The recap began with a pan over the area 51 compound. "Last time on Total Drama World Tour. Area 51," The next clip shown was Chris explaining they were on the border of Area 51 except Veronica, who was shocked with a laser. "Plucked from space to zap your face!" Jeremiah tripping and landing face first into a cactus is shown, followed by Chris in his jet pack nearly getting hit by lasers as he talked to team Victory. "Here Jeremiah got into a prickly situation, and he wasn't the only one." Chris chuckles. "You call those lasers?"
Leilani was shown inside the box, sitting in the chair as the many implements came down. Then a cut to the outside of the cube is shown. "And that's no dentist chair. Seriously, did you think we'd send someone to a dentist? Even I am not that cruel."
The contestants are shown at elimination. "In the end I decided to make it a reward challenge so team Victory can stew in awkward soup another challenge." The scene returns to the cockpit. Chris cries out in surprise as Chef flips the jet upside down. "Who's going to blunder in the land down under? Find out right here, right now! On 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
The episode proper begins in first class. Jeremiah and Patricia sitting on the couch talking. "So when exactly did you start liking Leilani?"
"In hindsight? The Amazon." A rippled effect takes us to a flashback of Patricia using her hat to zipline across the piranha infested waters. "You weren't there. we have to zipline. I used hat." Particia's hate caught fire and she nearly falls into the water, but Leilani jumps into action rescuing her. "It caught fire. Leilani saved me." The ripple effect takes us back to first class where Patricia is blushing. "Never had girlfriend. So I didn't realize. At the time."
"So you've never dated anyone?" Jeremiah asked.
Patricia shook her head. "Crushed on girls. But never dated."
(Confessional)
Jeremiah: So that's why she's so unsure of herself. Well, I'm totally up for being her wingman.
Static
Leilani: I've been hanging out in the main area every now and then. I'm not sure what Patricia is so nervous about talking about in front of me, but I need to give her time to speak with Jeremy about it.
Static
Nathan and Corbyn are enjoying treats, but Nathan is clearly bummed. "I wish Rhys was here."
"Well why don't we let him join us? Chris never said we couldn't bring people up here." Corbyn suggested.
Nathan looked hopeful, but Jeremiah, who had been listening to them from nearby, shook his head. "Nathan, we can't let Rhys up here. He's a potential information leak. With all the manipulation on Team Victory we can't afford to let them find out anything."
"True, I just came from the confessional, and trust me Team Victory has major issues." Leilani deadpanned as she entered first class.
"Oh come on. It's not like he'd learn anything they could use. What are they gonna do, defeat us by knowing our favorite snacks?" Nathan asked.
"Jeremiah's right.' Patricia backed him up. "Alejandro would find way. To use it."
Corbyn and Nathan gave each other looks.
(Confessional)
Nathan: Seriously, Jeremiah's been so uptight about the competition lately. Dude needs to chill.
Static
In economy class things are as you'd expect. Alejandro and Rhys were talking. Kennedy and Ed were talking, which left Veronica by herself. This didn't go unnoticed as Ed glanced her way. He turned to Kennedy.
"So I know Veronica's probably gunning for you, but she's also the outlier on our team. If we can get her on our side we can take out Rhys or Alejandro." He whispered.
Kennedy nodded. "True, but I'm not sure who would be better to take out. On the one hand Alejandro is a much bigger threat. Rhys on the other hand probably wouldn't be willing to side with us, and if Veronica voted with him, we'd tie."
"Whereas if we keep Alejandro around, he'd probably join us in voting out Veronica. Since that would guarantee she'd leave, and he wouldn't." The con artist said.
"It's a close call. For now let's just focus on getting Veronica to vote with us." Kennedy whispered.
"She might be vindictive, but she's also smart. If we convince her voting with us is in her best interest, she'll bite." Ed nodded.
Alejandro looked at the two, frowning.
(confessional)
Alejandro: I must keep an eye on Ed and Kennedy. Both are very good at the game, and it's clear they're up to something. For my own safety I need to get Veronica on my side. If only temporarily.
Static
A map cut shows the plane circling around to land in Australia as Chris' voice said. "All competitors, please move to the common area to prep for landing."
The contestants are shown in the common area. Alejandro and Rhys are talking. "If we want to be rid of Ed we need Veronica on our side. It's clear Kennedy is in league with him." The Spaniard whispered.
"I don't feel right working with Veronica." Rhys frowned.
"What choice do we have?" Alejandro asked. "If she votes with Ed and Kennedy one of us will leave."
