Last time on Total Drama…
The two teams were sent into the biohazardous woods to snap pictures of five chemically altered creatures, and once done so, had to report back to Chris to be assigned a creature to go and retrieve from those woods. While the Rats may have been divided, they ended up securing first place, thanks to Blaineley learning secret information about the challenge. After the Gophers' loss, Staci was finally sent home for being a nuisance during the challenge! While the Gophers may have lost a team member, they gained some tension; with Izzy costing them the challenge, and Anne Maria and Duncan butting heads. The teams were switched up once more after Blaineley blackmailed Chris with accusations of assault; all in an effort to prevent her own elimination. Blaineley also managed to helm the Rats team; with Eva, Brick and Ezekiel all by her side. Anne Maria teased Duncan and Tyler, insinuating they have a budding romance - causing worry for Lindsay. With Blaineley's influence growing, DJ's alliance with Chef on a roll, and Duncan and Tyler off to smoke some dope - so much controversy will sure ensue! Witness it now on...
TOTAL. DRAMA. FINALE.
Following a rocky Elimination Ceremony, Duncan and Tyler make their way over to the Gophers' cabin. They walk inside, and Duncan heads for his duffle bag. He pulls out a paper bag, then pulls a plastic bag out, and pulls out another plastic bag...and then other plastic bag. This final plastic bag holds it - his weed. Duncan rummages in his pockets, and pulls out a lighter. He motions to the door and him and Tyler head out and walk down to the end of the docks. They sit down at an awkward distance from each other. Tyler watches as Duncan pulls out a small pipe from his pocket, and begins packing it with his weed.
"Scoot over man, I'm not gonna' pass my doobage that far and drop it in the damn ocean." Duncan says, flicking tiny nuggets off his fingers.
"Oh yeah, sorry bro." Tyler apologizes, scooting closer. "I've never done anything like this before, what does it feel like?"
"Pretty radical." Duncan chuckles, flicking his lighter. He lights his pipe, and inhales deeply. He pulls the pipe away from his mouth, holding the smoke in his chest. He exhales, a giant cloud of smoke floating out of his mouth and nostrils.
"Dude, that stinks!" Tyler complains, waving away the cloud.
"You get used to it. Here." Duncan says, passing the pipe and lighter to Tyler.
"How do I do this?" Tyler asks, nearly turning the pipe upside down.
"Careful! Damn." Duncan shouts, grabbing Tyler's hand. "Here." He flicks the lighter, and places to the pipe to Tyler's mouth. "When I light it, just suck in, and hold it in your chest. It'll probably burn, but that's the fun." Duncan instructs.
He lights the pipe, and Tyler inhales deeply. Duncan pulls the pipe away, watching as Tyler struggles to keep the smoke down. Tyler hacks violently, holding his chest. Clouds of smoke disperse, sending Duncan into a fit of laughter. A few moments pass, and Tyler looks up to Duncan; his eyes bloodshot.
"Holy crap man...you're messed up!" Duncan chuckles.
"Dude...I feel like...my head is empty." Tyler babbles. "Your eyes are totally red, man."
"Oh, I know. I'm feelin' it. I don't do this every night, but after a day like this, it's nice to chill out." Duncan says, leaning back on the dock.
"Bro, I thought you always hated me or something. You know? You always like...my hands are totally tingling right now!" Tyler exclaims, rubbing his hands together.
"Nah. We've had our differences or whatevs, but you're cool. Besides, I need a friend on this team. I've been lonely as hell." Duncan admits. "After Trent left, I've been feeling like a total ass."
"What even went on with the two of you?" Tyler asks, falling back onto the dock and knocking his head. "Ow, damn it!"
"Careful, buddy." Duncan snickers. "But hell if I know. You know when Gwen was eliminated first episode? I wanted to tell her something. Tell her that I think I'm also into dudes. And that dude became Trent. Damn, I tried to make it work but he was the first guy I'd ever seriously considered being a thing with. The whole time I think I led him on, cause I was still in love with Gwen. And then I was a total dick about it, and forced him to volunteer himself for elimination." Duncan says softspokenly. He swallows, nervously fiddling with his pants' pockets.
