Plot
BigB starts his episode in Box and shows off his new skin. He notices a message on the wall and checks upstairs to find a gift of bread from a secret admirer, which he correctly assumes to be Grian. He removes the signs, chest, and giant heart so Rendog won’t find it when he comes home. He goes mining under his base and comes close to Smajor1995’s house; Scott tells him to mine in the other direction.

Ren comes home to Box and BigB tells him that he has a surprise for him and that he should keep his eyes closed. Ren tells BigB that he collected salmon for food and gives BigB his enchanted iron boots back that ZombieCleo had stolen from him.

BigB shows Ren his new skin with sunglasses and dog ears, and Ren loves it. Ren shows off his own yellow skin, and BigB states that the skin reminds him of InTheLittleWoods. He asks Ren to tell him that he’s not leaving him, and Ren tells BigB they’ll be together until the end. BigB tells Ren he’s been trying to get his stuff back and isn’t sure whether Cleo and Scott were the real thieves.

Ren and BigB hear shouting outside and find BdoubleO100 at their staircase, who tells them he hates the black horse that Ren traded to him because it’s very slow. After Bdubs has left, Ren and BigB discuss their plans for the day and Ren recalls that he saw an iron vein in the deep dark above the enchanting table which he would like to mine. BigB also wants to go to the ancient city to enchant his pants.

BigB tells Ren he has a secret which he can’t hide from Ren any longer because it’s hurting his heart; he reveals he has a secret admirer that left a note for him in Box. Ren thinks it’s fine since it’s like window shopping; whoever the secret admirer is can look, but not touch. BigB reveals that the note said that BigB should get himself someone who doesn’t die to an Enderman. Ren thinks that’s rude and feels upset since they insulted his skills.

Ren appreciates BigB’s honesty on the matter, and BigB states he wanted to tell Ren in case he’ll be gone for some time, which will mean he’ll be on vacation with his secret admirer; he assures Ren that he’ll come back if that ever where to happen.

Ren and BigB go to where Scott is building a ranch nearby and are shocked to notice that Cleo and Martyn have died. Scott leaves to check on Cleo while Ren and BigB see Cleo retrieve her items on the cliffside next to her house. Ren and BigB wonder what happened and consider stealing Cleo’s stuff but decide not to. They meet Martyn and Solidarity at the Ranch and ask Martyn what happened, but Martyn quickly leaves to retrieve his own items.

Jimmy admires Ren and BigB’s glasses, stating that he’s jealous of them. Jimmy asks them for help in taking down the remains of the Ranch, but they inform him they’re heading to the deep dark. They invite Jimmy along but Jimmy declines; he values his life and expects Ren and BigB to be red before long. Jimmy directs them to where the staircase to the deep dark is, and they leave the Ranch. They admire the Relation Ship in the distance.

Ren and BigB go down the staircase into the ancient city and find ImpulseSV at the enchanting table. BigB gets to enchanting and Ren asks Impulse about the iron vein; Impulse reveals that there’s a little left, but that SmallishBeans and EthosLab took all the good stuff already.

Ren and Impulse notice that the sculk sensors around them keep picking up sound despite them not moving. They realize that they are activated by the sound of the voices, which wasn’t the case yet during last episode. Impulse experiments and finds that they don’t get activated when he’s crouching.

The three go up to where the iron vein was using a ladder made by Impulse, and Ren and BigB mine the remaining iron while Impulse leaves. Ren and BigB hear PearlescentMoon beneath them, and Ren tells Pearl to stay quiet, but Pearl tells him she’s crouched. She tells them she already set off a shrieker two times.

Ren offers Pearl iron ‘to appease the demoness’ and Pearl asks him and BigB if they’re looting chests as well; Ren tells her they’re not that brave. Pearl claims to have seen BigB in the ancient city before, but BigB denies this. BigB throws pieces of iron down at Pearl, but Pearl and Ren warn him that he might set off the shriekers that way. Ren warns BigB not to anger Pearl, reminding him of how she caused their deaths; Pearl counters that it was their own fault they died.

