Plot[]
During a pitch meeting where Caine expresses making another sequel to Wacky World, Freddy, afraid of the risk of spending more budgets on music videos, decides to go back on shorts despite a few protests & objections. Immediately, they are informed by a future version of Freddy that the universe is in danger of collapsing due to multiple IPs existing in the same universe, saying they need to be sent back to their home worlds. He kills the Digital Circus crew, reassuring the Fazbear & Friends gang that the non-FNaF IPs dying in this universe has them respawn in their normal ones. Freddy & the crew agree to go along with the plan to exterminate them, with future Freddy giving them 5 nights to do so.
After a montage of the FNaF characters killing all the non-FNaF IPs, Freddy is held hostage by Bendy, Baldi, & Caine. Efforts to calm down the situation are futile as the 3 refuse to let up, so they are eventually killed. However, once they've been taken care of, the Fazbears realize how things haven't ended even with their deaths as proven by Baldi's final moments. Future Freddy reveals the gang were not sending the other IPs back to their worlds, and were in fact killing them for real. He further reveals that when Freddy decided to go back to doing shorts, in his timeline, their reputation continued to tank due to the uprise of more shorts. Having none of it, he stops by Walmart to pick up a time machine to convince his past self to kill the other IPs so they wouldn't suffer the fate he did. With his mission now complete, he now doesn't care what happens to him.
Before future Freddy could leave after subduing the gang in a beatdown, Freddy sends him back to his timeline, & sends the crew back to when he decided to do shorts again, altering the future by planting a land mine on future Freddy. To their surprise, instead of them disappearing due to messing with the timeline, their past versions do. After explaining the situation, Freddy is congratulated for learning his lesson for Caine. He then destroys future Freddy's time-travelling device as the scene then transitions to both gangs doing a stock dance animation with their default facial expressions, with it cutting to a black screen and text fading in with the following messages:
"The gang thought the story of this mass murder was so cool that they turned it into an episode. This was that episode."
"Future Freddy eventually reconciled with the Mosquito Brothers, founding a new production company: Mosquito Entertainment.", showing a picture of the Mosquito Brothers.
"Baldi was killed in a fatal accident on I-95 in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. It is the second most dangerous highway in the United States.", showing a stock image of a car on fire.
"The mantis shrimp has the most powerful punch in the animal kingdom. The force is equivalent to a 22-cailbur bullet.", showing a picture of the aforementioned animal.
There is then one last text that fades in saying "You can stop watching now.", ending the episode.
