Towering Terrors- Carter, Dante, Deon, Elizabeth, Laurie, Margaret, Olga, Rival 8/10
Ballistic Bellhops- Andrew, Liz, Maria, Phoebe, Regina, Sunny, Tyson, Qwynn 8/10
The scene opens up on a brain in a jar, but the brain is green, and heavily disfigured, as if some chemicals had been applied to it. Hayley, in her lab coat, walks into position to study it. "Interesting" she says before writing down some notes. She then notices the camera in front of her. "Oh" she says, surprised. "You weren't supposed to see that." She quickly snaps her fingers and not only is the table gone, but now she's in her signature green dress and red high heels. She clears her throat before giving the intro. "Last time on Total Drama Hotel Madness, Max took over, or more accurately, I let him think that he took over the challenge as it was a race against time to disarm a bomb. In the end, Margaret took charge, leading her team to victory, while I…Kevin blew the challenge for his team by literally blowing up their own bomb, and everything in its vicinity, and was voted out for it. What drama will unfold this time? Find out on this episode of TOTAL DRAMA HOTEL MADNESS!
*Theme song plays*
Confessional: Tyson
"So like, Kevin was a jerk, but he was also the only guy here who I got along with. I'm so...I'm so...okay, I don't know what the word is for when you know you made the right decision, but you still feel a little bad about it, but I feel that feeling right now. Oh well, I guess I'll just have to be the best Tyson that I can be and be loyal to my team Woo! Go team!
Confessional over
Confessional: Maria
"Okay so" she puts her right hand on her chest and gasps for air, "Qwynn is a lifesaver. I had to have an alliance to protect myself from Liz. I don't quite know what it is, but something about her seems a little off, like she's trying to manipulate the team or something. Yes, it's all coming together, she's the big bad on this team, but thank goodness I'm not on the same team as Margaret. That wouldn't end well for me."

Confessional: Qwynn
He laughs. "I must be the luckiest guy in the world. Not only do I get Phoebe's hat, but I get a free alliance to boot! Now, it's time to dig into this new alliance member of mine, because all I know about her so far is what I got from the comedy challenge." He gets out his notepad and paper.
Confessional over
Confessional: Liz
"So Qwynn and Maria are in an alliance, and Maria is scared of me? Good. I can use that to my advantage." She rubs her hands together.

Confessional: Regina
"Okay I'm still not exactly sure what's going on with Phoebe, but all I know is that I want to help her, I'm going to have a talk with her today to get the down low straight from the horse's mouth. Something needs to be done. Oh, and if Qwynn does have her hat, then I'm gonna make him give it back to her." She holds up her purse.

Andrew was sitting alone in the dining room eating his lunch when Sunny comes up and sits right next to him. "Hey" she greets him.
"Hey" Andrew looks over at her to notice that a certain security guard is missing, so he asks her "Where's Franchesco?"
She sighs, then says "Oh, I told him that I don't need him to tell you this."
"To tell me what exactly?"
She turns to him. "Well, it's about what happened during the challenge before last" she says bluntly.
"Oh" Andrew sunk his face back into his sandwich, clearly not ready for what she's about to say.
"Don't look discouraged." She tries to comfort him.
"Oh yeah, well now everyone knows about my secret, including you. What am I supposed to do?" He panics.
Sunny puts her hand on his shoulder. "Don't worry about it."
"Don't worry about it? Are you kidding me?" He puts down his sandwich so he can put his good arm on his head.
"Look, I know you're embarrassed about it. You're scared and I get that, but you can't be dwelling on it forever, right?"
Andrew gets worked up. "I...I guess you're right."
Confessional: Andrew
"I guess Sunny is right. I just need to calm down. It's not the end of the world." He closes his eyes and takes a few deep breaths. "I can do this, I can do this, I…can't do this. Yeah, I can't do this!" He puts his hand on his head. "I'm freaking out man!"
Confessional over
As Andrew exits from the confessional, he sees Sunny is gone. "Where'd she go?"
Cuts to an assailant in a white jumpsuit and a black ski mask carrying a bag that obviously has Sunny in it. "Let me out of here!" She yells.
"Sorry little lady, but we need you for the next challenge. Uh huh uh huh!" He continues pulling her.

Phoebe is in her room reading a book when suddenly Regina knocks on her door. "Hello" the Fashionista says.
"Come in" Phoebe says.
Regina opens the door and sits down on the bed right beside her. "So, what's up?" She asks.
"Oh, not much" Phoebe reacted calmly.
"No, I mean what's up with you. You've been acting like another person. I just want to know what's going on so that I can help you."
Phoebe is shocked by this, but she sighs before coming clean. "Oh, you're talking about Libby."
"Who's Libby?" Regina questions.
"Libby is, well she's an internet persona that I use. She's become well...a part of me." Phoebe says uncomfortably.
"What do you mean by she's a part of you?"
"Well, I should just say it. I have schizophrenia. Libby usually comes out when I wear this hat" she reaches into the pocket in her sweatshirt, " but lately I've learned that she can come out when I get agitated," lo and behold, the cap isn't there. "What? Where'd it go?"
"It's okay girl." Regina comforts Phoebe. "I think I know exactly where it went. Your auntie Regina will get it back for you."
/
Meanwhile, Liz knocks on Carter's door excitedly. "Hey, I've got some news!" She exclaims. Carter opens the door.
"Oh yeah, what is it?" He questions.
"Qwynn and Maria are in an alliance!"
"Oh, well we should keep an eye on that," he says, "see where it goes and if it's a threat to us."
"Oh I know it's not going to be a threat to us, and I know we can control it."
Carter readjusts his glasses. "Really, how?"
"Because, Maria fears me. We can use that."
Carter smirks. "Agreed my dear, genius!"

Elizabeth knocks on Laurie's door. Cuts to Deon and Laurie in the bed when they hear Elizabeth's knocking.
Laurie gets out from underneath the cover. "You've gotta be kidding me" she says in an annoyed tone.
Deon then sticks his head out. "Now who could that be?" He asks.
"I don't know" she says.
"You better go get it" he says.
"Oh, alright." Laurie gets back under the cover for a few seconds before popping back out, fully clothed, to answer the door. "Hello" she says.
"Hey, you want to talk?" Elizabeth asks.
"Um…" Laurie looks over at Deon, who gives her the signal that he's alright with it, then she turns her attention back to Elizabeth "...sure."
"Deon's in there, right?"
Laurie's cheeks immediately turn red. "How did you know?"
"Oh come on, who else would it be? Olga?" Elizabeth says bluntly.
"Um, let's step outside." Laurie steps out and closes the door.
"Yeah, I thought so."
After a few moments of awkward silence, Laurie says "So, what brings you here?"
"Well, it's about what we said last time."
Laurie sighs, then puts her hand on her forehead. "Oh great, here we go, you're going to blackmail me or something."
"Oh no no no" Elizabeth reassures her, "it's not like that."
Laurie perks up. "Really?" She asks.
"No. You see, the thing is that I like you."
Laurie looks at Elizabeth confused and seriously weirded out. "Wha...What do you mean?"
Elizabeth's eyes widened. "Woah woah woah, where did you think I was going with this?"
"I...I'm sorry. I was just caught off guard. Go on."
Elizabeth continues. "I like you, but not like that. So what I mean is that I want to help you."
"You...you want to help me, with what?"
Elizabeth puts her hand on Laurie's shoulder and gives her honest opinion. "With that. You need to be more confident."
Laurie sighs. "Is it really that obvious?"
"Yes, but I respect you, which is why I wanted to come here to warn you that next challenge, I will be challenging you. I will not go easy on you, I will push you when given the opportunity, but just as a heads up, it's not because I hate you. It's because I want you to be the best you that you can be. Albeit you'll never be as good as me, but still" the last sentence she whispers so that Laurie can't hear it.
Laurie smiles.
Confessional: Laurie
"You know what, Elizabeth is right. I do need more confidence."
Just then, the same person from before enters into the confessional and attempts to put a sack over Laurie, but she fights him, using some of her MMA moves on him before eventually judo flipping him to the ground. "What was that for?" He exclaims.
"Sorry, but you surprised me" Laurie says.
"I just needed to capture you for the next challenge lil' lady!"
"Then why didn't you say so? I would've gone with you anyway since it was for the challenge."
He gasps for air. "Because I didn't think you'd go with me."
"Oh, well I will…right after you get up."

