"Last time on Total Drama Lights Camera Finale," Casey spoke, standing inside the VR soundstage. Flashbacks begin to occur of the previous episode as she gives narration.
"After Axel's elimination, it seemed like the Freezing Grips were starting to settle with each other comfortably albeit some tensions between Knick, Jett, Daniela, and Kristie. With the Blazing Gaffers, the team found more bonding moments. Edgar with the boys. Janet with some of the girls. Of course, we can't forget the new spicy couple that is Buck and Niu."
"The challenge Chef presented was a horror mix musical theme. Some of the contestants showed sweet dancing skills like Sua, Jett, and Melissa. Others were completely terrified when encountering the killers like Georgia. In the end, the Freezing Grips lost for the third time in a row."
"During the elimination ceremony, Jett probably made the stupidest move in Total Drama history. How will he bounce back from that?"
The flashbacks end. Casey is sitting on a gaming chair under a VR headset that is hung from the ceiling thanks to a durable cable. She puts on the headset with her gorgeous happy smile.
"Find out now on Total… Drama…" Electricity coming from the headset shocks Casey.
Chris is heard chuckling off-screen until a camera shows him at the desk full of computers. "Oops, did I forget to mention some of the headsets are malfunctioning? My bad," He faked his apology. He looks at the camera to finish her co-host's sentence. "Light, Camera, Finale!"
The theme song for Total Drama has an orchestral vibe to it while still being groovy. A camera pops out of the entrance to the Crowstillo Caverns from Crowstillo Island. Another camera pops out from a carnival booth. Then one shows itself from a clothes racket at the film lot. A smooth transition occurs on Camp Wawanakwa's high cliff. The camera drone dives into the water around the cliff, creating a splash.
Dear mom and dad, I'm doing fine
The full cast of Total Drama Island is shown inside the dodgeball court. Everyone is throwing dodgeballs at each other. It looks to be the Screaming Gophers on the left side of the court facing the Killer Bass on the right side of the court. Teens throw and get hit. Owen throws a fastball.
You guys are on my mind
The fast-moving dodgeball transitions to a tire. The camera pans out to show Duncan driving the Action Cast in a tram. He looks to be annoyed by Courtney's talking. This distracts him and crashes the tram with him and the cast into something off-screen. The smoke released from the tram enlarges.
You asked me what I wanted to be,
The smoke disappears to show the jumbo jet soaring in the sky.
and I think the answer is plain to see
The World Tour Cast jumps out of the jumbo jet with parachute bags. Alejandro winks at the audience before deploying his parachute. Quick zoom on the parachute.
I wanna be famous!
The parachute descends to show Cameron in his robotic suit fighting Lightning who has armor and carrying a mannequin leg with spikes at the 'coliseum' Chris build. The rest of the Revenge Cast are sitting at the bleachers cheering for either combatant. The fight ends when Cameron charges a ball of electricity on his iron suit's right fist and shoots at the camera. Though, it is clear it is for Lighting from the athlete's person of view.
I wanna live close to the sun
It is night and the blue madness full moon is glowing brightly. Mike inhales and turns into Mal. Someone throws Mr. Coconut at Mal's head off-screen to bring Mike back in control.
Go pack your bags, 'cause I've already won
The camera pans to the right to show who throw Mr. Coconut. It is Zoey, who is smiling happily at getting her boyfriend back. The rest of the All-Stars cast is running away in the background from rabid fluffy rabbits.
Everything to prove, nothing in my way
Another transition displays itself. The Pahkitew Cast is inside the labyrinth of the artificial island running away from the scuba-bear and a mechanical orange cat. The cat stops to breathe fire from its mouth.
I'll get there one day
The fire stops and the next part shows the finalists of Crowstillo Island trying to complete the obstacle course. The rest of the cast is cheering for their favorite at the peanut gallery. Knick, Saraphina, and Casey take out one of their accessory clothes and throws it at the camera.
Cuz' I wanna be famous
The trench coat, scarf, and jacket fall from the camera lens. The Back to the Islands Cast is shown at Boney Island's Fun Zone using anti-mutant guns with the orange liquid in them to turn the mutants from the show into normal animals. Jeremy accidentally shoots some liquid at the camera.
Na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na
The cameraman wipes off the orange liquid with a small handkerchief. Once done, at a cliff of Crowstillo Island, Yves and Knick are shown doing a sword battle against King Crowstillo. In the background, the rest of the Radiant Cast faces off Henry in his robotic suit. Henry activates a laser cannon from the suit's left arm and unleashes a laser blast.
I wanna be, I wanna be, I wanna be famous!
Once the laser blast disappears, the Sleek Slushies from the Calamity Cast are riding the roller coaster at the carnival. Some are frightened, some are having fun. Marty turns on his camera so he can take pictures of all the carnival rides he can see. He flashes the camera that is recording him.
I wanna be, I wanna be, I wanna be famous!
Once the bright flash ends, the Glided Chris Awards stage is shown where all finalists from the previous nine seasons are getting ready to have a picture taken. All finalists, Chris, and Chef whistle. Once the song is over, the picture is taken and the intro ends.
