The scene opened with a shot of the abandoned film lot. "Last time on Total Drama: Revenge of the Action...The teams were subjected to their first team challenge. They were "shipwrecked" on an "island" where they had to suffer from boredom for at least 8 hours. Once those 8 hours were up, the teams had to build an escape raft and race back to the cast trailers. The Suspicious Snakes won the challenge and as a reward, they were allowed to throw a sick party at the Craft Services Tent. As for the Legal Eagles, they had to vote someone off at the dreaded Gilded Chris ceremony, and it all came down to lovebirds Nancy and Steve, who did the least to help out during the construction of the escape raft and instead preferred to spend time with each other. In the end, the first person to leave Total Drama: Revenge of the Action was...Nancy, which proves that being hopelessly in love is a bad thing on Total Drama." Chris laughed before the scene cut to him leaning against the Lame-o-sine. "Who will be the next contestant to make the humiliating Walk of Shame and step inside this crappy Lame-o-sine? Find out tonight, on Total...Drama...Revenge of the Action!" He finished as the show's intro proceeded to play.
Two spotlights rose into the air, as a camera popped up from a hole, and another one popped up from a tree as a director's clapper was used.
Dear mom and dad, I'm doing fine.
The camera proceeded to zoom through the studio before reaching a pool, proceeding to go underwater where Moon was shown swimming underwater. A shark swam up behind her, and Moon proceeded to bravely punch the shark in its snout before swimming away, after which the shark rubbed its snout in pain.
You guys are on my mind.
It then cut to above water, where Bernie was standing on top of a surfboard, dodging seagulls that Veronica was shooting at him. He was promptly knocked into the water.
You asked me what I wanted to be,
Veronica laughed after having knocked Bernie into the water, and then proceeded to kiss Derek on the lips as they embraced and grinned at each other.
And I think the answer is plain to see...
The camera then went through a set of doors as Calvin ran past it, being chased by an animatronic monster.
I wanna be famous.
Laurence was standing around and scratching his head in confusion before Angela saved him from a falling stage light. The two then smiled at each other.
I wanna live close to the sun.
The scene then cut to Candace lounging in some beach chairs as she wore a pair of purple aviator shades, flashing a grin.
Go pack your bags 'cause I've already won.
It then cut to Nancy playing her Dual Teen inside the makeup trailer before makeup was being applied to her, causing her to cough and glare in annoyance.
Everything to prove, nothing in my way.
It then cut to Wendy pushing Napoleon off a platform as she grinned in satisfaction.
I'll get there one day.
Napoleon fell down into the kitchen area as one of his shoes fell into a meal Chef had prepared. Chef noticed the shoe in his meal, but shrugged his shoulders before passing it to Jackson, who applied his special spice to the meal and smiled in satisfaction after tasting the meal.
'Cause I wanna be famous.
As Steve was repairing a panel on some special effects board, he accidentally activated the explosions system. He held his right hand over his mouth in shock as he noticed this. Meanwhile, Violetta laughed excitedly at the explosions that had just occurred before noticing an angry bear next to her, and proceeded to chase after it to scare it away.
Na na na na na na, na na na na na, na na na na na na.
As Violetta and the bear ran past a limosine, the window rolled down to reveal Karen and Bob, the latter opening the limosine door as the scene cut to photo cameras flashing and journalists holding notepads.
I wanna be, I wanna be, I wanna be famous!
The scene then showed Chris standing on a stage dressed in a white tuxedo with a red bowtie and white dress shoes, holding a card in his hands. He then looked at Chef, who was dressed in his pink glitter dress with pink glitter gloves, pink glitter chef hat and pink pumps, angrily gritting his teeth at Chris.
I wanna be, I wanna be, I wanna be famous!
The scene then cut to Danny and Rooney sitting on a couch together, as they laughed at the scene with Chris and Chef, which was being projected on a tv behind them.
[Whistling] I wanna be, I wanna be famous.
The camera then zoomed out to reveal all the competitors and non-competitors sitting on couches on a stage, with Danny and Rooney sitting on a couch in the middle.
The scene then cut to the boys' trailer, where all the guys were waking up from their sleep. "Aaaah...Morning, guys..." Bob groaned.
"Morning, Bob..." Danny groaned as well.
"Yeah, morning..." Rooney added, groaning as well.
"Hey, Steve. You okay, man?" Jackson asked Steve in his calm and soothing voice.
