Merge
Boys - Pharoah, Knick, Christopher, Buck, Edgar, Jett
Girls – Janet, Lucy, Saraphina, Niu, Georgia, Melissa
"Last time on Total Drama Lights, Camera, Finale," Casey said. She stood outside the film lot. Flashbacks occurred as she narrated the previous events. "The merge arrived for the final season of Total Drama, exciting the contestants. Especially since the challenge involved each competitor partnering with another. Which sparked a lot of romance for the couples in the game. Some contestants discovered Lucy and Pharaoh are a couple while others figured out Janet and Edgar are together. Tensions rose between Niu and Buck after Georgia managed to discover the two alliances, but they were able to solve the issue."
"The challenge was a romantic race on swan boats. Going to bridges and solving puzzles there with Embarc as a special guest. After some pushing and hilarity, Georgia and Knick decided to put their differences aside to sabotage Maverick and Sua, ending both the calamity cast competitors' run in the game due to a brutal double elimination. Lastly, Melissa and Jett decided to tackle being together as a couple. Only for it to not last at all."
The flashbacks ended. Casey still stood outside the film lot. "Half of the contestants are gone, and the drama is intensifying as we get closer to the finale. Who will be the next competitor to take the lame-o-sine? Find out now on Total… Drama… Lights, 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 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 started with Melissa in her pajamas heading toward the communal showers with two towels on her shoulder. When she got inside, Jett opened one of the stalls. What he had on was a towel wrapped around his body. The two Pre-Merge Alliance members gazed at each awkwardly.
"Not talking about what happened on movie night is not going to solve whatever you are feeling," Jett advised Melissa.
"I know, you're right," Melissa agreed. She could not bottle up her feelings forever.
"You want me to change into my clothes?" Jett asked generously. "I left them in the Freezing Grip boys' trailer and will have to walk there and come back."
"No, no, please stay. I rather discuss this with you now," Melissa replied. "Also, I forgot Chef never sent us to different trailers after the merge announcement. Come to think of it, Chris nor Casey mentioned trailer switches either."
Jett shrugged. "They're getting lazy. I can't blame them; it is the final season. They are not going to care about certain stuff. Now, tell me why you left that night."
Melissa nodded and carefully thought about the words she would be giving. She made sure to have eye contact with the runaway at all times. "I like you, Jett. You're one of the best things that have ever happened to me. That time we danced together on top of the bar counter in that hotel set was a roller coaster of feelings I haven't felt since being confirmed on this show. We have been getting along well since then. Us helping each other out."
Jett saw Melissa trying to hold back tears.
"And when we were kissing as the movie played, it felt special. It felt like you genuinely like me. Until I remembered about the talk of you and Lisa being together," Melissa kept on.
Jett felt uneasy about this. He knew what was coming next, but he did not want to leave out of respect for the athletic nerd.
"Jett, I cannot be with you when we both know you are not able to commit to a relationship. Fenton manipulated me into thinking he liked me just so he can vote me off and become a leader. I am not dealing with someone who will highly break up with me and come back at various times. I've already been heartbroken once. I'm not doing it again," Melissa ended the potential relationship.
Melissa passed Jett to open a stall door. Jett looked down to the ground with a frown.
"I don't mind us staying friends though," Melissa added with a small smile. Her teary eyes stopped crying.
"Me either," Jett replied dejectedly.
Melissa entered the stall to take a shower.
Confessional – Jett
"As much as it sucked and still sucks, I can't blame Melissa. I want to do better. I want to be with her. But is better off this way."
He took off his beanie and ruffled up his hair a bit. "Crud, I think this is the first time a girl has rejected me. Usually, they come after me like Lisa did and then call it quits. Or just keep in touch and that's it like Tess."
He put his beanie back on. "I'm glad she still wants to be friends though. Not just because I don't want to lose her, but because of the alliance we have going on. This might affect our performance today."
He smirked with delight. "Luckily, I already made a backup plan."
End Confessional
Edgar was walking to one of the Freezing Grips trailers with a set of roses in his hand. He was excited to bring the roses to Janet. He was about to knock on the door of the trailer until he heard Knick and Janet's voices from the inside.
"So that's what you really think of Edgar?" Knick said with astonishment in his voice.
Edgar decided to stay and listen before entering.
