Team Misfit is shown in first class as the episode begins. "Last time on total Drama world tour." The plane is shown crashing, followed by shots of the contestants panicking. "We had some mechanical difficulties." The plane is shown crash landing on the beach, followed by a shot of the waterfall they'd jumped from last challenge. "And ended up in hot water Jamaica style. No problem."
Jeroboam is shown crashing into the back wall of the plane, passed out in the infirmary and being taken away in the ambulance. "Except for Jeroboam, who's concussion was a major problem and led to our first elimination by injury." Chris and Chef are shown lounging as they are given water, then the race track from last episode is shown. "Stranded and without gas money, we had to improvise." Patricia and Jeremiah are shown flying through the air after hitting the broken board. "And while team Misfit lost," Stefans is shown jumping out the plane. "Stefans sense of right and wrong led him to forfeit and he took the drop of shame.
Martha throwing the confetti bomb and the counter reaching 500,000 was shown. "But thanks to a rocking telethon that raised a tank load of cash from our viewers," The peanut gallery answering phones is shown. "Hey thanks for that eh?" The plane is shown taking off. "We're ready to get back in the air."
Chris and Chef are shown in the cockpit to end the recap. "Vacation's over! It's time for some more, Total! Drama! Woooorrrrlllddd~ Tooouuurrrr~!"
Intro
A stage light pops up in front of the CN tower, we switch to the interior of the plane as another light pops out of the ceiling, outside the plane a camera pops out of the engine startling a raccoon, we see a suitcase pop open and a clap board is used. The camera moves through first class passing a drink cart on the way and causing Chris to jump out of the aisle.
Dear Mom and Dad, I'm doin' fine;
(Chef and Noah are in the cockpit, the cook gives the camera glare as it passes through. The camera moves past several bagages trucks.)
You guys are on my mind!
(The camera moves past the CN tower and dives into the water.)
Ya asked me what I wanted to be,
(Ed is swimming in the water, a smirk on his face..)
And now I think the answer is plain to see!
(Madison stands on a straw roof of a hunt on a woven boat. Ed pops out of the water, scaring her into falling.)
I wanna be...famous!
(Patricia is in the boat rowing while Jeremiah stares at Madison's fall, as crocodiles leap from the water snapping their jaws. The boat moves off screen and we see a crocodile wince on the word be. The camera moves back to the boat revealing it had run into an inflatable raft Leilani is sitting on. She stares calmly as she sinks while they try to pull her in.)
I wanna live close to the sun!
(The camera moves to the statue of liberty, we cut to the top where both Alejandro and Stefans are helping Veronica up.)
Well pack your bags, 'cause I've already won!
(Martha runs past the two, pushing a baby carriage holding Rhys. Helen is nearby and the clown trips over her, sending Rhys flying out of the carriage and into a sign.)
Everythin' to prove,
(Rhys falls off into Nathan's arms, the floater gives him a seductive smirk, and the brunette rolls his eyes)
Nothin' in my way;
I'll get there one day.
(We pan right where Georgia watches the scene in interest, she is scared to find a polar bear is behind her. After she runs off the polar bear removes its head, revealing a laughing Kennedy. The pranker notices a baby seal which attacks her,)
'Cause I wanna be...famous!
(Kennedy begins to run off with a seal attached to her, we zoom in to see Alister and Corbyn surfing a giant wave. It seems to be too much as they are swept up in the surf.)
Na-na nanananaa, nanana-nanaa, na-nananananaa
(Amber and Jeroboam are walking across a new york city crosswalk. They are startled as the jet passes them sending leaves through the air. We switch to a scene of the contestants in a human pyramid atop the jet, wearing parachutes and kicking in beat. On the bottom row are Veronica, Alejandro, Stafans, Kennedy, Martha and Alister. On the first row up are Ed, Corbyn, Rhys, Nathan, and Madison. The middle row holds Georgia, Jeroboam, Amber, and Helen. Second from the top holds Jeremiah and Leilani, while Patrica sits up top.)
I wanna be! I wanna be! I wanna be famous! (Na-na nanananaa, nanana-nanaa, na-nananananaa)
(The plane passes big ben,causing the clock face to pop out. It passes the arc de Triomphe causing a mime to drop his croissant. It flies past a rock balancing on.a stone pillar, knocking it off and causing it to fall in front of the camera kicking up dust)
I wanna be! I wanna be! I wanna be famous! (Na-na nanananaa, nanana-nanaa, na-nananananaa)
(The dust clears to Jeremiah, Patrica and Leilani all smiling at one another, It pans to show Ed glaring, then down to Alister.)