Confessional: Dante
"Yo dawg, I've gotta make an alliance again." He leans toward the camera and puts his right hand next to the left side of his mouth. "Things are gettin' tight dawg and I've gotta have someone to protect me, if you know what I'm sayin' and I think that the only one I can trust I'd dat one tough chick."
Confessional over
Olga and Rival were busy over in the lounge area. Olga was sitting on a bean bag chair reading a book and Rival was getting a snack from the vending machine when suddenly Dante walks into the room.
"Yo yo yo wassup my homies!" He proudly exclaims.
Olga looks up from her book. "Novone Vhinks vou're cool." She then goes back to reading her book.
"Yeah, what she said." Rival says as he pulls the granola bar out of the vending machine.
"Yo, why you be hatin'?" He asks them, disappointed.
"Because, I don't like you" Rival bluntly answers him.
"I didn't ask you dawg!" He turns his attention to Olga. "Now, as for the real reason why I'm here."
"Ugh" Olga cuts him off "vhis oughtta ve good."
"As I was saying homie, before I was rudely interrupted" he gets a dew rag out of his pocket. "I could use an alliance."
Olga snickers. "Are vou servious?"
"I've got to admit, I did not see that coming." Rival comments.
"Why does everyone think I'm joking?"
"Vecause, vou are a joke!" Olga laughs.
"Fine dawg, but don't come calling to me when you're in trouble and you need an extra vote!" Dante storms out of the room.
Rival turns to Olga. "I…"
Just then, Dante pops his head back out. "Actually, do come to me dawg. Seriously, I could use the help homie. Peace!" He then flashes the peace sign to them before leaving the room for good.
Rival continues his statement. "As I was saying, I don't think we can trust him."
"Eh, vi guess if ve're desperate, ve know vhere to turn."
"That's true, I guess." Rival opens up the refrigerator door, only to find Chef in there with his signature bull horn. "Chef? How'd you get in there? Are you feeling a little dazed…and CONFUSED?"
Chef puts his bullhorn up to his mouth. "No" he yells in his ear.
"Well why didn't you just say…" Before Rival can finish, Chef just grabs his backup airhorn out of his pocket and blows it in Rival's face.
"No back talk, now git to the elevator!" he bluntly yells at the guitarist.
"Yessir!" Rival says before he turns around and heads toward the exit, only for Chef to interrupt him.
"One more thing, could you help me outta here? I'm stuck!"
"We're on it" Rival and Olga go to help him. Cuts to everyone at the elevator.
/
"Hey, do you know where Laurie went?" Deon panics as he asks Elizabeth.
"I don't know, I swear I had nothing to do with it!"
Andrew runs from the lunchroom. "Has anyone seen Sunny?" He exclaims worriedly.
Chef blows his airhorn in front of everyone. "Now listen up, in case you haven't noticed, one of yalls' teammates is missing."
Deon grabs on to Chef's apron. "Yes, and we want them back!"
Chef grabs Deon and yells "You'll get them back after the challenge! Now git into the elevator," into his face. Chef then presses the button for the elevator and just throws the wrestler in there. Cuts to everyone in the elevator when suddenly Hayley appears.
"Sorry I'm late everyone. I had to take care of some business." She says.
At this moment, Carter notices something peculiar. "Hey, why are we going down this time?"
"Oh, we're skipping the next floor because it's where we store all the robots that we use." She answers him.
"Uh huh." Carter types something on his computer.
Hayley continues. "Okay everyone, the theme for this next challenge is fantasy, you'll have to rescue the princess from the dungeon, for the Terrors it's Laurie…"
"You trapped Laurie in a dungeon?" Deon and Margaret ask at the same time.
"Yes she's fine. As I was saying, and for the Bellhops it's Sunny."
Franchesco huffs. "You kidnapped Sunny and you didn't tell me first?"
Hayley facepalms herself. "Look, I just said that it's for the challenge. She's fine! Now, does anyone else have any questions?" Andrew, Carter, Liz, Maria, Margaret, Olga, Qwynn, Deon, and Rival all raise their hands. "You've gotta be kidding me" Hayley has an expression on her face that suggests that she does not want to deal with this. "Look, everyone just choose your weapons, alright" she says before disappearing.
"Weapons?" Maria asks before the door opens up. This time in front of them is a rack of medieval weapons. Some of the contestants grab the traditional weapons like swords and clubs, others grab things like maces or hammers. Olga grabs the biggest battle axe she can find.
Regina takes one look at all the weapons and scoffs at them. "I don't need any of these!"
"Are you sure?" Phoebe asks. "If Chef says that we need them, we should probably grab some."
"Nah, I've got my purse. You can grab some if you want, but I'll wait here." Regina answers.
"Um...okay." Phoebe responds, and starts grabbing some weapons.
"Oh vah, vhis'll vo!" She waves her weapon around, almost hitting Margaret with it.
Margaret dodges. "Hey, watch where you're swinging that thing!"
"Oh, sorrvy"
Rival speaks up. "Are you sure that's the right one for you?"
"Oh vah, vi…" she turns around to see that she hit Rival, and now he's on the ground holding his spleen. "Whoops, sorrvy."
"It's okay, I had it coming" he says.
Meanwhile, Maria has covered herself in all of the defensive weapons she could find. "Okay, I think I'm ready now!"
Qwynn raises an eyebrow after seeing the armor that she's wearing. "Are you sure?"
"Oh yeah, totally!" She replies.
"Are you sure it's not too heavy?" He asks her.
"Hey, I've got to be prepared." Maria tries to take a step, but finds that she can't move. "Okay, maybe I did overdo it."
Qwynn starts to help her remove some of the armor as he asks "You think?"
/
After this is over, the contestants start getting restless. "Okay, now what?" Deon asks.
Chef blows a horn. "Now, your real challenge begins hehehe!" Chef laughs as he pulls a lever, making the now empty rack disappear, revealing a horde of pirate robot skeletons.
"Eat Gucci!" Regina immediately charges into action, knocking some of the pirate robot skeletons out with her purse. Not long after, others join in.
"Take this!" Deon swings his mace at several of them.
"Yar matey" one of the zrp's says before getting bashed in the head by Elizabeth. They even started shooting lasers out of their eyes but they were no match for 14 teens with weapons.
"Vhat vas vhe point of vhat?" Olga questions. "Vhose vuys vere pushovers." Just then, a gigantic shadow looms over everyone.
"Yar ye scurvy dogs!" Everyone turns around to see a 50 foot tall pirate robot skeleton.
"You've gotta be kidding me." Andrew says.
"Whelp, there's only one thing we can do." Liz responded.
"Charge!" Just then, Regina runs towards the beast and starts smacking it with her purse, after that, everyone soon joins in. Tyson runs up to it but trips and falls on a rock, faceplanting into it and discovering something about it.
"Hey, I think I can eat this thing!" He says.
"Seriously?" A skeptical Andrew takes a bite out of a toe. "Tastes like chicken" he says.
After that, everyone except for Margaret, Carter, and Deon starts biting into it.
"Yeah, I ain't touching that. The rest of youse can go right ahead." Margaret says as everyone else digs in.
"Yeah same here, that's much more than I can handle." Franchesco steps back.
/
Meanwhile Laurie and Sunny were locked away in their dungeons, which were right across from each other. "You girls don't go anywhere" Elvis says as he exits out the door.
"Don't worry, we couldn't even if we tried" Sunny responds.
"Don't worry about us, we'll stay right here!" Laurie yells out.
Sunny turns to Laurie. "You do know that he can't hear us anymore, right?"
"Yeah well I'm just letting him know that we won't be going anywhere." Laurie tells her.
"Yeah about that. I'm not staying here locked up in a dungeon for the entire challenge. Are you?"
"Well that Elvis guy did tell us to stay here. I don't see a problem with that."
Sunny sighs. "Being trapped inside a dinosaur's stomach was torture enough for me. If you want to stay here that's fine, but I'm going to break out and find my team on my own."
"Oh yeah well...I'm not going to be the reason why my team loses, so I'll go with you."
"Oh yeah, well prove it!" Sunny challenges her.
"Hiyah!" Laurie kicks a bar on her cell, but she ends up hurting her foot instead, so she yells "ouch!"
"Yeah I don't think that we're just going to be able to kick our way through these cell doors." Sunny says in response.
/
After everyone has "defeated" the final pirate robot skeleton, everyone except for Margaret, Carter, and Deon are now full. Even Liz is feeling constipated.
Confessional: Liz
She clenches her stomach as she is obviously in pain. "Oh man I can eat just about anything, but that thing was too much even for me."
Confessional over
Confessional: Margaret
"I told 'em not to eat it, but did they listen to me? No! Now it's just going to slow everyone down. Ugh!"
Confessional over
"Oh man, this stomach ache is so not gangsta!" Dante comments as he rubs his stomach.
"Okay now everyone gets up!" Margaret commands her team.
"Vo ve have vo?" A bloated Olga replies.
"Come on you jabronies, now get back up!" Deon yells at Dante, Elizabeth, Olga, and Rival.
"Do we have to?" Elizabeth asks.
"Five more minutes mommy." Rival has already fallen asleep and doesn't want to get up.
"Yo homie I can't get up!" Dante says.
"Yes you can!" Deon grabs the other four contestants and puts them up on their feet.
Confessional: Deon
He has his arms folded and a completely adamant expression on his face. "Hey, you can separate me from Laurie but I'll be damned sure to do everything in my power to get her back."
Confessional over
"Okay good, now let's go!" Margaret tells her team.
/
Meanwhile, the Bellhops were much more slower going.
"I don't think I can move" Andrew says as he clutches his stomach.
"I know I can't move" Regina says.
"Come on, we've gotta get going" Qwynn attempts to get up, but he falls back down.
"Come on, you've got to get up" Libby commands Phoebe.
"But I can't. My stomach is so full!" Phoebe responds.
"Oh, will you please just stop the charade, you wimp!" Libby insults her.
"Oh, alright." Phoebe gets up to reveal that she didn't actually eat any of the robot that actually tasted like chicken, and instead had just put various chunks of it in her pocket. "Um uh...get up everyone" Phoebe just says, not knowing what else to do, so Libby takes over.
"Ugh, do I have to do everything around here? Come on everyone, just get up you bunch of losers!"
"But I…" before Maria can finish, Libby just grabs her and the rest of her teammates and just pulls them up.
"Now march!" She points her finger in the direction of the forest next to them. It's then when Phoebe takes back control.
"If you don't mind, that is. Just for that comment, Libby smacks Phoebe in the face.
A little weirded out by this outburst, Franchesco steps up to take charge. "Actually Phoebe, I'll take it over" he turns to the rest of the team." Now, is everyone alright?"
"Ugh" everyone else on the Bellhops team responds.
"Good enough! Now let's get going!" Everyone else on the Bellhops except for Phoebe groans, to which Franchesco sighs. "Okay this might be tougher than I thought."
/
Meanwhile, the girls were both busy trying to break free. Laurie was trying to hit her bars with a rock while Sunny was being a little more practical, trying to dig her way out.
"Why...won't you...break?" Laurie kept hitting the door, but it wouldn't budge.
Sunny looked up from her hole. "Maybe you should try something other than brute force."
"Or maybe I just need to hit harder!" Laurie hits the lock, which immediately flys off the handle. "Well that was easy" Laurie says as her door swings wide open.
Sunny ny looks up. "Huh? Did that guy Elvis really forget to lock our cells?" She touches the lock with her pointer finger, and it just falls off. "I guess he did." She opens her door.
"Are you ready to go?" Laurie asks Sunny.
"Yep, let's go!" Sunny and Laurie head for the exit. When they open the door, Sunny takes the first step, but is surprised when the step bursts into flames, setting her shoe ablaze. "Woah what the heck?"
"I'll get it!" Laurie stomps on Sunny's shoe, extinguishing the fire but hurting Sunny's foot in the process.
"Ouch, hey!" She exclaims.
"Well I got the fire out, didn't I?"
Sunny puts her hands on her hips. "Yes but I think you dislocated my toe!"
"Oh um, I'm sorry." Laurie awkwardly apologizes.
"So what'll we do? We can't just go down these steps, can we?"
"Let me see" Laurie throws her rock down the steps, and the steps light on fire, freeze, and on the third step a punching glove comes out which blasts the rock into the ceiling, disintegrating upon impact.
"Oof, how are we going to get down those stairs?" Sunny asks.
"Well, if I time it right" Laurie makes a square with her fingers like you do before you're about to do something stupid.
"What are you doing?" Laurie ignores Sunny, and just does some acrobatic flips, but she's not Elizabeth, so she trips halfway down the stairs. The good news is that she makes it down the steps, the bad news is that she's now tarred, feathered, and parts of her pigtails are missing. She coughs, then looks up. "Hey I think I found the off switch!" Laurie presses the switch on the wall. "Is it safe?" She yells up the staircase.
"Guess there's only one way to find out" Sunny puts her non injured foot on the step, and thankfully nothing happens, so she goes down the staircase. "What happened to you?"
Laurie sighs. "Don't ask."
"Come on, let me get you cleaned up."
/
Carter types on his computer. "Okay so I got the layout for this floor, and let me just say that I am impressed. Seriously, how does Hayley put an entire forest in a basement?"
"Don't know" a groaning Elizabeth said.
"Von't care" Olga says.
"Yo, I...do not care...homie" Dante says as he clutches his stomach.
"Listen up" Margaret commands her team, "we've gotta stay focused here, we are goin' ta win dis challenge, and if we don't, we'll kick whoever blows it fer us, I guarantee it. Do youse guys get it?"
Dante, Elizabeth, Olga and Rival are all scared straight by this. They all look like they've seen a ghost as they just say "Yes ma'am!"
"Whatever you say ma'am!" Deon salutes her.
"Good! Now Carter has the map, so we should probably be following him."
"Stop" Deon puts his hand on Margaret's shoulder.
"What? What's da holdup?" Margaret asked, confused.
Deon puts his finger over his lips "Shhh." They wait as something appears to be ruffling in the bushes in front of them. After a few moments, a tiny mushroom creature appears out of the bushes.
"Awwwwwww" most of the Terrors respond to this. But their oo'ing and aww'ing quickly turn to screams of fear as the mushroom creature starts to breathe fire.
"What the heck is this thing?" Elizabeth asks, clearly terrified.
"I von't know!" Olga responds to her.
Just then, it stops, as it's revealed that Deon smashed the creature from behind with his mace. "Let's move" the wrestler says.
Confessional: Margaret
"Hey I don't know if I've seen dis level of assertiveness in Deon before, but I like it!"