Steve nodded. "Yeah, I'm okay, Jackson. Thanks for asking. Nancy might be gone, but now that I'm here, I might as well play the game until I either reach the finale or get voted off myself." He replied to Jackson as he got out of bed.
Jackson smiled. "That's the spirit, man. Now come on, breakfast awaits." He replied back. The scene then cut to the girls' trailer, where the girls were waking up from their sleep as well.
"Aaaah...Morning, girls..." Violetta groaned.
"Morning, Violetta..." Candace groaned as well.
"Yeah, morning..." Moon added.
"It must've been unfortunate to vote off Nancy last night, huh?" Karen asked as she got out of bed.
"Meh, we just did what we had to do. She and Steve did the least to help out during the raft construction." Veronica shrugged as she got out of bed as well.
"Good point, and well made." Karen nodded as she walked up to Veronica.
"Well, I'd say we'd better go grab some breakfast. We might need it for today's challenge." Wendy then pointed out.
The scene then cut to the Craft Services Tent, where the teams were having breakfast: Peking Duck pancakes topped with Jackson's special spice.
"You did good with the cooking again today, Agent Jackson. Whatever you're cooking up, it's delicious because of your special spice." Calvin told Jackson.
Jackson chuckled quietly. "Thank you, Calvin. I aim to please whoever I might be cooking for at the time." He replied as he ate.
"Okay, team. Quick pep talk: We all did good on the challenge yesterday by winning it. Let's aim to win today's challenge as well. I want to try to win as many challenges as we can before the merge hits." Wendy told her team.
"I think we could manage that. Do you think we could manage that, Moon?" Laurence asked Moon.
"Well, we might not be able to win every challenge before the merge hits, but like Wendy said, we can try to win as many challenges as we can before the merge hits." Moon replied to Laurence.
Laurence nodded. "That sounds like a plan! What about the rest of you guys?" He asked the other Suspicious Snakes.
"Works for me." Angela shrugged.
"Works for me as well." Bob nodded.
"It certainly does for me." Jackson added.
"That sounds like good assignment given to this team. Commence Operation Challenge Victory." Calvin nodded.
"I agree with Moon. Let's try to win as many challenges as we can before the merge hits." Karen nodded.
"Yeah! I'm sure we can do that!" Candace added as well.
The Legal Eagles could overhear the other team's conversation from their table. "You hear that, guys? They're gonna try and win as many challenges as they can before the merge hits. I think we should aim for the same goal. Are you with me on that?" Napoleon asked the rest of his team.
"Oh, I'm definitely with you on winning as many challenges as we can, Napoleon. We might not be able to win them all, but we can win most of them if we know what we're doing." Violetta nodded.
"I agree with Violetta. Let's aim to win as many challenges as we possibly can before the merge hits." Danny spoke as he nodded his head.
"Yeah, we'll be a strong team that way until the teams are merged." Rooney added as he nodded his head as well.
Bernie then looked outside before noticing something odd up in the sky. "Hey, guys. Don't those balloons that are flying up there look very familiar?" He asked, pointing at said balloons. The balloons in question were the ones that flew away with most of the contestants from Total Drama All-Stars inside!
"Holy smokes, you're right, Bernie! Those balloons do look familiar!" Violetta replied.
The Suspicious Snakes turned to look at the balloons as well. "Yeah, the contestants from Total Drama All-Stars who flew away in those balloons are probably still inside!" Moon added.
"Should we try and rescue them?" Laurence asked.
"Of course, God dang it! Let's save them!" Calvin replied as the two teams rushed outside to go grab a bunch of things to set up a rescue operation. They put a giant soft mat on the ground for the contestants to land on and set up a harpoon gun to shoot them out of the sky.
"Okay, Steve! Ready...aim...fire!" Napoleon shouted as Steve fired a harpoon gun at one of the balloons, freeing Lindsay in the process as she landed on the soft mat.
"Phew...I'm glad to finally be out of that weird inflatable thing...I was getting tired of riding it." Lindsay sighed in relief.
"Okay, we got Lindsay freed! Now the rest!" Napoleon said.
"Okay, here goes nothing...Fire!" Steve exclaimed as he fired another harpoon at another balloon, freeing Lightning in the process as he landed on the soft mat.
"Sha-Zooie! I'm finally free!" Lightning exclaimed in euphoria.
