Towering Terrors- Carter, Dante, Deon, Laurie, Margaret, Maria, Rival 7/10
Ballistic Bellhops- Andrew, Elizabeth, Liz, Phoebe, Regina, Sunny, Tyson, Qwynn 8/10
The scene opens up on Hayley in a room looking at Hayley looking at the contestants through several TV cameras. She turns around and sees the camera in front of her.
"Oh sorry about that!" She snaps her fingers, and with that, everything around her disappears. She then proceeds to give the intro. "Last time on Total Drama Hotel Madness, things heated up as the contestants were forced to build a monster truck, and then race it. Tensions flared as it seems some people grew closer together, while for others it went the other direction. In the end, the Bellhops' truck was bursting apart at the seams until it finally exploded. Maria was going to be eliminated, but lucky for her, someone snuck a team swap idol into the challenge. I wonder who that could've been, because that wasn't supposed to happen." She winks. "But anyways," she continues, "Maria saved herself from elimination by snagging it for herself. What will happen at thirty thousand leagues under the sea? Find out on this episode of TOTAL DRAMA HOTEL MADNESS!

Confessional: Phoebe and Libby
"You did a very bad thing to me last time."
"I did what I had to do." Phoebe says confidently. "I can't have you ruining my life anymore!"
"Is that so? Well, I may not have my hat anymore, but let's see what happens when I pop a piece of gum in my mouth." Libby does just that, and can feel herself taking over, but not completely. "Oh yes, I can work with this!" She chomps down on the gum. "This feels good!"
"No! What are you going to do with me?" Phoebe starts to panic.
"Oh nothing yet, but with this newfound control I guess I can figure something out!" Libby grins evilly before Phoebe frowns, concerned.

Libby, who was disguised as Phoebe, was walking down the hallway when she ran into Liz. Not seeing the shorter girl, she bumps into her.
"Oh, sorry." Phoebe apologized, as Libby let her take over for this particular situation.
"Oh, it's okay." Liz started to get up before Phoebe bent over.
"Can I help you up?" Phoebe stuck her arms out.
"Oh no, I'm fine." Liz got up on her own. "Actually, you're just the person who I wanted to talk to."
Phoebe leaned back, shocked, before asking "I am?"
"Why yes. You see, I was looking to start an alliance. Are you interested?" Liz asked the much taller girl.
"Me? Well actually…"
Just then, Libby takes over. "Idiot" Libby says under her breath, just loud enough for Liz to hear before she says "Yes, I'd love to join an alliance with you! We'll be the best of friends!" Libby shakes Liz's hand before walking off, with Liz turning around to observe her as she goes.
Confessional: Liz
"Okay, that was a little weird. I wonder why she would call herself an idiot like that, but I've got a theory. It's simple really. The way she acted after she called herself an idiot can only mean one thing, that she has a personality disorder. I'm not quite sure which one yet but I have my guesses. Hmmm…now how do I use this to my advantage?" She wonders.

Libby kept walking down the hallway until she was stopped by Regina.
"Hey, I made something for you!" The fashionista blurts out before pulling a sweater out of her purse. The sweater looks handmade. It's blue, the same color as her hair. It had her name on it in sparkles. "You like it?" She asked.
"Eh, it's okay." Libby replied.
"I just thought I'd make it for you, to help you feel better." Regina smiles as she gives it to her.
"Uh…thanks" she says before whispering "whatever."
Regina shakes her hand. "You're welcome" she says, "and if you need anything, just remember that your Auntie Regina will be there for you."
"Thanks, that's…good to know." Libby says.
Regina smiles. "Well, I'll be on my way. See you later!" She waves goodbye to the schizophreniac.
"Yeah, I'll see you later." She waves goodbye before turning around to see Regina turn the corner, when she does, Libby holds up the sweater before saying "Make me feel better? More like a reminder of how soft she truly is!" Libby tries to tear it, but Phoebe fights back.
"No please, don't" She yells.
"Are you…standing up to me?"
"Please, don't rip the sweater, I'll do anything you ask!" Phoebe begs.
"Anything?" Libby asks, amused.
"Yes, anything!" Phoebe shouts back.
"Okay then," Libby smirks, "why don't you try to eliminate someone for me?"
"Who?"
"Qwynn, he's really annoying to me. We should get him out." Libby tells Phoebe.
"Why?" Phoebe questions, "What did he do to you?"
"Oh, him and his stupid writing habit and trying to study us is really getting on my nerves. If you don't, the sweater goes bye bye!"
Phoebe sighed before saying "Oh, alright."
"Good." Libby grins. "Now let's have some fun!"

Andrew was just about to sit down at the lunch table when he sees Sunny already there. Immediately he gets nervous and decides to just stand there as he sweats, thinking about what to do next.
Confessional: Andrew
"Okay so, I know last time I started to feel a connection with Sunny but like I'm still nervous around her. Girls, other than my mom, don't normally talk to me, or even take me seriously so like, I just don't know what to do, and that Franchesco guy there doesn't help matters either. I don't think he likes me. Seriously please, someone help me!" He gets down on his knees and begs to the camera.
Confessional over
"Hey, I've gotta go to the restroom." Franchesco tells Sunny. "Are you sure that you won't need me while I'm gone?"
Sunny rolls her eyes before saying "Yes, I'm sure."
As Franchesco gets up, he sees Andrew standing there nervous, and just rolls his eyes.
"What are you looking at?" Andrew says, giving his location away to Sunny, who turns around after hearing his voice.
"Oh hey there Andrew, why don't you come sit here right next to me?" She clears a space for him.
"Oh," his face turns bright red, "hey there, Sunny."
Sunny giggles upon seeing his face turn red. "You don't have to be nervous."
"I…don't?" Andrew asks, as this is a strange concept to him.
"No, in fact, why don't we talk about anime?" She suggests.
As soon as she mentions anime, this makes Andrew slightly less nervous. "R…Really?"
"Uh huh." Sunny nods her head.
"A…Alright." He sits down next to her.
"So, how are you doing?" Sunny eases him into the conversation.
"Um…good. Thanks for asking" he says awkwardly.
"How is your arm doing?" She asks him.
"Oh good actually, Nurse Penny said I could take it off soon." With his non-injured hand, he clutches his back. "Although I can still feel the pain from when Regina tripped on me."
"Yeah I remember that. That must've hurt." Sunny notes.
"You can say that again."
"Yeah I remember that. That must've hurt" she repeats, to which Andrew picks up on.
"Hey," Andrew called her out, "I didn't mean that literally!"
"Oh I know," Sunny laughs. "It was just a joke."
"Oh, I get it now!" Andrew laughs. "So, did you find a better hiding spot for that body pillow?"
"Yes I did actually, this time I hid it under the bed." She answers.
"No no no no, that's not a good place for it."
"Really?"
"Yeah," Andrew "what if Franchesco trips and sees it there or something?"
Sunny looks puzzled. "Huh, I don't know. That's a good point."
Andrew takes a bite of his sandwich. "You see where I would hide it in your situation is in your suitcase, you know the one that you put your bras and stuff in. Franchesco wouldn't dare to look there."
"Hmmmm…I never thought of it like that. Thanks." Just then, Franchesco returns from the bathroom.
"Ugh, predictable" he mutters under his breath before sitting down on the other side of Sunny and asking "So, what are we talking about?"
"Oh" Sunny blushes, as she was surprised by his presence. "Well we were just talking…" she stutters.
Andrew steps un to save Sunny by saying "We were just talking about anime."
"Yeah…" Sunny continues stuttering, as she can't find the right words, "...we were just talking about Sailor America."
"Hmmmm…" Franchesco strokes his chin as he examines their faces, looking for even a hint of dishonesty. "Okay, I believe you."
As Franchesco turns around to eat his lunch, they both breathe a big sigh of relief.

