Chapter 4's rollercoaster of events begins at Safe Haven, a seemingly secure location that quickly proves deceptive. Despite defeating Yarnaby and the Doctor, the heroes face a new threat. The Prototype learns of Poppy's explosive plan and intervenes, triggering a catastrophic event that unleashes Doey's aggression. After defeating Doey, the player finds Poppy and Kissy Missy in hiding.

A major twist reveals Ollie, the seemingly trustworthy ally, is actually The Prototype, a master of disguise capable of voice mimicry. He manipulates Poppy, making her believe he's Ollie.

A discovered VHS tape reveals a past encounter between Poppy and The Prototype. He convinces Poppy that escape is impossible, given their monstrous transformations and the rejection they'd face from humanity. While Poppy initially hates the factory, she eventually agrees with The Prototype's assessment. This leads to her plan to destroy the factory to prevent further transformations.

However, The Prototype anticipates Poppy's plan, thwarting it and threatening to imprison her again. His motives for wanting to keep Poppy captive remain unclear, but his threat forces Poppy's escape.

Following Poppy's departure, The Prototype attacks the player's hideout. A wounded Kissy Missy's attempt to capture the player fails. The player finds themselves in a laboratory, a poppy flower garden used for the factory's experiments.

This laboratory is likely the final setting in the Poppy Playtime series. Poppy previously indicated it's where The Prototype hides and keeps orphaned children. The player must likely confront the final boss, rescue the children, and destroy the factory. This will involve navigating security systems and facing Huggy Wuggy, possibly the same one from Chapter 1, now bearing injuries and seemingly intent on harming the player.

This summarizes the ending of Poppy Playtime Chapter 4, setting the stage for a climactic confrontation with the final boss before escaping the factory.
