Things are about to get crazy...

The sixteenth episode of Battle for BFDI and the 47th episode of the overall series, in which the eliminated contestants attempt to escape the EXIT, Spongy (who has just been eliminated) and Loser rejoin the game, and Two splits the show into two separate shows and most of the contestants leave to compete in the new show, Battle for Dream Island: The Power of Two.

Tropes include:

  • Backdoor Pilot: This episode revolves around the introduction of Two, a brand new character that proposes a new show where the winner would get their limitless power. By the end of the episode, BFB has split up into two shows: The Power of Two, where a majority of the contestants switched to, and Battle for BFB, the continuation of Battle for BFDI that is still hosted by Four and has the remaining contestants.
  • The Bus Came Back: Loser is the only eliminated contestant who successfully manages to escape EXIT through Spongy, and subsequently rejoins BFB as a result.
  • Despair Event Horizon: Four hits this hard as a result of everybody leaving him. When X comes up to him, asking if he wants a juice box, Four asks X if he is going to leave, too, X is unable to give a straight answer, leaving Four to break down crying as he yells at X to go... leaving X heartbroken as he does. Ouch!
  • Jerkass Ball: The objects that are still in the game are hit by this. Some of them switch to Two's show with no remorse and no concern for Four's well-being, even saying that they'll switch to Two's show in his face.
  • Mushroom Samba: Four experiences one after a single flame touches his skin, causing him to black out and experience a hypnotic trip.
  • O.O.C. Is Serious Business: Four can easily suck up eliminated contestants into him, but when he tries to suck up Spongy, he struggles and eventually fails. Also, fire is very harmful to him, as he goes into a hypnotic state after a flame touches his skin.
  • Weaksauce Weakness: Four has trouble sucking up huge contestants, such as Spongy, and fire apparently hurts him so that he loses consciousness and goes into a hypnotic state after a single flame touches him.
  • Wham Episode: The show splits in two, splitting up most of the dramatic and lighthearted elements. A new character named Two shows up and convinces the majority of BFB's cast to switch to their new show, dubbed The Power of Two. In an attempt to salvage the contestants' interest, Four changes the prize to a BFB (thus changing the title to Battle For BFB). The majority of BFB's cast switches to the new show anyway, taking several of the heavy story arcs and character depth with them. When Taco asks Four if the show will be okay, Four shrugs off the dramatic events, indicating that Battle For BFB is once again Revisiting the Roots of the lighthearted first season.
  • Wingding Eyes: Tree, Ruby and Eraser have heart eyes when Loser escapes EXIT through Spongy.