Confessional: Elizabeth
She has her arms folded and a very annoyed expression on her face when she says "Ugh, nothing like getting evicted from your other, better room in the middle of the night and being forced to move to a much more crummy one because someone decided to use a team swap idol. That'll ruin your mood for sure." She pouts. "Whelp," she sighs, "guess I'd better talk things over with my alliance partner."
Confessional over
Elizabeth was just about to head over to Qwynn's room when suddenly he knocks on her door.
"Coming!" Elizabeth rushes to get the door. "Hey" she greets Qwynn. "I was just about to go see you."
"Yeah," Qwynn comes into her room and sits down on the chair, "we obviously need to talk since now we're on the same team."
"Yeah obviously." Elizabeth groans as she sits down on her bed.
"Is there anything wrong?" He asks her, based off of that reaction.
"Oh no, it's just that before I was switched, I found something out that I'd rather not share."
"Oh," Qwynn puts his notebook and pencil down. "Was it that bad?"
"Uh huh. It's something that I don't think you'd want to know" she replies.
Qwynn sighs, but is understanding. "Okay then, I won't ask about it. Let's just move on."
"Right."
"Anyways, you think you could still get secrets for me on this team? I mean, I already have some, but it never hurts."
Elizabeth nods her head. "Yes, I'm pretty sure that I can."
"Good, then let's work on Maria." Qwynn says.
"Maria?" Elizabeth pauses. "Isn't she the one who I was switched out for?"
"Why yes," Qwynn explains, "yes she was, but you see, she was also my other alliance partner."
"Your other alliance partner?" Elizabeth blinks. "Why didn't you tell me about that?"
"Because, I didn't feel a need to, until now." Qwynn picks his notebook and pencil back up. "You see, I want her to still get the dirt on the other team for me, so we may need a little motivation for her, so see if you can get anything on her, alright?"
Elizabeth gulps before answering "Alright, I'll see what I can dig up."
"Great! That's all I needed." He gets up from his seat. "Goodbye now." Qwynn closes the door and leaves.
Elizabeth takes a big breath. "Phew." She wipes the sweat off her forehead.

Carter is on his computer in his room when Liz knocks on his door.
"Coming" he gets up to answer the door.
"Hey" Liz greets him with a friendly wave.
"Hey, what's going on?" He asks her.
"Well actually, two things. You see, first I have a little favor to ask of you."
Carter sighs. "Look if it has anything to do with technology or sabotaging a challenge, forget about it. I've lost both of my laptops, so unfortunately, I'll be of no help in that department until I'm able to find a solid replacement."
"Oh no, nothing like that. You remember how last time there was a team swap?"
"Yeah." Carter blinks. "So what about it?"
"Well," Liz sighs, "that girl who's on your team now betrayed me. I need you to put the clamps down on her."
"What do you mean by that? Because remember, I can't use a computer."
"Shock her, get some dirt on her, anything. Just scare her straight." Liz says.
"Okay" Carter thinks. "I can do that."
"Good, now there's something else I wanted to bring up." Liz mentions.
"Go on."
"Well I just ran into Phoebe, and I'm pretty sure that she has a personality disorder of some sort."
Carter raises an eyebrow. "Ah, I see, but how does that help us?"
"Actually, I don't know yet, but we should keep an eye on her, see what we're in for."
"Okay, that sounds reasonable. How about you do that today, and I'll handle the other girl, Maria I think her name was?"
"Sounds like a plan!" Liz grins.

Deon and Laurie were wrestling each other in Deon's bed.
"I will beat you this time!" Laurie said as she knocked over a lamp that was on the nightstand.
"Not likely" Deon said as he put her in a headlock.
"Oh no you don't!" Laurie tickled Deon's armpit, causing Deon to laugh and let go of her.
Just then, someone knocks on the door. "Hey, who is that?" Deon shouts.
"Yo homie, open the door!" Dante yells back.
"Ugh." Deon gets up. "Oh, alright." He says as he saunters towards the door.
"Hey bro!" Dante greets Deon.
"I'm not your bro!" Deon snaps.
"Anyways" Dante continues, as he is unphased by this, "I was thinking dawg, I gotta protect myself."
"What do I look like," Deon glares at him, confused, "your bodyguard?"
"Naw naw naw, nothing like that dawg. I'm talking about an alliance."
"Alliance? Deon Blade doesn't do alliances. You're on your own man." Deon tries to close the door, but Dante puts his foot in it.
"But what if I told you that I need help?" Dante says.
"I don't care." Deon replies.
"Look I did something for you dawg, but now you don't have my back homie when I need you the most?"
"Deon" Laurie steps in. "Hear him out."
"Oh, alright." Deon sighs. "Why do you need me so much?"
"Because I'm being targeted, dawg!" Dante shouts.
"Seriously?" Deon raises an eyebrow.
"Yes, seriously. I've tried to make alliances before, but none of them have ended well." Dante admitted.
"Why should I care?"
"Because," Dante continued, "look, I just need help. Can you help me dawg?"
Deon thinks about it for a moment before saying "Okay fine, but I ain't joining an alliance with you."
"That's good enough for me homie!"
Confessional: Dante
"Yo dawg, I don't know why I didn't think of it earlier homie! Deon is the closest thing to a friend that I have. It was a bit harder than I thought it would be, but at least now I've got someone dawg! Carter is going down!"
Confessional over
Confessional: Deon
"Look, I know I was being tough on him, but it's just because I'm Deon Blade, and when I'm Deon Blade, I don't need help from nobody or nothing! I'm not actually this conceited in real life." Deon shook his head. "Although…I had always intended on saying yes to helping him." He sighs.

