A/N: I hope people get the pun I tried to do with the title. Even though I already had an idea of the challenge, I want to thank SuperWolfieStar for helping me have a better understanding of how to write this challenge. Enjoy!
"Last time on Total Drama Crowstillo Island," Chris said giving a summary of the previous episode. "The Kind Knight and Dangerous Dragons were enjoying the island's shore," The campers are in their bathing suits chilling. "Until it was challenge time!" In the flashback, the host explaining the rules of the challenge to both teams. "That involved each team to avoid obstacles being launched by the opposite team." The Kind Knights are seen dodging trashcans and landmines.
"The Kind Knights were victorious," Jared cheers in victory before falling into the ocean. "Thanks to Casey's over the top nonsense of blowing up the dock," Casey launches a stick of dynamite and landmines. "Makes me so proud," Casey, Janet, and Sara are discussing who to vote off. "When it came to voting off a camper, somebody framed Pixel," Pixel is confused that he is in the bottom two. "By writing a hateful song to Casey, which meant that the harpist was eliminated," Pixel is launched by Chef.
"And right after that, Christopher found out that Knick was the one who framed his friend," Christopher recognizes the writing of the letter. "What possible drama can await this episode? Find out right now on Total… Drama… Crowstillo Island!"
It is morning and the sun is not rising yet. Inside the girl's cabin, the remaining four females are sleeping in their pajamas. The door to the cabin suddenly opens slowly. Knick enters tiptoeing to the drawers. He opens them up carefully looking for something. The thing he is looking for is not in the drawers. He closes it and looks to his right, seeing Lucy awake.
The journalist tiptoes backward and heads out of the girl's cabin.
Confessional: Knick
"To make sure that you viewers don't get the wrong idea, I wasn't in the girl's cabin to look for bras," Knick stated, wearing his pajamas. "I was trying to see if one of the Dangerous Dragon members still had the note that I gave to them yesterday. I found nothing so hopefully, that means they ripped it."
Confessional: Lucy
"Thank goodness I trained myself to hear sounds when I'm asleep," Lucy said also wearing her pajamas. "I figured Knick would try to find his letter," Lucy said as she fixes her hair. "So, I hid it under my pillow. Sara gave it to me saying that Christopher believes Knick framed Pixel which makes sense. I still don't have evidence to prove him guilty, but with this new information," She takes the letter out of her hair. "Chris definitely will do something about this."
End Confessionals
The sun is up, and the remaining eight campers are eating Chef's green eggs and ham at the gran mess hall.
"I'm pretty sure eggs are not supposed to be green," Sara said using a fork to touch the eggs.
"I wish they were blue," Casey pouted. "That way the eggs can look like flowers."
Christopher takes a bite out of the ham. "This ham tastes like a brick."
"How do you know what brick tastes like?" Sara questioned him.
"Good point," Christopher responded.
At the Kind Knights table, the team is enjoying the meal rather than complaining.
"I feel so alive," Jared said happily. "I don't even care how awful this food tastes." He uses a fork to grab a green egg and starts chewing it with his mouth close.
"Pharaoh admits that you did a great job of leading yesterday," Pharaoh said.
"Yeah, I cannot wait to lead the team more," Jared exclaimed.
"Attention campers, attention campers," Chris said through speakers that are connected to the mess hall. "It's time for the merge!"
Casey and Janet begin to cheer, Sara grins, and Christopher is glad he has made it this far. Knick cleans his silver glasses smirking while Lucy and Pharaoh look confident.
Confessional: Jared
"So much for being the new team leader," Jared said mildly disappointed. "But it's not so bad. Honestly, I never thought I would make it to the merge. I didn't think I would last a single day." He admitted with surprise. "But here I am, still going strong."
Confessional: Sara
"Told you all I was going to make it to the merge." Sara gloated. "Now all I need to do is team up with the former Dangerous Dragons and I reach the final four."
Confessional: Christopher
"I must thank my former teammates for staying strong up to this point," Christopher said. "Being in the merge is a great honor and I know my uncle is proud of me. Now I just need to make sure I do not look like too much of a threat, but given how I look, it's not going to be easy."
Confessional: Janet
"This is so exciting!" Janet exclaimed joyfully. "My three older brothers always did say I will make far in Total Drama, and here I am!" She squeals excitedly.
