"I remember this episode," Scott said.

"You okay?" Cameron asked.

"Let's just say we're about to relive something embarrassing," Scott answered.

"What could Scott mean by that?" Brick asked.

"Looks like we're about to find out," Jo said.

The episode begins with all the contestants' morning routines.

In the Toxic Rats' girls' cabin, Dawn is seen hanging upside down talking to a blue bird, while Dakota asks her to keep her voice down, complaining about needing more beauty sleep, saying she will lose it.

Dawn: (talking to a bird) Really? Oh, no!

"What did the bird say?" Mike asked.

"A sign of embarrassment was fast approaching," Dawn answered.

"Neither of you two were wrong about that," Scott said.

"I feel like I'm not gonna like how I get embarrassed," Brick said.

"Me neither," Jo said.

"I don't think any of us will," Cameron said.

Dakota: (to Dawn) Will you keep it down? If I don't get my beauty sleep, I'll lose it!

"She's right," Sam said. "It even did a number to her eyes."

"What happened to your eyes?" Anne Maria asked.

"I hope it's nothing that bad," Mike said.

"Unfortunately, it did become bad," Dakota said. "Keep watching and you'll find out."

"Alright," the others said.

It is one thing in which Dawn agrees, saying that Dakota's need for fame is really a depressed cry for love, creeping Dakota out.

Dawn: Yes. Because your need for fame is really a depressed cry for love.

"Alright," Dakota said. "I never really had a boyfriend before meeting Sam. I was busy making small cameos on TV shows."

"You have a great boyfriend now," Sam said.

"Thanks," Dakota said.

She then gave Sam a kiss.

"Aww," the others said.

"Okay," Dakota said. "We get it."

Dakota: Who told you that? My therapist?!

"I forgot about your aura powers," Dakota said.

"It's okay, Dakota," Dawn said. "We were just getting to know each other. The bird even said Chris was gonna turn that into a cringe-ish laugh."

"It's always Chris," Scott said.

"As if what he did in the first episode was bad enough," Mike said.

"I know," Dakota said.

Dawn: I can read people's auras, and it looks like someone threw up on yours. Dakota sighed.

"Alright," she said. "On one of the shows I made a cameo in, one of the cast members wanted to ask me out. I said yes only to find he cheated on me. Only a few loyal fans stood by me after that. Everyone else was just laughing at me."

"Man," Zoey said. "It stinks being treated like a punching bag."

"I can see why Gwen didn't wanna come back because of it," Jo said.

"Now Courtney and Heather won't return either," Mike said.

Meanwhile, on the boys' side, Sam and Lightning catch Scott coming back to the cabin.

Lightning: Where have you been, man?

"What happened to you?" Dawn asked.

"You was really out all night?" Jo responded.

"Not all night," Scott answered. "I was up early looking for immunity."

"That's not what you told me and Lightning," Sam said. "I thought you were making out."

"Yeah," Dakota said. "I was thinking that a little myself."

Scott lies to them by saying that he was making out with one of the girls.

When they asked which one, Scott responds by saying "a gentleman never kisses and tells."

Not familiar with the phrase, a confused Sam asks Scott if he "kissed a gentleman."

"I didn't really get that phrase," Sam said.

"I don't reveal secrets to you," Scott said.

"What about you trying to kiss Gwen's friends?" Zoey asked.

"That was a mistake," Scott said. "I'll explain why after this ends."

Scott: *In the Confessional* All right, I was out looking for that hidden immunity idol, not that they need to know. It's all part of my strategy: Let my team lose, so the Maggots develop a false sense of security before I pick them off!

Those who were on the Maggots were peeved about it.

"You son of a bitch," Jo said.

"Why would you make your team lose on purpose like that?" Cameron asked.

"Don't worry," Dawn said. "Chris was able to give Scott his comeuppance for lying to Sam and trying to purposely take one for the team."

"Let's hope so," Sam said. "I don't like how Scott lied to me."

Meanwhile, in the Mutant Maggots' girls' cabin, Anne Maria is blow drying her hair, which confuses Zoey.

"She has a blow dryer with her?" Brick asked.

"I love to keep my hair well done," Anne Maria said.

Zoey: (to Anne Maria) Hey. How'd you sneak that in?

"We didn't even see it," Jo said.

"None of us did," Cameron said. "That's a pretty cool trick."

"I wouldn't call it a trick," Anne Maria said.

