Cold Open
Redstone and Cactus are seen playing a game of Battleship, until Redstone spots Cactus cheating. Cactus immediately asks how Redstone can tell that she's cheating, and he says that she's looking at Celly's reflection. He then asks what Celly is doing here anyway, and he responds that he's looking at Pentagon weightlifting. Pentagon accidentally drops the weight, screaming in agony. Redstone advises Celly to watch him somewhere else. Cactus says that just because she's looking at Celly's reflection, doesn't mean that she's cheating. Redstone asks her if it doesn't count as cheating, and Cactus replies with no. Redstone pulls out the instruction manual, looking for the rules until he finds and explains Rule 13. Cactus asks why is it bad to look at a mirror, and Redstone replies that it's a part of the rules. He then gets frustrated after Cactus says that she doesn't get it.

Charger then asks Satellite if he heared Redstone's groan, and he replies with no, and that he assumes that Redstone and Cactus are playing a game of Battleship. Charger asks how Satellite can tell, and he replies "Because we're 5 feet away from them." Charger questions but he is interrupted by Satellite, reminding the Red Team that the elimination will be in about 2 minutes. Redstone then asks Cactus if she can stop cheating in the game, but then Cactus mocks him, making Redstone angry and telling Cactus to stop it.

Elimination
The Red Team, as well as the hosts get teleported on the elimination area. Pentagon tells Satellite that they did had time, and that it was too difficult, but Satellite ignores him. He then is happy to see that the show has a new voting record, being approximately 44 votes, but no one is safe with 0-1 votes. Rose is happy to see that she's safe with 2 votes, Satellite then says what the prize will be, but then struggles to think what prize it will be, until he says that the prizes are floppy disks, as he gives Rose a floppy disk for being safe. Celly and Butter also get floppy disks for being safe with 3 votes, but then Butter is seen with the floppy disk in her "forehead" after Satellite threw the floppy disk to her. Satellite, before he reveals that Cactus is safe with 4 votes and throwing the floppy disk to her, complains about Cactus' knowledge with fixing machines.

It's now the bottom 4, Satellite reveals the reason why each contestant was voted, and they complain about why they got voted. Satellite declares that Chair and Pentagon are safe with 5 votes, and then he says that Redstone is safe with 6 votes, alongside Spindrift being eliminated with a 10 vote difference. Spindrift is then utterly mad about it and vehemethly complains about it, but then Satellite is tired to see her complain, as she is sent to Jupiter by Charger. When she lands on it, she is greeted by Snorp, but then immediately spots out that the other 4 have been killed. Snorp assumes that they had no potatoes to eat, and Spindrift fears about it, but then rants about Battery and Charger setting the eliminated contestants area to Jupiter.

After the elimination
Satellite is about to say the 7th challenge, but then his phone rings and picks it up. He then responds to someone and asks who he is. The person responds to not talk to him like that, and then he says that he's here to inform them that he'll be in the mainland in the next few seconds. Satellite doesn't get it until a portal appears in front of him and Charger, and Anthony comes out of the portal. He then introduces himself to Satellite and Charger after Charger asked him who he is. As soon as Anthony finishes introducing to him, they seem to be sleeping, Satellite then is angered to see that Anthony might steal the show after what he heard, although Anthony denies that. Bop It then asks Anthony why is he here, Anthony responds that he will see right now, as the CFTB contestants get thrown into the mainland, and the portal then disappears. Satellite realizes that today's episode is a crossover episode, but then says that it's not with Battle For The Win. Laptop gets mad about every episode his show crossovers with gets cancelled after 1-2 episodes, and then Wiimote comes in and tells him that he got a request with Inanimate Brawl, Laptop then declines the request, and is seen to be sad until Satellite rips the scene and crumples it into a crumpled piece of paper, and then announces that the 7th challenge will be to befriend with a contestant from Competition For The Bucks, as the idea was whispered by Anthony. Hourglass then asks Satellite if he's going to tell what the 7th challenge is, but then Lemony tells him to announce it, but then Hourglass immediately tells Lemony to shut up, until they are interrupted by Satellite ringing a hand bell, indicating them to stop arguing. Satellite then explains the challenge, and so it begins.

