Plot
The episode starts with Pearl declaring she’s heartbroken, but happy that she has her dog Tilly by her side. She picks a spot to make a base and states that she doesn’t know who needs to apologize for last session: her or Smajor1995. She states that she felt she was being careful last session with not taking damage, even apologizing whenever she did take damage, so she vows not to be as careful this session.

Pearl finds a panda and reveals that she has GoodTimesWithScar’s texture pack activated with makes the pandas look like his cat Jellie. She picks a new spot for her base since the other one was too secluded and starts making a dirt hobbit hole but removes the dirt after changing her mind. She builds upwards and starts making a platform high in the sky.

Pearl spots Scar beneath her and lets water down so he can come up to the platform. Scar compliments her platform and Pearl explains that she isn’t tied down by anybody and everyone’s abandoned her. Scar tells Pearl that Grian banished his pandas and is probably ten minutes away from banishing Scar too. Pearl proposes to Scar that he takes the pandas to her place.

Scar shows Pearl that he got a saddle, and she tells him she saw donkeys near the pillager outpost, so Scar leaves to go look there. Pearl goes down the water elevator, planning on adding a ladder to the tower, when Tilly falls off the platform and dies. Pearl is upset since Tilly was the only thing that mattered to her and realizes she should have set the dog down until she was finished building. She builds a ladder up to her platform and vows to find a new dog to resurrect Tilly.

Pearl gathers wood and notices everyone else getting pets. She sets out from her tower to look for a dog and comes across Scar, who’s chopping trees. She accidentally scares him, and they discuss how scary her red skin is; Pearl tells Scar no one has to fear her but Scott. Scar tells Pearl about Scott and ZombieCleo’s bridge and suggests she trap it, so Scott falls to his death. Pearl explains that she just wants to hurt Scott, not kill him, since that would kill her too.

Scar suggests building a torture room filled with things like a cactus, lava, and water that she can use to almost kill herself, but then stop and save herself. Pearl notes that there aren’t any cacti or berry bushes on the map, but Scar has another idea and asks Pearl for a bucket. Pearl offers Scar her water bucket but tells him that she has plenty of iron, which she’ll give to him for free if he helps her mess with Scott. Pearl goes up to her platform, crafts a bucket, and gives the bucket to Scar, who tells her to wait for him.

Pearl is visited by Rendog and Bigbst4tz2 and Ren tells her they’re the ‘horse bros’. They tell her that Ren’s horse is named Bee and BigB’s horse is named Squirrel. Pearl tells them about her dog’s death but claims she’s doing fine otherwise. She asks them if they’ve seen a dog and BigB tells her he saw one near the Box; Pearl would like to tame it to reincarnate her dog.

Scar returns and tells Ren and BigB that he and Pearl plan to torture their soulmates. Ren and BigB leave, weirded out by the situation, though Pearl yells after them that she’ll be visiting their base for the dog. Scar places powder snow from the bucket, and both he and Pearl stand in the snow to torture their soulmates; Pearl eventually steps out of the snow when she notices Scott taking damage as well. Scar then leaves to continue doing chores for Grian.

Pearl crafts several buckets and fills one with powder snow before heading to Ren and BigB’s Box base. She meets Solidarity on the way, and he asks her for help in obtaining a horn for him and TangoTek since she has a horn herself. Pearl asks Jimmy if he knows the location of a dog, but Jimmy tells her he doesn’t. She then agrees to help him in exchange for food. He takes her to the Ranch and Tango gives her steak.

Pearl advises Jimmy and Tango to change the back wall of their cobblestone goat pen to either stone or dirt, since the block must be naturally occurring in the goat’s biome. Tango makes the back wall out of dirt, but it doesn’t work. They change the back wall of the pen to stone, and Pearl obtains the ‘Sing’ horn and gives it to Jimmy. She feels Scott taking damage and Jimmy notices in the distance that Scott is standing in powdered snow, so Pearl does the same thing to Scott once he steps out of the snow.

Jimmy obtains another ‘Sing’ horn and gives it to Tango. The two thank Pearl, and Pearl leaves the Ranch. She stands in powder snow again to ‘tickle’ Scott while looking at Scott and Cleo in the distance. Scott comes over in her direction, and they ask each other if they enjoyed the ice baths. Scott enquires about Pearl’s red skin, and she tells him she’s wearing it because her heart is broken; Scott’s glad that she now knows how it feels.

Pearl tells Scott that her dog Tilly died, and Scott offers her his condolences for that. He asks her whether Jimmy has a horn, and she reveals that she got both Jimmy and Tango a new horn by teaching them how to get one. Scott is upset since it was the server goal to not let Jimmy get a horn and he tells Pearl his plan to spread the word that Jimmy’s horn sounds different, so no one will respond to it.

