"Last time on Total Drama Island… The teams were dissolved leaving each and every camper to look out for number one. And just to add a little more drama to the mix, Lightning and Eva returned for more fun. The campers all had to play a game of No Pain No Game, in the end Brick and Jo both used their alliances to eliminate Eva." Chris recapped "Now that the campers are forced to fend for themselves, who will be selfless? Who will be selfish? And who will eat shellfish? Stay tuned for the most thrilling episode yet, on Total... Drama... Island!"
(After theme song)
We see Lightning wake up in his trailer that he won last episode.
"This is the life," Lightning smiled after he got outside.
Confessional: Lightning
"All I have to do is win the money and I'll be set for the future," Lightning thought ahead.
Confessional Ends
Dawn was hanging upside down on a tree as she did her meditation while a bird flew up to her and started whistling.
"Early bird's got the worm for you?" Dawn asked the bird, who actually spat out a worm. "Um, no thanks."
Shawn got down from his tree and saw Dawn's position. "What are you doing?"
"I'm doing a form of upside down meditation," Dawn responded. "I let the blood flow and clear out my thoughts."
"But a vampire might come and suck out your blood if you're not too careful," Shawn warned her.
"You don't have to fear everything just because you watched too many scary movies as an impressionable child." Dawn advised the conspiracist.
Shawn was disturbed by her. "I'm gonna go." He dashed off.
Confessional: Dawn
"Shawn was scared when I told him his aura," Dawn mused. "Now that I think about it, Rodney did feel the same way when I told him his. I don't intend to make people weary of me. I just want to give them advice."
Confessional Ends
Soon we hear Chris make an announcement on the speakers in a pirate voice "Argh you landlubbers, meet me at the amphitheater in five minutes to discuss today's challenge!"
We then cut to Chris who was wearing a pirate outfit, and the contestants at the amphitheater
"All right my young scallywags. Have we got an adventure in store fo ye!" Chris said in his accent as his plastic parrot fell from his shoulder and he fixed it.
"What's under the sheet?" Ella asked.
"All in good time laddie." Chris told Ella before speaking to all the contestants "Who here has a hankering for a good old fashioned treasure hunt?"
"I am." Geoff said happily.
"Now this treasure hunt's got a twist mateys. What yer lookin' for isn't hidden and, it isn't treasure." Chris instructed.
"If there's no treasure, then what's with the eyepatch and the plastic parrot?" Duncan asked the host.
"Yer lookin' for keys to a treasure chest. Inside each chest is a treasure that will pamper you landlubbers! And one of these chests will even give you... invincibility! Har har har!"
Chef shows up in a pirate hat with a bucket with a bunch of wood in it.
"Now all of you come up and pull a clue from this bucket or you'll all be forced to walk the plank!" Chris instructed.
The campers then grabbed their clues from the bucket and looked at them "These clues tell ye where yer key be stowed." Chris said.
"My key is under a bear?" Cody growled.
"Sucks to be you," Chris taunted the geek.
Beth was seen with her clue being a fridge.
"Chef's fridge. Nice. I hear he brushes it daily for fingerprints." Chris said in his normal voice.
Brick saw that his key was in the septic tank.
"That's right, there's a septic tank for the bathrooms." Chris smirked.
Confessional: Brick
"I am not happy with this challenge." Brick complained "but I have to get immunity for me and save Cody from elimination."
Confessional: Ella
"Hooray! We're on a treasure hunt!" Ella piped up. "I know my key is with bees, but treasure hunting is still a delight."
Confessionals End
After the confessional we see Harold standing near the water where sharks were guarding the buoy that had the key tied to it.
"Harold must grab the key from the shark infested lake." Chris voiceovers.
Harold then smiled getting an idea as he went to get a dead fish and threw it in the lake making the sharks swim away.
Dawn watched with a worried look as Harold swam to get his key.
Harold then untied the rope and got his key and swam back to shore.
"That was a bit difficult but I made it." Harold said, relieved, making Dawn smile in relief.
We then cut to the kitchen where Beth was trying to sneak in, she then opened the door to the fridge only to see Chef in there holding the frying pan. Beth then walked out of the kitchen with her eyes widened.
Ella saw her predicament. "What seems to be the problem?"
"Chef made it hard for me to even get the key." Beth moaned.
"Allow me to be of service," Ella offered. "I'll need Luna for this."
We then see Dawn near a skunk hole and she begins holding her nose.