"Okay, Lightning's free as well!" Wendy shouted.
"Here comes another harpoon!" Steve shouted as he launched another harpoon at a balloon, freeing Jo in the process as she landed on the soft mat.
"Ugh! Man, am I glad to finally get out of the smelly balloon!" Jo scoffed.
"There's Jo!" Moon shouted.
"Ready...aim...fire!" Steve shouted as he launched another harpoon at a balloon, freeing Sam in the process as he landed on the soft mat.
"Ah, thank goodness. Such a relief to be out of there." Sam sighed in relief.
"Ready...aim...fire!" Steve shouted as he fired another harpoon at a balloon, freeing Sierra in the process as she landed on the soft mat.
"Oh, thank you so much for freeing me!" Sierra told the contestants gratefully.
"Ready...aim...fire!" Steve shouted as he fired another harpoon at a balloon, freeing Duncan in the process as he landed on the soft mat. He was still dressed in his prison uniform.
"Ugh...I'm...so...GLAD I'M FINALLY OUT OF THAT STUPID BALLOON!" Duncan shouted.
"Ready...aim...fire!" Steve shouted as he fired another harpoon at a balloon, freeing Courtney in the process as she landed on the soft mat.
"Ah! Finally! About time I was let out of that smelly balloon!" Courtney remarked.
Finally, Steve fired another harpoon at the final balloon, freeing Scott in the process as he landed on the soft mat.
"Wow, really? Contestants on Total Drama being nice to me? That's a lot that can't be said from Chris McLean." Scott remarked.
Chris then came driving over in a golf cart. "Oh, you freed the contestants that we've been looking for for a few years now! Nice work!" Chris told the contestants. All of the recently freed contestants, except for Lindsay and Sierra proceeded to glare at Chris. "What? Too soon?" Chris asked, acting all unaware. The scene then cut to Violetta inside the confessional.
"Hoo, boy. I understand that those guys are pretty mad at Chris for letting them fly away and ride the wind current in those balloons for years now. I would be too, so I don't blame them. I bet there'll be lawsuits up the butt now. But knowing Chris, he'll settle something with them to make them drop the charges. I've seen enough Total Drama in the past to know that Chris always has something up his sleeve to keep lawsuits at bay." Violetta explained to the camera before the scene cut to Napoleon inside the confessional.
"Chris better have some really good tricks up his sleeve to save himself from a good chunk of lawsuits that the guys we just freed are gonna be slapping him with. I mean, they looked really pissed off when they saw Chris. Honestly, I don't blame them. I'd be too if I had to go through to whatever they had to go through inside those balloons all that time." Napoleon explained as he shrugged his shoulders. The scene then cut back to the Craft Services Tent, where the contestants were awaiting Chris to come explain the challenge to them.
"What's taking Chris so long to come in here and explain the challenge to us?" Angela groaned.
"He's currently talkin' to those contestants ya just freed from those balloons. Tryna settle things to make 'em drop any charges they might be plannin' to throw onto us." Chef replied to Angela.
"Yeah, that makes a lot of sense." Angela nodded. Chris then proceeded to enter the Craft Services Tent.
"Well, what did they say?" Chef asked Chris.
"After lots and lots of discussing and negotiating, we were able to come to an agreement. The contestants that these contestants just freed agreed to be my interns for this season in exchange for dropping the charges." Chris replied to Chef.
"Wow, really? You must be a really great negotiator to get them to do that." Wendy jokingly replied to Chris.
"Oh, believe me, Wendy, I am." Chris replied back before clearing his throat. "Anyway, with that out of the way, it's finally time to explain today's challenge to you! Today's genre is: Film noir. Chef, would you be so kind to explain the general theme of the genre to our contestants?" Chris asked Chef.
"Film noirs are black and white movies that mostly focus on crime, nihilism and other morbid themes. So you're gonna be doin' something along those lines for today's challenge." Chef explained to the contestants.
Chris smiled and nodded. "Exactly. So here's the deal: One of my interns has been "killed", and it's your job to find out who did it. Use your sleuthing skills, as well as the clues to figure out which of the other interns did it, and where the victim was murdered. The first team to solve the case wins the challenge and won't have to send someone home tonight. Chef, would you be so kind to escort the teams to the set they'll be playing the challenge at, please?" Chris asked Chef after explaining the challenge to the contestants.
"Can't ya get one of your new interns to do it?" Chef asked Chris in response.
