Tommy's stream starts. It's black, and we can't see anything. We drop in on a conversation between Tommy and Wilbur, talking about various things like the heat death of the universe and competitive solitaire. Tommy's frustrated that the only person he can talk to is Wilbur since he doesn't want to talk to Mexican Dream and Schlatt's been sleeping the whole time. But as they continue their conversation, Wilbur's voice steadily fades to the point where Tommy can't make out what he's saying anymore. Tommy shouts out, trying to get him back. Wilbur's voice is better than no voice, after all. But as Tommy shouts again, Wilbur's voice pretty much completely faded now, Dream's voice suddenly cuts in.
Tommy turns his facecam on, and the game shows that Tommy is now standing in Dream's cell. Dream welcomes him back, gloating as he says that he used the revival book to bring Tommy back from the dead.
He's excited to hear all about it as Tommy is a bit woozy and off-kilter from returning to the land of the living. Dream asks him what it felt like, and Tommy says "like being ground into dust." To Tommy, it felt like he was dead for three months, lost in a void and unable to see anything. But in reality, he was only dead for three days.
Tommy asks Dream to pinch him, that he must be dreaming. When Dream does, Tommy flinches away and tells him to never do that again.
Dream's in awe of himself, saying that he's a god, that the resurrection book worked, that he can do whatever he wants to on the server. No one can stop him, not even death. He offers the gift of immortality to Tommy. Anytime that Tommy dies, Dream can just revive him. Tommy adamantly refuses.
As Dream further contemplates what powers he now has, he realizes that he'll let Tommy leave the prison once Sam figures out he's back, but Dream will also bring back Wilbur. Tommy pleads with Dream to never bring Wilbur back. Based on their conversations, Wilbur has not changed at all, and Tommy does not want him back.
Phil and Fundy meet Michael in the supervision of Tubbo and Ranboo. Ranboo makes Phil promise that he won't bring anything up to Techno about having a family in Snowchester. To the best of Techno's knowledge, Ranboo still lives in their backyard in their shack. Phil agrees to keep it a secret.
The Syndicate has another meeting, finally finishing up a draft for a membership contract and setting the anarchist rules and equality between all members.
Niki is frustrated with Jack and their plans to kill Tommy, so she takes Techno's offer to join the Syndicate. Ranboo is also invited to join.
They head down to the meeting room. This meeting, they all choose their code names based around Greek mythology. Techno chooses Protesilaus, the first hero to die in war. Phil chooses Zephyrus, the god of the west wind. Niki has Nemesis, goddess of revenge, and Ranboo takes Lethe, the spirit of forgetfulness. There is also a fifth member who wasn't able to make the meeting whose chair only says Harpocrates, god of silence and secrets. Techno doesn't give anyone any inkling as to who this may be.
After they choose their names, Ranboo brings up the news that Tommy died. The others don't really believe him. But the first official Syndicate meeting is adjorned. As they head out, Techno brings up the fact that Snowchester is starting to suspiciously look like a government, especially with Tubbo in charge.
They all travel to Snowchester, and when they get there, Ranboo does his best to take down anything that would tie him to Snowchester and his family. Family portraits, his room, even the ladder to Michael's room gets taken down or sealed off. Thankfully, Tubbo doesn't talk too much, and Techno soon rules that Snowchester is no where near a government.
Ranboo thanks Phil for keeping Michael and Tubbo a secret. Phil understands why Ranboo wants to keep it under wraps. They have a conversation where Phil admits that he still struggles with whether or not he did the right thing in killing Wilbur that day. Ranboo assures him that it was what Wilbur wanted.
Antfrost continues to plant Egg saplings around the server to spread the blood vines more. He places some in Hannah's house. He also announces an upcoming event, the Red Banquet, where the Eggpire will apologize to those they've wronged and prove that they can co-exist with everyone else on the server; a party to "turn over a new leaf" and "bury the hatchet."
Ponk visits Foolish's summer home and steals a few valuables before hiding TNT in his statues. They then lie to Foolish that they hid and detonated the TNT, destroying most of of Foolish's house. When Foolish panics and shows up, he finds that nothing was destroyed and the TNT still intact in one of his statues. This is when he starts to suspect that Ponk might not be under control of the Egg.
Hannah returns from her trip to Kinoko Kingdom feeling ill. She plants roses along the Prime Path to help keep her alive, but they're still not really working. When she gets home, she finds bloodvines covering her house, and she is pissed. She starts to remove the bloodvines with Sam when Bad and Ant show up.
After a brief argument, Bad and Ant convince Hannah to take a walk with them to the Egg Room. Sam warns her it's a bad idea, but Hannah goes anyways. They tell her to listen to the Egg, but she doesn't hear anything. When she goes to get a closer look, they trap her in the obsidian room. The two leave, saying that they'll be stopping by to feed her every once in a while. Hannah passes out.
