The episode opened with a shot of the abandoned film lot. "Last time, on Total Drama: Revenge of the Action...the teams went on a dangerous treasure hunt for the Golden Egg in the Temple of Scott, which was ridden with dangerous booby traps controlled by the boob whom the temple was named after. Wendy was starting to get under Karen's skin by being bossy, and Laurence managed to get himself some serious 3rd degree burns after falling into a pit of piping hot tomato soup. Because of this, Laurence had to be evacuated from the film lot and couldn't continue competing." Chris explained as he gave a recap of last episode's events before the scene cut to him standing outside the film lot's entrance.
"Now that Laurence is gone, who will be the next contestant heading home? Which team will emerge victorious in the neverending war that is the competition? Will my new interns be slapping me with a lawsuit anyway? And will my contract be renewed for Season 9 of this show if we do end up making a Season 9? To find out the answer to all those questions, tune in to the most gruesome episode yet, of Total...Drama...Revenge of the Action!" Chris 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 girls' trailer, where the girls were all waking up from their sleep. Veronica yawned and stretched and then hopped from her bed and began doing some morning push-ups. "Morning, ladies." She said to the other ladies who were still in the game.
"Morning, Veronica." They replied in unison. Karen and Violetta still looked upset about Laurence's fate last episode. Angela and Candace took notice of this.
"Hey, are you girls alright?" Angela asked them.
"Yeah, I'm fine. I'm just still upset about what happened to Laurence yesterday. I hope he's doing fine in the hospital..." Violetta sighed.
"Girl, I'm upset about what happened back there as well. But I'm sure Laurence would've wanted us to move on from that incident and continue the competition for him." Karen told her as she placed a hand on her back.
"She's right, Violetta. It stinks that Laurence ain't around anymore, but he can get through the hospital treatment. I'm sure he'll be all patched up by the time the Aftermath rolls around." Veronica agreed with Karen.
"Indeed. So chin up and let's get back to trying to win challenges, okay?" Wendy chimed in.
Violetta nodded. "I suppose so. Thanks for the support, girls. I appreciate it." She smiled.
Candace grinned at that. "That's the spirit, Violetta! Now let's go get ourselves ready for breakfast!" She cheered.
"Sounds like a plan." Angela nodded.
The scene later cut to the Craft Services Tent, where the teams were having breakfast once again. "Alright, we've won the last challenge, so we're back on the right track in my eyes." Napoleon told his team. "Let's all give our best shot at the next challenge, no matter how hard it may be, alright?" He added.
"Of course, Napoleon. We're gonna do our best to give it our all at the next challenge. It's the best we can do at this current moment." Derek agreed.
"I wonder what movie genre Chris has selected for this episode..." Danny wondered out loud.
"Well, whatever the movie genre is gonna be, I'm sure the challenge is gonna be a fun one." Steve replied with a smile.
Veronica chuckled. "Yeah, I bet. Perhaps he'll use a movie genre he's used before in Season 2." She replied.
Meanwhile, the Suspicious Snakes were also discussing things. "Alright, let's get down to business, guys. We. Have. To win. The challenge today. Because if we don't, we're gonna have to vote another one of us off. And we wouldn't want that now, do we?" Wendy told her team.
"Well, it was your fault that Laurence was evacuated from the film lot yesterday, because you made him cross that "lava pit" and caused him to get 3rd degree burns." Karen pointed out.
"She's right, Wendy. It's your fault Laurence is gone." Bob nodded in agreement. Wendy glared at Karen and Bob for a moment.
-Confessional: Wendy-
"I know it's my fault that Laurence was evacuated, but I already apologized to Laurence about it, so that should make things right, doesn't it? No need to confront me about it."
-End Confessional-
As the teams were minding their own business, Chris suddenly blew on a whistle to get their attention. When they turned to look at Chris, they could see he was dressed in a military officer's outfit. "Attention! It's time for me to explain today's challenge to you all! Today's movie genre: War!" Chris told the contestants in a faux deep voice.
"War movies, eh? I enjoy a good war movie. My favorite would have to be The Trenches of the Somme." Angela spoke up.
Karen smiled at that. "Oh, I love that movie as well! I especially love the scene where the main character manages to save his best friend from that incoming bomb shell by taking it himself! It was such a heroic sacrifice!" She replied.
Bob smiled and nodded. "I remember when I first saw that movie and that scene came on. I actually cried when I first saw that scene as a kid." He agreed with Karen and Angela.
"Well, anyway, go get ready for the challenge. Courtney and Jo will bring you to the challenge set in 30 minutes." Chris then spoke before he left the Craft Services Tent again. The teams looked at each other before they got up and went to prepare themselves for the challenge.
-Confessional: Karen-
"I'm gonna give it my all at that challenge today. I wasn't gonna let my team lose that challenge after what happened to Laurence yesterday. Laurence, if you see this on tv, know that I will try and have my team win as many challenges for you as possible."
