"P to the Fourth" is the third episode of the second reboot of Object Terror and the 15th overall.
Trowel, Beer, Cactus and Wallet are finally out of the slammer after that whole fiasco last episode which means the next challenge is underway. With the newest addition of an intern on the show and the stakes being raised, the contestants must face their most difficult and wackiest challenge yet...drawing pictures and guessing what it is.
Full Recap
The episode begins in prison, where Beer, Cactus, Trowel and Wallet were given the news that their bail has been posted, courtesy of Printer, and they're free to go. Back on competition grounds, Cactus shows off his muscles during his time in slammer to an angered Coffee Cup which were so absurdly ripped that the latter's face exploded from staring at it. Beep Boop came at the wrong time to talk about his sexy voice to Cactus and pulls a Screw This, I'm Outta Here. Cue the updated intro
.Flash Drive and Road Sign talk about the Bouncing Buses' upcoming elimination to which Printer butts in stating that it's happening right now. Elimination Time has come, garnering 1,258 votes with 599 likes and 659 dislikes. Skittle received the most likes at 142 so Computer gave her her very own Amiibo. Arch was understandably pissed at Computer. Now the dreaded moment has come, the dislikes. Who's gonna be the unlucky contender leaving the show? Well, unsurprisingly it's Wallet at 310, promptly squashed to death by the crushed spikes and rejoicing ensures among his former team.
Afterward, Printer goes to the challenge portion of the show which he calls "Picture Perfect, Picture Pathetic" ("P to the Fourth" for short) as well as introducing the contestants to Honey, the recently hired intern. He then explains the challenge in which he would randomly select five contestants using a bingo machine and give them a word for them to draw in 60 seconds. The other contestants will have to guess what the picture. If someone guesses it right, the time remaining is how many points their team will score. The five drawers in question are Paint, Arch, Beep Boop, Magazine and Mint.
Paint, after reading his word (Handbag), refuses to partake in the drawing. This causes him to be disqualified for saying his word out loud. Under the threat of disqualification from Printer due to protesting about his word, Arch goes up next though he insults him in German before doing so. Beer guesses Arch's drawing (A sugar cube) and the Bouncing Buses score 39 points. Beep Boop enthusiastically blurts out his word (Lettuce) before drawing, weirdly enough not suffering the same fate as Paint, to which Flash Drive immediately guesses correctly. As Flash Drive denies how he got it right, the Bouncing Buses gain another 57 points. Next was Magazine who hints at the guessers that it is what she uses all the time. She draws out her picture and some of the contestants can't seem to figure it out, silently enraging her as time runs out. Eventually, Biscuit correctly guesses her obvious drawing (a phone), scoring the Tug-of-War Trains 27 points at last.
The last drawer, Mint, refuses to do the challenge, not because of how dumb the word he received but because of his unibrow getting on his nerves. Mint demands to shave it while his unibrow protest that he will die if he does so. Too bad for Mint's unibrow since Biscuit handed her razor to Mint who carried on with the shaving. However, to his utter surprise, the unibrow was unscathed and had sprouted a pair of legs. As Unibrow runs off with his newfound freedom, Printer decided that it would be best to call off the challenge and tally the scores. The Bouncing Buses win unanimously at 96 points to the Tug-Of-War Trains' 27 points. As Skittle exclaims her Catchphrase, Printer tells the viewers to vote for one of the Tug-of-War Trains to be eliminated.
The stinger has Mint explaining to Fart why he had disliked his unibrow recently. It's because of him being meaner than usual to Mint. And with that concludes the third episode of Object Terror.

- Debut Queue: Honey's first appearance.
- Earn Your Happy Ending: Mint's unibrow, who had been suffering for the longest time dealing with Mint's antics, had escaped his demise of being shaved and finally leaving the show he dreads so much with his newly gained legs. Never to be seen again.
- Insulting from Behind the Language Barrier: After Paint is disqualified from the contest, Arch, who is also under threat of being disqualified, goes up next and insults Printer in German before doing so.

- Shoutout:
