1	Things are bad...very bad. Megabyte has an entire sector's worth of [[=PIDs=]] within reach, and Bob and Dot are trapped in the Fun House game! Can a vision of a possible future get Dot's spirit back?

5	!!This episode has examples of
6
7	* AllUpToYou: Early in the Fun House, Bob runs into a trap and gets incapacitated, leaving it to Dot to win. He even says, "It's all up to you!" before he gets taken away. Given her severe loss of confidence, the additional pressure is not something Dot needs.
8	* BigNo: Dot, when her vision ends with seeing herself with a shaved head and a barcode imprinted on her forehead.
9	* EurekaMoment: After winning the game, Bob wonders why Megabyte's forces are still patrolling the sector borders if he has the [=PIDs=]. This causes Dot to remember that all the files on her organizer are encrypted- and that they might have time to retrieve the stolen [=PIDs=] before the Virals can break the code.
10	* FromBadToWorse: The vision progressively gets worse for Dot: the city is completely under Megabyte's thumb, her diner has become a seedy dive, Enzo is a thug, Phong is insane, and Bob has been nullified.
11	* InternalReveal: Dot figured out Cyrus betrayed her when he happened to be Megabyte's lieutenant in her vision.
12	* ItsAWonderfulPlot: While not "What if X was never born", Dot's future vision shows what would happen if she just gave up.
13	* JustInTime: Dot is able to hack into Megabyte's computers and retake the [=PIDs=] ''just'' as Herr Doktor is able to decrypt them.
14	* LaserGuidedKarma: Cyrus, who betrayed Dot's trust and tried to sell out his sector to Megabyte, is named by Dot as the one responsible for her getting the [=PIDs=] back. For this, Megabyte makes him a shoeshiner.
15	* MeaningfulEcho: After reclaiming the [=PIDs=] and freeing the sector from Megabyte, Dot gives a public speech very similar to the one Megabyte gave in the last episode.
16	* MonsterClown: The User's character.
17	* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: Dot, when she saw Mainframe becoming Megaframe because she gave up too soon.
18	* NewPowersAsThePlotDemands: Somehow, Phong is able to see what's happening in a game, and go in there as well for this episode.
19	* NintendoHard: Inverted. The reason the Funhouse is so dreaded is because it's frighteningly easy for the User to win, due to a combination of lightweight challenges and brief length.
20	* ObfuscatingInsanity: In the BadFuture, Dot sees that Phong has been reduced to an insane homeless man barely able to maintain his train of thought. However, just as Dot understands what this is all about, he reverts to his true personality to help push her along.
21	* SanitySlippage: Phong in the BadFuture... supposedly.