Martyn meets Ren and BigB on the platform and scares them with a reverb voice. Martyn reveals he’s there to retrieve a skeleton skull that he spotted at the other end of the city. Ren instructs BigB to go home with the iron, while Ren goes into the city with Martyn.

BigB goes to the surface using Impulse’s staircase and travels to Box, making plans on improving its face. He crafts cookies and plans to give them to his secret admirer while Ren is on his quest with Martyn; BigB confesses that he feels that Ren secretly wants to leave him.

BigB finds Grian at the Ranch and Grian gives him mutton; he then gives Jimmy rotten flesh. BigB and Grian head outside the wall surrounding the Ranch after Jimmy sends them away. BigB reveals that he received Grian’s gift, but states that Ren knows that BigB has a secret admirer, just not who it is. He places a chest with cookies in a somewhat failed heart shape as a gift for Grian. Grian gives BigB a piece of sugarcane, instructing him to keep it secret.

Grian reveals that he found sugarcane on the first episode but hadn’t taken all of it; however, it seems that no one else has the rest. Grian and BigB quickly pretend to be talking about something else as Martyn passes by, and BigB reveals that Ren and Martyn had gone on a little quest together. He vows to keep Grian’s secret safe with him, since they’re secret soulmates, and they agree to keep giving each other gifts and resources. He gives Grian more cookies and Grian tells him to gather sand so they can have a monopoly on TNT.

BigB walks back to Box and worries about Ren finding out his secret. He adds a mouth, a hand, and a mole to Box. He finds a donkey walking around outside and takes it to Box, though wonders whether it might have belonged to someone else. He finds Jimmy, who proposes to take the donkey to the Ranch, but BigB refuses.

They walk past the Relationship Ranch, and Scott, who overheard their conversation, thinks that his own Ranch is a better place for the donkey. Scott and Jimmy then argue about whose Ranch is better. GoodTimesWithScar passes by, complaining that he can’t find Grian and that Grian has been taking constant damage. Jimmy steals BigB’s donkey and takes it to the Ranch; BigB admits that the donkey might have belonged to Cleo originally.

Scar tells BigB he wants sunglasses and gives BigB his horn before leaving. Cleo and Etho come to the Relationship Ranch and BigB compliments Cleo’s diamond armor. BigB notices Scar chasing Pearl, who stole Scar’s horse. BigB goes home to Box and meets Ren there. Ren asks BigB where he has been, but BigB doesn’t elaborate and instead says that Ren has been gone for so long that Box has grown a mouth and an arm. Box supposedly even said its first word: ‘Ren’.

Ren confesses that he’d thought BigB had abandoned him because he couldn’t find him after returning from the deep dark. BigB still doesn’t tell Ren where he was. Ren confesses that he started an alliance with the other people on the server who’ve had their hearts broken. BigB shows that he got a horn from Scar, who wants sunglasses in return.

Ren states that he joined a support group because he has a feeling in his heart that BigB is going to leave him. BigB tells him he could never do that and that he’d told Ren about his secret admirer; he confesses that he thought Ren might leave him for Martyn when they stayed in the deep dark together.

Ren breeds the cows and tells BigB he’s formed a group with Martyn and Pearl; he explains his idea that joining the demoness will get them to survive until the end of the series. He explains that by sending love to Pearl, he hopes that her curse will go in a different direction.

BigB tells Ren about Scott’s Relationship Ranch, where soulmates can strengthen their bond, and the two decide to go there. They find Scott talking to Grian and Ren tells the two that he and BigB just had their first fight. Scar arrives and Scott first helps Grian and Scar before it’s Ren and BigB’s turn. Ren tells Scott that BigB got a box of chocolates from a secret admirer.

Scott takes Ren and BigB to the first activity on the Ranch and puts them in separate corridors, with a goat in BigB’s corridor. He explains that BigB will have to dodge when the goat is charging at him to avoid hurting his soulmate, while Ren in the meantime can talk about his feelings. Scott guesses that Ren is jealous he doesn’t have a secret admirer himself and is upset that BigB doesn’t give him gifts like the secret admirer gave to BigB; Ren admits this all to be true.

