Ballistic Bellhops- Andrew, Liz, Maria, Phoebe, Regina, Sunny, Tyson, Qwynn 8/10

The scene opens up on Hayley, who is holding four objects in her hands. One is blue and red and has the logos with both teams on it along with two arrows, each pointing at the other side. The second one one had a tidal wave on it, and the third and final one had an image of a two sided scale on it. "Aw yes, my idols are coming along nicely. The team swap, wipeout, and vote swap idols look perfect! Mwah!" Hayley kisses them, then immediately notices the camera in front of her. "Oh yeah, right" she says before clearing her throat and ditching the idols before giving the intro. "Last time on Total Drama Hotel Madness, Laurie and Sunny were kidnapped, and the teams were tasked to find them in a medieval themed floor. Tensions grew between some, and tempers flared between others. In the end, the Bellhops won the challenge, and the Terrors eliminated Olga, who proved herself to be almost no help whatsoever in the challenge. What will happen this time? Find out on this episode of TOTAL DRAMA HOTEL MADNESS!"

*Theme song plays*

The episode begins the day before the challenge, with Regina searching through the boiler room that they went through as part of the last challenge.

"Ah ha!" Regina says as she picks up Phoebe's torn hat.

Cuts to the next day, where Phoebe is arguing with Libby about said torn hat.

"Ugh, it is such a good thing that hat was destroyed! Phoebe folds her arms.

"Don't worry Phoebs, I can still show up!" Libby reminds her.

Phoebe huffs. "I know, but I wish you wouldn't!"

"Hey I thought you liked me?"

"Well I...I just don't know anymore." Phoebe tears up. "I just don't know anymore!" Just then, a knock on her door is heard. "Who is it?" Phoebe asks.

"Hey girl, you know it's me!" Regina answers her excitedly.

"Okay, hold on." Phoebe answers the door for Regina, who immediately hugs her upon opening the door.

"Hey guuuuurl, how's it going?" Regina asks pleasantly.

Phoebe sighs. "Oh, I don't know. Could be better, I guess." She says a tad apprehensively.

"Oh well then in that case, I guess it's a good thing your auntie Regina is here to make things better."

"Really?" Phoebe perks up. "How?"

"Well, I brought you a gift!" Regina pulls out a neatly wrapped box with a bow on top of it out of her bag. "Here, why don't we sit down before you open it." Regina grabs Phoebe by the arm and drags her over to the bed.

"Um, okay." She says in response to being pulled.

"Here, I hope you like it!" Regina puts the box on her lap.

"What is it?" Phoebe asks.

"Open it and find out!"

Phoebe shakes her head. "Oh, alright." She opens the box, and surprise, it's her own hat sewn back together. She immediately tosses it on the ground in disgust. "Get that thing away from me!" She says as she goes toward the head of the bed.

"What's the matter?" Regina frowns. "You don't like it?"

"No!" Phoebe says as she puts the blanket over her head, trying to hide from the situation before poking her head out after a few seconds to say "I mean yes" before putting her head back over the cover and saying "no" again before repeating this process again and saying "I mean yes, no, I mean yes, no, I mean yes."

All this happens before Libby speaks up, saying "I'll take the hat. I can already tell she'll be needing it later."

"Okay then." Regina blinks before saying. "Okay then, I'll see myself out. See ya!"

After she leaves, Phoebe takes back control. "See what you did?"

"What I did? You mean what you did. Things were going great until you messed it up!" Libby yells at Phoebe before switching back over to her.

Phoebe argues "But I don't want that hat back and you know it! You do!"

"You think I took the hat back because I need it? HA! That's a laugh. I've been trying to tell you that I'm a part of you and you know it. With or without the hat I'll always be here, no matter what."

Phoebe gulps at the realization. "Then…Then why did you need the hat?"

"Because my dear, so that you'll always have a reminder of me!" Libby puts the newly sewn together hat back on, then skips over to the mirror before saying "I look good" and smiling.

Phoebe immediately gets a worried expression on her face, and starts breathing heavily.

Confessional: Regina

"After the last challenge I got that hat and was able to sew it back together." She sighs before saying "but I guess Phoebe didn't like it. Or is that Libby? I dunno. I'm really confused."

Confessional: Phoebe

"Please! Somebody help me!" Phoebe screams.

"Oh come on, you've reduced yourself to begging? You're even more pathetic than I thought." Libby laughs. "It's hilarious how dumb you are. Face it Phoebs, I'm on you like white on rice, and there's nothing you can do about it!"

Confessional: Liz

"Okay so, I've got a big day planned ahead of me. First, I'm going to keep an eye on Maria. She could be useful to me, so I've gotta lock in that blackmail while I can. Second, I could use another alliance. Carter is useful, but I need someone on my team, and I think I can easily get someone like Regina or Phoebe to go along with me."

Maria was sitting alone eating her lunch when suddenly, Liz puts her lunch down on the table and sits next to her. "Hey Mar Mar!" Liz says in a cheery voice.

"Um…Mar Mar?" Maria looks around and sees that no one else is there, so she gets confused. "Who exactly are you talking to?" She asks.

Liz giggles. "You, silly!"

"Um…okaaaaaaay." Maria takes a sip of her soup. "Why are you here?" Maria asks in a concerned tone.

"Oh, because we haven't talked in a while, so I just thought I'd catch up with you. So, what's going on?"

Confessional: Maria

She is sitting on the floor, rolled up in a ball, looking like she had just seen a ghost. "Stay calm Maria! You can do it!" She slaps herself on the cheek. "Just stay calm and she won't suspect a thing!" She grunts.

Confessional over

"Not much actually," she gulps. "What about you?"

"Well actually, you see here's the thing. I know about your little alliance with Qwynn, and you know what?" Liz stops to take a bite of her sandwich. "I would prefer it if you didn't vote me off. But you know what, since I'm nice, I'm going to offer you a deal."

Maria gulps before asking Liz "Wha…What kind of deal?"

"Oh nothing much." Liz looks down at the table and starts running her finger across it. "Just…" suddenly she quickly tilts her head towards Maria with a devious smile, as if to jump scare her. "...don't convince Qwynn or anyone else to vote for me or I'll tell everyone that you're on the run!"

"Seriously? How do you know about that?"

"Hah, I was right. You think I didn't notice you acting all desperate. Only two types of people do that, those who are about to die, and those who are on the run, and you're not being threatened by anyone, so it must be the latter." Liz lets out a demented giggle.

Maria sighs. "Okay, okay. It's true. You found out my secret. Just don't let anyone know, especially not…"

Liz perks up upon hearing those last two words, so she says "Especially not who exactly?"

"Um…" Maria realizes what she just said. "...nevermind. Just don't tell anyone else, okay?"

"Oh I won't, as long as you don't vote me off."

"Oh…" Maria pauses for a second before saying "okay, I won't do it."

"Good!" Liz responds with a happy tone. "But just remember, if you do get others to vote me off, crrrrrrrrrrrk." Liz makes a throat slashing gesture.

Maria again gulps before saying a hesitant "Okay" and sweating at the prospect of going along with her.

"Great. Now buhbye!" Liz gets up and leaves as Maria starts shaking, fearing for her life.

"I can't do this, I can't do this!" Andrew was telling himself as he was pacing outside Sunny's door. "No you have to!" Andrew mustered up the courage by taking a few deep breaths before finally knocking on Sunny's door. "Oh man" he said right after. After a few seconds, Franchesco answers the door.

"Andrew? What is it?" he asks the weeb.

Andrew is surprised by Franchesco answering. "What? Oh sorry, where's Sunny?"

"She's sleeping."

"Really? But it's the middle of the afternoon."

"Yeah well um…she had a late night last night. So bye!" Franchesco shuts the door.

"Who was that?" Sunny's voice can be heard from the other side of the door.

"Um…" Franchesco looks around, "nobody."

"Yeah, I'm not buying it. If they want to see me, let them in."

Franchesco gets down on his knees and begs "But Sunny…"

"Don't but Sunny me. Now let them in."

Franchesco sighs before getting up and saying "Oh alright" and opening the door for Andrew.

"Why didn't you just let me in before?" A slightly angered Andrew asks.

"Oh, shut up!" Franchesco slams the door behind Andrew.

"What's his problem?" Andrew asks Sunny.

"Oh, he's just in his grumpy mood." Sunny then turns to Franchesco "Aren't you?"

"Hmph!" Franchesco folds his arms.

"Okay." Andrew notices Sunny watching something on TV, so he asks her "Hey, what are you watching?"

"Oh no." Franchesco mumbles to himself before putting his hand on his forehead and rubbing it.

"Oh, I'm watching Sailor America. Wanna join?" Sunny scooches over to clear a spot for Andrew.

Andrew is taken aback by this statement. "You watch anime too?" The weeb asks, dumbfounded.

"Oh yeah uh huh. It's one of my biggest passions besides music." She giggles.

"Here we go" Franchesco says as Andrew lights up with excitement.

"Ohmygoshohmygoshohmygoshohmygosh" he squeals as he sits down next to her. "I watch a ton of anime. In fact, you could say I'm an expert on all things Japanese!"

Sunny laughs at his response. "Oh really, well maybe you could teach me sometime."

"Oh yeah, I could…hey, this pillow I'm sitting on is really comfy. What is it made out of?" Andrew commented about the pillow that he was sitting on,which was underneath the cover.

This causes Franchesco to raise an eyebrow. "A pillow?"

Sunny's face immediately turns red before she says "Um…what pillow?"

"The one that…" before Andrew can finish, Sunny puts her hand over his mouth to shut him up.