Confessional: Rival
"Well, if I want to stay in the game, I've got to get an ally, since I'm the odd man out on my team. Since I lost Olga, I've got no one, so I guess I might as well replace her with the new girl. At least she doesn't know about my past." He sighs.
Confessional over
Confessional: Maria
"Okay so, I'm still a little conflicted about what happened last elimination, but I did what I needed to do. I don't know what will happen or where to go from here, but one thing is for certain, I need to make an alliance with someone to stay in the game. I just don't know who yet. Hmmmmmmmm…"
Confessional over
Maria was sitting alone in her room when suddenly she heard something bang on the door.
"Ouch" Rival exclaims as he clutches his foot. "Who put these tacks here?"
"Hello?" Maria surprises Rival as she opens up the door.
"Bwaaahh!" Rival jumps to face her, which only makes him step on more tacks. "Ow!"
She giggles at Rival as he hurts his feet with more tacks.
"Can I come in? Ouch!" Rival asks her.
"Oh yeah, sure." She nods her head.
"Thanks." She gets out of the way as he comes in and sits down on a chair. "Who would do such a thing like that?" He questions.
"Oh, I've got a pretty good idea."
Flashback
Liz follows Maria all the way to her door. When she closes it, Liz jumps out and immediately starts dumping the tacks in front of it.
"This'll teach her to mess with me!"
Flashback over
"So, what brings you here?" Maria asks him.
"Well, I just wanted to stop by and say hi to my newest team member." Rival hopes she'll buy that…
…but she doesn't. "You're just here because you need an alliance partner, aren't you?"
Rival's heart sinks before he says "Well actually, I…l…l…yes, this is exactly what it looks like." He admits. "Look, I just lost the closest thing to an alliance I had recently, and I'm kinda the odd man out on this team. I need all the help I can get."
"Look, I understand it. I was kind of in the same position when I was on the other team."
Rival raises an eyebrow. "Oh, really?"
Maria nods her head. "Uh huh, I didn't really fit in with anyone there."
"What a coincidence, I don't really think I fit in with anyone here." He sighs. "I don't really think I fit in with anyone anymore. I moved away from my family, I live on the streets, I come on here and I kissed the first girl I saw, and…"
"You think you have it bad?" Maria chimes in. "I'm…"
"Ouch!" Margaret can be heard from the other side of the door.
"I think you have a visitor." Rival points out.
Maria sighs, and puts her hand on her face. "Speak of the devil" Maria whispers before she answers the door.
"Hey, you need ta git ridda these things!" Margaret yelled at her.
Maria closes the door behind her, leaving Rival in her room. "Sorry, I'll get rid of them immediately."
"Good," Maria helps Margaret out of the tacks as she continues. "Now, I just wanted ta say welcome ta dis team."
Maria glares at her, shocked. "You're…actually being nice to me?"
"Yeah, ya gotta problem with that?"
Maria's eyes widened. "No" she said nervously.
"Good. Now, I just wanted ta lay out some ground rules fer ya."
Maria stands at attention.
"First, don't cross me!" Margaret shakes her fist at Maria.
"Got it." Maria nods her head.
"Second, don't do anything stupid, or you'll be sleeping with da fishes!"
Maria gulps before saying "Noted."
"Dat's yes ma'am ta ya!"
"Um…Yes ma'am!" Maria salutes her.
"And finally," Margaret gets her beloved stuffed walrus out of her purse. "Ya will not say anything bad about Sir Tuskerton!" She grabs Maria by the scarf and scares her with a stern "Got it?"
Maria stares at her like she's crazy, but she gulps before saying "Yes ma'am."
Margaret smirks before saying "Good."
Just then, Chef interrupts them with his megaphone. "Time for the next challenge" he shouts.
"Wait don't" Maria tries to stop him from stepping on the tacks, but it's too late.
"Hey, who put these here?" Chef questions.

