Virtual Green brings back both veteran and new contestants from their respective dimensions for a third season. They are teleported into the waiting room where Virtual Red greets them in a manner less cordial than one might expect.

Virtual Green informs the contestants that Harry has hidden nine emeralds underground. The teams then venture underground to retrieve the emeralds.

The contestants engage in a culinary competition, with their dishes evaluated by the innocent host Virtual Green, the indifferent host Virtual Red, the enchanting co-host Harry, and the contestant-turned-judge, scientist Ford. Peni, Loren, and Tord stumble upon something unusual, while Arctic and Madison connect over a dish they've created. Meanwhile, Virtual Red loses composure over a dish presented by one of the contestants.

Virtual Green announces that one representative from each team will compete in a race to reach the sand area.
