"Welcome back to Total Drama Island!" The recap started on a close-up of the camp sin before zooming out to show the rest of the dock. Chris walked on screen and continued, "It's been a long time since you last saw our campers slugging it out for the one hundred thousand dollar grand prize. Since the competition came to it's shocking and dramatic conclusion, our campers have had some time to snack on some real food," the camera cut to Chef in his swimsuit and glaring and then back to the host, "No offense Chef, take a hot shower, get their stuff back, and even peruse their emails from home."
"There were losers," he quickly ducked under a toaster that had been thrown at him, "okay, a lot of losers," he laughed for a bit, "but there was only one winner. Sky," he held up a picture of the athlete making a fighting pose, "the youngest of two sisters with a competitive desire to claim victory, turned out to be the surprise champ."
The recap started showing clips of her time on the show. "With her sportsmanship, ambition, and athleticism, she ended up with one massive prize. She's planning a wicked sports party for her fellow campers this winter. But first, they're gonna move their booties for one final poolside wrap party. And tomorrow, everybody's heading for home."
The recap ended and the camera cut back to Chris, "Or are they?" He winked at the camera. "Find out here, on Total! Drama! Island!"
(After theme song)
The episode started with a shot of the buffet table at Playa de Losers. Chef was cooking steak, Eva was eating marshmallows, and Sky, Owen, and Mike were dancing while Ezekiel watched nearby with a nervous expression.
Owen cheered while Sky held her check of a hundred thousand dollars, "This is an awesome party!"
Lightning ran on screen in his swimwear and with a frisbee and tossed it off screen. The camera followed it as it flew through the air.
It cut ahead to Cody, who caught it with a smile as Ella, Sadie, and Rodney watched. "All right!" the geek commented, "No more challenges or alliances! We can finally just hang!" He threw the disc back and fell in the water in the process.
The camera followed the flying disc again as it crossed the pool and soared over the hot tub where Jo was currently residing. Lightning easily caught the disc, then immediately turned and threw it onwards. It flew past the island bar where Beth and Courtney were sitting, and was caught by Brick.
"Wow! I didn't even break my wrist once!" Brick announced. "Heads up!" He tossed the frisbee to Cody.
"Brick is looking good today," Courtney swooned as the camera focused on her and Beth. "He can easily be a counselor in training like me!"
"I sense a crush," Beth teasingly smirked. "He is a dreamboat after all."
"I just admire Brick," Courtney denied. "He's a team player and a strong ally, even if he gets spooked out by darkness."
Confessional: Beth
"She likes him. No doubt," Beth said in the outhouse confessional.

A disco theme began to play as the focus cut back to Chef as he skewered the steak he'd been cooking, took a deep whiff of its smell, and put it back on the grill with a happy sigh. He danced a bit as it sizzled, and the camera panned over to Owen gorging herself at the buffet with marshmallows as Eva and Sky watched nearby.
"I'm at 95 marshmallows," Owen told the female bully.
"And with that, Owen's the winner of this chow down," Sky declared.
"Don't worry. 37's not bad, Eva." Owen comforted before drinking two cans of soda, and after doing so, threw the cans away. "With a little more practice, you'll be burping like-" he let out a burp so loud and big, it caused Amy and Lindsay, who were in the pool, to get sent back by a wave.
"Sorry, everyone!" Owen apologized before feeling queasy. He ran over to where Chef was cooking and puked all over the steak, much to the cook's annoyance. "That was really wild, dudes. Who wants some hot dogs?"
Confessional: Owen
"How can you not burp your heart out and come back for more?" Owen asked the viewers.

The camera focused on Harold lounging on a deck chair. Dawn walked on screen with a smile, causing Harold to stand up and flex his non-existent muscles. "Hi, Dawn," he said.
Dawn was amused by his attempts to impress her. "I see you're trying to impress me, but you shouldn't act like somebody you're not. That'll make you look bad."
"I guess you're right," Harold stopped flexing and pulled out a bouquet of flowers. "These are for you."
Dawn took the flowers from him. "The flowers are beautiful, but there's something I want to tell you."
Harold got a little scared. "Are you going to break up with me?"
"Nothing like that," Dawn reassured. "Ever since you came to the resort, we got to spend more time together, but lately, I feel as if we've been distancing ourselves from our friends."
"I quit the competition just to help you get better when you got injured that time," Harold said. "And we had just become a couple then. I wanted to get to know you better."
"And we did just that when we were together here," Dawn claimed. "Just for today, let's not talk to each other and instead talk to our own friends. Can you do that for me?" she let out a sad puppy-dog face.