Cuts to the familiar scene of everyone in the elevator when suddenly Hayley appears.
"Alright everyone, for this challenge, basically it's a game of capture the flag, except, well, prepare to get wet."
"Wet?" Rival shudders.
"Yes, for the first part of this challenge, you're going to have to find the lost city of Atlantis, then the team that gets there first has to protect the king there from being captured."
"Wait, Atlantis? How is that even possible?" Tyson scratches his head, confused.
"It's Hayley," Liz responds, "by this point, you shouldn't be questioning it anymore."
"Thank you Liz." Hayley thanks the girl as the elevator door opens up to a dock. Off to each of the sides there are two submarines, one for each team. Surrounding them is nothing but ocean for miles.
"Oh thank goodness," Rival says as he gets out of the elevator, "at least we won't have to get into the water." He breathes a sigh of relief.
"Actually," Hayley chimes in, "you might have to because there are certain hazards along the way."
"Hazards?" The guitarist panics.
"Don't worry about it." Margaret pats him on the back. "I'm sure that we can handle it as long as we stick togetha."
"Makes sense. I'm sure that there's nothing to worry abo…" Rival stops in his tracks as he looks down at the sub. "Yikes!"
"What's wrong?" Maria asks him.
"What, oh?" He's caught off guard. "It's just I've had some…bad experiences with water. That's all."
"I understand what you mean, I guess you could say that I have…a certain fear of water as well. But come on, this is part of the challenge, so we need to get in there."
Rival gulps before saying "Y…Yeah, I guess you're right."
When Rival gets in, he looks around to see that the submarine is actually quite big, bigger than he had imagined. He looks out the window and sees various fish swimming around. "Woah."
"Hey are you paying attention?" Margaret yells at him.
"Huh?" he turns around. "Oh I'm sorry, what were you saying?"
Margaret sighs. "I was sayin' dat we need ta find dis place first, so we need a well oiled machine. I don't wanna hear any excuses, otherwise you'll be sleepin' with them!" She points out the window at the fish swimming around. The others look out the window.
"Um…" Rival speaks up, "There's just one problem."
"What?" an annoyed Margaret asks.
"We just gave the other team a head start." Rival points at the Bellhops' sub, which is already on its way to find Altantis.
"Well don't look at me!" Margaret told her team. "Get ta work!"
/
Meanwhile in the Bellhops' sub, Liz had taken the leadership role, while Elizabeth, Franchesco, and Tyson were on the energy bikes powering the sub. Phoebe was the lookout while Qwynn and Andrew were in charge of driving, with Sunny and Regina right near them. The mood in the sub however was a bit sour as everyone was feeling at least a little bit uneasy. Case and point…
Confessional: Liz
She's holding a stress ball. "I will not think about Maria during the challenge. I will not think about Maria during the challenge. I will not think about Maria during the challenge. I will not ahhhhhhhh!" She pops the stress ball.
Confessional over
"Okay, we have to find this place first, so we can have the easier job!" Liz tells the rest of her teammates.
"Yes boss." Elizabeth replies boredly.
"Man, she needs to take a chill pill." Andrew whispers in Sunny's ear, to which she laughs at.
But Liz overhears this and gets up in Andrew's face like a drill sergeant and asks him "What did you say?" As her eye twitches.
Andrew clams up and says "Um…well what I was saying was…"
But before he can finish, Sunny steps in to save him with a "Was that we all just need to chill out. We can't win if we're all at each other's throats, am I right?" Franchesco, Elizabeth, Liz, and Phoebe all just groan in response. However, a determined Sunny won't let this go, so she gets up to give her team a speech. "Listen up," she addresses everyone. "We can do this, we've just got to dig deep and believe in ourselves!"
"Put a sock in it!" An annoyed Elizabeth yells back at her.
"Yeah besides, we need to focus on getting Maria ou…I mean winning this challenge, we don't need a pep talk!" Liz pours cold water on Sunny's attempt to galvanize the team, causing the latter girl to put her hands on her hips and sigh
Confessional: Sunny
She sighs. "Man, this team really seems to be on edge today. I don't know what's going on, but I'm going to do my best to keep that team morale up!"
Confessional over
Just then, something rams into their sub.
"What was that?" Sunny looks out the window and sees a familiar looking shark.
"It's that shark from the Frankenstein challenge!" Liz points at fang outside the window.
Franchesco stands up and majestically says "My time has come" and putting a diving suit on before opening the port hole.
But before he can do anything, Tyson exclaims "Don't worry, I've got this!" And jumps down the hole himself without a diving suit. He attempts to go in and beat up Fang, but predictably he can't hold his breath for that long, and Franchesco has to come in and save him.
"Don't you do that again, that was just plain stupid!" Franchesco yells at him before Sunny comes in to chastise him.
"Franchesco! Don't say that to him." She whispers in his ear.
"What? It's true, that was a bone head decision." He snaps back at her.
"Yes, but I'm trying to keep team morale up, and yelling at others is seriously undermining that!" She whispers back in his ear.
"Yeah but that doesn't mean I need to lie to people. I'll call out whoever deserves it! Now if you'll excuse me…" Franchesco gets back down into the water to go beat up Fang.
He goes out to look for Fang, but he can't see anything. "What the?" Franchesco looks around as Fang's shadow can be seen behind him going from right to left. "Okay, where is this thing?" Just then, Fang comes out from the shadows to attack him. "Agh!" Franchesco shouts as the amphibious shark attacks him.
Sunny is peering out the window with a distraught look. "He needs help!" She yells out urgently.
"Good, that thing is distracted. Let's go!" Liz tells the three who were
"What, but we just can't leave him there!" Sunny reminds her.
"Yes, but he's not part of the team. Besides, we need to get going." Liz argues.
"We should go back for him." Sunny tells her.
"But we need to get going!" Liz shouts back.
"Actually," Regina chimes in, "I agree with her."
"Oooooooooooooh…" Liz thinks about it for a second before saying "...fine, but we leave the second that he's back on board. Phoebe, go find where he is and just tell Andrew and Qwynn the directions." Liz rubs her forehead.
"Um…Liz?" Qwynn asks her, confused. "Who are you talking to?"
"Why, Phoebe of course." Liz responds bluntly.
"But Phoebe isn't there." Qwynn points at the lookout station where Phoebe was, but is no longer there anymore.
"What?" Liz turns around to look at where Qwynn was pointing. "Where is she?" Liz turns around, asking her entire team "Where did she go? Did anyone else see where she went?"
The entire rest of the team just shrugs their shoulders at her, as none of them saw her leave.
Liz groans. "Ugh, it's no matter" she says before going to the station herself. She looks around, but she cannot find Franchesco or Fang. "Uh guys, I can't find him anywhere."
"What?" Sunny pushes Liz out of the way and looks for herself, but she can't find them either. "We have to go back for him!" She panics.
Liz does not take Sunny pushing her lightly. She puts her arms on her hips and bluntly tells her "No, we don't!"
"Yes we do!" Sunny objects.
The two girls fight as the Bellhops' sub has lost any sense of direction.
/
As this is going on, the Terrors go by Fang who is still fighting with Franchesco.
"Ma'am we have a bogey up ahead," the lookout for the Terrors, Carter relays this information to Margaret, "a mutated shark is fighting that bodyguard from the other team. What should we do?"
"Send Deon out." Margaret recommends.
Deon, who's already in a diving suit, goes out to fight the shark. Deon gets up close and immediately surprises Fang, punching him in the nose, which makes him swim away.
"Thanks." Franchesco says, as he was tired from fighting the shark.
"Eh, it's no problem for Deon Blade. Hey, where's your team?"
"Huh?" Franchesco looks around for the red submarine, but he can't find it anywhere. "I dunno. They must've gotten lost.""
"Well, you wanna join us?" Deon asked him.
"I guess since there are no other options, but aren't you that big, tough wrestling heel from the other team?" Franchesco asked Deon.
"Deon Blade is many things, but he doesn't wanna see you drown, that's not cool." Deon answers.
"Well alright then, can't argue with that logic." Franchesco says as he and Deon go back to the Terrors' submarine. When he gets in the sub, Franchesco takes off his helmet.
Margaret glares at him. "Hey, aren't you with that one girl from the other team?"
"Yeah, about that. I'm kinda lost and I ended up here." Franchesco answers.
"Well don't just stand there, as long as you're here, get to work!" Margaret points at the exercise bikes that were powering the sub, of which Laurie and Dante were on two of.
Franchesco sighs. "Alright, fine." He gets on one of the bikes. "Man, she is bossy" he whispers in Laurie's ear.
"You have no idea." Laurie whispers back.
Meanwhile, Rival and Maria were in charge of driving the sub. Rival was nervous as he was looking out the window.
"So, what is it with you and water?" Maria asks him.
"Well I…" Rival scratches his head as he tries to find the right words. "...you see, when I was younger, I…"
"Watch it!" Carter interrupted him. "We're about to hit a rock. Turn left."
"Oh, I'm sorry." Rival says before he grabs the steering wheel and turns the sub. He then turns to Maria and admits "Maybe you should take over." He handed the wheel off to her.
"No, it's okay. Why don't we both steer together?" She suggests.
"Um…okay." Rival grabs the right side of the wheel and Maria grabs the left.
"So, about why you're afraid of water?" She asks him.
"Oh yeah, right." Rival clears his throat before continuing. "Well, this one time, my family and I were camping over at Lake Tahoe and there was this one fish who was teasing me. I tried to go after it, and well, it didn't end well. Then there was this one time when we went to the beach and there was this one person who was pretending to be a shark, swimming underneath everyone, and they grabbed my legs and I nearly drowned. Oh and then there was this one time when I saw the movie Claws when I was a kid. That giant lobster scared me as a child."
"Oh my, that's a lot." Maria comments.
"I wasn't done yet. I was running from these dogs and I slipped and fell on a puddle. The dogs got to the microwave burrito that was in my pocket and tore up my clothes. My sister and I were at the pool when she started to drown, so I went and saved her, but then I realized that it was the deep end and I started drowning too, and oh yeah. I can't swim. That's about it."
Maria's eyes widened. "Oh my, you've been through a lot." She said in a concerned tone.
Just then, something covers the viewing port. "Um, what's going on?" Carter asks as he can't see anything.
"Huh? What's goin' on?" Margaret questions him.
"I don't know, I can't see anything." Carter explains.
Margaret motions toward Deon. "Well don't just stand there, go out and see what it is, dum…um…Deon. "
Deon sighs as he readies himself for another dive. He goes out there and he immediately notices the giant kraken in front of him.
"Oh crud." The wrestler says. "This is…This is far bigger than anything I've ever faced. Maybe I should go back." He starts going back to his team's sub, but the gigantic squid wraps one of its tentacles around his leg before he can make it there. "No!" he shouts as the beast pulls him in. "Whelp, guess I'd better psyche myself up for it." He says as he thinks about Laurie.
"Oh my!" Maria says as she takes a peek out the window.
"What is it?" Rival tilts his head to look out the window at see the kraken. "Uh, usually, I would have a good pun for this, but this time, I can't think of anything, so everyone, look!" Rival points at the window, to which everyone rushes to see Deon attempting to fight the kraken.
"I'm guessing that's what was blocking my view." Carter states.
"What are we going to do about that?" Laurie gulps.
"Relax everyone," Margaret tries her best to calm her teammates down.
Franchesco glances over at the man who just helped him out, and feeling a little guilty, he interrupts Margaret by saying "What if I went out there?"
"Are you crazy?" Margaret questions. "Dat thing is huge!"
"Yeah but I've got a plan. I'll go rescue Deon then have him and I punch it's eyes out, then it won't be able to see us and we'll be home free."
"That might actually work." Laurie commented.
"What?" Margaret said in disbelief. "Dat sounds reckless and dangerous!"
"Well then, what do you suggest?" Laurie asks her.
"What's so wrong with his plan?" Maria questions.
"Yeah." The rest of the team pressures her.
"I mean it could work." Carter says.
"Oh…" Margaret finally caves. "Okay, you've gotta deal. But if it don't work, den you come right back to dis sub!"
Confessional: Margaret
"What? I just don't wanna see Deon get hurt, okay?" She grabs her hair and starts tugging on it. "What? Don't look at me like dat!" She gets out a gun. "I will end you!" She shoots the camera with it.
Confessional over
Franchesco makes it out on his journey. He swims over to Deon who is trying to get the beast into a chokehold, but clearly, he's no match as the kraken has him wrapped around its tentacle. "Hold on, I've got you!" After a couple tries, Franchesco is able to pull Deon from its clutches. "Go for its eye." Franchesco tells Deon, to which the wrestler nods at. Franchesco goes for it, but not being the master of stealth that Deon is, the beast sees what he's trying to do so it grabs him by the leg with one of its tentacles and just tosses him off into the blue.
Back in the sub, things are going swimmingly as Margaret yells at Rival and Maria. "Voi due siete degli stupidi idioti! Come fai a funzionare?" She yells at them in Italian.
"Um, we're sorry?" Rival says, partially confused because he doesn't know Italian.
"Why didn't ya tell me dat we have torpedoes?" Margaret's head is practically steaming at this point.
"We're sorry." Maria butts in. "We didn't know."
"Well don't just sit dere, fire dem already!"
Meanwhile, Deon does in fact punch one of the beast's eyes out, with it getting completely blown up by all of the torpedoes that it gets hit by like two seconds later, but Deon doesn't see it. All he sees is the thing going down, prompting him to say "I did it?" He watches the kraken fall deeper into the abyss. "I did it! Ahem" he clears his throat. "I mean of course I did it because I'm Deon Blade!" Deon rushes back to his team's sub to tell them the good news. "Did you all see that?" Deon exclaims proudly as enters back into the sub.
"D…" Laurie starts to run up to him, but then she remembers that she can't do that in the presence of Margaret, so she backs off. "...Yes we did." She clears her throat awkwardly.
"Good, yer alright!" Margaret says in a joyous but restrained tone. "Now git back ta work!" She points at the bikes, to which Deon heads toward.
"Yo dawg, what happened to the otha guy?" Dante wonders.
"Oh yeah, dat's right. What did happen ta him?" Margaret asks Deon.
"I dunno." Deon shrugs nonchalantly.
The scene goes to Franchesco, who's been thrown out of the water, and has landed on an island. "Ugh, where am I?" He gets up and takes off his helmet to see himself surrounded by a beach with palm trees off in the distance, with only the ocean behind him. "Well, there's definitely worse places that I could've ended up." As soon as he says that, several swords surround him, to which he grits his teeth nervously at.

