Plot
Grian starts his episode with his own introduction video. He gathers materials, crafts tools, and comes across SmallishBeans; they realize they aren’t bonded as Joel takes damage without Grian taking damage. Joel leaves Grian to go look for his soulmate.

Grian gathers food and finds Smajor1995 and Rendog just as Ren kills a frog. Grian hits Ren and Scott hits Grian, but none of them are bonded to each other. Grian later finds ZombieCleo who is mining under him, and she comes up to the surface so they can do the test; they find that they aren’t bonded either.

Grian mines iron and coal on a mountain, smelts the iron, and obtains a goat horn. Scott meets him on the mountain and Grian complains that his partner isn’t eating. Scott tells him there’s a melon field nearby. Grian obtains another horn but doesn’t like the sound of it, so he gifts it to Scott. He obtains another bad horn and gives it to TangoTek, who’s stopping by together with Bigbst4tz2.

Scott and Grian test whether they are bonded to either Tango or BigB, but none of them are bonded to each other. Grian’s health drops seven hearts and he screams for food; Scott, Tango, and BigB all give him some. Scott thinks Grian might be bonded to either Solidarity or GoodTimesWithScar. The group then splits up.

Grian runs into BdoubleO100 and ImpulseSV and asks them whether either of them took a lot of damage, but they reveal that they are bonded to each other. He tells them he thinks he’s either bonded to Jimmy or Scar.

Grian leaves Bdubs and Impulse and makes plans on going to the ancient city. He kills salmon in the water ravine close to the pillager outpost where he meets Joel, EthosLab, and Scar. Joel hits Scar and Grian initially thinks they aren’t soulmates. Joel and Etho reveal that they are soulbound. Grian hits Scar, confused as to whether he’s taking damage himself or not. Scar follows his allay up the river and Joel chases and hits him, revealing to Grian that they are in fact bonded. Grian lets out a scream of anguish once he finds out.

Joel and Etho make their way back to Grian and Grian asks Joel to keep his bond to Scar a secret for now, since Scar hasn’t figured it out yet. Joel reveals that he hit Scar with his axe earlier to annoy Scar’s soulmate, which was the cause of Grian losing so much health. Scar returns to the group, stating that he lost his allay.

Grian asks Scar whether he found his soulmate yet and Scar pretends that the allay that left him was his soulmate. The group notices Tango and Jimmy dying and rejoice that they themselves weren’t the first to die. Scar leaves to chase after his allay, and Grian offers to swap soulmates with Etho or Joel, considering changing the rules of the series to make such a thing possible with a special ritual.

Scar returns with his allay and gets into Grian’s boat. Grian gives Scar some cooked salmon and shows off his horn to the others. The group fights off an Enderman that glitches in the water of the river. The four decide to team up together and Etho proposes they make a base in the air above the pillager outpost so the pillagers will function as guards.

Grian thinks that there are many dangers to building in the air, and Joel and Etho deliberately let Scar do a water clutch so he can show how good he is at those. The group runs into Jimmy, and they laugh at how Jimmy found out who his soulmate was by dying. Grian and Scar also meet Cleo and Scott, who think they are paired with InTheLittleWoods and PearlescentMoon. Scar punches Scott and is attacked by Scott’s dog, but Scott makes the dog sit in time.

Grian and Scar visit Impulse and Bdubs’ base and Grian follows Scar to the mountain where Grian obtained goat horns earlier. Grian explains how one gets a goat horn and he and Scar notice that Joel and Etho died, which Scar is fine with since the two had mocked him earlier. Grian obtains two more bad goat horns and gives one of them to Scar.

Grian obtains two more horns, including one good one, before he and Scar leave the mountain. They gather dark oak wood and Scar still thinks that they should build a base above the pillager outpost. Grian thinks that Etho lied about the pillagers not spawning above the outpost, but Scar doesn’t think so. They meet with Joel and Etho again who tell them how they died.

The group finds pandas and Scar tells the others he’s using a texture pack that makes the pandas look like his cat. Joel and Etho are incredulous that Scar hasn’t found out yet that Grian is his soulmate. The four make their way to the pillager outpost and Grian gives horns to both Joel and Etho. Grian hits Joel off the bridge leading there and Etho hits Grian off in turn before jumping down himself.

