Original release date
February 7, 2020 (2020-02-07)
Pootie Shoe draws attention to the Masked Man, a non-player character with a hidden identity. Ian has claimed since its release that there is a backstory behind the character but reveals that he is still trying to create it. Brad attempts to use the Masked Man to introduce an in-game casino concept to increase profits, but Poppy immediately insults him and tells him that he is not an important member of the team. Brad revolts by leaving the office and makes all in-game items free for purchase. David and Poppy admit they need Brad, as monetizing the game is the only way to support it. Ian and CW decide to create a second character, The White Knight, who is the Masked Man's son. Despite the similarities to the plot of Star Wars, the team decides to proceed with this plot line.

December 16, 2022 (2022-12-16)
In 1987, Ian is a young boy who'd rather spend his time inventing a new world, named Sarian than do his actual school assignments. His divorced mother supports him in this while exhibiting signs of bipolar disorder. After he mentions to his principal that his mother is having a "bed day", his father is notified and takes Ian into his custody. In 2001, Poppy is a young girl obsessed with playing video games and frustrated at a lack of Internet access. Her Filipino father convinces her to treat an upcoming piano recital like a final boss in a video game, and she then requests a bicycle as her reward. Upon getting the bicycle, she immediately goes to the library and accesses the Internet, where she gets access to a trove of user-created games, including one called Sarian. In 2009, Poppy is in a class at MIT on video game design listening to Ian talk about creating video games. When she mentions that playing Sarian inspired her to write her own games, he starts telling her about a new idea he's had for an MMORPG, which he's calling "Grimquest".

Dana has been working on the top game on Playpen and David, who has grown his hair out, is too preoccupied with her to care about Ian and Poppy's pitch.

Rachel and Dana talk about boundaries they should set in place, now that they work on opposite sides of the company (Rachel being management and Dana being creative). After Poppy leaves for a date at Storm's art show, David attempts to help Ian and Poppy patch the rift in their relationship by tricking Ian into going to the art show as well.

Through Brad's narration, we learn that Dana has been working on a new game as a way to get back at Yara, but in order for this game to belong to her, Brad needs to get her out of her contract. Brad forms a plan to get David to void it, by mousing his way into David's home poker games, which he hosts for his friends (a group of Republican first-responders). In order to get Ian, an essential part of his plan, away from Poppy, he tells Jo to host a baby shower for her. David makes the mistake of inviting Poppy's sister, Tracy, to the baby shower as well.

"Boundaries"
Todd Biermann
Megan Ganz & David Hornsby
January 29, 2025 (2025-01-29)
Ian wakes up in the middle of the night, having been inspired to make a new expansion, called Elysium. He goes to Poppy's house, tells her the idea, and is promptly kicked out, before Poppy heads back to bed with her new boyfriend, Storm. Dana has been working on the top game on Playpen and David, who has grown his hair out, is too preoccupied with her to care about Ian and Poppy's pitch. Dana doesn't care about the trophy David wanted to give her, instead asking Brad to get her out of her contract to MQ, as it was stopping her from profiting off of her Playpen game. Rachel and Dana talk about boundaries they should set in place, now that they work on opposite sides of the company (Rachel being management and Dana being creative). After Poppy leaves for a date at Storm's art show, David attempts to help Ian and Poppy patch the rift in their relationship by tricking Ian into going to the art show as well.

Sue and her sister inform David that players on Playpen have been creating sex games. In order to solve this, he organizes a second ethics committee meeting to figure out how to train AI moderation to automatically ban these games. Brad proposes "Playpennies" (a concept similar to the "Robux" in Roblox) as an in-game currency so that Dana can receive a form of compensation for her game. Poppy has created AI versions of herself and Ian, proposing that they work with themselves to see how difficult they can both be.
