Plot
The episode starts with Grian’s introductory video, after which Scott and the others each go their separate ways from spawn. Scott starts gathering materials and crafting tools while explaining the rules of the season. He harvests watermelons and kills cows for food and mines and smelts iron for a shield. He finds a skeleton spawner dungeon with a frog, but there are no chests inside the dungeon.

Rendog comes across Scott and Scott shows him the spawner. Scott hits Ren to check whether they are linked, but they find that they aren’t. Ren tells Scott he claimed his own cave and kills Scott’s frog. Grian arrives and they find that he isn’t bound to Scott either.

Scott goes mining and encounters a lot of creepers. He mines on the surface and meets with Grian again, who is upset at his own partner for not eating. Scott hits Grian so Grian’s partner will feel it. Grian then shows off his goat horn. Scott stays with Grian through the night while smelting iron and gets a goat horn from Grian that Grian doesn’t want himself. He and Grian attempt to gain more goat horns, but Scott gives up after a while.

Bigbst4tz2 and TangoTek show up at the mountain and Grian gives Tango a bad goat horn. The four test out whether they are soulmates but find that none of them are bonded to each other. Grian starts screaming for food and Scott, Tango, and BigB give him some; Grian explains that he almost died in one hit and Scott theorizes that Grian must be bound to either Solidarity or GoodTimesWithScar.

Scott leaves the mountain and gathers dark oak saplings. He finds pandas and plans to come back for them. He gathers more watermelons and tames a cyan parrot before accidentally killing it with his axe. He tames a dog and considers living at the pillager outpost before realizing it’s still flooded with pillagers.

Scott goes underground and mines dripstone, gathers string from cobwebs for a bow, and discovers a geode. He smelts iron, mines various ores, and gathers sculk blocks for XP. He goes further into the deep dark and removes sculk sensors before deciding to leave and go up to the surface.

Scott finds Ren and ZombieCleo in a cave and jumpscares them; they tell him about a zombie farm they made. Scott tells Cleo and Ren that Jimmy and Tango are bonded, while Cleo and Ren inform him that ImpulseSV and BdoubleO100 are soulmates. Cleo hits Scott to check whether they are soulmates and finds out they aren’t, though Scott’s dog starts attacking her afterwards.

Scott notices BigB above them at the entrance of the cave and places water down so BigB can jump down. SmallishBeans and EthosLab jump down as well and reveal that they are bonded. Joel tells Scott that Grian and Scar are together, but that Scar doesn’t know it yet. Scott concludes that his soulmate must be either InTheLittleWoods or PearlescentMoon. BigB and Ren in the meanwhile realize they are bonded to each other.

Scott and Cleo leave the cave together to go look for Martyn and Pearl. They meet with Grian and Scar and Scar hits Scott, accidentally angering Scott’s dog. They also visit Impulse and Bdubs’ base who proudly proclaim they’re soulmates. Cleo suggests that she and Scott should pair up against Martyn and Pearl; Scott agrees, though he wants to find out first who is bonded to who before making the choice.

Scott and Cleo come across Tango who is freaking out in a hole in a hillside. Scott and Cleo come inside, and Scott makes the hole bigger together with Tango. They rejoice once they notice that Joel and Etho have lost a life, as Scott states that they had been stealing from everyone. They give Tango some armor and Cleo makes a door for his hole.

Scott and Cleo take Tango with them and bring him to Jimmy, who’s on the other side of the map. They joke about Tango and Jimmy’s names being yellow already and how Jimmy might be first to die again. Jimmy tells Tango he’s forgotten where their chest is before pretending they don’t have a chest; Scott feels a bit insulted that the two don’t trust him and Cleo, since they gave Tango food and armor, so they leave Tango and Jimmy behind.

Scott and Cleo decide that they don’t need their soulmates and to just become soulmates together. Scott tells Cleo about his explorations and that he found pandas, which Cleo doesn’t like. Scott decides not to force Cleo to live with a panda.

Scott and Cleo decide to build two houses on either side of a ravine and a bridge between them. They make a temporary cobblestone bridge and notice a village just outside the map border. Scott crafts chests for storage and terraforms the area where he wants to build his house. They notice people falling from a bridge in the distance and other people building a base above the pillager outpost, which Scott thinks must be Scar.

Scott and Cleo are visited by Bdubs, Ren, and BigB. BigB and Ren tell them that they live on top of the nearby goat mountain and that they’re welcome to visit anytime. Scott and Cleo explain how they’ve decided to be soulmates together and are building houses on opposite sides off the ravine. Ren is nearly killed by an Enderman, and he and the others leave Scott and Cleo.

