"On the last episode of Total Drama: Diamond Lake, we had our second Redemption challenge with Roman and Paige retaining their tickets for a return against the feisty juvie bird Deena. Our remaining contestants took part in trying to humiliate each other in Impractical Jokers style challenges.

Some kept their cool, others fell apart" shows Andrius' debate with Uma in the finals of the debate tournament. "Meanwhile Orion and Krystal snuck into my private quarters to find more on the case of the 'drowning' that happened at camp, and what they found after an intimate moment shocked both of them.

"How long has that steam bath house been there? And why was there a severed head in there? Anyway, it was our shy small boy Andrius that bit the big one. How will he fair against the monster Roman and courtroom underdog Paige? Who will Uma seduce this time? What's the story of this camp? Find out on this week's episode of...

Total.

Drama.

Diamond Lake!"

The camera opened up with a shot of the southern part of the island. The camera flew past Greg and went straight up into the sky and started to drop into the lake. "Dear mom and dad I'm doing fine, you guys are on my mind." The camera dropped down into the lake revealing Orion, who seemed to be looking for something.

"You asked me what I wanted to be and now I think the answer is plain to see." Orion rises up to get a breath of air, only to knock Brian off of his surfboard.

"I wanna be famous." The camera moved over to the eastern side of the Island, where Rose and Krystal were glaring at each other.

"I wanna live close to the sun." The camera then cut to the activity center behind the mess hall, where Grace was listening to Post play music.

"So pack your bags cause I've already won." The camera moved over to a different part of the Activity Center where it revealed Deena and Roman engaging in an intense arm-wrestling match.

"Everything to prove nothing in my way." The camera turned around and headed over to the mess hall while passing Paige, who seemed to be trying to talk to Andrius.

"I'll get there one day" The camera then went to the kitchen, where counselors DJ and Katie were fighting a slop monster.

Cause I wanna be famous." Inside the mess hall, Linka was trying not to gag at the food and Ryo was staring at it with no emotion in his eyes.

"Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na." The camera headed off to the western side of the island, and quickly showed off Johnny and Uma having a contest to see who the better eye candy is.

"I wanna be, I wanna be, I wanna be famous. I wanna be, I wanna be, I wanna be famous." The camera stopped at Griff, who was giving Maybelle a piggyback ride, only for him to trip and fall into the water. The water cleared from the camera to show all of the campers around a bonfire whistling the tune.

After the opening credits, we see Andrius being driven down the path. He sighed dejectedly, upset that he didn't make enough friends. "I'm kind of honestly surprised I even lasted this long. Who was I even kidding? A guy like winning a game like Total Drama?"

Just then the car stopped, he looked around to see the middle of nowhere "Uh where are we?" he asked the driver.

"Your stop."

"But aren't the losers supposed to go to a nice resort? That's how it goes in every season." Andrius questioned. The driver just kicked him out before driving off, "Ow." he then got up and saw a lantern lit trail, which he followed to a nearby shack. "Well this is new."

"ALRIGHT MAGGOTS! REPORT TO THE DARK FOREST FOR YOUR NEXT IMMUNITY CHALLENGE!"

Andrius jumped into the arms of a nearby Roman at the booming voice, he looked up to see a large scowl on the brute's face. "OOF!" Andrius let out as he was dropped on his bum. Roman stepped over her and towards the trail to the redemption challenge area, "Wha-what's going on?"

"Just follow us and you'll see." Paige said as she passed Andrius, who scampered after the ex Grizzlies.

(5 minutes later)

"LOSERS! YOU'RE NEXT CHANCE FOR A RETURN IS HERE!" Chef bellowed on his microphone.

"A return? Does that mean we can get back to the game?" Andrius wondered.

"What do you think, Tiny?" Roman grunted.

"NO MORE INTERRUPTIONS OR ITS 30 PUSHUPS!" Chef bellowed in the small boy's ear. As the kid rubbed his eardrums, Chef explained the challenge "For this redemption challenge, you three will attempt to build a line of dominos going down these tables." he gestured to the field. "The first two's lines to break through the glass at the end will remain in the fight for a second life."

"Sounds easy enough." Andrius figured.

"NOT!" Andrius groaned at the boom in his ear again, "I'm sure you've noticed that each of your tables has been armed with a series of ropes, even the slightest touch will shake the table's foundation causing your entire line to fall apart."

The three saw how the ropes were aligned, lots of narrow passage ways to maneuver. Andrius tiny stature and Paige's petite form gave them both some relief.

Once all three were in position, "Alright kids, you guys ready for redemption?" Chef questioned.