"What's wrong?" Harold asked.
"My key is in that skunk hole." Dawn explained.
"Look I already got my key, maybe I can help you out." Harold offered.
Confessional: Harold
"I've been working on my courting skills," Harold said. "Yep, I've mastered girl whispering."
Confessional Ends
Beth was holding a carrot for Luna. "Just get the key, and this carrot is yours."
Luna agreed to it. She hopped quickly onto the table where the key was while Chef was napping.
"How come all the other kids get ponies?" Chef sleeptalked.
Luna was startled, but let go of it and grabbed Beth's key. Afterwards, she came back to Beth and Ella.
"Great job, Luna." Ella congratulated while Beth got her key.
"She's really domesticated," a grateful Beth commented. "My pets can be a little wild."
"Luckily, I just taught her good manners and how to behave," Ella explained.
What they didn't know is that Jo was watching them.
Back to Harold and Dawn, they were still discussing their plan.
"Okay how should I go about this?" Dawn asked.
"Just dump water in the hole and flush the skunk out." Harold said "It'll work fine."
"I know skunks can't drown, so I'll try it," Dawn told him.
"Cool." Harold said.
Soon we see Harold and Dawn with a bucket of water as they poured the water into the hole and flushed the skunk out.
Dawn grabbed her key. "Thank you for your support." Dawn kissed Harold, who smiled bashfully.
Unknown to them, Jo had oversaw them together.
Confessional: Jo
"Dweebzilla and Aura Power can wait" Jo said before smirking. "I need to take care of Ella first. If she thinks she can take my lackey from me, she's dead wrong."
Confessional Ends
We then see Duncan jumping through the ring of fire and getting his key.
"Duncan's tough exterior seems to be helping with his challenge."
"But good ole Sky seems out of her league."
Sky was seen climbing a tree containing the key, though a woodpecker started to peck at the tree.
Soon we see Ella and Beth near a beehive swarming with bees.
"Let me do this," Beth offered.
"Really?" Ella widened her eyebrows. "You'd do that?"
"You helped me get my key. This is my chance to repay you," Beth said.
Beth picked up a rock and threw it at the beehive, breaking it. The bees then started chasing Beth.
"I do hope she'll be alright." Ella prayed and got her key.
Beth jumped into the lake in order to avoid the bees.
Meanwhile Cody saw the bear sleeping with the key around his neck.
"I can't believe I'm about to do this." Cody griped as he silently tiptoed over.
Cody was close to taking the key around it off the bear's neck quietly, but the bear quickly pulled him over and held him as a pillow, much to Cody's distraught.
Elsewhere, Jo saw her key on a snake. She knew that she could get bitten, so she had gloves on. She snatched her key, and even though the snake bit her, she didn't feel it since her skin was covered.
Meanwhile, Ella helped Beth out of the water and winced at how stung Beth was.
"Sorry about what you had to go through," Ella sympathetically told her friend.
"No worries. I love bees, but they only get angry when you provoke them," Beth said.
"People are afraid of them for a reason," Ella added on.
Just then, Jo walked over to the two.
"What happened to you," Jo asked Beth once she saw her stings.
"I tried to help Ella with her key, so the bees stung me." Beth answered.
Jo got suspicious. "Beth, you wouldn't mind if I talk to Ella in private?"
"I don't have a problem with that. I can go wash off the bee stings," Beth walked away.
The minute Beth was out of their sight, Jo grilled onto Ella.
"What the heck?" Jo asked the fairytale princess. "You think you can steal Beth from me?"
"I have no idea what you're talking about," Ella hesitantly said.
"You got Beth to get your key for you somehow," Jo barked.
"I had helped her before, and she just wanted to repay the favor," Ella replied.
"Yeah right. You probably did that so she'd be loyal to you," Jo sniffed.
"I'm not trying to manipulate Beth," Ella denied a little frustrated.
"If so, just stay out of my way and hers as well," Jo demanded.
"I have the right to talk to whoever I want," Ella shot a mad expression at Jo. "You cannot deny it to me."
Ella left Jo alone, to which Jo furiously leered back.
Confessional: Ella
"I don't want to believe it, but Jo's not so nice at all," Ella told the camera. "She can't just forbid me from talking to people."
Confessional Ends
Back to the challenge, Lightning was trying to retrieve his key from a glass hidden under a rickety bridge and between two vicious-looking crocodiles. He kept trying to avoid the crocodiles by staying over a wooden bridge.