-End Confessional-
The teams were soon being driven towards the challenge set in their trolleys. The Suspicious Snakes' trolley was being driven by Courtney, and the Legal Eagles' trolley was being driven by Jo.
"So, Agent Courtney, how are things looking between you and Agent Duncan?" Calvin asked Courtney curiously.
Courtney sighed. "If you really want to know, wounds from the past are starting to heal, I suppose. Now that we're stuck working as Chris' interns for this season, we've been able to talk it over when we're off duty. At first, we tried avoid each other as much as possible, but seeing as we couldn't avoid each other forever, we eventually began to talk things over. I think we're on the right path to recovery in our relationship, but I wouldn't call us coming back together as a couple just yet. That will need a little more time." She told Calvin.
The Suspicious Snakes nodded. "Well, it's good to see you two are getting along a bit better than before again. Perhaps your relationship will soon be fully sunny again in the future." Candace said with an optimistic smile.
Courtney gave a small smile and nodded. "I guess you're right, Candace. That would perhaps be nice." She said before turning her attention back to the road.
Meanwhile, the Legal Eagles were also striking up a conversation with Jo. "Hey, Jo. How's your internship under Chris coming along?" Steve asked Jo.
"So far, it's pretty shitty. He's making me do shitty stuff, like he always does with his interns. But I wouldn't expect any better from him. But even though he's a shitty boss, I wouldn't mind coming back for another season as a contestant in the future. Because while my time on Revenge of the Island and All-Stars was pretty shitty, it was an interesting experience, to say the least." Jo replied.
The Legal Eagles nodded. "Have you been able to speak to Brick again recently?" Napoleon then asked her.
"You mean G.I. Joke? Yeah, I've spoken to him just the other night. He's doing okay, and would like to come back for another season of Total Drama in the future as well. I told him that if we end up competing together again, I will be giving him a run for his money." Jo chuckled a bit, getting the Legal Eagles to chuckle as well.
-Confessional: Steve-
"I love that Jo still has that competitive side to herself. She might be a mean spirited nicknamer, but she's got guts and she's also strong and athletic. I wouldn't be surprised if Jo and Brick's rivalry ends up in them becoming a couple in the future." Steve chuckled.
-End Confessional-
The trolleys soon arrived at the challenge set. "Alright, we're here, guys. Good luck with the challenge." Courtney told the Suspicious Snakes.
"Thanks, Courtney." The Suspicious Snakes replied as they got off the trolley.
"Alright, Eagle Eyes. We're here. Now get off so I can get on with my day." Jo told the Legal Eagles.
"Will do, Jo." The Legal Eagles replied as they got off the trolley as well. Both trolleys then drove off as the teams entered the challenge set. Chris and Chef were waiting there for them. Chris was still wearing the military officer's uniform from before whilst Chef was wearing his drill sergeant outfit from previous seasons.
"A'ight, glad to see y'all made it here. Chris gon' be explainin' the challenge to y'all, so listen to what he has to say, y'hear?" Chef told the contestants.
Chris chuckled. "Thanks, Chef." He replied before clearing his throat and began to explain the challenge to the teams. "Here's the deal: For this two-part challenge, you will be acting out a scenario of new military recruits going through military training. And of course that means: An obstacle course! I've had Chef put together a dangerous obstacle course for all of you to go through, and the goal of the challenge is very simple: You have to go through the obstacle course over and over and over again until you decide to drop out, and this will go on until one contestant remains. The winning team will get an advantage in the next part of the challenge: Rescuing a teammate being held captive inside a military base. The first team to rescue their captive teammate from the military base will win the challenge and save their butts from elimination. The losers, on the other hand, will be sending someone home." Chris explained to the contestants.
-Confessional: Calvin-
"This challenge reminds me a lot of the mission performed in Total Drama Island. I believe the episode was called...Basic Straining! I've always wanted to perform a mission like this myself one day, and now my chance to do so has finally come! I'm gonna give it my all at today's mission, no matter how tough it may become!"
-End Confessional-
The scene then cut to the teams standing at the starting line of the obstacle course. They were all wearing grey sweatshirts along with green camo pants, combat boots and green army caps. "Alright, are you all ready, contestants?" Chris asked the contestants.
"Yes!" They replied in unison.
"Alright, Chef! Take it away!" Chris told Chef.
"A'ight, ready, set, RUN!" Chef shouted before blowing on a military whistle as the teams began running through the obstacle course. Their first obstacle was a lane of old car tires laid out in a pool of mud.
"This shouldn't be too hard. Just keep on going through this obstacle course over and over again and make sure not to drop out." Bernie remarked as he made his way across the lane of old car tires.
"I wouldn't say that too soon, my friend. Because sooner or later, you'll find that this is gonna be a tougher challenge than you thought it would be." Napoleon pointed out.