"Yeah, he's cute and all that but I really only want to date him just so I convince him to side with us and take out the Pre-merge Alliance. As if I ever want to be in a real actual relationship with that miserable gloomy loser," Janet replied.
Edgar let go of the roses he collected. He started to cry as the roses fell to the ground. He ran away.
Inside the trailer, Knick was actually having a conversation with Georgia. The journalist picked up a water bottle from the top of a small cabinet and threw the bottle at the actress.
"Just so we are clear, I'm only doing this to separate them," Knick stated.
Georgia drank some water before replying. "In return, you make sure I have immunity for today's challenge."
"Yeah, that's not happening. Considering what will happen to Edgar, you don't have to worry about going home. Just make sure to vote him off at the ceremony if there is one for this challenge," Knick refused the deal as he provided his reasoning. He opened the door of the trailer and left.
Confessional – Knick
"Yes, I did work with Georgia to make sure Edgar and Janet are no longer together. It is nothing personal. I don't want to have a fifty percent chance of either siding with the other. Now that Edgar would think Janet is the problem, everybody including his alliance members will think he lost it. Edgar goes home and the Crowstillo Alliance remains victorious."
End Confessional
Janet has been making star shape sandwiches at the crafts and services tent. She put all the sandwiches on a plate. She hummed to herself delightfully.
"Edgar is going to be so happy when he sees this," Janet said to herself happily.
As she began walking out of the tent, she heard Edgar's voice from outside.
"I guess Janet is that gullible," Edgar said with distaste.
"Huh?" Janet said to herself quietly. She got to one side of the tent to hear the emo better.
"She actually thought I would be into her. I'm just using her stupidity and lack of a brain to make sure the Pre-merge Alliance gets an extra vote. Once I don't need her anymore, I'll just dump her in a soft and understandable way," Edgar continued explaining his plan. "Nah, who am I kidding? I'll tell her why she will never be successful in life."
Janet dropped the plate with sandwiches onto the floor. She got onto her knees and started sobbing uncontrollably.
Outside the tent, it was revealed that Georgia was mimicking Edgar's voice. She smiled deviously as she heard the space geek's cries of agony and grief.
Confessional – Georgia
"Knick really thought he planned this well through. Guess the desperation of winning is making him come back to his first-season run routes. I can see the cracks already. By the way, Jett wanted me to target Janet since he believes Edgar and her are together. I was just going to make Janet the one who looks like she is losing it, but thanks to Knick this got a whole lot better for my safety. I'm still going to try to win immunity today. Don't want to risk getting eliminated if those two manage to figure out I was behind this."
End Confessional
Sara, Christopher, Lucy, and Pharaoh were at the beach set, having a double date. All four of them were in their bathing suits sitting on chairs at a square shape table. Each of them sipped piña coladas as they laughed and chatted. Their fun ended when Pharaoh and Lucy saw Janet running toward the four.
"Something is wrong with Janet," Lucy told her alliance partners. She, Pharaoh, Christopher, and Sara got up from their chairs.
Janet put her arms around Lucy as she sobbed.
"What's the matter?" Christopher asked the space geek.
"E-Edgar was just using me. He never liked me and was only doing it to have an extra vote for the Pre-merge Alliance," Janet exclaimed as she whimpered. "He's right. I am an idiot for falling with him."
Sara crossed her arms furiously. "Should have known this would happen. After all, he is a Premerger Alliance member. You two being together was a setup." She calmed down and grabbed Janet to hug her. "Don't worry, we'll make sure Edgar gets what is coming to him."
Pharaoh, Christopher, and Lucy were skeptical of this being Edgar's doing.
"Did Edgar tell you directly in the face?" Lucy asked Janet.
"No," Janet answered. She got out of Sara's hug and sniffled. "I caught him talking about his plan outside the crafts and services tent as I was making sandwiches."
"I think you should talk to Edgar face to face," Pharaoh suggested. "I have a gut feeling who is behind this, but I don't want to make any assumptions yet."
"I don't want to talk to him," Janet cried out. "He used me!" She hugged Sara.
"There, there," Sara patted the space geek's back.
"I agree with Pharaoh that you should confront Edgar and break up with him," Christopher gave his input.
