Opening

Brandon and crew were still bringing people into the safe room as the next episode premier

Summary

The first floor collapses while Carl is pushing Elle McGibbons, who asks for Divorce Court, into the shelter; 700,000 people die in that second. Six days on the timer instead of ten. Twenty-four residents stayed in the Waffle House, singing. The recap shows fifteen seconds of the Ball of Swine, ends on Imani and the strap-on, and omits Agatha's face; Chris, speaking for the second time, notices she was edited out.

Borant's announcement: patronage rebuilt as an auction, three patrons per crawler, and a new penalty for urinating in the hallways — a Rage Elemental from the thirteenth floor. Brandon says to tell Jack; Yolanda goes pale and offers adult pads. Donut gets her first follower and starts acting casual for the camera.
