This transmission opens with the Anchor explaining that TERI is the “Terrestrially Engineered Rhizomatic Intelligence”: the “AI that runs this Terrarium.” We also discover that, while 24 hours go by in 2019, the Anchor only experiences a loss of 10 seconds between broadcasts.
Viewers prompt the Anchor to check the chest behind him; he explains that a code is required to unlock it, at which point viewers suggest he try the code from the pillow: 07-15-19. This opens the chest, revealing a pair of scissors and four locked bags. The first lock requires a four-number code, the second lock is a four-letter code, the third a five-letter code, and the fourth a three-number code. The Anchor asks TERI if it has made this puzzle and assembled the bags.
After a few unsuccessful attempts to open the bags (a guessed code and a scissor attack), the Anchor notices the five-minute timer counting down at the bottom of the screen. He then decides to cut through the fabric of the pillow along the X, revealing four CD cases. He prompts TERI to scan the covers of all four albums, asking for help once more before the broadcast cuts.
Following the broadcast, participants discover the titles of the albums, in order: “Rocks the Blues” by Ike Turner, “Armchair Apocrypha” by Andrew Bird, “Lungs” by Florence and the Machine, and “Katrina and the Waves” by Katrina and the Waves. However, they do not solve the puzzle associated with those albums.
