Basket logs in with the camera already rolling, because another player asked for the recording to start right at login. Something is waiting near spawn, maybe a build, maybe a prank. The trip there runs through the finished subway: stone brick tunnels with powered rails that merge at a junction, where a few buttons pick the direction.
A desert on the plot
Basket's city plot by the lake is not grass anymore. It is sand, cactus and a stepped sandstone temple, "right where I was gonna build a tower." Basket's old signs still stand. There is a new mailbox too, a chest holding a slip of paper named "64 Iron=64 Gold Coupon @D^3."
The book
Inside the temple, a T of soul sand holds a book in an item frame, labeled "To Basket." The page reads: "Dearest Basket, Please accept this monument as a token of your pretigious builds and handywork on the server! I look forward to working with you more in the future! Love, Sayulily."
Basket finds it "kind of scary" that the book sits on what looks like the start of a wither, and decides summoning one in town would not be a good idea.
Gold underneath
Desert temples usually have "secretive secrets underneath," Basket says, and digs down. Below sits a stepped pile of gold blocks and a sign: "Enjoy the gold! Love, Sayu!" Basket calls it "my own little beacon, minus the beacon part." The beacon itself needs wither skulls, and Basket has tried for a while without getting any.
The Nether breaks through
On the way to the dirt shop, night falls and Basket spots spires of burning netherrack across the lake. The spawn portal used to sit in the middle of town, and Basket guesses it has moved here. A path leads up into a stone brick hall with the portal at the back. "It's like the Nether and the Nether fortress has broken through." Basket steps through for a quick look at the other side and comes straight back.
Back at the dirt shop
The last stop is the dirt shop, its sign reading "D^3 Dustless Dirt Department," a joint project with another player. Its chests are stacked with dirt. Basket says the desert look might stay on the plot.
The episode ends at night outside the dirt shop. Basket's character stands in the doorway under the glowstone, and the end card runs to the last frame. The gold under the temple is still waiting on a beacon.
