Summary
The episode starts with the lads revealing their new player skins. A Creeper blows up the set, forcing them to reload the map. When the competition finally starts, Ray gets killed by a Skeleton, then hides in a tree, calling it "Fort Ray." Gavin does a dig-down and hits Bedrock quickly, while Jack, Michael, and Geoff mine in their own areas. Ray decides to mess with Geoff and ends up stealing his iron ingots. Geoff decides to take it out of Ray's paycheck.

Ray later gets killed by Zombies, while Gavin tries to get back into his mine. Gavin tells a bad joke, causing Jack to question why they can't fire him. Gavin finds a "Squid orgy" as Geoff again realizes that Millie is always right about finding gold near lava. Michael gets killed by lava, while Ray demonstrates his trigger mashing skills. Jack complains about having a "dry streak," causing Gavin to insult him.

Ray talks about his parents, while Michael and Gavin reminisce about their favorite movies. Ray lags out of the game shortly afterward. Michael finds Geoff's mine and explores, but Geoff's torches aren't lit on Michael's screen. Gavin gets killed by the monsters outside his mine, as Michael takes Geoff's torches and re-mounts them on the wall, causing Geoff to frantically search for him.

Geoff explains to Michael how the world works, while Michael threatens to let lava loose. Gavin manages to place a gold block on his podium, while Jack gets killed by a Zombie. When the others discover Gavin's block, Michael starts attacking Gavin agressively. Jack joins in the fight, but is killed by Gavin. As Michael and Gavin fight, Jack then goes to Geoff's mine and tries to kill him, but is slain with a sword. Michael eventually kills Gavin and claims all of his stuff. The episode ends with Gavin and Michael talking about chipping their teeth sneezing.
