Last time on Total Drama Action, Harold took a big bite of "whodunit" in our most mysterious episode yet. After the contestants cracked the code of Chris' mysterious message, they stealthily had to fetch prints of DNA from each other. A party reward on a train quickly turned into a hunt for my murderer. When Lindsay was declared the "Sherlockiest" of them all, Courtney was furious. But, it didn't stop Lindsay from inviting Duncan to the movies to make Courtney more jealous, even if it turned out to he horribly awkward.

Chris was sitting in the bleachers with some popcorn and his dummy.

"Will Courtney plot some evil revenge, will Lindsay actually outsmart her", Chris asked, "am I even cooler now that I'm alive again?"

Chris raised his arm and accidentally knocked the dummy over.

"Find out", Chris said, "on this episode of Total. Drama. Action!"

Opening Sequence

One morning at the abandoned film lot, Lindsay came out of the communal bathroom wrapped in a towel and walked to the girls' trailer singing off-key, with the song going:

Ooh, your face!

Ooh, in my glands.

Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, it's you and me!

And you and me makes we!

You, and me-e-e-e-e-e-e,

Like butter knives, we're free!

We're freeeee!

Then, a very irritated Courtney walked over to her.

"Would you please shut up", Courtney shouted, "and it's butterflies, not butter knives!"

Courtney sighed at Lindsay's stupidity.

"And everyone knows you picked Duncan for your movie reward last night in retaliation", Courtney said, "the murder mystery challenge is over, so you can stop massacring that song!"

"I was not mascara-ing anything except my eyelashes, Courtney", Lindsay said, "what's that other thing you said I did?"

Beth then walked over to the two.

"Guys, can't we try to get along", Beth asked.

"Oh, stop playing dumb, Lindsay", Courtney said.

But Lindsay started singing again.

"Ooh, ooh, ooh", Lindsay sang, "like butter knives, we're free!"

"She's not playing, is she", Courtney said.

"Nope", Beth said.

'You and me makes we", Lindsay sang.

In the boys' trailer, Duncan was fed up with Lindsay's singing.

"Three hours at the movies with that girl and now this", Duncan asked, "I'm gonna go stick a fork in my eye to relieve the pain."

Then, the cast heard some drumming and went outside to find Chris standing in front of Chef, who was playing the drums and hit a cymbal, which annoyed the former.

"Nice of you to join us", Chris said, "today's movie genre is, drumroll please!"

Chef provided some drumroll, but went on too long.

"Okay Ringo, that's enough", Chris said.

Chef then stopped drumming.

"As I was saying", Chris said, "today's movie genre is..."

Chef started drumming again, but stopped when Chris looked at him.

"The rock n' roll bio pic", Chris said.

"Alright", Harold said.

Harold slid over to Chris on his knees and did some air guitar moves.

Confessional: Hope you're not off your rocker.

Duncan: Rock n' roll bio pic? Normally I'd be stoked, but I had a rocking headache from Lindsay-palooza last night!

End Confessional

"Is a bio pick kind of like a toothpick", Lindsay asked, "because I could use one right now."

Lindsay pointed into her mouth.

"There's popcorn stuck right here", Lindsay said.

"Shut up, popcorn down", Chris said.

Lindsay set her popcorn down.

"Any good rock n' roll bio pic starts with a kid from humble beginnings drawn into the seemingly glam world of rock music", Chris said, "after overcoming enormous hardships, the kid gets a break, and makes it ginormous, bigger than me even!"

Chef and the cast were genuinely shocked at Chris' comment.

"There's something I never thought he'd say", Duncan said.

Chris just glared at Duncan.

"Anywho", Chris said, "the kid is then drawn into a scandalist world of stuff I'm not allowed to talk about with 16-year-olds, like dangerous addictions, multiple divorces, an occasional night in the big house, and an untimely death while sitting on a toilet."

Then, the scene changed to show Chris in the control room.

"Please, do not try any of a aforementioned at home, or I will be sued", Chris said, "and, would be unable to afford the maintenance of this fabulous smile!"

Chris smiled for the camera, and the scene changed back to the film lot.

"A few things that any good rock god would know that I am able to talk about", Chris said, "you need to know how to rock out on a guitar, work the paparazzi, and trash a hotel room."

The cast was feeling excited about the challenge.

