Chapter Text
(Synopsis)
The show opens with a rendition of Build Our Machine, sung by Bendy, Boris, and Alice (Build Our Machine). Joey and Henry argue about the former’s philosophy on dreams and belief, which results in Henry quitting. (A Man of Ideas) One week later, Alice Angel is introduced into the show, with Susie successfully auditioning for the role. (Angel of the Stage) As time goes on, she and Sammy develop feelings for each other, though neither is willing to speak up out of fear of rejection. (The Lighter Side Of Hell)
One night, Joey decides the time has come to bring forth his magnum opus. He calls forth the demon Morgenstern, who gives Joey the Ink Machine, which allows him to bring the Toons to life. Morgenstern informs Joey that in exchange, his soul and the souls of his staff will be collected upon the studio’s closing. (The Summoning) Determined to save as many of his employees as he can, Joey starts making changes intended to get them to quit, such as having Allison take Susie’s place as Alice Angel’s voice actress. Susie is heartbroken, and locks herself in her sanctuary (the Angel Path Room), only for Sammy to find and console her. (My Angel)
Meanwhile, the Ink Machine causes numerous problems. Several of the employees begin to act strangely, including Aaron, the band conductor. Wally and Thomas discuss the disappearance of Norman—unaware he was turned into the Projectionist by Morgenstern after being caught snooping—and how things seem to be headed downhill fast. Shawn and Lacie reveal that several toy department staff and some of Bertrum’s employees have vanished as well. Realizing that no good will come of remaining at JDS, and having enough of Joey Drew, Sammy, Susie, Thomas, Allison, Shawn, Lacie, and Wally quit, leaving the studio behind for good. (We’re Outta Here)
Things continue to get worse, and Grant considers quitting, certain that the end is in sight. He tells Joey that the studio won’t be operating much longer, warning him that their finances are quickly running out. (Close Up Shop) Finally, Joey Drew Studios can no longer stay afloat, and Morgenstern claims the souls of everyone still working there, turning them into horrific monsters and causing most of them to lose their minds as Joey watches helplessly. The next day, the headlines report that the studio is out of business and that Joey and his staff have disappeared. (I Always Get My Due)