Confessional: Casey
"Barnaby Bludiddle!" Casey exclaimed with a goofy face.
Confessional: Pharaoh
Pharaoh is not wearing his Nemes crown and instead is wearing a plain red t-shirt, blue jeans, white socks, and black Nike shoes. "Merge? That is surprising. I thought pretending to be a Pharaoh would have me eliminated in less than five days." He said. "It's more surprising that nobody has figured me out yet. Then again, Mal was able to practically fool everyone in All-Stars." He shrugs not knowing what else to say. "I guess I will just continue to act like a Pharaoh."
End Confessionals
"Enjoy exploring Crowstillo's castle because the first merge challenge is going to be another night challenge!" Chris announced through the speakers. "Everybody will meet up at the gran mess hall so the challenge can start, that is all."
The scene of the campers eating changes to Lucy walking alone through a hallway inside the castle, holding the letter that Knick used to frame Pixel.
"Even though it will annoy him, I got to get this letter to Chris as soon as possible," Lucy said to herself.
"What letter?" Knick asked across the hall. Lucy looks behind her and notices Knick is walking towards her.
"A letter about…" Lucy pondered. "The food allergies that I need to give to Chris." She lied.
"Food allergies?" Knick wondered as he finally stops walking, already at a seven feet distance between him and Lucy. "What kind of food allergies?"
"Peanuts," Lucy quickly said.
"For someone who is a detective in training," Knick said rolling his eyes. "It's very easy to know when you're lying."
"Okay fine you got me," Lucy said with defeat. She gets up close and tries to pressure point Knick's neck, but the journalist figures out her goal and he grabs her right wrist. "Uh, I was leaning in for a kiss?" She said trying to seduce him.
"Nice try," Knick said smirking and trips the DIT onto the ground. Caught off guard, Lucy drops the letter. "I will be taking this as well," Knick grabs the letter and puts in the left pocket of his trench coat. "I have clearly underestimated you, I don't how you got this but thank you."
Lucy knows she will be out of the competition unless she throws someone under the bus. With a small sigh, she says, "Sara told me Christopher wanted me to have it.".
Upon hearing this Knick helps Lucy get up. "Thanks for telling me the information." He told her to her right ear.
Casey and Janet are entering the buttery room.
"This was the place Pixel told me about where he almost got drunk," Casey told Janet as they walk inside.
"Is it really a good idea to drink before a challenge?" Janet asked feeling uneasy.
"Of course," Casey assured. She opens the lid of a barrel and finds wine inside. "That way the challenge will seem less boring. Pass me a cup." The geek passes her a cup. Casey drinks a bit and spits it out immediately.
"Ugh, this is way too warm," Casey said with her tongue out. "We need to go to the kitchen and put ice on it."
"But Chef doesn't like anybody in the kitchen except him," Janet said.
"Come on, live a little," Casey told her. "At least take two sips, that way you won't get drunk."
"Maybe we can share this with the other campers?" Janet asked quietly but her friend heard clearly.
"Of course!" Casey shouted startling the geek. "We all have to celebrate coming to the merge. First, we need to create a distraction for Chef."
Sara is watching birds fly around a dovecote, which is a building design to have house pigeons or doves. The dovecote is a small cylindrical tower.
"This is nice," Sara said to herself feeling calm. "No competition, no Chris, just me watching these birds."
A female bird lands on a nest where baby pigeons are crying for food. The mom bird pukes out food for her kin.
"Well, at least the pigeons remind me of New York," Sara stated.
Christopher and Jared are inside a larder, which is a cool area to store food back in medieval times.
"Why did you bring me here?" Jared asked shivering, using his arms to wrap around his chest.
"For training purposes," Christopher exclaimed. "We need to boost up your confidence and exercising is a great tool to get pump up."
"I think my confidence is pretty high right now," Jared told him. "I helped my former teammates win the last challenge."
"See, you think your confidence is high when you should say my confidence is already high." Christopher. "We will be doing pushups right now." The kung fu fighter gets into position.
Jared sighs in annoyance. "I don't have anything else to do so why not?" Jared gets into position to start the exercise.
The perfectionist struggles to do two pushups and at the third, his body drops onto the ground.
"This isn't fun," Jared said to himself.
"Nonsense, it just takes practice," Christopher said.
Both hear a knock at the larder's door.
