Gwen felt as her heart was torn in two. She thought Duncan loved her, but for this whole challenge he had been fighting with Alejandro over Courtney. She should have known he was a jerk! Even though Trent got a little obsessive over her, at least he never looked at other girls.
Then, Gwen had a…what's the word? Epiphany! She realized that no matter what she did to Cody, he still loved her. She had been rude to him, went with Trent, and then Duncan, shoved him into the "friend zone" twice, but he never gave up on her.
Realizing that the perfect guy had been in front of her all along, she was naturally furious when Duncan strapped that dingo into the harness and threw it at Cody. He fell over the edge, wrestling with the wild dog.
Feeling enraged, she ran at Duncan…
Duncan was laughing at his cruel revenge on Cody. The little twerp had gotten what was coming to him.
Now, back to messing up Courtney's game. He knew his ex was a bit of a perfectionist, so it would be pretty easy for Alejandro to use his looks to distract her and throw her off of her game.
Then, a thought occurred to him: he better tell Gwen what was going on, before she-
"WE'RE THROUGH!" the punk heard. He turned around to see…Gwen's boot aiming for his face! It made contact, and Duncan was sent falling over the cliff…
"AAAAHHH!" Cody yelled, as he and the dingo bounced around on the bungee cord. He was nervous, as he knew dingoes were really vicious.
The wild dog was about to bite into him…when Duncan fell on them, getting partially tangled up in the bungee cord.
The trio bounced to the ground, before shooting back up. The dingo slipped out of the harness and bit Duncan in his…kiwis. They fell down to the ground far below, while Cody managed to hold onto the harness and landed safely at the top of the cliff.
He was a little hazy on what had just happened…when he felt someone on him, hugging him.
He sighed in annoyance, "Sierra, please…" He stopped as he opened his eyes to see Gwen with her arms around him, smiling.
"Gw…Gwen?" he asked in surprise.
"One vote for Gwen, one for Courtney, another for Gwen, another for Courtney," Chris read the votes from Team Amazon, as they had finally lost on an elimination challenge.
"And the final vote goes to…" Chris paused for dramatic effect, as he always did before the eliminations. Courtney and Gwen were anxious, wondering which one of them was going home.
"Courtney," the host smiled, tossing the CIT a parachute.
"WHAT?!" she cried, "But I had three people on my side!"
"Actually, Courtney," Heather spoke up, "I'm just gonna be honest: I got sick of you trying to throw the challenges just to get rid of Gwen. I hate Weird-Goth-Girl, too, but I'm not gonna sabotage my own team to get rid of her."
"UGGGHH!" Courtney cried, before walking over to the open door, "Chris, prepare to hear from my lawyers! I'm gonna sue you so hard that…"
Courtney didn't get a chance to finish, as Chris ran over and pushed her out the hanger door, making sure to grab her parachute out of her hands as she fell. He then waited about 5 seconds before tossing the parachute down after her.
The rest of Team Amazon looked at him in surprise. "Hey," he shrugged, "I already got a huge lawsuit from her last season, so I really don't need one this season, too. I figure at the very least she'll crash into some tall trees or a cliff before she gets the chute open."
The rest of the team decided to just go with it. They merely shrugged, before heading off to economy class.
As Cody was heading back, Gwen grabbed him by the shoulder to stop him.
"Cody?" she asked, "Can I talk to you?"
"Sure," Cody said happily, as the two of them walked back to the cargo hold.
Once they were in the back, Cody opened his mouth to ask Gwen why she had been hugging him…when she leaned forward and pressed her lips against his.
Cody couldn't believe this was happening! His dream girl was kissing him! He quickly pinched his side to make sure he wasn't dreaming.
The kiss lasted about 10 seconds before Gwen pulled away.
"I'm so sorry for failing to realize that the perfect guy was right in front of me this whole time," Gwen said, smiling, "I guess I just thought you were a twerp who was in way over his head, but I see now that really do you love me." She paused for a second, as she thought a somewhat-scary thought, "You do still love me, don't you?"
"Yeah," Cody quickly answered, before taking a deep breath and continuing, "I'll always love you, Gwen. You're smart, beautiful, able to stick up for yourself, and everything else a guy could want in a girl."
Gwen smiled at this, as Cody smiled back.
"Does this mean we're…?" Cody started, still a little dazed with happiness.
"Yeah," Gwen smiled, as she pulled Cody in for another kiss, which the geek melted into.
