"Kiloto the Minoto" is the two-part fifth episode of the second reboot of Object Terror, and the 17th overall.
The contestants must survive in the Conotiopia Central Park for 12 hours without being turned into Ludicrous Gibs by an Ax-Crazy minotaur. This episode is also the introduction of Smore, who is more dangerous than he lets on.
Full Recap
Part 1
Where we last left off, Fart eagerly asks Road Sign if they can play more Football but she declines. All of a sudden, El Nudelo Spider appears out of the blue and says he's back from his 'vacation' in hell.note He talks about his time in the depths of hell, how he enjoyed the continuous inferno and screaming, made new friends and brought back a lump of burning coal as a souvenir. And speaking of friends, the spider shows one to Road Sign and Fart on his phone: Smore. The very friend came up to the trio as if on cue upon the mention of his name. While El Nudelo Spider warmly greets him, Smore asked about an "open interceptor" he heard about. Road Sign leads him and the others towards Printer who walked onscreen to tell everyone about Elimination Time, only to receive a nasty surprise from a certain four-legged Sitcom Arch-Nemesis.Printer welcomes El Nudelo Spider by screaming in his face to scat but then notices and turns his attention towards Smore. Wanting a job, Smore tries to convince Printer in rhymes about how he desperately needed the money and that he would lock all their souls inside a chest. Printer mistook the last part for him being an "old vegan", to which Fart confirms it, and hires Smore as the second intern because of it. Smore expresses his gratitude and Printer proceeds to get on with the elimination but wait, El Nudelo Spider wants to rejoin the show. This of course earns fierce objection with additional ear-splitting screaming to the spider's wishes. Unfortunately for Printer, Computer overrules his by placing El Nudelo Spider on the Tug-Of-War Trains, on the condition of a burning piece of coal which the spider coincidentally have. "I HATE YOU COMPUTER!!!" cried Printer, bawling his eyes out and running off-screen like a grounded teenager. Now that lengthy interruption is out of the way, the elimination can finally begin....right after the intro and title card.
This elimination gained a record-breaking total of 3760 votes (1751 likes and 2009 dislikes) in which Beep Boop surprisingly won a bag of Computer's belly button lint for the most likes at 356. The elimination prizes for this episode are bottles filled with strange yellow fluid that was first received by Coffee Cup, Whipped Cream, Recycling Bin, and Stapler. Curious to know what the "yellow fluid" is and thinking it's apple juice, Stapler decides to drink some of it in her bottle. When Whipped Cream exclaims that liquid is actually Computer's Urine, according to the bottle label, Stapler unintentionally throws up all over Carpet in repulse. In spite of Computer defending himself in saying he had to put the bottles to good use, Whipped Cream is still justifiably mad for giving those detestable "prizes" at all. Biscuit and Carpet were the next ones safe with Beep Boop, Paint and Magazine remaining as the bottom 3. Jumping the gun, Computer immediately eliminates Magazine who apologizes for her actions last episode to Biscuit, telling her to win for them, in a heartfelt moment which abruptly ended by the spikes. However, Computer's actions were not impulsive, revealing it to be a surprise double elimination. Out of the bottom 2, Beep Boop is the final one called safe, meaning Paint is the second eliminated.
Late at night, Smore writes in his diary about his true intentions for joining Object Terror — stealing the souls of every single contestant in order to please his boss, the head honcho of hell himself, Satan. The scene cuts to the cast doing the "Carlton Banks Dance" for absolutely no reason outside the Conotiopia Central Park's gate entrance. Printer refuses to explain the challenge this time around so Computer directs everyone towards a cage. A cage that would hold a rampaging, homicidal minotaur for the fifth challenge because at 6 pm, the minotaur will be released and hunt down the contestants one by one until 6 am. The objection for the teams is to stay alive during the twelve-hour time period without getting massacred. The team with the least surviving members would be put up for elimination. Flash Drive complains how the challenges nowadays is just senseless murder and wish for simpler times like "P to the Fourth" but Computer digress and said it sucked. Ignoring him, Flash Drive asked where's the minotaur which Computer was about to summon using his 'summoner ball'. But hold up, he seemed to had lost it despite checking everywhere.
Cue Printer singing the song, "Did He":
Realizing there was no point in that musical number, Printer orders Honey and Smore to head downtown in his car and find a replacement minotaur. He does warn them about doing anything sketchy because he can and will fire them to which the interns assure him otherwise. Honey takes the wheel and Smore gives her directions to the Conotiopia Cinema in the claim that all sorts of creatures roam there. The two find themselves queuing a snaking line at the theatre, frustrating Honey how it'll take ages. (Un)Fortunately, Smore had the genius idea of staging a terrorist attack with flash grenades and kidnapping the minotaur working the concession amidst the chaos. surprisingly went well until unsurprisingly the cops from "A Diamond Heist" came busting in. Smore manages to evade arrest by pinning the blame on Blue Drago who's holding a water gun for some reason. Drago screams his innocence as he's escorted to prison while the interns escape undetected with their newly-caught Minotaur...only to be stared down angrily by their boss.
Printer, pissed off more than ever, asked where they acquired the minotaur. Smore tries lying again though it soon falls apart with the Coincidental Broadcast of some brown square at large setting off a fake bomb threat alongside an accomplice. Understandably, Printer reprimand Smore, who can do nothing but utter Oh, Crap!, and was about to scream he's fired when the latter saves his job at the last second by arguing it's another brown square object since the news didn't accurately describe the perpetrator.