Meanwhile, the Bellhops were behind the Terrors, as they had more players that were...incapacitated. Franchesco had to push Andrew along and poor Phoebe had to push Regina. Everyone else was lumbering along with the group.
"Just go on without me" Regina put her arm over her forehead "I can't go on!" Regina just falls over.
Phoebe bends over to help Regina up. "Um, isn't that a little overly dramatic?"
"No I'm not, because my stomach is killing me. You can go on without me" she responds.
"Hey weren't you the one who rushed into battle with just your purse?" Phoebe asks as she helps Regina up.
"Yes but I'm just too tired right now. I think I need a…" before Regina can finish, she drops to the ground, falling asleep instantly.
Again, Phoebe bends over. "But we still have to get my hat back" she reminds her.
At this, Regina immediately wakes up and slaps herself. She gets up without help from Phoebe. "You know what, you're right sista, I can get through this!" Regina tries to run, but her stomach cramps stop her. "But maybe I do need just a little help sweetie."
"Oh my gosh, could you be any slower?" Franchesco exclaims, he is almost panting at this point.
Andrew on the other hand is panting when he says "Must...take...break...need...body pillows."
Franchesco stops. "What?"
"Did I just say that out loud?" Andrew asks.
"You need to get your priorities straight man."
"Hey man...I don'...need your approval. I'm going...to sit down now." Andrew yawns. "I'm tired."
"Hey we've got to get through this, if we don't and we lose because you're lagging behind, guess who's going to be on the chopping block?" Zoom out and we can see Andrew snoring. Franchesco sighs. "You won't get to see Sunny anymore."
As expected, the weeb wakes up and gets on his feet. Like Regina, he also slaps himself in the face. "Alright, let's do this!"
"That's the spirit!"
Also suffering from cramps, Andrew falls down.
Franchesco sighs. "Here, let me help you up."
/
Meanwhile, Sunny and a now cleaned up Laurie are walking down a hallway with awkward silence in between them, which Laurie tries to break with a "Soooooooo…"
Sunny turns to Laurie. "Yes?"
"Oh, nothing." Laurie says sheepishly.
"We'd...better keep going."
"Y...Yeah." Laurie hangs her head down.
Sunny raises an eyebrow. "Something on your mind?"
"Who, me? Oh no no no no!"
Sunny blinks twice. "Okay then…"
Just then, Laurie decides to spill her guts out. "It's Deon, I like him and he likes me."
Sunny looks at her confused. "Okay then, what's the problem?"
"I don't know, maybe the fact that I know Margaret won't approve of it, and I know that Deon doesn't like her and...and, oh, I just feel like I'm stuck in between a rock and a hard place. I don't know what to do!" Laurie gets down on her knees and grabs Sunny's shirt. "Please help me! I need it!"
Sunny grabs Laurie's arms and pulls them off her shirt. "First, you've got to calm down."
"Calm down? But how am I supposed to…" Sunny cuts Laurie off by putting her hand over Laurie's mouth.
"Shhhhh, I think I hear something." Sunny puts her ear on the wall so she can hear the footsteps on the other side of the wall. "Oh no!"
"What?" Laurie questioned.
"We have to hide!" Sunny said. "There's something on the other side of the wall!"
"Oh no, where do we hide?" Laurie wanders around in circles.
"Listen, we'll just have to…" before Sunny can finish, Laurie interrupts her.
"I know what to do" she says.
"What?" After Sunny says that, it cuts to some big orange dinosaur looking creature with spikes on its back arriving around the corner. Because of copyright reasons though, it didn't have a shell on it's back. It scratches its head as it goes past the two girls, who were on the ceiling, before continuing its trek down the hallway, the girls fall down to the floor as the coast is clear. "Where did you learn that?" Sunny asked, as she had never done that before.
"Oh, Deon taught me how to do that." Laurie smiled
/
Meanwhile the Terrors were walking along a path when they came across a fork in the road. Off to the left, there was a forest, while on the right, there was a bridge.
"Okay, which way do we go, Carter?" Margaret asked the hacker.
"Well" Carter looks over his map then strokes his chin. After a few seconds he points at the right path "My map says that this path is shorter…"
"Okay then, we go that way" Margaret heads toward the right path.
"You didn't let me finish" those words from Carter makes Margaret stop dead in her tracks. "This way is shorter, but it has more enemies, the other way is longer, but it has less enemies for us to fight."
This gets the attention of Olga, who after a loud burp is ready to go. "Vhatever, vi van handle vit. Vust watch ve!"
Rival whispers in her ear "but don't you think you're being a little reckless here. We should probably think it over."
Olga spurns Rival. "Vi've got vhis" she says before she grabs her war hammer and runs toward the bridge.
"No wait!" Margaret tries to stop her but Olga is too strong for her, so she heads toward the bridge anyway. She takes one step on the bridge and immediately the ground beneath her starts to shake.
"See, what'd I tell ya!" Margaret shouts.
"Vi'm sorrvy Vi'll…" before Olga can finish, something jumps onto the bridge which causes it to shake even harder. Cuts to the other side of the bridge where a giant lava monster can be seen, which somehow, isn't burning the bridge. "Vo no" Olga says. The lava monster spews lava everywhere. Again, it's a wonder how the bridge hasn't melted at this point.
"Yo, that is so gangsta!" Dante comments about the monster.
Margaret rubs her forehead. "Oh well, we've gotta save 'er I guess."
"Yeah, but how the heck are we supposed to fight that thing?" Elizabeth asks.
Rival puts his arm around her shoulder. "Calm down, it's just a hunka hunka burning...ROCK!"
Everyone else sighs. "That isn't helpful!" Elizabeth responds.
Meanwhile, Olga turns around and runs the other way, but the jumping monster is there to greet her. "Um, vi…" Just as she says that, Deon hits the beast with his hammer, knocking it over. "Vhanks" she says to the wrestler.
After that, the rest of the Terrors team rushes into battle. "Seriously, what do we do?" Elizabeth asks.
"Yeah, because we can't touch it." Deon replies.
"Hmmmmm…" Margaret looks off to her right. "There's a lake over there. She points. "Let's see if we can lead this thing to it." The rest of the team follows her directions. Just then, the Bellhops happen upon the same fork in the road and see the lava on the bridge.
Franchesco puts his hand on the back of his head and says "Yeah, we should probably go the other way." The Bellhops follow him into the forest.
"Man, this place is creepy" Andrew comments.
Maria turns to Qwynn. "Hold me!" She jumps into his arms.
A weirded out Qwynn asked "What are you doing?"
"What? Oh I'm sorry, I thought you were someone else." They both stare at each other awkwardly.
Confessional: Qwynn
"Okay so she clearly has something else on her mind. Interesting." He writes this down. "I wonder if I can get her to spill other secrets about herself?" He strokes his chin.

