The second half of the episode begins with Amber being wheeled into a medical tent by a black doctor, her gurney passed another one with an intern in a body cast. Noah sat to Jeroboam's right. He was writing on a clipboard and glanced up as Amber entered.
"What happened to you?" He deadpanned.
"Electric eels." Amber managed to tell him as she was shocked.
Noah rolled his eyes. "Seriously I don't know watt Chris was thinking."
Amber chuckled as she was shocked again. "Ow. laughing hurts. So what are you doing here?"
"I've been making sure the interns didn't get injured in the crash. Chris was extremely lucky, against all odds the interns are fine. Traumatized, but fine." The cynic remarked noting something down on his clipboard.
"What about this guy?" Amber asked, pointing to the intern next to her and getting shocked once again.
"He got injured testing a challenge. Technically that's within the bounds of his job, so Chris isn't liable. The show's probably paying for his treatment though." Noah explained.
Amber glanced at Jeroboam. "How's he doing?"
"That concussion isn't going away anytime soon. I hate to say it, but he's probably going to need an actual hospital." Noah told her. As though saying it had made it happen, a hole was sawed through the ceiling. Medical professionals came in the door and attached cables to his gurney.
"We're airlifting him to a hospital for treatment." The medic explained.
"What? But I haven't gotten to say goodbye!" Amber exclaimed as Jeroboam was lifted away. "Jero! I know you can't hear me but I'll miss you!"

Chris and Chef stand on the shore of a beach with the contestants facing them. Chris began to explain the next part of the challenge. "Team Misfit, as winners of the first part of the challenge, you've also won this advantage for challenge number 2." Chris gestured to Chef who pointed at a helmet on his head.
"Helmets?" Patricia swallowed. The Misfit trio looked at each other.
"Okay what now?" Jeremiah asked.
"Oh just a little something I like to call: The bobsled of death!" Chris told them "Ta Da!"
The contestants turned to see a large, poorly built track. It began with a sharp drop down, followed by a short incline, then another drop, then a massive incline and sharp drop to a jump, that ended on a large loop that had Chris' face on the side,
"Oh no!" Rhys gasped.
"Well that's concerning." Alejandro remarked.
"This is gonna be fun!" Corbyn exclaimed.
"Yeah the intern who tested it will be out of commish for," Chris glanced at Chef, "10 months was it?" They grinned at each other, and the intern from earlier is briefly shown.
"We can't afford bobsleds, so you're gonna ride longboards in teams of two, bobsled style, down Chef's track and into the pool." An empty pool is shown at the end of the track.
"Each team gets three runs, fastest total time wins. Ready? " Chris asked. None of the contestants looked ready, except Corbyn who was nodding his head eagerly. Nathan seemed a bit excited as well.

Back at the medical pavilion Amber was distraught. "I never got to tell him how much he meant to me. I mean, he's been by my side since the beginning. Helping me keep a clear head."
"Well he was always likely to leave eventually, There is only one winner after all." Noah remarked.
"I know, but still. I wish I could convey my sadness." Amber sighed. That was when the bell went off. "Seriously?"
"Yep," Chris told her, popping his head into the building. "This emotionally demented moment sounds like a song! So it's time for the two of you to sing!"
"The two of us?! Chris I am not a contestant!" Noah scowled, dropping his clipboard.
"Yeah, but your contract says you're required to be a backup singer if there is no one else, and the host requests it. I mean you could break contract, but-"
"Okay I'll sing, just shut up!" Noah told him.
(Song 12: Oh my Jero)
A tropical beat begins the song, We focus on Amber as she begins to sing, "I miss the way, Jero would greet me," A rippling effect takes us to a picturesque scene of Amber and Jero in a field, the art style is as though a child has drawn it. Jero walks to Amber and gives her a fist bump. "by offering me his knuckles."
The two start to walk together, when a statue of Georgia comes up. They began to argue, cartoonish thought bubbles with scribbles appearing over their heads. ""And though there were times, when we'd disagree,"
Amber and Jero continue forward as the thought bubbles disappeared, a male voice accompanies this. Noah: Ooh ooh
The two hug each other as hearts appear around them. "we made amends rather quickly."
As the two continue, pictures representing Jero's past actions as shown in the background. First Jero in the red hamster ball from the Japan challenge, then Jero in the lederhosen, and then Jero rowing a boat as he had last challenge. "Oh, Jero! Oh, Jero! I...I miss you so!"
Amber's traveling companion gets hit by a piece of plane debris, birds appear around his head in a cartoonish display of a concussion as he falls over. "Oh, my Jero, my lovely Jero. Why did you have to go?"
An ambulance arrives and Amber continues sadly. "It's not like he had a choice." Noah remarked.
A thought bubble with Jero smiling appears over Amber's head, then she reaches a background picture of her and Jero laughing, we know because of the laugh lines around them. "I miss his smile, and the way we often laughed." Amber pauses to look at the image then walks away with a sigh bubble. "because his jokes were quite funny. They really were."