"I'll get it," Jared said. He is about to open the door until Casey kicks it causing him to get hit with the door. "Ow," He stated before falling to the floor.
"Hey Christopher," Casey said to her former teammate. She looks at Jared who gets up. "And random stranger I have never seen before." She teased.
"We see each other every day," Jared said groaning.
"You remind me of this guy named Jared." Casey joked.
"And I'm done talking to you." The perfectionist informed.
"Casey, are you here to do training for the muscles?" Christopher asked.
"Noooope," Casey casually said. "Janet and I need help to infiltrate Chef's kitchen to get some ice."
"Why do you want to go into Chef's kitchen?" Jared asked skeptically, holding his forehead in pain.
Casey opens the door more to reveal Janet standing next to a barrel of wine. "To collect ice for the wine, duh," Casey answered sounding obvious.
"Are you two going to get drunk?" Jared asked another question.
"Are you?" Casey replied with a question.
"I don't know." He said unsure.
"Although I do not like stealing, this quest for ice can help me sharpen my skills," Christopher said. "We'll do it!"
"I have a bad feeling about this," Jared said.
Outside the castle and panning inside the boy's cabin, Lucy is doing some investigation.
She grabs Knick's journal and a piece of paper from her left pocket. Turns out she gave Knick a different paper. Looking at both the paper and journal, the writing is identical.
"Ah hah, excellent," Lucy exclaimed. She tears a piece of paper from the journal and puts the book under Knick's pillow where she found it.
Pharaoh enters the boy's cabin and sees the DIT. Lucy turns around and sees the royal stare at her. Awkward tension surrounds the area.
"What are you looking for…" Pharaoh tried to say.
"That is none of your concern." Lucy interrupted. She immediately runs out of the cabin.
Christopher, Casey, Janet, and Jared are watching Chef preparing food. Chef is whistling some tunes while chopping carrots.
"Okay, what's the plan?" Janet asked the three.
"Christopher will make a distraction while we enter the kitchen to grab the ice," Casey answered.
"No offense, but you don't look like a very good distractor," Jared told the kung fu fighter.
"None taken, but it's for the best," Christopher said. "I don't like stealing so this is the best I can do to help."
The three campers leave the gran mess hall and wait for their time to strike.
"Hey Chef," Christopher said grabbing the bulky man's attention. "Got any leftover gruel I can eat?"
Chef eyes at him suspiciously.
Confessional: Chef
"Since when did this kid like my cooking?" Chef asked himself.
End Confessional
"Here," Chef said giving a bowl of gruel to Christopher. He goes back to putting raisins in a pot.
"Forgive me, uncle," Christopher said. He throws the bowl of gruel at the back of Chef's head.
Furious, Chef grabs the nearest cleaver, heads out of the kitchen, and begins chasing Christopher through a hallway of the castle. Janet, Jared, and Casey head inside the pantry.
"Janet, stay on guard in case Chef gets back," Jared told the space geek. Janet nods and stays by the door.
Casey searches the fridge and grabs all the icepacks.
"I don't think we need that many ice packs," Jared said to her.
"You can never go wrong with too much ice," Casey said. "Plus, we can make an ice sculpture, let's go."
Night
Inside the gran mess hall, the final eight are sitting on chairs and drinking cups of wine, waiting for Chris to arrive.
"Excellent wine," Pharaoh said. "A drink fit for a Pharaoh." He drinks a bit of the whine.
Janet looks at Christopher ready to ask a question. "So, Christopher, how did it go with Chef?"
"It was delightful," Christopher exclaimed. "Except when he tried to hit me with his cleaver, but we did a small kung fu battle."
"Did you lose?" Knick said spitefully.
"We got too tired to finish the fight, but he is a worthy opponent," Christopher said oblivious to Knick's remark.
"Greetings final eight," Said someone. It was not Chris' voice, but it is familiar. The eight campers look at the entrance of the grand mess hall to see a teenager dress up identically to Chris.
"Topher?" Said the campers at the same time.
"That's right Topher," The fan said smoothly. "You're next host of Total… Drama…" Before he can finish, a hand slaps the back of his hand.
"Idiot," Said a female with brunette hair and brown skin. "The producers are never going to let you host this show."
"I can still dream, can I?" Topher said to her. "Besides, reboots are all the ratings these days."
"Oh my gosh, its Courtney!" Janet exclaimed in excitement. "I am such a huge fan."