Meanwhile, Phoebe was shaking at the sight of the dark and creepy forest around her, some eyes popped out at her from a nearby tree, to which she reacted by screaming and grabbing Regina, who was right next to her.
Regina pats her on the head. "There there, it's alright" she comforts her.
Phoebe points at the tree. "B...But I think I saw something over there!"
"It's okay," she pats Phoebe, "I'm sure it was nothing, and even if it was, you don't need to worry, because you've got me by your side" she says confidently.
"B...But what if it jumps out at us?" Right after Phoebe says that, a gigantic skunk monster does indeed jump out at them.
"Okay everyone, we just have to remain calm and not make any…*burp*...noises." because of Liz's burp, the skunk monster swipes at them. Everyone cowers in fear, well almost everyone that is.
"Hey!" Regina shakes her purse as she walks right up to the monster. "You think you can scare me, well I'm a big girl, and I don't take kindly to bullies like you!" She smacks it in the face with her purse, to which the monster backs away from her. "Oh no, I ain't finished with you yet sweetie!" As Regina gets closer to it, it backs away from her until it falls down awkwardly. "Huh?" Regina gets a closer look, and sees the skunk monster is writhing in pain. "Oh there there, it's okay." She rubs the wounded foot. It's scared of her, so it leans away from her. "I ain't gonna hurt you. I just want to get that nasty thing out of there." She reaches for the splinter and pulls it out. It licks her in return. Regina turns to her team and says "I don't think we'll have to worry about it anymore!" It licks her again, to which she laughs at. "Hey, you're big and fluffy, I think I'll call you Fluffy!"