Bernie nodded at that. "Good point. Well, here goes nothing." He said as the teams continued to make their way across the lane of old car tires and came to their next obstacle: Swinging ropes suspended over a pit of piranhas that were hiding in the mud.
"Ladies first!" Veronica said as she took the lead and swung over the piranha pit on the ropes.
"That includes me!" Wendy replied as she went after Veronica and swung over the piranha pit as well. Bernie then proceeded to ninja flip to the other side of the piranha pit rather than using the ropes.
"Wow! Agent Bernie sure has some slick moves!" Calvin remarked as he swung to the other side of the pit on the ropes.
"I know, right? He's so bold!" Candace replied, being just as impressed by Bernie's ninja skills as Calvin was. She then swung to the other side of the pit as well.
"Here I come!" Napoleon said as he also swung to the other side of the pit, being followed by Karen, Bob, Steve, Danny, Angela, Violetta and Derek in that order.
The teams then made it to their next obstacle: A balancing bar with burlap bags on ropes swinging across. "Oh, these things..." Karen sighed. "Okay, Karen. Timing is everything..." The African-Canadian girl told herself before she began to carefully traverse the balancing bar whilst avoiding the swinging burlap bags. Bob began to follow after her, with Steve following behind him, then Veronica, then Napoleon, then Angela, then Bernie, then Candace, then Calvin, then Derek, then Wendy, then Danny. As they were traversing the bar though, Angela, Candace, Calvin, Derek and Danny were knocked off the balancing bar by a burlap bag that swung in their path and promptly fell into the mud.
"C'mon, ya fuckin' maggots! Get your asses back on that balancing bar and get your asses movin' 'cross the other side!" Chef shouted at Angela, Candace, Calvin, Derek and Danny as he pulled them all to their feet.
"Yes, sir!" Angela, Candace, Calvin, Derek and Danny replied with a salute. They then made their way back onto the balancing bar and successfully made it to the other side this time, quickly running after the other contestants who had already made it to the next obstacle: Crawling through the mud under a field of barbed wire.
Wendy had taken the lead this time around. She was crawling as quickly as she could to maintain the lead. Veronica then began crawling after her. "Move over, Longshanks. You're blocking my field of vision." Veronica told Wendy, who rolled her eyes and proceeded to fart in Veronica's face in retaliation.
"I'm sorry, did you say something?" Wendy asked Veronica with a smirk as she continued crawling through the mud.
Veronica gagged in disgust. "Don't you ever fart in my face again, or I will turn your own face into a boys locker room!" She warned Wendy as they continued crawling through the mud. Danny and Steve were crawling after Veronica, and they snickered a little bit at the scene Wendy was causing.
-Confessional: Danny-
"Wendy sure is a competition driven girl, but she also knows how to let other contestants know she doesn't give a flying fart about things, even if that means doing crude things such as farting in the faces of other contestants. She's a girl with guts, so she and Veronica would get along perfectly."
-End Confessional-
Karen and Bob were crawling after Danny and Steve. As they were doing so, they were chatting to each other. "You know, I'm still glad the two of us got together back in Total Drama Revived, Bob. You're my golden guy." Karen told Bob with a smile.
Bob smiled back. "I'm still glad the two of us got together back in Total Drama Revived as well, Karen. You're my golden girl as well." He told Karen.
Karen smiled back at that. "Awwww, thanks, Bob." She replied before kissing his lips. Bob blushed and chuckled at that before him and Karen continued crawling. Violetta and Bernie watched as Karen and Bob kissed and couldn't help but smile at that.
"Awwww, aren't they a cute couple, Bernie?" Violetta asked her nerdy boyfriend with a smile.
Bernie smiled and nodded. "That they are, Violetta. That they are." He replied as the contestants continued to crawl through the mud before they all made it to the other side of the obstacle and went on to the final one: A tall wooden wall made all slippery with mud.
"Oh, great. The wall's made all slippery with mud." Karen sighed.
"Well, looks like we'll have to get it over with, and then we can repeat the whole obstacle course again and again and again." Veronica replied with a shrug of her shoulders.
"Yeah, thanks for the warning..." Karen sighed once again as the contestants began to do their best to climb the wall, some faring better at it than others. Eventually though, all contestants made it over the wall, and afterwards, they all ran back to the beginning of the obstacle course to start over.
"A'ight, y'all made it to the end! Now start over 'til ya reach the end again, repeat the obstacle course again, and keep on doin' that 'til ya drop out!" Chef told the contestants.
"Sir, yes, sir!" The contestants replied with a salute as a montage of the contestants going through the obstacle course over and over until they dropped out one by one. Eventually though, it was Karen remaining for the Suspicious Snakes, and Veronica remaining for the Legal Eagles.