Challenge
Redstone asks Chair if the chalenge is just befriending the CFTB contestants, and Chair replies with "I guess so.". He then walks to Safe and Compass as he greets them, and Safe introduces Compass to Redstone. They agree to be friends, and so the Red Team gets 2 points. Then Magnet and Backpack walk to Arcade Machine, and he explains to them that he doesn't want to be like Arcade Machine from BOTO anymore after Backpack asked him if there's anything wrong. Backpack and Magnet then paint his decals, and this makes Arcade Machine happy. Anchor then comes in and compliments about Arcade Machine's new decals, saying that he's being actually nice for once, causing Magnet and Backpack to be amazed, but then they frown after Anchor said that he still hates it. Magnet then notices the rust on Anchor, and asks Anchor if he minds his rust being painted. He doesn't, Backpack then tells him that it won't be bad, but then Anchor declines it and kicks the paint can into Backpack's eyes, causing Backpack and Magnet to leave, making Arcade Machine sad.

Rose then accidentally bumps into Boomwhacker, and asks her if she can be a friend with her. Boomwhacker sees the similarties with herself and Rose, so she tells her to follow her, and then Rose does so. Rose is then lead to a gang of other objects, as then Boomwhacker tells her that she and others do a lot of crimes there, and then Rose asks her how come they aren't arrested, and then Boomwhacker tells her that they actually run away from the cops, and so she introduces Rose her friends. She also introduces Candy Corn as well, calling her the Fingerbleeder. Rose asks why, but then Candy Corn immediately bites one of Rose's fingers, as because she likes biting fingers every day. PC then asks where's Rose, but then Satellite replies that he doesn't. A scream is then heard from Jupiter, as it was Spindrift screaming for help. Satellite then goes to Jupiter along with PC and Charger, and then they see that the eliminated contestants are dead. Satellite then tells PC to recover them, but then he refuses due to his inability of recovering eliminated contestants. He and Charger then teleport to the mainland, and Satellite tells Spindrift and Snorp to bring the eliminated contestants in a big cube in order to be recovered by Satellite. He then shrinks it and flies to the mainland. Once he's here, he performs Orb Of Recovery, recovering the eliminated contestants. He then explains to them what happened, and then Pistol rants about his experience on Jupiter, and so the other eliminated contestants agree.

Gemini Ball meets up with Bongos, and so they agree to make a friendship. Ice Cream then wonders what Boomwhacker is doing, and so does Muggy. Ice Cream then notices footsteps, Muggy then decides to follow them. It then leads to the gang with Rose, with Ice Cream seeing Boomwhacker introducing her to her new friends. Muggy notices that Boomwhacker is actually introducing Rose to Cult of Crimes, a gang of criminals. Ice Cream is then angry about this, as she interrupts Boomwhacker. Ice Cream then decides to cut ties with Boomwhacker, along with Muggy also cutting ties with her. Boomwhacker doesn't even care, and prefers to stay in the C.O.C gang.

Arcade Machine then walks up to Anchor, ranting about his attitude. Anchor replies that he likes ruining relationships for no reason. They then argue until Anchor kicks Arcade Machine's screen, causing his death. Viacom, Beret, Bop It and Spatula are mad about this, but then Anchor responds that Arcade Machine was annoying. Redstone then asks Compass and Safe if they want to see Redstone's teammates, and they agree. He then introduces his teammates, but then realizes that Rose isn't here. Rose then realizes that they shouldn't have vandalized a statue to make it look like a clown, as Boomwhacker blames Spraypaint for doing it. She then finds a hiding spot, and Baton is mildly angry about this. Rose's phone then rings, she picks it up, as it is Redstone who wants her to say hello to Safe. She does so, but then is immediately caught by the cops. Celly then describes Rose's look to Safe and Compass, but then Cactus wants to play Sky Fighters for the SBOX 64, Safe saying that he likes this game.

Viacom is still seen complaining about Anchor's attitude, as the both of them argue until Anchor kicks one of his eyes. Satellite then comes in, asking for information about Magnet and Backpack's friendship. Anchor tells all the information, causing Satellite to declare French Team being up for elimination for having the least friendships. Neotron then immediately appears, complaining about it, but then he explodes due to his prediction. Satellite then declares that the Red Team is safe, while the French Team isn't. The French Team members are still mad at Anchor.

Stinger
In the stinger, we see Rose (along with BoomWhacker, Rubber Mallet and Spray can) in a prison cell, while Rose is looking at the celldoor with a sad expression. She then decided to get out of the prison, and later escapes the cell by squeezing herself between the bars, where she then runs away, triggering the alarm, with BoomWhacker, Card and Cigar waking up, this is where the episode ends.
