"Welcome back to the recap. Before the break, we recapped episodes four through six. Now, let's take a look at the first challenge from episode seven."
.
"You must find the Oregon flag that's hidden somewhere in this forest."
For this sniper challenge, at least one of us had to grab the flag. My goal was exactly the same as in All Through The Town. I needed to get shot.
"Have you guys seen any aggressors?"
"No. We're heading to you guys now."
After Lucina found the flag, my group decided to meet up with Miles, Maya, and Phoenix by going south.
"You guys, we have the second sniper in sight."
Luckily for me, that was where the second sniper was.
"IT'S UP TO YOU GUYS NOW! YOU NEED TO HURRY BECAUSE WE ONLY HAVE TWO-"
*ZAP*
I thought my sabotage worked, and the three of them couldn't get the flag with only two minutes left on the clock. I decided to give out a little plan to decrease suspicions about me. Looking back I shouldn't have said anything because to my amazement, the players won.
"I GOT THE FLAG!"
.
"Hats off to you, Phoenix." Miciah complimented "Once again, you won for the group by the skin of your teeth."
"I don't know how I've got so lucky in this game." Phoenix added "I'm usually unlucky."
"It's true." Maya chuckled "I've seen him in tons of predicaments."
"We could've won much earlier." Lucina complained "If I remember right, I saw the flag first. I wanted to use myself as a distraction while Ike and Fred ran to the flag. Why didn't you guys do that?"
"We wanted to wait for the others, so we could have more people to distract. There were only three of us." Fred explained
"It worked with us." Mike's countered
"How were we supposed to know that?" Ike questioned him
"Grail's right." Simon defended "Besides, they both got shot seconds after Lowell."
"Let's take a look at the next challenge."
.
"For each target you hit, you get to break a piggy bank."
I had a sabotage ready to go. I was going to hit four of the targets, and miss the last one.
"One."
"Two."
"Three."
"Four."
"FIVE!"
"LET'S GO!"
"NICE MICIAH!"
Of course I just HAD to hit the last one. At least it decreased suspicion, as well as Simon going for the exemption.
.
"Miciah, you also got the blue paint." Trucy reminded
"Yeah. I wanted to help you guys, and say it was good luck, in order to decrease suspicions even more."
"I remember how Simon got so mad because he went last." Ike laughed
"No one trusted me after the last episode, so I understand. No hard feelings."
Let's take a look at the Quiz. This is where Maya was bribed to leave the game.
1st. Simon 4/10 :51 EXEMPTION
2nd. Lucina 1/10 :33
3rd. Trucy 1/10 :52
4th. Miles 1/10 :55
5th. Maya 1/10 :56 BRIBED
6th. Apollo 1/10 1:00
7th. Phoenix 1/10 1:08
8th. Fredrick 1/10 1:59
9th. Ike 1/10 2:50
"What?" Fredrick gasped
"Ike?" Lucina asked shocked
"Yep. As you can see, Ike would have been the one leaving if Maya didn't accept the bribe. Thoughts on this?"
"I called it." Ike sighed "I thought I had the slowest time, but I didn't want to quit. Simon would've ridiculed me."
You got that right, Greil." Simon snickered
"Ike, who were you going for?"
"Mostly Maya, and a few answers on Trucy."
"Now let me ask you a question Maya. Why did you take the bribe?"
"I thought I had a really slow time on the quiz, and I wasn't sure if Nick was the Mole."
"You only took fifty six seconds, and the time difference for the tie was fifty one seconds." Phoenix told her "You would've been safe."
"First, I thought my time was 1:56 after I finished. Second, I was doubting myself. I thought I wouldn't have been able to make it to the end." Maya countered
"I don't think you had a chance." Miciah admitted "You stirred away from me after episode three, and Simon already had his suspects narrowed."
"Yeah. After you left, it was down to Miciah and Lucina." he added
"Well, let's take a look at episode eight."
.
"You have a chance to see your loved one."
As much as I wanted to see Sothe, I had a job to do. That job is of course sabotage. I decided to lie about Sothe's hair color, and pick Phoenix as my eyes. He forgot his glasses, so that was his mistake.
