Unofficial Synopsis[]
Blue discovers his love for Netherwart and potion-brewing, but he is not the only one who drank too many...
Plot[]
Blue is tending to his vegetable garden. He harvests his wheat, melons, beets, carrots, potatoes, Nether wart and plants them back, and even eats a carrot. Then, he becomes interested in the Nether warts; he examines it, sniffs it, tastes it, and immediately loves it. He puts some of the nether warts into a cauldron of boiling water and stirs it with a shovel, then fills a glass bottle with it. To his surprise, a line of text appears next to the bottle labeled "Awkward Potion".
Blue touches it, and the label comes back. So he picks up the glass and drinks it. When nothing happens, he grows curious and puts a brewing stand, then puts another water bottle. He places blaze powder into the brewing stand, making it a fuel source. He then puts in various items to try to make a potion, all of which get ejected, until he finally puts in magma cream, and the awkward potion brews until it becomes a fire resistance potion, which he immediately tests by lying down in the fire. It works; Blue is immune to fire. He then puts another awkward potion in, and tries many items until he puts in a rabbit's foot; a jump boost potion is brewed. Blue tests this by making high jumps around his vegetable patch. When Blue stops, he begins to start experimenting with making many more potions.
We then focus on Red, who spawns a pig, and uses a lead on it. He then follows where the pig wants to go, which leads him to where Blue had made potions. The place is covered in many potion bottles, and Blue is drunk from drinking so many. Red wakes Blue up, but while he does so, the pig drinks nearly all of the potions, much to Blue’s shock. The pig then obtains a bunch of status effects (which are what potions give) and begins to shake uncontrollably. It goes crazy and starts eating Blue's crops like a threasher. Blue and Red try and stop the pig, but it runs off and destroys the cauldron and brewing stand.
We then see Green, Yellow, and The Second Coming chilling around a campfire. The pig runs through the seats and fire, knocking Yellow and Green away. The Second Coming gets up, startled, and dodges the running pig. It turns around, and runs at The Second Coming, as he gets out his sword, and hits the pig's face. The pig shakes even more, and its stomach starts growling. It snaps and flings The Second Coming up into the air where he does crazy martial art-style kicks and punches on The Second Coming and then beating him down.
Blue steps forward with multiple potions in his hands and drinks them, ready to fight. The pig throws The Second Coming out from under him, and charges Blue, who blocks. The pig then throws Blue into the air and tries to punch and kick, but Blue blocks them, catches one of the punches, and throws the pig onto the "Files" icon. The pig then uses the icon to launch itself towards Blue. They fought some more before the Pig throws him against the wall, and begins to hit Blue as he ricochets off the wall.
Red, Green, Yellow, and The Second Coming all come with potions and begin to fight the pig. They throw the pig into the air, and kick him up until The Second Coming grabs the pig in midair, spins him around, and throws him down. The stick figures all crowd around the stunned pig, and The Second Coming gets ready to stab the pig.
Suddenly, the pig gets up, and knocks all the stick figures around again. It launches itself off the walls to keep hitting the stick figures, until it's status effects all wear off, and the pig falls to its death. All the other stick figures cheer, but Red is grief-stricken at the loss of his pet. However, as the others try to comfort him, Red quickly reconciles with the loss, then jumps up, places a llama, and raises his arms in the air. The llama then spits on him, ending the episode.

- At timestamps 0:20 and and 3:54, a melon block is shown dropping the full melon after being destroyed, rather than melon slices like in Minecraft.
- The first instance of this error is fixed in the full Season 1 release, but the second is not.
- The Insane Pig's potion effects last shorter than 3 minutes.