"Bro...that's rough. I mean bro, that's so wild." Tyler slurs. "You know, with Alejandro and I...that was the best...but it was a mess. A whole ass mess. He was totally using me, but honestly bro...I totally was into him."
"Oh yeah?" Duncan prods, rolling over to face Tyler.
"Hell yeah." Tyler giggles. "Outside of Lindsay, I never had many friends or nothing. He made me feel totally appreciated. And bro...the things he did to me felt great. Until him, I've never had anything up my - "
"I'm gonna shut you up right now." Duncan interrupts. "I don't need to hear that, really. So what's up with you and Lindsay now?"
"Bro, I have no idea!" Tyler sighs, rolling on his side. "I do still like her...and she's cool, and funny and super sweet. But Alejandro messed things up...like...totally big time. I wanna' get back to how we were bro, but...it's too much I think. It's totally weird cause like, I don't know. I've never been into dudes. But I like them."
"Me neither, man. It's wild how you can find something you like...like...without even realizing you like it. You know?" Duncan asks, leaning closing towards Tyler.
"I know." Tyler agrees, moving closer towards Duncan.
The two stare into each other's eyes. Two former enemies, seemingly bonding over the wild confusion and misunderstandings of their own sexualities. Duncan; holding resentment upon himself for not understanding his own desires. And Tyler; wracked with guilt thinking he might have been wrong about who he was this entire time. They come closer to each other, sharing a brief kiss. They immediately pull away, and stand up; both of them nearly toppling over.
"I'm gonna...take a shower now...or something." Tyler says, pointing over towards the mess hall.
"Yeah, I'm gonna hit the hay. I'm beat as hell." Duncan says, motioning towards the Elimination Pit.
The two walk down the docks together, and before they head their separate ways, they share a fleeting glance.
Duncan:
"I'm too messed up right now to be in the Confessional...but what, what the hell just happened? Tyler? You've got to be kidding me? He's a total idiot. But damnit, he gets me. He knows what I'm going through. I guess that's...attractive or something."
Tyler:
"Bro! Bro! BRO! Duncan? Bro, what the hell. I was all on the Lindsay train and riding it hard but...Duncan?! Bro! I've never known someone who like...gets what I'm going through. It's not like I can tell Lindsay any of this stuff. Aw, crap. Here we go again."
Dawn approaches the Gophers' cabin; loud sobs from Lindsay coming inside. Dawn cautiously enters, to find Lindsay hiding under the covers of one of the top bunks. Dawn slowly steps towards Lindsay, examining and processing the aura of emotions emitting from her.
"Pink. And murky brown." Dawn says, her calming voice silencing Lindsay's wails. "You're a lover, who appreciates the material things life has to offer; but you're deeply in love. However, you're afraid to let go. There's changes you never anticipated, and they scare you." Dawn tells Lindsay.
"Oh my gosh...you're so smart." Lindsay sniffles, peeking her head out from under the covers. "I do love material things. Like my pink lip gloss, and my pink nail polish...and my pink boots!"
"I think you might be missing the point of my reading." Dawn states, climbing up onto the bunk with Lindsay. "Don't listen to Anne Maria. She is one filled with her own personal anger, fueled by her desire for attention and fame. She'll say whatever she can to put others down."
"She said like, so many awful things. What am I even supposed to think?" Lindsay asks, crawling out of the tear stained covers. "Tyler and I have been super good lately, and I thought I finally had him back. But I'm scared I'm going to lose him again."
"I know you are, but you have to know you can't control anything. If you try and control the situation, it could lead to disastrous consequences! You must trust the stars and cosmos to handle it all. If it is meant to be, it will be!" Dawn explains. "So cheer up Lindsay, you have a bright future."