Confessional: Andrew

"EEEEEEEEEE" he squeals. "We have something in common. Wow! That is so cool! I did not see that coming! Yes!" He celebrates by attempting to dance, but he pulls a muscle and falls to the ground. "Someone help me!" He says in pain.

Confessional over

Confessional: Franchesco

He sighs and puts his left hand over his forehead. "I didn't want Andrew to find out because I figured he also watches anime. Sunny's just not ready for a boyfriend yet!"

Meanwhile, Qwynn knocks on Elizabeth's door!

"Hold on a minute" she answers as she was stretching, in a position that seemed unnatural. But being the contortionist she is, she was able to get out of it easily. "Yellow" she says upon answering the door.

"Hey alliance buddy," Qwynn addresses her politely, "so, you got any news?"

"Well," she pauses for a minute.

"Come on, spit it out." Qwynn pressures her.

"Oh, Deon and Laurie are in a relationship that I know Margaret won't approve of. Speaking of Margaret, I saw her pull dynamite out of her purse. I mean who does that?"

"I'll tell you who, criminals and mob bosses." Qwynn says as he writes this new information down. "We should definitely keep an eye on her."

"Well I'm already in an alliance with her." Elizabeth mentions.

"Good, keep it that way." Qwynn looks up from his notebook. "Now, you've got anything else?"

"Actually, no. That's it for now."

"Okay well, thanks for the info. I've gotta go get ready for the challenge." Qwynn leaves.

"Phew." She closes the door. "Wait, do I actually feel bad? Eh, I'm sure that feeling will go away."

Confessional: Carter

"Ugh, the last elimination was…inconvenient to say the least. I've got to get rid of Dante somehow, but without my laptop I'm limited with what I can do. I mean, I guess I could try to make him look unreliable, but without my computer I can't frame him for anything. I'll just have to use what I do have on hand.

Confessional over

Confessional: Dante

"Yo dawg, I gotta get everyone to believe me about Carter. You feel me? I just need a way to do it. I gotta get some solid proof. I just dunno how to do that…yet. But when I do, it's gonna be ballin'!" He crosses his arms over his chest and sticks his pointer and index finger from each hand out.

Margaret is in her room having a tea party. "Would ya like some sugar Sir Tuskerton?"

The walrus says nothing, but Margaret adds three sugar cubes to its cup anyway.

"Okay now dat everyone is ready, dat brings me to the subject of today's meeting. Last challenge, we lost."

The stuffed animals do nothing, but Margaret can tell that this statement has deeply upset them, as she has the ability to peer deep into their souls. Truly, Margaret is one with her stuffed animals.

"I know, I know, but mommy wasn't in any real danger of getting eliminated, although someone did vote for her, so now she has to find out who it was and get rid of them."

Again the stuffed animals, stoic as they are, do nothing.

"But anyway, mommy noticed that Deon was being more attentive during da challenge. I don't know why, but that seemed a little strange to me. It's almost like…" Just then, Laurie barges I'm on the scene by opening Margaret's door unannounced.

"Hey Mar…" she pauses as she realizes what's going on. "...oh, I'm sorry."

Margaret turns around. "No it's okay. I'm not embarrassed about it. Not anymore at least. Though I am a little ticked off. Ya could've knocked first."

"Oh okay then, I'll just leave." Laurie started to close the door.

"No, it's okay. What did ya want?"

"Oh, well I…" Laurie stutters.

Margaret gets slightly annoyed by this, so she says "Come on, I haven't got all day, so spit it out."

"Well I just…nevermind." She shuts the door and leaves.

Confessional: Laurie

"Well thanks to Sunny I guess I do have a little more confidence, but standing up to Margaret is still a no I guess." She sighs. "Margaret is really intimidating, and I just…I don't know!" She rubs her forehead. "What was I thinking?"

Confessional over

Confessional: Margaret

"Okay, Laurie has been a faithful servant to me, but I needa toughen 'er up a bit. She's a fighter, she's strong, but dis "um, uh" routine isn't goin' to cut it. I can't work with dis. So today durin' da challenge I'm gonna train 'er up."

Confessional: Rival

"Okay so last time I lost the closest thing I had to an all…friend, so I guess that means that I'm not going to last much longer." He sighs. "Whelp, the end is near, so I guess I better get ready for the…FINAL COUNTDOWN!" Just as Rival gets out his guitar, Chef opens the confessional door with his signature megaphone.

"I said everyone get to the elevator, that includes you, ya Trent knockoff, now move move move move!"

"Yessir!" Rival salutes Chef then gets up out of the confessional.

Confessional over

Cuts to everyone in the elevator. "Alright everyone, listen up! I have an announcement to make." Chef declares.

"Is it that Deon Blade is the most perfect man on the face of the Earth?" Laurie giggles as Deon interrupts Chef.

Chef sighs. "No, it's that from now on, there's four idols for y'all to worry about!"

Just then, Hayley appears in front of everyone to say "Yes, so be on the lookout." Hayley snaps her fingers to make images of the four idols appear in front of her. "Now, none of these are your traditional immunity idols, because that's boring. The first idol we're going to discuss is the team swap idol. It allows you to switch teams. You can use it any time, including at the elimination ceremony."

Confessional: Maria

"I need that idol, I have to get away from Liz! I need to find it!" She gets down on both knees and looks up into the sky as she throws her arms up into the air. "Oh thank you thank you thank you thank you" she exclaims before looking back at the camera. "Oh wait, that means I'll be on the same team as M…M…her. Hmmmmm…" she puts her left hand on her chin. "But then again, I don't want to deal with Liz anymore…but then again I don't want to have to put up with M…M…Margaret." She gulps. "Hmmmm…"

Confessional over

"What are those two?" Carter points at the other two. "I don't think I've seen those idols before."

"I was just about to get to those. This one here is called the wipeout idol. It's like the invincibility idol, but is less powerful. It only erases two votes. The final one is the vote swap idol. With this idol, you can switch votes with someone else, but be warned, because it also works the other way. You also get their votes, assuming they have any. So you need to be absolutely sure you need it before using it. Now, with all that out of the way," Hayley snaps her fingers to make the images disappear, "for today's challenge, we'll be going back to a time when things were much simpler."

Tyson scratches his head. "But like, didn't we already do a challenge that involved dinosaurs or something like that?"

"Not that simple" Hayley responds. "Everyone, welcome to the 1950's!" The elevator door opens up on the inside of a two car garage. Off to the left or right are assorted parts for building a monster truck. Everything seems to be there except for the engines and wheels.

Elizabeth steps out and says "The 1950's? Really? Then what are we doing here?"

"I dunno." Margaret said as she stepped out. "I kinda like it."

Liz steps out and says "So I'm guessing our next challenge is to build something."

"Yes actually." Chef responds. "For the first part of your challenge, your job is to finish building a vehicle for you guys to race in."

"Alright!" Margaret celebrates.

Confessional: Margaret

"Alright, dis challenge is what I was waiting for! Back home my uncle works for an auto body repair shop, and I know all about cars from him. Dis challenge should be a cakewalk for me."

Confessional over

"Oh, and you can find the rest of the parts outside." Chef yells at everyone. "Y'all have one hour!"

"I already know what I'm doing today!" Liz rubs her hands together and ducks offscreen.

/

Cuts to the Terrors working on their vehicle. "Um, does anyone know about cars?" Laurie asks her team.

"I do." Margaret raises her hand. "Now everyone follow my instructions." She takes over this project. "I'll work on da car. First, dis car needs an engine, so you two" she points at Dante and Deon. "Ya go get one. Ya three." She points at Carter, Rival and Elizabeth. "Dis car is also missing wheels. Ya can get them."

Right after Margaret says this but before they go their separate ways, Carter pulls Deon over. "Hey, can we switch partners?" He asks.

"But Dante and I are the two strongest people on the team."

"That's not true." Carter points at Elizabeth. "You see, I happen to know that Elizabeth over is an athlete. I mean, if her tracksuit is anything to goo off of."

Deon thinks for a second. "Hmmmm…true." Hey Elizabeth, wait up!"

/

Meanwhile over in the Bellhops corner, things weren't going as smoothly.

"I know nothing about cars." Phoebe states.

"Of course you don't, because you don't know nothing about anything." Libby responds.

"Oh, don't say that to her!" Regina shakes her finger at Libby.

"Yeah, stop bothering her!" Qwynn does the same thing.

"What? Oh, I'm sorry." Phoebe sighs.

"No, we weren't talking to Phoebe" Qwynn says.

"Yeah, we meant to say that to Libby." Regina answers.

"You guys don't know her like I do." Libby says.

"Okay, who here knows anything about cars?" Andrew asks his team.

"Yeah actually, I do." Franchesco answers. "Give me whatever with wheels, as I'm experienced with cars, oh and I can drive them too."

"Oh yeah, he taught me how to drive!" Sunny says.

"Ugh, don't remind me." Franchesco rubs his forehead.

"Why, what happened?" Andrew asks.

Sunny opens her mouth before Franchesco says "she almost got me killed."

Sunny turns to him and says "Hey, it wasn't that bad!"

"Wasn't that bad? You practically destroyed a mall before you hit that church! It costed your family millions and I had to stand in for the Jesus statue every Sunday until they rebuilt it, and that's just the beginning…" Sunny puts her hand over his mouth before he can finish.

"Let's just get started!" Sunny says as she's sweating.

Franchesco grabs her hand and removes it from his mouth. "Agreed. Sunny, you, Liz, and Maria go find an engine. The rest of you go get the wheels."

Everyone looked around. "Um, Liz and Maria aren't here." Andrew says to the bodyguard.