Courtney is surprised by what Janet said. "Wow, is been a long time since I heard someone say that there my biggest fan."
"Are you here to enter the competition halfway like in Action?" Knick asked emotionless.
Courtney scoffs at that question. "Please, I am never going to participate here again. I'm still trying to sue this show for that balloon fiasco in all-stars."
"Oh yeah, I remember that," Casey recalled. "It must have been so much fun floating inside a balloon." She giggles.
"Of course not," Courtney said flabbergasted. "I could have died in there; it was only by luck I landed in a deep pool and manage not to make break any bones."
"Really, I thought they just edited the balloons leaving the island." Jared thought.
"I'm regretting signing up for this show," Janet said feeling scared.
"Please, Total Drama is one of best shows ever made," Topher said.
"Even a huge fan like yourself must know All-Stars and Pahkitew were trash," Sara told Topher.
"Don't remind me of that season," Courtney said bitterly. "I still have nightmares from Sundae Muddy Sundae."
"Hey, Pahkitew is great," Topher said to Sara. "It brought me into the show, and I am amazing."
"Why are you two even here?" Pharaoh asked the two.
"They are probably the cameos for this season." Lucy concurred.
"Right you are Lucy," Chris said entering the gran mess hall and pushing away Topher and Courtney which the two glares at him. "Courtney and Topher will be keeping you eight company while I head to the kitchen and help Chef prepare for tonight's challenge." He contains his laughter confusing the contestants and heads to the kitchen.
Courtney and Topher look at the eight remaining campers.
"Care for a cold drink of wine?" Casey offered. "It's very quenchy, nothing is quencheier, it's the quenchiest."
"You guys are too young to be drinking," Courtney told them.
"Relax, they will just edit the drinking out," Topher assured. "Probably change it to apple juice."
Courtney looks the barrel of whine skeptically. "Alright, a small sip wouldn't hurt me."
"Sweet, let me assist you," Christopher said grabbing an empty cup.
Suddenly, the lights turn off in the gran mess hall.
"The twelve plagues are coming!" Pharaoh exclaimed in fear.
"It's just a power outage," Lucy told the royal.
Everyone hears the screams of Chris and Chef. The lights turn on again and the campers with Courtney and Topher run straight to the kitchen to see the host and Chef on the floor covered in blood.
"Oh my gosh!" Sara exclaimed in horror.
"They are dead," Jared said trembling.
"Yes," Topher exclaimed excitedly. "This will make it so much easier to become the host of this show."
The campers and Courtney give disapproving looks to him.
"Please, we were all thinking about it," Topher told them.
"This is obviously a crime-solving challenge," Knick stated.
"Which means that one of us needs to figure out who 'murder' Chris and Chef," Janet said.
"This will be easy," Lucy said confidently. "As a detective in training, I will crack this case in no time." She pulls out a magnifying glass and her detective case. She bends down to dust for fingerprints.
"Now I know how other people felt when kept saying I was a CIT," Courtney said feeling a bit remorse.
Lucy uses a fingerprint scanner to find out the culprit. The scan is complete, and Lucy tries to take the paper out only for Casey to smash the scanner with a hammer.
"What is wrong with you!?" Lucy exclaimed in fury. "We need to know who did it!"
"I want to win immunity duh," Casey told the DIT.
"We don't even know if the person who finds out who did it gets immunity," Sara said to the unpredictable mastermind.
"Let's do the old fashion way," Janet said to everyone.
"And by old fashion way, you mean?" Jared asked.
"I don't know, I'm not a detective in training," Janet admitted sincerely.
"Are you mocking me?" Lucy asked the space geek.
"No, no, I'm sorry if that came out rude." Janet apologized.
"We should ask ourselves which person is most likely to murder Chris," Knick stated.
"This is getting dark pretty quick," Pharaoh admitted.
"Oh, is the great and mighty Pharaoh getting scared?" Jared mocked the royal.
"The Pharaoh does not get scared," Pharaoh told the perfectionist. Thunder is heard outside frightening the Pharaoh. "Not a word." He hissed at Jared who is smirking.
"Back to topic, we should tie up Topher and Courtney," Sara said to the campers.
"Why us?" Topher asked.
"You are pretty obvious," Sara bluntly said to the Chris fan. "And I suggest Courtney because she keeps trying to sue the show."