Anne Maria: (referring to her hairdryer) Easy! I stuck it in my pouf. (takes out a can of hairspray and starts spraying her pouf)

"I don't know why, but doing that reminds me of that Pinkie Pie chick," Anne Maria said.

"From Equestria Girls?" Cameron asked.

"Yeah," Anne Maria answered. "That girl's so silly."

"I know," Dakota said. "Rarity's just as cute. I would love to meet her."

"I'd rather meet Twilight Sparkle," Cameron said. "Maybe we work on a new recycling project together."

"If that was me, I'm making my playdate with Rainbow Dash," Jo said.

"And mine would be with Fluttershy," Dawn said.

"She's an eco kid just like me."

On the guys' side, Mike talks to Chester in his sleep, while Cameron turns his sleeping bag into his protective bubble to help him sleep.

"You have your own sleeping bag?" Jo asked.

"Give him a break," Anne Maria said. "He was probably too nervous to use the beds already there."

"Maybe a little," Cameron said. "I was like a bubble boy back in the day."

Cameron: (confessional) I had a hard time falling asleep. It was my first night outside my bubble. But finally, I recreated it with my sleeping bag, and I was out like that! What an adventure.

"I bet it was," Mike said.

"Next time we go camping, we should try that," Jo said.

"I hope there's a sports field for me," Jo said.

"Still like staying athletic, don't you?" Sam asked.

"And competitive," Brick said.

"I'm not that competitive," Jo said.

"Back then, you were," Brick commented. "Prepare yourselves for why."

Outside, Jo and Brick we're doing morning runs.

Brick: *In the confessional* My biggest competition is probably Jo. Yeah, good thing we're on the same team! Like my drill sergeant always says, 'Keep your enemies close and your rivals closer!' Wait, I did that wrong. 'Keep your family close and your enemy at arm's length!' Uh, no, no, no, hold on…

"Don't worry, Brick," Mike said. "We know what you meant."

"Thanks," Brick said. "Still gonna be a day full of embarrassment, and here comes my first serving."

"First serving?" Sam asked.

Then, as a chocolate-eating squirrel stares and laughs at both of them as Brick and Jo accidentally crash into each other. They get competitive, bragging about who ran more or harder.

"Yeah," Dawn said. "That's got to be embarrassing."

"Were you two okay?" Zoey asked.

"We were fine," Jo said.

"Still unbelievable that our season was only 13 episodes," Mike said.

"I know," Zoey said. "Some of this stuff would've been awesome to share with in those Aftermath shows."

"I wish they did bring the Aftermath shows back," Sam said.

Jo: Just did my morning 5K run. You?

Brick: 8K.

Jo: I mean, I did an 8K warm-up, then 5K at a full sprint.

"What I tell ya?" Brick asked. "Full of competitive spirit, especially with me."

"I've learned to tone that down," Jo protested.

"We even learned to be better as friends than enemies," Brick said.

"We're glad you did," Cameron said.

The 3 of them gave each other a high 5.

Brick: My entire run was uphill.

Jo: Yeah, uphill with my eyes shut!

Brick: I ran backwards with earplugs!

Everyone laughed at that.

"Ear Plugs?" Mike asked.

"It was foolish at the time," Brick said.

"Sure it was," Dawn said.

Jo: Why earplugs?

Brick: (foolishly) I don't know!

"I said it was foolish," Brick said. "Hard to make friends with someone just as competitive as you so quickly."

"Barely anything done these days is easy," Dakota said. "I see you were willing to put in the work."

"He sure did," Jo said, hugging Brick.

Jo: Team Maggot is lucky to have us. We won the challenge yesterday. We'll carry them all the way to victory.

"You and Brick carried the whole show for the first few episodes," Mike said.

"I agree," Dakota said. "It's almost as if Season 4 was becoming your own show."

Everyone laughed again.

"Maybe we should have our own show," Jo said.

"That would be quite unique," Brick said. "We should try it out."

Jo: I'll carry them to victory! I'm just being nice so that aptly named clump of cadet meat will be loyal, but when the time comes…(breaks a twig) Ow! Splinter! You little—!

"I hate getting splinters in my fingers," Jo said.

"That's some ugly cringe," Sam said.

"I know," Jo said.

Chris: It's time for today's challenge!

Lightning: (horrified) What? But Lightning hasn't had his DPA!

"DPA?" Jo asked. "Is it good?"