The episode starts with Simon wearing his everyday clothing inside the Freezing Grips guy trailer. He is laying down on his bed with a gloomy expression. His eyes are irritated from the lack of sleep he has gotten. He rolls around his bed constantly until he accidentally falls off his bed.
"Ow," The jester winced in pain.
Confessional – Simon – Freezing Grips
"Man, what was going through Jett's head. Turning his back on voting for Daniela? Sure, he hasn't admitted it was him but is pretty obvious. Kristie planned to get rid of Daniela and nobody else on the team besides Jett, Knick, and Sara are shady for a betrayal. Anyway, I'm bummed about what happened."
He rubs his eyes to make himself feel more awake. "I don't want my team to lose again, but if we do, I'm making sure Jett is the next member taking the lame-o-sine. He deserves it. Also, I've been thinking about it, and I believe Chef was lying about not being able to sue the show for its last season. I'll need to find a way to talk with Niu."
He yawns. "After I try to get an hour of sleep."
End Confessional
Raymundo is walking towards the Freezing Grips guy trailer. He does not notice the bucket of water on top of the door. When he opens the door, the bucket falls onto his head. The water inside splashes on him. Raymundo does not mind this prank. That is until he tries to walk into the trailer and trips on the water on the stairs. He groans in pain.
Kristie is happily humming to herself the Total Drama theme song, walking along the film lot. She stops to see a steamy warm delicious pie in front of her. Anyone would most likely decide not to engage with the pie, but because the Total Drama fan likes to sometimes copy tactics of finalists, she pulls an Owen and grabs the pie. She puts it in her face and eats it like a rabid dog. Once done with the pie, she drops the tray. Her cheeks, chin, and lip have blueberry sauce all over.
Suddenly, she can feel those parts burning. Including her mouth. She fans her face with her hands.
"Spicy!" Kristie screamed in agony. "Milk! Milk! I need milk!" She heads to crafts and services while flailing her arms.
Christopher and Sara have set up a picnic table to be alone and eat together. They have a basket with sandwiches, fruits, and drinks. Before either can take food from the basket and talk about the competition, a large water balloon dives into the basket and pops. The popped balloon unleashes a green slime all over the food and on the couple. Sara is greatly annoyed.
Jett is walking around the film lot with his hands inside his jeans pocket. After what went down at the last ceremony, he is feeling conflicted about the results. Not only does he have to convince Melissa to side with her again, but now he is at the bottom of the totem pole of his team. Sure, he was down there since the teams were formed, but not like this. He remembers how he failed to get a decent run in Carnival Calamity. Is he doomed to repeat the same mistake?
Stopping at a tree, he notices something shining brightly from inside the hallow. It could be something valuable. So, he climbs up the tree with the help of its branches and sticks his left hand into the hallow.
Jett lets out a yelp when he feels his hand gets bitten. He pulls his hand out from the hallow and sees a silver metal bear trap bit into his hand. He glares at the bear trap and scowls.
Somewhere else, Melissa is doing some stretches.
"What Jett did was wrong, but he has a point. I should be more active and a bit devious in some way, I guess. Maybe I should start running again to help me think clearly about this," Melissa told herself.
Done stretching, she gets into position to do jogging. Her jog is cut short when her left foot gets caught in a snare trap that is attached to a tree. The trap activates and brings her upside down by the rope from where it was laid.
"Guess I do need to hang around more," Melissa laughed at her joke. She frowns. "This blows."
Daniela is brushing her hair inside the Freezing Grips girl's trailer. She hears a few knocks coming from the trailer's door. She puts the brush down on the cabinet and heads to the door to open it. No one is there to greet her. She looks around and sees not a single person in the area. She is confused about the matter. She looks down at the staircase of the trailer to see an envelope there. She picks it up, opens it, and reads the letter that is inside.
"Dear Daniela, come to the makeup confessional. I have a surprise for you, from Knick," The stuntwoman read. Her eyes light up and her mouth forms a wide smile of astonishment. "Knick wants to see me privately!" She squeals in delight. After realizing what she did, she controls herself and pretends she never did that.
Confessional – Daniela – Freezing Grips
She notices a lot of sticky gum grenades all over the confessional. "I knew hanging out with Knick would be a blast, but this is ridiculous."
The confessional blows up with her inside.
End Confessional
With the confessional destroyed, Daniela is shown covered in ash. She coughs out some ash before falling to the ground in pain. Pieces of the confessional fall from the sky. With some landing on her.
"Ow," Daniela cried in agony.
Knick is inside the stone age soundstage, writing in his book under a palm tree prop. Descending from above, a water balloon hits his book and pops. The water ruins the papers of the book. He takes a deep breath to compose himself.
"Someone made it into my enemy watchlist," Knick stated.
Outside the Freezing Grips boy trailer is the whole team minus Simon murmuring to each other. Lucy and Buck are walking along together and stop to witness the commotion going on nearby.
