Four Goes Too Far is the 6^th episode of BFDI, and the 37^th episode of the Battle for Dream Island series. It was released on February 2nd, 2018.

Coverage

Cold open

The first scene shows Yellow Face advertising his "revolutionary" earmuffs to prevent "loud noises". After Yellow Face wears them, Four joins in (right between the earmuffs) and screeches him. After that, Foldy tells Four to stop screeching because it's no longer funny, resulting in mutilation. Stapy gets mad at him for doing so and supposedly throws a fork at him. Four responds by nonchalantly blasting an Energy Beam at Stapy, which isn't powerful enough to kill him. Meanwhile, Basketball says that Four's destruction is getting more and more ruthless and that he needs to stop. Basketball asks 8-Ball what to do, and 8-Ball insists that everything relies on Golf Ball, to which Golf Ball gasps in excitement. Golf Ball states that they should multiply Four by zero since any number multiplied by zero is still zero. They then notice that Donut is shaped like a zero, and insists on using him to do so, much to Donut's annoyance.

Cake at Stake

Four about to be multiplied by zero (Donut)

Cake at Stake starts with Four saying that it's the return of the "Beep Beep,” to which Balloony points out it is not their team name. Then, Roboty beeps twice, effectively saying "Beep Beep". Balloony tells Roboty he is not helping.

The prize for the Cake at Stake is Orange Paint, (tangerine juice) which is first demonstrated with Cloudy when he is deemed safe. Cloudy is disgusted that he is now made out of "evaporated tangerine juice". Nickel, Rocky, Balloony and Woody also get to turn orange, being safe. It is now down to David and Roboty, the only two non-objects on BEEP, as pointed out by Four. Nickel, offended, asks Four if he's calling him an object, but Four, intolerant of criticism, prepares his energy beam.

Before Roboty gets eliminated, (and Four blasting Nickel) A Better Name Than That initiates their plan to multiply Four by zero (passing the recommended characters along the way). While Donut and Four combined, X ran away in fear, but since 4 (0) means 4 times 0, the plan worked anyway, giving Donut "the power of Four" or as Tennis said Four as a "factor" of Zero.

As a result, Golf Ball orders TV to calculate the final votes, and Roboty is eliminated. Without Four, however, Roboty isn't sent to Eternal Algebra Class and instead goes back to the waterfall from "Lick Your Way to Freedom".

Before the challenge

Pin asks what the challenge is now that Four is gone. Tennis Ball insists that Donut should be the new host, to which Donut accepts. Donut then chooses the challenge and takes out a syringe with a strange rainbow liquid known as the "Twinkle of Contagion". Donut then proceeds to inject himself with it, giving himself the Twinkle. Gelatin then appears and immaturely yet sarcastically corrects Donut by calling the substance the "tinkle of contagion", to which Donut calls Gelatin six years old in which Gelatin explains that he is six years old. He explains to the contestants that the challenge is to avoid looking at whoever has the Twinkle and to give it to another team if they receive it. Whoever has the contagion at the end of the three-hour period loses for their team.

Challenge

The game begins when Donut gives the Twinkle to Stapy. Stapy then gives the Twinkle to Gelatin, who then starts a chain of passing the infection. The chain stops for a moment once it gets to Donut so that the episode would display the contestants grouped up in the shape of a heart with the message, "Happy Valentine's Day" shown on the bottom. The chain then continues.

Death P.A.C.T. is the first to come up with a plan, which is to simply close their eyes for the remainder of the challenge.

The Losers! form a plan to hide under one of X's old baskets (which X was hiding under), protecting them from the Twinkle. Meanwhile, Golf Ball orders her team on her rocket ship to escape the Twinkle. Overhearing this,  secretly latches on to the rocket.

Back on Earth, Bubble contracts the Twinkle, and Match who is right next to her decides to do a staring contest with her. This has the effect of the Twinkle rapidly switching between them, and it starts to make a noise that distracts Pen and makes him look at the two despite Tree telling him not to, and thus contracting the Twinkle.

In an effort to rid himself of it, Pen attempts to pass it to Free Food. He tries running around circles, which as a response the whole team just turns around to face opposite of him, but once Pen figures out to change directions suddenly, he successfully passes the Twinkle to Marker.

As latching on to the rocket in outer space, Saw is fascinated by how outer space looks and she's never experienced it before. After this, Book tells Saw to look at the Earth from the view, only to get the Twinkle and have it transfer throughout their team. Taco, at the end of the line of teammates holding hands, decides to escape much to the annoyance of her teammates. When A Better Name Than That lands their rocket on the Moon, Golf Ball's plan fails once Dora transfers the Twinkle to her. The two teams then start a staring contest with each other, as Taco is shown landing back on Earth.

With The Losers! safe in the basket and the rest of the teammates admiring Loser, Pin discusses her fear to Coiny about their team's over-reliance on Loser and their potential inability to work together if Loser is gone. Coiny comforts her by reminding her and himself about their experiences of team leadership from their team W.O.A.H. Bunch in BFDIA. Pin is flattered by Coiny's comfort.

With 5 minutes left in the contest, While team A Better Name Than That and have their staring contest, Taco finds Bell from Free Food and tricks her into contracting the Twinkle by looking at the moon. On the moon, the two teams celebrate in both of them not having it anymore, just as the rocket breaks.