"It's some type of food according to Lightning," Sam answered.

"I love protein," Jo said.

"Those shakes are delicious," Brick said.

"And granola," Dawn added. "Packs a crunchy punch," Mike said.

"I should've got some if I knew that was gonna be brought up," Anne Maria said.

Sam: Huh?

Lightning: Daily protein allotment. Duh.

Dakota: And I haven't had enough beauty sleep.

"She's right," Dawn said. "Most teenagers need 7 to 9 hours of sleep to feel the best."

"I only got 5 thanks to you guys," Dakota said.

"It couldn't be that bad," Mike said.

"Yeah," Zoey said. "We've seen worse things happen to you."

"I agree," Jo said. "What could be so bad?"

Sam: Come on, you look -

Dakota: (takes off sunglasses)

Sam: Great sons of Orion!

"What happened?" Zoey asked.

"My eyes were blood red," Dakota said.

"And they looked like they were about to blow out of her face," Sam said.

He showed them a picture of it.

"Holy fucking cow!" Jo said.

"That's horrible," Mike said. "Can't believe keeping Dakota up like that made us all look like bitches."

"Sorry Dakota," Anne Maria said.

"Usually, I'm more quiet than that," Dawn said.

Chris then sent the players to a certain "bay" for the first challenge.

Chris: Right this way to the bay of dismay!

"Normally, I enjoy a good stroll along the bay," Mike said. "But that one doesn't sound so good."

"It's Chris," Anne Maria reminded Mike. "Of course it isn't gonna be good."

Along the way, Dakota is shown on her phone, indicating she's going to a bay, while Sam is seen playing with his video game system, both of which are confiscated, which leads to both of them suffering from withdrawal.

"No fair!" Dakota said.

"Did he not want us playing with technology that much?" Sam asked.

"Well," Cameron said. "Too much screen time does a cringy number on your eyes."

"It was still rude," Jo said.

"No kidding," Zoey said. "That was really upsetting."

Meanwhile, Zoey and Mike bonded over action movies.

Mike: (to Zoey) If you're into ultimate kickboxing, I may have to marry you.

"And you did marry her," Scott said.

"Heck yeah, I did," Mike said.

"I couldn't have picked a better person to marry," Zoey said.

The 2 of them shared a kiss, much to their embarrassment and the others' pleasure.

Sam: Hey, Dakota, sorry about before! I was just so taken by your beautiful...nostrils.

"Nostrils?" everyone asked Sam.

Sam: *In the confessional* 'Nostrils'? 'Nostrils'?

"I had no idea what to say back then," Sam said. "I just really like Dakota. She's really cute."

Then he and Dakota kissed. Dakota thought it was just as much of a compliment now as it was back then.

Cameron: (to Jo) I hope this isn't another physical challenge. I prefer something a little more...academic.

"Why can't certain challenges rely on more brain power?" Cameron asked the others.

"I know," Dawn said. "It takes more than just brawn to get far in life."

"That's so true," Brick said.

Anne Maria: (to B) So, what do you think the challenge is gonna be?

B: (stays silent)

"I wish I knew why he stays silent," Jo said.

"Me too," Anne Maria said. "I swear, that dude had laryngitis."

"Laryngitis?" Scott asked.

"What other reason would there be?" Anne Maria asked.

Anne Maria: You don't talk much, do you?

"It does look that way from your perspective," Jo said.

The competition takes place out in the bay in the form of a quiz show, a challenge called the "Getting to know you Trivia Game," in which the contestants are strapped into their seats tightly with children-sized harnesses.

Chris: Welcome to the getting to know you, trivia game challenge. Everyone strapped in all nice and snug?

"At least some type of safety is plugged in here," Jo said.

"It does help to get to know fellow players more," Mike said.

"It's pretty cool," Mike said. "I can't wait to see what facts about us he shares with us."

"You know he'll just do it to embarrass us," Scott said.

Scott: Too snug, it's cutting into my shoulder.

"He could've loosened it a bit," Mike said.

"Or get harnesses that actually fit us," Scott said. "I almost got a pain in my shoulder there."

Chris: Yeah, child safety harnesses will do that to you. Hehe, I'll be asking our players embarrassing personal questions, and I mean major humiliating. If the player who I'm talking about gets the poorly wired buzzer, owns their humiliation before the time runs out, their team gets a point. First team to five wins part one, and a distinct advantage in part two. But, if no one owns up, this happens. (presses button that drops the Mutant Maggots into the shark infested waters)

"Why are there sharks down there?" Dakota asked.