"Alright, it's now down to two contestants: Karen for the Suspicious Snakes, and Veronica for the Legal Eagles. Keep in mind that you're competing for an advantage in the second part of the challenge, so be sure to give it your all! Or maybe don't, because it'll be fun to see you making blundering fools out of yourself!" Chris laughed.
Karen and Veronica gave each other a dirty look. "I'm gonna win this first part of the challenge for my team, Karen! Just you wait and see!" Veronica warned Karen with a steely eyed look.
"Oh, you're on, Veronica! I will beat you and win that advantage for my team!" Karen replied with an equally steely eyed look.
"Alright, now that there's two of you remaining, we'll change things up a bit: The contestant that manages to reach the end of the obstacle course first wins their team an advantage for the second part of the challenge. Got that? Good. Now, Chef...Take it away." Chris then spoke.
"A'ight. Ready, set, RUN!" Chef shouted before blowing his military whistle once again as Karen and Veronica both began darting forward as they made their way across the lane of old car tires.
"Go, Karen! Show Veronica what you're made of, baby!" Bob shouted at his girlfriend to encourage her.
"Yeah, you go, girl!" Candace shouted as well.
"Yeah! Leave that bully bitch girl in the dust!" Angela shouted as well.
"You're a very well trained agent to be going up against Agent Veronica!" Calvin shouted.
"Don't let Veronica win!" Wendy simply shouted.
Karen and Veronica then made it across the lane of old car tires and made it to the swinging ropes.
"Make Karen bite your dust, Veronica! Get her!" Derek shouted to encourage his girlfriend.
"Yeah, show her how you do things your way!" Danny also shouted.
"Go, Veronica!" Bernie cheered.
"Faster!" Napoleon cheered as well.
"Veronica, Veronica!" Steve cheered.
"Get her!" Violetta cheered.
Veronica then made it across the piranha pit with Karen following right behind. They then made it to the balancing bars. The burlap bags on ropes were swinging faster than before, and Karen and Veronica took notice of this.
"Hey, these things are swinging faster than before." Veronica remarked.
"That's right. Chris an' I decided ta crank up the difficulty a notch for this one." Chef replied.
"Works for me. I love a good challenge." Veronica smirked as she quickly made her way to the other side of the balancing bar but got knocked off the bar by a burlap bag after a miscalculated move. "God damn it!" Veronica growled in frustration as the Legal Eagles exclaimed in dismay.
"So you love a good challenge, huh? Do you still love it now?" Karen smugly asked Veronica before being knocked off the bar herself as she didn't take notice of a burlap bag swinging her way.
"Well, now that you got knocked off as well, I do." Veronica laughed.
"Shut it..." Karen sighed before Chef blew his military whistle again.
"You two shut your god damn traps and get back on that balancing bar, pronto!" Chef shouted at Karen and Veronica. The scene then cut to Karen and Veronica having gotten past the balancing bar and began crawling through the mud under the field of barbed wire. The girls tried their best to be faster than each other, but Karen came out faster than Veronica and made it to the tall wooden wall greased with mud. Veronica followed close behind.
"Alright, ladies. This is the last obstacle you have to go through, or over in this case. Whoever makes it past this one wins the first part of the challenge." Chris told the girls.
-Confessional: Karen-
"I've climbed that wall so many times within 2 hours of running through that obstacle course, so I've gotten used to it by now. Hopefully that'll give me the advantage I need to beat Veronica."
-End Confessional-
-Confessional: Veronica-
"I had made it this far, and I wasn't gonna let Karen beat me now that my team was this close to winning the first part of the challenge. I was gonna give Karen a run for her money, for sure."
-End Confessional-
Karen and Veronica exchanged dirty looks at each other for a full minute as Chris, Chef and the other contestants watched silently and awkwardly before Chris sighed in annoyance. "For Pete's sake, just climb the darn wall!" He shouted at Karen and Veronica.
Karen and Veronica both let out a war cry as they climbed the wall as fast as they could but in the end, Karen made it over the wall first and landed flat on her face, causing the contestants to cringe a bit. Veronica landed on her feet and pulled Karen onto her own feet by pulling her hair.
"Well done, Horse Legs. You won the challenge. Congratulations." Veronica told Karen sarcastically before walking away.
"The Suspicious Snakes win the first part of the challenge!" Chris announced before the Suspicious Snakes began to cheer.
"Alright, guys. Clean up and meet me back here for the second part of the challenge in 10." Chris then told the contestants before the scene cut to the contestants standing on the set for the second part of the challenge. They were now wearing Canadian military infantry uniforms from WWII.
"Alright, contestants. It's time for the second part of the challenge: Rescuing a teammate being held captive inside a military base. Here's the deal: I will give you a few minutes to decide which of your teammates will volunteer to be the prisoner of war, and the rest of you will have to rescue them from this military base." Chris explained as the camera turned to the military base.