Meanwhile, Sunny and Laurie were still in the castle trying to find a way out.
"So, what were you saying about Deon again?" Sunny asked Laurie.
"What? Oh yeah, I just don't know what to do," Laurie sighs, "honestly...hey, what's that?
"What?" The pop idol looked over her shoulder to see some shadows coming from the corridor next to them. "Hide!" Sunny grabs Laurie and they hide beyond a suit of armor. Around the corridor are more of those mushroom creatures like the one from before, only these ones are bigger and have sharp jaws.
"Oh my, what are those?" Laurie asked.
"I don't know, but we'd better steer clear of them."
"I uh…" Laurie begins to sneeze. "Ah…ah…" Before Laurie sneezes, Sunny puts her finger over Laurie's nose. "Thank you."
"You're welcome," Sunny says.
Just then, Laurie sneezes. "ACHOO!" Causing the mushroom creatures to turn around. "Whoops."
"You goofus!" Sunny yelled at Laurie as the creatures surround the girls.
Laurie sighs. "Look, this was my fault. Let me fix it."
"How?" Right after Sunny says that, Laurie just goes right for it, attempting a jump kick, but while she was in mid air, one of the creatures breathes fire in her direction. "No!" Sunny leaps up to save Laurie, with the blast hitting her, but instead of being roasted alive, Sunny just vanished into thin air.
"Noooooooooo!" Laurie yells before she herself gets hit with another fire blast.
/
Meanwhile, things weren't going as well for the Terrors. What's the saying? You can lead a lava monster to water but you can't make it go in?
"Vhat vo ve vo now?" A scared Olga questions.
"Could ya speak more normally? I can't understand ya." Margaret replies.
Olga growls at this and decides to try something on her own, so she slips away from the group.
"What do we do now?" A scared Elizabeth cowers as the monster encroaches slowly towards them.
"Well I can't hack into it" Carter says as he continues to type on his computer.
"And I can't hit it!" Rival says as he continues to try to hit the monster with his weapon, but it keeps parts of itself disappear, so it can't be hit.
"Where's Deon?" Margaret asked.
Elizabeth looks around. "I don't know, he was here a second ago. I don't see Olga either."
"Great, now I've got two idiots to worry about." Margaret rubs her forehead.
Just then, a loud yell is heard coming from off in the distance. The monster turns around to see Olga, who has leaped into the air and is attempting to hit the monster with her hammer, but thanks to her screaming, the monster has enough time to dodge out of the way, leaving Olga to crash into Margaret. "You stupid idiot!" Margaret yells at her.
"Sorrvy." Olga shrugs her shoulders. The monster attacks everyone by shooting lava out of its hands, using it to wrap around them like a rope.
"Wait, we're not dying?" Elizabeth questions. "Isn't lava supposed to kill you?"
"I think it's another one of Hayley's safety precautions." Carter answers her.
Margaret sighs. "Great, now dat dhat's settled, what are we supposed to do now?" The rest of the team just shrugs their shoulders, much to Margaret's chagrin. Just then, the monster gets knocked into the water from behind. It helplessly begs for mercy as it melts away. The lava that was entangling them also melted away. A figure which is revealed to be Deon appears out of the blue.
"Rule number one of doing a surprise attack is to stay silent." Deon directs at Olga.
"Look, I'm vorry vokay?"
"No" Margaret put her hand over Olga's mouth. "What he's saying is right. You almost killed us. You need to be smart, like Deon ova here."
Confessional: Olga
"Vo Margaret is agreeing with wrestler guy? Vhat is vhis? Opposite day?" She scratches her head.

Meanwhile, the Bellhops were all sitting on top of Fluffy by this point, with Regina leading the way of course. "Onward Fluffy" she says as the creature majestically continues down the path.
"Hey Maria" Qwynn whispers as he asks the girl.
"Yes?"
"Who do you think we should vote for next?"
"Oh um I uh…" as she twirls her hair, she stares over at Liz then back to Qwynn. "...I'm not sure" she finally answers nervously.
"Oh really?" Qwynn asks as he writes something down.
"I uh…" she stammers.
Qwynn interrupts her. "Are you sure you don't want to vote for Liz?"
Maria was caught off guard by Qwynn's assertion. "What? I uh...I don't know."
"Okay!" Qwynn satisfyingly responds, leaving Maria confused.
Confessional: Qwynn
"Okay so now I know I should be suspicious of Liz. If Maria is scared of her, that's good enough for me!"
Confessional over
After Qwynn finishes talking to Maria, he notices Tyson hunched over, and giving the most dissatisfied look on his face, so Qwynn scooches over to him. "Hey, what's wrong buddy?" He asks him.
"Oh" Tyson sighs. "Nothing, I guess."
"Really? It doesn't sound like nothing."
A thoroughly confused Tyson queries "How do you know what nothing sounds like?"
Qwynn sighs, then facepalms himself before putting his shoulder around him and saying "Trust me, I just know. Now could you please tell me what the problem is?"
"Oh, alright." Tyson takes a deep breath before continuing. "Well, it's just that Kevin was my only real bro here, but he was kinda being a jerk and he wasn't a team player, like me of course, but at the same time, I'm just kinda lonely without him. You know?"
Qwynn smiles. "Why yes, I do know what you're saying surprisingly" he mumbles that last word. "Hey I'll tell you what, how about I be your friend from now on?"
"Seriously?"
"Yes, seriously. I may not be as athletic as Kevin, but I could help you stay out of trouble, and who knows, maybe I'll learn to like sports, or whatever. So, what do you say?" Qwynn sticks his hand out for Tyson to shake it.
At this, Tyson perks up. "Sure" he says before shaking Qwynn's hand.
Meanwhile, a desperate Andrew tries to take the reins from Regina. "Here, let me have a turn," he says.
"Hey, what do you think you're doing?" Regina shouts in response.
"We're going to slow!" A concerned Andrew replies. "We need to save Sunny!"
"Yes, but Fluffy likes me the most, which is why I'm the one in front!"
"Guys!" Liz shouts.
"What?" Andrew and Regina both say at the same time. Liz just points in front of them, to which they turn to see that they're about to hit Elvis, who is in front of a cave.
"Woah there Fluffy! Slow down!"
The creature does as Regina says, stopping just in the knick of time before hitting Elvis, who breathes a sigh of relief as he's glad he doesn't get run over. He shakes it off before saying "Good day, Ballistic Bellhops" Elvis points at them, "you all ready for a hunka hunka burning coals?"
"Oh nevermind, it's just some random old dude." Regina looks disappointed. "What does he want?"
"Behold you groovy teens, the boiler room." Elvis gestures at the cave behind him. Andrew coughs.
"But it looks like a cave" Franchesco notes. Elvis completely ignores him and goes on with introducing the next challenge to them.
"You groovy guys and gals will have to go through these hot coals while I sing."
"Yeah, not happening! Fluffy!" Regina has Fluffy turn around so he can spray the old codger with its stench, but Elvis puts on a gas mask.
"Nice try baby girl, but you all have to get off the skunk. Uh huh uh huh!"
"Nice try." Regina has Fluffy attack the old man, but suddenly ropes are tossed over the creature, subduing it to the ground. "Now everyone, get off that skunk!"
Everyone grumbles as they comply with his orders. "Hey, I still have my purse" Regina goes over to Elvis to hit the intern on the head, but Elvis bats it away with his guitar.
"Now listen here boys and girls, this right here is a story about you, because…" he strums his guitar as he starts singing. "You ain't nothing but a hound dog, crying all the time!"
Confessional: Liz
She has her ears covered. "That tone deaf buffoon! Singing like that will get me out of my daze, but I sure wish it wouldn't have. I'm here in the confessional just to get away from it!"