"What? Ugh." Franchesco takes a head count. "1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6…oh crap."

"Don't worry." Sunny pats Franchesco on the back. "Andrew can go with me."

Franchesco sighs and rubs his forehead. "I was afraid you were going to say that.

/

After a quick commercial break, the scene shifts back to the Terrors working on their vehicle, where Margaret is talking to Laurie as she works on the car.

"Okay so about that little incident earlier today…"

"Yeah" Laurie puts her hand on her head, "I'd rather forget about it."

"Look, ya need ta toughen up." She says bluntly.

"Yeah but I don't know…"

"Dat's you first problem. Ya need to be more sure of yourself. Now hand me dat wrench." She points at a wrench.

"Um, yes ma'am."

"Don't Um yes ma'am me!" Margaret shakes her finger at Laurie. "Just Yes ma'am. Now, let's try dis again!"

Confessional: Laurie

"Wait, is she…trying to help me? But I thought she…and then…" Laurie sighs and rubs her head. "This is all just so confusing to me!"

Meanwhile, Rival and Elizabeth were walking down a street corner looking for wheels when the former decides to break the silence with a "So…you seem awfully quiet."

"Yeah, what about it?" She says rather quickly.

"Well, this is a far cry from the last time we talked." He says in response.

"Yeah, so?" she asks rather nervously.

"This from the girl who flirted with me with ease?"

Elizabeth sighs then says "Look, what are you trying to get at?"

A concerned Rival asks her "Is there anything wrong?"

"No." Elizabeth tries to hide her face in her track suit.

"Look, I'm not the smartest man in the world, but even I can tell when you're trying to hide something."

Elizabeth sighs. "Oh, alright, it's just that…"

Before Elizabeth can tell Rival what's going on, Deon catches up to them and interrupts her by saying "Hey you jabronies, what's up?"

A slightly annoyed Rival says "Hey, what are you doing here? I thought you were supposed to be with Dante."

"Eh, the perfect man decided that he had enough of that dude and decided to tag along with you." Deon responds.

"Uh huh, is that so?" Elizabeth asks, not buying it one bit.

"Yeah, you got a problem with that?" Deon asks her.

Elizabeth and Rival both stare at each other. "Okay, I think there's definitely something going on here" he whispers in her ear.

"Definitely, those two seem to always get paired up and Deon has never had any problems with it before" Elizabeth whispers back.

"Yeah, I don't know why he would just up and abandon him like that." Rival whispers in her ear.

"Hmmmmm…I think that the common denominator here is Carter. I think he may have something to do with it."

"Huh, maybe." The musician strokes his chin. "But then again, Dante did want Carter gone last round."

"He did?" The gymnast's pupils grow.

"Yeah, something about magic or something, I don't know."

"So wait, Carter is a magician?" Elizabeth asks, shocked. "What does that have to do with anything?"

"I don't know, it sounded like lies to me. Anywho, that's why I voted for him."

Just then, Deon butts in by saying "Hey, are you two jabronies done yet?"

"WAH!" Rival jumps up, surprised.

"What the heck man?" An annoyed Elizabeth asks him.

"The perfect man found some wheels while you two were chatting." Deon points at a nightclub.

"Okay, but how are we supposed to get them all?" Rival questions.

"Yeah, and how do you know that they're there?" Elizabeth asks.

Deon answers Elizabeth's question first with a "Hello, this place is literally called Rob's Wheels "

Elizabeth and Rival look up to see the sign above the place.

"That's an…oddly specific name for a nightclub." Elizabeth is dumbfounded as she sees that Deon is right.

Deon points at Rival and says "Don't worry, your boy has it covered." Deon runs up to the bouncer.

"I'm going to need to see an ID" the bouncer says to Deon.

"I'm Deon Blade, I don't need an ID!" Deon shouts. "My presence alone should be enough to make you step out of the way. Now move aside!"

"No, you move aside!" The bouncer grabs Deon, but he puts the guy in a chokehold and slams him down to the ground.

"Don't you mess with Deon Blade!" Deon shouted.

"Noted" the bouncer says before passing out.

"That's how I roll!" Deon shouts before getting up. He goes into the club and he immediately finds the tires he's looking for. He comes out of the club carrying all four tires with his arms, to which both Rival's and Elizabeth's jaws drop.

/

Meanwhile, Carter and Dante were alone surrounded by cars in a drive in movie theater where the latter was talking the former's ear off.

"Yo homie, I am so on to you dawg!" Dante yells at Carter, who just ignores him. "Bro, aren't you even worried, dawg?"

Carter turns around. "No" he says bluntly.

"Speaking of which, why are you here with me?" Dante stares Carter straight in the eyes. "Didn't I get paired up with Deon, bro?"

"Deon wanted to go with the others." Carter lies.

"Seriously bro?" Dante stares at Carter, confused.

Carter turns to Dante. "Look, it doesn't matter. Can you just help me?"

"Me help you? You've gotta be kidding bro!" Dante folds his arms.

"Look, let me put it this way, I know that you know that I'm good with computers, and this whole place is run by one big computer." Carter explains.

"It is?" Dante questions his words.

Carter facepalms himself. "Yes, and what do you think the odds are that I hack into it?"

"Hmmm…" Dante honestly has some trouble with this. "I don't know, but what does that have to do with anything?"

Carter sighs. "Look, don't tell anyone about what you know about me or I'll hack into Hayley to get you out." He says bluntly.

At this, Dante starts sweating. "Um, okay. I'll do whatever you say homie!"

Confessional: Carter

"Look, I know my mouth just wrote a check that my hands can't cash yet, but once I do get my laptop, or a laptop, or something, I fully intend to get that idiot out before he can say anything. I mostly just made that "promise" just to buy me some time."

Confessional over

"Good, now get the engine for me!" Carter commands Dante.

"What?" Dante pauses. "But where are we going to get an engine?"

"Hello, we're surrounded by cars!" Carter snaps back at him.

"Oh yeah, right." Dante immediately knocks on the window of the nearest car to him. The person opens it.

"Hello?" The guy says.

Dante grabs the guy by the shirt collar and yells "Now you listen here and you listen good" into his face. "I know what you're thinking! Did he fire six shots, or only five?"

"I uh…" the guy is caught off guard by this.

Dante continues. "Well to tell you the truth, in all this excitement, I kind of lost track of myself homie!"

"Dante, not like that." Carter butts in.

"Yo dawg just lemme finish!" Dante turns back to the poor man and raises his fist. "Now, seeing as this is a 44 caliber fist and I could give you a black eye, you have to ask yourself one question."

The man gulps before asking "Oh yeah, and what is it?"

"Do I feel lucky?" Dante whispers in his ear.

The guy starts sweating.

"Well, do you, dawg?" Dante pressured.

"Look man, what do you want?" The guy shouts.

"Oh nothing, just your engine!" Dante answers.

"Okay, fine! I'll walk home! Just get away from me, you creep!"

Dante turns back to Carter and says "See, I told you that I've got it homie!"

Carter is dumbfounded when he says "I'll admit, I didn't think that would work."

Confessional: Carter

"Hmmmm, maybe that little twerp is more useful than I thought."

As Phoebe, Regina, Tyson, and Qwynn were looking for wheels for their team, the fashionista and the writer try to help Phoebe.

"Okay I think I know a little bit about cars" Phoebe says.

"But like, aren't we looking for wheels?" Tyson scratches his head, confused.

"Thank you, I was just about to say that!" Libby says to Tyson.

"Um…you're welcome" he says, seriously weirded out.

"Oh yeah, you're right." Phoebe hangs her head down in shame.

"Okay, I've had enough of this." Regina puts her hands on Phoebe's shoulders. "You are a smart girl."

"Yeah, and you can do whatever you set your mind to." Qwynn encourages her.

"No, she can't!" Libby tells them.

Confessional: Qwynn

"Gah!" He exclaims. "This is so maddening! I mean, I know that schizophrenia means that she has this voice inside her head, which apparently is this Libby, but this is ridiculous! Okay Qwynn, you just need to calm down."

Confessional over

Qwynn pulls Regina over and tells her "I'm not sure that this is working."

"This has to work!" Regina says. "She needs to get better, and she needs to do it now!"

"Woah woah woah woah, I understand you want to help her, but I don't think anything we try will work immediately." The writer says to the fashionista.

"Oh yeah, and why can't it?"

Qwynn sighs. "Do you know anything about schizophrenia?"

"I know that it's an illness." She blinks at him before saying "that's about it."

Qwynn facepalms himself. "Well, there's a bit more to it than that, but just," he sighs, "since positive reinforcement isn't working, let's try to calm her down."

"Oh, alright." Regina shrugs. Regina and Qwynn turn back to Phoebe, only to find that she isn't there.

"Where'd she go?" Qwynn exclaimed.

"I don't know." Regina looks around, but can't find her either. "She was here a second ago."

Just then, Libby can be seen fighting with some greasers next to a row of bikes. "Give me your tires!" Libby says, before switching back over to Phoebe.

"Um, if you don't mind, that is!" Phoebe says shyly.

"Never" one of them answers before attempting to punch her. As Phoebe gets scared, Libby takes over and blocks the punch, then proceeds to twist his arm.

"Ahh!" The guy screams and lets go.

Libby gets out her hat and a stick of gum and says "Anyone else wanna piece of me?"

The greasers pile on her, but she manages to beat them all up. "There, that's all of them!"

The others just look at her, astounded.

"What are you looking at?" She glares. "Aren't you going to help me with these?"

"Um…I guess." Qwynn goes over to help her.