"Any questions", Chris asked.

Lindsay raised her hand.

"Alright, then", Chris said, "if there are no questions, meet me at the big stadium in ten minutes."

Later, the cast was walking to the challenge, and Courtney noticed the time.

"We're late", Courtney said, "Chris is going to have our heads."

Chris was waiting for them, and was ticked off.

"I said ten minutes, not ten hours", Chris said.

"You also said to meet you at the big stadium", Duncan said, "this is the dumpy Guilded Chris Awards theater."

"Where you might get kicked off tonight", Chris said, "anyways, you all did pretty good, since the first step to become a rock legend is to show up late for your own show."

"Then why'd you give us a time to be here", Harold asked.

"I wanted to see if you'd actually get here on time", Chris said, "anyways, your first challenge is to rock out on a guitar."

"But I don't know how to play the guitar", Lindsay said, "is it anything like the recorder, because I can play the recorder."

"Yeah", Chris said, "it's a lot like the recorder, only completely different!"

Chris gestured to a screen, and the cast looked at it.

"Since I'm pretty sure none of you have played a guitar, and probably can't read music either, you'll be playing a fake guitar", Chris said, "the notes will be represented by colored notes on the screen corresponding to your guitar, which you must play simultaneously, but if you get a wrong note, you're going to get a major shock!"

"What's that supposed to mean", Beth asked.

Chris made a buzzing noise and shook, which startled the others.

"You mean you're going to electrocute us", Beth asked.

"Of course not", Chris said, "the guitar will electrocute you!"

The cast gasped.

"Don't worry, you'll live", Chris said, "but you'll never be able to play the piano again."

"That's okay", Lindsay said, "I can't play the piano anyways."

"Or use a cell phone, either", Chris said.

Hearing this caused Lindsay to scream hysterically.

Confessional: To those who are ready to rock, brace yourselves!

Courtney: I used to play in an all-girl band at school called the A-Type Psychotic Crazies. Unfortunately, we broke up before our first gig. Apparently, you can't start a band with five leads and no backup.

End Confessional

"Are you ready to rock out", Chris asked.

"For those about to rock, I salute you", Harold sang.

"Bite me", Duncan said.

"And, rock on", Chris shouted.

The contestants began playing, and smoke came from Harold's guitar as he played quickly.

"Well would you look at that", Chris said, "Harold's on fire, literally!"

Then, Harold's guitar caught fire.

"Water", Harold shouted, "water!"

Chef splashed a bucket of water on Harold, and his guitar short-circuited, electrocuting him.

"Shoot", Harold said.

Then, Beth walked backwards playing her guitar, but fell off the stage.

"Ooh, that hurt", Chris said, "well, that's two down, three to go."

Duncan slowly played his guitar, while Lindsay didn't play hers at all.

"Do you have one in red", Lindsay asked, "this one doesn't go with my outfit."

Then, she got electrocuted.

"And now it's down to Courtney and Duncan", Chris said.

Courtney then did some tricks on her guitar, which impressed the others.

"Wow", Harold said, "that girl can rock."

But Duncan played his guitar normally, and then smashed it onto the stage.

"Nice move, Duncan", Chris said, "and it looks like the winner is..."

Chef played the drumroll.

"Duncan", Chris said.

Courtney was outraged by this.

"What", Courtney asked, "but I hit every note, and played behind my head, on my knees, and with my teeth!"

"Yeah", Chris said, "but you tried too hard, and besides, smashing your guitar is a classic rock star move."

"Watch and learn, baby doll", Duncan said, "maybe one day, you'll be able to rock as hard as me."

In response, Courtney hit him in the groin with her guitar.

"That hard enough for you, baby doll", Courtney asked.

Chris then walked onto the stage.

"We'll be right back once Courtney relaxes with a hot bath, and Duncan gets the rock back in his roll", Chris said.

Commercial Break

At another part of the film lot, the Lame-o-sine pulled up to a red carpet, and Chris stepped out in the suit he wears for the Guilded Chris ceremonies.

"Welcome back to the rock n' roll bio pic edition of Total Drama Action", Chris said, "now, in order to become a true rock n' roll legend, you must know how to work the paparazzi.

The contestants looked at the challenge.

