DOUBLE TROUBLE! is ImpulseSV's first episode of Double Life. It was uploaded on June 17, 2022. In this episode, Impulse finds out that BdoubleO100 is his soulmate, and they start building a base together. Impulse gifts Bdubs a clock and they trade for potion supplies and a brown mushroom with InTheLittleWoods and PearlescentMoon, planning on making suspicious stew for regeneration.

Plot
The episode starts with Grian’s introductory video, after which we see Impulse gather wood, stone, and iron and make tools. He crafts a lot of shields and comes across EthosLab, GoodTimesWithScar, and BdoubleO100. He gives each of them a shield and they ask him to help them fight a bunch of underground mobs. Etho gives Impulse a stone sword and Scar pushes him into the underground cave.

Impulse fights off creepers and skeletons while the others enter the cave behind him and he crafts torches to spread around the cave. Bdubs and Scar leave while Impulse and Etho kill an Enderman and continue to mine in the cave before deciding to go to the surface and kill animals for food.

Impulse and Etho notice Scar, Bdubs, and InTheLittleWoods going to the pillager outpost and decide to follow them. They fight off the pillagers together and Scar obtains an allay. Impulse and Bdubs cook food and share it with Scar while fighting off more pillagers. They leave the vicinity of the pillager outpost and mine exposed ores next to a river.

Bdubs is shot by a skeleton and Impulse takes damage; Impulse then lets himself by the same skeleton so they can confirm that they are indeed soulmates. Etho and Martyn come sailing towards them in a boat and Bdubs tells the two that he and Impulse are in love. Martyn hits Impulse to check whether they are speaking the truth and Etho questions whether they have a happy marriage; they assure him that they are extremely happy.

Impulse and Bdubs go caving together and Bdubs confides in Impulse that he’s worried about killing him and that he doesn’t have any food. They notice the name tags of Solidarity, Etho, Scar, Martyn, and Smallishbeans in a cave below them but decide not to go to them; instead, they go to the surface to gather food. They meet Rendog and tell him they are soulbound. Ren congratulates them and asks them when the wedding is; they respond that they already had the wedding, and that Ren probably didn’t get the invitation.

Impulse and Bdubs leave Ren and break grass for wheat seeds. They find two cows and put them in a boat together. Impulse smelts iron while Bdubs starts a wheat farm. Grian comes across them and shows them the horn he obtained. He asks them whether either of them took a lot of damage and they tell him they are soulmates. Grian thinks he might be partnered to either Jimmy 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. Impulse finds water near the border of the map and returns to Bdubs who is talking to TangoTek. He puts the water next to the wheat farm and the three of them fight off a skeleton; Tango gives Bdubs the bone that the skeleton dropped as he needs it for the farm.

Tango leaves the two and Impulse spreads torches around their base. They discuss what style they want their base to be (they decide on mid-century modern) and Impulse digs into the hillside while Bdubs starts building with spruce planks. Impulse moves the furnace and crafting table inside the base and 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 while Impulse continues working on the base. Bigbst4tz2 comes across Impulse and tells him he already knows that he’s soulmates with Bdubs since Bdubs told him. BigB leaves to go looking for his soulmate and food, though Impulse tells him he’s free to stop by for food at a later date.

Bdubs returns to the base and he and Impulse place their beds together before laying down together for a moment. Bdubs cooks chicken, beef, and mutton and hands two eggs to Impulse; however, 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 lie in their beds; Smajor1995 and ZombieCleo show up as well, and Impulse tells them he and Bdubs are soulmates. Scott and Cleo believe that they are paired with PearlescentMoon and Martyn and ask Impulse and Bdubs whether they have seen those two; they respond negative. Scott tells the two that Joel is stealing their crops and they head outside.

Scott and Cleo leave together while Joel, Impulse, and Etho meet up with Jimmy, who tells them about how he died and lost all his items when Tango blew up. Joel gives Jimmy mangrove roots and Bdubs gives him directions towards spawn. 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. Impulse crafts a chest to put the items in while Jimmy decides to keep one of their spyglasses. Jimmy leaves to go check on Tango while Joel and Etho return to retrieve their items. Impulse asks to keep one of their amethyst shards and they agree. Joel and Etho 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.

Bdubs and Impulse return to their base while Joel and Etho leave in boats. 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 by himself and explores a mineshaft. He notices the deep dark but decides not to go there. He returns to the base and admires Bdubs’ progress on it.

Impulse smelts gold and shows Bdubs the golden apple he found in the mineshaft, which they aren’t allowed to eat. Bdubs plans on framing the apple and putting it on the wall, calling it ‘the forbidden fruit’. Impulse crafts a clock and hands it to Bdubs, making their bond official. Bdubs hands Impulse four gold ore that he stole from someone else’s chest.

Impulse asks Bdubs if he’s seen any brown mushrooms and explains his plan to make suspicious stew for regeneration. Martyn and Pearl show up at their base with items from the Nether to trade. Bdubs asks for one blaze rod, one nether wart, and one soul sand while Impulse asks for a brown mushroom. They offer Martyn and Pearl copper, but they ask for diamonds. They then offer their golden apple, but Pearl already has one of those. Bdubs offers them two cattle for food, but they reveal that they already have porkchops from killing hoglins.

Pearl and Martyn start leaving but Pearl turns back and asks them for a horn. Bdubs gives Pearl a horn and Impulse quickly puts his sword away. Martyn hands Impulse a brown mushroom and asks whether, in exchange for a blaze rod, he can have access to Impulse and Bdubs’ cow farm, promising to repopulate it whenever he uses it. Bdubs initially accepts the deal, but Impulse demands for two blaze rods while Bdubs thinks they should get one soul sand and one Nether wart as well. Martyn declines and he and Pearl leave.

Martyn eventually returns to the base and gives Bdubs one blaze rod, one nether wart, and one soul sand in exchange for unlimited access to the cow farm. Martyn leaves and Impulse and Bdubs plan to make a secret room at the back of their base. The explore the cave system behind their base before putting two baby cows in a secret chamber at the back of the cave.

Bdubs makes a cobblestone cover outside the base and Impulse plants the brown mushroom under it. He bonemeals the mushroom but it doesn’t grow. Bdubs makes a composter inside the base so they can get more bonemeal. They try to grow the mushroom again, but it doesn’t work. Bdubs breaks leaves from a spruce tree he grew next to the base and obtains a sapling. He makes more bonemeal with the leaves while Impulse chops the spruce tree. Bdubs manage to grow the mushroom and Impulse collects the brown mushroom blocks and removes the white stem.

Impulse puts two brown mushrooms in a chest in the base and gathers oxeye daisies, planning on making suspicious stew on the next session. He then ends the episode.
