The episode opens with the same five team cards and the "GopherCraft UHC 7 Amplified" title, with no episode number. Then it is straight back to the cave where Episode 1 ended, with Basket, pulse2010 and FriarNurgle of Team Tang underground and a skeleton somewhere close.
The wrong blocks
The skeleton finds Basket first. Basket tries to wall up, but the hotbar holds crafting tables instead of blocks, and placing one keeps opening it instead. "I had four crafting benches in my bar, so I was trying to use those to block myself in," Basket explains afterward. "Instead of just killing him, I was worried about trying to finish off my shelter." The skeleton dies, but the hearts on screen drop from nine and a half to three and a half. With no natural healing in UHC, they stay there for the rest of the episode.
Iron for everyone
The team has been collecting iron, and it all goes into the furnaces. "There it is, 20 iron." Basket crafts the chestplates first, then leggings and helmets, while the others feed in more ore. By about six minutes in, Basket's armor slots show a full iron set. "We have full sets now." The spare iron goes into picks and buckets.
Chat is busy in the meantime. Th3pooka earns the DIAMONDS! achievement, then Diamonds to you!, and momofminers answers with "noooo" and "we're dead."
Following the sound
The team splits up to explore and then has to find each other again. Someone hears a sound off in the rock, and they dig toward it. "I'm totally not branch mining, I'm totally trying to find that sound." They meet up near a pocket of gold, a creeper and a skeleton, with lava close by. Water runs down onto the lava in one spot, and someone blocks the skeleton off and builds "a pathway around the lava."
Gold and lag
The gold sits under a ravine full of mobs, the "creeper party." Then the game starts to lag. In chat, momofminers writes "not the nether? aaahhh," and the guess on voice is that another team just went to the Nether. The team talks about pouring a bucket of lava down on the mobs, closes the tunnel for now, and counts six gold. Then come iron swords. "Oh, pulse. There is your iron sword."
A farm with no sky
Someone spots "an automated cobblestone generator," so cobblestone is no longer a problem. The caves are running out, and the ravine above is "pretty nasty," so the team digs out a bigger room and raises the roof. Wood is short too, so saplings go into the floor in a row, with bone meal to speed them up. The digging reaches bedrock along the way.
Near the end, the server posts "40 Minutes" and lists all fifteen players as still in the match, Team Tang among them. "Hey, end of the day, how exciting. We're growing trees underground." The episode ends with Basket alive in the cave with the team, still on three and a half hearts.