"The first part of the challenge is an obstacle course of fans, photographers, groupies, and autograph hounds", Chris said, "you'll start at the Lame-o-sine, walk up the red carpet, past the obstacles, and backstage, where one of you will win, and the rest will be celebrity roadkill."

Chris then turned to Duncan.

"Duncan", Chris said, "for winning the first challenge, you get a backstage pass, so you start halfway."

Confessional: Backstage of what?

Duncan: Too bad this isn't a real backstage pass. Looks the part. *reads* All access membership buff and tone spa?!

Chris: *enters with a towel over his neck* Yeah! I'm gonna be needing that!

End Confessional

"Okay", Chris said, "Courtney, you're up first."

Courtney stepped out of the Lame-o-sine and ran away.

"And she's off", Chris said.

Courtney avoided the photographer, signed the autograph hound's notepad, smiled for two more photographers, backhanded waved a groupie, grabbed a swag bag from a cutout, declined some food from a caterer, and walked over to a bouncer.

"Do you know who I am", Courtney asked.

The bouncer cutout moved out of the way, and Courtney went inside.

"Nice moves", Chris said, "and good call on grabbing the swag, which you get to keep."

Courtney reached in, and pulled out a book with Chris' face on it.

"My autobiography", Chris said, "volume one."

Confessional: Coming soon to your local bookstore. NOT!

Courtney: Ugh, did you see that swag? Only thing missing is a barf bag with Chris' face on it. *a barf-filled barf bag with Chris' face on it is thrown into the makeup table* Eww, gross!

End Confessional

"Duncan, you're up", Chris said, "remember, you get to skip the Lame-o-sine and half the red carpet."

Duncan spit on a photographer's shoes, knocked the camera away from another one, flipped off an autograph hound, wrote his number on a groupie's belly, tossed the caterer's tray away, and broke the bouncer cutout.

"Dude", Chris said, "major potential lawsuits with the pass, the fans, and the bouncer, but nice move with the groupie."

"Cool, whatever", Duncan said.

"Someone's in a bad mood", Chris said, "next up is Beth!"

Beth ran out of the Lame-o-sine, but a photographer's camera flash knocked her glasses off, so she walked blindly through the course, tripping and falling a lot.

"Moving on", Chris said, "Harold, you're up!"

Harold stepped out of the Lame-o-sine and made the rock n' roll symbol incorrectly.

"Rock n' roll", Harold said.

He then noticed that he did the symbol wrong.

"No, that's not it", Harold said, "rock n' roll!"

He then noticed that he did the symbol wrong again.

"No, wait", Harold said, "rock n' roll!"

Then, he made the right symbol.

"Got it", Harold said.

As Harold walked down the red carpet and came to the first cutout, Duncan rudely shouted out to him.

"Get on with it, Doris", Duncan said.

Harold, who was upset about this, ran down the carpet, breaking all the cutouts, and fell into Chris' arms crying.

"Your turn, Lindsay", Chris said.

After stepping out of the Lame-o-sine, Lindsay posed for the photographers, signed the autograph hound's notepad, hugged the groupie, collected a Chris t-shirt from the swag guy and tossed it on top of the groupie, collected a sandwich from the caterer, and kissed the bouncer, which made him move out of the way.

"Yay", Lindsay said.

Soon after, Chef gave Chris an envelope.

"And now, the moment you've all been waiting for", Chris said, "let's see your best shots, shall we?"

Chris looked at the photos, and turned to the cast.

"And the winner is", Chris said, "Lindsay!"

Courtney was shocked to hear this, while Lindsay was happy.

"Yay", Lindsay said.

"How is that possible", Courtney asked, "I did the best job of avoiding the paparazzi!"

"Who said you were supposed to avoid them", Chris asked, "the paparazzi means exposure, and Lindsay exposed, so she wins an advantage in the last challenge, where you will compete for invincibility."

Confessional: Lindsay's new arch-nemesis.

Courtney: I hate, hate, hate losing! So when Lindsiot won, it took all my years of transcendental meditation to keep it together. *is calm at first, but loses it and begins screaming*

End Confessional

"And here we are, at the ultimate rock star challenge", Chris said, "trashing the hotel room."

"Alright", Duncan said.

"You each have thirty seconds to cause as much destruction as you can, with Lindsay getting an additional ten seconds for winning the last challenge", Chris said, "and, go!"