"I didn't say for her to break up with him," Pharaoh replied to the warrior. "She needs to talk with Edgar because…"
At that moment, the speakers throughout the film lot turned on. "Attention contestants," Casey's voice is heard. "Make sure to have breakfast because in an hour everyone must be inside soundstage six for today's challenge!"
Confessional – Pharaoh
"I have a huge gut feeling Georgia is behind making Edgar look like a major jerk to Janet. For someone who can barely get gigs, she has an amazing range for voice acting. Thought I guess how she is makes people not want to work with her. At this point, I'm not even surprised. I want to help out and show Janet the truth, but she's so emotional at this point is better to let things play out despite how much I dislike it."
End Confessional
The twelve competitors and Casey were at soundstage six. The set had the vomit comet that was used in season two. Only this time it was much wider and taller. There was also a high-tech-looking building on the set and an obstacle course that looked vaguely familiar. Meredith arrived and stood next to Casey. Everyone could tell something happened to Edgar and Janet, the two being far apart from each other. Knick kept his emotionless expression. Georgia was smiling at the misery, and Jett was actually concerned about Edgar being gloomier than he usually is. Did he mess up?
"I see some tensity here. I like it," Casey rubbed her hands while grinning impishly. She stopped doing this. "Excuse Chris for the lack of set designs and props. Embarc had to take the space designs here for a space film her parents are making."
"Space?" Janet lifted her head up a bit, excitement slowly filling in her.
"That's right," Meredith guaranteed. "Today's challenge will be the space genre mixed with the war genre!" She did not get much of a thrilling reaction from the contestants. She still kept her smile.
"Is that why you most likely used interns to disassemble the Blazing Gaffers obstacle course and assemble it back in here?" Pharaoh looked at Casey as he asked her. "You know my team uses that right?"
"Well, fortunately, Pharaoh the teams are disbanded so I can take away your obstacle course because I can," Casey said tauntingly. She clapped her hands together. "Okay, today's challenge is a three-parter. The first part is…"
"What happened to Meredith's historical facts?" Buck asked kindly, interrupting Casey.
"Well, the space film considered to be the first was Le Voyage dans la Lune in 1902 by Georges Méliès. But I feel like I already gave a fact about that film already," Meredith explained. "Also, I wasn't going to do a historical fact about war since those tend to be brought from a matter of perspective. But, since there's still a few of you curious," The historian ponders about a thought.
"The first war to be filmed was the Battle of Volo in Thessaly, Greece in April 1897. This war between Turkey and Greece was filmed by the British war correspondent and cinematographer, Frederick Villiers from the United Kingdom, but was never publicly broadcast. The earliest footage of war that still exists was filmed November 12, 1899, by John Bennett; another UK during England's campaign at Orange River, South Africa during the Boer War from 1899 to 1902."
"Can we get on with the challenge already?" Georgia insisted, which made Meredith narrow her eyes at her.
"You got it background character," Casey disrespected for fun. "The first part of today's challenge is the obstacle course. Every contestant will go through the obstacle course and stay there performing the exercises until four drop out of the challenge. Those eight remaining will compete in part two. Any questions?"
Several players raised their hands.
"Good, now get into the obstacle course," Casey instructed.
Confessional – Sara
She had her legs crossed. "Thanks to the concentration of wanting to defeat the opposing alliance, nothing much happened during this part of the challenge. Janet stopped quickly though. Then came along Niu a bit later."
End Confessional
Niu and Janet sat on kid-size chairs as they watched the other players continue lapping around the obstacle course. The goal digger saw the melancholy face the space geek had.
"Hey," Niu said in a friendly manner, looking at Janet.
"Hey," Janet replied while looking at the floor.
"What's the matter?" Niu asked worryingly. "I know we are in different alliances, but that doesn't mean we cannot talk about what is bugging us."
"I'm sorry. I can't let anybody from the Pre-Merge Alliance use me again," Janet apologized.
Niu decided not to try and get Janet to talk. Knick and Buck were shown tired of going through the obstacle course so much and both went to sit on the kid-size chairs. Buck sat next to Niu while Knick sat next to Janet.
"Alright everyone takes a ten-minute break," Casey announced to the eight who made it into the second part of the challenge. She looked at Knick with a disappointed yet belittling smile. "I expected more from my ex and the guy I dated once."
"I don't go around the course this much," Buck admitted happily.