(The lyric end and we see Chef Hatchet glare while Noah looks at him worriedly. He turns the plane, sending all the contestants falling through the air in parachutes. Everyone but Helen lands in front of a sigh with the show's name on it. As the song ends Helen lands face first in the middle of the group)
Intro end
We see the jumbo jet flying through the air before we focus on economy. Despite winning the last challenge team VIctory is seated on the left bench, next to Team Chris, while Team Misfit sits on the right. "We won the last challenge! Why are we in loser class?!" Veronica complained.
"Chris said he needed first class for a special guest," Kennedy sighed. "And what Chris needs-"
"Chris takes." Veronica finished.
"Speaking of taking." Kennedy said, her eyes welling up with tears. "I can't believe Stafans abandoned us like that! We have the least members of any team. What if none of us merge!" She turned to Alejandro and began to cry into his shoulder.
"Calm down, we are team Victory and we won't lose so easily." Alejandro told her. Veronica glared at her, Kennedy, who was sitting to Alejandro's right, while Veronica sat to his left, winked at her. Veronica smirked.,
(Confessional)
Kennedy: See Ronnie thinks I'm trying to get Alejandro to let his guard down, when in actuality I'm trying to convince Alejandro I'll be the easier of us two to manipulate. That way when we lose, he'll vote out Ronnie over me.
Static
Ed: I gotta admit, bein' able to cry on command is impressive. An' I know from past experience she's smart. If Kennedy's still around by the merge she could be good ta work with.
Static
The focus shifts to the Misfit trio, who are looking at pictures on Patricia's camera. "There's the crab that pinched your ankle Jeremy." Leilani smirked.
"I swore vengeance on it and threw it back in the water." The theater nerd smiled. Patricia swiped her finger. "That's when we buried you in the sand."
"I wanted to know what being buried alive felt like." Leilani deadpanned. Patricia swiped again. "There's the sand sculpture of Chris Patricia made."
"Then she knocked it down and stamped on it!" Jeremiah laughed. '
"He deserves it." Patricia smiled. She swiped again and frowned. "Jeroboam…" The other two frowned as well.
"That was during the chowder feast in Newfoundland." Jeremiah sighed. "Feels like a long time ago."
"If we're a bit sad about his departure and we weren't even that close, imagine how Amber must feel." Leilani pointed out.
The three glanced at Amber who was writing in a notebook. "It's gotta be awkward for her, considering how close the three of us are." Jeremiah decided.
"We'll just have to do our best to win the next challenge in his honor." Leilani deadpanned. Patricia nodded.
(Confessional)
Amber: With Jero gone I have no chance of surviving the next elimination. I've been trying out hypothetical strategies, but no luck. I'll just have to keep winning, and hope the merge happens soon."
Static
With Team Chris Rhys kept glancing at Nathan, then at Ed. He sighed. He was startled when he felt someone tap his shoulder. He glanced to see it was Corbyn.
"Sorry dude, I was just wondering what's up? You seem tense." Corbyn said.
"I am tense. Not that you can help me." Rhys admitted.
"Look I just want you to know that whatever it is, we've got your back. We'd never betray your trust." The boarder told him.
Rhys smiled, but was interrupted by another tap on the shoulder, this one from Ed. "He would say that though wouldn 't he. He wants to lower yer guard. You gonna let him?"
"I think I need to make a confessional." Rhys decided, standing up. " If you'll excuse me."
(confessional)
Rhys: I don't know what to do. On the one hand, Nathan is a distraction and he might not choose me if it came down to it. On the other, Nathan is so sweet, and understanding. Sure he can be annoying, but ever since he stopped with the constant flirting he's been a lot better. I need to think this over.
Static
Rhys exits the confessional and is walking past a set of double doors. Then we hear Chris' voice from down the hall. "She's desperate. She'll take them out like a lion preying on a flock of chubby asthmatic gazelles." Rhys sneaks to the slightly ajar door to first class, his face becoming more and more worried as Chris' sentence goes on.
"But if she takes them out, takes them out?" Chef asked as Rhys peered through the door.
"Legal says we're clear, so long as the interns are safe. Right Noah?" Chris asked the cynic. We now see the inside of first class. Chris, Chef, and Noah are all standing before a short figure in a top hat, black wig, long coat, and boots. They are holding a knife in one gloved hand.
"Yeah the contestants haven't won any endangerment lawsuits yet so they don't care." Noah shrugged. "This is still probably a bad idea."
"No one asked you! Think of the ratings! That clip will score major hits online." Chris said. Rhys leaned forward to hear better and his head bumped the door. He gasped. "Did you hear something?" Chris asked. The figure turned and Rhys ran away, the the figure was there when he turned around. He screamed, a the screen cut to black.
