during the challenge.

Nickel approaches Candle and Silver to finish the challenge, but Candle brings up Baseball, putting a shocked expression on Nickel’s face. The two bring up the fact that Balloon had “been the reason” he had gotten out, and that he was banking his entire game on Balloon, who had “severed” him from Baseball. Nickel comes to the conclusion that none of his relationships were real, and that it was only his luck causing it to happen. Nickel says he was sick and tired of being the only person who could win because of his luck.

Timeskip. During the elimination.

MePhone asks Yin-Yang if he would want to drink the Immunity Milk to potentially save himself from the elimination. Cabby doubts the larger alliance would take the risk. Silver threatens them, but Yin-Yang ultimately decides against drinking it. MePhone starts reading the votes. Cabby, Yin-Yang, and Candle all receive 2 votes. Silver and Candle look smug as the final vote is read. However, much to their shock, Candle is revealed to be the 13th contestant eliminated from Inanimate Insanity Invitational.

Balloon hops up, being followed by a questioning Nickel. Balloon tells him that he heard everything he said on the glacier. Balloon is upset with Nickel because he can’t move on from the past, telling him he now wanted to focus on the future. Nickel tells him the cookie thing was just to make Silver and Candle comfortable but Balloon retorts stating that he put them over him. Candle reminds Nickel that a bad option was what he wanted, which makes Nickel realize that the luck was broken due to him dying.

balloon: "I'm sorry, but this conversation won't continue."

he said, looking away with a depressed expression.

nickel: "why? What for? Am I a idiot?"

he said, those words instantly made balloon tear up a little but he tried to hide it.