"What makes you think we are going to let you tie us up?" Courtney said, feeling confident there is no way these campers can capture her.
"Christopher, get them," Sara said with a grin. The kung fu fighter tackles Topher to the ground.
Courtney takes the opportunity to run away and flee the gran mess hall.
"Knick, Jared, Lucy, Casey, and Pharaoh after her," Sara ordered as Casey and the former Kind Knights except Pharaoh go after Courtney.
Sara sees that the royal stays put.
"Pharaoh does not take orders he gives them," Pharaoh plainly said to her. Sara groans in annoyance.
As the other three campers tie up an unconscious Topher, Janet sees a tiny string of blonde hair next to Chris's body. She takes it from and the floor and stares at it.
Scene changes to Knick, Lucy, Casey, and Jared running and following Courtney.
"There is no escape Courtney!" Lucy shouted as the type A keeps running away from them.
"You will never take me alive coppers!" Casey cackled much to the other three's confusion. "I always wanted to say that."
"This was so not in my contract," Courtney said to herself.
The lights once again turn off causing the four campers to stop running but they bump into each other. Lightning strikes, giving light that shows the campers on the ground groaning. It turns dark quickly again.
"There must be a storm outside that's causing the power to go out," Knick said to the three.
"She's got me, she has my leg!" Jared screamed desperately and terrified. The three campers separate themselves even in the darkness to try and find Jared and Courtney. Every time lightning strikes, they use the light to catch a glimpse of where they are going.
Back at the gran mess hall, Sara lights up some candles for everyone to use. Christopher finishes tying up Topher to a wooden table.
"Sweet, now all we need is an executioner and this would look like a medieval dungeon," Pharaoh said frightening Topher.
"I did find an axe in the storage room we can use for a prop." Christopher said to the royal.
"Wait, you don't want to do that," Topher said then nervously chuckles, believing that these two will make him swim with the fishes. "I will tell you everything I know about Chris."
"Pharaoh doesn't really care about Chris," Pharaoh admitted. "Pharaoh just wants to know if you know something we don't know, you know?"
Topher blinks with confusion. "Dude, you are not making sense."
"I know," The royal said casually.
"Are you idiots done interrogating him?" Sara said to the two.
"We are having trouble getting information from him." Christopher sincerely said.
"You two are doing it wrong," Sara told them. The lights turn back on and the sweet bad girl grabs a pair of scissors from a table nearby. "You just need to push the right buttons."
Topher looks at the scissors Sara has, and his eyes open wide in fear. "Wait, you are not going to cut my precious hair, are you?" Topher asked feeling uneasy. "It's really valuable."
"Maybe, maybe not," Sara said shrugging without care. "Maybe if you give us useful information for us, I won't make you bald."
"Okay, okay I'll talk," Topher desperately said.
Pharaoh and Christopher look at Sara with smiles.
"You're good," Christopher complimented.
"And bad," Pharaoh approved.
"Thanks," Sara told them and rapidly focuses on the capture teen. "Now spill it Topher."
"The 'murderer' is a camper. Chris just used me and Courtney to stall time since we are obvious suspects so that camper can strike." Topher explained.
"Wow, that's notable from Chris," Sara admitted rather impressed.
"Yeah, the old man still has some good tricks up his sleeve," Topher said.
"Do you know who the camper is?" Christopher asked.
"Not a clue," Topher answered. "He told us nothing about the camper."
"Well, at least this information is now useful," Pharaoh said.
Feeling defeated, Topher comes up with an idea and smirks. He can still cause drama.
"Even though I don't know who did the 'murder' I believe it is Christopher since he is very strong," Topher said smirking.
"Yeah, he is," Sara said giggling, but suddenly stops herself. "I mean, what's your point?"
"It could be him; the dude can easily take down anybody pretty fast without causing too much noise. He took me out pretty easily." Topher is enlightened.
"Pharaoh agrees," Pharaoh said suspecting the kung fu fighter. "He thinks you are the culprit."
"And you're not?" Sara questioned. "I saw how well you handled those skeletons, you probably put traps all over this place."
"How dare you accused your Pharaoh," Pharaoh exclaimed.
"Maybe its Janet?" Christopher suggested. "She's been quiet through all of this."
"Where is Janet anyway?" Sara asked.