"Good, you can take this one." Libby takes a front wheel off of one of the bikes and throws it at Qwynn.

"Look out!" Qwynn pushes Regina out of the way, leaving Tyson to get hit by it.

Tyson points his finger up in the air and says "I'm okay!"

"You think we should tell her that these aren't the right sized wheels?" Qwynn whispers to Regina.

"I think we should let it go." Regina whispered back.

Meanwhile, Andrew and Sunny were off on their search for the engine, but for whatever reason, they were in a malt shop sitting at a table.

"So…" Andrew tries to make small talk with Sunny, but doesn't know what to say.

"So, about that pillow earlier…" Sunny says sheepishly, like she's trying to hide something.

"Yeah, about that…" he rubs his head awkwardly.

"Don't ever mention it again!" She raises her voice.

Andrew perks up as this seems to pique his interest. "Oh yeah, and why's that?"

"Um, because…can we change the subject?"

"Is it because it's a body pillow?" He guesses.

Sunny's face immediately turns red with embarrassment. "Wha…What? No! Why would you think that?"

Andrew smirks. "Because I have tons of them, but unlike you, I'm good at hiding them in my room!"

"What? Oh, so you don't think it's weird?" Sunny asks nervously, as her face is still bright red.

"No, not at all!" Andrew exclaims.

"Oh, phew!" Sunny breathes a sigh of relief as her face goes back to its normal color. "That's a relief."

"Let me guess, it's of that babysitter you had a crush on?" Andrew asks the idol.

"What?" Her face turns bright red again. "How did you know?"

"Did you forget about the comedy challenge?" Andrew says back.

"Oh yeah, riiiiiiiight." Sunny nervously grins before saying. "Yeah, about that, I don't know if I told you this already, but sorry for acting out your secret like I did. I may have went a little overboard on that."

"Oh, it's okay." Andrew shrugs it off. "That's water under the bridge."

"Oh, really? Well that's a relief." Sunny breathes a sigh of relief.

Just then, a waitress interrupts them. "Would ya like to order a malt?" She says in the most monotone voice ever.

"Oh yeah, sure." Andrew says before going back to looking at Sunny. "You want anything?" He asks her.

"Oh yeah, I just want a vanilla malt." Sunny answers.

"Okay, whatever." The waitress writes this down and then leaves.

Andrew continues to stare at Sunny for a few more seconds before snapping out of it and saying "Wait, why are we here?"

After Andrew says this, Sunny snaps out of it as well before saying "What? Oh, I don't know. Weren't we looking for an engine?"

"What?" Andrew looks at the window where luckily, there are a lot of cars in the parking lot. "Oh yeah, riiiiiiiight. We saw all these cars here then we decided to come in here."

Sunny blushes. "Oh, then what should we do?"

"Well," Andrew strokes his neckbeard, "we can still get the engine, but we could still finish our malts too."

Just then, the waitress comes up to their table and says "Here's your order" before giving it to them and leaving.

Confessional: Sunny

"What just happened there? I don't remember agreeing to go inside there. I must've been thinking about what Laurie said last round and it must've slipped my mind that we were looking for an engine."

Liz and Maria were already outside of the junkyard and walking down a street. "So, what are we doing here?" Maria asks worriedly as she was closely following Liz behind her.

"I need your help to find parts." Liz responds.

Maria clams up. "F…Finding p…parts? For what? I mean…aren't we supposed to be looking for car parts at the junkyard?" She asks.

"Silly!" Liz laughs.

Maria nervously laughs along with her before asking "What's so funny?"

"Oh" Liz snorts, "we're not looking for car parts, we're looking for parts to help us sabotage the other team!"

Maria stops and asks "Seriously?"

Liz's face goes from happy to serious right after Maria says that, responding "Seriously."

"Oh…okay. You sure that's not all?"

Liz turns to and points her finger at Maria. "You remember our conversation earlier today?"

"Well I…" Maria stutters.

"I said do you remember our conversation earlier today?" Liz says in a louder tone.

Maria sighs. "Yes, I do."

"Well if you tell anyone about what was said I will target you any way. You hear me?"

"Um…yes Liz" Maria says nervously.

"I said did you hear me?" Liz speaks up.

"Yes!" Maria shouts.

"Good. I'll be completely honest with you though, you're probably the easiest to target, because you're dead weight. You've done nothing to help this team and you have no allies besides Qwynn. Face it, your only option is to stick with me. You've got it?"

"I, um…" she stammers.

"I said do you got it?" Liz raises her voice.

"Yes" Maria finally says, "I've got it!"

"Good." Liz pulls off of her, and dusts herself off. "Now, let's go look for parts."

Confessional: Maria

She's panicking, as she is holding her head and shaking. She also pants heavily before finally looking at the camera and saying "Okay, I think I've decided what I'm going to do." She takes a deep breath before continuing, "I'm definitely going to go after that team swap idol I've got to get out of here. Liz is right, I'm not a good fit on this team." She thinks about it for a second. "Wait, the other team has Margaret on it. But then again, I can't stay on this team. But then again, maybe if I give Liz the idol and she uses it, all of my problems will be gone. But then again, what if she knows that I know that and she's just using me because of that. But then again, what if she knows that I know…" The confessional is fast forwarded because she basically just keeps saying the same thing over and over. "...but then again…wait, what was the point I was trying to make?" She stares at the camera, confused for a second. "Oh yeah, I need that idol."

"Okay, sure. What about here?" Maria opens up a door to a diner. Inside, there is a scene playing out of Elvis yelling at a waitress.

"What do you mean you don't know who I am?" He asks her.

"Look sir, this is a diner, you are expected to pay for your meal." She responds bluntly.

"But I'm Elvis! Shouldn't I get a free meal?" He begs.

She sighs. "Look sir, I may have been created by a super computer, but even I know that the real Elvis died years ago.

Elvis gets down on to his knees and says "But…but…but…but…you're not real, I'd just be wasting my money. Uh huh uh huh!"

Cuts to the outside of the diner, where Elvis can be seen breaking the window, which he was tossed into.

"What's he doing here?" Maria questions. "Wasn't he a part of the last challenge?"

"Why don't you go and ask him?" Liz says.

"Me?"

Liz says before saying "Yes you" and pushing Maria towards the Elvis impersonator.

"Um, excuse me sir…" Maria asks nervously.

Elvis turns his head up to Maria before saying "Ugh, what do you want lil lady?"

"...um, what exactly are you doing here? I mean weren't you a part of the last challenge?" She questions him.

"Yeah, but Hayley called all three of us here to make the course a little more difficult."

Liz immediately lights up at this response, you can just see the sparkle in her eye. "Ask him to rig the challenge for us" she whispers in Maria's ear.

"What, why?" Maria says in response.

"To help us win, duh!" Liz says back.

"Um" Maria gulps, "okay" she says before turning back to Elvis and saying "Um, sir…could you maybe, possibly help us?"

"Why sure thing lil lady, but with what?"

Liz facepalms herself at this. She pushes Maria out of the way before saying "Look, either you rig the challenge for us or you'll get it!"

"Um…get what exactly." Elvis says, not knowing what's going on.

"This!" Liz raises her fist up at him.

"Oh," Elvis finally catches on, "you mean like rig the challenge for ya. No can do that lil' lady. That's against the rules."

Liz grabs Elvis by his shirt collar and says "Listen you, you're just an intern, and I am a scientist, and I could use another test subject, so you either help us out or you get to try the new formulas that I've been working on!"

"Liz!" Maria grabs her.

"What?" Liz says, annoyed.

"Stop it!" Maria tells Liz.

"No!" Liz shouts.

The two girls keep fighting until a shadowy figure arrives. "Oh mwy, wooks wike yowu're outlet of bwounds!" The figure laughs then grabs the girls and whisks them away.

The teams made it back to their cars. Deon was showing Rival and Elizabeth up by dropping his two wheels off by literally dropping them off.

"Watch out!" Laurie says as she sees the wheels heading right towards her and Margaret.

"Huh?" Margaret looked up.

"I'll save you!" Laurie pushes Margaret out of the way before the wheels hit them.

"Oh whoops, sorry…" Deon stops himself just in time before he says Laurie's name.

"Ya apologized?" Margaret asked Deon.

A worried Deon looked over at Laurie. Knowing that he only did it because she was there, Laurie glanced back at him, giving him an expression that tells him to go ahead. Deon nods before saying "Yeah. You got a problem with that?"

Margaret likes his confidence, so she says "No. In fact, dat was…nice of ya. Thank ya."

Confessional: Margaret

"Is it just me or does Deon seem more…polite than usual. Hmmmm…maybe I misjudged him. Maybe he's not just some stupid idiot wrestler after all."

Confessional: Laurie

"Woof, what was that all about? I was absent from the challenge last time so I don't know what happened, but man, I saw that look in Margaret's eyes, that was the same look that I had when I fell in love with Deon. Is she…thinking about stealing him from me?" She sighs. "She probably is. Oh well, the romance was nice while it lasted."

Confessional over

Confessional: Deon

"Did Margaret just thank me?" He rubs his forehead with his left hand. "Oh man…I mean the perfect man is not worried about potential relationship drama. Even if he knows that he likes one more than the other, and doesn't know how to let the other one down nicely. HMPH! No, not at all!"

Meanwhile, as the Bellhops were returning with their parts, Andrew and Sunny seemed to be getting along, much to Franchesco's annoyance.

"So…" Andrew tried to keep his composure as he was trying to lift the engine. "What do you like to do in your spare time? I mean besides…you know."

"Well, when I'm not on tour, I actually…well you see…" she sighs.