"I don't want to become a satellite love interest, so yeah, I'll be with my friends," Harold agreed and walked away. "Let's talk to each other tomorrow."
Confessional: Harold
"Yeah, Dawn and I are pretty tight. I'm sure we'll go out on dates after the show's over. Maybe move in together when we're like, thirty. I'd have to ask my mom first, but I'm sure it'd be alright. Maybe she'd let us have the basement." Harold drank from his bottle of soda. "That'd be cool."
Confessional Ends
The camera cut to the edge of the pool, where Dawn, Ella, and Sadie were all hanging out with each other while Cody caught the frisbee and threw it to Lightning. "I think the best part about being on the island was having the chance to meet new people," Sadie started the conversation.
"I have no problem denying that statement," Dawn said.
"Me too," Ella nodded.
"Here's something I want to show you two," Dawn pulled out a picture of a treehouse consisting of candles, tea pots, and coffee mugs.
"Nice treehouse," Sadie complimented.
"Is this where you meditate?" Ella wondered.
"Yes, but I only go there for emergencies only or if I'm feeling stressed out," Dawn informed her friends.
The camera panned out to show Lightning waiting for the frisbee. "C'mon frisbee. Get in my hands." He got hit in the head by the frisbee, causing him to fall into the pool.
Meanwhile, Lindsay and Amy were sitting together looking at Lindsay's phone. "Aww, look! Maggie, Bree, and Heidi are planning a giant welcome home party for me!"
"Lucky," Amy said.
"And Dusty will be there as well," Lindsay added and cheered while Lightning was still struggling in the water.
Brick noticed his plight, tore off his tank top, and jumped in the pool and swam to save the overachiever. Surprisingly, it was Lightning who emerged carrying Brick. The overachiever put the cadet on an empty lounge chair. Noah and Rodney walked on screen, the former bored out of his mind.
"On the farm, it's just me, my dad, and my five little brothers. I'm kinda used to being in charge." Rodney told the schemer. "I didn't get to showcase my leadership skills, but I'll put them to great use when the time comes."
"I hope that goes well for you," Noah deadpanned.
"Is something the matter?" Rodney asked with concern.
"You talking about your brothers reminds me of my eight older brothers," Noah brought up. "I'm the youngest, so most of the time I can get overlooked."
As they walked past Jo in the hot tub, Ron and Luna saw the jockette there. With a bucket of cold water, Luna grabbed it and got on top of Ron. Ron flew over to Jo and let Luna pour the water onto Jo's face. As soon as she started to look around, Luna and Ron got out before they could be spotted.
The camera flashed to Duncan and Shawn, the latter looking embarrassed by the former's dancing. "Duncan," he said, "your dancing is kind of embarrassing."
"Why so uptight, Grimes?" Duncan replied. "You got to spend time at a resort before I did."
"All my traps got set off, so now I have to install new ones," Shawn mentioned.
"Wow. Hello, downer. Come on, relax. It's almost over. I thought you'd be happy." Duncan said.
"I am, but I have to grab more water balloons now," Shawn left him.
Ella, Sadie, and Dawn were still sitting by the edge of the pool. Heather walked past them, and the three girls saw a yellow painted smiley face on the back of her hair. This caused them to laugh.
"How did she even get that?" Dawn asked.
"I drew it while she was sleeping," Sadie explained.
Heather turned her head, causing the girls to silence their laughter. "What's so funny?"
Confessional: Sadie
Sadie started her confessional with a laugh. "I could've drawn it on her forehead, but that would've ruined the joke. It's the least she deserves for how she treated me back at camp."
Confessional Ends
Three dramatic notes played over the loudspeaker, and the camera showed all the campers looking at something. Then it focused on a simple looking briefcase in the hands of the host before panning up to show his smiling face.
Chris finally put the briefcase down next to Duncan and Shawn and greeted them. "Hello, campers!"
"That's ex-campers to you," Duncan corrected.
"Yeah," Shawn agreed. "Your twisted game is over."
"We'll see about that," Chris whispered to Chef before addressing the campers again. "Congratulations to our winner! Sky, you played hard," a clip of her jumping into Vito's hands was shown, "fought hard," she was shown going to get the wimp key, "ate hard," she was shown eating the dirt muffins, "and cooperated harder," various clips of her showing off her athletic prowess were played. "Not sure how," the host continued, "but you beat every other person on this island, and your pockets will soon be stuffed with che-ddar!"
The ex-campers cheered again for the season's winner, and with a smile Sky commented, "I don't want to brag, but I am the most athletic out of everyone here."