Meanwhile, Sunny and Laurie were back where they began, rotting away in a dungeon, only in this one there's an orc guard off to the side with the keys guarding the two girls.
"You'll never get out of here!" The guard told the girls.
"Look, I'm sorry…"
"Shush!" Sunny puts her hand over Laurie's mouth. "Look, it doesn't matter how we ended up here, we just have to find a way out of here" before taking her hand off her mouth, letting Laurie speak.
"I'm sorry, it's just that I've gotten us into this mess…" Sunny stops her right there.
"Why are you still apologizing?" Sunny asks in a concerned tone, causing Laurie to sigh.
"I don't know" Laurie says, "I guess it's just part of my upbringing. I'm used to messing things up."
Sunny puts her hands on Laurie's shoulders. "Listen, you don't have to beat yourself up for every little thing you get wrong."
Laurie raised an eyebrow. "I…I don't?"
"No, you don't. What you need to do is learn from your mistakes and move on."
Laurie sighs. "I guess you're right."
"No, you need to be more confident, and don't doubt yourself."
Laurie thinks about it for a moment before saying "You know, maybe you're right. I need to stop doubting myself. I can do this!"
"That's the spirit!" Sunny exclaims. "Now, we need to find a way out of here. Can you help me with that?"
"I...I guess so."
"Good, now are you a good actor?"
Cuts to Laurie making distress signals, getting the guard's attention.
"What do you want?" The orc grumpily asked.
"Sir, I need to go to the restroom." Laurie replied.
"Hah, nice try little girl, but do you think I'm that stupid?"
"Nope, but I do think that I've distracted you long enough."
The orc looks down at his keys, but instead he sees them in the hands of Sunny, who has already used them to open the door. The girls make a break for it. "Hey!" He chases after them. The girls continue running until they get to the stairs, where the first step immediately freezes, causing Sunny to slip.
"These stairs are exactly like the other ones." Laurie says.
"Yeah" Sunny says as she gets up, "but this time we have him!" Sunny points at the guard right as he catches up to the girls.
"Who, me?" Cuts to the girls at the top of the stairs where they high five each other. The guard is off to the side tarred, feathered, bruised, beaten, and it looks like someone painted a Jackson Pollock on his face. "Curse you two!" He says before falling down, causing the girls to snicker at him.
"That was actually fun!" Laurie exclaims.
"Yeah, but we've still got to find a way out of this place." Sunny reminds her.
/
The Terrors returned to find the bridge now lava free, so they crossed it. "Okay everyone, stay alert!" Margaret instructs her team. "We can't afford to have any more distractions."
"Look, vi said I'm vorry!"
"We know!" Margaret answers Olga. "Just don't make things worse!"
"Next time, maybe try not to be so loud!" Elizabeth said to Olga.
"Listen" Rival whispers in Olga's ear. "You need to cool it, and be more careful next time."
"Vokay, I've got vit." Just then, something snaps a tree nearby.
"I told everyone that we shouldn't go this way." Right after Carter says this to his team, another gang of pirate robot skeletons appear out of nowhere.
"Seriously, these guys again?" Elizabeth groaned.
One of them pointed a sword at Margaret, saying "Yar matey, we're here to pillage the souls of toasters!"
An unintimidated Margaret says "First, I am not a toaster, second, do not point a sword in my face like dat!"
"Von't worry, I've vot vhis!" Olga charged at the pirate robot skeleton, but just then, a bunch of them surround her and Margaret, along with the rest of their team. The mob boss turns to her.
"Good going, ya dingus!"
"Vi can still smash them." Olga tries to hit one with her hammer, but the weapon bounces right off of it. "Huh?"
Deon tries to attack them as well, but he can't even make a dent in them. "What the?" He tries to punch one, but he hurts his hand "Ouch!" He clutches his fist in pain.
"Yo dawg, these things must be made of some really hard metal or something" Dante exclaims.
"Hmmmmmm, well let me see about that" Carter says as he types on his computer.
"Huh?" Dante looks over his shoulder. "What you up to, bro?" Carter ignores him, leaving a curious Dante to slink down and get in front of his face. "Yo, it is not nice to ignore me like that dawg!"
"Would you get out of my way?" Right after Carter yells that at him, one of the pirate robot skeletons puts a sword through his screen, breaking the device. "Now look what you did!" Carter belts out at Dante as they and the rest of their team are captured.

Meanwhile, Elvis was on like his fifth encore as the Bellhops continued to struggle with the hot coals.
"...but don't you mess with my blue, blue, blue suede shoes. Yeah blue, blue, blue, blue suede shoes. Don't you be messin' with my blue suede shoes!"
"Would you please just put a cork in it already!?" Liz yells at the Elvis impersonator.
"You can burn my house, steal my car, drink my juice from an old fruit jar, but don't you mess with my blue suede shoes!" Elvis sings as he tap dances.
"Ugh, nevermind!" Liz throws one of her acid bombs on the coals, but they're coals, so they don't melt. Meanwhile, Andrew argues with Franchesco.
"What do you mean you refuse to carry me?"
Franchesco sighs. "I mean carrying you on regular ground is one thing, but carrying you on hot coals is a whole other beast. What if I drop you, or I fall down, huh?"
"Yeah but but…"
Franchesco facepalms himself. "Look, you're the contestant here, I'm not, so I don't have to step on the hot coals if I don't want to!" He folds his arms.
"Oh yeah well, I bet you wouldn't be saying that if Sunny was on the other side of the coals!"
Franchesco throws his arms up in the air. "Dude, you know that's a weak comeback, I could say the exact same thing to you!"
Just then, Phoebe butts into their conversation with a confused "Wait, but isn't Sunny the one who we're supposed to rescue?"
Andrew and Franchesco both frown as Phoebe catches their attention. "You know...she's right." Franchesco speaks up.
"Yeah, sorry about that, I guess we got a little bit carried away. It's just I really want to save Sunny, and earlier today she told me not to worry, but it's hard to do that when she's missing, you know?"
Franchesco smiles. "Yeah, I know. I'm sorry, I guess it's also partially my fault for pushing you back there. I just really wanted to find Sunny too, you know?
"Andrew shrugs. "Yeah, I kinda figured that. So now that that's out of the way, for Sunny?" Andrew holds out his fist for Franchesco to fist bump it.
"For Sunny." The two share a fist bump together.
"So like, what are you guys going to do?" Phoebe asks the pair. Franchesco glances over at Andrew with a smile.
"Are you thinking what I'm thinking?"
"If you're thinking about my phone, probably."
Franchesco facepalms himself in response to that. As this was going on, Tyson was psyching himself up after several failed attempts.
"Okay Tyson, you can do this buddy! I know you messed up on like the last eleventeen tries, but you can do this!"
Qwynn taps him on the left shoulder. "Hey buddy, you need some help?"
"I...I...in all honesty, I probably could." Tyson stares down at his burned tennis shoes and sighs.
"Well I'd be happy to help."
Tyson scratches his head. "Wait, didn't you just use a rope to get across last challenge? Why can't we just do that here now?
"Two problems with that," Qwynn explains. "First, the ceiling isn't that high, and second, look, do you see an end in sight?" Qwynn points at the inside of the cave, which is very dark.
"No" Tyson answers the writer.
"Exactly, for all we know those coals could go on for a long time."
"So like then, what do we do?"
"Well, what is fire's biggest weakness?" Qwynn quizzes the jock.
"Oh oh I know," Tyson raises his hand, "wind!" He blurts out.
"No," Qwynn gets frustrated, "well actually yes, technically, but also no. But look, my point is that I was talking about water."
"Oh, well where are we supposed to get that?"
"Right here!" Qwynn opened up the ring on his right pinky finger, and water came bursting out, some of which sprayed Elvis, who spit it out.
"Hey man, that wasn't very nice! Now I'm all wet and my guitar is soaked!" The Elvis impersonator exclaims, which is ignored by Tyson and Qwynn, the latter of which uses the water coming out of his ring to cool the coals down. Just then, Franchesco and Andrew come charging right at them. Tyson and Qwynn both get out of the way just in time to watch them both slip on the now wet coals and fall on their butts.
"We're okay!" The pair say, to which everyone else on the team laughs at.
/
Meanwhile, the girls were still looking for a way out of the castle.
"Man, this place is big." Sunny comments.
"Yeah, I mean how does Hayley fit all of this into a basement?" Laurie questions.
Sunny talks to Laurie. "My teammates told me something about there being an entire hotel in the Las Vegas challenge. How is that possible?"
"Really? That's…" before Laurie can finish, she is interrupted by the sound of some loud footsteps. "What was that?"
"Ugh, it's probably that thing from before. You know, that thing we had to hide from?"
"Oh yeah, that thing. What should we do about it?"
"Well," Sunny puts her hand over her chin, "we should probably fight it somehow, because it probably just won't let us out."
"True, but how?" Laurie queries. "That thing is like a million feet taller than us."
"Well, you know what they say, the bigger they are, the harder they fall." After Sunny finishes this sentence, the camera angle goes up, to show the giant tapestry behind Laurie's head.
Cuts to the same creature from before coming around the corridor. Just then, the two girls jump out in front of it. "Are you sure about this?" Laurie whispers in Sunny's ear.
"Trust me" Sunny whispers back in Laurie's ear, "it will." Almost on cue, the dragon shoots a massive fireball at the girls.
"Look out!" Laurie pushes Sunny out of the way just in time for the fireball to harmlessly shoot past the girls and go through the wall.
"I didn't know it could do that!" Sunny shouts.
"Well, what are we going to do now?" Laurie questions.
"Look, this plan can still work, we just have to get it to chase us."
Laurie sighs. "Alright, whatever you say."
Sunny gets out in front of the beast before saying "Hey you big ugly thing you" Sunny dares the creature, "come and get us!" She says before turning around the other direction and running. Laurie sighs before following Sunny around the corner. "Okay," Sunny says, "now we just need to grab this tapestry."
Laurie does as she says and the two girls stretch it out for the beast to trip on. When it does, it creates a loud sound that is heard all throughout the castle. A chandelier falls on its head. "You think that's going to work?" Laurie asks Sunny skeptically.
"Oh yeah, I'm sure we're safe." Just then, the monster gets up and rubs its head. Getting angry, it belts out a loud roar at the girls, getting their attention.
"What do we do now?" Laurie asks with an extremely terrified look on his face.
"Run!" Sunny just yells.