"Go…on" Andrew said as he was just about to drop the engine on his foot if she didn't say something.

"Well actually…I have a membership to this fight club, okay?"

"Oh really, you're a fighter?" Just then, Andrew dropped the engine on his foot. "Yeeeeeeeeooooooooooouuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuucccccccchhhhhh!" He screams.

"Oh my gosh, are you okay?" Sunny removes the engine from his foot.

"Yes" he says before falling to the ground.

"Hey Franchesco, could you help me carry this?" She asks her bodyguard, who gets out from under the car, surveys the situation, then immediately sighs.

Just then, Libby and the gang arrived on the scene, she was forcing everyone else to carry these huge tires on their backs. "Come on, you can go faster! Move! Move! Move! Move!" She shouts before Phoebe takes back control.

"Um…if you don't mind." Phoebe giggles nervously. "You guys can slow down if you want." She says before Libby takes over again.

"No, no, no, no, go faster I tell you! Faster!" Libby yells at her group.

Tyson gathers up all the strength he can muster before yelling out "As you say, fellow team member!" And speeding past everyone else to reach his team's vehicle first.

"You know, this is starting to get annoying!" Regina complained to Qwynn, who was right next to her.

"I agree" the writer said, "but there's nothing we can do about it right now." He sighs.

"I beg to differ." Regina says before tripping on Andrew, dropping the wheel along the way.

"Ouch!" He exclaims.

"Oh I'm sorry, I didn't see you there sweetie." The Fashionista apologizes before getting up then helping him up. "There you go dear, are you okay?" She asks.

"Yeah, I'm fine. I just need to walk it off." He takes one step before we hear a cracking sound. "Oh no. I'm going down" Andrew says before falling over again.

"Don't worry, I've got you." Regina gladly helps him up for a second time.

Finally, Qwynn comes in and puts his wheel down. He looks around before asking "Hey, where's Maria and Liz?"

"Huh?" Franchesco said as he along with Sunny was just putting the engine down. He turns to Qwynn before saying "Oh, I dunno, haven't seen them since the start of the challenge."

Speaking of Liz and Maria, they were already inside Courage's lair, of which Courage had taken them to. "Welcome two mwy hwmlbe wair!" Courage introduced them to their home.

"Could you please speak normally?" An annoyed Liz asked.

"Wat? I twotally am spweaking nowmal. You're thwe wun tawlking fuwnny!" Courage responded.

Liz put her head down and rubbed her forehead. "You've gotta be kidding me."

Maria looks around and notices an easel on a stand. On the easel is several demented loooking drawings. "Um," she gulps, "what is that?"

"Oh, that's mwy cweative station. U see, I cweated a mwanga. I call it "Couwage!"

"Really creative name" Liz says as she rolls her eyes.

"U wanna swee it?"

"I, um…" Maria stammers.

"No, take us out of here you dick!" Liz yells at Courage.

"Two wate!" Courage grabbed both of the girls and took them to their work station.

The two girls see all the drawings, most of which have just different versions of former President of the United States, Barack Obama.

"You've gotta be kidding me" Liz says.

"What is this?" Maria asks.

"Why, I just told u silly! It's mwy mwanga!"

"I know but, yeesh." Maria gagged. "Can't you draw anything that's not…that."

"Why suwre I cwan. Jwust watch!" Courage grabs their pencil and draws what appears to be a caracture of Maria. "Thwis is u!"

This gets Maria's attention, causing her to gulp. Liz meanwhile rolls her eyes for just about the dozenth time.

Courage continues, drawing a version of theirself. "Awnd thwis is mwe!"

"Uh huh" Maria says nervously.

Just then, Courage draws a knife in their hands. "U're nwext! MWAHAHAHAHAHA!" Courage laughs.

At this, Maria faints, to which Liz turns to her and sighs.

Confessional: Liz

"Look, I don't know what her deal is, but my gut instinct is that she's scared for her life, which is why she's on here in the first place. She's running from something…or maybe someone, plain and simple. I just don't know who or what just quite yet. Hmmmmmmmm…" she gets into a thinking pose.

We skip ahead to where the Terrors are working on their car, or more accurately, Margaret was telling them what to do.

Margaret was pacing in front of her teammates like a drill sergeant when she says "Alright, I wanna have a well oiled machine here, so I don't wanna see any mistakes!" She then turns to her team and says "Yagoddit?"

"Yes ma'am!" Everyone replied.

"Good! Now Deon and Laurie, you're da strongest people here, so ya get ta help me with da engine." Deon and Laurie both look at each other awkwardly and groan, to which Margaret takes notice of. "Yagodda problem with dat?"

Laurie gulps. "Um, no ma'am!" She says nervously.

"Good!" Margaret turns to Deon and says "Whaddabout ya?"

Deon rolls his eyes before saying "No ma'am."

"Good!" Margaret turns to Rival and Elizabeth.

Deon calls Margaret a "jabroni" under his breath, to which Margaret doesn't hear, but Laurie does and snickers at it before they hold hands together.

"Alright ya two, want ya working on da wheels. Any complaints?"

"No ma'am, I mean, yes ma'am," Rival rubs his forehead, "I mean whatever you want me to say ma'am!"

Margaret sighs. "We really gotta work on yer people skills" she says before turning to Elizabeth and saying "Whaddabout ya?"

"No ma'am! No complaints here!" Elizabeth salutes Margaret.

"Good!" Margaret says before turning to Carter and Dante. "Now as fer ya two, ya can go work on da paint job."

"Yes ma'am!" Carter complied with her.

"Good, and whaddabout ya?" She points at Dante.

He gulps before saying "Y…yes ma'am!" Carter notices his nervousness.

"Good, now get to it!" Margaret shouts.

Confessional: Carter

"Great! It's good to know that twerp is scared of me. I've got him wrapped around my finger!"

Meanwhile, Franchesco was being much more laid back with his team.

"Alright, you guys can do whatever you want" the bodyguard said.

"Okay then," Sunny said, "I'll go with Andrew."

Right after she said that, Franchesco put his hand on her shoulder and said "Except for you. I have a special job for you."

"Oh really? What is it?"

Cuts to Franchesco working underneath the car. Sunny is just standing right there watching him, bored out of her mind.

"This isn't what I quite had in mind when you said that you had a "special job" for me." She puts her head down.

Franchesco completely ignores her words, only asking her "Hey, could I have that wrench over there?" He sticks his hand out.

"Sure" Sunny says before grabbing the wrench and putting it in his hand.

"Thanks" he says before going back to working on the car.

"You're welcome." She sighs.

/

The Terrors' car was starting to take shape as the groups were doing their jobs. However, there was some tension bubbling to the surface.

"What are we going to do about her?" Deon whispered in Laurie's ear.

"Look, I don't think there's much we can do right now. I mean, I don't want to upset her." Laurie whispered back in Deon's ear.

Deon sighs. "I understand that, but..."

"Whaddare you two talking about?" Margaret asks as she hovers over them.

They both stare at her, bewildered. "Nothing" they both say at the same time, blinking immediately after.

"Eh, I guess it doesn't matta. Just keep doin' what yer doin'."

She steps away, to which Deon and Laurie both look at each other and say "phew" as she leaves, but unbeknownst to them, Margaret listens to them from behind.

"That was close." Laurie says.

"You think she bought it?" Deon asks.

"Knowing Margaret, no." Laurie bluntly replied.

Confessional: Margaret

"Hmmmm…there's definitely something going on between dose two. I dunno what just quite yet, but I'll look inta it."

"So, about what happened earlier…" Rival asked Elizabeth.

Elizabeth raised an eyebrow and asked him "What do you mean?" She blinked both of her eyes, indicating that their conversation from before may have slipped her mind.

"Before Deon interrupted us," he reminded her. "You were saying?"

"Look…I just don't wanna talk about it." Elizabeth says sheepishly to the musician.

"Well okay, but if you need someone to talk to, I would listen." Rival tells her.

Just then, Margaret comes up behind them and asks them "Whaddare ya two doin'?"

A look of dread can be seen on Elizabeth's face as she answers "Um…we're just…"

"We're just putting in these wheels, just like you asked for." Rival finishes her sentence for her, to which Margaret smiles at him.

"Good, I always like to see a well oiled machine" she says before walking away.

Elizabeth looks at him. "Thanks for the save." She thanked him.

"Don't mention it. Hey by chance, did what we were talking about have anything to do with Margaret?"

Elizabeth immediately puts down her wrench and goes silent. She sighs before finally saying "Yes." She rubs her forehead. "Look, it's just that last round, she kinda forced me to make a difficult decision, and I think I made the wrong choice."

"Oh, what was it?"

She turns to him and bluntly tells him "I was the one vote for Margaret last time."

"Oh. I…" Rival pauses, as he can't quite find the right words for the situation.

"No it's okay." She sighs. "I just don't know what to do."

"W…Well, I'll be completely honest," Rival scratches his head, "I don't know either, but maybe you should break away from Margaret."

Elizabeth is shocked by his words. "What? I can't do that! She'll get rid of me, just like that!"

"Well, I don't know what else to tell you. If you really are bothered by this, then maybe it's best just to move on. Like I did when…Like I did when…"

"What?" Elizabeth put her hands on her hips.

"Um…nevermind." Rival stopped himself. "Just…don't do what I did."

Elizabeth raised an eyebrow. "What did you do?" She asks.

"Nothing, let's just…get back to work." Rival finally says.

"Alright." Elizabeth agrees.