Meanwhile, as Qwynn and Regina were trying to stop Sunny and Liz from fighting, Phoebe sneaks over to where Qwynn was sitting and steals his notebook.
"You can do it!" Libby argues.
"No, I don't want to!" Phoebe argues back.
"Do it or the sweater is going into the trash." Libby bribed Phoebe.
"Oh, okay. Fine." Phoebe caves and grabs the book anyway.
"Now read it!" Libby commands her.
"No!" Again, Phoebe fights back.
"Read it!" Libby threatens.
"No, I won't do it!" Phoebe crosses her arms and shakes her head.
"Fine then." Libby takes the sweater out of her hoodie pocket. "Oops." She says as she starts to rip it.
"No!" Phoebe sheds a tear for the sweater.
"Oh I'm sorry, is this upsetting you?" Libby asks Phoebe rhetorically.
"Okay, okay! Fine, I'll do it!" Phoebe finally says.
"Good girl." Libby says.
Phoebe opens the notebook and her eyes widen as soon as she does.
Meanwhile, Sunny and Liz were still fighting as everyone except for Phoebe try to break it up.
"We should go back for him!" Sunny yelled.
"No, we shouldn't!" Liz growls back at her.
"Yes, we should!"
Liz sighs. "Look, we're probably too far away from him by now! We can't lose progress!"
"Girls, please!" Qwynn says as he and Regina do their best to restrain Liz.
"Sunny, none of this is helping!" Andrew yells out as he and Tyson hold the teen idol back, but all of their efforts are in vain as Sunny breaks free and jumps on Liz.
As this is going on, the Bellhops' sub bumps into the leviathan, which obviously wakes the beast up. It tries to attack it, but the directionless submarine hits it in the eye.
"Go back!" Sunny yells as they both roll around on the floor.
"No!" As they continue rolling around, Liz hits a button with her foot which makes the sub fire torpedoes at the poor beast. After that, Sunny accidentally presses a button that makes two giant claws come out and torture the leviathan even more by grabbing it by the neck and practically strangling it, and to add insult to injury, a few more torpedoes slip into its mouth. Yeah, by this point, the indestructible creature has had enough, so it just waves the white flag and leaves with its tail between its legs as soon as it is able to escape the grip of the claws, and just like that, the Bellhops stumble upon Atlantis first. After a few seconds of jostling around, the submarine boards the port. The door opens up to reveal a familiar face waiting there for them.
"Sha-Welcome to.." before Lightning can finish, Sunny and Liz just bowl him over before he can say anything else. "Sha-What just happened, like for real dawg?"
"Wait," Liz says in the middle of their fight, "did we really just get here first?"
"Huh?" Sunny gets up to look around, seeing all of the beautiful architecture, the well advanced technology, and most importantly, to her at least, all of the beautiful mermen and mermaids that filled the streets. She immediately got little hearts in her eyes. "Oh, I know what I'm doing today!" She said with vigor.
Andrew looks out at the place in awe and says "Wow, this place is amazing…" before looking over at Sunny. "...ly horrible." He folds his arms. "Amazingly horrible" he repeats just to make sure that everyone heard him.
Lighting gets up and dusts himself off before saying "As I was sha-saying before I was sha-rudely interrupted, sha-welcome to sha-...to sha-...actually I don't know what this place is sha-anyway, but sha-welcome regardless!"
"Lighting!" Sunny immediately rushes over to him. "Hi, I'm Sunny!" She holds out her hand for him. "I'm a big fan!" She states, as if Andrew had another reason to be jealous.
"Sha-well, it's always nice to meet another sha-fan." He shakes her hand.
Andrew immediately butts in front of him to get in his way. "Hey Sunny, shouldn't we let him explain the challenge?" He says, hoping that Lightning would do just that.
"No!" Sunny pushes him out of the way.
"Actually, dude has a point, I've got a strict duty to uphold." Lightning pushes her away from him. "But I wouldn't mind spending some time with you afterwards." He winks at her, to which Sunny giggles at. Lighting turns to the rest of the team. "Sha-now, as the first team to arrive here, you guys get the awesome forces of sha-whatever this place is."
Just then, Hayley appears in hologram form. "Now, since this idiot can't properly explain the challenge…"
"Actually, he just did a pretty good job." Qwynn interrupts her.
"Seriously?" Hayley says, dumbfounded and somewhat annoyed, as she clearly didn't believe in him.
"Yeah," Regina clears her throat, "something about we get some forces and we have to defend this place from the other team."
"Yes, but your job is to protect him." Hayley points at Lighting. "If he sets one foot outside of this place, you lose. You guys get to use all of the weapons and technology that this place has to offer. You have one hour, starting now." A gigantic clock appears over the town which starts counting down. "Good luck." Hayley says before disappearing.
"Oh, I'll make sure to keep an eye on him." Sunny purrs like a cat as she snuggles up next to Lighting.
"Oh no you don't!" Andrew says as he pulls her away from him, to which Sunny scratches and claws at him like a real cat. "Ouch! Hey, you bit me!"
Confessional: Andrew
He looks really depressed as he sighs before saying "Well, it looks like I've got some work to do." He thinks for a second before saying "...or I could go back to Mitsuke!" He gets out his phone and opens up the Mitsuke app. He plays with it for about five seconds before his smile quickly turns to a frown. He puts his phone back into his pocket before saying "You know what? It's just not the same anymore."