Simon gets out of the trailer, still looking rather gloomy. He sees the glares of his teammates coming his way. "Uh, is there something I did wrong?"
"Does this remind you of something?" Jett told the jester, raising his hand with the bear trap on it.
"Or this?" Sara pointed at herself, still covered in green slime as well as her boyfriend.
"I don't follow," Simon admitted without understanding.
Kristie drinks a carton of milk before speaking. "Simon, I get it. I'm also vastly disappointed Daniela is still here, but there is no need to take out your frustrations on pranking your teammates."
"Especially the ones who did vote for Daniela," Raymundo added, still having the bucket on his head.
"I'm right here you know," Daniela quietly said.
"But I haven't been pranking anyone. I stopped doing that after the first day arriving here," Simon assured. "Sure, those harmless pranks do feel like something I'll do, but it's not me I swear. I've been practically crying my eyes out the whole night and morning on my bed."
"Harmless pranks?" Knick is baffled by that claim. He raises his right hand to show the pages of his book wet and wrinkled. "Days of writing since I got here have been wasted into the trash for you throwing a water balloon at me. I can't understand my handwriting."
Simon chuckles nervously. "Guys, ladies, please, is not me doing this. Someone must be framing me."
"I'm finding it quite hard to believe someone wants you out of the competition," Christopher said, helping take off the slime from his girlfriend's braid.
"Yeah dude, the only enemies you're making right now are your teammates," Daniela added.
Simon sighs in defeat. Nobody will listen to him. "Can you all just go away?"
Everybody leaves him alone. Along the way to the showers, Melissa helps Jett take off the bear trap on his left hand.
"Just so we're clear, I'm still mad at you, but I don't want to see you hurt," Melissa said to the runaway.
With the coast clear, Lucy and Buck approach Simon.
"What happened over there, partner?" Buck asked with concern.
"Buck, did you not hear what was going on?" Lucy questioned her teammate.
"Sorry, was busy thinking of how Niu is doing," Buck apologized.
"Somebody is pulling pranks on my team to make me look bad," Simon told the two Blazing Gaffers, completely thunderstruck by the person who is doing this. "Can you two help out and prove my innocence?"
"Sure thing, anything to help a friend," Buck agreed smiling.
Lucy is a bit more hesitant. "Normally I would help you on this investigation, but you're not from my team. Plus, I don't want my teammates to think I'm working for the enemy."
"Come on Lucy, you're supposed to help people in situations like this. I'm being framed. Isn't it your job to solve cases like this to prove someone's innocence?" Simon interrogated.
"Okay, one, we are currently competing on a reality TV show, so anything that I do from my job is out of here. Two, I hate that you're right and my love for crime-solving is going to force me to do this," Lucy stated. She inhales and exhales. Then she smiles. "I'm in!"
The three contestants notice Chef driving a small crawler crane machine. The claw attached to the telescopic arm is carrying an outhouse makeup confessional to replace the old one.
A new scene commences. Sua and Janet are inside the Blazing Gaffer girl trailer, watching Niu on the floor rocking herself like a chair with her arms wrapping her knees.
"Niu, you've been like this for the past ten minutes looking at the pile of organized paper in front of you," Janet is concerned for her teammate. "You can tell us what's going on."
"I… am… trying to… be more laid back," Niu answered slowly, gazing crazily at the pile of paper. "Don't want to scare Buck away."
"If you're trying to be more laid back, wouldn't that require to lay on your back?" Janet tried to provide helpful advice.
Sua giggles at what the space geek said. She sits next to Niu. "If I could assist, staring at your schedule isn't going to solve the issue."
"Then what will?" Niu wondered.
Sua crawls her way to the papers and begins ripping them all.
"W-what are you doing!?" Niu exclaimed in horror. "Those papers have everything planned for my upcoming ten years of life!"
"And ripping this adds ten more years to your life," Sua told as she finished ripping all the papers.
Niu rushes to the destroyed papers and tears up. "It's okay, it's okay, I can write you all over again." She grabs the torn sheets and rubs them on her cheek. "Everything will be fine just the way it was."
Janet slowly walks out of the trailer, feeling uncomfortable being around Niu.
"Wow, I thought I was crazy, but you bring the zaniness," Sua admitted, smiling joyfully. "I am so glad to find someone in common."
Outside soundstage 10 is the other guys from the Blazing Gaffers doing exercise on an obstacle course. The course is divided into four areas. Wall climbing, tire jumping, monkey bar, and crawling under barbed wire.
"One more lap Edgar," Buford told the emo. He is climbing the wall while Edgar is doing the monkey bar. Maverick is at the tires while Pharaoh is crawling under the barbed wire.
Edgar tries to make it to the end of the money bar section, but he lets go, not being able to hold on. Maverick grabs him by his stomach before he can fall to the ground.
"Alright dude, that's enough exercising for you," Maverick said. "Go sit down, grab a water bottle, and wait until the rest of us are done."
