Chris: Last time on Total Drama Island: the campers had to face a rude awakening from yours truly followed by a tiring 20 kilometre run to a turkey buffet. After nearly putting themselves into food comas, they were met with their next challenge: the Awake-a-Thon! Some campers lasted a long time, some not so much, and one was sabotaged by his own teammate. In the end, the start of a scary alliance was the downfall of Josef, who was met with his "doom." What will happen next? Will the campers continue to turn on each other? Who will be eliminated? Find out in tonight's explosive episode of Total. Drama. ISLAND!
The camera opens up on the island and recalls the events of the previous episode, beginning with Chris waking up all the campers. The campers are then shown running, with Gene collapsing at some point. Next, the buffet appears again, followed by the campers on the floor with full bellies. Then, it shows them sitting around the campfire area, Percival falling asleep first, and Wendell and Annalise making their alliance and sabotaging Josef. Finally, the campfire ceremony is shown with Josef leaving the island. The camera then cuts to Chris as he finishes his monologue and the opening plays. As soon as it's finished, the camera goes to the Bass girls cabin, where the campers are just waking up.
Elicia: Ahhhhh, good moooooorning Bass!
The other girls groan as Elicia sings to them. Annalise walks over to her angrily.
Annalise: You don't have to sing every sentence, you know that right?
Elicia: I find it soothes both myself and those around me.
Harriett (Confessional): I try not to be rude to other people, but when you've just stayed awake for a long amount of time and still haven't recovered from it, Elicia's theatrics can be a bit much.
Harriett: I'm sorry, you think that's soothing? I feel like a rooster has snuck its way in here and has been screaming at us!
Elicia is taken aback by this and her eyes well up with tears.
Peggy: Elicia, it's okay, I'm sure she didn't mean it. In fact, I think your singing is...great.
She seems to have to force that word out. Elicia wipes her tears and smiles again.
Elicia: Really?
Desiree: No doubt! But did you know that Peggy wrote in her diary that it was unbearable? I wonder what made her change her mind.
Elicia starts bawling her eyes out and runs out of the cabin, passing by Gene who was on his way to say hi.
Gene (Confessional): I wonder what that was about? I hope she's okay.
Peggy: You...read my diary!? How could you do that!?
Desiree: I was bored and it was interesting? Adoy!
She smirks and Peggy storms outside. Harriett also walks outside.
Harriett: I just need some fresh air...I'll find Elicia and apologize in a little bit- oh, hey Gene. What's up?
Gene: Oh, uh nothing I just wanted to see how you were doing. That Awake-a-Thon was brutal, huh?
Harriett: Sure was, I still have bags. I look like I'm thirty!
She holds her eyelids open and they both chuckle.
Gene: So listen, I was wondering-
He is interrupted by the blaring of Chris's voice from a megaphone.
Chris: Attention campers! Meet me at the top of the thousand foot cliff! You're challenge starts in one hour!
Harriett: Oh, snap! I better get ready for that!
She runs back into the cabin to grab her things before Gene could finish what he was saying.
Gene (Confessional): It's so hard talking to girls! I get a good start and then BAM! A megaphone intervenes! Ugh.
Some time passes, and all the campers are at the top of the cliff, including Elicia, who is still sniffling from her teammates' comments. Chris walks up to them smiling devilishly.
Chris: Campers! How you holding up? Sleep well?
They glare at him, recalling the events of the previous challenge.
Chris: I sure hope so, because we're about to start the most intense challenge yet. If you'll look behind me, you'll see a pile of junk. But this isn't just any pile of junk, inside of it, there's lots of parts! For airplanes to be precise.
The campers raise their eyebrows and a few utter some "oo"s.
Chris: This challenge is a two parter. Part one will involve digging through the junk to find the parts you'll need to build your airplane along with an instruction manual on how to do it. After both teams finish building their planes, you'll be pitting them against each other in a dogfight. The team that finishes building first will get to pick the type of ammo they use first. We've got cantaloupes, bananas, apples, and grapes. Each team will get to pick one type of ammo. You'll then be tasked with controlling your plane, via a remote, and shooting the other team out of the sky. The winners will be safe from elimination, but the losers will be sending someone home. And your challenge starts...now!
Most of the campers rush over to the pile of junk, except for Bobby, who leisurely walks over.
Bobby (Confessional): I know this is a big competition and everything, but I wanna just go at my own pace. Haven't had any issues yet, so I doubt I will anytime soon.
As the teams are digging through the pile. Harriett goes over to Elicia.
Harriett: Hey there, Elicia.
Elicia pouts and looks away from her to continue digging.
Harriett: I'm really sorry about what happened earlier, honest. I was just stressed out from a lack of sleep. I promise you, your singing doesn't sound like a rooster. I was just being mean.
Elicia: Well...alright! I accept your apology!
The two smile at each other and the camera cuts to the Gophers. Leslie is digging pretty far into the junk heap as she suddenly widens her eyes and smile, before tugging something out of it.
Leslie: I found something guys! Eeeeee!
Her teammates look over to see that she has found a fruit turret for the plane.
Evander: Yo, way to go, tutz!
