Synopsis

Plot
Spoilers Below!
The episode opens with a loading screen, and text on screen from the player reading:
"Hey guys! Today I wanted to show a very weird secret ending I found in one of those old Lacey flash games O_O;; I found it in an flash archive site and felt nostalgic because I played sooo many Lacey games in my childhood but"
The Lacey's Diner title screen appears, and the music starts. The player's text then says: "I ended up coming across an ending I had never seen and... well... You'll see. Let's start."
It cuts to the instruction page, then the game starts with Lacey in front of a counter with ingredients and a timer going down. The player points out how the timer has more than enough time for a kid to be able to easily win the game. The player skips ahead until the time is almost out, to show what happens. As the timer gets down to 10 seconds left, the game glitches, and the graphics become hyper-saturated while the bottom of the screen reads "hurry up". The player ends up completing the dish just in time. In the next stage of the game, you serve the dish -- this time, stroganoff with baked rice -- to the customers. The player explains how this is the normal course the game follows.
The player explains how the next three days are the same with different recipes, and then says they're skipping to the ending so they can show the alternative route. The normal ending card reads: "You did it! Lacey's diner is the best one in the world!"
The player jumps to the first day again, saying they're actually going to let the timer run out fully. The same thing happens with the countdown from 10, but when the timer hits 0, the game cuts to black and a screamer jumps on screen, containing a distorted Lacey. She is standing in a dirty kitchen, her face bloody and her forearms covered in cuts, an image of a knife is in the corner, and the image is dated at 06/29/2006. The text reads: "Stupid useless / slow / fuck / failure." It cuts to where the customers should be, only reading: "You took too long - the customers left!" A sad normal Lacey appears on screen, reading: "Oh no! You ran out of time and your customers went somewhere else to eat! But do not fret - there is always tomorrow!"
The scene cuts to a photo of the outside of Lacey's Diner. Text from Lacey reads: "This is all I have and the customers are hungry and unforgiving." The scene cuts to a darker side street, and reads: "If I fail I see no other option. Other than." It cuts to a house, and as the sound starts to distort, the phrase "kill myself" appears on screen.
Over a black screen, the player's text reads: "Yeah... This is not for kids. What the fuck! I'm skipping to the second day. It just gets worse from here." Once the player skips to the timer almost running out on the second day, Lacey disappears once there is 5 seconds left. Briefly, a creepy version of Lacey appears before the screen cuts. A further distorted Lacey face appears with failure written all over it. Two scenes briefly flash on screen, which can be decoded in the transcriptions. The same time's up screen starts to play, before Lacey interrupts.
"Why can't these fucking bastards just wait 3 minutes for their fucking food? I'm trying my hardest and yet I'm almost running out of money to survive. This isn't fair. It isn't fair at all. It isn't fair. I hate all of them. I hate them. I hate them." The creepy Lacey appears as the colours invert. Her face replaces the screen as the text reads: "Tomorrow I'm going to give them something to eat alright. THEY'LL FACE WHAT THEY DID TO ME."
The creepy Lacey appears in front of a table of "ingredients". As the player adds each one to the bowl, an illegible image flashes on screen, which can be read in transcriptions. The ingredients are as follows: cigarette butts, dead cockroach, pornography, meth, used condom, broken glass, and a man's face only titled "un". Once the face is put in the bowl, a man looks at the screen. From the transcriptions, this is found to be Lacey's Uncle.
The dish Lacey makes is titled "censored for public health concerns", and the serving part of the game glitches out. The customers are replaced with rotting versions of themselves while a slurping noise plays in the background.
The scene cuts to a sign reading "establishment closed due to sanitary violations". Lacey is seen outside her diner, smoking, looking disheveled. The text by her reads: "This is it then." Lacey is then seen dead in the side street, her corpse being censored. Text on screen labels this the bad end, and a quick image flashes on screen of a person being wired to a computer.
The title screen comes back on, and the player gives a few more words: "So yeah... WHAT THE FUCK. I think these Lacey games might not be as innocent as they seem D: This is like... traumatizing for any kid that might have seen it. If anyone can find more of them in archive sites let me know, because it was hard. Most of em are lost. Cya!"
In the last frame of the episode, the person attached to the computer appears again, with text reading: "I'm in heaven."