"...You're right. I'll get one of them to do it." Chris replied. The scene then cut to the teams sitting in two trolleys that were being driven by Lightning for the Suspicious Snakes and by Jo for the Legal Eagles, respectively.
"So, Lightning, what made you and the others become Chris' interns in the first place?" Laurence asked Lightning.
"Chris promised Lightning he'd get good cash for his internship. Money makes the world go round, y'know? That's why Lightning took the offer." Lightning replied to Laurence.
Laurence nodded. "Okay, that's cool!" He replied back.
"I bet he's gonna use the money Chris is gonna pay him to save up for his own place to train at." Karen whispered to Bob.
Bob chuckled. "Yeah, I bet." He whispered back.
Meanwhile, the Legal Eagles were having a conversation with Jo themselves. "So, Jo...How does it feel to be back at Total Drama?" Violetta asked Jo.
Jo sighed. "So far, it sucks. But he promised me a lot of money if I work for him as an intern this season. He'd better give me said money, or else I'm gonna be pressing charges anyway." She replied to Violetta.
Violetta nodded. "Good luck with that, I guess." She lightly chuckled.
"Don't laugh, Loud Mouth. I'm just trying to get by in this stupid economy." Jo warned Violetta as she was driving the trolley towards the challenge set.
"Okay, sheesh..." Violetta replied with a sigh. The two trolleys soon arrived at the set.
"Sha-Sweet! We made it to the set! Everybody out!" Lightning told the Suspicious Snakes as they got off the first trolley.
"Okay, we're here! Everybody out!" Jo told the Legal Eagles as they got off the second trolley. The two teams then walked onto the set with Lightning and Jo following behind. They soon found Sam lying on the ground, pretending to be dead as he was surrounded by crime scene tape.
"Okay, looks like we're supposed to find out who killed Sam, huh?" Laurence asked as he looked at Sam's "corpse."
"That's the idea, yeah." Candace nodded.
"Well, the first thing we should do is try and find any clues to get us a step closer to finding out who the murderer is, and where the victim was murdered." Wendy suggested. "Me and Jackson are gonna check the foyer, Karen and Bob are gonna check the bathroom, Laurence and Moon are gonna check the kitchen and Candace, Angela and Calvin are gonna check the bedroom. Does that work for everyone?" Wendy asked her team. Everyone gestured "Yes."
"Okay, off we go then!" Wendy said as the Suspicious Snakes split up to go find clues hidden around the set.
"I suggest splitting up in pairs as well. I'll take Steve to go check the bedroom, Veronica and Derek are gonna check the kitchen, Violetta and Bernie are gonna check the bathroom and Danny and Rooney are gonna check the foyer. Does that work for everyone?" Napoleon asked his team. Everyone once again gestured "Yes."
"Okay, good luck then." Napoleon replied as the Legal Eagles split into pairs as well to go find clues hidden around the set.
The scene then cut to Wendy and Jackson checking out the foyer for any clues that could help them find out who the killer could be. "Found anything yet, Jackson?" Wendy asked Jackson as she was searching the foyer for clues.
"I'm doing my best, Wendy." Jackson replied in his usual calm and soothing voice as he searched the drawers for any clues before finding something. "Hey, I got something." He then said.
Wendy smiled as she walked over. "Oh, good! What is it?" She asked.
Jackson showed the object he had found: It was a hook. "This hook looks familiar. I think it belongs to Duncan." Jackson replied as held the hook in his hand.
Wendy nodded. "Alright, so that's one clue down. So this hook belongs to Duncan, but if we were to make assumptions with only one clue like this then it might be false. I suggest searching the foyer some more, since there might be more clues around here that could be of use to our case." She suggested to Jackson.
Jackson nodded. "Sounds like a plan, captain. Lead the way." He replied with a smile as the two of them continued searching the foyer, unaware that Danny and Rooney were spying on them, having seen them find the first clue.
"Did you see that, Rooney? They found the first clue." Danny whispered to his best friend.
Rooney nodded. "Yeah, I did see it. Do you think we should report this back to Napoleon?" He whispered back.
Danny nodded. "I think we should. I think we should also take that hook as proof that we got a clue." He whispered back again.
"Sounds like a plan." Rooney whispered back again before him and Danny looked at Jackson and Wendy.
"I'll keep the hook in my pocket to keep it safe." Jackson suggested to Wendy as he put the hook into the rear pocket of his pants.