Scott comes up with the idea of at one point making redstone lamps on either side of the ravine so he and Cleo can communicate with each other. Jimmy comes to Scott asking for items while Scott and Cleo realize that their soulmates have gone to the Nether. Cleo tells Jimmy off since she and Scott are poor too. Scott gives Jimmy an emerald while Cleo gives a stone pickaxe and a dandelion as they remind him that they gave lots of items to his soulmate Tango. Scott tells Jimmy to frame the emerald as the ‘emerish of peace’ and Jimmy leaves.

BigB passes by Scott’s base. Scott gives Cleo food once her soulmate starts burning and they realize that Pearl and Martyn have entered a fortress. The two are increasingly more angry with their soulmates. Scott goes looking for animals and finds a cow. He goes to Impulse and Bdubs’ base and asks Bdubs whether he can breed their cows so he can take one with him; Bdubs agrees in exchange for an IOU.

Bdubs accidentally releases a bunch of cows from his farm and Scott helps to push most of them back in the hole before leaving with three cows. He makes his own cow farm at his base by putting the cows in a hole. He builds his house from cobblestone, oak planks, and oak logs and gathers sand for glass windows while noticing Cleo build her own house on the other side of the ravine. He kills skeletons for bones and adds dirt handrails to the bridge.

Jimmy visits Scott and Cleo asking whether they are soulmates; they tell him they aren’t. Jimmy thinks that they shouldn’t pretend to be soulmates when they aren’t, calling them fake soulmates. Scott threatens to break the bridge under Jimmy’s feet and Jimmy backs off. Jimmy tells Scott and Cleo he’s looking to obtain a goat horn, but Scott believes that all goats have been dehorned already. Scott explains to Jimmy how their soulmates, Martyn and Pearl, have gone to the Nether. Jimmy thinks the situation is hilarious.

Cleo and Scott notice BigB and Ren stealing Scott’s cows. They quickly go from the bridge to Scott’s house and BigB and Ren pretend that the cows escaped on their own. Scott leads the cows back in their hole and covers them with dirt while Tango shows up. BigB, Ren, and Tango then leave, leaving an allay behind.

Scar shows up at Scott’s place and takes some of the bamboo that Scott planted next to the borderline, claiming that Scott stole it from the Jellie pandas. He shows Scott and Cleo his new skin, claiming that the Jellie on his head is his soulmate. He presents himself as an ambassador for the pandas. Scott proposes they kill Scar as a message and Scar runs away, but not before stealing Scott’s boat.

Scott and Cleo notice a message by Martyn asking anyone who doesn’t know who their soulmate is to come to spawn for a quiz. They decide to go since Martyn doesn’t know what Scott and Cleo know already, planning on telling their soulmates off. They walk to the spawn area where they meet Martyn and Pearl. Martyn expects there to be one more person, but Scott doesn’t think there is. He asks Martyn whether he and Pearl are bound, and they say they aren’t.

Martyn takes Scott, Cleo, and Pearl to a row of netherrack boxes he made for the gameshow and puts each of them in their own box. Scott and Cleo laugh a little about the whole situation but tell Martyn to keep going. Martyn gets suspicious and thinks that they might be soulbound to each other, but they tell him they aren’t.

Jimmy tries to explain the rules of the gameshow but has to stop as the others keep laughing. He demands to know what going on, and Scott first builds up and jumps to show he and Pearl are bonded, before hitting Cleo to show she’s bonded to Martyn.

Scott explains that he and Cleo found out ages ago that Pearl and Martyn were their soulmates, as they had met everyone else on the server. He and Cleo declare that they are soulbound to each other, blaming Pearl and Martyn for not being there when he and Cleo looked for them and made themselves vulnerable. They are also upset about having to save Pearl and Martyn from burning multiple times, though Martyn counters this by saying they had porkchops.

Pearl tries to defend herself by stating she was just following Martyn and Martyn claims he was just trying to provide for his soulbound. Scott calls the two of them cheaters and Scott and Cleo go home. Scott ends the episode inside his house.

Description
Welcome to a brand new Minecraft series on my channel, Double Life! The goal of the series is fairly simple, don't die! Or at least be the last ones to do so! Each player starts the series with 3 hearts! This time however, you will be randomly linked with one other player as your Soulmate, so when they take damage you take damage! And if they lose a life, so do you! We also are using a proximity voice chat mod, so it leads to a lot of random and funny interactions with people on the server!