"You will be arriving at this military base by boat, landing on the beach akin to the famous D-Day landing on the beaches of Normandy, France back in WWII. From there, you have to try and reach the military base which is being guarded by my interns this season." Chris continued as Lindsay, Lightning, Jo, Duncan, Sierra and Scott popped up from several turrets and waving at the contestants.
"They will be trying to take you out with their turrets as you make your way up the beach towards the military base. Since the Suspicious Snakes won the first part of the challenge, they will getting an advantage that will help them traverse the beach easier: Armor to protect themselves from turret fire. In order to enter the military base, you will have to steal a key off of one of the interns and then get through the military base's defense system towards the prison in the military base's basement where your teammates are being held captive. As I've mentioned, the first team to rescue their captive teammate will save their sorry butts from elimination, while the losers have to send someone home. Your few minutes to decide on your prisoner of war start...now!" Chris told the teams as they all huddled together to decide on their prisoner of war.
"Alright, which one of you wants to be prisoner of war for this challenge?" Karen asked the others.
"I'll do it. I don't like having to sit out a challenge, but someone's gonna have to do it, I guess." Candace offered immediately.
"Are you sure, Agent Candace?" Calvin asked her.
Candace nodded. "Yes, I'm sure." She replied.
"Works for me. Is everyone on board with Candace being our prisoner of war?" Wendy asked the rest of the team.
"Works for me too." Angela shrugged.
"Same here." Karen shrugged.
"I got no better ideas." Bob shrugged as well.
"Alright, then that's decided on." Wendy nodded.
Next, the Legal Eagles were deciding on their prisoner of war. "Okay, which one of us will go sit out the challenge in a prison cell?" Veronica asked.
"I'll do it." Derek offered immediately.
"You sure, Derek?" Veronica then asked him.
Derek nodded. "Yes. Nobody wants to sit out the challenge in that prison cell, but someone's got to do it." He explained.
"He's got a point. Is anyone else on board with that idea?" Napoleon asked.
"Works for me." Danny nodded.
"Me too." Bernie nodded.
"Same." Violetta nodded.
"I'm fine with it." Steve nodded.
"I guess it's a better plan than having no plan." Veronica shrugged.
"Alright, then we're done deciding here." Napoleon nodded back.
"Were you able to make a decision?" Chris asked the contestants.
"We decided that Candace will be our prisoner of war." Wendy told him.
"And Derek will be our prisoner of war." Napoleon added.
Chris nodded. "Very well. Chef, would you be so kind to escort our prisoners of war to their cells, please?" He asked Chef. Chef then proceeded to grab Candace and Derek by their arms and dragged them into the military base.
The scene then cut to the two teams sitting in their military boats. The Suspicious Snakes' boat was being piloted by Calvin, while the Legal Eagles' boat was being piloted by Steve. "Alright, let's get this challenge started! Suspicious Snakes, are you ready?" Chris asked the Suspicious Snakes.
"Yeah!" The Suspicious Snakes exclaimed.
"Legal Eagles, are you ready?" Chris then asked the Legal Eagles.
"Yeah!" The Legal Eagles exclaimed.
"Alright! And...ACTION!" Chris exclaimed before blowing his airhorn as Calvin and Steve began piloting their boats forward.
"How do you think Candace is doing over in her prison cell in the military's base's basement?" Bob asked Karen.
Karen shrugged. "Who knows. For all I know she could be sitting in a cell next to Derek's, so at least she's got some form of company to keep her occupied while she's waiting for us to come rescue her." She replied.
The scene then cut to the basement of the military base, where Candace was indeed sitting in a prison cell next to Derek's. "So...Who do you think is going to win this challenge?" Candace asked Derek to try and strike up a conversation while they waited for their teams to come rescue them.
Derek shrugged. "I don't know. It all depends on which team puts on a better performance during the challenge." He replied to her.
Candace nodded at that. "Good point. One thing's for sure: Karen really knows how to put on a formidable performance during challenge on Total Drama. She's as tough as Gwen from the first generation cast." She replied back.
Derek nodded in agreement. "She sure is. Both Gwen and Karen are tougher than they look. When it comes to all of the seasons Gwen has competed in, she's won the most challenges out of all the past competitors on the show. That goes to show how tough she is." He replied back to her.
"Oh, definitely. But in Karen's case, being that tough is what got her booted off the show last season. Do you think that will be the case again here?" Candace then asked him.
"If she makes it to the merge, she's definitely an easy target for elimination. Hell, she could even be booted off before the merge even hits because people don't want to face her in the post-merge challenges." Derek replied once again.
"Yeah, that makes sense." Candace nodded. "Man, I just got the urge to lay down a freestyle rap right now, but I'm afraid Chris will boot me off for it." She sighed.
"I'm sure that if you don't rap too much like what you did last season, he'll allow it." Derek shrugged.