Knick was breathing heavily. "I only do the basics of exercising. You can't move around fast if you are too bulky. Which I do not need as a journalist."
Casey shrugged happily. "Eh, with you two out of the way this made the challenge more interesting."
The eight contestants decided to walk around the soundstage to see what they could find interesting. Or in Sara and Christopher's case, a hidden place to make out. However, turns out it was not so secreted because Georgia was walking by minding her business until she heard the smooching. The actress tip-toed backward until she felt like she could run away.
Jett and Melissa had a foot leaning on a wall as they conversated.
"Have you exercised like that before?" Jett asked.
"I did use this obstacle course early in the mornings whenever I felt like it thanks to the permission of the Blazing Gaffers," Melissa answered. "However, my track coach, well, used to be my track coach, but we still talk with each other."
"Get to the point," Jett said in a playful tone.
"Coach gave military exercises for those who wanted it," Melissa summarized everything. "And I took them."
"Hmm, by any chance did your coach make you competitive?" Jett wondered.
"Part of it. But I was already competitive since the beginning of my childhood. Didn't help I kept butting heads with this Wilfred girl," Melissa told. "Wonder if she's in the hockey team she wanted to be in already."
"Excuse me," Georgia pardoned as she approached the two. "I need to speak with Jett privately in this instance."
"Don't worry, you can talk to him. Just pretend I'm not here," Melissa smiled widely.
"With the clothes that you're wearing it would be quite difficult," Georgia retorted happily.
"Relax Mel, I got this," Jett assured. He took a few steps forward to get closer to the actress. "Try to spark a conversation with Edgar. He appears in a bad mood."
Melissa nodded and left the two secret alliance members alone.
"What do you want?" Jett asked bluntly, getting right to the point.
"I saw Christopher and Sara making out over there," Georgia pointed at the hidden location while keeping eye contact with the runaway. "I have a plan to get rid of a Crowstillo Alliance member and it requires you stealing a dagger from Christopher."
"You want me to steal a dagger of his while he makes out with Sara?" Jett is confused by this tactic.
"That's what I said idiot," Georgia insulted. "You want your alliance to have the numbers advantage or not?"
Jett rolled his eyes. "Fine, but I wouldn't call the guy who has you on a leash an idiot," He reminded before heading in the direction the couple is making out.
"Trust me, I'm making sure that won't be possible anymore," Georgia said to herself quietly.
Pharaoh and Lucy had been watching Edgar mope to himself on the floor near the vomit comet.
"Do you think Janet talked to Edgar about what happened?" Lucy asked her boyfriend.
"I don't know," Pharoah responded. "All I know is this doesn't make sense. If Edgar said his plan was to use Janet, why does he look like that all of a sudden?"
"Do you think Georgia got to both of them?" Lucy wondered as she did a thinking pose.
"I have a hunch Georgia used her voice acting skills to make Janet and Edgar not want to talk with each other," Pharaoh. "I just don't know if I should confront this with either of them because I don't want to accidentally be on either's bad side."
"Yeah, I get that. Emotional stability," Lucy understood.
Christopher and Sara were still making out at their supposedly hidden location. Jett arrived nearby and was trying to figure out a way to steal a dagger from the kung fu warrior. Which seemed impossible since the two daggers were attached to Christopher's belt. Not to mention the couple kept their hands on each other's bodies. How is Jett going to do this?
Luckily, Sara removed the daggers from Christopher's belt and tossed them to the side so he can feel that part of her boyfriend's body without having to be careful about being cut.
Jett picked up a dagger and walked away. He is satisfied with achieving it but is still perplexed as to why Georgia requested it. Nevertheless, he gave the dagger to Georgia. The actress looked at the dagger with a sinister smile.
"Attention contestants! Those who made it to part two of today's challenge must now be near the vomit commit," Casey instructed while using a megaphone to get the attention of everyone.
Niu, Buck, Knick, and Janet watched the eight competitors, Casey, and Meredith gathered around the vomit comet while still sitting on the kid-size chairs. Which were getting uncomfortable.
Confessional – Janet
She was sad. "First, I found out Edgar was using me and now I can't even participate in the next parts of the challenge I was most excited for. I'm the space geek and yet I can't be a part of what I'm good at because of the obstacle course."