Amber continues until she reaches a picture of her and Jero sitting on one of the economy class' benches. Talk bubbles are over their heads. "I miss the way, we'd often talk at night,"
Noah:Ooh Ooh.
Amber's talk bubble fills with random symbols over and over, showing her getting into the conversation. "Cause I could always speak freely."
Amber sadly walks off but brightens when she sees Jero on the other end of the field. She runs towards him. "Oh, Jero! Oh, Jero! I...I miss you so!"
She reaches him and grabs him in a hug. "Oh, my Jero, my lovely Jero. Why did you have to go?" Jero vanishes from her arms in a puff of smoke, Amber looks around in confused before hanging her head in resignation. ""Why did you have to go?"
As the song ends we return to Amber in the infirmary still looking sad.

The other contestants are shown are the top of the track, Leilani, and Patricia for Misfit, Ed and Rhys for Chris, and Alejandro with Veronica. The Spainard turns to Rhys, "Aw Rhys if only you were on my team, with your leadership, you'll be impossible to beat." Rhys blushed as Ed glared at Alejandro.
"Excuse me? Why are you giving him a pep talk?!" Veronica asked.
"You catch more flies with honey than vinegar, as I'm sure you know." He replied.
Chris and Chef are now in lounge chairs next to the pool that is the races finish. Drinking water. "Isn't this better than being mad? So we have to wait for a cash influx before we can jet. Great! Make the interns fill the pool and it's a paid vacation bro!" They clink their glasses together. Chris lifted a red megaphone and called out. "Round 1 Team Victory!" We see that Alejandro and Veronica are in position at the mouth of the track, The socialite gripped her teammate closely. "You can steer right?"
"Don't worry, we'll be fine." Veronica gave him a doubtful look. Chris set off a starting horn from his megaphone. Team Victory flew down the track, things went well until the top of the large incline which sent them through the air, they landed safely, then finished the track,
"46.57 seconds is the time to beat!" Chris announced. Team I am so hunky dory dreamy hot?"
Rhys and Ed are in position both looking nervous though Ed was trying to hide it. "Hey 'glorious leader' you know anythin' about steering one of these?"
"I have no idea. I hate sports." Rhys admitted. The starting horn is set off and the two boys speed down the track. Unlike team Victory they do not end up flying through the air at any point, this is reflected in their time.
"57.35 seconds, team Victory still leads by a healthy margin. Team Misfit?" Chris called.
We see Leilani and Patricia in position at the top. Patricia is gripping Leilani tightly. The starting horn goes off and the two go down the track at tremendous speed, flying through the air an even longer stretch of track after the incline then landing just in time for the loop before landing in the pool. Patricia screamed loudly the whole time.
After they landed Patricia continued to scream, holding on Leilani for dear life. The deadpan girl tapped her on the shoulder. "Patricia we're here."
Patricia stopped screaming to look around. "Oh."
"45.8 seconds! We have a new leader!" Chris said through his megahorn. The contestants covered their ears. "Team Misfit takes round one!"
"We're right here! You don't have use that!" Veronica scowled.
"Maybe I just like it! Round 2!"
/
Kennedy and Stafans are in position at the top of the track. "I must admit to being clueless when it comes to this type of thing. Do you know anything about it?" Stafans asked.
"Nope! But it should be fun anyway!" Kennedy told him The starting horn went off and the two went down the track, perhaps because of Stafans size and weight, they had a smooth trip. Kennedy cackled the whole way. They landed in the pool. "Whoo! Let's do that again!"
"56.5 seconds, better than team Chris' first time but not by much." Chris announced. "Team I am so wicked wicked hot!"
This time we are not shown the start of the run. Instead Corbyn and Nathan are shown going down the track. Both seem to be having a great time. Corbyn proves his skill as a skateboarder by being able to maneuver the longboard nearly perfectly. The run goes so smoothly the two land on their feet rather than crashing.
"45. 09 seconds! A new record, but will it be enough to make up for their disastrous first run?" Chris asked. "Team Misfit?"
Leilani and Jeremiah are shown on the longboard. Leilani is deadpan, but Jeremiah seems incredibly nervous. We soon find out why, as Chris sets off the megahorn. The longboard begins to veer in back. Jeremiah screamed loudly. The two end up nearly falling off the track at multiple points.
On the ground Alejandro tries to talk to Patricia. "Are you confident in your team's skill?"
Patricia looks everywhere but at Alejandro. "Y-yes?"
We hear the other two misfits crash into the pool. Jermiah is shown stumbling around, Leilani merely stands there, even though the crash clearly affected her as well. "Let's hear it for the helmet's people!" Chris said
"58.39 seconds. That's gotta hurt. Will Misfit be able to recover from that?" Chris asked. "Round 3!"
/
We see the team's at the beginning of the track once more. Alejandro with Veronica for Victory, Rhys with Ed for Chris, and Patricia with Leilani for Misfit. We focus on Alejandro and Rhys. "I wish you luck in this round."
