Plot
Mike breaks into Matt's house and fails to sneak up on him. Held at gunpoint with a sawed off shotgun, Mike tries to explain. He tells Matt the details of his death and what led Mike to discover and play WOE.BEGONE. Matt relaxes and puts down the gun when Mike explains that Matt is his prize, that Mike's death means Matt's death.

Mike then explains the details of the fourth challenge, and Matt is immediately put on edge. Mike tries to justify his actions, convincing Matt to let him kill him. Mike points out strange details, like how Matt is awake at 3 a.m., that he hasn't seen Matt's supposed wife and kids, and that his house is much smaller and cheaper than Mike assumed from his supposed large amounts of money. Mike promises to bring Matt back to life when he gets the technology, constantly wavering in his resolve to kill Matt. As Mike is talking, there is a sudden whooshing noise and he's left feeling disoriented.

When Mike recovers, he notices Matt is crying, that his hair is parted differently, and that they are on opposite sides of the table from where they were previously. He also realizes he has a head injury; he has a headache and his head is bleeding. Matt slides the gun across the table to Mike. Mike is confused by this; he feels as though something just happened. He doesn't remember explaining WOE.BEGONE to Matt, and he suspects that someone gave Matt proof of WOE.BEGONE.

Mike explains the despair he felt after Matt's death, that he's sorry, and that he loves him. He shoots Matt, and the episode ends.