End Confessional
"Okay contestants, part two of today's challenge is surviving the vomit comet. You may have noticed this bad boy has been upgraded. It can now fit up to eight people inside. Which coincidently aligns with how many are left in the challenge," Casey informed.
"Is not a coincidence if you already planned it," Lucy replied with a smirk. "Did you really expect any of us to think this was by pure chance?"
Jane slowly raised her hand sheepishly.
"Everyone will fasten their seatbelts to not fly around in the vomit comet," Casey continued explaining, ignoring what the detective told her. "There are no seats. Just strap onto them. First, four to pass out or either vomit due to the velocity and constant spinning will be out of the challenge."
Meredith opened the door of the vomit comet. Georgia went in first. Followed by Jett, Melissa, Edgar, Pharaoh, Lucy, Christopher, and Sara. Each competitor put on a seatbelt. Meredith closed the door.
The intern then pressed a button on a control panel that was near the vomit comet. The ride began to spin and quickly picked up speed.
"Who do you think is going to make it to the third part of the challenge?" Niu asked Knick, Buck, and Janet.
"Hmm, I think Melissa can pass this one. She has great endurance from what I've seen," Buck answered.
"Without a doubt, Christopher will make it to the last part of the challenge," Knick spoke with confidence.
"Didn't he have a big meal for breakfast?" Niu asked the journalist.
"I doubt he's going to end up vomiting his food," Knick replied, still assured in the warrior.
"What about you Janet?" Buck asked nicely.
"I hope Edgar loses. That way I can tell him off," Janet grumbled.
Back inside the vomit comet, Pharaoh passed out due to the high speed. Christopher then vomited his breakfast meal. Since the comet was constantly spinning around, the vomit got on everyone. This made Sara vomit from the grossness. Only five players remained in the second part of the challenge.
Confessional – Georgia
"I was going to save this dagger down the road, but I witnessed an opportunity and I'll gladly take it."
End Confessional
Georgia pulled out the dagger from her tight black pants pocket and began cutting the seatbelt Lucy has on since the detective was closest to her. Lucy, knowing the intention grabbed Georgia's wrist with her hands to stop the actress from fully cutting the seatbelt.
Georgia dropped the dagger into her other hand and sliced the seatbelt. Due to how fast the ride was spinning, Lucy was sent flying into the door and shattered it since it was made from glass. Everyone outside the vomit comet saw Lucy fly and hit the ground hard. The detective rolled on the floor until eventually came to a stop.
"Stop the ride now," Casey ordered Meredith after being shocked by what just happened.
Meredith pressed the stop button on the control button. She, Casey, and those who did not last in the first part of the challenge quickly ran to Lucy with worry. Inside the ride, everyone went out to see the damage Lucy got except for Pharaoh who is still passed out. Edgar came back to take off his seatbelt and take him out of the ride.
Confessional – Jett
He stood there with massive guilt for helping Georgia injure Lucy like that.
End Confessional
Everything at the moment was black until two eyes opened to see a clean room with white painted walls. These eyes were from Lucy. She looked to her right and noticed Chef in the room with a saddened look.
"Ch-Chef?" Lucy wondered if that was really the bulky cook. "Where am I?" Her face had several cuts thanks to the shattered glass she crashed into.
"You're in the hospital," Chef answered.
A full shot was shown of the room. Lucy lay on a stretcher. She wore now a light blue robe.
"You suffered some injuries around your body and a head injury when impacting the floor," Chef revealed what happened.
"All I remember is me flying off into the vomit comet's glass door and everything else became a blank after that," Lucy said truthfully.
"Yeah, what I told you was after that," Chef made sure the detective understood.
"Am I going to be, okay?" Lucy asked concerned for her health.
"Yes, the doctor who attended you said it was impressive you didn't suffer anything too drastic where it would require brain surgery," Chef answered, letting her know she will be alright. "However, your injuries do need to heal. The doctor and nurses have to keep a constant check on you for your head while taking meds."
"Does that mean I'm medically evacuated from the competition?" Lucy felt that was the case with a frown.
"I'm afraid so," Chef confirmed. "I already called Casey and Chris about it and gave them the details. Casey most likely already talked to the remaining contestants about it."
