Conflict arises within Death P.A.C.T. Again as Fanny questions if their death-prevention goal is worthwhile. Robot Flower has Basketball overwrite her personality to that of Flower's, but her personality becomes that of Flower from the first season after Just Not's strategy inadvertently causes a blackout during the download, resulting in Robot Flower going on a violent rampage against all the failed debutants in the hotel. Just Not and The S lose the challenge.
8	"Balancing P.A.C.T."	Cary Huang, Michael Huang & Sam Thornbury	Sam Thornbury	October 25, 2023 (2023-10-25)
Cake and Rocky are eliminated, with Rocky barfing into a volcano before Two sends him away. The teams are challenged to remain on a balance beam that was repaired in the last challenge, an homage to the first episode of BFDI. Teardrop falls ill from absorbing Barf Bag's vomit, so Snowball and Grassy volunteer to help her. Are You Okay and Team8s lose.
9	"Outbreak at Stake"	Cary Huang, Michael Huang & Sam Thornbury	Sam Thornbury	December 18, 2023 (2023-12-18)
Puffball and Coiny are eliminated, and Barf Bag zombifies after being re-filled with vomit-infused lava. A zombie apocalypse spreads, infecting many of the contestants and Two. The contestants are tasked to prevent their team from getting infected, and the two teams with the most members killed/infected are up for elimination. Due to poor wireless connection between Two and Just Not, Pillow misinterprets the challenge as having to kill her teammates, not protect them, and causes her team to lose. Teardrop, who had sacrificed herself during the challenge to produce an antidote, is automatically eliminated due to her still being on a solo team. In the episode's stinger, One, another Algebralien, emerges from the damaged moon.
10	"Oneirophobe's Nightmare"	Cary Huang, Michael Huang & Sam Thornbury	Sam Thornbury	March 13, 2024 (2024-03-13)
Nickel is eliminated. Everyone is irritable from the outbreak last episode, which annoys Two, so they make the challenge to enter a teammate's nightmare and help them face their fears as a bonding experience. Fanny and Black Hole discuss the motives of Death P.A.C.T., while Winner confronts their past, revealing that they and Loser used to be a performing duo until they eventually drifted apart due to their differing opinions of handling their fame, and makes up with Clock. Just Not and The Strongest Team on Earth lose.
11	"Out Of The Blue"	Cary Huang, Michael Huang & Sam Thornbury	Niall Burns, Michael Huang, Sutton Hull & Sam Thornbury	June 14, 2024 (2024-06-14)
The EXIT's inhabitants try to devise a new plan to escape Four by getting resources they need from the Fourest and splitting up to make the plan easier. They spend years getting said resources as an attempt to escape Four. They eventually escape Four, but then Two forces them into the hotel's kitchen to work in an attempt to compromise with Four's insistence of putting them back in the EXIT. The "EXITors", angered by this, try to escape. Purple Face gets trapped inside Four trying to "save" the "EXITors" later on, not realizing they already left.
12	"What's Up Bell's String?"	Cary Huang, Michael Huang & Sam Thornbury	Sam Thornbury Story by: Niall Burns & Sutton Hull	July 15, 2024 (2024-07-15)
After Bomby and Bell's eliminations, the remaining contestants are shuffled into four new teams: Death P.A.C.T. Yet Again, [ad] Team 2, [ae] "BAGGED" [af] and CloudYAY. [ag] The new teams are tasked to fill their respective pits with whatever they can find, and CloudYAY and "BAGGED" lose. One starts to write deals with contestants, and Basketball begins to follow her as she grows suspicious. The "EXITors" manage to escape the kitchen, and Two allows one of them to join TPOT. In a post-credits scene, Basketball is noticed and One kidnaps her.
13	"Category One"	Cary Huang, Michael Huang & Sam Thornbury	Niall Burns & Sam Thornbury	September 14, 2024 (2024-09-14)
One continues to meddle in the game, creating a massive hurricane that rages through Goiky (forcing everyone into the hotel in the process), and making a second "EXITor" allowed to join, with Pencil accompanying Liy in entering the competition. The two join CloudYAY and "BAGGED", respectively, while the remaining "EXITors" are thrown into the storm. With Barf Bag and Needle eliminated, the challenge is for each team to stop a specific part of the chaos from reaching Two and disturbing their sleep. Robot Flower's rage reaches a climax, and Fanny and Tennis Ball work together to reset her; Basketball is ultimately coerced into signing a contract to bring Robot Flower's original personality back. The four have Black Hole suck up the storm to end the hurricane, and Team 2 and Death P.A.C.T. Yet Again lose. Match is carried by the storm to the former Battle for B.F.B. grounds where she reunites with Bubble and Ruby, while Firey discovers that Leafy had gone missing during the hurricane.
14	"I SAID CAREFUL!!!"	Cary Huang, Michael Huang & Sam Thornbury	Niall Burns, Sutton Hull & Sam Thornbury	November 9, 2024 (2024-11-09)
TPOT's failed debuters host Cake at Stake. After Eraser and Gaty's eliminations, Two is distraught by the latter's elimination, and instead allows Gaty to work in Four and X's kitchen. The challenge is to capture one of two flags; either from atop a snowy mountain, or atop a volcano. Three of four teams go for the snowy mountain, and once it is captured, they attempt to team up to stop CloudYAY from capturing the volcano flag. Death P.A.C.T. Yet Again and "BAGGED" lose.
