In this episode, Grian continues building his cake-shaped spiked base while making plans to woo Bigbst4tz2 and convince him to leave his soulmate Rendog, as he wants BigB to be his own soulmate. He leads an expedition to the ancient city after making a staircase leading down there. At the end of the episode, Grian leaves a gift for BigB at Box base.

Plot
The episode starts with Grian at his base. He shows off the materials he gathered including sugarcane, which he had put in a secret underground barrel. He plans to secretly farm it for TNT and makes an underground small farm for it, though he doesn’t reveal the location of the farm.

GoodTimesWithScar tries to lead a group of pandas inside the fort, but Grian tells him that pandas aren’t allowed inside. He suggests that Scar focus on helping build the base and Scar puts the pandas in a hole outside. SmallishBeans shows up and shows of his new skin with EthosLab’s face on his chest. Grian quickly covers the sugarcane farm since Scar accidentally dug into it when making the hole.

Grian explains his plan to add several layers to the base with different wood types. He collects mangrove wood and notices Scar taking constant damage. He meets with Smajor1995 and Solidarity, and Scott tells Grian they shouldn’t let Jimmy take goats to his base while Jimmy explains that he traded for them. Grian thinks it’s fine since he believes that Jimmy doesn’t know how to get a goat horn, but Jimmy counters that his partner does. Grian tells Jimmy the goats need to be in a mountain biome and he and Scott both leave. Grian admits that he doesn’t think the goats need to be in a mountain biome.

Grian walks past TangoTek at the Ranch and explains his plan for the session. He recalls that he had been heartbroken when he found out last session that he wasn’t paired with Bigbst4tz2, so he intends to reject his soul bond with Scar and woo BigB with gifts to win him over, so they can choose their own destiny.

Grian goes caving and messes with Jimmy and Tango, who’s Ranch is located directly above Grian’s cave; the two get scared whenever Grian sets off a creeper. He again receives constant damage from Scar and plans to put him in a safety box. He digs down to look for diamonds and reaches the deep dark. He finds the ancient city and explores a bit before making a staircase to the surface.

Grian is found by InTheLittleWoods when nearly having reached the surface and the two scare each other. Grian tells Martyn he found the ancient city and to gather some people so they can go on an expedition. Grian returns to his base and finds Scar building a home for the Jellies. Jimmy visits and shows off the horn he got. Grian thinks that the horns are a lot less fun now that Jimmy has one and that they should stop blowing them. Jimmy blows his horn, and no one responds to him.

Jimmy sits on Scar’s horse and Grian asks him whether he wants to join an expedition to the deep dark. Jimmy initially agrees before Grian reminds him that his name is yellow. Jimmy rides away with Scar’s horse while yelling that it belongs on the Ranch; Scar threatens to trample all the crops on the Ranch and Jimmy leaves the horse behind.

Grian later comes by the Ranch to prepare for the trip to the deep dark. Jimmy shows Grian Martyn’s base, which is floating in the air close to Scott’s and ZombieCleo’s bridge. Grian goes down the staircase to the deep dark together with Rendog, BigB, and Martyn, and they find that Etho and ImpulseSV are already there. The group starts enchanting while Etho and Impulse make a redstone contraption to activate the shriekers. They eventually spawn the warden and run to the staircase while throwing snowballs to distract him.

Grian hits the warden with a few snowballs, and it charges after them as they run up the staircase. Grian gets hit by a sonic blast but manages to survive. He goes to the surface while the others discuss going back down to the ancient city. Grian states that he feels he planted the seeds for BigB to leave Ren and returns to his base.

Grian tells Scar he’s banned from going to the deep dark since it’s not ‘Scar-safe’. Grian continues to build the next layer of the base and spots Jimmy trying to steal Scar’s horse from the Jellie panda hole; he tells Jimmy off and Jimmy asks Grian if he has sugarcane; Grian responds that he doesn’t. Joel and Etho come by asking for sugarcane as well and they believe that someone is keeping it secret.

Grian reacts to Ren and BigB’s death just as Tango and Jimmy are visiting. Grian notices Jimmy stealing Scar’s horse again and finishes building the base in a timelapse. He tells Scar the build is finished and that he doesn’t have to chop mangrove trees anymore. Scar tells him that Martyn had said the build looked like a cake and Grian recalls that Martyn had also told him that the build is very flammable.

Grian somewhat accuses Scar of already setting someone’s base on fire and Scar tells him Grian is the one with the flint-and-steel; Grian doesn’t know how the flint-and-steel got in his inventory. He almost sets the Jellie sanctuary on fire, but Scar puts out the fire in time. Grian crafts bread and walks towards Box, passing the Ranch burnt down by Scar. He plans to check where Scar logs out so he can trap him for next session.

Grian breaks into Box and sets up signs, a love heart made of red mangrove wood, and a chest filled with bread. The signs are instructions that the gift is for BigB only, that he should find himself a soulmate who doesn’t die to Endermen (like Ren did), and a hint that his secret admirer is Grian. Grian returns to his base, planning on adding windows to it next session, and accidentally drops into the panda hole, which is where the episode ends.