"Alright then. Here goes. Can you provide me with a beat to rap to, Derek?" Candace asked Derek.
"I'll try to." Derek nodded as he began to provide a beat for Candace to rap to.
Candace then began to rap. "Her name is Karen, she's the new resident Gwen. She'll be winning challenges again and again. Tough as a bull moose, yet gentle as a stuffed bear. All of you wannabe reality stars better beware, because Karen will be winning challenge like a quick footed hare. She may be moody, but she's nicer than you think, man. She may look like a meanie, but she's a good heart like the guy who played Jesse Pinkman. Like Gwen, no one plays a challenge just as good as Karen does. When it comes to winning challenge, she's the Total Drama boss." She then finished.
"That was pretty good, Candace. My compliments." Derek grinned and gave Candace a thumbs up.
Candace chuckled. "Thanks, Derek. You laid down a pretty good beat as well." She replied with a smile.
-Confessional: Candace-
"Aaaah, it felt good to finally lay down a freestyle rap again. I haven't done one since this season had started, because I was afraid Chris would kick me off the show for it like he did last time I competed, but I suppose that won't be the case if I just rap less than I usually do, like Derek said. We'll just have to see."
-End Confessional-
Meanwhile, back outside the base, the teams continued to make their way towards the beach in their boats. As they got closer to the beach, an air raid siren began to blare across the set. "Shit, they sounded the alarm. Now Chris' loser interns are gonna be raining down fire on us..." Veronica sighed in annoyance.
"Looks like we'll have to make a dash for it once the boats hit the beach." Violetta remarked.
Danny proceeded to peek over the boat and noticed that they arrived at the beach. "Alright, we're at the beach. Get ready, guys." He told his teammates. Steve then quickly lowered the boat's door so they could get off. They then quickly ran down the beach as Chris' interns began firing paintballs at them, hitting Danny and Steve in the face.
"Man down!" Bernie exclaimed as he picked up Danny and helped Steve back onto his feet.
"Thanks, Bernie..." Steve sighed.
"Yeah, we appreciate it..." Danny sighed as well.
"No biggie, guys. Now let's take out those turrets and claim the key." Bernie replied as he began to rush up the beach to get to the turrets.
Meanwhile, the Suspicious Snakes had also made their way to the beach as Calvin opened the boat's door, allowing his team to get off as they also began rushing up the beach and the turrets began firing paintballs at them.
"Alright, Karen, Angela, you're coming with me to take out the east turrets. Bob, you're with Calvin, and you're going to take out the west turrets." Wendy instructed her team.
"Why can't I go with Bob?" Karen asked her.
"This is not a time to question her orders, Karen. Let's just go." Angela replied as she began rushing up the beach after Wendy. Karen sighed and ran after the two of them.
Bob frowned as he watched Karen run after Wendy and Angela, and because of this, he didn't notice a paintball coming his way. "Agent Bob, look out!" Calvin shouted as he jumped in front of Bob and took the paintball to the chest.
"Damn! Are you alright, Calvin?!" Bob asked as he immediately kneeled down to check on Calvin.
"I'm not sure..." Calvin gasped. "If I don't make it, tell my parents and siblings that I love them..." He groaned as if he was about to die from a gunshot.
Bob blinked a bit at that. "Dude, it's just a paintball. It's not like you're actually fatally injured." He told Calvin.
"Oh, right." Calvin laughed awkwardly before getting back onto his feet, with Bob doing the same thing. "Well, let's take out those turrets and claim the key we need to get inside." He then told Bob, who nodded in response as they began to run up the beach.
-Confessional: Calvin-
"Maybe I was being a little too melodramatic back there on the beach..." Calvin said as he rubbed the back of his head sheepishly. "Ah well, being a secret agent requires you to be a great actor, so I guess it fits one way or another. Oh, darn it all, I keep revealing a secret agent's secrets..." Calvin then sighed.
-End Confessional-
The Legal Eagles then proceeded to make their way up the beach to the turrets before getting over to Jo's turret. Napoleon and Veronica proceeded to tackle Jo to the ground. "Alright, Josephine. Hand over the key!" Veronica told Jo firmly.
"I don't have the stupid key! Another one of these losers manning the turrets has it!" Jo told her.
"Who has the key?" Napoleon asked her.
"I'm not allowed to tell! Find that stupid key your god damn self!" Jo replied.
"Well, we might as well keep her subdued to prevent her from getting in our way any further." Violetta said with a smirk as she grabbed two pairs of handcuffs from her uniform and proceeded to cuff Jo's hands and feet together.
"I will get you for this!" Jo shouted.
"Alright, let's try another turret." Steve nodded as the Legal Eagles began to search the other turrets.
Meanwhile, the Suspicious Snakes were also searching the turrets for the key. They made it into Lightning's turret. "Hey, Dirt-For-Brains. Hand over the key." Angela told Lightning as she blocked the turret exit together with Wendy and Karen.