Lucy nodded. She admitted in her mind this is not the way she thought she would be eliminated from the game. Nevertheless, it happened and there is nothing she could do to change it. What worried her the most was her boyfriend Pharaoh, who no doubt will find out that this was Georgia's doing. She needed to send a message to her boyfriend urgently. She stopped frowning but did not smile either.
"Chef, I need to give messages to the remaining players in the game. By any chance, you can get me tape recorders?" Lucy asked kindhearted.
Inside soundstage six, the contestants minus Lucy who did not make it to part three of today's challenge were sitting on the kid-size chairs. Pharaoh was still passed out. Everybody watching was practically glaring daggers a Georgia, who looked a bit conflicted at what she did.
Jett, Melissa, and Edgar decided to gaze at the high-tech scientific building.
"I'm going to be outside," Georgia told Casey as she passed by the hostess. "Tell me when the challenge resumes."
Casey had Christopher's two daggers in her hand confiscated. She was not happy at all with this. Sure, she likes the entertainment, but this went too far.
Jett decided to head outside and talk with his alliance partner.
Pharaoh woke up. "Where am I? What happened? Did I win?"
"No, you passed out during the vomit comet," Christopher informed.
"Oh," Pharaoh blinked twice then smiled. "That's fine. Lucy must have made it to the last part since she is not sitting on these cruddy kid chairs." He looked around. "Where is Lucy anyway?"
Pharaoh noticed the pensive stares he was getting. Including Melissa and Edgar who stopped looking at the small building.
"Guys, where's Lucy?" Pharaoh asked again.
Casey approached him to tell the news. "Lucy was medically evacuated."
Pharaoh did not believe this. "Is this some sort of joke? What do you mean medically evacuated?" He stood up aggravated. "Where is Lucy?"
"She is currently in the hospital with her injuries being attended to. She can longer participate in the competition," Casey answered tranquility to try and not get Pharaoh even angrier.
"You did something to cause this didn't you?" Pharaoh pointed at Casey.
"Pharaoh let her finish," Sara said to her friend caringly. "Just sit down and hear what Casey has to say."
Pharaoh crossed his arms and sat hard on the kid-size chair. Which broke the chair. This did not faze him.
"Georgia cut through Lucy's seatbelt which sent your girlfriend crashing into the door of the ride and hitting the ground hard," Casey completed.
Georgia, his ex-girlfriend. Was she that jealous? Or did she do this for her own malice needs? Was it to get back at him?
Pharaoh lowered his arms and cried. Sara and Christopher hugged him as he continued bawling his eyes out. Janet wanted to hug Pharaoh but having Edgar still in the game hindered her compassion.
Outside the soundstage, Georgia was sipping a bottle of water to pass the time. Why did she feel awful for injuring Lucy?
"I can't believe you did that," Jett exclaimed as he walked toward her.
Georgia stood in front of him a few feet away. "Hey, you wanted to lower the numbers of the Crowstillo Alliance."
"Do you have any idea what you just did?" Jett asked loudly, completely frustrated with himself and the light blue eyes girl.
"Uh, hello, did you not understand the plan I wanted to do?" Georgia's heart started to harden.
"Yes, but there could have been other ways to do that," Jett answered back. "Did you even calculate her getting injured like that?"
"No," Georgia answered. "She's just another person in our way. Worked out better than I expected."
"What you did back there could have killed her. You've been wanting to jump back into getting parts for your acting career yet what you did practically ruined any chance you had," Jett exclaimed, giving Georgia the harsh reality.
These words hurt hard into Georgia's soul. Who would want her in a movie now that she did this on the show? No one most likely. Not even voice acting. Everything she has done has all been completely in vain.
"W-why do you even care about this?" Georgia screeched, her voice cracking. She is trying to fight the guilt inside her. "Since when have you gotten soft? You don't even know Lucy. You say that my career might be ruined but look what have you done. You voted out the clown just so you can be in power. You allowed me to kiss Buford and get rid of him over pettiness. And you're partially responsible for Janet and Edgar for potentially breaking up. And you will continue to be like this for the rest of your life."
Jett flinched at the end. She was right. Oh, so right in every way. He clenched his fists. "Then maybe is about time I stop running away from my problems and make things right." He turned around walking away.
"What are you going to do? Tell Edgar the truth," Georgia spoke loud enough to be heard. "You will cost yourself the game. And both of us know you want to win badly."