Evander (Confessional): You know what's key in being the cool guy? Being slick with the ladies. Fight the fellas and take their gal.
The teams continue to dig and Lukas is the next to find something in the pile. He pulls out what appears to be the battery. His team cheers for him.
Peggy: Great work, Lukas!
Peggy (Confessional): He's so dreamy...I mean, helpful!
Lukas smiles at her and goes back to digging. Wendell looks over from his teams side.
Wendell (Confessional): That Lukas is going to be a bit of a problem. He's too friendly with his team and he's proven that he's very capable in getting them to cooperate. I'm gonna have to do something to show them that he isn't that great, but what?
Colleen is digging near the top of the pile while shouting down at her teammates below her.
Colleen: Make sure you use a prime scooping motion, so as to cover as much space as- oh, what do we have here?
She pulls an instruction manual from the debris and her team looks up in excitement. She tosses it near the turret as the campers return to digging. Meanwhile, Wendell slowly sneaks over to where Lukas is and quickly grabs the battery from them. After he returns to his team, he pretends he's found another part and puts it in their pile. Lukas then looks around, only to find that the battery is missing just as they have found theirs. He then glares at Wendell.
Lukas (Confessional): "Wendell? More like Weasel."
Some more time passes and the teams have found most of the parts that they need to build the planes. The Bass are searching hastily for another battery.
Lyle: I don't get it. You found the battery Lukas, where could it have gone?
Lukas: "I'm pretty sure the other team stole it."
Duke: Steal from the king! You must be joking!
Duke walks over to the other team in a rage. He points at the battery in their pile of things.
Duke: You best be giving that back to its rightful owner, or the king of the ring is gonna show you no mercy.
Colleen: Oh, I know you aren't insisting we stole your battery. The quiet one must've misplaced it.
Just at that moment, Claudia pulls the other battery out of the junk and looks over at the others. She walks over to Duke and hands it to him.
Caludia: I don't think we stole yours, but you can have this one.
Duke looks at her confused as her team freaks out.
Roxy: Why would you give them the last part they need!? We were almost finished looking!
Claudia: Because we didn't need it. Isn't that the right thing to do?
Percival: Technically it is, but they are no ahead of us.
He points at the Bass, where Duke has returned with the part and Gene is taking control of the manual.
Leslie: It's okay guys! We can still win this! We just gotta-
Just then, Leslie pulls the final part they need from the pile, the wings. The team huddles up and gets to building right away, though Gene's technology skills are proving to be way more problematic than they could've thought.
Gene: Duke, you're the strongest. I need you flip the plane over so we can tinker with the bottom and add the turret.
Duke: Normally the king doesn't listen to anyone, but since you admitted his strength, he'll help you out!
He flips the planes body over as per Gene's request.
Gene: Annalise, you've got the smallest hands. Can you reach into the plane and pull that black cable out.
Annalise: Sorry, I don't take orders from people who look like they belong in a basement playing board games all night.
Gene: ...ouch, that's painfully accurate.
Elicia: My hands are tiny, I'll get it!
She goes to pull the cable out, but her hand gets stuck. She tugs and tugs, but she can't seem to free her hand. Finally, she gives one big tug and frees herself, while ripping the cable in two in the process. Her teammates gasp.
Elicia: Uh oh...
Elicia (Confessional): I really didn't mean to! I was just trying to help!
Gene wraps the wires in the cable together as best as he can before the team gets to finishing building the plane. Meanwhile, the Gophers are catching up due to the mishap. Colleen is, once again, trying to take charge of her team.
Colleen: Don't be to fidgety! We don't want the thing to break!
Francis: Uh, Colleen? I think maybe I should be in charge of this operation. I know a little bit about rc planes so...
Colleen: You dare question my leadership?
Claudia: Relax, Colleen. He's just trying to help.
Colleen: You mean like how you helped them by giving them the battery? You might as well just waltz over there and help them build their plane!
Claudia shies away from the conversation, realizing that everyone is against her.
Claudia (Confessional): I guess there isn't any place for manners on this show, huh?
After some more time passes, the teams are essentially neck and neck with their planes. The music starts to get intense while showing each team trying to finish the first part of the challenge. Eventually, Francis screws the final bolt into their plane, finishing just before the Bass.
Chris: And the Gophers have finished the plane before the Bass! You win the first part of the challenge!
The Gophers cheer as the Bass sigh about being in second place.
Chris: So, Gophers, which fruit do you want for your plane.
The team huddles up and starts brainstorming.
Hellen: The best option would probably be the apple. The cantaloupe would wear the turret down too quickly and fall too fast and the grapes won't even leave a mark on the thing.
Francis: Agreed, and the bananas may leave some dents, but an apple will hit much harder than them.
Colleen: Alright, Chris. We chose the apples!
Chris: Works for me, have at it. Bass, you're up next.
Annalise: Well, obviously we pick the cantaloupes right? They're super heavy.
Duke: Oh yeah, and heavy means big damage. Chris, the king and his team pick the cantaloupes.
Both teams grab their fruit and begin to load the turrets. While the Gophers are able to fit 20 apples into theirs, the Bass realize that only 4 cantaloupes will fit without getting too cramped.