"Uh-uh-uh." Lightning said as he wagged his right index finger at the girls. "You're gonna have to take it from me if you want it so badly. Sha-zam!" He laughed.
Wendy looked at Angela and then at Karen. "I'll take care of this." She said before she knocked Lightning out and searched his uniform for a key, but didn't find anything. "Damn it, he didn't have the key." She sighed in frustration.
"Well, looks like we'll have to "persuade" another intern to hand it to us." Angela replied.
"Definitely." Karen nodded as the girls began to run for another turret.
Meanwhile, the Legal Eagles had made it to Duncan's turret as Veronica leapt inside and tackled Duncan to the ground. "Hey! Get off me, you juvenile woman!" He told Veronica, who was lying on top of him and the two of them wrestled.
"You ain't going nowhere unless you hand over the key, you juvenile cheater!" Veronica firmly told him before she managed to pin him down.
"I got no key! Try another loser's turret, but leave me the fuck alone!" Duncan told her.
"I don't believe you! If you're not going to give me the key the easy way, I'll take it from you the hard way!" Veronica told him as she knocked him out. She then began to search Duncan's uniform for a key, but found nothing.
"Well, looks like he was speaking the truth about that key." Napoleon remarked.
"You think?!" Veronica asked him.
"Now, now. Calm down, Veronica. We'll just search another turret and politely ask the person inside to hand us the key." Napoleon told her.
"As if that's going to work..." Veronica muttered before the Legal Eagles went over to the next turret.
Calvin and Bob had made it to Sierra's turret in the meantime. Sierra turned around and noticed the boys. "Oh, hi, guys! Came here to get the key?" She kindly asked them.
Calvin and Bob looked at each other before looking back at Sierra and nodded. "Yes, that's we've come here for." Bob replied to her.
"Yes, so please hand us the key, and we won't bring any harm to you." Calvin added.
"Sorry, guys. I don't have the key. Maybe try another turret?" Sierra suggested to the boys.
"Are you sure you don't have the key?" Bob asked her with a curious tilt of her head.
"Would I ever lie to you?" Sierra asked him with a smile.
"Let's just take her word for it and leave this turret to search another, Agent Bob." Calvin told Bob as they left the turret to search another.
Meanwhile, the Legal Eagles made it to Scott's turret. "Hey, you sleazy wily farm boy. Got any keys for us?" Veronica asked Scott who turned around upon hearing his name.
Scott smirked at the Legal Eagles. "You want that key, right? How about we have an arm wrestle over it?" He suggested to Veronica.
"An arm wrestle? I don't have time for games, farm boy." Veronica told him.
"Just do it, Veronica. He might actually have the key." Violetta told her.
Veronica sighed. "Okay, fine..." She said before she grasped Scott's hand and the two of them placed their elbows down on the chair of Scott's turret. They then began to arm wrestle. Veronica quickly gained the upper hand as Scott began to struggle before Veronica quickly slammed his hand down on the chair.
"Ugh, looks like you won that fair and square..." Scott sighed, upset he had lost to a girl in an arm wrestle.
"Damn right I did. Now hand over the key!" Veronica told him.
"Oh, funny story about that: I don't have the key. Try another turret." Scott laughed as Veronica began to look really angry, scaring Scott.
"Uhhhh, you know you just fucked up big time, do you?" Violetta asked as she laughed nervously. Veronica then tackled Scott to the ground and began to beat him as the farm boy yelped in pain.
"I'm going to check Lindsay's turret. You guys try and calm down Veronica in the meantime." Napoleon told his team as he ran off to Lindsay's turret. He soon arrived at Lindsay's turret, and Lindsay was looking around for contestants to pick off with her turret. Napoleon smiled and cleared his throat.
"Excuse me, pretty lady. Do you have the key I need to open the door to the military base?" Napoleon kindly asked Lindsay, who proceeded to turn around and notice Napoleon, and her jaw dropped a bit as she looked at Napoleon. She looked at his gorgeous face and hair and smiled as her eyes sparkled a little bit.
"Y-Yes...I do have the key you need..." Lindsay told him.
Napoleon smiled even more at that. "Would you be so kind to give me the key then?" He asked her politely.
"Of course..." Lindsay replied as she handed the key to him.
"Thank you, pretty lady. You have my gratitude for handing over the key." Napoleon kindly told Lindsay as he blew a kiss at her, causing her to blush and fan her red face in admiration. Napoleon then left the turret again.
-Confessional: Lindsay-
"Tyler, I'm really sorry for swooning over that Napoleon guy! If you see this on tv, know that I deeply regret doing so now! My heart still belongs to you, I swear!" Lindsay said to the camera with a regretful look on her face.
