Remainder

"Remainder" is the first episode of the first season of Split Object Comic, and is the first episode of the series overall.

Opener
The episode starts with Punctuation and Dice hanging out together. Dice asks Puncty to climb the Cell Phone tower standing next to them, and Puncty agrees. However Punct slips and falls on the way up. Radwaste and Plasma Ball see them drop on the ground, and Radwaste starts panicking and asks Plasma Ball to go get Soc. Plasma Ball doesn't like all the noise Radwaste is making though, and opts to walk the other way. However, Soc hears Radwaste's panicking and comes over anyways. Plasma Ball walks by Strawberry Soda and Easel, who are arguing over whether Easel can be considered the authority on art or not. Phoney, who was watching the argument unfold, suggests that they both draw something and whoever wins is right. Strawberry draws a self portrait, and Easel draws an abstract landscape. Phoney pick's Soda's drawing over Easel. From off the screen, Dice triumphantly yells that they "did it!" In the next panel we find out xe made it to the top of the cell phone tower, however Puncty is still knocked out on the ground. Radwaste points this out angrily, and Soc explains that it's not going to fix anything. App Store overhears that someone is knocked out and says they can help. She downloads the app "Water Bucket", which gives her a bucket of water, and pours it on Punctuation. Puncty thanks App Store and runs off.

On the way, they trip over Diode, who is lamenting about being stuck in the time period that this takes place in, because it is different to the one they know. After being knocked over Diode sighs, but doesn't try to get back up. Deck and Backwards Hat walk past, having a conversation. Deck is talking about the dangers of climbing cell phone towers and how you totally shouldn't do it, unless you're him, of course. Character asks if BH can do that, to which BH replies that he can't, but it's lame anyways. Character goes to tell this to Rusty Pipe, who is pointing at Dice at the top of the tower (as Zeppy points out). Pretzel bets that Dice will fall, and Character looks worried at this assumption. However, it happens anyways, as Dice gets bored and decides to jump down. Paintpop asks Zeppy why she's just hanging out in the sky if she's super fragile, and Zeppy tries to tell Paintpop not to worry. However Dice collides with Zeppy on his way down and Zeppy explodes, killing both of them.

But miraculously both of them appear alive again, thanks to the Narrator, who wanted everyone gathered to ask them to join Narraty's competition, one to win the power of narration. Everyone accepts, and Narrator splits everyone into teams. Paintpop complains that she's on a team of one, and names her team. All the other teams are named and Narrator explains the contest. It is to get your team's flag to the top of the flag pole.

Challenge
Paintpop finds the Best Places' flag first and Strawberry Soda fights her for it, tearing the flag in half. Narrator says they'll have to fix that to be safe. Paintpop lands on the ground next to her own flag. Off-screen, Diode finds Team #5's flag and asks Zeppy if she can fly it up there. Zeppy explains that she doesnt have arms so she can't carry it, but is interrupted by Plasma Ball taking the flag and hopping on top of Zeppy, motioning for her to fly PB up. Paintpop is complaining about her stupid one person team when Zeppy asks if she needs any help getting up. Paintpop seems extremely confused but agrees to it.

Deck finds HPYT's flag and points out that it's on the cell phone tower. Dice says that she'll go get it even though Soc complains and they both climb the tower, Soc chasing after Dice to get them down. Meanwhile, Phoney assigns jobs to the Best Place-ers, telling Radwaste to fix the flag and App Store to make a way up there. When Soda asks what to do, Phoney tells her to not break anything else. On team Friendzone, Character finds the team flag and Easel comes up with a plan. She tells Pretzel to stand on top of Punctuation with the flag. Then, they compliment Puncty, causing them to turn into an explanation point out of surprise. Pretzel is shot up through the air and lands on the flag pole, making them the first team to finish.

Radwaste panics about fixing her teams flag, and Team Uhhhh and Team #5 both make it safe. Soc and Dice are both shown to be on the second level of the cell phone tower, and Dice tells Soc about her plan. Radwaste runs back over to the best places, carrying Easel as the replacement flag. App Store finishes downloading the 'Stairs' app and Radwaste quickly starts running up them. Meanwhile Dice and Soc carry out Dice's plan, which is to throw them to one of the flag poles. Dice collides with Radwaste, knocking them down, and quickly gets to the flag pole, leaving the Best Places up for elimination.