"Aw, thanks Dawn!" Lindsay smiles, hugging Dawn tightly. "You've made me feel so much better!"
Lindsay hops up on the bunk, and attempts to jump off. Her feet get wrapped up in the sheets, and she tumbles off the bed; plummeting right through the cabin floor.
Dawn:
"Tyler is confused. He doesn't know what he truly wants, and Lindsay has to understand that he has to explore what is right for him as an individual. It may hurt her, but if Tyler finds himself and learns what he really desires romantically, and sexually, then there can be peace. The ambiguity is what is causing Lindsay to feel this pain, as they've been partners since the first season of Total Drama. I don't want anyone to feel any pain, but we must trust the stars."
Lindsay:
"Dawn is so cool! She's so witchy! But like, without the poison apples and bad hair. I hope she's right though. If Tyler really loves me and wants to be with me, he'll choose to be with me! And if not, I'll just have to move on. Can I even do that? I moved on from eighth grade after three years, so I know I can!"
The night passes and the morning rises. The contestants all make their way to the mess hall for their expectantly disgusting breakfast. Tyler slogs up the stairs to the mess hall, clearly still feeling the effects from his first ever time smoking. Duncan passes by him, chuckling. Lindsay follows behind with Dawn, giving her a worried look. Dawn smiles at Lindsay, and the two girls link arms and head inside. As Brick starts up the stairs to go inside, Eva grabs him and drags him out into the woods. This catches the attention of Blaineley, who knows something is up. She looks around for any potential puppets, and spies Sadie. Though they may have fallen out, Blaineley knows Sadie is one who is easily to control. Before Sadie can go inside, Blaineley grips her by the wrist and walks her down to the docks; unnoticed.
"What are you doing?!" Sadie yells, tearing free of Blaineley's grip.
"Eva and Brick are up to something. You're going to find out." Blaineley states.
"Why would I ever help you? I know what you're all about." Sadie says.
"Because..." Blaineley begins, a plan of manipulating brewing in her devious mind. "...I think they're trying to vote you off!"
"What?!" Sadie gasps, immediately falling into Blaineley's trap.
"It's true! They've been so secretive. During the challenge the other day, they kept whispering and I heard your name brought up. I would go see for myself, but they're onto to me. If it's you, they'll never expect it." Blaineley lies. "If you don't find out, I might not be able to help keep you on the team! I know we aren't in our girls' alliance anymore, but you shouldn't be unfairly voted off!"
"But that's what you're trying to do to everyone else." Sadie angrily responds.
"Oh, okay. Don't go see what they're talking about. If their plan comes true, you'll be out of here." Blaineley says, walking off.
"Fine!" Sadie caves. "I'll do it."
With that, Sadie walks off to go find Eva and Brick in the woods. She cautiously sneaks around, hoping to not exactly stumble upon them. She hears muffled whispers, and slowly follows the sound. In a clearing, she sees the two. Sadie quickly ducks down, hiding behind a bush.
"Blaineley thinks she's running this alliance now. It's time that I take control." Eva angrily whispers to Brick. She looks around, making sure there isn't a soul in sight. "For today's challenge, we are going to lose to get that has-been, never-was off this show! Once she's down, all her idiot followers will crumble to their knees, and we can pick them off one by one. Bridgette has to go. She's a trader, and a liar! Beth is a moronic followers, LeShawna is a loudmouth and Harold is a gullible idiot. Sadie is actually worth something without Katie, so we'll keep her around. We'll also need Ezekiel for votes."
"Would it not be wiser to eliminate Blaineley's followers first? I feel like it might be more satisfying for you to...how did you say it? 'Watch the ice princess melt'?" Brick asks.
"You're right. I'll enjoy watching her little castle crumble. We'll start by picking off Bridgette, Beth, LeShawna and Harold. By that point, no one will be in my way of destroying her." Eva says.
"Destroying her? Isn't that a bit extreme?" Brick nervously questions.