Meanwhile, the Terrors have just arrived at where the Bellhops found the leviathan earlier. The beast sees them and comes out for an attack.
"Fire!" Margaret yells out, making it no secret what's going to happen next.
Rival fires the torpedoes and as soon as it sees them, it just gives up, not wanting to take another beating, leaving the torpedoes to hit the globular wall surrounding the city. They leave a dent, but are otherwise okay, because this episode needs to be longer.
"What was that?" Qwynn says from inside the city.
"Oh yeah, we have a sha-forcefield." Lightning tells her as he and Sunny are cuddling with Andrew in the background moping.
"What happened? Margaret scans the scenery around them. "Did we hit it?"
"I think that it's gone." Carter answers her.
Margaret takes one last look before saying "Good, now all we need ta do is find dis Altantis place!"
"It's right over there." Carter points out. "Keep going in that direction" he instructs Rival and Maria.
"Aye aye, sir." Rival says as he and Maria continue steering the sub.
As they get closer to the town, they are immediately greeted by a familiar voice. "Give up now" Liz commands from her place in the control center, "or I'll have to use force!"
Margaret grabs the intercom in her sub and yells "Bring it on" confidently.
"Fine." Just then, a few sets of missile launchers appear above Atlantis.
"Why'd she have to open her big mouth?" Maria questions her.
"Shaddup" Margaret tells Maria before saying "now see whaddelse dis thing can do besides shoot torpedas!"
"Um," Maria stares down at the buttons nervously before pressing one. Liz fires the missiles but they bounce off the forefield surrounding the Terrors sub. The missiles get directed back at the launchers which explode upon impact with the missiles themselves.
"Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr" Liz growls. "You win this round" she begrudgingly says into her intercom.
"Hmph" Margaret smiles. "I've got her right where I want her." She then turns to her teammates. "Come on, let's find some place ta hide. We've got an attack ta plan out."
/
Meanwhile, Franchesco was running from these pirates who were chasing after him.
"What did I do?" He shouts back at them. "Why are you chasing me?"
"Because, yer not a pirate!" Someone from the crowd shouts back.
"Okay, I didn't know that was a crime." He says to himself as he continues running.
"It is here!" Again, the crowd shouts back at him.
Franchesco sees a random dog on the beach that he's running on who just happens to be barking at the crowd. "Good boi" Franchesco says as he passes by the dog. "Now attack them." He points at the crowd, but instead of doing that, the dog just continues barking as the crowd of pirates passes by it. "You've gotta be kidding me!" Franchesco says as he watches this happen. He then runs into a tree branch and falls down. "Aw crap." Franchesco says as the pirates catch up to him.
/
As that was happening, the Terrors had found a chasm to discuss what they were going to do next.
"Okay, so what's our plan of attack?" Margaret asked the group.
"Well," Carter speaks up, "I say we infiltrate the place, we sneak in and shut the place down, then we kidnap the king."
"That's actually a pretty smart plan," Margaret admits, "but how do we get in dere?"
"Hmmmm…" Laurie grabs her chin, "well the other team had to get in there somewhere, right? What if we found out where that was and just get in through there?"
"Huh," Margaret thinks for a second. "Dat could work." She then turns to her teammates and asks them "Any objections?"
No one raises their hand or speaks up. Cuts to them arriving at the port.
"Alright, there it is." Carter points out.
"Steady, steady" Margaret says as Rival and Maria put the sub into position.
"Intruder alert! Intruder alert!" The security system shouts out as the Terrors get too close.
"What'll we do now dawg?" Dante speaks up.
"I dunno, but we'd betta get outta here!" Margaret yells at Rival and Maria.
"On it!" Rival and Maria turn the sub around as the security system shoots lasers at them, albeit with them denting the protective covering surrounding the city.
"Hey, dis thing's made of glass!" Margaret notices as they drive by.
"That could be useful to us," Carter sighs, "if only we had something to cut it with."
"Oh, I've got just da thing!" Margaret pulls several glass cutting knives out of her purse.
"Where did you get those?" A surprised Maria questions Margaret.
Confessional: Margaret
"What?" She stares at the camera with a completely serious look on her face. "Gotta have a couple of dose on me in case I wanna rob a jewelry store while I'm on da go!"
Confessional over
"None of yer business," Margaret shouts back at Maria before turning to the rest of her teammates and saying. "Now, I'm gonna need all of ya's ta put on yer divin' suits an' use dese!"
Rival gulps. "You mean I'll have to go in the water?"
"Yes!" Margaret responds. "Ya gotta problem with dat?"
"Um…no ma'am." Rival then turns to Maria and says "Um…yes ma'am" in his typical corny way.
"It's alright." Maria comforts him. "I'll be right there with you."
This causes Rival to perk up. "Thanks" he says.
"Don't mention it." She smiles at him.
/
Meanwhile, Sunny was um…busy. She was sitting on a throne and uh…yeah.
"Thank you" Sunny says as she receives a gift from yet another merman admirer.
"Would you like a backrub?" The mermen around Sunny ask her.
"Yes!" She responds without any hesitation.
The mermen promptly fight over who gets to give Sunny a backrub in the background.
"Ahhhhhh, this is the life!" Sunny says before she takes a sip of her drink.
"Oh yeah, this is sha-living!" Lightning flexes from the other throne right next to her. "They're payin' me just to do this? Best job sha-ever!"
Sunny giggles at his words. "I'll bet. Can I feel your muscles again?" Sunny flirts with Lightning.
"Sure!" Lightning flexes again and Sunny promptly squeezes his arms.
As this is going on, Andrew is seething in rage in the background. "What do I have that he doesn't?" Andrew asks Tyson, who was just standing right there next to him.
"Well actually, he has good looks, bigger biceps, he's better looking," Tyson lists off. "Basically, he's the total package."
Andrew glares back at Tyson in disgust, with a face that looks like he's about to kill him. "I know that, dummy. You didn't have to answer me! Jeez, thanks for the roast?"
Tyson looks at him confused and scratches his head as he says "What roast, where?"
Andrew just gets even more annoyed by this. "It's like I'm talking to a wall!"
"Huh? But you're not talking to a wall, you're talking to me silly!"
"You've gotta be kidding me." Andrew turns around and takes a few deep breaths before turning back to Tyson. "Look man, can you just help me impress Sunny or not?"
"Sure I can, teamie!" Tyson slaps Andrew on the back.
"Ouch, what was that for?" Andrew says in response to the slap.
"Oh sorry, forgot I wasn't on the sidelines with my buddies."
Andrew sighs. "Whatever man, let's just go!"
It cuts back to Sunny and Lightning, who are both enjoying being pampered.
"So Lighty, how was it on Revenge of the Island?" Sunny asks him.
"Woah hold up, first, don't call me Lighty, that's just wack dawg!"
"Oh um," a nervous bead of sweat drops down Sunny's face. "I didn't know that, I'm sorry."
"And second…actually, I can't think of what else I was going to say, huh. Must've not been sha-important." Lightning shrugs it off.
Just then, Andrew bursts onto the scene by literally bursting onto the scene.
"Surprise!" They both shout out at the same time.
"Sha-what is this about?" Lightning rolls his eyes.
"Sunny, I have a surprise for you!" Andrew grabs her hand.
"What is it?" She asks.
"Sha-hey!" Lightning butts in. "Don't touch the sha-queen!" He slaps Andrew's hands away from her.
"Uh…sorry." Just then, Tyson jumps into the scene, landing right on top of Andrew. "Dude!" He angrily yells at him.
"Oh sorry about that man." Tyson gets up off of Andrew. "Did I come in too soon?"
"Yes!" Andrew yells aloud.
Before anything else can be said, Liz appears on the giant screen in the middle of the town.
"Alright," she orders everyone, "we need to get more organized. We can't afford to let Mar…I mean the Terrors win." Indicating that she still clearly has Maria on her mind. "I say we divide and conquer."
"Oh, make us!" Sunny objects.
In response, Liz presses some buttons to show everyone the advanced weaponry that she's in control of.
"Got it!" Andrew says nervously. "Divide and conquer."
Sunny just rolls her eyes at this.
/
Meanwhile, Franchesco was on a pirate ship all tied up and bored. Very, very bored.
"You know, I thought this would be more exciting." He says as he's tied to a pole.
"Arrgh, you shut yer yap!" A buccaneer tells him as they point a sword at him.
Franchesco sighs. "Fine. Just tell me where you're taking me."
"Why, to our leader of course!" The buccaneer answers with vigor.
Franchesco raises an eyebrow. "Oh yeah, and who's your leader?"
The guy with the eyepatch points his sword at Franchesco. "Stop askin' questions!" He shouts.
Franchesco rolls his eyes at this bravado. "Fine."
"Yar she blows!" The pirate driving the ship exclaims.
"Yar!" The rest of the pirates yell out in response.
"Ugh, this oughtta be good." Franchesco says sarcastically as the leader boards the ship. It's a familiar looking redhead in a green dress known as Hayley.
"Hello, Franny. Miss me?" She says in a tone that indicates that she's slightly annoyed with him.
"Hey, aren't you the computer lady?"