/
The map transition screen is shown before quickly cutting to Chris and Chef in the cockpit. "Attention helpless passengers, we've been denied permission to land." The scene shifts to economy class. "So you're gonna hafta jump." All the contestants complained. "And Chef may have miscounted parachutes."
Chef glared. "I'm a cook not a mathematician!"
"So you might wanna light a pepper under your butts and grab one before they're gone." Chris finished.
/
The contestants are shown to have their parachutes on and are jumping from the plane one by one. All except Veronica and Kennedy, who look at the one remaining parachute with a frown. :"Just my luck." Veronica complained.
/
The viewpoint is beneath the plane as Veronica and Kennedy jump out. They are both screaming. We cut to the ground where all the other contestants have landed on a bridge next to a double decker bus. They have piled the parachutes in a pile.
"Ahh, london. What a refined city you are." Alejandro remarked.
"I want see museum." Patricia grinned.
"Sure, there's a lot of those." Jeremiah agreed.
"London torture museum." Patricia clarified. Leilani gave her an impressed look. That was when the two female members of team Victory crashed into the top of the Double decker bus. Kennedy was crushed under Veronica. "Thanks for breaking my fall, you really are a good friend." The socialite said in a sweet tone. Kennedy groaned.
/
Everyone is seated on the bus as Kennedy rubs her head from the fall. Veronica is next to her, Alejandro sits in the seat ahead, ahead of him Patricia, Leilani and Jeremiah all share a seat, as both Patricia and Leilani are small. Ahead of them is Nathan and Corbyn, and in front are Ed and Amber.
Chris stands at the beginning. Nathan looks around nervously. "Where's Rhys?"
Chris frowned. "Yes where is he? The answer in a sec, but first: Gun it Chef!" The cook slammed his foot on the gas, and the bus started. "London, home to loads of wicked stuff." The host began. "Big ben, the london eye, the sandwich stuffed with french fries, known as the chip buddy,"
"And West end musicals!" Jeremiah interluded,
"London's also home to Scotland yard, the world's biggest crime busting outfit, " Chris frowned ominously. "but there was one case even Scotland yard couldn't crack," At this he narrowed his eyes and smiled. " Jack the ripper!" Everyone gasped except Leilani.
Chris pulled out a picture of the figure that had gotten Rhys earlier. "The wacko serial killer who terrorized victorin london. Today you'll be tracking that bad boy down," His voice took on a sneakily cautious tone. "but be careful jack's also hunting you. That's why team Chris is really, really, really, really, hot is now shorthanded."
"The ripper got Rhys!" Nathan exclaimed. "How are we still on this bus?! We need to find him!"
"Chill out Nate." Ed told him, looking over his seat. "If we're hunting Jack, then we just need to do the challenge. We find Jack, we find Rhys."
"Okay, let's do it." Nathan said determinedly.
"Next stop: tower of London." Chris announced.
"I do hope Rhys is alright, even if it evens the playing field." Alejandro said. Veronica rolled her eyes.
The Focus shifts to the Misfit trio. "I know all about London! One of my favorite musicals, six, is about Henry the VIII's six wives! After that I got super into English history." Jeremiah told the other two, sounding proud.
"I know about the tower of London. Jack the ripper too. Horror movies are my obsession, and Jack appears in a lot of them. I started to wonder who this mysterious killer was. So I looked him up." Leilani told him.
"I know the basics." Patricia shrugged. "He killed harlots."
The tower of london is shown as Chris begins to talk again, At the base stands three British guards. They were elderly men with each wore top hats with flowers around the rim, high collars, and a red and gold uniform.
"Your challenge is to follow a series of clues through the tower complex. All the way to the ripper's secret lair." Chris pulled out a couple of burlap sacks. "Bag the criminal mastermind before he gets you, and you win." He put the bags back behind his back. "Your first clue will be found during the 'changing of the guard' and when I say change I mean change the guards." He gestures to both the guards with his hands. ". Your clue is hidden in his uniform, so one of you has to strip him down to his gitch until you find it. " He gave them an evil look, and a gleaming smile.
"Strip a guy?! Eww." Veronica gagged/
"Up to you girl, million bucks that's all I'm saying. and while you're at it." The bell went off and the musical note appeared in the upper right corner. Everyone groaned except Jeremiah who still seemed less enthused than usual.
(Song fifteen: Strip them down)
We see a close up of one of the guards faces to start. Nathan waves his hand in front of his face as he begins the song. " It's crazy how they stand there, and don't even blink!"
Corbyn looks the guard over curiously. "I wonder how he'd react, if his back got a kink?"
Ed approached the guard from the other side. He taps him on the shoulder. " Hey buddy,
Can we bribe you," He made motions up and down his body. "To strip your clothes off?"
Corbyn pulls a bill out of his pocket. "I've got five dollars in my pocket?"