Grian, Joel, and Etho reach the pillager outpost and find that Scar started building above it already. The three go up to the dark oak plank platform and Grian extends it while Etho assures the others it’s totally safe and how they now have mobs below them protecting them against attacks and even a moat. Grian coins the ship name ‘Smalletho’ for Joel and Etho, though they call themselves Boat Gang.

Joel and Etho build a dirt bridge leading from the platform towards the world border, planning on making a way up and down beyond the field of pillagers. They place a water bucket, but the pillagers use the resulting waterfall to swim upwards, so they quickly remove the water. A pillager spawns on the platform and Scar finally acknowledges that the whole thing is a bad idea.

The group notices pillagers congregating below them and Joel places water, allowing the pillagers to come up, before removing the water. They all use boats to get down from the platform and hurriedly run away as they’re being chased by pillagers. They walk past Cleo, and she joins them in running across the bridge to Scott’s place, where she blocks herself in with wood. The others keep running with the villagers behind them.

They lead the pillagers all the way to Bdubs’ base, who is enraged about this. Grian tunnels out of the base into Bdubs and Impulse’s cow farm. He escapes the cow farm while getting shot, but the group eventually manages to kill all the pillagers. They explain to Bdubs what happened and Bdubs reveals that Ren was planning on making a water elevator to lead all the pillagers up to the platform; they tell him they already did that to themselves.

Grian gives Bdubs a horn, though Bdubs reveals that Impulse is planning on killing anyone with a horn. Scar tells Bdubs to prank Impulse by blowing the horn behind his back. Grian plans on building a new base and invites Scar along, though Scar tells him he’s going to live with the Jellies and leaves. Grian is conflicted on whether he should follow Scar, and the others think he shouldn’t since Scar would get suspicious.

Grian, Joel, and Etho tells Bdubs what the situation is and Bdubs finds it hilarious. They theorize whether Scar wants a soulmate or not since he seems to be sad to be alone, but also isn’t actively looking for his partner. Grian doesn’t want to tell him himself as that would ruin the fun.

Grian goes off by himself, collects birch wood, and picks a spot for his base close to the pillager outpost. He makes a wheat farm, spawns a chicken in a hole, and puts two sheep in a hole to start a sheep farm. He notices Joel making a farm on the other side of the ravine and copies his farm design by placing birch planks along the edge of his farm.

Scar jumpscares Grian at his farm and shows off his new skin, telling him he found his soulmate Jellie. He tells Grian he’s living with the Jellies and is currently looking for whoever harvested all the bamboo. Scar then leaves before Grian can tell him they’re soulmates.

Grian goes caving but comes up to the surface when he notices Jimmy at his base. He suspects Jimmy was stealing his stuff, but Jimmy tells him he wasn’t. Jimmy asks Grian for a goat horn, but Grian tells him he gave all his horns away save for his own. Grian tells Jimmy there is a club for people with horns and Jimmy desperately wants to be part of the club.

Jimmy asks Grian how he can get a horn, but Grian tells him most goats have lost their horns already, so there might be no way to get another horn. Grian demonstrates how each time he blows his horn, everyone else with a horn responds. Jimmy swears he’ll get a horn to join the club and leaves.

Grian starts making a wall from birch planks and stripped birch logs with dripstone spikes on top. He goes to Scar who’s breeding pandas in the bamboo forest. He places a dripstone under a tree, telling Scar that there’s a trick he wants to show him. He instructs Scar to stand under the dripstone while looking at Grian, but Scar looks away just as Grian breaks the dripstone above him.

Grian places the dripstone above Scar again and breaks it, causing them both to take damage. Scar finally realizes that Grian is his soulmate. Grian tells Scar about the base he’s been making and Scar questions whether he must live with Grian. Grian takes Scar with him using a fishing rod despite Scar saying he can’t leave his Jellies. Grian’s fishing rod breaks and Scar follows of his own volition, though implores Grian that they take the Jellies to the base at one point.

Scar asks when Grian found out they were soulmates and Grian tells him it was when they met in the canyon with Etho and Joel. Scar questions why Grian screamed ‘no’ and Grian tells him it was because he fell. They reach the base and Grian extends the wall before they harvest wheat together. They blow their horns one last time and the episode ends.