With 30 seconds left, Bell feels hopeless of winning, when Eraser suggests to her to use her string to transfer her Twinkle to another team, the only one not knowing who has the Twinkle: The Losers!, still hiding under their basket. She then starts trying to break the basket. The Losers! are nervous about the constant banging and Clock volunteers to investigate it. After one final swing, Bell manages to break a piece of the basket. Clock sees Bell at the last second before the challenge is over, causing his team to lose. As the team pities their loss, Clock tries to remind them that he made the team win in episodes 1 and 3.

Stinger

The ending shows that teams A Better Name Than That and  are still stuck on the moon. Golf Ball then says "Um, are they gonna pick us up or what?", a reference to the stinger of "Barriers and Pitfalls".

Trivia

• Teardrop was using the BFDI scream, while in the heart scene.
• In This Episode Is About Basketball, it was revealed that X ran away, so he didn't really need to be used for the multiplication.
• This is the second episode to have a challenge with a set time limit. The first was Today’s Very Special Episode.
• When Golf Ball said,"Um, are they gonna pick us up or what?" at the stinger, it may be a reference to Barriers and Pitfalls, the second episode of BFDI, where she says the same thing when she and most of the other contestants are still trapped in the pitfalls/losers' waiting room at the end of the episode.
• This episode has the most characters featured in the thumbnail, with a total of 21 appearing.
• This is the first episode of BFB to have a Yellow Face advertisement.
  • In this case, it was cut short because Yellow Face was screeched by Four.
• This is also the first episode of BFB to not be written by Michael Huang, and the first to be written by Kenzie Bryant.
• BEEP is the first team in BFB to lose more than one member.
• Roboty is the first eliminated contestant of this season who wasn't sent to Eternal Algebra Class. The second is Loser.

• Certain characters had no lines in this episode, such as Snowball, Black Hole, Bottle, Fanny, Flower, Bomby, Naily, Lightning, Firey Jr, Ruby, Barf Bag, Remote, Puffball, and Pillow; the least amount of line-less people since Getting Teardrop to Talk.
• This is the first episode in this season where Coiny slaps Firey.
• This is the first episode a male contestant is eliminated because all 7 remaining members of Beep are male. That also means the streak of female contestants being eliminated (Pencil, Leafy, Bracelety, Liy) was broken. This also marks the first time since Get Digging that a male contestant is eliminated.
• This is the first time the name of the contestant with the fewest votes do not start with a 'B', considering Pen's legal name is "🅱️en".

• This is the second challenge in a row to not have rankings.
• It was the first time Dora spoke since BFB 1.
• This is the first time in the series where a real photo of a person appears - on TV after Bleh and A Better Name Than That lost their twinkle and after they realized the rocket is broken.
• Bottle still has her fortune cookie from Fortunate Ben.
• This is the first episode to be hosted by a contestant.
• This episode reveals that Gelatin is 6 years old, at least according to Gelatin.
  • This is a possible reference to the fact that Gelatin's first appearance was in 2012, which was 6 years ago.
• Neither of the characters voiced by Sabrina Barba had lines in this episode.
• When Taco said "Isn't the moon beautiful tonight?" it might be a reference from the moon back in January 31, 2018 (Super Blue Blood Moon).

  • Bell had the Twinkle of Contagion for the longest time known to the viewers, over 30 seconds.
• This is the first episode of BFB where Snowball doesn't say anything.

• The thumbnail contains part of the original, automatic thumbnail.
• David can be seen as orange after the elimination.
• This is the second time that Golf Ball didn't have dimples, and it wasn't an error, since she was having the twinkle at such time, thus leaving the dimples not visible.
• In Donut's explanation of challenge, Yellow Face had 3 rows of teeth.
  • This could be a reference to the short, Paper Towel.
• This is the first episode where contestants have gone to the Moon.
• In Cary Huang's BFB 6 behind the scenes video, he stated that X was dead. X did not appear in BFB 7, which many fans were anticipating BFB 7 to be X's own episode since in X finds out his Value X is equal to 7. But disappointingly, he wasn't recovered. However, he returns in This Episode Is About Basketball.
• This is the first episode to get further then BFDIA.
  • This could be the reason for all the BFDIA references.
• When TV is told to calculate the votes, he says "HELLO WORLD". This is a reference to various coding programs, which have "HELLO WORLD" as their default message.
• The Elimination is coincidental due to Roboty being 6 letters and BFB 6.
• This is the first episode to have more than one thumbnail.
• Donut's line "This can't be real" was originally "Oh, dear God.", but this was scrapped due to it being 'too edgy'.
• At 6:41, when Pen just gave Marker the twinkle, he was looking at him but didn't get the twinkle back.
• A Gelatin Version of the thumbnail temporarily existed.
  • In that version, Flower's eyes are creepy and Gelatin is the main character in the thumbnail.
    • After the Gelatin Version, Flower's eyes returned to normal and Gelatin was replaced by Stapy.
• This is the fourth episode to have a character's name in the title, the first three being Are You Smarter Than a Snowball?, Getting Teardrop to Talk, and Fortunate Ben (with This Episode Is About Basketball being the fifth).
  • Coincidentally, Four is the character mentioned in the episode title.

• Saw was the first one to grab onto the rocket, but when they were in space, Gaty was holding on.

Continuity references