"That's still my pet peeve," Scott said. "That's why I don't go fishing that much."

"No way I wanted to get bitten," Cameron said.

"Me neither," Zoey said. "They look really scary."

The game began.

Chris: Who did this on the one and only date they'd ever had.

[A fart noise is heard, everyone except Sam laughs.]

"We were at a Mexican hangout spot," Sam said. "Guess that was one taco too many."

Except for Sam, everyone laughed.

"You think?" Brick asked.

"Stay away from tacos for a while," Dakota said to Sam. "We don't need you doing that again."

"I agree," Anne Maria said.

Sam: Where did you get that?

"How was he able to find that?" Scott asked.

Chris: Who wet their pants on the first and last day of school?

"I would never do anything that silly," Dakota said.

"I'm innocent!" Mike said.

Mike: Whoa! One of us is a pants wetter.

"Definitely wasn't me," Sam said.

Jo: He who sweats it, wets it.

"You saying it was Lightning?" Cameron asked.

"Not really," Jo said. "Though I wouldn't be surprised if it was like that."

"Who would?" Dawn asked.

Brick: Fine! It was me!

The game was tied at one a piece. Everyone except Brick laughed.

"My school was facing a blackout," Brick said. "My fear of the dark is why I did it."

More laughter busted out.

"Sam!" Brick said.

"What?" Sam asked.

"You didn't like it when everyone laughed at you for farting on a date," Brick told him. "Do you and the others think it's alright to laugh at my pants wetting habit?"

"Brick's right," Jo said. "Sorry Brick, but it was just so funny."

"Not to me," Brick said.

Everyone else apologized for laughing. Next up, a member of the Rats must confess whose name is actually Beverly. Brick admits that isn't even a question, thinking it's a girl's name, until B presses the button, confessing.

"His name is Beverly?" Brick asked in shock.

"Oh!" Jo started.

"My!" Cameron added.

"God!" Sam finished.

"Why would he have a girl's name?" Mike asked.

"Quite fascinating," Scott said.

Unfortunately, because it wasn't a verbal response, the rats were dunked into the water.

[Fang eats Scott when the Rats are lifted back up as Scott screams and fights Fang]

"Thanks a lot," Scott said.

"You're welcome," Jo said.

"That's what you get for laughing at me farting," Sam said.

"And me wetting my pants," Brick added.

"Why didn't I see that coming?" Scott asked.

Scott: No! Wait for me! [he breaks free and swims to the surface; confessional and pulls a shark tooth from his leg] Ow! What the, a shark tooth?

"Ooh!" Everyone winced.

"I heard of taking a bite out of crime," Mike said. "But nothing like that."

[Fang uses the confessional, uses a mirror seeing his tooth gone, growls and breaks the mirror]

"7 years bad luck," Jo said.

"No superstitions are interfering here, Jo," Anne Maria said.

"Sorry about that," Jo said. "But you know it's true."

Back on the surface, some of the contestants get heated over who should bail out.

Chris: Alright! Shut it! Thanks to that diable digression now, we don't have enough time to finish this challenge! Happy?

"Yeah!" Everyone except Jo said.

[everyone talks at once]

"Glad that's over," Mike said. "That was really embarrassing."

Jo: Quitters!

"Hey!" Scott said. "What if Chris asked about you trying to look girly by wearing a dress?"

"I would feel embarrassed," Jo said.

"Exactly," Scott said. "Not even I could stand through that."

Chris: Well. You won't be happy for long. Come back after the break where I came up with a whole new challenge, in which there is no escape! And in the meantime. [presses the buttons, dunking everyone in the water]

"Seriously?" several people asked.

"I'm starting to regret signing up for Total Drama," Brick said.

"Me too," Anne Maria said. Afterwards, the contestants are now seen heading to the location of the replacement challenge. While Cameron was pleased with the other challenge ending, Jo wanted to know what his might have been.

Jo: I wish I got to know your question. It may have been "Who needs their diaper changed?"

Cameron admits he has not worn a diaper since he was eleven, causing her and Anne Maria to laugh at him. Some of those watching laughed.

"That's not cool," Cameron said.

"Yeah," Dawn said. "Remember what happened when Chris did that to Brick and Sam?"