"He has lime green hair. That's the main thing you have to look for."
"UGH! I can't see that far!"
I thought for sure I wouldn't be seeing Sothe, but again I was wrong.
"MICIAH!"
"SOTHE! I MISSED YOU!"
.
"I was wondering why you were lying!" Phoenix laughed
"Sorry about picking you. I shouldn't have made you struggle."
"It's fine. At least I was able to beat another sabotage."
"Yep. You've definitely been a hero this season." she complimented
"Miciah?"
"Yes Simon?"
"Why didn't you sabotage by picking someone that wasn't my sister?"
"I have a heart. I didn't want to make you guys suffer by not being able to see your loved one. Plus, I had many other chances to take money."
"Moving on to the next challenge where Miciah did one of her most obvious sabotages."
.
"We asked your loved one a very simple question. Would you skydive?"
It's time to lift another secret off of my chest. That's right. I'm not afraid of heights.
"I can't do this. I CAN'T DO THIS!"
In truth, I would've easily jumped. However, I didn't want to go two full episodes without a successful sabotage.
.
SABOTAGE - $5,000
TOTAL - $126,000
.
"You dirty liar." Charlotte hissed
"You made me cry when you got upset over Sothe making the "wrong decision." Oboro air quoted
"I was actually suspicious about your so-called fear." Apollo admitted "But I thought it was fake sabotage."
"Same here." Miles added "I thought you were honestly pretending to be the Mole."
"I thought that move was genius." Simon spoke up "She took a personal hit in order to hide her sabotage. I mean, who wouldn't try their hardest to see their loved one?"
"Maybe Larry." Vaike teased "He can't get anyone to love him."
The audience is heard ohing at Vaike's roast.
"Yo. That was uncalled for." Larry snapped
"I'm just kidding bro."
"I know."
"No seriously. What girl would want to live with her broke boyfriend in his mother's basement?"
"ROASTED! ROASTED! ROASTED!" the audience is heard chanting
"Vaike, you seriously need to stop." Fredrick warned
"Yeah." Ike agreed "I don't tolerate bullies."
"Neither do I." Lucina chimed in "And I'm sure everyone else in this room agrees."
"Fine. I'll stop." he groaned "I just wanted to have a little bit of fun, and joke around."
"Not on live national TV though." Miles scolded
"Olivia and Inigo are probably watching, and they're embarrassed right now." Trucy commented
"Alright, I get it. I'm sorry about double roasting you Larry."
"Like I said, it's fine."
"Now that you're all settled down, let's look at the quiz for this episode. Miles was the next one to see his game come to an end."
1st. Simon 9/10 2:49
2nd. Trucy 5/10 1:22
3rd. Phoenix 4/10 1:38
4th. Apollo 3/10 1:02
5th. Lucina 1/10 1:04
6th. Ike 1/10 1:08
7th. Fredrick 1/10 1:10
8th. Miles 1/10 1:22
"Woah! Simon got a nine!" Charlotte gasped
"I will reveal that Simon was going to put his first five answers towards Miciah, and his last five towards Lucina. He kept putting Miciah down, because he noticed a hint in the first several questions of the quiz."
"No way!"
"Oh my God!"
"There were hints?!"
"What was the hint Simon?"
"We are not going to reveal the hints until later. We have plenty more episodes to cover first. Miles, who were you suspicious of?"
"I put most of my answers towards Trucy, and the rest towards Lucina."
"Let's take a look at the first challenge from episode nine."
.
"Guys! We have a problem!"
"What's wrong Lucina?"
"Fred noticed that the barricades are missing!"
"WHAT!?"
It wasn't Trucy who took the barricades. It was me. As soon as everyone went off exploring, I swiped them off the table.
"Lucina and I are going to conduct a strip search."
I don't think a strip search is going to help Fredrick. I've already hidden them.
"We're just going to have to win without them."
"Yeah. We can do this!"
Not if I have anything to say about it. Your struggle has only just begun.
"Does anyone have any idea of when this smoke is going to-"
*ZAP*
"WHAT THE HELL!?"
