Episodes 1 - 4 take place on the First Floor, with the finale debuting just as the level collapses. Individual crawlers can only be viewed by the press for the duration of this floor.
15 seconds of a silent, round metal tube (this is a commercial).
A view of Earth, with three lines of text across the bottom of the screen in different languages, one line of text going up, and one line of text scrolling down the right side. In the background, mariachi music with an EDM beat swells.
10 minute discussion of human anatomy, with extra focus on testicles and ovaries.
Long shots of urban filth, shanty towns, garbage dumps, and abandoned buildings spliced with scenes from disaster movies. Images of people on drugs and hurting each other, plus scenes from serial killer and horror movies.
A CGI model of the Dungeon's first three floors, which look like an upside down tiered pyramid beneath the Earth's crust.
40 minutes of crawlers entering the Dungeon (mostly in India, Africa, and South America, some in massive groups) and dying to mobs, including: spine-covered wolves, shapeless fire blobs, and floating stingrays that shoot Magic Missiles from their eye stalks.
A man with a broadsword cutting through a group of floating eyeballs.
10 people armed with shotguns and bows defeat the first Borough Boss of the Dungeon, "a nightmare pile of mouths and eyeballs and flesh." They received magic tomes and enchanted ranged weapons in their Silver Boss Boxes and Platinum Weapon Boxes.
Stay tuned for a rundown of the season's rules and surprises![1]

Opens with a close-up of Jack's genitalia and a headline exclaiming, "Trapped! Meadow Lark and the Royal Court of Princess Donut in Peril!"

A montage of crawlers surprised when bosses exit the Boss Chambers.
Hekla now boasts a glittering breastplate, and Brynhild's Daughters is growing. The announcer gives a short history of Iceland.

Time to Level Collapse: 7d 18h “Special Edition! See what your favorite crawlers chose as their race!”
At the time of the episode, a few groups are still making selections but ~ 80% of crawlers have opted to remain Human.
Recap of the end of the Second Floor: a demon-like City Boss with crab pincers ripped through forty crawlers.
Hekla is the first character shown getting upgraded. She enters her Tutorial Guild Hall alone; when she comes out, viewers see a spinning 3D model of her new character. Her stats are not displayed, but a scrolling paragraph of text explains her new class (too quickly for crawlers to read).
A few crawlers Carl doesn't recognize but who chose odd races or classes, including:
A man who transformed into a slug.
A woman who looks like a four-armed, blue-skinned replica of Hindu goddess Kali, and chose the Kabaddi Raider class.
A brief history of Primals, and a shot of a human crawler who had chosen the race many seasons ago (before Mordecai's time). He flies through the air on white angel wings, wielding a massive lightning sword, toward a Divine Guardian standing knee-deep in a lake of fire. Mordecai explains that this took place on the Twelfth Floor and the crawler died a minute later; he tells Carl to ask Odette about him. No such explanation is given for viewers.
Miriam Dom is shown with Bianca, now a horse-sized Hellspawn Familiar, and Prepotente, who now walks on two legs, wears a set of armor, wields a double-headed axe, and "occasionally screamed for no reason." Bianca tramples a group of hyena-faced creatures to death.