"I'm always ready." Roman said, focused on the challenge.

"I'll do my best." Paige said.

"Sort of." Andrius gave off a 'eeeeeeeeeh' gesture.

"Iiiiin 3... 2... NOW!"

The three started off, Andrius slipping through the ropes. His 4ft 5 body helped him get a clear shot to the end where the dominos were being held, Paige had a much similar easy route as her body wasn't as short as the only ex panther here but still slim enough to get pass the gaps without setting off the ropes.

Roman on the other hand was having a level of difficulty, his muscles were becoming a hinderance as he kept hitting all the ropes.

Andrius was the first to reach the dominos, the shy guy started his line from the back he set up 3 dominos before stepping through the back ropes and started to continue the line.

Paige then got to her dominos and started to make her line.

Roman was not even halfway through the ropes, when he saw the ropes he figured he'd be in trouble. 'Normally I can just power my way through any challenge, but these ropes are giving me a hard time. I guess I'm just gonna have to take my time here like in the first redemption challenge, and hope the other two struggle.'

Paige saw Roman change up his pace, no longer trying to force his way through the ropes. But she and Andrius were much farther ahead of him, but that doesn't mean he's out yet. 'Gotta be perfect'.

Andrius kept making his line, all the while getting through the rope course that was rigged to the table. Pretty soon he managed to get back to the start, taking a breath before unleashing his chain of dominos. They fell down till it stopped at the middle portion, he groaned before going over to where the chain stopped.

Paige continued to trek the course before she tripped on a rope, causing the table to shake and her chain to fall over. She groaned before going to reset the dominos that fell.

Roman finally made it to the end, but seeing his two opponents' progress he was almost tempted to just give up there. The tiny guy just started his second chain attempt, falling at the 3/4 mark and Paige was almost done with her chain. But then he took out his photo of Jey and Jimmy, and he got back into this fight. Placing his dominos on the table, taking a slow approach to make sure he doesn't set off the ropes.

Andrius and Paige got back to their starting points and set off their chains, falling in unison until the end... where in one chain one domino was still standing while the other reached the end and broke their glass at the end of the table...

... "ANDRIUS TAKES FIRST!"

The bifocaled boy sighed in relief, the lawyer groaned knowing that she'll have to restack those. Paige went back into the ropes to restack, Roman himself kept setting up his chain as he carefully maneuvered the ropes. He had a few close calls but he was nearly complete with his chain.

Paige finally got to the end and moved the dominos into tipping range, but it may be too late as Roman is now back at the start. He silently prays before he taps the first domino, setting off the chain. One by one they fell...

... CRASH

"ROMAN STAYS!" Chef bellows.

Roman sighs in relief as he leans on the table, "We did it Uce." he whispers to himself. "There's still hope for a better life."

Paige groans, "Man."

"Paige, you showed heart in the Dark Forest." Chef said to the lawyer, "But its time for you to leave."

"Thanks Master Chief." Paige salutes Chef, who returns it. Before she leaves she faces the boys, "Andrius, good luck. And Roman, remember what I said." she then gets escorted by interns out of the forest.

On their way back, Andrius observed his new redemption necklace. "Hey." he looks up to Roman, "I gotta say, you showed guts when you tried to protect your team during the Awakethon."

"Um, thaaaaanks." Andrius lets out. "I just, did the first thing to pop in my head when you went crazy. Uh no offense."

"Eh, I don't blame yah." Roman sighed, "To be honest, that wasn't my worse case of sleep depravation induced rage."

"Its not?"

"Nah, once I nearly tore up my apartment building before I finally got a nap." Roman said.

"What happened?"

"5 days of 14 hour shifts of flipping burgers with no morning coffee." Roman explained.

"Aren't you 16?" Andrius questioned.

"17 actually." Roman corrected. "But hopefully if things go well, then maybe I can quit that job and give my tribe a better life than the one we have now."

"Wow." Andrius said, "I had no idea. Were they in that picture I saw you looking at on the way to the redemption challenge?"

"Yep, Jimmy and Jey." Roman sighed, "Those two are the only family I have left, and that's why I have to get back to the game and win. So that I can use the 5 million to give Jimmy and Jey a better life."

"You really think you can win the whole thing?" Andrius questioned, "No returnee has ever won before."

"I have to, its the only way to give those boys a bright future." Roman told him, "Everything I'm doing... is for my boys." Andrius listened to him, and thought to himself.

'Wow, I was way off about him.' the two were in silence the entire rest of the way back to the shack.