At this point, Cody was trying to escape from the bear's hold. He almost did, but the bear chose to suck on his head.
Shawn was tasked to get his key from a rabbit. As he was getting close, the rabbit roared at him, causing him to take cover on a branch.
Jo was sitting down in front of her cabin when a scratched up Lightning passed by her.
"You will not believe what I had to go through just to get this key," Lightning twirled his key on his finger.
"I know your key was with the crocodiles," Jo said.
"Yeah you're right," Lightning groaned. "So where's Beth?"
"Well, here's what happened," Jo answered.
A flash occurred, and Lightning was running around. "No way is that princess gonna get away with this.
First, he decided to speak to Sky. "I need your help with getting Ella booted. She's being shashady right now."
Afterwards, the tree that Sky was holding onto broke and fell onto the ground.
Duncan was chilling with his key in hand. Lightning then whispered in his ear about his plan, making Duncan wonder about what to do.
Afterwards, Lightning spotted Shawn hiding from the rabbit. He did a boost jump on the branch and whispered his plan.
"All right campers meet me by the campfire pit in ten. And bring your keys." Chris announced on the loudspeakers.
Confessional: Lightning
"If that doesn't convince the others to vote out Ella, then I'll try again after the challenge" Lightning shrugged.
Confessional Ends
The campers gathered around the campfire, far away from Brick. "Yar!" Chris announced in his pirate voice, "It be time to claim yer treasure! Those fortunate enough to bear yer precious key, come forth with it."
Duncan opened his chest and got chips and a chocolate bar. "Chips and a chocolate bar? Whatever."
Cody then tries to use his key on the treasure chest but it didn't open.
"My key isn't opening anything." Cody said.
"About that, some keys don't open any chests." Chris smirked.
"Seriously! Can you at least do something about the bear?" Cody suggested when it's revealed that the bear had Cody in their mouth.
Tranquilizer darts were shot at him and the bear, making them pass out.
Soon we see Sky use the key on her treasure chest and she finds an immunity pass. "Awesome. I didn't know this would be here."
Everyone was noticeably okay with this.
Next, Brick opened up his chest and found cologne. "What is this?"
"Brick will be able to cover up that foul stench with a can of New Cleaver Body Spray. Cleaver. It cuts through the stink." Chris detailed.
"This can definitely come in handy for me," Brick said with gratitude.
The camera flashed to the campers standing with their treasures and panned to show them all: Lightning with a leg-lamp, Ella with an accordian, Beth with a toaster, Jo and Shawn with nothing, Dawn with a makeup kit, and Harold with bottles of soda. Chris then began speaking, "I hope everyone got the treasure they were looking for, and more! But now it's time to do your duty and send one of you off the island for good. So cast your votes. And I'll see ye buccaneers back at the campfire at sundown. Argh har har." He said that last part in his pirate voice.
Ella was sitting on the dock with Luna nearby.
"The sun's about to go away and the moon will soon arrive," Ella observed the sky, making Luna chitter. "I know that the elimination ceremony will happen. You don't need to remind me." Luna squeaked again. "I could be in danger of being eliminated?" Luna once again squeaked in response. "You're right. I'll just need to get help from a few friends."
The scene cut to Cody and Brick near the bathroom.
"This cologne does wonders," Brick marveled at his prize. "My stench from the toilet is gone."
"At least you got something." Cody remarked towards the cadet.
Ella then came into the scene. "Hello my former teammates."
"Hey Ella. What's up?" Cody flirted. "I mean, how's it hanging?"
Confessional: Cody
"That's the second time Ella came up to me in person!" Cody piped up. "I'm still writing that haiku for her."
Confessional Ends
Brick made Cody be quiet by squeezing his shoulder. "What brings you over?"
"I have a suggestion for elimination, and you two seem trustworthy enough to converse with," Ella cheerfully stated.
"You're trustworthy enough too," Cody smiled. "You can be in our alliance if you want."
"Really? That's wonderful," Ella cheered.
"I'm glad to have you with us, but who do you want to eliminate?" Brick wondered.
"I suggest Jo," Ella answered.
"Why do you bring her up?" Brick asked the princess.
"She's just not a very nice individual," Ella continued. "She even told me to stay away from Beth when I tried to offer her my friendship."