Lyle: Chris? What do we do if we run out of ammo in the turret while the plane is flying.
Chris: You can always fly the plane back over to your team, but the other team can still huck fruit at you while you're reloading. You might wanna be careful about when you decide to shoot and reload.
The Bass look at each other, concerned for whats about to go down. Chris walks back over to the campers and looks at their planes.
Chris: Looks like both teams are pretty much good to go. On my mark, get set, fly!
Gene takes control of his teams plane while Francis does his. Both of the planes fly into the sky and Veronica quivers in fear. Wendell sees this and smirks.
Wendell (Confessional): Veronica is pretty much a handicap for our team, which makes things great for me. I'll have to keep her around as long as I can. As long as I'm surrounded by useless people, I'll be the only one eligible to win.
Veronica (Confessional): I may also be scared of rc planes, cars, and boats...it's a long story.
Roxy: Hey there, Veronica. It's alright. Here, I'll stand next to you, you can hold onto my arm again if you want.
Veronica kinda smiles under her hoodie and latches onto Roxy's arm. Wendell sees this and suddenly frowns.
Wendell (Confessional): Now, Roxy is an issue. I fear that if she stays around Veronica too long, she'll get over some of her fears. Just another pawn I'll have to crush before they get to close to victory.
Francis aims carefully at the enemy plane and fires the first apple, directly hitting one of the wings and denting it, causing it to shuffle midair.
Francis: Bullseye!
Francis (Confessional): I was the president of the rc plane club at my school, I know all the ins and outs about these puppies.
Gene tries to aim at the other plane, but when he fires the cantaloupe it almost immediately falls into the water.
Harriett: Maybe we shouldn't have picked the melons...
Annalise: That makes no sense! How can it fall like that!
Francis fires a couple more apples at their plane, one misses, but the other hits their turret and causes it to slightly fall, only being held on by the cables its connected to. The Bass gasp, realizing that their turret is about to fall off. Gene tries to fire another cantaloupe at the Gophers, but the turret is unresponsive, making him panic.
Peggy: Oh no, what do we do now?
Suddenly, an idea comes to Gene's mind.
Gene: Guys, I think Elicia may have won this challenge for us.
Elicia: Me? But I ripped the cable...if anything I ruined it for us.
Gene: You did rip the cable, yes, but that may be our ticket to victory. We just need to get hit one more time.
Duke: Get hit! Are you crazy? We'll lose our turret!
Gene: That's the plan.
Gene flies the pane in a taunting manner, trying to get the Gophers to shoot at it. Francis notices this and gets irritated. He fires more apples at the plane, one of them hitting the other wing. The plane shakes even more, clearly about to fall into pieces.
Desiree: It's gonna break! We have to do something!
Gene: Come on...
Francis fires another apple, directly hitting the turret again and causing it to fall even more, now just dangling by the one ripped cable.
Gene: Now!
Gene flies the plane over the other team's and the turret falls off, landing on the other plane and causing it to sink into the lake below. The Gophers look baffled as they realize what's happened.
Chris: Wow! I did not see that coming! With that, the Killer Bass win! You guys are safe from elimination! Gophers, meet me at the campfire, you've got some voting to do!
The Bass cheer for each other while the Gophers walk down the cliff, defeated.
Harriett: That was awesome, Gene!
Gene blushes as Harriett hugs him while the rest of the team claps for him.
Gene: Thanks, I uh...
Harriett: Oh no! I left my bug spray back at the cabin! I gotta go!
Harriett runs down the hill before Gene can continue saying his piece, causing him to sigh while he and the rest of the campers slowly walk down the hill as well. The camera then cuts to campfire ceremony, where the Gophers are seated. Chris walks up with a plate of 9 marshmallows.
Chris: Gophers, you failed in the challenge today, meaning you're faced with eliminating a teammate. The camper that doesn't receive one of these marshmallows will have to return to the dock of shame to catch the boat of losers. And you can never come back. EVER! You've all cast your votes. The first marshmallow goes to...Francis.
He exhales, realizing he is safe from elimination, and goes to collect his marshmallow.
Chris: Next up, Wendell...Percival...Veronica...Leslie...Hellen...Evander...and Colleen.
As their teammates go to collect their marshmallows, Roxy and Claudia look at each other, realizing they are the only ones still seated.
Chris: Claudia, you helped the other team today, causing a great upset. Roxy, I'm not quite sure what you did, but here you are anyway! And the last marshmallow goes to...Roxy!
Roxy smiles and grabs her marshmallow as Claudia gets up angrily.
Claudia: I was just being nice! I can't believe that none of you would've done the same thing. Sorry I wanted to help people you no good, bad-smelling, garbage eating, poorly dressing, dirt-for-brains!
She covers her mouth after realizing what she has said.
Chris: Nice rant and all, but you still gotta go to the boat.
Claudia sadly walks to the boat of losers and gets on board, sailing away from the island as her team looks peeved from what she said.
Claudia: I guess I lost...but it was amazing! I got to do fun things for once! Mother is never going to believe this!
The boat disappears into the night and the screen fades to black.