"Just be careful you don't accidentally stab yourself by keeping that thing in your rear pocket. You might end up hurting yourself." Wendy warned him.
Jackson nodded. "I understand, Wendy. I'll be careful with that hook in my rear pocket." He assured her.
Wendy nodded. "Okay. I just don't want you to have to leave the studio because you hurt yourself by sitting on a hook you forgot you had in your pocket." She told Jackson.
"I understand, Wendy. I appreciate the concern." Jackson replied as him and Wendy went back to searching the foyer for clues. The scene then cut to Jackson inside the confessional.
"I actually know what it's like to sit on a hook. One time when I was 7, me and my friends were playing pirate, and my friends thought it was funny to put a hook on my chair. I didn't notice that hook was on the chair, and so I sat down on it. Man, that really hurt. Ever since, I've been careful around hooks like Duncan's, and I'm trying my best not to accidentally sit down, that's why I gotta remember I have it in my rear pocket at all times." Jackson explained before the scene cut to Violetta and Bernie checking the bathroom for clues.
"Found anything yet, Violetta?" Bernie asked his love interest as he was searching the bathroom for clues that could help his team solve the murder mystery.
"I think I found something!" Violetta called back as she held up a large mutant shark tooth.
"Oh, cool! We found Scott's shark tooth!" Bernie said as he ran over. "You think that could be a clue in the mystery?" He asked Violetta.
Violetta smiled and nodded. "I'm pretty sure it is. I'm gonna keep it on me as a piece of evidence in our case." She replied as she put the shark tooth away. "Did you manage to find anything in particular, Bernie?" She then asked her love interest.
"I managed to find Sierra's photo camera with some photos on them. Perhaps those photos could help us solve the case." Bernie replied as he showed Violetta the photo camera belonging to Sierra that he had found.
"Ooh, gimme that!" Violetta replied as she took the photo camera and the two of them started looking at the photos that were currently on the camera. These photos showed a silhouette of the culprit, although the silhouette was rather vague, so they couldn't exactly make out who the culprit was.
"Do you think that the person this silhouette belongs to is the culprit of this murder case?" Bernie asked Violetta.
"Shhhh! These walls have ears, you know?" Violetta quietly told Bernie.
"Oh, right. There could be other people around." Bernie quietly replied.
"Well, let's report back to Napoleon with what we've found." Violetta suggested as she and Bernie left the bathroom. Soon after, Karen emerged from behind a bathtub as Bob emerged from a bathroom cabinet.
"Man, I'm just glad they didn't look inside this cabinet, or else my hiding spot would be blown." Bob sighed in relief.
"I'm glad that they didn't look behind the bathtub, or my hiding spot would be blown as well." Karen replied before looking back to the bathroom door. "We should go and nab the evidence they just found when they're not looking. That'll give our team an advantage in cracking the case." She suggested to Bob.
Bob nodded. "We gotta try and steal the evidence when both of them have their backs turned on us. Then, we gotta be as stealthy as possible and take the evidence from them." He added, after which Karen nodded in agreement.
"Okay, sounds like a plan." Karen replied as she and Bob proceeded to sneak out of the bathroom after Violetta and Bernie to try and steal the evidence they had just found. The scene then cut to Karen inside the confessional.
"Okay, have you ever seen the videos of the American Black Friday sales where housewives eye gouge each other over discount toasters? Well, what we're doing during this challenge is a bit like that, except that my team is trying to nab evidence from the other team to use to try and win the challenge. Don't you just love a bargain?" Karen asked the camera with a wink before the scene cut to Laurence and Moon searching the kitchen for clues to use in the murder mystery.
"Did you find anything interesting, Moon?" Laurence asked Moon, turning to her.
Moon turned to Laurence as well as she was searching some kitchen cabinets. "Well, I found one of Lightning's shoes in here. I think that could at least be some form of evidence." She replied to her friend with a smile.
"Ooh, great! Can I keep it for research purposes? I promise I'll take really good care of it!" Laurence asked with a reassuring smile.
Moon thought about it before smiling at Laurence. "Okay, Laurence. Remember: Don't lose it, as it's important to assure our team's victory during the challenge today." She warned her friend before handing him Lightning's shoe.
"Okay! Thanks, Moon!" Laurence happily replied as he took the shoe before the scene cut to Laurence inside the confessional.