"She has to go!" Eva screams, punching a nearby tree; causing it to tumble to the ground. "This is my plan and my alliance. It's what I want. Got it?!" Eva yells, grabbing Brick by his shirt.
"Yes ma'am!" Brick swoons, leaning in for a kiss. Eva rolls her eyes, accepting the kiss.
"Let's go. We have a challenge we have to lose." Eva says.
There's a rustle, and the two whip around. They watch as Sadie scurries out of the bushes and runs away. She hustles as fast as she can until she reaches the docks. She collapses to her knees, out of breath. Blaineley looks down at her, waiting for her response.
"Any day now." Blaineley says.
"They're going to eliminate our team...and then you!" Sadie pants. "But they didn't say anything about eliminating me or Ezekiel."
"Interesting. Guess I was wrong!" Blaineley states. "You can go now, I have some business to attend to."
Sadie:
"I totally think like, Blaineley lied to me to get me to spy! I'm mad, but at least I'm out of all the drama and stuff! There's no way I'm going to get eliminated by this crazy alliance war! Katie, if you're watching, I love and miss you!"
Eva:
"So Blaineley is sending out spies? Typical! I don't care if she knows. By the time she tries to do anything about it, she'll be gone."
Brick:
"Eva let me kiss her! How cool is that? I guess you could say we're taking our relationship to the next level. I should surprise her with a romantic date!"
Blaineley arrives at Chris' trailer, stopping before she crosses the hidden camera facing the door. She walks over to the camera, and rips it out of its hiding spot; breaking it. Chris steps out of the trailer, and before he can react - Blaineley shoves him back inside, closing and locking the door behind her.
"Blaineley..." Chris mutters, stepping away from her. "Will you leave me alone?"
"Do we still have a deal?" Blaineley asked. "You're going to follow what I demand?" she asks, pushing him into his master suite styled bedroom.
"You know what Blaineley, it doesn't matter what you do. I have enough money to pay you, I can get out any lawsuit. Even with your fake rape claims you plan to make." Chris replies. "And do you know how messed up that is? Totally twisted. There are so many people affected by these things, and you're going to take advantage of it by lying?!"
"Oh c'mon Chris. Don't be like that. Just do what I say. No if's, and's or..." Blaineley says, grabbing Chris' hand and slapping it onto her own butt. "...or butt's."
"B-B-Blaineley...what are you doing?!" Chris cries anxiously, trying to free his hand. Blaineley holds his hand in place, forcing him to squeeze her.
"If you listen to me Chris..." Blaineley begins, as she slowly unzips the back of her dress. "I can make it worth your while." Blaineley let her dress fall to the ground, revealing her black, laced lingerie. "Don't tell me you're going to pass this up." Blaineley saunters towards Chris, and shoves him onto the bed. "I'm sorry I had to get so nasty. I'll make it worth your while...by being nasty." she chuckles, sliding her hands up his legs.
"BLAINELEY!" Chris screams, pushing Blaineley off of him. She squeals, falling off the bed and onto the floor. "You need to stop it! I won't do that with you. Ever!"
"Sure you will. Think of it as an incentive for dutifully protecting me from my team." Blaineley says. "They're staging a massive plot to overthrow me, or something. And with you in my corner, I'll be unstoppable. But, if you don't protect me, I now have two instances where you've crossed the line...and done things." she goes on. "But, if you're ever willing to...consumate, I'll be willing."
Blaineley:
"With this plan, I can basically tell Chris who to keep on the show and who to get rid of. Beth, Eva, Brick, LeShawna and Bridgette all have to go. If I get rid of Brick, I know Eva won't have anyone to back her up. Getting her weird lover off the show will destroy her. But if I start getting rid of Beth and people like that, I can get rid of the unnecessary idiots. After all, it's me, Ezekiel and Sadie against Eva and Brick, against Bridgette, Beth and LeShawna. As for Harold? I have no problem puppeteering him."