"You can keep your prize of a hundred thousand dollars, but what I'm about to offer you all may change all that!" Chris interrupted, a gong ringing softly as he motioned to the case in Chef's hands. "Inside this suitcase," he said as the hulking cook raised it high, "is One! Million! Dollars!" Each word was accompanied by a gleam from the case as the camera focused in on it and the music became tense. "We had our PAs make a cardboard check of this awesome new prize," he said as a massive shadow fell on Sky, Noah, Shawn, Duncan, and the two adults. The camera cut to the corner of the check moving across the sun, the ground shaking as it was pushed past the pool of Playa Des Losers as Lightning, Cody, Brick, Sadie, Dawn, Ella, and Heather watched in horror, and a final cut to the island from a distance revealing it to be about half the height of the tallest hill on the island. "WE WENT THROUGH A LOT OF CARDBOARD TO MAKE THIS!" Chris yelled over the shot of the gigantic prop, his voice echoing over the sheer distance.
"Campers," the host stood in front of everybody present, "this million dollars could be yours, all you have to do is figure out where we are about to hide it, and bring it to the Dock of Shame before anyone else does!"
"You're telling us that we all have a chance to win a million dollars?" Ezekiel asked.
"Yep," Chris got proven correct. "Throughout the day, I'll give you all hints from the loudspeakers just to make sure you're not completely lost."
Confessional: Courtney
"Okay. This just got interesting again." Courtney grew a competitive face.
Confessional Ends
"All right campers," Chris announced as he held up a pop gun. "The ultimate million dollar challenge begins... now!" He fired the gun, and the cork hit a nearby bird.
Chris and Chef looked at the others, none of whom seemed the least bit excited and in fact were giving the two scowls – Luna, Ron, Amy, Lindsay, Shawn, Duncan, and Jo by the hot tub; Lightning, Cody, Brick, Sadie, Dawn, Ella, and Heather by the pool; Courtney, Beth, Rodney, Harold, and Noah a little further on; and Owen, Mike, Ezekiel, Eva, and Sky near the buffet table.
"Let me get this straight," Heather got close to Chris. "After messing with our heads for an entire summer, you expect us to start running around the island like idiots all over again?"
"That's right," Chris smiled.
"But how do we know you didn't stuff that suitcase with bricks?" Sadie shot him down.
"You don't" Chris smugly said.
"I'd love to play another round of "Humiliate the Teens", but I've got a buffet to eat." Noah grabbed the plate of marshmallows.
"Aw, sit on it," Jo scoffed.
"Yeah!" Eva agreed.
"You can suit yourselves if you want," Chris calmly said.
"Fine!" Brick said.
"Fine!" Mike sniffed.
"Yeah, right." Rodney blew him off.
Seeing that he wasn't getting anywhere, Chris came up with a new offer. "How about this? If you all partake in the challenge, not only will you get to take the million dollars home, but you will also get an extra week here at Playa des Losers before you all go home. What do you say?"
The camera showed shots of the ex-camper's resolve weakening. Amy coughed to clear her throat. Cody was nonchalantly whistling, and Heather donned a competitive smirk. Suddenly, they all started running to find the case. The camera lingered on Chris and Chef when a loud crash was heard. Chris smiled, and Chef let out a piercing whistle that forced an end to the campers argument as they looked in his direction.
"Hey! I've got an idea!" Beth suggested from the top of the pile after a moment of silence. "Let's work together as a team! We can split the prize twenty-two ways and share it!"
"Like that's going to work," Chris laughed the idea off. "Here's how this is going to work. Put yourselves in groups in order to find the million. The maximum is four. I don't care who you partner up with anyway."
The twenty-two contestants and two pets untangled themselves and started to pick teams.
Amy was looking around for a partner, until a familiar arm tapped her on the shoulder.
"Do you want to be my partner for this, Aubrey?" Lindsay revealed herself as the arm.
"How do you keep getting our names wrong?" Amy groaned.
"Sorry. I meant Amy," Lindsay apologized.
"Regardless, let's work together," Amy agreed to a team up.
Confessional: Amy
"So far, Lindsay's called me Ally, Amelia, Aria, Alice, and now Aubrey?" Amy complained. "I'm going to have to remind her who we are before she gets the name of the U.S. president wrong."

The episode returned to a shot of two hands high-fiving. The camera zoomed out to show Cody, Owen, Rodney, and Lightning all in a group. "Aww, a guy's only team!" Owen cheered. "This is awesome!"
"Got that right, brotha! Us guys rule!" Lightning cheered. "I've been exercising ever since I came back here. My muscles are unbeatable!"
"Get over yourself," Eva shoved Lightning as she walked past them with Noah and Duncan.
"You better hope that your muscles can help you find the million dollars," Duncan quipped.
