Þe Olde Marker

 is the 12th episode of Find the Markers: The Series. It was released on July 24, 2022.

Plot/Summary
Yellow Marker makes Þe Olde Shope Purple Marker-themed after a critic reviews Purple Marker's work.

Synopsis
One day at Þe Olde Shope, Green Marker notices that Purple Marker is not filling orders, so he goes to investigate with Yellow Marker in the beginning of the episode. Yellow Marker discovers that Purple Marker has the "1,000-yard stare" before asking him what the problem is. They then discover a mini-calendar in his hat that has the current date circled, and it said "Important food critic visits Þe Olde Shope." Green Marker remarks only a moron would worry about that, in which both Yellow Marker and Purple Marker are both in shock. Green Marker states his point was proven and leaves.

Soon, Vitellary Marker (the food critic) walks through the doors. As he is having his first glimpse of the restaurant, Green Marker rudely talks to him, and nearly drives him away with other rude comments. Yellow Marker stops him and Purple Marker serves him a malding gummy. Vitellary Marker then takes a bite and leaves the restaurant, causing Yellow Marker to lose hope.

Purple Marker, Yellow Marker, and Green Marker watch as Vitellary Marker gives his review on Þe Olde Shope, only to soil it. He says that Þe Olde Shope smells "like the rear end of a goat" and that "you could find livelier help in a graveyard." The customers hear the review and begin to leave in displeasure. However, an excited Vitellary Marker says that Þe Olde Shope is a big success because of the malding gummy he had and Purple Marker is no square when it comes to cooking, ending with a good review. The customers come back pleased and prepared to eat. With things okay, Purple Marker is relieved and goes to cook while Yellow Marker gets a money-making idea.

The next day, Purple Marker goes to work and sees a new sign at Þe Olde Shope, reading "Þe Olde Marker." He also sees a long line and Green Marker in a Purple Marker costume as the restaurant's mascot. Purple Marker is oblivious to the costume and compliments him on his shoes, but Green Marker immediately scares him off with a hiss. Ceramic Marker the marker asks Green Marker for his autograph, but Green Marker says no because he has no use of his arms, and he accidentally slaps Ceramic Marker, disappointing Yellow Marker, especially when he wouldn't pay for an autograph. Yellow Marker then assigns Green Marker to cook while Purple Marker finds out that his new job is to run a train outside Þe Olde Shope, which Yellow Marker charges customers to ride.

Yellow Marker has Green Marker cook and bathes in his money before Green Marker tells him of a delivery man here to see him. It is shown he has continued to order more Purple Marker-related items such as drinking straws, coasters, bibs, ice cubes, and other things as Green Marker questions if he is going too far. Yellow Marker insists Green Marker while showing clear signs of delusion, and later has Green Marker (who has managed to cook) serve the new purplish markers, which are actually tainted malding gummies that look like Purple Marker since they couldn't fit in the fridge with the ice cubes. When Green Marker questions him on serving rotten meat, Yellow Marker at first seems to realize his point before he doubles the price for them.

When Purple Marker is out of energy from driving the train, he stops pedaling, but his passengers do not care in the slightest at how obviously exhausted he is and believe that he is an impersonator of Purple Marker. They soon threaten to riot if not given a ride. Using this distraction, Purple Marker manages to slip away after putting his statue in his place. He enters Þe Olde Shope and discovers Yellow Marker had gotten all kinds of new products customized to look like Purple Marker.

He also discovers that the new purplish markers are making people sick by turning them purple (resembling Purple Marker) and giving them terrible stomach pains. Purple Marker gets Yellow Marker to come out and when he sees the customers, he thinks he is invaded by zombies who want to eat his money and tries to protect his fortune. However, Purple Marker stops him and explains they are actually his customers who ate the purplish markers. A customer eats his sick friend's patty and is disgusted. He confronts Yellow Marker over it and the latter meekly explains it's a purplish marker before the customer gets sick as well. A distraught Purple Marker tells Yellow Marker that he has poisoned all of his customers with the rotten patties. Yellow Marker is shocked and guilty as he realizes what he has done. Before he can fix his mistake, he is immediately arrested by the angry customer who is actually a cop.

In court, Yellow Marker feels remorseful and guilty about his actions. The jury, headed by Vitellary Marker, finds him guilty, and Yellow Marker accepts the charges. Just as Yellow Marker is about to go to prison, he realizes the Judge has a Purple Marker gavel, and he turns out to be a huge Purple Marker fan. Yellow Marker makes a deal with the judge that Purple Marker goes back to cooking while Green Marker has to ride the Judge around on Þe Olde Marker Fun Train for the rest of the day if Yellow Marker does not want to go to prison. Green Marker depressingly drives the Judge around, and Þe Olde Shope returns to normal, as the episode ends.