15	"Seasonal Shift"	Sam Thornbury	Niall Burns, Sutton Hull & Sam Thornbury	January 1, 2025 (2025-01-01)
Manipulated by One, the failed debuters discover the Yoylite from "Start the Shift" and learn of its time-traveling capabilities. They are transported to different periods in the past, which results in alterations to the series' timeline, and a large crack in the sky, known as the "Rift", is formed as a result. With Basketball and Robot Flower eliminated, Black Hole tries to hold the Rift shut, and tasks the contestants to time travel to different episodes in the series to fix differences, correct the timeline, and catch the debuters. Death P.A.C.T. Yet Again and Team 2 lose. The timeline is further damaged along the way, causing the Rift to grow exponentially larger, ultimately culminating in Pencil's attempt to change her past accidentally resulting in Leafy being allowed onto Dream Island by Firey in "Return of the Hang Glider", causing the universe to collapse. Gaty signs One's deal to prevent the end of the universe, and thus most of the changes to the timeline are reversed, but the Rift still remains in the sky. Upon hearing that the timeline is still imperfect, Two is horrified to notice that Gaty is missing. Note: Kevin MacLeod, TomSka, Jacksfilms, Gooseworx, and Michael Gregory of Schmoyoho were also featured in this episode as voice actors.
16	"The Power of Four"	Cary Huang, Michael Huang & Sam Thornbury	Niall Burns & Sam Thornbury	February 24, 2025 (2025-02-24)
With Two far too depressed upon Gaty's disappearance, Four and X take over as hosts. After Pin and Ice Cube are eliminated, the challenge is a game of hide-and-seek, with both Four and X as separate seekers—the team with the most contestants found by Four and the team with the most contestants found by X respectively are up for elimination. CloudYAY loses the most to both, leaving them up for a double elimination.
17	"Bottle for Dream Island"	Sam Thornbury	Niall Burns & Sam Thornbury Story by: Sutton Hull	April 15, 2025 (2025-04-15)
Bottle assumes hosting duties while Four and X are busy. Eliminating Yellow Face and Pillow, she sends the contestants to the revamped Atwosment Park containing four separate challenges, each with one member from each team participating. During the contest, Donut is kidnapped by One, who offers him a deal in exchange for his arms back (which were previously stolen by Yellow Face in "Balancing P.A.C.T."). After Donut questions and refuses her contract, One tears off his legs and kicks him out of her dimension, where he later uses Yellow Face's limbs that he finds in a bush. During the contest, Price Tag discovers that the effects of Loser's lie had gone outside the competition and that he was canceled online, and "BAGGED" and Team 2 lose. While exploring the Equation Playground, Bell, Bomby, Barf Bag and Needle come across Six, who, after learning of their encounters with One, joins them and leads them to another door leading to the Fourest, which Purple Face opens for them on the other side.
18	"BFB 31"	Florence Chapell & Sam Thornbury	Florence Chapell & Sam Thornbury	June 21, 2025 (2025-06-21)
Lollipop loses her credit card and suspects that someone has stolen it. Four sets up an exhibition challenge, sending some of the former Battle for B.F.B. contestants into each other's memories to figure out who stole the card. Blocky figures out that the card was hidden in some couch cushions, though it turns out to have been taken by Match after making up with Bubble. After the challenge, Loser is overcome with guilt after learning of Winner's presence in TPOT, and ventures out to find them.
19	"Last One Standing"	Sam Thornbury	Sutton Hull & Sam Thornbury	July 14, 2025 (2025-07-14)
Four learns of One's presence after distributing Two's power to the remaining contestants in an effort to hold off the Rift. As the Earth is plunged into darkness, TV (eliminated alongside Snowball, who is sent away while still having a portion of Two's power) hosts Cake at Stake and initiates a battle royale as the next challenge. Purple Face leads the deal-signers and Six to the locked door to the EXIT, and Six reveals Three is also in the Fourest. One kidnaps Donut again, revealing to him that she had completely erased Gaty from existence as part of the contract, and does the same to Barf Bag and Basketball until Donut reluctantly gives up his portion of Two's power. Eventually, Pencil, having disposed of the recovery center, acquires almost all of Two's power from the dead contestants and TV (with Death P.A.C.T. Yet Again and "BAGGED" losing the challenge), and takes Four's power as well. She is confronted by One, who offers her a chance to redo the events of BFDI in exchange for Two and Four's powers; Pencil obliges and is sent back in time. One sends Four away and blasts off into space, continuing to wreak havoc while the fate of the Earth remains uncertain. Grassy, who Pencil spared, and Winner, who was recovered by Price Tag via a wireless controller, are the only contestants left alive.
20	"Alone"	Sam Thornbury	Sam Thornbury	October 17, 2025 (2025-10-17) [ah]
In a flashback, a young One is constantly excluded from the other Algebraliens' activities. One day, she discovers a Yoylite meteor that grants her powers. After showing the meteor to Three and helping them gain their own power, she is heartbroken to discover the next morning that Three shared their secret with the rest of the numbers. An argument between them leads to One using her powers to shatter Three before quickly being overcome by regret, trying to revive them, and partly succeeding, though Three is now in a disfigured and catatonic state. Four leads the other numbers (except for Two and Three) in banishing One for her actions, sealing her inside the moon. The numbers all agree to leave their home planet to hide from One in case she breaks out, with Four keeping Three in the Fourest and Six assigned to stay behind. One later plots to exact revenge and fights other characters she has kidnapped. Back in the present, One pays Four back by sealing him in the moon and kicking it into space, then finds Nine on another planet, destroys it and abducts them. Meanwhile, Winner and Loser make up with each other before attempting to repair the damaged recovery center. They are joined by Firey Jr., who had respawned from Loser's discarded torch.