Part 2
...
And now, another unnecessary musical sequence titled "Wago Wagon":
In the air, Carpet is convinced he's the magic carpet after all due to his Not Quite Flying. Stapler happily hops onto him in hopes of continuing the song but Carpet refuses and their flying carpet experience screeches to a halt (Literally so as both of them were screaming their heads off) upon entering the inside of Trowel's couch. Between the seat cushions, Stapler gets comfortable, much to Carpet's discomfort since she's sitting on him, and discovers Trowel and Beer watching "The Legoboynj Power Hour". She then decides to prank the two with Carpet and began executing their plan. Trowel and Beer remain unaware of the couch intruders and are weirded out seeing themselves in "Kings of Parkour". They complain how Beer's voice actor sounds terrible enough to make someone's ears pop, hilarious considering Beer still has the same voice actor, before Trowel changes the subject by asking for some chicken from Beer's KFC bucket. Things get strange when Trowel grabbed the chicken in a way both of them (after Beer was egged on) interpret as...suggestive. Suddenly and without much warning, Trowel and Beer started making out on the couch for a good (and very unnerving) ten seconds onscreen.
...

- All for Nothing: Trowel states this in his rant at the end of the episode.Trowel: "Wait a minute...So, what you're saying is I sat through twelve hours of TV for nothing, ordered KFC for nothing and kicked Stapler, Whipped Cream, Beep Boop, and Carpet out of my couch FOR NOTHING!?"
- All There in the Script: Beer's sister, who appears in his Flashback, was listed as Wine in the credits.
- And Call Him "George": Coffee Cup's death, courtesy of Recycling Bin giving him a long, suffocating Bear Hug.

- Attack the Mouth: Flash Drive is sliced into two at the mouth with a battle-ax.
- Booby Trap: Skittle unknowingly steps into one and gets her face smashed out by a giant mallet.

- Deadly Prank: Stapler and Carpet attempted to do this to Beer and Trowel by smashing Beer with a hammer and laughing at Trowel's misfortune. However, just before executing their plan into action, they accidentally stumbled onto their intended victims having an intense make-out session. This ends with Carpet and Stapler calling off the prank and suffering a double case of Brain Bleach.
- Debut Queue: Smore's debut.
- Epic Fail: Recycling Bin tries to shoot a basketball hoop, in the midst of being chased by the deranged minotaur, only for the basketball to completely missed the shot, bounced off the rim and smacked him right in the face. The Minotaur was not impressed.
- Flashback: Not one but 3 consecutive flashbacks, all unrelated and told by different people as listed chronologically:
- Recycling Bin relates the incident in his 7th-grade health class that started his fear of blood to Coffee Cup.
- Beer explains to Trowel that he lost his phone because of his sister, Wine.

- Imagined Innuendo: Trowel misinterpreted Beer's gesture of offering KFC chicken as something dirty (And no, watching the episode doesn't make any sense in context either). Beer, understandably, was confused by this until Trowel smugly replied "You know what I mean", making him realise the latter's desire of getting to first base to which he eagerly complied.
- Immediate Sequel: Begins from the stinger of the previous episode.
- Irony: Trowel and Beer decided to make out in the open woods of the Conotiopia Central Park when there is a homicidal minotaur on the loose (that they were fully aware of).

- Musicalis Interruptus:
- On Three: Done by Carpet so Stapler can enact their Deadly Prank on Beer and Trowel but judging by her horrified look on what they were doing at that point, you'll bet she instantly regretted it.
- Rock–Paper–Scissors: Recycling Bin and Coffee Cup did this to decide who would go first in telling their secret. This resulted in going nowhere since both keep doing rock until they change it to rolling a die.
- Self-Deprecation: Trowel and Beer complain about how awful Beer's voice actor sounds when watching the episode "Kings of Parkour" on Trowel's TV. This is in spite of Beer still having the same voice actor.
- Skewed Priorities: Recycling Bin was running for his life to avoid a gruesome death at the hands of the minotaur but upon spotting a basketball court, he stopped the chase to score a 3-pointer. Epic Fail ensures.
- Shout-Out:

- Swallowed Whole: Plug's death.
- Tear Off Your Face: Chris the Minotaur invokes this on Biscuit and the end result is not pretty, to say the least.

- Terror at Make-Out Point: Trowel and Beer engage in this while being fully aware that the Ax-Crazy Minotaur, Chris, is lurking somewhere in the Conotiopia Central Park. Ironically, they were never attacked during this, which would be commonly expected from such a trope, and became the only survivors on their team.

- When the Clock Strikes Twelve: The challenge starts and ends at 6 on the dot, there's even a clock tower that chimes once the challenge is over.