Edgar nods. Maverick lets him go. The emo walks to the pack of water bottles on the ground, sits down next to it, and grabs one. He watches his teammates keep up on the obstacle course. He opens the bottle and drinks some water to quench his thirst.
"Hand towel?" Janet offered, sitting next to Edgar. She has four different color towels on her hands.
Edgar takes the black towel and uses it to take off the sweat from his face and neck. "Thanks, still have to take a shower though."
"Better to wipe off the sweat so it doesn't stick to your skin," Janet happily told her teammate. "That's what my siblings tell me."
"Siblings? How many siblings do you have?" Edgar asked curiously.
"Four including myself," Janet answered. "I am the youngest."
"That's a big coincidence. I'm the youngest of my siblings as well," Edgar responded amazed. "Me included is three."
"Cool," Janet said smiling. She looks at her teammates on the obstacle course. "You four are bonding well. I can say the same for the gals except for Georgia."
"Yeah, I'm surprised our team is being well, a team," Edgar spoke redundantly as he watches his teammates doing the monkey bar. "After Lilith's elimination, I thought everything will be a disaster."
"Well, it's not. So, stop being in the dumpster," Janet told, coming out a bit brutal. "Enjoy what is happening now."
"But how do I know they are not using me for just a vote?" Edgar wondered, unsure to go with what his teammate said.
"Just ask them face to face," Janet shrugged. "Try and figure out from their body language what is their real intension."
Edgar nods. "That's pretty good advice." He looks at the space geek. "You're pretty smart." He notices her staring at his shirt. "Uh, you, okay?" He snaps his fingers close to her face.
"Oh sorry, I was daydreaming about space because of your shirt," Janet apologized.
The speakers around the film lot turn. "Attention teams, breakfast is now served, and you all have one hour before today's challenge starts," Casey announced through the speakers.
"Well, better get going," Janet said as she gives the other towels to Edgar. "I'll see you all at the crafts and services tent." She lets out a giggle before standing up and leaving.
"See ya," Edgar responded, forming a smile for the first time shown on camera as he watches his teammate go away.
Pharaoh, Maverick, and Buford notice his smile since all three are done exercising.
"You two thinking what I'm thinking?" Pharaoh smirked.
"I don't read minds," Buford bluntly answered.
"Getting Edgar and Janet together?" Maverick asked for confirmation.
"Yeah," Pharaoh kept his smirk. Maverick and he high-fived each other. "Is going to be fun playing matchmaker."
"I'll join you two for the ride," Buford likes the idea. He hears somebody whistling at him. He turns around and notices his girlfriend Meredith waving at him. "Right after some fun with a beautiful lady."
An hour passes by. All the contestants are in the craft and services tent. Each of them has finished their breakfast. Georgia notices Buford having some lipstick kisses on his cheeks. She tosses a napkin to her teammate so he can wipe it off.
Casey and Meredith arrive inside the tent.
"Good morning teams," Casey greeted happily, her hands behind her back. "Today is a special challenge."
"With you? I doubt it," Sara smirked.
"I can give penalties," Casey responded in a sing-song voice, silencing the Freezing Grip.
"You know, I don't abuse my power like that anymore," Chris told his co-host, standing behind the cafeteria counter. He has his hair net back on.
"Then what do you call what happened the last ceremony?" Simon brought that up.
"Hmm, sorry, too busy cooking," Chris did not give a damn.
Simon growls at him.
"Hey, eyes on me. Not Mister Retirement Home," Casey told the jester while insulting Chris proudly.
"Come on, I'm not even in my forties," Chris complained. "You kids and your mentalities these days geez."
"What's the challenge for today? Maverick asked Casey.
"Well first, I need to talk about the challenge's theme," Casey answered joyfully with a spin. "It's a combination of animation with black and white films."
"Does that mean we will be using the VR?" Daniela asked enthusiastically.
"Yes, Daniela, this challenge will be in VR," Casey answered.
Daniela grins. In the last VR challenge, she won it for her team. Which makes her believe she has a high chance of doing it again.
"Coming from England, Edward James Muggeridge was the first person in history to make the first film by using black and white photography of a man on a horse galloping. He took twelve pictures but only used eleven as frames. The way it could be played involved a circular metal housing with slots that held 16-inch glass disks. The housing was reeled in a circular motion by hand and the images from the glass disks would be projected onto a screen," Meredith explained. "This was in 1879."
"That was the first black and white film?" Melissa is skeptical.
"Accordingly, yes," Meredith responded. "Now, the first-ever animation film is called Fantasmagorie from French animator Émile Cohl in 1908."
There is a small silence.
"That was short," Raymundo realized when comparing the two facts.
"Okay teams, follow Meredith and me to soundstage ten," Casey instructed. "Inside, I will fully explain the challenge."
Confessional – Pharaoh – Blazing Gaffers
"In the first VR challenge, my team got cooked badly. It would have been a massive blowout if it wasn't for Janet. Have to step up my game on this one."
End Confessional
The teams, Casey, and Meredith are inside the VR headset soundstage. Meredith makes her way to the computer section to do her duty as the contestants one by one sit on gaming chairs. Casey gets in front of the giant TV screen.
