The morning after the Panthers' last elimination, we see Orion and Krystal outside the girl's cabin. The two thought back to the end of their investigation yesterday, having the other person so close to them. It was nice, "So..." Krystal turned to the boy she's fought a crush on for years. "Are we... a thing?" he asked with a bright red face.

"Would... would you like us to be a thing?" Krystal questioned back with her own blush.

"... I've wanted this for so long..."

"... So have I..."

Orion slowly held out a hand, Krystal quickly grabbed it. "Why does this still feel scary?" Orion questioned fearfully.

"I don't know." Krystal said feeling very unsure. "Usually I'm pulled away before we were ever official, and we had to start all over."

"Maybe breakfast could help." Orion suggested.

"Yeah, maybe." Krystal said before dragging him to the mess hall. Both unaware they were being watched by a certain Latina bombshell, she giggled perversely.

Uma: Nothing satisfies more than a love story coming together, well nothing that doesn't involve a bed. But its a shame there fun time was interrupted yesterday, those reading this are probably wondering how I know about their steam bath moment. Well its easy to obtain the footage of the hidden cameras all over this camp with the skills I have, the security of this show is so easy to seduce. But that's not important, what is important is that those two are balls of hormones that are in desperate need of release. When they connect, well I should probably stop here before the author has to raise the rating.

Orion: Me and Krystal. Together. Hehe, life works in odd ways. I just hope we can work things out this time, I should probably inform Ryo about the head me and Krystal found.

Krystal: EEEEEEEEEEE! YES! YESYESYES YES! ORION PALMERS IS MY BOYFRIEND! You hear that dad! I love Orion and you have to accept that!... Um please edit this out of the final cut.

Uma stepped away from the window, glad to see another couple form. "What are you so happy about?" she turned to see Rose sending a glare to Uma's direction.

"Noooooothing." Uma feigned ignorance.

"I can tell you're lying."

Uma frowned, "Fine, just saw your teammates finally become an item. There, happy?"

"You mean Orion and Krystal? Yeah I can feel they had some kind of tension that's brewed for a long time." Rose said. "You're not planning something are you?" she questioned.

"Of course not, I'm not like those people that try to rip apart relationship for amusement or personal gain." Uma told her, "But if they invite to give them some tips on how to make their private time a little more exciting, I'll gladly help them out, so long as I get a piece of that action." she giggled at the prospect.

"Were you conceived in a Vegas motel room?" Rose questioned with a weirded out look.

"Actually my parents said it was during a- look that's not the point." she shook her head, "Anyway you can tell Krystal I'm not gonna try and steal her man from her, I'm not like that. But if she and/or Orion come to me for certain 'advice', who am I to turn them down?"

"Whatever." Rose then started to leave.

"If you want, I could help you handle a beast like Roman." Uma offered.

"No thanks, I'm good." the blind girl stated before she walked out of the cabin. Leaving Uma as she sat on her bed and pulled out a chart.

Brian & Grace: check

Orion & Krystal: check

Andrius & Deena: maybe

Roman & Rose: possibly

Ryo & Linka: ?

Uma snickers, imaging having them all grovel at her feet as her mind went to filthy places.

On the dock of the lake, Ryo and Linka were sitting on the end. The male Panther relaying everything he and Orion found so far concerning the camp's history "I see, so a year after the supposed drowning. Two counselors were found dead, if I had to guess it refers to the counselors that said to have been getting frisky while the drowning was occurring." Linka suggests.

"That has been a theory that I've thought when I first took this case, but if I was the only one who believed it then it wouldn't be believable." Ryo looked into her eyes, "Linka your deductive capabilities are unlike what I've seen before, only one other person I can compare your skills to. More and more I see the comparisons."

Linka groaned, "Again with this? Look I'm really flattered that I remind you of someone you were close to, but really I'm nothing special. I'm just your everyday girl that hopes to become a detective, but it would have been nice to have met you sooner. From where I'm from not many are into solving mysteries, the girls at my school are all 'blah blah blah, pretty hair, blah blah blah, look at my nails, blah blah blah'."

Ryo nearly let out a chuckle at her impression of a stereotypical high school popular chick. "Hey, if you wish to join the mystery solving team consisting of me, Orion and his sister, why don't I give you a little trial case?"

"If you think it'll prove my worth, so be it. What is it?" Linka asked.

"Its about your teammate Griff. Since the show started I've wondered what he's hiding underneath his suit, I have many theories but I've been so busy with this game and my current case of the camp drowning that I can't see if any of them are right." Ryo explained, "I want you to find out what he's hiding, think you can handle that?"

"He has been really secretive, I'll try to see what I can dig up. If someone like you can struggle with a case like this, I don't know how I'll fare."

"Someone like me?" Ryo questioned.

"Nothing. I'll go figure out what's up with him." Linka quickly got up and left, leaving Ryo to ponder more about this Linka character. 'The more I interact with her, the more questions I have.' he thought to himself.

"Hey, Ryo." the boy then saw Orion and Krystal heading to the mess hall, what peaked his interest was the way they were holding hands plus the hues plastered on their faces. "We're heading over to breakfast, you coming?"

"Oh yes, of course." Ryo went over to catch up to them, "Am I safe to assume you two are... courting?"

"Yeah... but we're still a little nervous." Krystal let out.

"That's naturally for any new relationship, just take it at your own pace."

"Thanks... uh-"

"Ryo."

"Ryo, got it."

Orion then spoke up, "By the way Ryo, while you guys were off we found something you will not believe."

"What? What did you find?" Ryo asked.

"I think its best if we show you after the challenge."