Since the lights are back, Knick is shown walking inside a solar room. Despite being dusty, the king's bed looks elegant and the windows have neat designs on them.
"I doubt Courtney will be here," Knick said to himself. "But I can take this opportunity and figure out how to get myself to the finale." He sits on the bed and dust pops up causing him to sneeze and cough. "Nobody has suspected a thing yet, but my next target should be Lucy. She has put a pause to her investigation, but she will continue." He opens a dresser to see bugs and rats come out of there. "Well, that's disgusting."
The door to the solar room closes causing Knick to look over there. The lights turn off once he walks up to the door.
"Shit," Knick said knowing he will be capture.
Inside one of the hallways, Courtney is taking a rest, breathing in and out as rain begins to pour down on Crowstillo Island.
"I think I lost them," Courtney said to herself.
"Not a chance," Lucy whispered into her ear causing the type A to scream with shock.
"Look, I'm done playing Chris' stupid game," Courtney told the contestant. "One of the campers is the 'murderer', okay?"
"Why didn't you tell me before?" Lucy asked sincerely and confuse.
"Because the longer you and the others don't find out the more, I get paid," Courtney admitted.
"Wait, but aren't you like twenty?" Lucy asked.
"Nineteen," Courtney corrected.
"Shouldn't you have like, a job?"
"Can you stop asking questions, I don't need to tell you about my life," Courtney stated annoyed.
"Right, sorry, a force of habit." Lucy acted contritely.
The two girls glance around the area.
"Want to head back to the gran mess hall?" Lucy asked Courtney.
"Sure, beats being stuck hear."
Once the two girls head back to the gran mess hall, they see Christopher, Sara, and Pharaoh arguing with each other. They look at Topher, still tied up and smirking. The two girls walk up to him.
"You are enjoying this are you?" Courtney said with distaste.
"I like making drama, it is kind of my thing," Topher said with a smile.
Lucy whistles so the campers that are arguing can stop fighting. "Can someone explain what's going on?"
"We are trying to figure out which one of us is the 'killer'," Christopher answered politely. "But we went a bit overboard with the accusing."
"Where are Knick, Jared, and Casey?" Sara asked Lucy.
"We got separated when the storm took out the power a while ago," Lucy answered.
"And you didn't try to find them?" Christopher asked.
"I wasn't going to be looking around a castle with these many floors," Lucy confessed. "I can easily get captured."
"We haven't seen Janet either," Sara said. "I think it's safe to say it is not one of us that is in this room."
"Or is it?" Janet exclaimed entering the gran mess hall catching everyone inside by surprise.
"An incredible twist, Janet is still around," Topher exclaimed acting like a commentator.
"I know who did!" The space geek exclaimed.
"Finally," Courtney said. "I can now leave this place, who did it?"
"Sure; but let me explain how I figured it out," Janet told.
"Yes, I would love to hear how you solved this case," Lucy said encouraging the geek to proceed.
Flashback
For some reason, the flashback is in black and white, like a classic noir film.
"As the storm rages on like the roar of a lion," Janet narrated as she is looking down at the bodies of Chris and Chef. "I found a small string of hair next to Chris's face." Janet picks up the hair and stares at it. "I licked the hair to taste the culprit," The space geek opens her tongue. "Wait, did I lick it? I don't know, I bet it wouldn't taste good anyway."
"Get to the point!" Courtney exclaimed.
"Okay fine, the string of hair is blonde and there are only two blonde campers on this show."
End Flashback
Janet smiles at the campers as they realize who is the culprit.
"Christopher, tie up Lucy," Sara ordered.
"Wait, what?" Lucy said perplex by the situation. "It's not me." Christopher tackles her onto the ground.
"Pharaoh believes that wasn't necessary," Pharaoh said.
"Guys is not me; it has to be Casey," Lucy told the contestants as Christopher ties her up with rope.
"Casey is not even here," Sara told. "Why should we believe you?"
"Because of the way Janet described her flashback," Lucy explained. "It doesn't sound like her at all."
"Now that I think about," Christopher said finishing tying up the DIT. "Janet will never lick a string of hair."
The remaining campers, Courtney, and Topher glance at 'Janet'.
"Why are all of you looking at me like that?" Janet asked. "We captured the criminal."
"If we did, Pharaoh believes Chris would have popped out right now and tell us we won the challenge," Pharaoh said.
