The chapter's rollercoaster narrative begins at Safe Haven, a seemingly secure location, quickly revealed as a deceptive haven. Despite overcoming Yarnaby and the Doctor, our protagonists face further adversity. The Prototype, aware of Poppy's explosive plan, intercepts the explosives to destroy Safe Haven. This act shatters Doey, triggering aggressive behavior towards the player. After defeating Doey, the hiding Poppy and Kissy Missy are discovered.

A significant plot twist emerges: Ollie, the seemingly trustworthy ally, is revealed as The Prototype. This antagonist possesses the unsettling ability to alter his voice and imitate others, skillfully deceiving Poppy into believing he is Ollie.

A previously unseen interaction between Poppy and The Prototype is revealed through a VHS tape found during the chase with Doey. This tape showcases Poppy's despair after a moment of happiness, revealing The Prototype's manipulative promise of escape from the factory – a promise ultimately broken.

The Prototype asserts the impossibility of escape, citing their transformation into monsters and the subsequent rejection by humanity. Despite her hatred for the factory, Poppy eventually agrees with The Prototype's assessment. This understanding, however, leads her to plan the factory's destruction to prevent further toy transformations.

The Prototype, ever vigilant, anticipates Poppy's plan. Exploiting his guise as Ollie, he thwarts Poppy's efforts and threatens to imprison her again. The reason for this hostage threat remains unclear, but it compels Poppy's fearful retreat.

Exploring the Poppy Playtime Chapter 4 Laboratory

Following Poppy's departure, The Prototype initiates the destruction of the player's hiding spot. Kissy Missy's attempt to capture the player fails due to her injured arm. The player, though surviving the initial attack, finds themselves within a laboratory – a garden of poppies used in the factory's experiments.

This location is likely the final area in the Poppy Playtime series. Poppy's previous statements indicate this is where The Prototype hides and imprisons orphaned children. The player must likely confront the final boss, rescue the children, and destroy the factory. This task is complicated by the lab's security measures and the encounter with Huggy Wuggy – possibly the same Huggy Wuggy from Poppy Playtime Chapter 1, judging by his injuries and bandages. Despite his wounds, Huggy Wuggy remains a formidable threat.

This summarizes the ending of Poppy Playtime Chapter 4, bringing us closer to the climactic confrontation with the final boss before escaping this nightmarish factory.