Hayley sighs. "I'm more than just the computer lady around here. I'm the ai who controls this whole damn building!"
"Okay, alright. Sorry! Now, what is your deal? Why do you have me here?" Franchesco questions her.
"Hayley looks slightly more upset when she says. "My "deal" is that you have been breaking the rules. You were supposed to be an intern here, not a pseudo contestant."
"Yeah well, no one told me that I can't." Franchesco points out.
Hayley looks even more angry when she says "That's the whole point! That imbecile Chris is to blame. He just forgot that you were supposed to be an intern. When I asked him about it he said "nah, it's okay bro!" So infuriating!"
Franchesco scratches his head. "So let me guess, that was against the rules, right?"
"Right," Hayley sighs, "and I'm going to have to punish you and Sunny for it."
The look on Franchesco's face goes from annoyed to concerned. "What are you going to do to Sunny?"
"Oh don't worry, she'll just get a penalty for every challenge that you were there with her, along with everyone else who you were with along the way. You however will be getting a more harsh penalty."
Franchesco gulps as Hayley gets closer to him.
/
Meanwhile, Qwynn and Elizabeth were out patrolling the perimeter.
"So, what do we do about Maria?" Elizabeth asked.
"Well, we need to find some dirt on her first." Qwynn responds. "I've been watching her a bit closer ever since we became alliance partners, and I say we find out what that is first. Then if it's damning enough, then we've got our bait."
"That sounds smart, but don't you think…" before Elizabeth can finish, Phoebe pops out of nowhere and grabs her and Qwynn by the hand.
"There you two are!" Phoebe shouts out at both of them.
"Phoebe?" A surprised and confused Qwynn says to her. "What is this about?"
"No time to talk" Phoebe says with urgency, "I need you all here now!"
"Where?" Elizabeth asks before getting pulled by Phoebe to wherever it was she was taking her and Qwynn.
Cuts to all of the Bellhops and Lightning in one place with phoebe in the middle of it.
"What did you need me here for?" An annoyed Liz asks.
"Yeah, what's the big sha-deal?" Lighting questions.
"You took me out of a massage for some team meeting?" An annoyed Sunny says to Phoebe.
"We want answers!" Regina shouts.
"You want answers? Oh, I'll give you answers, or rather, he will!" Phoebe points at Qwynn.
"Me?" Qwynn points at himself. "What answers could I possibly give?"
"First, is this yours?" Phoebe reaches into her hoodie pocket and pulls out Qwynn's notebook.
Qwynn sweats. "Um…yes."
Phoebe opens up the journal to a random page. "And is it true that you wrote, and I quote that Andrew has a serious addiction problem?"
Qwynn's face turns red. "Um…yes, but..."
"No buts" Phoebe stops him from saying anything else. "Is it also true that you wrote that Liz probably has a Napoleon complex?"
Qwynn sighs as he realizes that he's powerless in this situation. "Yes."
"Finally, is all the stuff that you wrote about me true? How I need help? How it's like I'm two people at once? How I need to see a doctor?" Phoebe tears up as she says that final part.
"Phoebe, I…"
"Don't Phoebe I me! You wrote all these nasty things about people!" She throws the journal in his face. "I need a minute." Phoebe runs off, only for Libby to look back at the scene and smirk as she whispers "Mission accomplished." She takes out another piece of gum to celebrate.
Confessional: Liz
"Huh, that's some pretty useful information to me. If Qwynn has notes on everybody do you know the type of damage I could do?" She grins evilly. "Of course he did say that I have a Napoleon complex, but who cares? I need to set up an alliance with him in short order!"
Confessional over
Andrew, Regina, and Sunny all glare at Qwynn angrily.
"I can't believe you said that about me!" Andrew yells.
"Yeah, that's just plain rude!" Sunny points at Qwynn. "You should be ashamed of yourself!"
"Don't even get me started on what you said about poor old Phoebe!" Regina shakes her fist at him.
"Hey, not all of the stuff I put in there was like that, okay? I will admit, some of the things I wrote down, maybe could've been better, but some of the things I wrote about you guys weren't all bad."
Just then, Tyson steps in front of Qwynn to defend him. "Hey, back off of him. If he said that not everything he wrote wasn't bad, I for one believe him."
"Come on, let's get out of here." Qwynn whispers in Elizabeth's ear.
Qwynn and Elizabeth rush to a safe place for them to talk over in a corner.
"What do we do now?" Elizabeth panics. "I mean that was a pretty big bombshell that Phoebe dropped. You will probably get eliminated unless we do something about it."
Qwynn sighs and puts his hands on his face. He thinks for a second before saying "We have to frame Tyson for this loss."
"Really?" Elizabeth scratches her head, "but he was the only one who stood up for you."
"I know that, but Andrew is not going to vote for Sunny and vice versa, I'm not going to do that to someone I just gave a signet ring to, no one is going to vote for Phoebe at this rate, and Liz is too big of a threat at this point. It's our only other option. I don't want to do this either, but unfortunately, we have to. Desperate times call for desperate measures."
Just then, they notice someone from the Terrors in their diving suit cutting a hole in the glass casing. "And I think I know just how." Qwynn states.
/
Meanwhile, Rival nervously put on his head gear, as he and Maria were the last ones out of the sub.
"I don't know if I can do this." Rival sighs.
"It's okay, I'll be right there with you." Maria grabs his arm.
"Oh, alright." Rival puts on his breathing apparatus. He then stares down at the water.
"Are you okay?" She asks him.
"Yeah, I guess." He snaps out of it. "Let's just go."
"Alright." Maria jumps down into the water with Rival following her soon thereafter.
Maria holds his hand as they both make it to the glass covering. Maria cuts the hole in the glass, which causes water to flood through the hole right after. Rival flails his arms as he panics. Maria pulls him through the hole to save him.
"There, was that so bad?" She asks as she gets up.
Rival blushes as he takes off his breathing apparatus. "N-No."
"Come on now, let's go." She grabs his arm and they go to find Lightning.
/
"Sha-man, that was rough." Lightning says with Sunny and Andrew right beside him.
"Yeah I know. What Qwynn did was messed up." She replies.
"I mean I know I already told everyone about my secret, but hearing like that just hurts." Andrew says.
"No, I mean how that guy pulled us out of a massage just to tell us that." Lightning says to Sunny, which shocks her.
Sunny stares at him with a confused and angry look on her face. "Seriously? Is that what you think?"
"Huh, what?" Lightning looks back at her. "I wasn't paying sha-attention."
Andrew is steaming with rage when he says "This is the guy that you dumped me for?" To Sunny.
Sunny is beside herself at this point. "Did I really…hurt your feelings?"
"Yes!" Andrew shouts back at her.
"Oh, I'm sorry, it's just he's so…and you're…you know what, I'm sorry. Here, let me make it up to you!" She goes over to Lighting and tells him "You know, you're a jerk! I don't know what I ever saw in you!" Before turning back to Andrew and saying "Come on, let's go!" And holding out her hand for him. Sunny and Andrew leave him there.
"Sha-whatever, I don't need you! I'm Lightning freaking Jackson! Winner of Revenge of…um Revenge of…whatever, like I said, I don't need you!" Lightning turns around and walks in the other direction, where he finds Elizabeth and Tyson waiting for him. "Ah!" Lightning is caught off guard by their presence, but he quickly regains his composure.
"Oh, I'm sorry for scaring you." Tyson apologizes.
"I totally wasn't sha-scared of you two!" He says as as he takes some deep breaths from being scared. "Now, what do you two sha-want?"
"Someone's gotta look after you." Elizabeth puts her arm around him. "And who better to do it than the two most athletic people on the team?"
"Eh," Lightning shrugs his shoulders, "I guess that makes sense, but don't worry, I think I can handle my sha-selllllllllllll…" Just then, Lightning is grabbed by Deon and Laurie, who each carry him away. Elizabeth and Tyson each run after him.
"That way!" Deon and Laurie turn a corner.
"Sha-Hey, let go of me!" Right then they run into Regina.
"Oh no you don't!" Regina uses her purse to trip Deon up, with Elizabeth and Tyson catching up to them. From the shadows, Qwynn can be seen nodding to Elizabeth, she nods back.
"Don't worry, we've got you!" Tyson picks Lightning up.
"Sh-thanks, that was close!" Just then, Deon and Laurie get back up and again grab Lightning. Tyson tries to pull him back, but he slips, due to his shoes which were mysteriously tied together.
"What happened?" Regina asks as she catches up with Elizabeth and Tyson.
"He let them get away!" Elizabeth points at Tyson.
Regina turns to Tyson. "Is that what happened here?"
Tyson frowns. "Yeah, sorta." He admits.
"Well," Regina sighs "at least we still have a chance."
Just then, Hayley appears in hologram form in front of the three. "And the Terrors win!" She announces.
"Well, so much for that. Here, let me help you up." Elizabeth grabs him by the arm.
"I'll go tell everyone." Regina says before walking away.
Just then, Tyson looks down at his shoes and his eyes widened. "You!" He points at her.
Elizabeth's face says it all as she runs away. She looks back at him with an expression of remorse and regret as Tyson just scowls back at her.