Confessional: Elizabeth

"You know, as much as I have on my plate, maybe this could be another secret that I can give to Qwynn. Yeah that's it. I just need something to take my mind off of this, and maybe getting this juicy secret from him is just what I need." She gets a shit eating grin on her face as she rubs her hands together.

Carter and Dante were working on the paint job, however the former was using regular paint while the latter was using a can of spray paint.

Carter looked over at Dante and asked him "What in the world are you doing?"

"I'm drawing gang symbols, homie!" Dante replied back.

Carter sighed. "Could you be any less annoying?"

"Yo dawg I'm just making this thing look cooler!"

"No, that's not cool." Carter puts his hand onto his forehead in shame. "It's atrocious. Please get rid of them."

"Yo dawg, why you be hatin' homie?" Dante says as he aggressively snaps in Carter's face.

"Because, would you want to drive in a car that looks like this?" Zoom out and we can see Dante's "work" as the car is covered in silly looking graffiti.

"Yeah dawg, totally! This car looks tight!" Dante excitedly exclaims, causing Carter to shake his head and facepalm.

"I should've seen that coming." Just then, Margaret walks up behind Carter.

"What is dis?" She asks, rather annoyed.

Carter turned to her and says "Don't look at me, I had nothing to do with it."

"Now dat, I can believe." She turns her attention to Dante. "You idiot, dis looks ridiculous."

"But I…" Dante tries to explain himself.

"No buts. Get rid of it now!" She commands him.

"No!" Dante says.

"What did ya say?" She says in the most intimidating way ever.

Dante looks over at Carter, who also has a look of disapproval on his face. He finally gulps before saying "Um…nothing. I'll get to work on erasing it right now d…dawg." Dante picks up a sponge and starts scrubbing the graffiti off.

Confessional: Dante

"Yo dawg, I think it might be tougher to convince everybody than I originally thought man, and it sucks!" He rubs his forehead. "Ugh, I might need to dig deep. What I need is an alliance, but the last two times I tried it ended horribly for me homie." He sighs before taking a few deep breaths and saying "You know what, third time's the charm! I can do this dawg, I can do this. Just don't let them get to y'all homie!"

Meanwhile, the Bellhops were already working on their car.

Sunny is standing next to the car, which Franchesco is working on. "Can I…"

"No" Franchesco responds before she has a chance to finish.

Sunny tries again. "But…"

"No" he just says.

"But what if…"

"No"

"Okay, but can I…"

"No"

"But Franny…"

Franchesco gets out from under the car. "Look, the thing is that I'm busy now, also I can't say that I trust you here with this challenge."

"But why not?" Sunny asked.

"Because it's just…look, I know you, and you know nothing about cars, and…"

"Yes, but why can't I do anything?"

"I never said that."

"Oh yeah, well your actions say otherwise," Sunny folds her arms, "and you know, actions speak louder than words."

"But Sonia…" Franchesco uses Sunny's real name.

She cuts him off by saying "Don't but Sonia me mister! I just want to know what is this about?"

"Sunny, it's just…" he sighs, "honestly, you know nothing about cars. That's it!"

"Oh yeah, then why can't I help out in a different way, like maybe oh I don't know, painting it?"

"That's actually…not a bad idea. You can go do that if you want."

"Okay, great!" Sunny goes to help with the paint job, leaving Franchesco all alone.

"Phew." Franchesco wipes the sweat off of his forehead. "That could've ended worse."

Sunny walked past Regina and Qwynn, who were having a chat with Libby.

"Look, no one told me that wheels had to be that big!" Libby angrily responded.

"Yes, but Chef said that we're building monster trucks, not motorcycles!" Qwynn yelled back at her.

"Well then, why did you go along with me then?" Libby questions.

"Because, you were forcing us to!" Regina said.

"Yeah, I wanted to say something, but…" Qwynn pauses.

"But what?" Libby folds her arms.

Qwynn motions to Regina and together they huddle up. "You think we should tell her that she's being too bossy, or should we just take the hat off of her?" Qwynn suggests.

"I think we should do something about this, and right now!" Regina said bluntly. "This has to stop!"

"I get what you're saying, really I do," Qwynn sighs, "but this is a pretty delicate situation as is, and trying to solve it now will likely just get us into even more trouble."

"But we need to help her." Regina reminds him.

"I agree, but this isn't something that we can fix over night." Qwynn reminds her.

"Oh yeah, and why not?" Regina questions.

Qwynn huffs before saying "I'm no medical expert, but you can't cure schizophrenia in just one day."

"Oh yeah, well watch this!" Regina breaks away from the huddle and turns to Libby, but she's nowhere in sight. "Um, where'd she go?" Regina asks Tyson.

Tyson, who was already putting the wheels in, turns around and answers "Um, I dunno. I wasn't paying attention."

Meanwhile, Libby has already caught up with Andrew and Sunny, who are already working on the paint job. "Hey guys" she says as she walks into the frame.

Sunny looks over and says "Oh hey Phoebe! How are you doing?" She greets her politely.

"I am not Phoebe!" Libby snapped back angrily at her.

"Um…okay." Sunny stares back at her quizzically.

"Psst, is she taking crazy pills?" Andrew whispers in Sunny's ear.

"Honestly, I don't know what her deal is. We should try to calm her down." Sunny whispers back in Andrew's ear before turning back to Libby. "Now, I've seen you like this before, and I think that it has to do with the fact that you're stressed."

Confessional: Libby

She's breaking down in laughter. "Oh, the irony of that comment!" She says as she wipes a tear from her eye. She laughs some more, before eventually falling off the toilet.

Confessional over

"Why don't we try some breathing exercises?" Sunny suggests, to which Libby just slaps her in the face.

"You can try them if you want to. I'm just not feeling it." Libby says as she examines her own fingernails.

"Um…" Sunny takes a few steps back before Andrew steps in.

"Hey" he yells at her as she files her nails, "you can't do that to her!"

Libby just blatantly ignores him, as she just asks him "Are you done yet?"

"No I'm not, you can't go around treating people like that!" Andrew yells at Libby, who just nonchalantly ignores him in response. Sunny pulls him aside.

"Look, I've dealt with her before, and she seemed to change when she put that hat on." Sunny whispered in his ear.

"So we should take that hat off?" Andrew whispered back.

"Already on it." Sunny breaks away from Andrew and takes off her hat.

"Hey, give that back!" Libby swipes it back from her and puts it back on her head.

"What do we do now?" Andrew asks.

Sunny sighs before saying "Honestly…I don't know. I thought that would work."

"Are you two done yet?" Libby asked.

Andrew and Sunny both shoot angry glares back at her.

"Look, if you two aren't going to get up off your asses and paint this thing, I'll just do it by myself." Libby grabs the bucket of red paint and just tosses the contents on to the car.

"What are you doing?" An annoyed Andrew asks.

"What does it look like I'm doing? I'm…" before Libby can finish, Phoebe tries to take over and remove the hat from her head, but Libby fights back by using her left hand to grab the right hand. "Ah hah! I've got you!"

"No, you don't!" As Phoebe continues arm wrestling with Libby, Andrew and Sunny just stand there shocked at what they're witnessing, and aren't quite sure what to do with her.

Finally, Sunny steps in. Grabbing Libby, she says "What is going on? Why are you acting like this?"

"You stay out of it!" Libby yells before pushing Sunny to the ground.

"I'm sorry!" Phoebe apologizes to Sunny before Andrew steps in once again.

"Hey, you stop it!" He yells.

"You stay out of it too!" Libby tries to push him away too before Regina and Qwynn come up from behind Libby and they both grab her.

"Phoebe!" Regina yells at her. "You need to stop it right now!"

"Yeah, you need to calm down!" Qwynn commands the girl.

Andrew pushes Libby back, causing her to hit her back against the truck, and for her hat to fall off. As soon as she looks up, Phoebe has a regretful look on her face.

"Oh, I'm so sorry." Phoebe tears up.

"It's okay." Sunny says.

"Yeah, we can help you." Regina says.

"Let's just come on." Qwynn helped Phoebe up.

"Um, what just happened?" Andrew asks, to which Regina and Qwynn scowl at him. "What?" He questions.

Confessional: Sunny

"Hmmmmmmmmm…" she thinks. "There's definitely something strange going on with Phoebe. I can't quite put my finger on it just yet, but I know that wasn't her acting out. I think it has something to do with that hat because back in the Vegas challenge, she was stressed, but she didn't start acting more aggressive until Qwynn put that hat on her. I don't want to poke and prod her for information, so I guess I'll just leave it alone for now, and let the truth come out when it comes out."

Later, the teams are busy working on their vehicles when suddenly Chef walks into the frame. "Alright, time's up!" He yells.

By now, both teams had their trucks finished. You could see that the Towering Terrors had the better truck, as it seemed to be more well built. It was dark blue and green and had an image of a dragon's face on the front, and the wheels seemed fit for a normal monster truck.

Carter turned to Margaret and said "I painted everything to your exact specifications. Oh, and I made sure that the little rat erased what he had done."

"Yes, ya did a good job." She says back.

The Bellhops truck on the other hand looked a little more sloppy. It was red but thanks to Libby, the paint job was lacking a bit. It looked like what they were going for was a red truck with flames on the side, but thanks to the mess, it kinda resembled a garden on fire. Oh, and the wheels were obviously not the right size. It looked so bad that Qwynn and Andrew facepalmed themselves.

"I'm sorry for what happened." Phoebe apologized to her teammates.

"We know you are" Regina whispered in Phoebe's ear, "but let's just do our best."

"Here." Phoebe reached into her hoodie pocket and gave Regina her hat. "Take this."

Regina gave her a worried look before asking her "Are you sure?"