Duncan sits at his team's table, visibly annoyed most of his teammates. In truth, there's nothing he wish he could do more at the moment than skip out on the challenge and smoke, but surely that'd lead to his instant elimination by his teammates. Anne Maria is the bane to his existence, constantly screaming and acting like a queen bee. Sam blabs nonstop about video games and things only he knows. Izzy is a literal loon, who Duncan sees as a nuisance, although he periodically enjoys her wild shenanigans. He doesn't mind Lindsay, but to him, talking to her is like talking to a brick wall. All he really sees as viable options for friends are Tyler...and Dawn. Dawn sits down next to him, only having a cup of tea for breakfast.
"Hey what's your name again?" Duncan asks, looking at Dawn. "Something like...named after the moon?"
"My name is Dawn." Dawn answers. "We've been on the same team for a while. I feel as if it's only respectful you known my name."
"You kinda' look like that chick from that wizard movies." Duncan observes. "She's kinda' like you. Yeah, you guys are both like moon girls or something."
"Actually, I am an aura reading, nature loving individual. I can also speak to animals." Dawn explains, sipping her tea.
"Uh huh...so is that witchcraft?" Duncan asks, slightly put off.
"No. It's a science. Here, let me read your aura." Dawn offers; crossing her legs, closing her eyes and taking a deep breath. Duncan shifts his eyes around the mess hall, a bit uncomfortable with whatever Dawn was doing. "Oh my." Dawn mutters.
"What?" Duncan asks, trying not to let his genuine anxiety slip out.
"Your aura is a dark red, mixed with a greenish blue. You're a person who is a little more reserved but have a lot of anger hidden within you. Anger from past mistakes and things you have done. It's anger that will come out one day, in the worst of ways." Dawn says.
Duncan uneasily nods. Just then, Tyler sits down with his breakfast. Dawn shifts her eyes between the two boys, and then back at Duncan. Duncan rolls his eyes, having enough of Dawn's cryptic readings and observations.
"Dude, this is great!" Tyler cheers, shoveling the breakfast in his mouth. "This tastes so good!"
"Does it actually, or are you still zooted?" Duncan chuckles, skeptical of Tyler's enthusiasm for Chef's usually disgusting meals.
"Bro, seriously, try it!" Tyler says, handing his spoon to Duncan. Duncan shrugs, taking a bite of the food.
"Holy crap, that's off the chain!" Duncan exclaims. "Chef has seriously stepped up his game."
"I know right!" Lindsay cheers, sitting down at the table. "This is so, so yummy! Right in my tummy! I hope this doesn't have too many carbs, cause I really need to lose some weight."
"You...do?" Dawn asks, looking at Lindsay's outrageously slender figure.
"Yeah! I mean, you're so committed. Only drinking tea? Lucky!" Lindsay says.
"It's chamomile. It calms be down and allows me to harness my energy. If you don't mind, I'm going to get more." Dawn says, excusing herself from the table and passing by Sam; who's invested in some video game magazine he brought with him.
"Did she read your era too?" Lindsay asks Duncan.
"Huh? Oh. Yup." Duncan answers, continuing to share Tyler's breakfast. "Bunch a crap about red and blue. It's all a bunch of mumbo-jumbo magic crap I don't care about."
"She read mine last night, and she was totally right about it! She's like, my favorite witch!" Lindsay says. "So...what did you two do last night?" Lindsay asks, causing Tyler and Duncan to instantly freeze.
"Linds, it was wild!" Tyler starts. "We went to the docks and s - "
"Swam." Duncan interrupts. "Swam in the ocean. It was hot as hell and we needed to cool down."
"I'll say, it was scorching!" Izzy chimes in, plopping down next to Lindsay. "Hotter than that fire I caused at the elementary school! True story!" Izzy laughs. Duncan widens his eyes, and gets up to get some breakfast.
Duncan:
"Lindsay and Dawn. They know something, I'll say that. With Dawn having this freaky insight into whoever, I should probably cool it down with Tyler. I mean, it's not like anything really happened. I just don't need more crap spreading around like it did with Trent. I mean, I was sharing Tyler's breakfast and all. Whatevs."