The pirate robot skeletons have taken the Terrors back to their ship, and have most of them tied up with chains. Margaret and Olga are fighting.
"It's your fault that we're here in the first place!" Margaret berates Olga.
"Vit's voy vy fault vhat vhose vhings are indestructible!" Olga yells back in response.
"No, but we could've gone the otha way, ya brick wall, but no, we just had to take da right path!" Margaret complained.
"Look, vi said vi vas sorry!"
"Sorry ain't gonna cut it. The point is that ya got us into this mess, and now it's gonna take a miracle to get us out!"
"A miracle vou say? Hmmmm…" Olga looks around to see the ship's mast in front of her, and a rope off to the side. "Vi've vot an idea." Olga jumps over to the rope and puts it into her mouth. She then turns around and hops in the other direction, pulling the sail down.
"Good job genius," Margaret says sarcastically, "you've just got us to set sail!"
Olga lets out a muffled "Vi'm vot done vet" as she continues pulling, she pulls the sail over so that it knocks out a good amount of pirate robot skeletons. Meanwhile, Margaret wasn't paying attention as she was just using her file to get the chains off.
"Ah, that feels better." From there, she just uses her hands to untie the chains.
"Vey look, vi knocked vhem vout." Olga tries to get Margaret's attention.
"Yeah yeah yeah" Margaret says as she's already untieing Carter.
"Thanks" Carter says as he's finally free.
"Now, do your nerd thing and get us out of this mess." Margaret tells Carter.
"Actually," he explains, "my laptop was kinda totaled."
Margaret pulls him over then looks around to see if anyone was watching. No one was, so she proceeds to tell him "Look, I may have a phone dat I'm willing to lend ya." She pulls out her phone, which appears to be made of a bullet proof material. She types in the password and hands it over to the tech wiz. "Here. Think ya can do anything with it?"
Carter is amazed at what she handed him. "Wow, this is far more advanced than any phone I've ever seen. Where'd you get it?"
"Look…" Mar bites her lip, "dat's not important, just do something." A commotion is heard, to which Margaret turns around to see that not all of the pirate robot skeletons haven't been defeated, and are in fact coming after them "quick!" She yelps.
Carter does his thing, and is able to hack into the pirate robot skeletons, and reprogram them to jump off the ship, into the water, to which Dante sees.
"Yo homie, what did you just do?" The confused gangsta asks. Carter says nothing in response and in fact his face turns red as he hands the phone back to Margaret.
Confessional: Dante
"Woah dawg, that freaky man, you know what I'm sayin? Like one minute those things were after then the next minute they just jumped off." He thinks for a second. "Wait, what if that Carter guy had something to do with Cheori's elimination? Yeah, that's it! He coulda used his freaky computer magic to pin the loss on her! I gotta warn everyone else dawg!"

Meanwhile, the Ballistic Bellhops were far in the cave, with Fluffy trailing behind them. Phoebe and Regina were discussing what to do.
"Look honey, I'm sorry I haven't gotten your hat back yet." Regina apologizes.
"Eh, it's okay," Phoebe sighs. "I guess we could wait for the next challenge." She kicks a pebble on the ground.
"No, it's not okay, I'm going to get it back for you right now!" Regina walks over to Qwynn, with Phoebe stopping her.
"No, you don't have to do this!" She says as she tugs on Regina's arm.
"Yes I do, let go!" The two girls fight, but eventually Regina is able to break free. As this was happening, Qwynn and Tyson were having a friendly conversation.
"Hey man, thanks for helping me out back there. It's good to know that someone has my back!" Tyson thanks the writer.
"You're welcome, and it was no big deal, really."
"No man, you don't need to be modest, you really did me and the rest of the team a big favor." In an attempt to thank him even further, Tyson attempts to chest bump him, but an ill prepared Qwynn just falls down. "Oh, sorry bro! Here, let me help you up."
"Oh no, it's okay. I'm fine." Just as Qwynn says that, Regina reaches into his pocket and yoinks the hat away from him, but Qwynn notices this and goes after her. "Hey!" He yells as he chases her down.
"It's her hat and you know it!" Regina yells back at him.
"Hey, I'm just trying to help her!" Qwynn says as he grabs the hat from her, and tugs at it.
"Your definition of helping her and mine are two very different things!" Regina pulls back.
"Hey I'm thinking about what's best for her, you just want her to suffer!" The hat begins to rip…
"If you cared about her like you said, then you would've thrown it out already!" Regina retorts back.
"Maybe I wasn't planning to harm her, and I was going to give it back to her! Ever think about that?" Qwynn pulls harder.
"Yeah if you're doing bad in a challenge and you need her, you're just going to make her schizophrenia worse!"
"She has schizophrenia?" Qwynn stops pulling and lets go of the hat, sending Regina backwards into Phoebe.
"Yeah, and if she needs the hat for comfort, you should respect that!"
Qwynn immediately understands and is there to help Regina up. "I'm so sorry, I had no idea. If there's anything I could do to help, just say the word. In fact, here." Qwynn takes off the ring on his left ring finger and gives it to the fashionista. "This is a signet ring. I only give it to people who I owe a debt of gratitude to, and Regina, you've earned it!" He shakes her hand before putting the ring on her finger.
"Ooh, it looks good!" Then she turns to Phoebe. "Now, here's your hat back just like your auntie Regina promised." She gives her the hat, but Phoebe breaks down crying. "What's wrong sweetie?" In response, Phoebe just points at the hat. Regina looks down to see that it's torn in half.
"Oh no!" She drops the hat immediately.
"What happened?" Qwynn looks over to see the hat. "Oh man." Qwynn hyperventilates. Look, I am so sorry…"
"Save it!" Phoebe interrupts Qwynn.
"But…"
"Look, there's nothing we can do about it now, so we're just going to have to move on!"
Qwynn sighs. "Okay" he says dejectedly.
Just then, "Look, daylight!" Andrew points at the end of the tunnel, which the Bellhops immediately run toward. When they make it to the end, there they find the castle off to their left. The drawbridge immediately opens for them, and they are met by Laurie and Sunny, both of whom are scared for their lives.
"Run!" Sunny shouts.
"Huh?" The rest of the team replies. Just then, the same creature from before shoots a fireball at them, to which everyone dodges it except for Qwynn, who just lifted the lock on the same ring from before, and he turned the little dial up all the way to the "tidal wave" setting, which completely put all the fire out and doused the beast. It tried to breathe fire again, but it couldn't because it was very thoroughly soaked. Just then, Hayley appeared in front of them.
"Well well well, good job Ballistic Bellhops, and since you were the first to find your princess, even though you technically found both of them, you win the challenge!"
The Bellhops team cheered, while Laurie just sighs. It then cuts to the Terrors deciding who to eliminate.

"Okay ya two, I think it should be pretty obvious who I want ya to vote for tonight." Margaret commanded Laurie and Elizabeth. "That bika chick really cost us da game today, and as ya know, I do not tolerate that behavior, kapeesh?"
"Kapeesh" Laurie responds obediently.
"But…" Margaret gave Elizabeth a serious stare and pointed at her face before interrupting her.
"No buts ya hear? Otherwise, you're next on da chopping block, fireball. Ya got it?"
"Um...yes ma'am." Elizabeth nervously responds, clearly starting to have some second thoughts.