BigB pops in stating that Ren sometimes lashes out, but Ren defends himself saying it’s just passion. BigB gets hit by the goat, which Scott notes is interesting. He lets Ren and BigB out of their separate spaces and concludes that the main problems with their relationship are jealousy and insecurity; Ren adds that it’s because BigB’s glasses aren’t yellow like his own.

BigB defends himself, stating that he didn’t know his glasses were supposed to be yellow today. Scott notes that BigB changed his appearance for Ren by wearing dog ears and glasses, but Ren’s not wearing anything of BigB’s; BigB thinks that Ren looks more like Martyn now. Ren feels ashamed.

Scott leads the two to the second activity. He explains that BigB is going to stand in powder snow while Ren’s going to have a bucket; Ren is to either trust BigB to leave the snow on time for them to not die, or call quits and remove the snow himself. The two take their places and discuss their feelings again as BigB freezes; Ren mentions that he was very happy to see Box with a hand, a mouth, and a mole. BigB knew that Ren would like the hand, but Ren questions whether the mole means that BigB thinks that Ren is ugly; BigB then leaves the powder snow with one-and-a-half hearts left.

Ren and BigB recover while Scott states that it’s good that Ren trusted BigB to leave the snow in time, though Ren admits he might have a death wish. They make their way to the last activity and Ren apologizes to BigB for not wearing anything of his and for not trusting him to put a disgusting hand on Box; BigB forgives Ren. Scott explains the last activity, ‘trust fall’; Ren is to jump of a cliff with BigB at the bottom, and BigB is to place water in time while Ren is already jumping.

Ren jumps down and BigB places water, but he wasn’t in time to prevent Ren from taking damage. Scott notices that BigB seemed slow to place the water, but Ren forgives BigB for it. BigB gives the water bucket back to Scott and Scott leaves to consult his notes to decide what his verdict is on the relationship.

Ren and BigB reflect on the session and apologize to each other; Ren apologizes for starting an alliance with others, and BigB apologizes for meeting up with his secret admirer. Ren is shocked to hear this last part while Scott returns. Scott states that this changes his verdict; he thinks that BigB isn’t fully satisfied with Ren if he met up with the secret admirer. BigB tries to defend himself, stating that his admirer came to him. Scott states that his expert opinion is that BigB and Ren should take a break from each other, and Ren disconnects in shock.

BigB tells Scott that he feels free and relieved now that Ren is gone. Scott tells BigB that he doesn’t have to stay with his soulmate; he himself and Cleo are living proof of that. BigB asks if he can leave a review and Scott tells him he’ll eventually put up a podium with a book once he has paper. BigB promises to leave a five-star review and leaves.

BigB goes to Box but finds that Ren isn’t there. He hears a warden and notices a large group of people running from the Ranch while being chased by a warden. They draw the warden to Scott’s Relationship Ranch and BigB finds out that TangoTek brought it to the surface and name tagged it; Grian asks what its name is, and Tango tells him to go up to the warden and find out.

BigB and Bdubs separate from the group and Bdubs attacks a creeper. BigB tries to help while he’s riding his horse but gets blown up instead, losing his second life. BigB and Ren respawn and BigB tells Ren it was Bdubs’ fault. Ren leaves to go look for his items while BigB returns to Bdubs riding another horse.

BigB finds Bdubs and Impulse putting his items in a barrel, and they discuss what happened. Bdubs apologizes to BigB and BigB retrieves his items from the barrel and puts on his armor. Bdubs tells BigB that his horse survived at least. Bdubs and Impulse get scared when they see BigB put his sword in his main hand and run away.

BigB meets Etho and some other people and confesses that he’s not feeling well but at least was able to recover his gear. He jokingly blames Pearl for his death and explains what happened with Bdubs and the creeper. Cleo asks him if he’s going after Bdubs now, and BigB feels like he should; Cleo thinks he should as well because Bdubs is a liar. Etho claims that Bdubs made fun of the face on Box. Cleo thinks that Impulse should be a target as well since he’s a liar too.

BigB expresses his disbelief at being red, but Cleo says she’s not surprised. BigB tells her it was a mistake to say that, and Cleo apologizes and gives him steak. BigB returns to Box and claims responsibility for what happened with the creeper; he recognizes that he shouldn’t have tried to help. He then ends the episode.