"I don't disagree with you about her. She mocks me a lot. Plus, she got Noah and Heather eliminated," Cody recapped.
"How did Jo get Heather eliminated?" Ella interrupted.
"Noah told me that Heather wouldn't be dumb enough to borrow the cursed item from Boney Island, and Jo is the only one cunning enough to shove it onto her," Cody reasoned.
"But if Heather and Jo knew that the tiki doll was cursed, then how was it even brought onto here?" Brick asked the geek.
"I don't know who would bring it here, but Cody, I believe you about Jo framing Heather," Ella nodded her head.
"I used to work with Jo, but she's not an honorable competitor from what I heard," Brick mused. "I'll vote for her alongside you two."
"Deal," Cody ended the conversation.
Meanwhile Jo and Lightning were behind the outhouse and Lightning seemed shocked at what Jo was saying, "She did sha-what?!"
"I know. Ella's been manipulating Beth to turn her against us." Jo said, feigning disappointment.
"But Ella seems so nice. Why would she do that?!" Lightning asked incredulously.
"You've ever seen these types of reality shows? No one is ever that nice." Jo explained with an annoyed look, "I mean, Beth, Brick and Cody are nice but even they have flaws. Ella is acting out to be this saint. Surely you understand my point?"
Lightning seemed to raise an eyebrow and glared to the left which Jo smirked at, "Tell some guys to vote off Ella due to her popularity. It's for the best anyway."
Confessional: Lightning
"Looks like Ella's going down." Lightning gave a thumbs down.
Confessional: Dawn
"I'm gonna go with Jo." Dawn said.
Confessional: Shawn
"You're kinda the biggest threat." Shawn winced.
Confessional: Sky
"I honestly have no choice." Sky shrugged.
Confessional: Harold
"I was told that Ella would be voted out." Harold informed the viewers. "I'm not gonna get left out."
Confessional: Brick
"Jo's my biggest competition, so her leaving would make more sense." Brick said.
Confessional: Ella
"Hopefully the voting will go as planned." Ella crossed her fingers.
Confessionals End
We then cut to the campfire with all the campers there.
"And now the moment we've all been waiting for. The moment of truth." Chris said seriously before beaming "Marshmallow time! You know the deal, if you don't get a marshmallow it's curtains for you."
We see everyone with a stern face before Chris began speaking and one by one he passed the marshmallows "Beth, Cody, Lightning, Brick, Harold, Dawn, Sky, Duncan, Jo, Shawn marshmallows for all of you."
Ella looked shocked when she saw that there were no marshmallows left on the plate.
"Sorry Ella, you're out." Chris apologized nonchalantly.
"But I thought I was getting along so well with everybody." Ella said in shock.
"Well that's why we voted for you." Shawn shrugged nonchalantly.
"Sorry girl. No one's gonna stop the Lightning from getting that money." Lightning flexed in determination.
Jo just smirked at Beth, who sighed sadly.
Ella knew exactly what happened. "I think I know what happened, but I'm not going to throw a tantrum just like Heather did." Ella sighed, "I did have my fun, but the votes have spoken."
A little tune began to play, much to everyone's surprise.
"Why is there music playing?" Chris wondered.
Ella started to sing, "My time on the show is finished and done, but that's not to say I didn't have fun. I'll do my best not to cry, but now I have to say goodbye."
The birds surrounded Ella one last time.
"I came on Total Drama, and survived it just fine, with only minor damage to the base of my spine." Ella signaled.
"I gave it my best try, but now I have to say goodbye!" Ella got carried by the birds.
"I met many people who were special and funny." Ella sang, the birds carrying her through the Dock of Shame and placing her on the boat. "I even found this adorable bunny!"
On her words, Luna ran up to Ella's hands, ready to leave as well.
"I'll do my best not to die," Ella continued as the boat began to leave. "Cause now I have to say goodbyyyyyeeee!" The song ended with Ella fading away.
The campers were there to wave goodbye to her, even the more rough ones.
Confessional: Cody
"I can read my haiku to you if Ella's not here." Cody moped as he held up his poem. "My name is Cody. Ella is your given name. Four digits pairs us."
Cody sighed sadly, "Yeah this is pointless."

Author's Note: Oh the sweet naive Ella. Originally she was supposed to leave two episodes later but after a while, I decided to bring her here instead since she lacked the plot to continue. At least now she stood up to someone who was treating her like crap and wasn't completely oblivious. It's a win-win.