"Okay, Moon entrusted me with this piece of evidence in the investigation of the murder of Sam. I gotta prove to Moon that I'm responsible enough to keep the evidence on me until we've found enough evidence to find the killer. I must not disappoint Moon and the rest of my team, so I'm keeping this shoe on me at all times." Laurence explained to the camera before the scene cut to Moon inside the confessional.
"Laurence might not be the brightest light of us all, but he means well, and I trust that he'll be able to take care of the evidence I gave him. If we end up losing the challenge because Laurence lost the evidence, then I'll take full responsibility for it and make sure that Laurence won't be voted off, because I can't really blame anyone but myself if we lose, because I was the one who gave Laurence that evidence." Moon explained to the camera before the scene cut back to the challenge, where Veronica and Derek were spying on Laurence and Moon.
"We gotta get in there and steal that evidence from them somehow. We need it to complete the case." Derek whispered to Veronica.
Veronica nodded. "I'll try and nab it from them when I get the chance." She whispered back. She and Derek then looked back at Laurence and Moon as they began to leave the kitchen, since there was no more evidence left to find in the kitchen. As Laurence and Moon were leaving, Lightning's shoe dropped from Laurence's pocket because Laurence didn't put the shoe in his pocket properly. Veronica and Derek looked at each other and grinned as Veronica quickly grabbed the shoe off the ground. The scene then cut to Derek inside the confessional.
"That blond oaf Laurence forgot to put the shoe in his pocket properly, which caused it to drop from his pocket, allowing us to take it easily. The wonders of Laurence's stupidity...it sometimes brings success to me and Veronica." Derek laughed before the scene cut to Napoleon and Steve searching the bedroom for any evidence that could help them find the culprit.
"Have you found anything, Steve?" Napoleon asked Steve as he searched a closet for evidence.
"I found a shoe belonging to Duncan underneath the bed." Steve replied as he held up Duncan's shoe.
Napoleon smiled. "Ah, good. Keep that shoe on you very well, we can't lose it now." He told Steve as he continued searching the closet for evidence, eventually finding a piece of cloth from Duncan's prison uniform. "Hey, isn't this a piece of cloth from Duncan's prison uniform?" Napoleon asked Steve as he showed him the piece of cloth.
Steve smiled and nodded. "That definitely looks like it." He replied. Danny and Rooney then came running into the bedroom with Duncan's hook they had stolen from Wendy and Jackson.
"Napoleon, Napoleon! We managed to nab some evidence off the other team!" Danny told Napoleon.
"Yeah, it might help us in our case!" Rooney added.
"Hey, idiots! Not so loud! These walls have ears, you know!" Napoleon hissed.
"Oh, right. Sorry." Danny quietly replied.
"Yeah. Anyway, here's what we found." Rooney quietly added as he showed Duncan's hook to Napoleon.
Napoleon smiled. "That's Duncan's hook. We managed to find Duncan's shoe and a piece of cloth from his prison uniform. I'd say that we have enough evidence to appoint a culprit, boys." He told his team members.
Steve, Danny and Rooney grinned upon hearing that. "Great! Let's report to Chris with what we've found!" Steve replied happily. The scene then cut to the two teams standing with Chris and the interns.
"So, teams...You think you know who the culprit is?" Chris asked the two teams.
Napoleon smirked. "I know we know who the culprit is for sure. And we also believe we know where said culprit murdered the victim." He replied confidently.
"Really, huh? Lay it on me then." Chris replied.
Napoleon nodded and showed the evidence they had found: Duncan's hook, shoe and a piece of cloth from his prison uniform. Wendy gasped upon seeing the hook in Napoleon's hand before angrily looking at Jackson.
"I thought you had that hook safely stored into your rear pocket!" Wendy angrily told Jackson.
"I did have it safely stored into my rear pocket! Someone on the other team must've took it while I wasn't looking!" Jackson protested.
"Well, you should've kept a better eye on your rear pocket, Jackson!" Wendy angrily scoffed.
"Based on this evidence, we believe that Duncan is the culprit, and he murdered Sam in the bedroom, as we found most of this evidence in the bedroom." Napoleon explained to Chris.
Chris smirked and looked to Duncan. "Duncan, is that true?" He asked him.
Duncan groaned. "Okay, you got me! I did it!" He admitted. The Legal Eagles cheered, because they had just won the challenge.