"I'm letting this one slide," Cameron said. "I was giggling a little myself in my sleep."

That made them giggle even more.

"You ain't the only one out there doing that," Jo said.

Cameron: *In the Confessional* (sucking his thumb) Why did I say that?! Why?!

Challenge number 2 was an obstacle course.

"Piece of cake," Jo said. "I can run those anyday."

"Have fun trying," Scott said.

"Heck yeah I will," Jo said.

Both teams were also given blurry glasses so they can't see well. By way of batons, the teams were given their team mascots: a mutant maggot and rat.

"The glasses, I get," Anne Maria said. "But no way am I dealing with a rat."

"Lucky," Scott said.

The race was on. Anne Maria and Lightning begin the relay race by getting kicked by a giant boot, as Lightning falls off as the rat bites his butt while Anne Maria successfully gives Brick the maggot.

"This is not like any obstacle course I experienced," Brick said.

"Were you gonna wet your pants from anxiety too?" Cameron asked.

"Cameron!" Brick said.

"I was joking," Cameron protested.

"I thought it was funny," Jo said.

"Of course you would," Brick said.

As the race continued, the maggot reached Zoey, who starts running, until the beavers are angered once the fake beaver's head falls off, chewing down on the wood that makes Zoey fall.

"Man," Jo said. "Working with animals was a big mistake."

"Remind me to make adjustments during the next film I make," Dawn said.

"We will," Mike said.

Zoey tries to reach Mike, who helps her up, having a romantic moment where they stare at each other, until the maggot vomits on Mike's face while the beaver reaches Zoey. As MIke runs, another of his personalities is revealed: a gymnast named Svetlana, who successfully gives Cameron the maggot, as Mike does not realize what just happened.

"What the fuck?" Jo asked.

"Disgusting," Dakota said.

"I hate when they do that on other people's faces," Mike said.

Cameron then added, "Meanwhile, was that Svetlana girl another one of your alter egos?"

Mike nodded yes, which shocked everyone.

"How many of those do you have?" Jo asked.

"Unbelievable," Zoey said.

When it got to the end, a distraction Dakota made left Cameron to win, which he did.

"You won the challenge," Mike said.

"Great job, Cameron," Dakota said to him.

"Thanks," Cameron said. "My first victory in a race. Just glorious."

At the elimination ceremony, the rats were discussing who to get rid of.

Scott: Alright, guys, Dakota's gotta go. She's only in it for the photo-op.

"Really?" Dakota asked.

"It's true," Scott said.

"Looking back," Mike said. "Dawn was right about you."

Sam: Aww, hang on guys. I mean, sure, she seems easily distracted but she's also a 10th-level hottie; uh not that that's important or anything. Let's give her a chance.

"That's one reason to love Sam," Dakota said. "He always stood up for me."

Dawn: A great darkness is surrounding Dakota. If she stays on the island, disaster will befall her.

"And it did befall her," Dawn said. "But I'm not spoiling how or what."

Lightning: Sh-please! I think you should all take the boot after today's performance.

Dakota: (to Chris) No! This has to be a mistake! I didn't get my spin-off series yet!

"Did you ever get your spin off, yet?" Mike asked.

"I did," Dakota answered. "I'm glad I did."

Everyone hugged Dakota.

"Thanks guys," she said. "And sorry for costing some of you the challenge."

Those who were on Dakota's team at the time forgave her, while the others showed sympathy and understood.

[Dakota got eliminated because she cost her team the win by being too distracted by the paparazzi]

Chris: [As Dakota was in the Hurl of Shame] Any final words, Dakota?

Dakota: Umm. Yeah! First of all... [Before she can say another word, she gets flung away]

"I was gonna ask if Sam will be okay," Dakota said.

"I was," Sam said. "Until I was eliminated."

Chris: It was a rhetorical question?

The episode ended.

"It really stinks seeing you leave like that," Sam said.

"I know," Dakota said. "So Scott, was it really a mistake?"

"What was?" Scott asked.

"You kissing Gwen's friends," Cameron said.

"Yes," Scott said. "We both fell from the stairs, and by accident, our lips touched. I don't know what I was thinking asking Courtney out like that."

Everyone laughed about it.

"Guess I did have that coming," Scott said.

The others unanimously agreed. Up next: Ice Ice Baby.

Author's note: Just 2 more episodes before the first break. The 2nd will be after episode 8, and the last will be after the finale.