Harold hit a phone on a table, Beth knocked over a picture of Chris, and then a lamp, Lindsay jumped on a cushion, and Duncan used a fake palm tree to smash a desk, threw a TV out the window, and tried to smash a serving cart on the ground, when he saw Courtney break something.

"No way am I losing to you, Lindsay, or those two geeks", Courtney said.

"Hey", Harold and Beth shouted.

Courtney continued trashing the room, and threw a few objects at Duncan.

Confessional: Talk about a love/hate relationship.

Duncan: Man, nothing sharpens my dog collar more than a girl with a temper.

Courtney: My meditation teacher would've been so proud.

End Confessional

Courtney continued to trash the set, when Chris ran up to her.

"Courtney, stop", Chris shouted, "you won!"

Courtney then stopped what she was doing when she heard him.

"I won", Courtney asked.

"Yes", Chris said, "you win invincibility tonight!"

"What", Lindsay asked, "but what about my extra ten seconds?"

"Yeah, about that", Chris said, "since there's nothing left to destroy, I'm afraid those ten seconds aren't really useful anymore."

"Aww", Lindsay said.

"Now then", Chris said, "it's time to decide who's out of the band."

Later that night, Lindsay and Beth met at the bridge set.

"Alright, Beth", Lindsay said, "since Courtney has invincibility, we need to vote someone else off tonight."

"But who", Beth asked.

"Duncan", Lindsay said, "I just know Courtney loves him, so if we get rid of him, she'll go crazy."

"Good thinking", Beth said, "but it's just the two of us."

"Don't worry", Lindsay said, "I know who to ask."

Harold then walked over to them.

"Evening, ladies", Harold said.

"Hey, Harold", Lindsay said, "listen, we..."

"I'm in", Harold said.

Lindsay and Beth were surprised.

"What", Lindsay asked.

"You girls were going to ask me to vote for Duncan tonight", Harold said, "well, I'm in."

"That's right", Lindsay said, "but how did you know?"

"I was thinking the same thing", Harold said, "have been since I was placed on the same team as him."

"Great", Lindsay said, "let's do this."

Soon, the contestants were at the Guilded Chris theater.

"Now, for Total Drama", Chris said, "five left, one must go, and it won't be Courtney."

The cast began placing their votes, and Lindsay looked at Beth smiling with her eyes closed while voting.

"And, the votes are in", Chris said, "the Guilded Chris goes to: Courtney, Harold, and Lindsay!"

Chef tossed them their Guilded Chris Awards in that order, and only Duncan and Beth were left.

"Only one left", Chris said, "the final Guilded Chris goes to..."

There was a long pause before Chris announced the recipient.

"Duncan", Chris said.

Duncan was relieved as he caught his award, while Lindsay was shocked.

"What", Lindsay asked, "how can this be?!"

Then, she turned to Harold.

"You", Lindsay said, "you tricked us!"

"Not so fast, Lindsay", Chris said, "Harold didn't vote for Beth, you did."

"What do you mean", Lindsay asked.

"Allow me to explain", Chris said.

Chef rolled a monitor over and showed footage of Lindsay accidentally voting for Beth.

"As you can see", Chris said, "when you turned to Beth, your finger slipped, thus voting your bestie off the show."

Everyone gasped, while Duncan laughed.

"Beth", Chris said, "it's time for you to say sayonara."

Beth got up, and Lindsay hugged her.

"I'm so sorry", Lindsay said, "can you ever forgive me?"

"I forgive you", Beth said, "I may have lost my chance at the million, but having you as my BFF is worth even more."

Everyone "awwed" at what was happening, except for Courtney and Chris.

"Enough already", Chris said, "Chef, get her out of here!"

Chef carried Beth away to the Lame-o-sine.

"Bye, Lindsay", Beth said, "kick Courtney's butt for me!"

"I will", Lindsay said.

Confessional: Better than the real one?

Courtney: Why vote for Beth instead of Lindsay? Because she's Lindsay's best friend, so I was hitting her where it hurts. And also because she's the smarter of the two.

Lindsay: *sighs* Let's face it. There's no getting rid of Duncan.

End Confessional

"Well, that was an unexpected twist", Chris said, "tune in next time for another hot-rocking episode of Total. Drama. Action!"