-End Confessional-
Napoleon soon joined back up with his team, as they had managed to calm Veronica down and pull her off of Scott, who was now lying on the ground inside his turret, unconscious. "Hey, guess what? Lindsay had the key." Napoleon told his team with a smile as he spun the key on his left index finger.
"Sweet! Now let's get inside that base and rescue Derek from his prison!" Violetta beamed as the Legal Eagles quickly ran up to the door and opened it with the key. Wendy and the other Suspicious Snakes took notice of this.
"They opened the door! Quick! Let's head inside and rescue Candace!" Karen said as the Suspicious Snakes ran inside the base after the Legal Eagles.
"Napoleon, the other team is gaining on us!" Danny told Napoleon with a worried look on his face.
"Leave this to me." Napoleon said as he ran as fast as he could towards the basement.
"Oh, no, you don't!" Wendy exclaimed as she ran as fast as she could after Napoleon. They soon made it past the military base's defense system and towards the basement, with Napoleon getting there first. Napoleon quickly grabbed the cell door key off a nearby hook and used it to free Derek from his prison cell. Derek quickly got up and ran out of the cell, high fiving Napoleon in the process.
"And that's the challenge! The Legal Eagles win!" Chris exclaimed as he entered the scene with Chef. The Legal Eagles began to cheer while the Suspicious Snakes groaned as they knew they now had to send someone home at the Gilded Chris ceremony. The scene then cut to the teams getting a debrief from Chris.
"Legal Eagles, you really kicked some butt during this second part of the challenge! You're now safe from elimination and don't have to worry about voting someone off tonight! Congratulations!" Chris told the Legal Eagles, who proceeded to once again cheer.
The Suspicious Snakes frowned once more as Chris turned to them with a similar frown. "Suspicious Snakes, unfortunately, I can't say the same thing about you. Head on over to the confessional booth and prepare to send someone home tonight." He told the Suspicious Snakes.
-Confessional: Wendy-
"Okay, real talk: Karen is a girl who puts on an amazing performance in the challenges she participates in, and that's not someone I would like to face against once the merge hits. I'll try and talk to some of the others on the team to convince them to get Karen out of the game."
-End Confessional-
-Confessional: Karen-
"Alright, I've got a really bad feeling about Wendy. I get the feeling she's up to no good and that she tampered with the votes to get Moon out of the game not too long ago, so me and Bob are gonna have to rally the others to get Wendy out of the game."
-End Confessional-
The scene then cut to the Gilded Chris ceremony at night. Chris was standing on stage dressed in his white tuxedo while Chef wore his pink glitter outfit. "Alright, Suspicious Snakes. You all know the drill: When I call out your name, I will give you your Gilded Chris award to confirm that you're safe from elimination. If you don't receive a Gilded Chris award tonight, you will be eliminated, and you will have to head down the Walk of Shame, step inside the Lame-o-sine, and get the heck out of here." Chris monologued to the Suspicious Snakes.
Chris then held up the first Gilded Chris award. "The first Gilded Chris goes to...Angela." Angela smiled as she caught her Gilded Chris award.
"Also safe...Calvin." Calvin grinned as he caught his Gilded Chris Award.
"Candace...and Bob." Chris continued as Candace and Bob also caught their Gilded Chris awards. It was now down to Karen and Wendy, and Bob looked nervous.
"Contestants...this...is the final Gilded Chris of the evening." Chris told Karen and Wendy.

"Wendy, close call." Chris said as he tossed the final Gilded Chris at Wendy, who smiled pridefully as she caught it.
Karen groaned as she hung her head. "Shit, I'm out of the game early this time..." She sighed.
Bob hugged her. "Don't worry, baby. I'll see you at the Aftermath, I'm sure of it." He assured her.
Karen nodded. "Alright. Good luck, Bob. I know you can do it." She smiled at Bob before kissing him on the lips and walking down the Walk of Shame towards the Lame-o-sine before stepping inside. The Lame-o-sine then drove off, leaving the studio.
-Confessional: Bob-
"Man, this stinks...I was really hoping Karen and I would make it to the merge together again, but I guess not. I'll be sure to make the merge for her, though. It's the least I can do for her at this current moment."
-End Confessional-
The scene then cut to Veronica and Derek sitting on the doorstep of the boys trailer together. "So you and Candace passed the time in those prison cells by doing freestyle raps the whole time?" Veronica asked Derek with a chuckle.
Derek chuckled too and nodded. "Yep. She laid down the rhymes while I laid down the beat. It was really fun, to be honest." He replied.
"Glad you had fun while you were waiting for us to rescue you, hun. Really glad you did." Veronica told him before the two of them proceeded to kiss.
"Agent Derek, are you coming?" Calvin asked Derek from inside the boys trailer.
"Coming, Calvin!" Derek called back before turning back to Veronica. "Night, hun."
"Night." Veronica replied before getting up and walking over to the girls trailer while Derek went inside the boys trailer as the episode ended.