"Well...I suppose it's okay if we ask for her vote. That's fair, but I don't want any part in cheating or sabotage." The goody two shoes whispered.
"Of course not mi amigo. I would never ask that of you." Alejandro smiled.
(Confessional)
Rhys: Alejandro is right. We do need a third vote, but Veronica is almost as bad as Ed! (He sighs) I miss being on a team with Nathan and Corbyn. Those two are honest.
Static
In the cockpit we see Chris, Chef, and Noah, Chef is attempting to do something. It isn't working. "Uh oh." He said
"Uh oh funny, or uh oh, we're all gonna die?" Chris asked.
"Take a wild guess." Noah deadpanned.
"The landing gear won't come down!" The cook exclaimed.
"How does that happen?!" Chris complained.
Helen is shown under the landing gear applying makeup, she doesn't seem to realize the wheel is getting stuck.
/
The contestants are shown as Chris starts his schpeal. "Today's forecast: Clear skys with temperatures of 50 degrees celsius or say 300 degrees fahrenheit. And today's landing is going to be more of a non landing fly by."
We see the emergency exit door from the outside. Chris opened it. "Jump, drop, and roll!" He ordered.
The Misfit Trio jumped out, followed by Veronica, Ed, Kennedy, Alejandro, Rhys, Nathan, and Corbyn.
/
The contestants had gathered to listen to Chris explain the challenge. Chris arrived wearing a large brown hat, and speaking in the worst Australian accent. "G'day mate an' welcome to Australia."
"I call today's challenge the marathon of death." The host continued, thankfully in his normal voice. A panning shot of the desert is shown, followed by a shot of the mountains Chris referred to. as he continued. "Part one is an emu race all the way into the blue mountains.I'm not saying the trip will be dangerous exactly, but with venomous snakes, killer scorpions," We return to Chris talking. "and the very real possibility of sunstroke, I hope you all have your affairs in order."
"Whoever reaches majestic hanging rock first will earn a distinct advantage in the second half of the challenge, and yes I said emu. Bring'em in boys!" The host called. Two interns, one a red shirted african Canadian, and one a light blue shirted blonde with a unibrow and bad teeth. They were pulling a group of Emu's behind them by the reins.
"No saddles. After all its supposed to be a challenge." Chris told them. "Now go!"
/
The Emu's are running around squawking as the contestants try to catch them. Corbyn, Ed, and Kennedy are all shown trying to get an Emu. Eventually Corbyn manages to jump on one.
Meanwhile Veronica is trying and failing to catch an Emu. Alejandro arrives leading two emus by their reins. "Allow me to be of assistance."
Veronica gave him a suspicious look. "And why are you helping me? What's your end goal?"
"End goal? Oh no amiga, I just couldn't stand to see you struggle." The Spaniard said with a gleaming smile.
"Whatever, I'm not gonna turn down your help, but you chose to do this. I owe you squat." The socialite said, getting on to one of the Emus.
"Of course not." Alejandro reassured her. He got on to his own Emu. "Ladies first."
Veronica wasn't the only one getting help. Nathan had caught a couple Emus and approached Rhys. "Hey, I caught you an emu." The floater smiled.
"Uh, thanks? Isn't that kinda cheating though?" Rhys frowned.
"Chris never said we couldn't help each other get our emus." Nathan told him.
"Well, I guess it's not against the rules. Fine." Rhys got on to his emus and began to ride off, Nathan got on his and was about to follow when he heard someone clear his throat. He glanced back to see Jeremiah, his own emu in tow. "What?"
"Seriously? You just helped the enemy team and you ask what?" The musical nerd frowned.
"Lighten up. He's my boyfriend. Of course I'm gonna help him." Nathan said.
"Well I'm starting to think you're more loyal to your boyfriend than the team." Jeremiah said.
"Dude what's your damage? It's just a game." The floater shrugged.
"That may be true, but the emotional distress caused by the members of Team Victory is very real." The musical nerd remarked.
Nathan ignored him and rode off. Jeremiah glanced back and smiled as he saw Leilani had captured a pair of Emu, and was trying to help Patricia onto one of them. "You gonna need help getting on to your own emu Leilani?" He asked.
"I'll be fine, you two go ahead." the horror fanatic said, having finally gotten Patricia on to her emu. Jeremiah nodded, saddled up and set off, Patricia close behind.
(confessional)
Leilani: Hopefully the two of them can use this trip to work through whatever has Patricia so worried about.

Veronica is riding her Emu through the desert. It's not the most graceful thing, but she and Kennedy trail behind her, and Corbyn further behind them. Ed nods and rides his emu up alongside Veronica.
