The selected episode of the series begins with the title card displaying a momentary spooky transformation, with the text turning black, the sky turning red, and an ominous piano piece playing, before returning to normal. The narrator informs the viewers that Poochee and Pansy have reached Sufferdark to confront the witch, while a Huntmaster cartoon briefly appears in the background with visual distortion. In the witch's lair, Poochee searches for Pansy, who is hanging in a cage over a vat of green liquid. The witch offers a deal: she will release Pansy if Poochee lets her take his eyes. Despite Pansy's disapproval, Poochee agrees, as he can't think of any other way to rescue her. As the witch's hand inches closer to Poochee's face, the video cuts to footage of a fan running, a close-up of the witch, a phone off its hook beeping, and a doll's face with one eye bulging and a girl crying. The video concludes with a sinister title background and the message: "You are alone but you do not know it."

The narrator informs the viewers that Poochee and Pansy have reached Sufferdark to confront the witch while a 2D Huntmaster briefly appears in the background with visual distortion. In the witch's lair, Poochee searches for Pansy, who is hanging in a cage over a vat of green liquid. The witch offers a deal: she will release Pansy if Poochee lets her take his eyes. Despite Pansy's disapproval, Poochee agrees, as he can't think of any other way to rescue her.

The video concludes with a sinister title background and the message: "You are alone but you do not know it."


A remastered version of the episode was released in 2022, in which the witch's appearance was redesigned to resemble [[wikipedia:Tales_from_the_Crypt_(comics)#The_Crypt-Keeper|The Cryptkeeper]]. When the witch's hand approaches Poochee's face, Pansy screams "No!" and the video cuts to black with a squishing noise. When the video resumes, Poochee screams in pain as the witch takes his right eye, while Pansy's cries create a soundwave that intensifies in volume and surrounds the cage. The episode ends at this point.

The episode begins with a Japanese title card (which translates to "The Witch's Eye"), with English subtitles appearing shortly after. The title card is distorted several times, creating a creepy atmosphere. The Japanese narrator informs the viewer that Poochee and Pansy have already defeated the witch and are on a mission to save a kitten, but two flashes of the eyeless witch with a scream in the background hint at the dark turn the episode takes. Poochee and Pansy are seen standing in front of a locked door, which Poochee claims is where the kitten is being held. He reveals that he's wearing the witch's eye over his own, which allows him to see through the door. However, the shot of the door distorts, and the text "Cannot hide" briefly appears, foreshadowing the disturbing events to follow. The video then cuts to footage of icicles, accompanied by a low-pitched beeping sound, followed by a shot of someone walking in the snow. They discover the text "Find You" written in the snow, which transforms into a white animated picture slowly turning red. The image then returns to live-action, and we see The Huntmaster reaching for the screen, followed by a close-up of the icicles. On a black background, red text appears, reading "Everyone in your world is dead but you. Only you exist." The video ends with a flash of the white text "FIND YOU."

A remastered version of the episode was released in 2024, in which Pansy's soundwaves freezes the witch to allow Poochee to attack her. The witch loses an eye that slithers its way into the empty socket of Poochee. The episode ends with Poochee and Pansy standing in front of the locked door as before.

The video begins with The Huntmaster addressing the viewer, warning them that they "cannot hide." After a glitchy title screen, a series of unsettling images are shown, including a cowering man, a gray dog with sharp teeth and black eyes and footage of the house from a previous episode. The episode title is obscured by a black censor panel. More disturbing images follow, including the previous images from the beginning, [[Smile Dog]], two images of Binzo Tsujii (the second one is of a close-up of Binzo's face in a prison cell), an eyeless Poochee, the witch, and the eyeless witch from the previous episode. The Huntmaster reappears, and his body flails wildly accompanied by loud distortion noises. The episode proper begins with two yellow eyes in a dark doorway, which Poochee identifies as the kitten they have been searching for. The animals stare at each other for an extended period before the scene cuts to a montage of random and unsettling clips, including an evil Poochee, the skull screamer, all the screamer images, and footage from the Disney short [[wikipedia:The_Story_of_Menstruation|''The Story of Menstruation'']]. The title screen appears again, featuring a stylized "G." The "Menstruation" footage returns, with the girl's reflection coming to life and smiling at the screen. The scene zooms in on the reflection as the girl's smile becomes more menacing, and a loud roar is heard. The scene then cuts to inside the house, where the message "All dead" is written in blood red on the wall near some pictures. We then see someone walking in the woods and entering an area with many tree stumps, which is compared to a cartoon forest drawing. Poochee warns the viewer that what is on TV is real, and everything else is make-believe. The "Menstruation" girl's face appears again with a loud scream from the first episode, followed by the full version of the first line: "You cannot hide from the truth." The video ends with the stylized "G" from earlier appearing once more.

In this episode, the spotlight is on a spine-tingling chapter of an alternate reality game that revolves around the enigmatic creature, Gangadiddle. The video starts with eerie audio and visuals of a swaying object before the title emerges with glitches and distorted narration and music. Although the episode's heading is partly hidden, eagle-eyed viewers can make out "Gangadiddle", the name of the creature. The episode proceeds with Poochee, Pansy, and the kitten at their home, where Poochee reads a scroll that appears suddenly. However, before he can identify the sender, the footage shifts to an illustration of the creature, which promptly distorts. Next, a live-action figure of the Gangadiddle appears on a table, followed by a jack-in-the-box with a panda's face that plays "Brahms Lullaby" and then emits a scream. The house is also scanned, and during this sequence, shots of the skull screamer and the doll from previous episodes are shown. The Huntmaster emerges on the screen, extending his hand towards the viewer, followed by a montage of disturbing clips from past episodes. The video concludes with the message, "You must find it to become free!" The suspenseful and enigmatic ambiance of this episode, as well as its connection to the larger ARG, distinguishes it as a noteworthy installment in the series.

The video opens with the Dolst Family Entertainment logo and a message from the characters Poochee, Pansy, and the witch, reassuring viewers that what is shown on TV is not real and that they should not be afraid. However, the video then distorts and the characters transform into sinister forms: Poochee and Pansy become demon dogs, while the witch becomes The Huntmaster. The viewer is then bombarded with a series of bizarre images, including the doll head, the witch, the text "You are alone," birds flying by cars, the skull screamer, the house footage tinted red, and the repeated phrase "Trying to reach you." A voice is heard reciting a quote from the classic horror film Night of the Living Dead, describing a mass extinction event in Earth's history and murder victims being devoured by their killers. The video then cuts to footage of someone walking through a hospital hallway, with the title screen appearing just as the person reaches the doors. The "All dead" text flashes briefly before the video abruptly ends, leaving the viewer with a sense of unease and uncertainty.

*In the second episode remaster, Freddy the Firefly's design seems to be inspired by [https://donthugme.fandom.com/wiki/Shrignold Shrignold] from ''[[wikipedia:Don't_Hug_Me_I'm_Scared|Don't Hug Me I'm Scared]]''. In fact, both of them are horror web-series that disguise as children's shows.
*Aside from being influenced by both Regan MacNeil and Jeff the Killer, the witch's face also took inspiration from most of the images used in the series' disturbing imagery, including Binzo Tsujii (by the mouth and eyes), the gray dog image (by the teeth), Smile Dog (by the mouth shape), and the edited "Menstruation" girl image (by the eyes, eyebrows and skin color).
*In the episode's title card in the sixth episode, the text was blurred out except for the: "Message from the" part. If the video was immediately paused at the right time before the text was blurred out, the text was revealed to be "Ganggadiddle". The word itself leads to a [[YouTube]] channel called "gangadiddle".