"Qwynn!" Tyson yells as he runs to the writer.
A shocked Qwynn tries to maintain his composure as he turns around. "Yes?"
"It's Elizabeth, she set me up!" Tyson exclaims.
"Oh, really?" Qwynn does his best fake surprised look. "She did?"
"Yeah, she tied my shoes together! Can you tell everyone?"
Qwynn's heart skips a beat, but in the end he says "Yeah, totally."
"Thanks bro, you're a lifesaver!" Tyson says before running off.
Qwynn puts his hands on his head and asks himself "What have I done?" As he clearly feels the guilt.

"Do it!" Libby commands Phoebe.
"No!" Phoebe resists.
"Do it!"
"No!"
"Fine." Libby takes out the sweater and starts to tear it.
"Oh, alright!"

At the elimination ceremony, everyone was quiet. "What's with all the long faces?" Hayley breaks the silence. Everyone just stared back at her with disinterest, so Hayley just says "Okay fine, let's just get this over with. Phoebe and Regina, here are your cards."
Phoebe doesn't even make an attempt at catching her card as it flies right past her.
"Thanks, I guess." Regina answers as she grabs hers.
"Andrew, you had an…interesting day to say the least, but at least you didn't get any votes, so here's your card." Hayley announces.
"Phew" Andrew wipes the sweat off his forehead as he catches his card.
Hayley then turns her attention to Elizabeth, Liz, Qwynn, Tyson, and Sunny. "Now," she says with a very stern face, "You guys are the bottom five for a reason. Qwynn, you are starting to make some enemies."
Qwynn gulps.
"Liz, you got into an argument with Sunny today."
"Hmph!" Liz folds her arms. "It was her fault!"
"Hey!" Sunny yells back at her. "You wanted to leave Franchesco for dead!"
"You should be the one to talk, since that and falling for those mermen didn't help your case today."
"Oop!" Sunny turns to the rest of her teammates. "Yeah, I'm sorry about that." She admits.
"And Elizabeth, you apparently did something to warrant a vote."
"Just give me my card already!" Elizabeth says in an annoyed voice.
"Not yet" Hayley responds, to which Elizabeth rolls her eyes at.
"But you Tyson, you let the other team get away."
"Look, I said I was sorry!" He responds back.
"Regardless, Liz and Sunny, here are your cards."
Sunny and Liz both exchange angry glares at each other as they catch their cards.
"Next, Elizabeth, here's your card."
"Hah, kew I wasn't in any real danger." Elizabeth proudly states as she catches her card. Tyson sneers at this.
"Now as for you two," Hayley catches the attention of everyone, "you are the bottom two. Qwynn, you had some pretty damning evidence revealed about you today, what with you writing down everyone's secrets and all."
Qwynn gulps as he sweats like a pig.
"And Tyson, you let the other team get away."
Qwynn and Tyson both stare at each other nervously as the tension builds.
"The final card goes to…"

"Qwynn."
"Phew." Qwynn wipes the sweat from his face as he catches his card. He then turns to Tyson and says "Sorry buddy. Guess today just wasn't your lucky day."
Tyson turns to Qwynn with a happy smile on his face. "It's okay bro, I understand. Sometimes you just can't win them all."
Qwynn is shocked by this reaction. "You mean you're not even upset?" The writer asks the jock.
"Oh no, I am a little upset, but it's fine. I'll get over it."
This response causes Qwynn to give Tyson a big friendly hug. "I'm sure you will, buddy. I'm sure you will." You can see the tears and the look of guilt in Qwynn's face as he hugs Tyson.
Tyson whispers in Qwynn's ear "At least I know that you did your best to save me bro." Those words only twist the metaphorical dagger in Qwynn's heart just a little bit more.
"Alright, time's up," Chef announces. "Let's just get this over with."
Qwynn quickly wipes the tears from his eyes before he turns away from Tyson and says "right" and backs away.
"Oh yeah, I almost forgot." Tyson puts his safety gear on before Chef pulls the lever. "You've got this broooooooooooooooo!" Tyson exclaims as he crashes through the window and gets flinged out of the hotel. Qwynn tries to hold back some more tears as he does so.
Confessional: Qwynn
Qwynn is straight up crying his eyes out in the confessional. He's trying to hold back tears, but he's losing that battle. "Tyson," he yells out, "if you're watching this, I'm sorry buddy! I never wanted to have to do this to you, but I was in a tight spot. I had no other choices. You understand, right? Right?" He tries to reason with himself

The camera pans to Hayley, who as per usual, gives the outro. "Well, well, well, that was a sad elimination. At least I think so, I wouldn't know because I don't have human emotions. Anyways, it looks like the drama is just starting to heat up. Hope it doesn't overheat. Some people are getting closer as others are growing farther apart. What will happen next time? How will I punish Franchesco and everyone that was involved in that scandal? All these questions and more will be answered next time on TOTAL DRAMA HOTEL MADNESS!"

AN: With apologies to KadachiNova, this elimination should come as no surprise, as he was the least involved in any plots. I did what I could with Tyson, had some fun writing him, (the song with him and Kevin in episode 4 especially had me laughing out loud) but at the end of the day, I knew that he wouldn't make the merge. He just doesn't stick out as much as the others do. Thanks Bad for giving me some good ideas for this episode. Also, after the next episode, I have an announcement to make, but those of you who are in my discord server already know what it is. ;) Anyways, catch you later. Daring out!
Daring's tip: ROCK ON!