"Thanks, you too."He smiles.
Ed glares at Alejandro. "Okay what are you up to?"
"Whatever do you mean amigo? I was merely wishing you good luck." The spaniard replied.
"Yeah, Ed there's no need to accuse him. He's done nothing wrong." Rhys scolded his teammate. Ed's glare became more defined. Alejandro smirked.
"Team Victory? Ready!" asked from below.
Alejandro and Veronica are shown at the beginning of the run. "So why are you wishing the enemy luck?"
"Simple, Ed is good at seeing through my friendly facade, but I can use that to my advantage. By giving Rhys advice, and treating him nicely I raise Ed's suspicions. Since all I am doing is being nice, Rhys doesn't take these suspicions seriously. Since Ed is clearly trying to form an alliance with him, it puts him on edge, and thus throws him off this game."
"Huh, I must admit I do find cunning incredibly attractive." Veronica said flirtatiously.
(confessional)
Veronica: Hey if I can get Alejandro's guard down, I'm going to.
Static
The megaphone goes off and the two speed down the track at great speed. They land in the pool easily.
"45.12 seconds for a three run combined total of 2 minutes and 28.19 seconds! Decent, but will it be good enough?"
Back at the top to the track Ed is in front with Rhys behind this time. The goody two shoes swallows. "You're sure you know what you're doing?"
"No, but I've gotta be better than you. You nervous?" Ed asked.
"Yeah, I kind of just want to close my eyes for this." Rhys admitted.
"Well don't let me stop you." The con artist told him.
The megaphone went off and they moved down the track at great speed. Rhys screamed and closed his eyes. Ed steered the longboard over the incline and around the loop, then, making sure Rhys still had his eyes closed, he broke a part of the track near the end.
(Confessional)
Ed: Look I need more time to work on Rhys, an' I ain't riskin' losing. Especially with Alejandro takin' an interest,
Static
They finished the race smoothly. "Ooh and team Chris lags behind with a three round total of 2 minutes and 32.46 seconds!"Chris announced. "Team Misfit?"
"Do you know how to drive this thing?" Jeremiah asked.
"No." Patricia swallowed. The megaphone's horn went off and the two sped down the track their longboard moving unsteadily as both screamed loudly. The run was already bad enough, but then they hit the broken part of the track and went flying through the air,
"Incomplete lap!" Chris called.
"But sir that's hardly fair, the track was broken." Stafans frowned.
"Eh. Not my problem. Team Victory wins!" Chris announced. Most of team Victory celebrated, but Stafans still looked upset.
An out of breath Amber arrived. "I just got cleared, though I'm still somewhat injured. "Is the challenge over?"
"Yes. and we lost. I assume Jeroboam is okay?" Leilani asked.
"He got airlifted to a hospital.: Amber told her.
"Oh." Leilani deadpanned.
/
Team Misfit is in the elimination room. Chris stands before them with Noah nearby still writing on a clipboard. "Team Misfit. Two members in one day. Sucks to be you huh?" None of team Misfit answered, all glaring at him. "Anyway. I have delicious snacks for three lucky teammates. If you do not get a bag of peanuts, you must take the drop of shame. Leilani Patricia you're safe." He announced throwing the bags at them. "Jeremiah you were no help during the first half of the challenge, and Amber you were injured during the second half. But the one going home is…" Chris paused as he usually did. He opened his mouth to utter the loser's name but was interrupted by a formal voice.
"Neither of you." Everyone turned in shock to see Stafans.
"Excuse me?" Chris questioned.
"If you'll pardon my intrusion sir. I cannot abide by this loss. The track was broken, and I do not believe it fair to Team Misfit to lose a member over such a loss. Therefore I volunteer to take the drop of shame in their place.
"Stafans! You don't have to do that!" Amber told him.
"I wish to." The large man smiled.
"Well that's unexpected but not against the rules. So Noah?" Chris said.
The cynic looked up from his clipboard. "We're on the ground Chris, just have him jump out."
"Fine." The host pouted.
Stafans jumped out the plane with a salute to the other team. We see outside the plane that he has landed on the ground. "It's not the same without the scream." Chris said wistfully. "Will we ever get off this island? Find out next time on total drama world tour!"
A/N:Bet you didn't expect that ending. I didn't expect to love all of team Misfit so much, but one of them had to go eventually and unfortunately for Jeroboam He's the only one I don't have plans for. Don't think his storyline is over though. It's going to continue in the aftermaths. Let's just say it starts with meeting an old 'friend'. Yolotsin Xochitl thank you for reviewing frequent and I hope even if you stop reviewing normal chapters you'll stick around for his aftermath plotline
As for Stafans. I knew I wanted him to leave as a self sacrifice and while I wasn't sure how to go about it at first. I knew the unfair conditions under which Team Misfit lost would make him uncomfortable. So I decided to have him forfeit here. PurpleShadowManipulator you haven't reviewed in a long while. I hope I gave Stafans a worthy elimination.
