Plot
The episode begins with three men beating up Mike Walters. Mike assumes that they are O.V.E.R. personnel, as he had accidentally activated the emergency button. Occasionally, there will be sounds of distortion that interrupts Mike as he speaks. The first time it happens, Mike feels as though his head was knocked into the table, but no one moved.

Mike begins to explain that he had sent the codes he took pictures of in 15: The Bear to Ryan. Ryan decoded them, and determined that it was a three-tiered sequence of numbers; it was like a password with three different parts. Mike determines that the boulders are what he was meant to distract Marissa from, so he decided to check if he could input the codes there. Mike emphasizes that Marissa was not involved with his actions.

Mike then dug under the fence between Tiers 1 and 2 to get to the boulders using a collapsible shovel. He found a lock on them, where he explains that the lock takes in a 16 digit code where one shock corresponds to the number one. Mike had brought his button with him in case he got caught, so he could prove he was a security guard. However, once he finished inputting the code, his button went off.

The button created an incredibly loud noise, and Mike panicked. He buried the button in the ground and ran back to his cabin. When he got back, he discovered the three men at his cabin, and was caught and beat up by them. The three men reveal that there were other passwords put in at the same time elsewhere, but Mike emphatically explains that he had no idea someone inputted codes at the same time as him.

Mike continues to try to explain that time travel means he might not even know who it was inputting codes until the future. One man stabs a knife through his hand, and Mike in his desperation briefly starts to talk about WOE.BEGONE. He is confused and upset, as he thought that he had to have won WOE.BEGONE. Before he says much, he realizes that the men have disappeared, and receives an angry text message from WOE.BEGONE telling him that he didn't know anything important, and that the men weren't from O.V.E.R.

Mike reflects on all his injuries and how unlike Ryan's WOE.BEGONE, the new gamerunners don't get rid of his injuries; they stack on top of each other. Mike decides that the potential of winning WOE.BEGONE is no longer woth it, and says that he quits.