Phoebe closed her eyes and took a deep breath before confidently saying "Yes, this thing has only caused trouble, so you can have it."

"But what am I supposed to do with it?"

Phoebe glared back at Regina and said "Whatever you want, I don't care. I just don't want to see it ever again."

Cuts to everyone at the starting line, where Chef and Hayley explain the challenge. "Alight y'all, listen up!"

"For this race," Hayley explains, "there are three checkpoints that you'll need to get to before finishing the race."

"First, you must go to the drive through movie theater and smash seventeen cars."

"Yes!" Margaret exclaims.

Sunny looks confused when she asks "Why seventeen?"

"Who cares?" Hayley says boredly.

"For your next checkpoint" Chef continues, "you'll have to make it through the hula hoops of death!" It then cuts to a ramp leading up to a set of several hula hoops, all of which are spinning and are on fire. In the middle, there appears to be something hanging from a string. It then cuts back to the contestants, all of which wince at this except for Margaret, who appears to be foaming at the mouth, then back to Chef, where he continues. "Then you must make it up lookout point!"

Pssssssssh" Dante laughs. "What's so scary about a hill?" Cuts to the hill in question, where there appears to be many hazards, including but not limited to ninjas, ice, a line of angry bears, and a cement truck pouring out molasses. Fun.

"On your marks, get set, go!" Right after Chef fires the gun, the teams speed past him. The Bellhops nearly run over him, but he jumps out of the way just in time.

"Sorry!" Franchesco apologies as he zooms past Chef.

"Uh,does anyone know where the first checkpoint is?" Sunny asks the rest of her teammates, to which they just shake their heads at.

"Why don't we just follow them?" Andrew points at the other team's truck.

/

Meanwhile, as the Terrors approach the first checkpoint, Nurse Penny and Olga are there hiding away in the ticket booth.

"Are you ready?" The shorter nurse asks the former contestant.

"Ves." Olga just replies.

"Okay good, and Courage?" Penny turns to her left where Courage is supposed to be, but they aren't there. "What?" She turns back to Olga and asks her "Where's Courage?"

"Vi von't vo." Olga says. "Vi thought vou vere supposed vo keep track of vhem."

Penny points at Olga. "You stay here while I go get them."

"Vou got vit!" Penny exits out the back. Just then, the Terrors come barreling through. Scared couples and families get out of their cars and run as Margaret totals their cars.

"I've always wanted ta do dis!" Margaret says as she is clearly having way too much fun with this.

Just then, Olga gets out a popcorn gun and says "Vay hello vo vy little friend!" Before pelting her former team with popcorn.

Rival spits some out of his mouth. "You know, I like popcorn as much as the next guy, but this is ridiculous."

"Watch out!" Laurie says as she notices Olga throwing some nacho cheese bombs at their truck, but it's too late. The bombs hit the Terrors windshield, obscuring everyone's view as Franchesco and the Bellhops pull ahead.

In Courage's lair, Courage is having a demented tea party with Liz and Maria. The former just seems to be bored while the latter is clearly scared. There are courpses of what appear to be dead rats surrounding them.

"Would ywou wike some suwgar Mwrs. Pwickachu?" Courage asks one of the dead rats.

Liz sighs. "They're dead, dingbat! They're not going to say anything, and even if they were alive, they're rats, so they wouldn't say anything anyway!"

Just then, Nurse Penny bursts through the door. "Courage, what are you doing?"

"I jwust cwaptured thwese two who were out of bwounds! Iswn't thwat what I was swopposed two dwo?"

"What?" Penny glares at Courage in confusion. "No, there's no out of bounds line in this challenge. Where did you hear that?" Before Courage can respond, Penny rubs her forehead and says "Look, it doesn't matter. Just come with me."

"What da heck? How am I supposed ta see?" Carter whispered something in Margaret's ear. "Oh yeah" she said before turning on the windshield wipers, getting most of the nacho cheese off. "Good thing ya installed dose."

"Watch out!" Elizabeth yells as they swerve into the ticket booth. The impending crash sends Olga up into the air where she goes through the sun roof and into the vehicle with her former team.

"Hellvo."

"Olga?" Margaret questions.

"Yo dawg, weren't you eliminated last time homie?" Dante asks her.

"Ves, vi am an intern now." She answers.

"Was that you who was shooting at us?" Elizabeth asks.

"Yeah." She plainly states.

"Ya nincompoop!" Margaret waves her fist at Olga. "Why didn't ya try ta sabotage the otha team?"

"To be fair," Olga twiddles her fingers, "Vi didn't know vhich team vas vhich."

"Whateva" Margaret shrugs it off. "Did we crush seventeen cars yet.

"Vi von't know." Olga responds.

"Oh well," Margaret sighs before saying "let's just crush da rest of 'em."

As this is going on, Elizabeth tries to flirt with Rival. "Is it getting hot in here? Oh wait, it's just me!" She snuggles up to the guitarist, who immediately gets nervous as a result.

"Um…I guess." Rival says plainly.

Elizabeth laughs. "Oh Rivy, you're so cute when you're nervous."

Olga turns to Elizabeth and asks her "Vhat do vou vant?"

"What, who me?" Elizabeth points at herself. "Why I don't mean any harm." She lies, to which Olga can see through.

"Oh vah?" Olga points her finger at Elizabeth. "Vall I know is vhat girls who are obviously flirting with guys vant somevhing."

"Girls, girls, girls!" Rival tries to calm the situation down before it escalates. "Why can't we be friends?" But the girls aren't having any of it.

"Are you…jealous?" Elizabeth smirks.

"Vo, vi only like strong men, and Rival just isn't vy type!"

"Oh yeah, could've fooled me!" Elizabeth fires back at Olga.

"Girls, please?" Rival tries to break the tension, but it's no use, as the girls in the back seat continue to argue.

/

As that's going on, the Bellhops are in a bit of a pickle.

"Did we crush seventeen cars yet?" Franchesco asks the Bellhops.

Andrew sticks his head out the window then snarkily replies "If by crushing you mean making it look like a pair of manhole covers with the weight of a several ton vehicle ran over them, then sure, we "smashed" an entire row of about twenty cars."

"Good enough." Franchesco says before high tailing it out of there, wrecking the fence in the process. Just then, Courage gets in front of their truck.

"Stwop!" The intern throws their hands up in the air. Franchesco pumps the breaks and just narrowly avoids hitting them, stopping right in front of Courage's nose. "Thwat was clwose!"

"Ugh, what now?" Franchesco groans.

"Missing someone?" Penny says from a megaphone. Off to her right was Liz and Maria.

"Oh yeah, we kinda forgot about those two." Franchesco says as as he puts the car in park and turning the ignition off.

Andrew then opens up the door and clears a space for them as they climb in.

"Where have you been?" Regina questions them.

"Nevermind that," Liz responds, "just drive!"

"I will not start the car until everyone has their seat belts on!" Franchesco tells Liz.

Liz sighs before doing just that. "There, you happy?"

Franchesco turns his attention to Maria. "Do you have your seat belt on?"

"Uh huh" she says as she clicks the belt into place.

Just then, the Terrors pass them by, with Margaret honking her horn and making a crude gesture at Liz as they go by. "Gun it!" Liz commands Franchesco.

Franchesco puts the keys in the ignition and races after the Terrors.

/

Meanwhilein the Terrors' vehicle, Olga and Elizabeth are still arguing, with Rival and Laurie trying to break it up.

"Oh yeah well you're just a Russian biker girl stereotype!" Elizabeth shouts.

"Yeah vell vou're just an overconfident gymnast stereotype!" Olga fights back.

"Girls, please!" Laurie begs.

Margaret finally gets tired of this, so she tells Deon to take the wheel before turning around to tell them both "Hey ya two, quiet!" She points at Olga. "We already eliminated ya, so I'd have no problems telling wrestler girl ova here ta throw ya out da winda!" She points at Elizabeth, "and I'd have no problems eliminatin' ya next if it comes ta dat! Yagoddit?"

Elizabeth gulps before responding "Yes ma'am!"

"Good, now be quiet!" She shifts back to Olga. "Dat goes for ya too! Kapeesh?"

"Um…vapeesh." Olga responds

Margaret sighs, then turns her attention back to driving the truck.

Elizabeth puts her arm out for Olga. "Hey, I'm sorry about that."

"Vit's vokay. No harm, no foul." Olga and Elizabeth shake hands.

"And now fer da good part!" Margaret says as she approaches the next obstacle. "Hold on tight, because we're about ta go inta high gear!" Everyone listens to Margaret as she boards the ramp. "Time it just right…" Margaret says before her car flies in the air. They just make it past the flaming hula hoops. "And she sticks da landin'!" Margaret exclaims as they land on the ground.

/

Meanwhile, the Bellhops were just approaching the flaming hula hoops when Maria looks up and sees something.

"Is that…" she squints before her eyes widen. Looking up, she sees the sun roof on the truck is closed, so she opens it.

"What are you doing?" A concerned Liz asks Maria.

Without saying anything, Maria gets up out of her seat and climbs into Franchesco's lap, taking over the wheel, to which Franchesco asks her the same question that Liz did, but she ignores him too. Taking a confident deep breath before going up the ramp, everyone yells at her, but Maria doesn't care. The car goes through the hula hoops, and she reaches up to grab something, but she doesn't get the angle right, so the tires catch a bit of fire, but otherwise, everything's okay. Franchesco finally is able to push Maria out of the way. Maria immediately hides whatever it was in her vest before getting yelled at by the majority of her own teammates.

"That was a bone headed decision!" Franchesco complains.

"How could you do that?" Liz yells at her.

