The episode opens on the peaceful sleeping of Duncan, Dawn, and Lindsay in the Warden's Office. The camera pans to Duncan's face when suddenly an alarm starts going up making him jump up. Lindsay and Dawn also jump up. Chris bursts through the door, "Challenge time sleepy heads!" All three collectively groan.
"All of your teammates are locked up somewhere in this prison! Your goal is to find them and then do whatever is required to free them! Get all your teammates out before the others you win the challenge! So uh, go!" Dawn, Lindsay, and Duncan run out the door to begin looking for their teammates.
(Confessionals:)
Duncan, "First person I want to find is Sam obviously. Honestly winning isn't too big a deal because Topher is an easy vote off once we lose ever."
xx
Dawn, "Hopefully my powers can help me find my teammates auras. Dave and Ezekiel are both boys that mean well and if I can prevent them from being eliminated I'll certainly try my best!"
xx
Lindsay, "Do I have to? Sierra is nice normally but this season she's kind of being a real jerk. Amy is just the worst but she's easier to convince I'm just completely listening to her."
(End of Confessionals)
Duncan hears screaming and runs towards it, much to his despair he comes across Topher. Topher grins, "Hey Duncy! Free me so we can win this challenge." Duncan groans, "Don't call me Duncy or I'll throw this challenge just to get you voted off." "Tough crowd. Alright so, get me out of here." Duncan looks around for a way to free Topher from his cage, "I don't know how to."
Topher sighs, "Do I have to do everything around here? There's a not right there tied to the cage. Read it." Duncan begins reading the note, "The only way to free Topher is to use brute force and either force the cage open or break it." Topher smirks, "If there's anyone who can do this, it's you!" Duncan nods and begins to try and pry the cage door open. Obviously he fails and begins looking around for tools, "Alright, I'm going to go look for something to help free you." Topher nods.
(Confessional)
Topher, "Really? You have to give me something he has to break into? Couldn't you do a cool puzzle or something?"
(End of Confessional)
Lindsay is wandering the halls when she comes to a cage with a table in front of it. Locked in the cage is Sierra. Lindsay jogs over to it and begins reading the note, "The only way to free Sierra is by doing the 1,000 piece jigsaw puzzle on the table." Lindsay groans, "I hate puzzles!" Sierra scolds Lindsay, "Lindsay! Puzzles are easy! We need to win this challenge!" "Okay.." Lindsay begrudgingly starts the puzzle.
(Confessional)
Sierra, "Was Lindsay always this stupid? I swear back in Island, Action, and World Tour she was at least sort of intelligent. In All Stars she was even more stupid and now she's somehow stupider than that. Still a big fan of her though!"
(End of Confessional)
Dawn is running through the halls looking for one of her team mates. She hears a very feminine scream that can only belong to Dave. She runs to it and sees him in the cage. He's looking at the ground all around the cage which just seems to be covered in dirt a mud. Dawn walks over to the cage, "Hey Dave!" Dave looks at Dawn with a terrified look in his eyes, "Get me away from this dirt! PLEASE!"
Dawn takes the note off the cage and begins reading it, "You must search through all of this mud to find three keys, once you get them all you can unlock the three locks on the cages." Dawn groans and begins to dig.
(Confessional)
Dave, "Why did it have to be dirt? I hate this show!"
(End of Confessional)
Duncan returns to the Warden's Office and begins to dig around looking for something to help him break open the cage. He begins looking around and comes across a bobby pin and a sledgehammer, "Why is there a sledgehammer in here?" He begins making his way back to Topher. He runs up to the cage with Topher.
Topher glares at him, "Wanna hurry it up maybe?" "Screw off Topher you wouldn't be able to do anything of this." Topher rolls his eyes, "Can you just free me already." Duncan grins and pulls out his sledgehammer. He slams it against the cage and it just rattles. "Don't do that while I'm in here! You could hurt me!" Shouts Topher. Duncan laughs at him before pulling out the bobby pin, "I knew that wasn't going to work I just wanted to scare you." He picks the lock and frees Topher.
(Confessionals)
Duncan, "Well that's one down. Now we have to find Sam."
xx
Topher, "I really don't like that guy, he's getting the boot as soon as we reach the merge."
(End of Confessionals)
Lindsay is still working on the puzzle. Sierra is starting to get impatient, "Can you hurry it up? I don't really want to lose again and have to vote out Amy." Lindsay looks confused, "Why would you vote out Amy?" "Because I'm not going to vote out you or myself." "Ooohhh." Lindsay looks down at her half finished puzzle before placing another piece.
(Confessionals)
Sierra, "This is taking forever! It's just a simple puzzle!"
xx
Lindsay, "I know this season I've been acting dumb, but I'm actually not good at jigsaw puzzles. I'm not acting dumb on this one."