Pearl admits that she helped Jimmy for food, and she and Scott accuse each other of taking damage. Scott tells her that he let Cleo deliberately axe crit him to annoy Pearl. Pearl places her powder snow down and both get in before getting out when Scott notices they’re taking double damage. They both claim to have been eating a lot for the other during the first episode and continue arguing about the events of the first session. They notice InTheLittleWoods staring at them from his heart-shaped house and call him a weirdo.

Pearl tells Scott that she made a tower far away from everyone, so she doesn’t have to deal with creepy neighbors. Scott tells her he’s attached to his and Cleo’s bridge, though he accidentally calls Cleo Pearl the first time. Pearl states that this means that his base belongs to her as well and she runs to Scott’s house with Scott chasing behind her. She decides to forcefully move in and enters the house with Scott and Cleo behind her.

Scott and Pearl argue with each other, and Cleo makes a wood plank wall in front of Pearl. Scott questions why Pearl wants to be soulbound; she answers that she never wanted that, but that it’s fun to bother him. Pearl leaves the house and continues her search for a dog. She receives a message from Ren saying that he found something of hers, but she mistakenly thinks that Scott sent the message and goes to Scott, who is at Cleo’s house. Scott points out to her that Ren send that message, not him. He gives her directions to Ren’s Box after she runs in the wrong direction.

Pearl meets Ren and BigB at their Box, and Ren tells her she’s welcome there. Ren recalls how she’d been doing weird things in the forest when they last met, and Pearl places powder snow to show how she’s been ‘tickling’ Scott. Ren shows Pearl a dog that he hid outside Box but tells her not to tame it yet. He offers to make a deal for the dog stating that if they come across each other on the battlefield later in the series, they shall both turn away from the other and not fight. Pearl questions what would happen if Ren met Scott on the battlefield, and Ren tells her he doesn’t care about Scott, only her. Pearl tells Ren she’d do anything for her dog Tilly, even kill Scott, and agrees to Ren’s deal.

Pearl tames the new Tilly and takes her with her. She collects mangrove wood and mud and decides to calm down for the day. She notices that a party has gone down to the enchanting table in the ancient city. She briefly visits BdoubleO100 at his home and they comment on each other’s skins. She reaches the location of her tower and sits Tilly down at the bottom of the ladder before going up and building her base.

Cleo comes up the ladder to visit, but is reluctant to enter the build because she’s afraid of Pearl; Pearl tells her she’s fine now that she has Tilly back, so Cleo comes in. Cleo compliments the build and Pearl shows her that Bdubs and ImpulseSV live close by. Pearl proclaims that she’s all alone, and Cleo tells her she could find another group to join and make her own soul binds. Pearl then states that Tilly is her soulmate, and Cleo leaves, promising to come by another time. Pearl thanks Cleo for the company.

Pearl continues to build her tower in the sky before deciding to stop for the day and go out to meet other people together with Tilly. She looks at her base from a distance and refills her snow bucket. She meets SmallishBeans and EthosLab while sneaking around Scott’s house, and they ask if she has sugarcane, but she tells them she doesn’t. They tell her they heard from Scott that she’s been intimidating to him, and she shows them that she’s been freezing herself in powder snow to ‘tickle’ Scott.

Pearl goes to Box and sneaks inside to the highest floor while Ren and BigB are trading horses with Bdubs. BigB notices her and comes up to her; he hits Tilly, and the dog starts attacking him, so Pearl quickly sits her down. Ren comes up as well and tells Pearl he’s terrified of her. Pearl claims she just wants company and Ren tells her she’s not welcome if she keeps torturing people in their base. BigB states that her dog attacked him, and she says it’s because he hit the dog, which he admits is true. Pearl leaves the base with a dejected tone despite Ren trying to stop her, and she takes one of the horses.

Pearl looks back to the base and notices Ren going outside and accidentally looking a Enderman in the eyes that was next to her; she then sees that Ren and BigB have died. Pearl realizes she is to blame for their deaths and notices Cleo and Scott stealing BigB’s items. Pearl picks up some of the items, proclaiming that she’s going to give them back to Ren and BigB, unlike Cleo and Scott. Pearl tells Scott she’s disappointed in him.

Pearl goes inside Box to pick up Ren’s items and she puts them in a chest. Ren and BigB return to Box after respawning, and she tells them she saved their items. Ren calls her a demoness and states that she came to their base with evil in her heart. Pearl explains that she saved their items from Scott and Cleo, who might have stolen some stuff, which BigB confirms. Ren tells Pearl that she caused this whether she meant to or not and that there’s something wicked in her heart. He and BigB tell her she’s banished from Box, and she leaves with an upset voice, which is where the episode ends.