"Alright, while the facts gave us an inside of such rich history, today's virtual reality challenge will be set in the classic rubber hose style world. Think of those black and white cartoons your parents and grandparents used to watch back in the day," Casey informed. "Each team will duke it out using toon force to hold onto a gold nugget. Whichever player has the nugget in their hand by the five-minute mark wins it for their team."
"Just five minutes?" Buford wanted to make sure what he was hearing is correct.
"Yep, most animated films during the golden age of animation rarely if ever got to ten minutes. And considering how toon force is, I doubt many of you will survive longer than that," Casey answered.
"So basically, is an all-out brawl as teams just like the superhero challenge," Knick stated. "Talk about originality."
"Is called being inspired by others by putting your spin on it," Casey informed. She blows a raspberry at her ex.
"How mature," Knick sarcastically responded.
Janet raises her hand.
"Yes, Janet?" Casey spoke.
"Since we all will be in black, gray, and white colors during the VR challenge, how can we tell the nugget is gold?" Janet sincerely asked.
Jett laughs at Casey for not realizing this. The blonde host blushes embarrassingly for forgetting that part.
"I'll just have the nugget have the letter C on it. C for Casey of course," Casey answered Janet. She looks at Meredith. "Make sure you correct that." Meredith gives her a thumbs up.
Jett continues to laugh which annoys Kristie.
"Hey Jett, you know who could have been helpful for this challenge?" Kristie rhetorically asked. "Let me refresh your memory on an eliminated team member that loves slapstick and zany humor like this. Oh wait, we can't use that power player because of your idiotic selfish mess! You neigh donkey!"
This silences Jett. All his teammates narrow their eyes at him. Sure, some did not vote for Daniela, but they had to make the runaway feel worse. Except for Christopher, he is just chilling on his gaming chair.
"I would have told you that myself but in a much nicer way," Melissa, who is sitting next to Jett told him.
Confessional – Jett – Freezing Grips
"Okay, I messed up big time. I wanted Melissa's vote when I should have been more crafty and let her friend stay so Melissa can convince her and Simon to eliminate others instead of me. Of course, that would have put a wrench in my real plans, but it beats the crap I'm currently in."
He sighs and frowns. He puts his hands on his knees. "Look at me pulling stunts like this. I'm no better than the people I criticize."
Confessional – Kristie – Freezing Grips
"Was I expecting my team to dominate the other in this final season? No, but I was not expecting my team to be this awful. Seriously, this is probably the worst team to ever perform in Total Drama history! Oh, but Kristie, Team Victory got all their players eliminated before the merge," She mocked fans at the end. Her venting continues.
"Well despite the people on that team being incompetent to the max, they never hurt their team. Tamera got manipulated by Georgia to sabotage our team. Georgia! You know, the girl who lives to make others suffer! Then we had Axel being a dipstick because he can't do anything competent without Tamera. Knick would have been out by now!"
Her cheeks are red in anger. "And don't get me started on Daniela. Oh boy, I can go on and on about her. She claims to be the best competitor ever because she knows so much about Knick and made it to the merge. Tell me, who messed up her perfect game just to have fun and mess with Violette? Oh yeah, that girl! She's such… such a…. ugh, I can't even finish my sentence. That's how angry I am!"
End Confessionals
Kristie gets out of the confessional, lifts the confessional out of the ground, and tosses it into the air in a fit of rage. Chef walks by and sees the confessional no longer there.
"Oh, come on, I just brought one earlier," Chef whined.
Inside the virtual reality world, the Blazing Gaffers are transported near an entrance to a gold mine. Everything is black, white, and gray. The entrance is blocked by wooden planks. Each Blazing Gaffer looks like a rubber hose style cartoon character. Music plays throughout the challenge and sound effects.
Maverick and Lucy talk to their teammates about a plan they have but notice no words or sound coming out of either mouth. The two of them look at each other with confusion. They shrug off this feature in the challenge. Then they point at the mine, letting their teammates know to go inside and get the nugget with the letter C on it.
Sua gives a thumbs up to her two leaders. Her feet turn into tires, and she rushes into the entrance, breaking the wooden planks. Her teammates blink twice at the sudden change. She arrives back not even five seconds later with the nugget. She raises it high, glad to have achieved victory for her team.
A large suburban 1950s house drops onto Sua, crushing her. Her right hand is still holding the nugget. Christopher opens the door of the house and holds it for his teammates to get out of the household. Then the kung fu warrior closes the door and grabs the nugget from the crushed idol. He and his team are also in the rubber hose style. The Freezing Grips and Blazing Gaffers lock eyes with each other.
Buford shows a rock he is holding to the Freezing Grips. He points at the nugget Christopher is holding. The Grips look at the nugget and then back at Buford, who now has the nugget. The Grips look back at Christopher who is now holding a bomb.
Christopher's teammates run away from him. His eyes grow wide and big in an exaggerated manner when looking at the bomb. The bomb detonates and sends him flying into the sky.
