Tape 7

Overview
Tape 7 - titled Go0d_B0y | Lost VHS Tape - was posted on YouTube on June 1st, 2020. The tape stars Banzo (also referred to as Stitchbuddy) as well as Martin Greywhinder exploring the capabilities of the new toy.

Summary
In this tape, Banzo is seen advertised to children as the "Stitchbuddy", a toy that can speak, laugh, sing and keep any dark secrets. Surprisingly, when mentioning about the product having a voice of its own, the text meant to display its may functions states it "cannot talk".

After the advertisement goes silent, the scene turns to black as Banzo remains still on the screen with static in the background. A half-sided zoomed in shot of Banzo's face occurs before the scene glitches out to reveal an interactive experiment involving Martin and Banzo in what seems to be his workshop (suggested by the hanging Sofia dolls above).

Martin seems to be preparing himself for his "newest improvements" involving the deformed family pet. As he commands him to stand, the toy violently jerks as one of the arms stretches out and begins to lift him from the ground. The light flickers off and - upon flickering back - reveals to both Martin and the audience the second instance of Banzo's twisted form. From the background, he is praised by Martin as another segment plays out involving more verbal experiments to test his loyalty to his owner.

In this segment - however - Martin is heard making bitter comments about a certain person of the same sex (suggested by his reference to "him" and the insult "prick"). He quickly brushes the pettiness aside and commands Banzo to speak which he does via barking. Once again, Martin praises him for his obedience but his next command is interrupted by the doorbell ringing. Frustrated yet at a loss, he requests Banzo to stay put until he returns, causing Banzo to gradually shift his glaze towards the camera as the lights flicker again. After this, the scene fades to black but audible footsteps are heard before the camera returns to the original scene. Banzo is nowhere to be seen until he appears by popping his head up in-front of the camera. Distorted music along with a repeating doorbell is heard as he opens his jaw.

The tape ends with a brief moment of the audience able to view regular Banzo facing away as the phrase "I love you" is heard repeating in a louder tone whilst he turns to face the camera.

Trivia

 * Within the tape, a doorbell is heard in the background signaling Martin to move away from the camera. In the same scene, Banzo's mouth opens as the same sound is heard. Either this may be the audio in the tape itself glitching or he can mimic other sounds to his advantage.
 * Unbeknownst to Martin, Banzo seems highly aware of the circumstances presented throughout the series, causing him to use the environment and transformation to his advantage.
 * The man referred within the tape could be the rival discussed in future episodes of Harmony & Horror (THE_PERFECT_PET to be exact): Franklin Norway as inferred by the "Let's see who's the fraud now". But, this is still up for debate.
 * Despite the advertisement suggesting the toy is incapable of speech, Banzo seems to have a few voice-lines such as "I love you". He is also capable of speech as seen within THE_PERFECT_PET.