Sara, Christopher, and Pharaoh walk closer to Janet.
"Okay fine," Janet takes out her brunet wig to reveal her blonde hair with some areas dye pink. "It's me, Casey."
"Are we going to do this the easy way or the hard way?" Sara asked the culprit.
"Uh, Courtney distract them," Casey told the brunette.
"Yeah, no, not in my contract." Courtney plainly said.
Christopher tackles Casey but the unpredictable mastermind dodges him. Pharaoh goes to untie Lucy while Sara tries to grab Casey through the mess hall.
"Sorry about accusing you," Pharaoh apologized.
"Well, that's new," Lucy said.
Confessional: Lucy
"Pharaoh is been acting quite normal these past two days," Lucy admitted. "Yeah, he still acts like a Pharaoh, but the way he talks now is slightly different than when I first met him."
End Confessional
Pharaoh prepares the rope and swings it at Casey only to capture Sara.
"Oops," Pharaoh said.
"Now is time to make my escape," Casey gloated. "Bargaby Bludiddle!"
She sprints off to the exit only for Courtney to use the door of the gran mess hall to hit Casey in the face, knocking the camper down for the count.
Christopher pokes her with a stick to see if Casey wakes up. The girl twitches her right leg, but she does not wake up.
"Guess we win the challenge," Sara said.
"Correct you are Saraphine!" Chris exclaimed, making the campers and Courtney jump in surprise. He walks to them with his signature smile. "Congrats on you four campers defeating the culprit Casey."
"Can you explain why Casey was hunting us down?" Lucy asked the host.
"Originally, I was going to reuse the psycho killer chainsaw with a hook idea with Chef," Chris explained.
"Of course, you will use something unoriginal," Sara said rolling her eyes.
Chris continues to explain ignoring her comment. "Casey happened to be nearby when I was discussing the idea to Chef, so I thought, why not use her as the killer?"
"Does that mean we all get immunity?" Pharaoh asked the host.
"Nope, but you four," Chris said to Christopher, Lucy, Pharaoh, and Sara. "Each gets a reward that will help you in the next challenge."
The four contestants cheer.
"Wait," Lucy said. "What happened to Knick, Janet, and Jared?" Lucy asked.
"Casey dragged them to the editing room," Chris answered. "I'm getting tired of answering you campers so just meet me on the roof during the campfire ceremony."
"I need to accompany you," Lucy to Chris. He groans in irritation. "I have valuable information that could lead to the culprit who sabotaged the votes."
Chris ponders for a moment and accepts the offer begrudgingly. "Alright, follow me to the editing room, Lucy."
Scene changes to Lucy and Chris entering the editing room. Chef is sitting on a chair and drinking coconut water from a coconut.
"Make this quick Lucy," Chris told the detective in training. "I need to discuss some things with Chef."
"Okay," Lucy agreed, and she pulls two pieces of paper out of her left pocket and opens both up. "Knick framed Pixel for something he didn't commit."
"I know," Chris said. "It was awesome, I love how he pulled that off."
Lucy figures that Chris would not care. She sighs in annoyance. She is going to have to explain to him another way.
"Knick has shown to be very quiet and stealthy," Lucy told the host. "It wouldn't be a surprise he is the one who sabotaged the votes and camera."
"You still have no concrete evidence," Chef told her. "And there is no footage of him tampering with it since the camera wasn't working." He looks at his partner. "This is a waste of time Chris."
"Footage?" Lucy wondered with that word sinking into her thoughts.
"Lucy, go," Chris told her, deciding that this whole talk was for nothing.
"Okay, but before I go, you should check the footage before the sabotage," Lucy said. "Somebody obviously had to go inside to take out the batteries so I will leave it up to you." The detective in training walks out of the editing room.
Chris, now curious about what she said to him, checks for the footage before the scene of the crime. The footage shows that the last person who went into the confessional was Chef and then not twenty seconds later, the screen turns black. The host's eyes wide up surprise by the revelation.
"Chef?" Chris asked himself, having a hard time processing all of this.
WHAM! Chef knocks Chris out with a frying pan.
"Sorry Chris, but I can't let you ruin the deal I made," Chef said.
Campfire Ceremony
It is night, the storm is gone, and the remaining eight campers gather around. Lucy, Knick, Jared, and Sara are sitting on a log in the middle. To the left, Pharaoh, Janet, and Christopher sitting on stumps. To the right is Casey, also sitting on a stump.