Buford uses his empty hand to pull a new scene into the show. The Blazing Gaffers are now in a forest. Noticing the Freezing Grips are coming in close, they split up. The Freezing Grips split up as well to find Buford.
Heading deeper into the forest, Buford is wearing a brown hunter uniform, hat included. He is holding a double-barrel shotgun. As he walks around, being careful of his surroundings, Jett appears behind one of the trees in the background. The runaway is using a carrot like a toothpick.
Jett runs around the trees until putting up a sign on one of them that says, 'Jett went this way' with an arrow pointing somewhere. He pierces the top with a nail and hammers it down into the tree with a comically giant hammer tool. He snickers and hides in a bush.
Buford arrives to read the sign. He follows the arrow and sees a rabbit hole a few yards away. He makes it there and aims his gun into the hole. Jett is shown walking with the bush he is hiding in, his legs and feet only visible. The blond takes off Bo's hat with his left hand. He sees the nugget on top of his enemy's head. He swipes the nugget away and flees.
Jett pops his head out of the bush to show his smug grin. He looks at the nugget and notices it does not have the C symbol. Rather, a drawing of a butt. Running confused, he does not see a tree coming his way. So, he hits it, falls to the ground, and passes out. Birds fly around his head.
Buford watched this display and snickered to himself. He reveals that he had the real nugget inside the gun this whole time. The dude sees a big shadow over him. This leads him to turn around and notices Raymundo on a surfboard, riding a big wave towards him.
Buford takes out a sign that reads 'Help Me'. He gets engulfed in the sea. Once the giant wave is gone, Raymundo gets off his surfboard. The beach bro picks it up and the nugget near it. Upon inspecting, he notices he is now in a desert with pyramids around.
Wondering around a bit, Raymundo sees a stunning lady in her twenties dressing as a pharaoh. His eyes turn into hearts for two seconds and make his way toward the lady. He gets on one knee and kisses the royal lady's right hand.
The pharaoh lady points at Raymundo's surfboard, wanting to have it. Raymundo in love gives it to her. The pharaoh lady then smacks him with his surfboard, knocking him out. The lady grabs the nugget. Next, the lady unzips herself to reveal the competitor Pharaoh just pretending to be her in disguise.
Pharaoh fully gets out of the costume. He closes his eyes, whistles, and walks away. Little did he know he will be walking over a hill. Then into the air. Noticing the music stops, he opens his eyes and looks down. He shrugs, not scared in the slightest. The music starts again once Pharaoh walks in the air to the other cliff he sees.
Daniela is there waiting for him. She is holding a book with the title 'The Law of Gravity'. She opens it so Pharaoh can read it. Once the Blazing Gaffer reads it, he falls from the sky.
Daniela grabs the nugget in midair. She turns around and notices Georgia running towards her. As the two girls fight for the nugget on the hill in the background, Buck and Niu are sitting on a rock together.
Buck takes out a piece of paper and rips it in front of her girlfriend. He gives a paper to Niu so she can rip it.
Niu sees her boyfriend give two thumbs to her, letting her know she can do this. She closes her eyes and slowly tears the paper in half. Hearing the claps from Buck, she opens her eyes and looks at the result. Her hands shake. Forming a crazy smile, she leaves Buck alone to proceed to throw papers, books, and calendars into a campfire.
Buck watches her girlfriend get more unstable and zanier, jumping on her feet and heading into the distance. Buck believes she might have snapped. Fire is shown near his left. The MacGyver turns to see the fire going away as Daniela arrives as ash. The stuntwoman's body drops, including the nugget that was in her right hand.
Georgia hops by and takes the nugget. She gives it to Buck. Saraphina arrives with a toy-looking sledgehammer to launch the actress into the sky. Sara then whacks Buck on the head with her sledgehammer, making Buck drop the nugget and convert him into an accordion. Sara grabs the nugget and leaves the Freezing Grip alone.
Knick, Simon, Melissa, and Kristie arrive to assist Sara. All five are in a city walking around. Maverick, Edgar, Lucy, and Janet from the Blazing Gaffers arrive to retrieve the nugget. Another stare down commences.
Kristie takes out a vacuum cleaner from her beanie to suck all the Blazing Gaffers in front of her inside the machine. Maverick, Lucy, and Edgar run away while Janet watches in awe the vacuum cleaner sucking her in.
Knick, Melissa, Simon, and Sara notice the vacuum cleaner's bag expanding. Feeling like it is going to blow, the four get away from Kristie. Kristie is confused as to why they are ditching her until she feels the expanding bag touching her face. An explosion goes off in the city, sending her and Janet into space. What Janet had that caused the explosion inside the bag? No one will find out.
The four Freezing Grips arrive at a farm and head to the field with crops. The three Blazing Gaffers are hiding near a barn. Lucy and Maverick try to come up with a plan to retrieve the nugget while Edgar notices Niu riding a mechanical bull nearby. He touches the shoulder of both his leaders to let them know about the goal digger.