"WHO SHOT APOLLO?"
Whoops. Did you guys need him to defend?
"Bring it on aggressors. There's four of you, and seven of us."
I was able to inform them about the players strategy, so I thought they couldn't win. Once again, I was proven wrong. I can never catch a break.
"I GOT THE LAST AGGRESSOR!"
"NICE JOB IKE!"
.
"I thought for sure Trucy shot me." Apollo commented
"I would NEVER shoot you, Polly."
"You would if you were in my position." Miciah teased
"Wait a second. If Miciah stole the barricades, how did I find them under Trucy's hat in the bus?" Fredrick asked
"That's what I want to know." Lucina added
"A magician never ever reveals her secrets."
"Sorry Trucy, but we need to show everyone what happened."
"Alright fine. It wasn't magic. I was actually telling the truth when I said that I found them."
"Let's take a look."
.
"TRUCY JANELLE WRIGHT! GET BACK HERE!"
"OK, Daddy! I'm coming!"
"You can take my old spot. I'm over at your old post anyways."
"Thanks."
4:12 AM
Trucy is seen walking around the exterior of the fortress. She suddenly trips over a dirt pile. She shines her flashlight on the pile, and notices it looks like something was buried there. She looked to see if anyone was watching, and started to dig. After a few seconds of quick digging she felt something. She pulled what she found out of the dirt, and took a look at it. Her face became shocked when she realized that she was holding a box full of wires. She became even more shocked when she noticed that in the corner were several strands of silver hair.
.
"Maybe you shouldn't have left your hair there." Trucy smirked
"I didn't." Miciah defended "I had no idea some of my hair fell out."
"YOU DIDN'T!" Oboro gasped
"No. Not until the producers checked the camera footage. I was going to remove my hair strands, but by then, it was too late."
"Yeah it was." Truvy agreed "I already knew you were the Mole, and I stuffed the box in my hat."
"After the barricades were found, you were chained up. Let's take a look at that challenge."
.
"I'm not going for that exemption. I swear to God."
I actually didn't want to sabotage this challenge. My real goal was to grab the key first. That was super easy, because everyone trusted me. Well, almost everyone.
"I don't mind letting Miciah go first."
"I trust her too."
"Me three."
The remaining players that were clueless about me probably thought that the Mole would want to stick around until the end to cause some drama. Since I was the first one to leave, that would make them less suspicious of me. Also, I wanted some alone time so I could talk with the producers about upcoming challenges.
"GOOD LUCK YOU GUYS!"
.
"Miciah, you were so right about that theory." Maya explained "I was so focused on Ike and Simon bickering."
"Me too." Charlotte added "I was wondering if the Mole was going to end up jumping in, and making things even worse."
"Apollo was right though." Kagero admitted "They've been acting like a bunch of immature preschoolers."
"It was kindergarteners." Apollo corrected
"Like I said before, I'm sorry about all the arguing." Simon sighed "And I shouldn't have said the whole Misty whore thing."
"Yeah. That was too far." Lucina scolded
"I understand if you can't forgive me for that one."
"It'll take some time." Ike told him
"Let's take a look at the quiz for this episode. Apollo, this was your last quiz."
1st. Trucy 10/10 1:09
2nd. Simon 9/10 1:28
3rd. Ike 2/10 1:03
4th. Phoenix 2/10 1:05
5th. Fredrick 2/10 1:06
6th. Lucina 2/10 1:18
7th. Apollo 2/10 1:21
"Trucy scored the first perfect score." Phoenix noticed
"You go Trucy." Maya giggled
"Speaking of Trucy, I went for her on the quiz." Apollo admitted
"So do I." Phoenix explained
"Our whole alliance did too." Fredrick added
"My plan was a success then."
"What plan?" Apollo wondered
"To make you all think I was the Mole. Eliminate you one by one, until I get to the end."
"You're plan worked so well." Athena complimented "I'm impressed."
"Me too." Miciah admitted "You were made for this game."
"Awww thanks you guys."
"Coming up, we'll look back at the next three episodes. Don't move a muscle, cause we'll be right back."
