Plot
The episode starts as everyone goes their separate ways from the spawn area. Bdubs hangs out with GoodTimesWithScar and EthosLab and they gather materials together. They go mining but quickly leave their mine as mobs attack them. ImpulseSV shows up and gives each of them shields. Bdubs steals some iron from Etho’s furnace.

Bdubs, Scar, and Etho ask Impulse to go into their mine for them and kill the mobs. Etho gives Impulse a sword and Scar hits Impulse into the hole; Bdubs takes damage at the same time but doesn’t figure out what this means yet. The three follow Impulse into the mine and adjoining cave after he kills all mobs.

Bdubs and Scar go off together, looking for a mountain with exposed ores. They see InTheLittleWoods fighting at the pillager outpost and Bdubs thinks that Martyn and Scar might be soulmates because Scar took damage at the same time as Martyn got an arrow in his foot. They witness Martyn being chased by pillagers and meet him at a water ravine. Martyn tells them he freed three allays from a cage and they head to the outpost to prevent the allays from despawning by giving them items.

Impulse shows up at the outpost while Bdubs obtained an enchanted crossbow from the pillagers. The three leave the outpost and Bdubs does a Zelda fairy impression for Scar’s allay. They go mining on the side of the water ravine and Bdubs is shot by a skeleton; Impulse takes damage at the same time, leading them to find out they’re soulmates. Etho and Martyn come sailing towards them in a boat and Bdubs tells the two that he and Impulse are in love. Etho questions whether they have a happy marriage, and they assure him that they are extremely happy.

Impulse and Bdubs meet Rendog after separating from the others and tell him they are soulbound. They leave Ren and gather mangrove roots and propagules. They find two cows and put them in a boat together. Bdubs starts a wheat farm while Grian comes across them and shows them the horn he obtained. Grian thinks he might be partnered to either Solidarity or Scar and leaves to go look for his soulmate.

Impulse crafts a bucket and he and Bdubs harvest watermelons, planning on keeping some of them for a farm. Impulse goes looking for water while Bdubs stays behind to tend to the crops. He goes mining next to their farm and meets TangoTek before Impulse returns with water.

Tango leaves the two and Impulse and Bdubs discuss what style they want their base to be (they decide on mid-century modern). Impulse digs into the hillside while Bdubs starts building the front wall with spruce planks. Impulse realizes he’ll need another bucket of water to make an infinite water source and to keep Bdubs safe, who is building high up.

Impulse hands Bdubs his water bucket and makes an iron chestplate for him, which Bdubs thinks shows that Impulse doesn’t trust him to stay safe. Bdubs leaves to get water and runs into Bigbst4tz2, whom he gives one watermelon slice and who makes fun of Bdubs’ teeth.

Bdubs returns to the base and cooks chicken, beef, and mutton. He hands two eggs to Impulse, but neither of the eggs spawns chickens. Bdubs places jungle wood to start a cocoa bean farm and makes an infinite water source before handing the bucket back to Impulse.

Scar and Grian visit Bdubs and Impulse’s base and Smallishbeans, Etho, and Jimmy also visit sometime later. Joel reveals that he and Etho are bonded, and they capture an Enderman in a boat, only for Joel to accidentally break the boat and get killed by the Enderman, which also kills Etho.

Bdubs kills the Enderman, and he and Impulse collect Joel and Etho’s items in a chest. Joel and Etho return to retrieve their items. They think that Impulse and Bdubs still have some of their stuff, but they tell them that a creeper blew up after they died, which might have caused some of their items to disappear. Bdubs gives Etho his iron leggings back and Etho gives Bdubs his and Impulse’s beds back.

PearlescentMoon and Martyn show up and all are envious of Martyn, who obtained a saddle in a dungeon and is now riding a donkey. After the others leave, Bdubs and Impulse plan on getting iron so Impulse will have armor, and Bdubs asks Impulse for a clock to seal the deal. Impulse goes caving while Bdubs goes around getting items from people.

Bdubs meets Pearl, who tells him she has 51 iron. He gives her steak, watermelon, and mangrove propagules and she initially gives him only one piece of iron; he threatens to kill her frog and she gives him ten more. Bdubs nearly dies to a creeper while chopping a tree but manages to heal in time. He sneaks up on a terraforming Tango while making creeper noises.

Bdubs meets Smajor1995, ZombieCleo, Ren and BigB while being chased by a baby zombie. He steals some raw iron from Scott’s chest. The group notices people building above the pillager outpost and suggests someone make a water elevator to funnel to pillagers up to the base as a surprise. He later meets Jimmy who asks him for a bucket of water, which he gives to him in return for an IOU.

Bdubs returns to his base and Scott meets him there with a cow. He asks Bdubs if he can breed the cows in his farm to have a second cow to take home. Bdubs agrees in return for an IOU. Sometime later, Scar, Grian, Etho, and Joel show up with a group of pillagers in tow. Some of the pillagers get inside the base and though Bdubs initially runs away, he manages to kill the last of them.

Grian gives Bdubs shears and Scar brings Bdubs’ snowman to life after shearing its pumpkin head, almost accidentally setting it free. Bdubs manages to block it in and explains to the others that Impulse asked for a mid-century modern home. He accepts a horn from Grian though states that Impulse hates horns and plans on killing anyone with a horn.

Impulse returns to the base and admires Bdubs’ progress on it. He crafts a clock and hands it to Bdubs, making their bond official. Bdubs hands Impulse the four gold ore that he stole from Scott’s chest. Bdubs sneakily blows his horn behind Impulse’s back. He and Impulse end the session stating that they feel that they’re going to have green names for a long time.