The four remaining Freezing Grips walk around a vegetable garden of the farm. Cabbages, carrots, broccoli, and beets suddenly start to disappear into the soil ground. Two hands arise from the soil to bring Sara into the ground where the roots lay. Melissa takes the nugget her teammate dropped.
Knick looks at the hole that was made when Sara got put into the dirt. He gets hit by a boxing glove and lands on a pile of manure. Simon and Melissa watch Niu get out of the hole wearing boxing gloves.
Lucy, Maverick, and Edgar stand next to their teammate. Simon and Melissa look at their watches they apparently have to know how much time is left in the challenge. Only a minute left.
Being unstable, Niu punches Edgar with a boxing glove. This sends the emo into a small storage house. It is dark inside, and Edgar lights up a match. The crates around him all have the word dynamite on them. What happens next is an explosion that the last remaining players in the challenge observe.
Lucy instructs Maverick to hug Niu tightly, so their teammate does not do any more accidental damage. Maverick understands and quickly puts Niu in a bear hug.
Lucy goes to tackle Melissa but ends up being run over by a truck. Simon is inside driving the truck. He opens the passenger door and signals Melissa to hop in. The athletic nerd gets on the passenger seat. Simon drives away.
Maverick, knowing the timer is ticking down let's go of Niu so she can pursue the two Freezing Grips. Simon and Melissa are happily enjoying their ride on the road. They check their watch to see that only twenty seconds remaining in the challenge. After checking, Niu is shown sitting on the passenger seat with Melissa. Niu takes the wheel and drives the truck into a tree. The truck explodes on impact.
The nugget rolls down the road until Maverick picks it up. He sees the destroyed truck. Fire and smoke coming out from it. Melissa gets out of the truck from the broken window. Maverick sweats as he sees her run at him. Luckily, he and she disappeared from the virtual reality.
In the real world, inside soundstage ten, the contestants are taking off their headsets.
"Congrats Maverick on leading your team to victory by being the person holding onto the nugget when the timer went off," Casey announced.
The Blazing Gaffers cheer for their fourth victory in a row.
"Couldn't have done it without everyone," Maverick told his teammates proudly. The team smiles back at him.
"Freezing Grips, I will see you all for the fourth time in a row at the elimination ceremony," Casey informed, content on seeing the defeated faces of the team.
Confessional – Kristie – Freezing Grips
"I don't feel like ranting this time," Kristie dejectedly said. "Even at our best we still lost. No self-sabotage or unfair rules this time around. Is there even hope for this team to win again?" She takes off her beanie so she can scratch her hair. "I want to get rid of Daniela so bad, but I know all eyes are going to be on Simon and Jett. The former for pranking us and the latter messing up last elimination."
End Confessional
Simon enters the craft and services tent. He encounters Niu, Buck, and Lucy looking at the objects used from the pranking this morning on a picnic table. He notices Niu tied up to a chair with rope, her body shaking. He also sees her having tape on her mouth.
"Uh, what happened here?" Simon asked Lucy and Buck.
"Niu is unstable at the moment," Lucy answered, staring at the bucket, the rope from the snare trap, the bear trap, and the half-eaten pie on the table.
Simon looks back at Niu who has calmed. Which makes the Blazing Gaffer even scarier. "Did you two solve the case of who framed me?" The jester asked.
"Nope," Lucy frowned, showing her open detective case to him. "I used my fingerprint dusting brush on all these items but none of them have the fingerprints of the culprit. The samples I found were those who touched the item after the victim got pranked." She gives a sheet of paper to Simon with all the names.
"I wanted to try and see if I can get into the security footage room to see who was responsible, but that's kind of breaking the rules of the game," Buck added. "Plus, it's in our contracts to not go there."
Despite not knowing the culprit, Simon keeps a small smile on his face. "Well, there's still one thing for me to do left." He walks up to Niu and whispers to her. "How would you like to sue this show for every last cent they have?" He slowly takes the tape off covering Niu's mouth.
"I'm listening," Niu whispered lovingly with a devious expression.
"Remember the whole singing rule that prevented a certain contestant from doing anything in a challenge?" Simon asked, keeping his voice low as Lucy and Buck keep investigating. "When the elimination ceremony came, she lost to a tiebreaker that had to deal with singing. Something that she can't do. Is possible to sue the show for using her disability against her despite being the final season?"
Niu's eyes light up like a Christmas tree. Her facial expression gets more deceitful. "Give me all the details." She slowly laughs maniacally. Then she laughs faster and louder.
This creeps out Simon. Including Lucy and Buck who turn around to see why Niu is laughing maniacally. Simon lifts the chair Niu is sitting on and takes her out of the crafts and services tent. The goal digger continues to laugh as she exits the place.
"That girl is nuts," Lucy told Buck as she goes back to looking at the used prank items.
Buck chuckles. "Yeah, but she's the type of nuts I like."
"Still can't figure out who could the culprit is behind this framing stunt," Lucy told her teammate. "The only way the person could have not gotten fingerprints on these objects is by having special gloves that prevent them from that evidence."