"So I was thinkin' if Rhys has it out fer me, he might target you next." Ed said. "After all he thinks Alejandro is an upstandin' guy, and Kennedy hasn't done anythin' near as bad."
"Yeah, and why would I trust the guy who turned my own alliance member against me?" Veronica pointed out.
"Okay, so ya can't trust me, but let's face it ya can't trust Al either. If he an' Rhys vote me out, you'll be a target. Face it Rhys'll want you gone next, and I can tell ya right now, if votin' ya out will save her own skin, Kennedy'll do it." Ed explained
Veronica frowned. "I'll think about it."
"That's all I ask." the con artist smirked.
(Confessional)
Veronica: So Alejandro and Ed are both trying to play me huh? Excellent.
Static
/
The confessional cuts to show Chris, Chef, and Noah atop hanging rock, a simple tent in the background. "How long do we have to wait?" Chef asked.
"Another two hours maybe?" Chris replied, looking at the map in front of him. Chef folded it out and Chris smiled. "Oops. Make that two days!"
The duo started laughing and Noah huffed. "You take way too much pleasure in this job."
"Hey, they signed the contracts." Chris shrugged.
The desert is shown with the sun switching to the moon, then back again Indicating a passage of time.
/
Jeremiah and Patricia are riding through the desert. Both look hot as they are both wearing hoodies. Despite this they're having a conversation. "So are you going to tell Leilani you like her?" The musical nerd asked.
Patricia sighed. "I want to…"
"But?" Jeremiah encouraged.
"I don't like confrontation." The photographer said.
"Is that why you're so quiet?" He asked.
Patricia said nothing, but rode her emu closer. She took off her camera and began searching through pictures. Eventually she found the one she wanted and showed it to Jeremiah.
In the picture were three people. In the center Patricia. To her left was a guy at least half a foot taller. He looks a lot like Patricia, same black hair, same almond shaped eyes, same olive skin wears a blue soccer jersey. He's giving her a noogie. To her right was a girl around the same height as the boy, but that was where the similarities ended. She had short red hair, green eyes, and pale skin. Her face was covered in freckles. She wears a green jersey. She's holding Patricia's hat out of her reach as the photographer tries to grab it.
Jeremiah gave her a sympathetic look. "Are they family?"
Patricia nodded. "Older siblings. Hector and Ginger. They compete all the time. It scares me. How loud they get. I don't wanna. get yelled at."
Jeremiah nodded. "Older siblings can be the worst." He didn't elaborate. Patricia didn't ask him to. "So you're worried how Leilani will react?" Patricia nodded.
/
Chris, Chef, and Noah are shown on the mountain again. We can tell time has passed as there are several empty boxes of pizza and Chef is whittling a large stick into a musical instrument in that time.
"Think the scorpions got them?" Chris asked as he checked his watch.
"Five to one it's the dingos." Chef chuckled.
"Or the spiders, snakes, and kangaroos." Noah shrugged.
Chef started to play the large horn he had made. Chris began to snap his fingers. Alejandro arrived on his Emu and cleared his throat. Startling the three. "Finally!" The host complained.
"It was your mistake that made us have to wait so long." Noah rolled his eyes.
Veronica, Rhys, and Nathan arrived."Chris, when I get off this show I will personally air your dirty laundry!" The socialite snapped.
"Amigos. You made it." Alejandro smiled at the two boys.
The next two to arrive were Jeremiah and Patricia. The former of which frowned as he saw Nathan around Alejandro. Jeremiah dismounts clumsily and falls to the ground. Patricia winces and jumps off, kneeling to check on him. Veronica is laughing at the musical nerds expense. Patricia attempts to glare at her, but it just looks cute.
The remaining four contestants arrive at nearly the same time, with Leilani in front. Chris smiled. "And the Misfits take the lead!" He announced.
"What! But we all arrived at the same time!" Ed complained.
"Yes, but Leilani was in front, so technically all of team Misfit was here first. You'll just have to wait your turn." Chris told him. The host gestured left as the scene moved to show Chef holding a bungee cord as the Misfits looked on. " Team Misfit get ready to buckle up and take a long walk off a short cliff. What exactly are they jumping into? Find out when we boomerang back on Total Drama World Tour!"
A/N: This chapter was fun to write, a bit difficult mind you but still fun. So many plotlines I've been waiting to start!
Questions:
Is your OC in character?
How did I do at balancing plotlines? There's quite a few of them this episode and I just hope they all got enough time.