Chris and Chef are shown standing with the host, unexpectedly not having any marshmallows on the plate he is holding with his left hand.
"Tonight's loser is supposed to be the camper that Casey caught first," Chris explained. "But because I don't remember for some reason," The host rubs the back of his head, and Chef starts to sweat a bit. "Casey, who did you capture first?"
Casey stands up proudly. "It was…"
"…"

"Jared."
The perfectionist sighs in defeat. "That makes sense." He stands up from the log. "Honestly, I never thought I will make this far. I really thought I'll be the first boot this season."
"It was an honor to train with you," Christopher said to Jared. "Even though it was for a while."
"I believe you proved to everyone you are cable of being a great player in this show and a great person." Lucy complimented.
"Not everybody has the chance to make it to the merge," Pharaoh said. "You have the Pharaoh's respect."
"Thanks, everyone," Jared said to the remaining campers. He begins to give tears of joy.
Jared walks up to the catapult of shame. Despite not winning, he proves himself to be a greater person than he ever knew. Chef pulls the lever, launching Jared far away from the island.
"The rest of you are safe, for now," Chris said to the remaining campers. Once the campers walk down the stairs from the roof, Chef approaches the host.
"Chris; Courtney, and Topher are nowhere to be found," Chef said.
Chris shrugs. "If they die out there in the woods is not my problem. The contract states that they have to be in the castle the whole cameo."
"Fang has escape also Chris," Chef said.
"Crap, that's a problem. Listen, I have a major headache, so we'll continue discussing this tomorrow." Chris said to Chef.
Inside the boy's cabin, Knick, Pharaoh, and Christopher are in their pajamas. The journalist is the only one awake with a lamp nearby illuminating his notebook as he writes stuff down. When he looks up, he notices a paper under the door.
The camera from the campsite focuses on Knick as he already opened the door. He sees Casey outside in her pajamas.
"I didn't read the note," Knick said. "But if it's a love letter I'm not interested."
"I'm guessing you are the type of guys who don't like fun," Casey said playfully.
"Get to the point," Knick stated. "I have no reason being out here so late at night."
"You think you're so smart," Casey said then scoffs. "I'm not naïve, I know you wrote that letter to me."
"Where are you going with this?" Knick forcefully asked.
"I could have lied to Chris and eliminated you today," Casey said with a happy grin.
"So why didn't you?" Knick wondered.
Confessional: Knick
"Might as well keep asking questions I guess," Knick said.
End Confessional
Casey walks towards Knick getting awfully close to him as both stare coldly at each other. "Because you have would have gone free without remorse." Casey plainly said. "And I want to make sure when you lose, it blows up in your face, figurately and literally."
"I will be disappointed if you don't try," Knick said to her. The two campers walk away and head to their respective cabin.
The episode still does not finish. A camera pans to a shore on Crowstillo Island showing Courtney, Topher, and Fang waiting for something.
A boat appears carrying five people. It is hard to tell who they are until the five arrive at the shore.
"Glad you all can make," Topher said with a villainous grin. "I know we don't get along that very well, but I hope that doesn't jeopardize our mission."
"This better be worth it," Said Heather.
"Yes, it would be a shame we went all through this knowing it was in vain." The charmer Alejandro said wearing his normal attire.
"Are you sure the money is real?" Another person asked which is revealed to be Justin.
"Of course," Courtney said. "Chris was in a total shock when he thought the campers were leaving with actual treasure."
Ezekiel, still feral, begins speaking gibberish.
"Ezekiel has a point; how do we know where the treasure is hidden in the castle?" Alejandro asked Topher.
"And that my friend, is where he comes in," Topher answered presenting the final person getting out of the boat.
The teen is wearing what appears to be Alejandro's clothing but cover in dirt and has holes. He fixes his red bandana.
"Let's make everyone go to Davy Jones' locker," Henry said with crazy eyes. You can practically feel the hatred in him.
"Now that we are settled, we'll strike in the morning," Topher said to everyone, and they all nod. "Good, now let me finish off this episode." The number one fan looks at the camera ready to end the episode.
"Seven campers remain, but it is not going to be easy for their next challenge," Topher said then chuckles. "What will happen to this show? Find out next time on Total… Drama… Crowstillo Island!"