/

Over in the Terrors' car, Laurie glances over at Deon awkwardly, and he smiles back. Laurie points over at Margaret, then makes a heart and a question mark symbol with her hands. Deon shook his head and said "no" in the quietest voice he could, which causes Laurie to breathe a sigh of relief. Meanwhile, Elizabeth and Olga are having a friendly chat.

"So, what's it like being an intern?" Elizabeth questions. "Do you get any perks?"

"Vell ve vo get vhis breakroom." Olga answers.

"Oh nice" she says before turning to Rival. "So, you have any siblings?" She asks, just trying to make conversation.

Rival's face turns red before Olga says "Actually, ve does. Vell her, Rival."

Rival wices at this. "I'd rather not." He sighs.

"Oh yah, and why's that?" Elizabeth wonders.

"Probably because ve's got some family drama." Olga blurts out, causing Rival to become even more embarrassed.

"Ooh, family drama?" Elizabeth turns back to Rival. "What happened?"

"Ve…" Olga starts, but Rival interrupts her.

"I may have…gotten a little mad at her…and she may have ended up in the hospital." Both Olga's and Elizabeth's jaws drop after Rival volunteers this information.

"You beat her?" Elizabeth tears up, sorry that she ever tried to meddle.

"Look, I know how it sounds. Going through it was even worse. I made peace with my family, but I moved to get away from it. It's not something I'm proud of, but it is what it is. I wish things turned out differently." Rival sighs and puts his hands over his head. Just then…

"Watch out!" Carter yells as he sees the bears in front of them. Margaret pumps the brakes.

"Whaddare we supposed ta do about dis?" She honks her horn. A few seconds later, the Bellhops truck comes barreling through. As their truck is now partially on fire, this scares the bears away. "Well okay then." Margaret continues on ahead.

/

"Wonder what's in store next?" Franchesco says as he rolls past the bears.

As this is going on, Maria sneaks to the back of the truck where nobody else is sitting. She takes out the box and looks into it. "Yes" she celebrates at the contents, which is conveniently obscured from audience view.

"Look out!" Phoebe points at a group of ninjas which jump out in front of the Bellhops' truck. Franchesco immediately hits the breaks.

"What do we do now?" Just as they start to jump the Bellhops' vehicle, Margaret sticks her head out the window and fires her toy gun. The sound scares the ninjas away, causing Franchesco to gun it, but not before one of the ninjas hit their vehicle with a throwing star, puncturing the gas can.

Over on the ice track, things get slippery for the Terrors, but not for the Bellhops, as their car is on fire, this melts the ice, causing them to pull ahead of the Terrors. Over on the molasses part of the track is where things start to get difficult, as both teams start moving slower.

"What da heck?" Margaret looks down to see that they're stuck.

The bellhops get stuck on the sticky substance too. Oh yeah, and also they start to notice that their vehicle is on fire.

"Hey" Andrew sniffs the air. "I think something's burning."

"Yeah" Franchesco's eyes widened. "It's us!" he shouts.

Just then, the Bellhops' truck explodes in a fiery blaze. Everyone on the team is sent flying up into the air before landing on the molasses. Just then, Hayley appears in front of both teams.

"Well," the super computer says, "since one team clearly can't race anymore, I think we have a winner." Hayley awards the Terrors the win, to which they celebrate and the Bellhops groan.

Before the elimination ceremony, Phoebe was talking to Sunny. "Look, about what happened earlier today, I'm so sorry. It's just that…"

"No," Sunny stops Phoebe by putting her hand over Phoebe's mouth, "it's okay. I've seen another side of you, and I know that you just want help with…whatever is bothering you."

Phoebe removes the hand from her mouth and says "Yeah, about that…I wasn't exactly myself when I said and did those things to you."

"Oh really?" Sunny is taken aback by this. "What do you mean?"

Phoebe sighs before saying "Well let's just say that there's this voice inside my head, and her name is Libby."

"Um, okay." At first, Sunny is not quite sure how to process this information.

Phoebe sighs before asking "You probably think I'm crazy, don't you?"

"No, no, it's okay. I completely understand."

Phoebe gives her a confused glare before saying "You do?"

"Yeah, although I have no idea what it's like, it's okay. I won't tell anyone about it, and I can try to help you if you want."

Sunny's words make Phoebe smile, and cry a few tears of joy. "Thank you" she says before hugging Sunny.

/

Meanwhile, Qwynn and Maria have a chat.

"Listen" Qwynn rubs his hands together. "I can try to get them to vote for Liz, but I'm no miracle worker." He states.

"It's okay…"

"No, it's not okay. You need to give me a reason why you did what you did in that challenge earlier today, or else I'm afraid I can't spin it in a positive light." He bluntly tells her.

Maria simply responds to this by saying "Look, I've got it taken care of. Just trust me," and running off.

"I'll never understand that girl" he says before sighing and putting his hands in his face.

"Well, none of you really outperformed the rest of your team today," Hayley bluntly states, "So I'm just going to give out these things at random, starting with you Andrew."

"Why thank you" Andrew says as he catches his card.

"And Tyson, you did some stuff today I guess, so here!"

Tyson falls over as he catches his card. "I'm okay" everyone snickers as Hayley announces who will get the next few cards.

"Qwynn, Sunny, and Regina, you didn't do anything noteworthy today, so here."

Chef tosses them their cards as Hayley turns her attention to the bottom three, which in this case is Maria, Phoebe, and Liz.

"Now, you three managed to rack up all of the votes tonight."

"What?" Liz spoke up. "How did I get any votes?" She scowls at Maria, who gives her a "wasn't me" gesture in response.

"I don't know," Hayley responds, "but here's your card."

Qwynn facepalms himself as Chef tosses Liz her card.

Confessional: Qwynn

He sighs in frustration. "Whelp, either way I'm screwed. Either way I'll lose my most interesting subject or my only alliance member…on this team."

Hayley turns her attention to the two alliance partners. "Now Phoebe, you got the wrong size wheels, and were bossy to everyone today…"

"I'm sorry everyone. It's my fault." She honestly states.

"Be that as it may, at least you didn't totally cost your team the game today, that honor goes to Maria, who caught her team's car on fire in a bone headed decision. Now, without any further ado, the final room key goes to…"

"Just give her the card now." Phoebe speaks up.

"Actually Phoebe, this is for you." Hayley gives her the good news.

"What?" she questions as she lets her card go right past her, "but I assumed you all voted for me."

"Nah, it wasn't your fault we lost." Sunny said.

"Yeah, and I know deep down you were just trying to do your best." Regina tells her.

Phoebe breaks down and cries. "Aw, thanks guys!" She says to the rest of her team.

Qwynn turns to Maria and tells her "I'm sorry, I tried to help you but…"

Maria tries to calm him down when she says "No, no, it's okay."

"Okay, what do you mean?" Qwynn looks at her, befuddled.

"It's okay because…I've got this." Maria holds up her team swap idol.

Hayley smiles. "Oh well then in that case, let's have a spin off."

"I'll go get the wheel." Chef leaves the room for a few seconds, returning with a wheel with the faces of all of the remaining members of the Towering Terrors.

She has her fingers crossed and her eyes closed. "Please land on Margaret! Please land on Margaret! Please land on Margaret!" She repeats over and over.

Chef spins the wheel. After slowing down, the ticker goes past Laurie's, Carter's, and Rival's pieces of the pie before almost coming to a complete stop on Elizabeth's triangle.

"Come on, come on!" Maria whispers to herself as she was rooting for it to cross the plane on to Margaret's triangle, which was right next to it, but in the end, it doesn't have enough momentum to carry it over to Margaret's part of the wheel.

"Everyone, say hello to your new teammate, Elizabeth!" Chef exclaims.

Confessional: Maria

"Oh man, I was so close to dodging Margaret" she sighs. "This is not good I'm telling you, not good!" She sighs before saying "but at least I'm away from Liz now, but then again I'm going out of the frying pan and into the oven." She puts her hands over her chest. "I am not looking forward to this! But then again, I'm happy to be away from Liz. But then again…"

The confessional pauses. Zoom out and we can see Hayley with a clearly feigned worried expression on her face. "Oh no, it looks like Maria is fearing for her life. It would be a shame if someone rigged this!" She tries to hold back laughter. "But anyways, what will happen next time? Find out on the next episode of TOTAL DRAMA HOTEL MADNESS!" She says before bursting out in laughter. Before the screen fades to black, Hayley can be heard whispering "I didn't even plan it out like this, but man is messing with these kids fun!"

Vote swap idol- Still not found.

AN: SURPRISE! You got punked! Anyways, sorry for the non elimination episode. Admittedly I don't like these, so going in I intentionally put Maria on the team I knew that she wouldn't fit in as well with to set myself up for this first non elimination episode. I totally planned this out from the beginning. On a side note, what idol do you think is the most interesting? About why I switch out Maria with Elizabeth in particular, well let's just say that there's a reason why Qwynn is in an alliance with both girls. Before I get out of here, I just wanted to say how sorry I am with how long this episode took to get out, but it was school stuff combined with me not liking a good portion of this episode so I had to go back and re-write it combined with I knew this episode was going to be a bear to write anyway, so apologies for that. Also, I know that this challenge was kinda similar to the challenge in episode 3, but going into this season, I knew I wanted to do a race challenge, as I think those are the most fun to write, and for the most part, this one was in my opinion. Next up, I'm doing my first viewer suggested challenge. All I gotta say is thanks for the idea AmethystEnthraller. But anyways, that's all for now. Daring out!

Daring's tip: Under the sea, just you and me!
