Ep 7. Escape to the Mountain

In this episode of Doomsday Castle, titled "Escape to the Mountain," the castle inhabitants continue to prepare for potential disaster scenarios. The family patriarch, Brent Sr., has concocted a plan to evacuate the castle and retreat to a nearby mountain in the event of an attack. The family puts this plan into action, gathering supplies and setting up a basecamp in the mountains.

Meanwhile, the other family members focus on improving the castle's defenses. Brent Sr. and Brent II work on a catapult to launch rocks at potential intruders, while Michael installs a drawbridge to replace the old wooden gate. The family also fortifies their living quarters, adding steel bars to windows and thickening the castle walls with sandbags.

As they work, tensions rise between family members. Brent III thinks that the preparations are too extreme, arguing that the family should focus on living in the present rather than worrying about the future. He clashes with his father over the usefulness of the catapult, which he sees as a waste of time and energy.

Despite these disagreements, the family manages to complete their preparations. They make their way to the mountain and set up camp, testing out their newly-made shelter and practicing their survival skills. They also discuss a plan for communicating with one another in the event of an attack, deciding on a series of code words to use over their walkie-talkies.

While on the mountain, Brent Sr. takes the opportunity to teach his grandchildren various survival techniques. He teaches them how to start a fire, how to filter water, and how to forage for wild plants. He also passes on his knowledge of archery, which he believes will be an essential skill in a post-apocalyptic world.

Despite some mishaps and setbacks, the family successfully completes their stay on the mountain. They return to the castle with a newfound sense of confidence and preparedness, ready to face whatever disaster may come their way.

This episode of Doomsday Castle highlights the importance of being prepared for the worst. While some may see the family's precautions as extreme, they believe that it is better to be safe than sorry. Through hard work and perseverance, they are able to create a safe haven for themselves and their loved ones.
