(During the softball challenge)

Meanwhile, thousands of miles away.

Paige's first morning at Playa De Losers was spent in the living room, watching he favorite show with a bowl of oatmeal provided by the staff. As the credits roll, "I swear is there anything Liz Benson can't do. Nothing can ruin this day."

"Hey." greeted Johnny as he sat uncomfortably close to her in what could be considered suave voice.

"I stand corrected." she groaned.

"Come on sweet cheeks, give papa some sugar." he leaned in, only to get a face full of oatmeal. Paige then got up and left to leave, Johnny wiped off his face as Deena walked by in her swim wear. He then tried his luck with her. "Sup gi-"

POW

Down goes Johnny before Deena skipped away to the balcony pool, where she passed Paige at the bar. "Uh what's that?" Paige asked as she pointed to the object Deena was swinging, the juvie bird held it up.

"A sock full of peanut butter?"

Paige raised an eyebrow, "Why do you have that?"

"Uh, for swinging." she said like it was the most obvious thing in the world. "To defend myself against purse snatchers, bullies, or boys that try to cop a feel."

"Why peanut butter?" Paige questioned.

"Because the cops took away my cement pantyhose, turns out it dries super quickly. Hold this for me." she tossed Paige the sock before cannonballing into the pool. The lawyer held the sock away before placing it down on the counter.

(The night of Griff's elimination)

Orion paced in the middle of the boy's cabin, just then Ryo arrived. "How did it go? Did you get a confession?"

"Yep, she stole your idol." Ryo nodded.

"I knew it." Orion grumbled.

"And she just used it to save herself." the detective added.

"Seriously!" Orion exclaimed, "Great, I wrestled a flock of bats for that idol and now I can't even use it." he plopped down on his bed.

Ryo, feeling bad for his friend, reached into his pocket. "Here, you can have mine." he tossed Orion his idol.

Orion caught the idol, "What? Really? You sure?" he asked.

"Positive, not like I'll need it."

"Well, thanks Ryo." he stashed his new idol in a hidden pocket inside his jacket. He's usually hidden stuff in his hat, but after that's been compromised he had to change his hiding spot. "So did you get the results about that head?"

Ryo gave him the papers.

Orion looked them over, "Priscilla Harvees? But that's the name of-"

"Jaxon's dead mother, who died ten years ago." Ryo said. Orion's face turned into one of terror as Ryo continued, "This case has taken a seriously dark turn."

"Oh man." Orion said, just then he heard a loud beep "GAH!" he then looked at his phone, "Oh yeah, I'm supposed to hang out with Krystal tonight. I better get going, got something big planned." the male twin got up for his next date with his girlfriend.

"Have fun." Ryo said as Orion walked out. The twin gulping as soon as he got outside before heading out to the woods.

(After Post's loss in the Redemption challenge)

Roman and Andrius had just returned to the shack, retaining their tickets back to the game. "Man, that last challenge was brutal." Roman said as he sat down on one of the beds.

"Tell me about." Andrius replied as he tilted his head, "I'm still clearing out the water from my ear." he then sat down on the other bed. "I don't know how much more of this I can take."

"Just tough it out man, we should be done with the Dark Forest soon. It'll be worth it when we're back in contention for 5 mil." Roman told him. "Speaking of which, what do you plan on using the money for?"

"I... didn't really think that far ahead." Andrius admitted, "My mom signed me up in the hopes that I could make some friends, frankly I'm surprised I'm still here at this point."

"Well, how's it going so far?" Roman asked.

"Eeeeeeh, I'm not so sure." Andrius gave a '50-50' gesture "I mean I've talked in more complete sentences than usual, but I also haven't interacted with the others as much as I'd hope. Not sure I'll ever make a real friend." he looked down.

"Uh, what about me?" the brute was then given a confused look.

"What about you?"

"Aren't we friends?"

Andrius blinked, "I thought you didn't want friends."

"Maybe at first, but lately I figured it... would be nice to have someone to hang with." Roman replied.

"I guess that makes sense." Andrius said, after some thought. "Well, if you really want then... sure." The two boys then shared a little fist bump, Andrius a little softly. "So, now what?" Andrius asked.

"... Want to go work out with me?"

"I guess, nothing else to do."