Dawn:
"Duncan has a deep rage inside of him caused form betrayal and other bad things in his past. I know he's had some emotional trauma from his brief and very awkward relationship with Trent. He also has these palpable mixed feelings for Tyler. I feel Duncan poses a threat to our team and he must go before he does something destructive. There's something dangerous about him."
Tyler:
"Bro, my head still feels light as heck! But...you think Lindsay knows something? She seemed kinda' curious. I guess it's a good thing Duncan shut me up. But how sweet was that? Me sharing my food with him? I mean, it's not a big deal or whatevs but...whoa."
Lindsay:
"The game is so small now. There's like no one left, like at all. I like need to figure this out and be super smart. Tyler and I would a good of a team together! Our alliance will be really strong. Like Ava's! But ours will be better-er! I'm basically wanting to strategizing to make it to the final two with Tyler! It will be super cool. But when we get that far, what will happen? Do I have to vote him off?! What if he votes for me?! There's only three of us!"
"Guys, I have an idea!" Lindsay says to Izzy and Tyler. "What if we form an alliance? We could work together! Wouldn't that be so fun!" Lindsay cheers.
"Let's do it bruh! We could totally work together!" Tyler agrees.
"I totally wanna' work together guys it would be so much fun we could totally win." Izzy says. "Lindsay, remember when I was in Heather's alliance for one day?"
"No..." Lindsay shakes her head.
"Hey, you think we should ask Duncan to join in?" Tyler suggests.
"Uh..." Lindsay thinks, trying to deflect. "I was thinking we were the strongest members of our team..." she pauses, considering Dawn's words from the other night. "...sure!" she reluctantly agrees. "What harm can he do?" she nervously giggles.
With a brand new alliance being formed, another one is being worked on; in the Kitchen. Chef paces around DJ, contemplatively tapping his chin. With not utilizing DJ much, Chef knows he has to get his act together. How could they interfere with challenges? How could they speed up the elimination process faster? What were all the ways the show could come to a rapid end, thus getting Chef his money.
"Chef, we gotta' stop this now!" DJ crieds "It ain't right and I don't think I should been messin' with the game in any way."
"You wanna' know somethin'?" Chef mutters. DJ looks up worrisomely at Chef.
"W-what?" DJ asks timidly.
"No one likes you!" Chef screams. "No one's asked about you! No one's looked for you! No one gives a rat's ass about you! Which just gives you more of a reason to win the money for yourself. I can find a way to get you back in the game. We just have to wait until the time is right. I'm lettin' you cook my meals for everyone, with your special spice. That's our trade off, so stop complainin'!"
"I thought you said I'd enter the game at the next merge? After MaMa supposedly gets better?" DJ asks.
"I got wind we got another contestants reentering the show because of that Aftermath mess. And the next show they do, they're supposed to let another two in. That's when you'll come in." Chef explains.
While Chef continus to explain his secrets and his plans, he has no clue Blaineley is listening to them. She stands by the accidentally left open back door to the Kitchen. Blaineley smiles, scheming up another one of her sick games. She gently closes the door and sneaks back around to the mess hall. She sees Chris, walking up the steps to the mess hall; ready to announce the challenge for the day. She rushes over to Chris, pulling him away from the mess hall and around to the side of the building.
"I heard three more contestants are apparently going to come back on the show?" Blaineley asks, raising an eyebrow.
"Yeah. One of them won the first Aftermath game, and there's going to be two more on the next one." Chris tells her.
"Well that isn't going to happen." Blaineley said. "If they join, that adds three more people. Three more people away from me getting closer to my prize money. I won't have that. Either you don't let them on at all, or you let them on - but kick off five or six people to counter it." she demands. She, in no way is going to let three more people join the show. That way, DJ won't be able to blend in and sneak back into the show, meaning his alliance will fail with Chef. "I highly recommend you don't let them back in the game, or else."