Jett stopped in his tracks. How can he continue to be like this anymore? Georgia approached him from behind.
"If you value your position in the game, you will let me win the challenge so we can vote off a Crowstillo Alliance player," Georgia said close to Jett's ear.
Confessional – Georgia
"You know what? I don't care about my acting career anymore," Her heart hardened. "Everybody who has rejected me is a worthless human being and never realized how great I am. All I want now is to break every single spirit of every competitor left in the game that gets in my way. Once I become the final winner and get my money, I'll travel to some stupid country that doesn't watch this pathetic excuse of reality TV to make a fresh start."

Melissa, Georgia, Edgar, and Jett had on gray military uniforms. Each of them was holding a paintball gun. Jett was red, Melissa green, Georgia purple, and Edgar black. All four contestants left in the challenge are looking at the closed entrance to the high-tech building. The contestants out of the challenge were watching them. Pharaoh and Janet had complete sadness in their heart. The others as well, but not as big as those two.
"Attention troops," Casey came by to greet Jett, Georgia, Melissa, and Edgar. "The final part of today's challenge is a classic paintball shootout. All four of you will be inside the zero-gravity chamber shooting each other with paintball guns. The player with the least amount of paint on their uniform will win immunity for tonight's elimination ceremony."
"Will we actually be in zero-gravity inside?" Edgar asked.
"Yes," Casey confirmed with a nod.
"How much time do we have?" Melissa added.
"A minute," Casey answered with a big smile.
"Looks more like a building than a chamber," Jett commented.
Casey opened the entrance door and purposefully smacked Jett with it while smiling. "March in troops!"
Once the four players entered the chamber, Casey shut the door tight.
"You know, I feel like Chef and I should have switched places in these past two episodes," Casey said to the audience.
Inside the chamber was not much to look at. Everything was painted in white and the only things inside besides the contestants were dark blue crates.
"You think they would have labeled these crates," Melissa mentioned.
"Hey, you two," Edgar called to his Pre-merge Alliance members. "Now that Lucy is gone thanks to her," He glared at Georgia. "Let's vote her off."
"What about Janet?" Jett wondered, not making direct eye contact with the emo.
"What Janet did hurt a lot, but Georgia almost costing the life of Lucy is unforgivable," Edgar replied. He pointed his paintball gun at the actress. "She needs to be eliminated pronto."
"Can't let you do that Edgar," Jett talked with confliction in his voice. He wanted to tell Edgar the truth, but he could not give up everything he has to make it this far.
Melissa pointed her paintball gun and so did Jett.
"What are you two doing? Aim at Georgia," Edgar said, jumbled and miffed by this sudden betrayal.
"Edgar, if Georgia goes home today, we won't have an advantage against the Crowstillo Alliance going into the final ten. We need to give her immunity," Melissa explained.
"Are you even hearing yourself right now?" Edgar continued to be dumbfounded by this.
The timer inside the chamber started counting from the one-minute mark. All four players began to float.
"We lost Raymundo during a tiebreaker on the team Jett and I was on. Which made us lose Kristie after another loss. We can't risk a fifty-fifty percent chance of one of our allies losing another tiebreaker," Melissa continued giving her reasoning.
"Edgar please, we all know you have been through a lot today, but you have to look at the bigger picture," Jett begged. "Don't you want to win? Let everyone know you are not the same person you were last season. We need you, Edgar. What if the Crowstillo Alliance decides not to go after Georgia and eliminates you instead?"
"I am the wild card right now. It would be beneficial to be on my good side," Georgia added as she filed her nails.
Edgar started to shake from having to make such a big decision. Was it that risky to get rid of Georgia? After a lot of hesitation, he concluded to let go of his paintball gun and let it float around in the air.
Time passed. Casey looked at the watch she apparently had on her wrist to check the time. After a few seconds left to complete a minute, she opened the zero-gravity chamber's door.
"No way," Casey was surprised at the sight. Melissa, Jett, and Edgar's uniforms were splattered all over with paint while Georgia was completely spotless. "Well, I guess we have an obvious winner. Georgia won today's challenge!"
Georgia got out of the chamber and saw the contestants not happy with the result. She simply held her head high and left the soundstage without saying a word.