"And that concludes the challenge! The Legal Eagles win!" Chris announced. The Suspicious Snakes, on the other hand, were less happy, because they now had to go to the Gilded Chris ceremony to vote someone off. "Suspicious Snakes, unfortunately, that also means you lost the challenge, which means I'll be seeing your sorry butts at the Gilded Chris ceremony tonight. Pick your best loser, and then we'll send them on a ride to Loserville." Chris told the Suspicious Snakes. The scene then cut to Jackson inside the confessional.
"Aw, man. I really screwed up the challenge by letting Duncan's hook get stolen from me. I should've kept a better eye on my rear pocket. I fear that I'm going for a ride in the Lame-o-sine tonight..." Jackson gulped before the scene cut to Wendy inside the confessional.
"Jackson screwed up the challenge for us by letting the other team steal Duncan's hook for him. He's got to go, no matter how nice his cooking may be." Wendy told the camera before the scene cut to the Craft Services Tent, where the Suspicious Snakes were discussing who to vote off.
"Okay, I think we all agree that Jackson screwed up the challenge today, and he should be punished for that." Wendy told her team.
"I don't know, Wendy. His cooking's great, and I kinda wanna keep him around a bit longer because of that." Angela shrugged as he ate.
"Angela's right, Wendy. Jackson's a great cook, and I'm willing to forgive him for screwing up the challenge today because of that." Candace added.
"Well, who would you wanna vote off then?" Wendy asked the girls.
"What about Laurence?" Angela asked as she pointed at Laurence.
"What? Why me?" Laurence asked Angela.
"Hey, at least he didn't let Duncan's hook get stolen from him, Angela!" Moon pointed out, defending her friend Laurence.
Angela sighed. "You're right..." She groaned.
"Guys, I admit, I screwed up during the challenge today. Feel free to vote me off at the ceremony tonight." Jackson told his team.
"Are you sure, Agent Jackson? We enjoy your cooking around here." Calvin told Jackson.
"Yes, I'm sure. I might be a good cook, but I still screwed up the challenge, and I take full responsibility for that. So, again, feel free to vote me off tonight." Jackson replied. The scene then cut to the Gilded Chris ceremony at night. Chris was dressed in his tuxedo again while Chef was dressed in his pink glitter outfit again.
"There are only 8 Gilded Chris Awards on this speech booth. When I call your name, stand up and claim your Gilded Chris. The contestant who does not receive a Gilded Chris tonight must immediately make their way down the Walk of Shame, step aboard the Lame-o-sine and immediately leave this film lot. And you can't come back...ever." Chris began. "The first Gilded Chris goes to...Karen."
Karen smiled as she stood up and caught her Gilded Chris Award.
"Laurence." Laurence smiled as he caught his Gilded Chris Award as well.
"Angela." Angela grinned as she caught her Gilded Chris Award.
"Candace...and Bob." Candace and Bob proceeded to catch their Gilded Chris Awards as well.
"Wendy...and Calvin." Wendy and Calvin grinned as they caught their Gilded Chris Awards. It was now down to Jackson and Moon.
"Contestants...This...is the final Gilded Chris Award of the evening. And that Gilded Chris Award goes to...

Moon sighed in relief before looking at Jackson. "We're gonna miss you and your cooking, Jackson. Good luck out there, okay?" She told Jackson as she hugged him.
Jackson smiled and hugged her back. "I'm gonna miss you guys as well. You take care, yeah?" He asked in his usual calm and soothing voice as he got up from the bleachers and walked down the Walk of Shame to the Lame-o-sine.
"Moon's right, Jackson! We are gonna miss you and your cooking!" Candace told Jackson as he walked down the Walk of Shame.
"Yeah! Any meal we'll eat from now on is gonna be in your memory!" Angela added.
Jackson smiled at the other Suspicious Snakes. "Thanks, guys. That's really nice of you. I hope I'll be seeing all of you at the Aftermath." He replied before stepping inside the Lame-o-sine and closing the door. The Lame-o-sine then drove off with Jackson inside. The camera then turned back to Chris.
"And that wraps up tonight's Gilded Chris ceremony. Enjoy your awards, because you're safe...for now." Chris told the remaining 8 members of the Suspicious Snakes.
"Okay, to the Suspicious Snakes, and on not being here next time." Wendy said as the Suspicious Snakes clinked their Gilded Chris Awards together as if they were toasting with drinks.
