Davo reveals the 'only' theme from patron Easy Mode Barry, promising trivia about unique things.

The episode begins with host Davo introducing the theme 'only', submitted by patron Easy Mode Barry, and the guests: Kelz, Andy, Twi, and Neil. Category one, science, includes questions about a rare solid-colored giraffe, the human pelvis, seahorses, and king cobras. Category two, music, features songs with 'only' in the title by artists like The Platters and Rihanna. Category three, history, covers topics such as U.S. presidents without slave-owning ancestors, Tycho Brahe, and Linus Pauling. Category four, places, asks about states with no natural lakes and cities hosting the Olympics multiple times. Category five, sports, includes questions about Fernando Tatis, NFL longevity, and undefeated soccer teams. Category six, entertainment, involves TV shows ending at the top of ratings and actors playing multiple roles. The sudden death round includes questions about South American countries, superhero actors, and Oscar-winning horror movies, with a disputed question leading to Twy's reinstatement. Twy wins with 191 points, and the episode concludes with humorous sign-offs and promotions.