Jett, Melissa, and Edgar walked out of the chamber with mixed feelings. They did what they had to do to keep the Pre-merge Alliance victorious. However, they realized Georgia can side with the Crowstillo Alliance tonight if she felt like it.
Before the night commenced, Georgia got out of the communal shower with a towel wrapped around her body.
"We need to talk," Knick stated, scaring the actress.
"Is rude to sneak up on a lady such as myself," Georgia told the journalist snootily.
"Vote off Edgar tonight," Knick wasted no time.
"Oh, where are your friends?" Georgia asked with amusement.
"None of them want to deal with you despite not realizing we need a sixth vote for tonight," Knick answered.
"What's in it for me?" Georgia wondered, smirking with delight.
"Protection, nothing more. Nothing less," Knick offered.
Georgia chuckled. "You are so desperate to win, aren't you? I feel that way too Knick. I'm glad you are returning to your old Crowstillo Island routes. I wonder if that has to do anything with Yves?" She saw his glare and did not care. "Sure, I'll vote off Edgar tonight."
It was night. The eleven contestants were sitting at the bleacher of the Glided Chris Award Ceremony. The males were sitting in the first row while the females sat in the second row. Casey was in her fancy outfit on stage. Next to her on stage was that same glass table with Glided Chris Awards on top. Those being just one. Why? Because the players already voted. Everyone got a glided award except for Edgar and Janet.
Confessional – Edgar
"Here I am once again with someone I wanted to spend time with and boom, right in the feels. I guess going home today wouldn't be so bad."
End Confessional
"Janet, you received the most votes. You're out," Casey announced. She threw the last glided award to Edgar.
Edgar did not catch it for being too gloomy. So, it hit his head.
Janet stood up. "This is over, isn't it?" She asked as she looked at Edgar.
"I'm afraid so," Edgar believed.
"Very well," Janet understood and walked out of the bleacher. She turned around to wave goodbye to the Crowstillo Alliance and put on a brief smile.
Christopher, Pharaoh, and Sara waved back to her. Knick kept himself emotionless. He expected Edgar to go home not Janet. Georgia betrayed him.
"The rest of you are safe, for now. Go get some rest," Casey allowed the final ten to leave the ceremony.
Confessional – Niu and Buck
Buck had Niu sitting on his lap.
"We didn't do much today didn't we?" Niu asked her boyfriend.
"Well, we were both eliminated in the first part of the challenge," Buck reminded.
"True, let's do better next time," Niu encouraged. She kissed Buck's cheek. "Maybe you can make something that will benefit us."
"Not for hurting others, right?" Buck wanted to make sure.
"Of course, maybe a speed boost could work," Niu suggested.
Confessional – Christopher
"Man, I'm glad Casey never told Pharaoh that what Georgia used to cut Lucy's seatbelt was a dagger of mine. I lost it during my make-out session with Sara and Georgia must have found it. If anybody says something about it the Crowstillo Alliance might be in trouble."
Confessional – Sara
"Of course, Georgia won immunity. Why wouldn't she? Don't know how she got out of there spotless. Aren't the pre-mergers, well, now mergers working together? Unless they allowed Georgia to win to have her vote. Crud, we lost Lucy and Janet. This isn't good at all."
End Confessionals
"Sara is correct," Casey said at a camera to finish the episode. "Will the Crowstillo Alliance be able to bounce back against the Pre-Merge Alliance? Which side will Georgia take to benefit her? Find out next time on Total… Drama… Lights, Camera, Finale!"

Author's Note: Sorry if this chapter felt a bit rushed and/or had a lack of interactions between various players. When making the challenge and plotlines for this particular episode I did not have much to work with since the contestants kept on getting out of the challenge. Thankfully the next challenges will not have players losing part one and then having to wait out for a winner.
As for the eliminations, it was pretty clear Edgar or Janet would go home once the majority of the cast left knew they were together. Being a couple when both were in separate alliances was doomed for disaster. And they broke up for it. But not because of them, but because of Georgia, Knick, and Jett.
Lucy's elimination was needed to carry on the storylines of Georgia, Jett, Pharaoh, and the Crowstillo Alliance as a whole. Jett is starting to regret his actions. Georgia has pretty much decided not to redeem herself. For Pharaoh, you would have to find out in the next chapter.