Buck scratches his head. "Isn't there someone in the game that wears gloves?"
Both teens' eyes widen, realizing who is responsible for this.
It is night. Now for the fourth time in a row, the Freezing Grips have arrived at the bleacher of the Glided Chris Award Ceremony. The males are sitting in the first two rows while the females sit in the two upper decks. Each contestant is holding their voting device. Casey is back wearing his dress. There is a glass table next to her on stage. On the glass table is eight Glided Chris awards.
"This is the part where I would give depth on how this team fails to succeed, but I will just cut to the chase," Casey said. "Cast your vote on the voting device and I'll see on my phone who is taking the lame-o-sine tonight"
All Freezing Grips cast their vote. Casey tosses a Chris award to every team member except for Simon and Jett.
"Not surprised you two are the only ones who received a vote," Casey admitted. "Simon, you're in the bottom for pulling pranks on your team because of a loss."
"I never did those," Simon exclaimed disconsolately.
"And Jett, you're in the bottom for not getting rid of Daniela last ceremony. Even though I'm a host again, I was a contestant. So honestly, that's the worst play I've seen since Elsa's elimination," Casey commented.
"Yeah, I know it wasn't too great of an option," Jett realized his error, surprising Melissa.
"Alright, the last Chris award goes to…"

"Jett," Casy finished. "Congrats!" She throws the last award directly to his face.
Melissa catches the award before it hits Jett's head. The two teammates smile at each other.
"Well, I saw this coming," Simon said. He stands up. "It was nice meeting you all." He walks out of the bleacher and heads to the lame-o-sine.
"Hmm, I thought this will be more dramatic," Casey admitted, feeling disappointed.
The Freezing Grips leave the bleachers.
"Hey," Melissa called to Jett who stops walking. "Did you mean that back there? Regretting the vote?"
Jett rolls his eyes before turning around to look at the athletic nerd. "Look, I could care less about her. But I will admit what I did was idiotic. Kristie was right. I was selfish and wanted the power of votes for myself."
"Well, maybe you should start thinking of others now," Melissa suggested. She puts a hand on the runaway's shoulder. "That's what I'm doing for you. Here, treat yourself." She opens one of the Chris awards and gives it to her teammate. "Make sure your next villainous plan is better. We learn from our mistakes." She leaves Jett alone while smiling.
Confessional – Jett – Freezing Grips
"What, was that?" He sits confused. He looks at the chocolate award Melissa unwrapped for him. He smiles and takes a bite.
Confessional – Melissa – Freezing Grips
"From that small moment during the ceremony, I knew I made the right decision not voting Jett off. He does have a heart under all that roughness. It could be fun helping out in his schemes. Maybe since I will be closer to him, my niceness will rub off. Well, whatever niceness I do have I guess." She frowns. "I just want to have fun again."
End Confessionals
Simon enters the backdoor of the lame-o-sine. Before the driver can take him away, he hears a knock on the door's window. He looks to his left and notices Georgia with a bright smile waving at him. He presses a button on the door to lower the window.
"Hey Georgia," Simon greeted hesitantly.
"Salutations Simon," Georgia greeted back happily. "After an ally told me about your elimination, I wanted to give you a present since we came from the same cast."
"Oh? That's strange coming from you," Simon told, unsure if he should accept the gift.
"Here you go," Georgia presented a small transparent re-sealable zipper bag to the eliminated player.
Simon grabs the bag and notices a piece of bright green hair inside. "Hey, this hair looks like it comes from the wig of…"
"That's because it is," Georgia interrupted with her answer. "I'm the one who burned her wig into nothing but ash. Oh, and I was the one who pulled those pranks on your teammates so they can get rid of you."
Simon grips the bag tightly. He glares at the actress. "Why would you do that? I, nor she never did anything wrong to you."
"Why do I want to do this? I'll tell you why," Georgia smirked. She gets closer to the window. "Because nothing satisfies me more than watching every single opponent in my way suffer beneath my feet. Oh, and here's a fact. You never had a shot with her in the first place." She backs away from the limo once she sees Simon's eyes want to attack with fury.
Simon opens the door and goes to attack Georgia, but the actress anticipated this and dodges the punch. Georgia grabs Simon by the back of his head and slams him onto the door, knocking the jester out.
Casey is watching this from afar, unsure what to make of this. Oh well, better end the episode.
"Georgia is responsible for another eliminated contestant from the game! Also, is a possible team-up on the horizon? Will Jett and Melissa prove themselves to be worthy foes? How will Christopher and Sara solve their competitive issues? Can Niu get even crazier? And will the Freezing Grips finally win again against the Blazing Gaffers? Find out next time on Total… Drama… Lights, Camera, Finale!"

Author's Note: Hello readers, not much to say about this chapter. Shorter than the others, but without dialogue during the challenge the action goes by faster. Which was on purpose due to the theme. Thank you LittleRedline for not only coming up with the title but for the challenge as well. The nugget-catching part was my idea.