Eliminations:
-Sweden Sour: No one (Gwen and Cody were able to convince Sierra to vote for Heather with them, but it was a reward challenge; Gwen thought it was really sweet that Cody used the boards to build her head, even though it put them behind)
-Aftermath Aftermayhem: Blaineley joins the competition (Courtney was shown to have no injuries, meaning she got her chute to work before she hit the ground in Picnic at Hanging Dork; Blaineley asked Trent what he thought about Gwen and Cody, hoping to make him snap with jealousy, but he simply replied he was happy for his friends)
-Niagara Brawls: Owen (The merge. The married couples were: D & G, C & S, B & O, and A & H; Cody still promised to kiss Sierra so they didn't go over the Falls, but Gwen didn't mind; however, the Goth girl did mind when Sierra tricked Cody into marrying her, but she knew that the fan girl was too crazy so the marriage wouldn't really be legal)
-Chinese Fake-Out: Blaineley and Duncan (Blaineley for allying with Chef, Duncan for helping Alejandro cheat in the eating challenge; Blaineley still revealed the obviousness of Alejandro and Heather's crush, the fact that Cody always voted for Sierra [save for when they got rid of Courtney], that Ezekiel was still on the plane, and that she was originally supposed to host the show; Duncan begged for Gwen's forgiveness, but she ignored him)
-African Lying Society: Gwen (after Alejandro won, he and Heather convinced Sierra to join them in voting Gwen off so that she could have Cody all to herself)
Cody ran to the Drop of Shame door, upset that his girlfriend had been eliminated.
"I'll win for us, Gwen."
Gwen smiled at Cody, "Thanks, Baby." At this, she leaned in for a kiss, but Chris did his famous "get rid of the eliminated contestant before they can kiss their boy-or-girlfriend" by pushing Gwen out the door.
"What is your problem?" Cody asked, resisting his urge to push Chris out the door.
"I love ratings," Chris smirked, walking away.
Cody sighed, as Sierra smiled, thinking she could easily win Cody over now that Gwen was gone.
Over the next couple challenges, Sierra pursued Cody, trying to get him to see that she was the perfect girl for him. Cody ignored her, trying to get her to see that he wasn't interested.
But, after she remembered his birthday, when even he, himself forgot it, the wimpy teen realized that she was a true friend, but he came out and told her that he loved Gwen, and that they couldn't be together. He also brought up the fact that, if you thought about it seriously, she was too young to be a licensed minister, so they couldn't legally be married. She was depressed over this, but since Cody said she was his best friend, she said she was okay with it.
Then, of course, Sierra blew up the plane, resulting in her elimination, keeping Alejandro safe.
In Hawaiian Style, Bridgette came back from Siberia and reunited with Geoff. Though her bear, Bruno, was a little overprotective and didn't like it when Geoff got too close to her. Blaineley was shown to be in a full-body cast after her parachute failed to work in China, much to the amusement of the rest of the cast.
After the opening, the remaining contestants then formed teams based on who they wanted to win.
Tyler and Beth managed to convince Lindsay that Alejandro was an evil, manipulative jerk, so they sided with Cody. Katie and Sadie carried an injured Blaineley over to Alejandro's section, where Courtney also took a seat. Most everyone else sided with Cody. Due to his both his ex-girlfriends being on the other teams, Duncan sat down in Heather's section. And of course, Ezekiel and Sierra were still with Chris, so they didn't get a choice (at the moment). Also, Geoff told Bridgette she couldn't make anyone root for Heather, as no one liked her. So, the final teams were:
Heather: Duncan
Alejandro: Katie, Sadie, Courtney, Blaineley
Cody: Gwen, Geoff, Bridgette, Bruno, Sasquatchanakwa, Harold, Trent, Justin, DJ, Tyler, Owen, Noah, Izzy, LeShawna, Lindsay, Beth, Eva
The lava surfing challenge had Harold, Duncan, and Courtney surfing for their respective contestants. In the end, Harold somehow managed to win Cody a wheel barrel, Courtney won Alejandro a baby carriage, and Duncan won nothing for Heather.
They signed off the episode with Bridgette saying, "And come on, we all know that Cody deserves the money. Like Owen said, he's the only non-evil competitor left in the game."
"Yeah!" Gwen stated from the bleachers, looking towards the cameras, "Go Cody! Love ya, Baby."
After the long race to Hawaii, the final 3 (plus the temporarily bald and crippled Sierra) were racing towards the islands in their speedboats.
Alejandro's boat hit a water mine and shot up, and Heather's ran out of gas. She started paddling towards her destination.
The evil queen bee crossed what she thought was the finish line and jumped around, chanting, "I win! I win! I win!"
"Um, Heather," Chris started, "You didn't actually cross the…"
"WHOOO-HOO-HOO-HOO!" Everyone heard the voice of the fan favorite, just as he was inches away from the shoreline.
Suddenly, Alejandro's boat came crashing down onto Cody and Sierra's boat.
This caused the trio to fly into the air…and across the actual finish line, between two palm trees.
"And Alejandro and Cody make it into the final two!" Chris announced, as everyone (except Duncan and Heather) started cheering.
"But I crossed the finish line first!" Heather cried, stomping her foot on the ground.
"Actually, the line you crossed was the 'In' line. Meaning that all boats have to be able to fit on the inside of that line in order to park in this dock," Chris said smugly.
Naturally, this caused Heather to throw a huge temper tantrum. Chris ignored her as he signed off the episode:
"Now, we have our final two! Cody and Alejandro. Who will win the million? Find out in our epic finale of TOTAL. DRAMA. WOOORLD TOOOOUUUR."