Ed: Don't make me scoff.
Jeremiah is shaking his hands in front of him. "No way, I can't strip him, I'd probably freak!"
Patricia touches her fingers together nervously. "And I'd rather not 'cause I'm gay."
Amber: That makes sense I think.
Leilani: Well someone has to strip him, and it won't me.
Amber sighs. "So I have to do it? I see."
Leilani: If we're gonna find that clue…
Jeremiah: There's only one thing to do!
Patricia: Force someone to strip him down!
The misfit trio pushes Amber towards the guard. "And Amber girl that's you!"
Nathan and Corbyn are playing rock, paper scissors, but they keep tying.
Nathan: If we're gonna find that clue...
Corbyn: There's only one thing to do!
Nathan: Force someone to strip him down!
The two point at Ed as they sing. "And, sorry, Ed, that's you!
(this verse is to the same tune as team Chris' initial verse.)
Alejandro folds his arms and turns away. "Someone has to do it, and I refuse!"
Veronica gets in his face smirking. "Then you'll be the one to get voted out when we lose."
Alejandro stares her down. "Oh really? I don't think so, I could take you down."
Kennedy: Alejandro are you threatening her?
Alejandro: Let it be renown.
Kennedy and Veronica look at each other and smirk.
Kennedy: If we're gonna find that clue...
Veronica: There's only one thing to do!
Kennedy: Force someone to strip him down!
The two push Alejandro towards the guard as they sing.. "And Al my friend, that's you!
Back with Team Misfit we see clothes being thrown from off screen. The hat lands on Leilani's head.
Leilani: Yeah, we're gonna find that clue.
Patricia: We're doing what Chris proposed!
Jeremiah: Force someone to strip him down!
Misfit Trio: Cause if we don't, we're hosed!
Jeremiah: Totally ho-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-osed!
/
Some time later Amber takes off the guards shoe. The clue falls out. Jeremiah catches it. "Pulled taut atop a southern spire."
"I know what that means! Let's go!" Leilani exclaimed, the Misfit trio ran off as Amber took a moment to recover from the smell of the guard's socks.
Meanwhile with Team Victory, Alejandro found their clue, Kennedy snatched it out of his hands before he could read it. "Pulled taut atop a southern spire." She read.
"To the southern spire!" Veronica demanded. The two girls ran off, Leaving Alejandro to chase after them.
/
The misfit Trio runs into a room with three racks, along with other medieval torture devices. Patricia snapped a picture of an iron maiden. "This is the room Ann Boleyn stayed in until Henry the VII beheaded her!" Leilani and Jeremiah said in unison. Then they laughed.
"Wanna behead your wife? Become king." Patricia joked. All three laughed.
Kennedy and Veronica came in. The socialite frowned. "What's with the weird table?"
Chef came into the room wearing an executioner's outfit. Noah stood nearby in his regular clothing. "You know, you don't have to dress up?" The cynic complained.
"I like doing it!" Chef retorted, Then they noticed the misfit trio was there. "This is a medieval touture rack." He told them, getting into his role as co host.
"Clue's inside, you need to stretch someone on it." Noah explained. The co host glared at him.
"That was my line." Chef said. Noah ignored him.
"I think we should have Amber do it." Jeremiah said.
Patricia looked around. "Where's Amber?"
/
At the bottom of the stairs stands Alejandro, he's about to start up when Amber arrives. Out of breath. The Spainard smirked. "Having trouble with your team?"
"No I just need to catch my breath," Amber glared.
"You're so serious all the time. I admire that about you." Alejandro told her.
"You just can't take a hint can you?" Amber groaned.
/
Back with Team Chris, Ed has stripped the guard down to his undershirt and a pair of boxers with a union jack on them. "Where in the heck is that stupid clue! Chris can't have put in his undergarments!" The con artist complained.
"Maybe it's in his panty hose?" Corbyn suggested.
"Or his shoes? There's not much more to take off. It has to be somewhere!" Nathan said, he's wearing the hat that was formerly on the guard.
/
Amber and Alejandro are still heading up the stairs when a shadow looms over them. The two freeze.
"That's not a member of team Chris is it?" Amber gulped.
The two turned. "I believe you are correct!" The Spaniard exclaimed. They screamed as the focus moved outside.
The figure exits the building with a large sack that looks to be full. "And then there were eight." Chris said. The view moved out to show the host. "Will anybody survive the ripper, and this show?"
"Wait! What about my team?!" Amber screamed from inside the bag.
"Come back after the break." Chris continued. "Where we'll try and answer at least a couple of these questions."
A/N: And so we close part one of London. In part two there will be an ending twist that will make writing the next few challenges way easier on me. So look forward to that!