(End of Confessionals)
The camera cuts to Dawn who as two of the keys she needs to free Dave, who is sitting and rocking back and forth in a fetal position. "Don't worry Dave, I've almost got you out of here! Aha!" She exclaims as she holds up the last key. She rockets up and begins testing the keys on the locks. She slowly figures out which keys go to what lock and unlocks the cage. Dave leaps over the dirt, "Thank you so much! I could hug you right now! Not really because you're covered in dirt but if you weren't I'd totally hug you right now!" Dawn smile, amused by him before they both begin walking off."
(Confessionals)
Dave, "What would I do without Dawn? She saved me! What a good friend!"
xx
Dawn, "I'm to help Dave. It was cruel of Chris to put him in that specific cage."
(End of Confessionals)
The camera cuts to Lindsay and Sierra, Lindsay is finally almost done with the puzzle. She places the final piece and the door swings open. "FINALLY!" Exclaims Sierra.
Chris walks out with the other two teams and Amy. "You guys lost! I just wanted to see how long it took Lindsay to finish the puzzle!"
(Confessionals)
Sam, "Yeah. Topher and Duncan had to beat a level of The Amazing Plumber Sisters to get me out. It didn't take them very long."
xx
Ezekiel, "They just needed to solve a riddle. They're both pretty smart so it was pretty easy."
(End of Confessional)
(ELIMINATION CEREMONY)
Chris is standing in front of the chair with Amy, Sierra, and Lindsay. Sam, Topher, and Duncan are standing on the left of the chair because they had come in first. Ezekiel, Dave, and Dawn were on the right. Sam and Dave were standing closest to the chairs. "Alright you guys know the deal! Two of you will get trays of food, the other one will be zapped and dumped down the hole! The first one safe is...
...
...Lindsay!"
"Yay!"
Sierra and Amy glare at each other, "You tried to betray me!" They both accused at the same time.
...
...
"... Amy gets the last tray! Sierra you're eliminated!" "Dang. Well, sorry for acting like a villain this season! I wanted to truly experience Total Drama from every angle!" She sits on the chair and gets electrocuted. However, as she's being tossed backwards into the trapped door she instinctively reaches out and grabs the first thing she can: Dave. He reacts with shock as he's also pulled into the hole and disappears along with Sierra. Chris walks over to the hole and looks in, "Huh, that wasn't supposed to happen."
Dawn and Ezekiel also rush over to the hole. "Get him out!" Demands Ezekiel. Chris looks over to him, "Nah we needed a double elimination eventually. I guess this is it." "That's not fair!" Dawn accused. "Blame Sierra, not me. Plus I'd have to go down to the dungeon and let him out and then everyone else will probably riot and try to get out. Look, it's one less competitor to worry about why are you so worried?" "Because he's our friend!" Ezekiel and Dawn said at the same time. Chris shrugs and leans over the hole, "Dave! You're eliminated too bro!"
Ezekiel and Dawn glared at Chris.
(Confessionals)
Amy, "What can I say? I'm glad she's gone."
xx
Lindsay, "Amy is dumber than Sierra so she thinks she can use me longer than Sierra would!"
xx
Dawn, "It's rather unfortunate what happened to Dave. This is an injustice and I'll make sure Chris pays for this."
xx
Ezekiel, "Yo that's just wack, eh. Dave was a good dude and he was destined to make it far in this game, eh."
(End of Confessionals)
Chris walks in front of the camera, "Well! That was another exciting episode of Total Drama! We have two left contestants which leaves us down to seven! Who will be eliminated next? Find out next time on Total! Drama! Breakout!"
I'm not very happy with this episode if I'm honest. I like the idea with the challenge I'm not happy with how I executed it. As for the eliminations they were fine. Dave's elimination wasn't really fair but ya know, I always wondered what would happen in World Tour if like, as someone was jumping from the plane they grabbed someone else and took them with them.
Why Sierra? Well, it was between her and Amy for a main antagonist and honestly Sierra isn't mean enough to be the main antagonist and I knew Lindsay was going to have to vote one of them out so Sierra got the boot. Originally Sierra and Amy were going to work together well into the merge and Lindsay was going to go here, but I think Lindsay deserves better.
Why Dave? His only plot line was with Sky if I'm honest. Sure he was sort of friends with Dawn and Ezekiel, but his entire story in this season was to deal with Sky and she went home last episode and Dave didn't have anywhere else to go. I thought about shipping him with Dawn but that pairing just doesn't work in my opinion. Originally this was just going to be a normal double elimination and Dawn and Ezekiel would just vote him out because they liked each other more than him, but I didn't want Dave to go out in a mean spirited way.