Before the elimination ceremony, Deon was the most popular person.
"Hey Deon?" Laurie asks him.
"Yes?" He responds.
"Well I was talking with Margaret and…"
"Woah woah woah," Deon interrupts Laurie, "you know not to start off a conversation with me with those words." The wrestler folds his arms.
"I'm sorry," she frowns a bit, but not enough for Deon to notice, "I mean we should vote for Olga."
"Hmmmmm…" he thinks for a second, "okay. But why?"
She sighs. "Because, she blew the challenge for us, and she wanted to challenge you know who."
"Yes," he puts his hand on her shoulder, "I know that, and you need my vote why?"
She sighs. "Look, just go with me here. I'm really counting on you here." Laurie kisses him before walking away.
As Laurie leaves, Carter comes up to Deon to make his case, causing Deon to raise an eyebrow. "What do you want you jabroni?"
"Look, I'm not here to fight you" Carter responds.
"Let me guess, you want me to vote for someone?"
"How did you know?" Carter asks.
"Look man, who is it?" Deon bluntly states.
"Dante." Carter answers, which causes Deon to raise an eyebrow.
"Seriously?"
"Look, Dante is a liability. You saw how he blew the challenge for us today."
Deon puts his fingers on his chin. "Hmmm…True. But I don't know man, Dante and I are kinda tight, sorta."
Carter sighs. "Think of it this way, you'd be doing everyone a favor by voting for him now so that he doesn't screw up for us down the line. Plus, what has he ever done for you."
Flashback to Minisode: Dealing with Loss
We see Dante explaining how he went full on gangsta mode and how he got Hayley to incorporate Sasha the tiger into future challenges, with Deon shedding a tear, before promptly body slamming him.
Flashback over
Deon clears his throat before saying "Well man, I'll take that into consideration."
"Just something for you to think about." Carter states before walking away.
Confessional: Carter
"Getting Deon on board is important, but I need to cover my tracks."

Meanwhile, Rival and Olga were discussing what to do.
"Vhat should ve vo? Vi mean vhey're probably going vo vote for ve."
"Well, what you did today certainly didn't help." The guitarist said.
Olga sighed. "Vi know. Vi vhought vi vas voing vhe team a favor vy vaking vhe shorter path. Vit's just vhings vot out of hand. Vhat's all."
"I know, but that's not how the others see it."
"Yo guys!" Dante butted into the conversation.
"Oh, look who it is." Rival rolled his eyes.
"Hey, vou're vhat vangster vuy."
"The one and only sugar baby." Dante pointed at Olga.
"Von't call ve vhat." Olga points back at Dante.
"Yo" Dante beats his chest, "it's okay home slice" he kisses his fist then makes the peace sign with his hand. "We cool?"
Rival sighs. "What do you want?" He facepalms.
Dante glared at Rival with a confused look on his face for a second before saying "Huh? Oh yeah, right right right! I was just here to follow up on the possibility of an alliance."
"No deal" an annoyed Rival states bluntly.
"Yo dawg, I just thought you'd like to know that Carter was doing some creepy things with technology."
Rival grabs him by the shirt collar and exclaims "What?"
"Veriously?" Olga questions.
"Seriously, and I've got proof dawg!" Dante exclaims.
"Oh yeah?" Rival tightens his grip. "Show us."
"Well you see the thing about that is that I can't, but I saw him typing on his computer before that thing attacked us, and again when Olga tried to fight that thing. Plus I know that he was the one who eliminated that Cheori chick."
Rival releases Dante from his grasp. "Look, that's all heresy. Unless you have any proof, I'm still a little skeptical."
"Vi von't know about vhat." Olga made a thinking pose by grabbing her chin. "Vi vouldn't have missed like vhat normally." She strokes her chin.
"See!" Dante says to Rival. "There you go, there's your proof."
"Hmmmm…" Rival strokes his chin.
"Whelp, I can see we're now on the same page brotha, so I'm gonna take my leave dawg!" He kisses his knuckles then makes the peace sign again before saying "peace out homies" and slinking away.
"Vell, vhat vo vou think?"
Rival strokes his chin again. "Hmmm...I think…"
Before Rival can finish, Carter is there to greet them with a friendly "Hello."
/
Confessional: Carter
"I hope this works. According to my calculations, this should be a 4-3-1 vote. I just hope I have the four on my side."

Confessional: Rival
"Hmmmm…" he strokes his chin. "I think there's something fishy going on, but I'm just not sure who I can trust."
Confessional over
Confessional: Deon
"Oh, I just don't know what to do. I mean what should the perfect man do? I mean I know Olga messed up today, but Dante is Dante." He groans.
Confessional over
Confessional: Elizabeth
She sighs. "I know Margaret wants me to vote for Olga, but I don't know. She's the only worthy competitor for me on this team." She groans then puts down the stamp so she can hold her head. "Ugh, why does this have to be so difficult?!"

At the elimination ceremony, everyone was feeling a little uneasy. The tension in the room was so thick that you could cut it with a knife. Even Margaret had her arms folded. "So, it looks like everyone's happy to be here." Hayley says very sarcastically.
"Just get it over with!" Margaret yelled at her.
"Jeez, tough crowd." Hayley muttered before beginning the festivities.
Everyone just stares annoyed back at her.
"Okay so, Laurie, you were the princess today, so here."
"Thank you." Laurie says as she catches her card.
"And Deon, you were completely focused today and wouldn't let anything get you down, so here's your card"
"Thanks" Deon says as he catches his card.
"Now as for you two" Hayley points at Rival and Elizabeth, "you are the only ones left here that didn't get any votes."
"What? Who voted for me?" Margaret exclaims as Rival and Elizabeth catch their cards, the latter of which looks a little bit uncomfortable.
"Ms. Diablo," Hayley mentions, "I was just about to bring you up you next. You only received one vote tonight, so here."
Confessional: Margaret
"I swear, I will find out whoever voted for me, and when I do, I will end them."
Confessional over
"Now, as for you three" Hayley points at Carter, Dante, and Olga. "You three received the rest of the votes tonight."
With each of them looking extremely nervous, they all gulp as they look each other in the face.
"Carter, some people are suspicious of you."
You can hear Carter's heart beating as he sweats.
"But sadly, for me at least," she murmurs, "you just barely avoided elimination."
Carter breathes a sigh of relief. "Yes!" He says as he catches his card. Dante shakes his head at this.
Confessional: Dante
"Yo, you've gotta be kidding me bro, dude be actin' suspicious. Call me a fool, but something's up with dude. Just saying." Dante shouts as the pressure mounts. You can see it on his face.
Confessional over
"Now that that's over, you two are the bottom two. Now, you weren't very helpful in this challenge today, and Dante, you're apparently making some enemies. The last card goes to…"

"Dante."
"Hah, I knew you guys wouldn't vote out the world's best gangsta!" Dante comments as he catches his card. Carter groans at the result.
"Hah, vot vhe first boot. Vell, see ya." Olga says as she prepares to get booted out the window, but that boot never comes. "Vait, vhat's going von?"
"Actually," Chef says, "since this is the basement, we actually can't eliminate you the normal way. So I'll give you two options. Either you walk outta here right now, or you accept a job as an intern. Your choice."
Olga scratches her head. "Vell, I've had some fun vhere, so vi von't vanna go."
"Then it's settled." Right after Chef says that, the camera pans to Hayley, who gives the outro.
"Well, another chance to get rid of that damn hacker has gone to the wayside," she sighs before whispering "I really need to go back to the drawing board" before speaking back up to say "anyway, this has been another exciting episode. What surprises will I have for the contestants...and a certain hacker I know" she mumbles, before speaking back up again "next time? Find out on the next rip roaring episode of TOTAL DRAMA HOTEL MADNESS!"

AN: Sorry Bad, but the main reason why I eliminated Olga here was because I just felt she was the most expendable. Nothing personal. I just felt that she didn't have as much going for her as others, especially the other girls. I originally had more planned for her, but I felt that I could just do some version of that with her as an intern, which is why I had her accept that job. Rest assured, we will be seeing more of Olga down the road though. Also, while I will say that it wasn't the main reason why I eliminated her, but ngl her accent was a little frustrating to deal with at times. Don't get me wrong, I have nothing against characters with accents, heck, I gave Margaret an Italian accent and I have some characters in my roster with accents, so it's not like I hated Olga because of that, but it's just that her Russian accent proved to be harder for me to write than I anticipated. One more thing, I just wanted to encourage everyone to leave a review. Tell me what you think of this episode. It's just that I noticed that each episode is getting less views and reviews, so I just want to know that you guys care. In fact, to encourage you guys to leave a review, I have a question for all of you. Since we're halfway to the merge, who are your picks to make the merge? Lastly, I just want to thank BaseballCapClyde for helping me out with this episode, and yes, I got his permission to use the pirate robot skeletons, lol. But anyways, that is all. Daring out!