Confessional: Duncan
"What a doofus!" Duncan said in the confessional. "That million is about to be in my pocket. Or in my duffle bag. I'm not really sure how much space a million dollars takes up."

"Do you want to be my team member?" Ella asked Sadie.
"Of course," Sadie said. "We're BFFFL's!"
"What does that stand for?" Ella asked the thrill seeker.
"Best Female Friends for Life," Sadie defined the acronym.
Ezekiel heard their conversation. "Can I come with you two?"
"It's Ezekiel, right?" Ella asked the homeschooler.
"Yeah," Ezekiel nodded. "I already apologized for my sexism and I'll be more respectful towards girls from now on."
"You did make a mistake, but I'm ready to forgive and forget," Ella smiled.
"Yeah. You can be a part of our team, Zeke," Sadie said.
"Thanks for accepting me," Ezekiel showed his gratitude by shaking Sadie's hand, to which the girl blushed at.
"Ladies, it's your lucky day." Heather came their way. "I am gonna help you find this million dollars."
"No thanks, Heather," Sadie scowled. "We have enough people already."
"Excuse me? Ella?" Heather got offended.
"Sorry you have to be by yourself, Heather. I wish you luck though." Ella told the queen bee. Even when around those she dislikes, Ella can't bring herself to be mean to them.
"You're bringing homeschool with you, but not me?" Heather asked with shock.
"He's nicer and considerate than you are," Ella pointed out.
"One last thing. Someone drew a happy face on the back of your head." Ezekiel noticed the drawing before leaving with Sadie and Ella, the two girls snickering, much to the fury of Heather.
Confessional: Heather
Heather was holding up two mirrors in order to look at the smiley face. "I am so glad this whole thing is over. I haven't wanted to get away from a group of people this badly since my calculus teacher made me join the Mathletes for extra credit."
Confessional Ends
Mike and Sky were already partnered up. "Ready?" Mike asked her friend with determination.
"I was born ready!" Sky grinned.
Beth walked up to them timidly. "Hey guys. Is it okay if I be with you? If not, then that's okay."
"You don't have to feel nervous," Mike said. "We'll have you on board."
"I'm not mad at you for the tiki doll thing if you're worried about that," Sky said. "That was a long time ago."
"Thanks for that," Beth smiled. "I promise not to pick up anything that's weird."
The camera cut to Luna hopping over to Ron. They high-fived, hinting that they'll be working together as well and joining in on the action.
Meanwhile, Jo grabbed Brick and Shawn by their arms. "We're going to get that million dollars. We're already the strongest players in the game. None of these weaklings are going to stop us."
"As long as you don't betray us, I'll try and tolerate partnering up with you," Brick said.
"I want to work alone, but with the rules of the challenge, I guess I'll join forces with you two," Shawn admitted.
"Then it's settled," Brick declared.
Courtney was sitting down observing someone she can be on a team with until Dawn came into view. "I can see you want to get the million dollars so that someone special to you will feel proud."
"That's true," Courtney got out of her seat. "If I get that million dollars, I can redeem myself and make my parents forget about me being the first boot. You can come with me. Maybe your powers can help us find the briefcase."
"That's not how it works, but I'll be your partner in order to keep a close eye on you," Dawn sternly said.
"Can I also join your team?" Heather asked them.
"Back off! I know you're just going to turn on us the first chance you get," Courtney told off Heather.
Heather growled and passed by Harold, rejecting his offer with a "No!"
Confessional: Heather
"Okay, I know it looks like I'm desperate for a partner, but that's only because... okay, I'm desperate for a partner!" Heather swallowed her pride. "But Harold? That is even worse than the Mathletes. That's like, ugh, spending the afternoon with the physics club."
Confessional Ends
Harold still tried to be Heather's partner. "I've got awesome skills in the woods! I can track a mongoose over two kilometers!"
At this point, Heather decided to just cave in. "Fine. But don't talk to me!"
"Thank-" Harold tried to thank her, but got cut off.
"What did I just say?!" Heather shouted.
"Fine, gosh!" Harold gritted his teeth.
The scene flashed to everybody getting on the Boat of Losers as they traveled from Playa des Losers to Camp Wawanakwa.
Soon, they all arrived at the camp. Before anyone stepped out, Chris and Chef jumped onto the dock in order to remind everyone about the rules. "Everyone has their teams ready to go?" the latter double checked.
"Yes! Absolutely! Of course!" The eight teams voiced out while the two pets nodded.
"Then go out there and find that briefcase!" Chef commanded.
The theme song's chorus played as the nine groups walked through a single clearing at various times.
Ron and Luna went to the right with Luna on top of a flying Ron. Brick, Jo, and Shawn walked through the clearing from the right. Beth, Mike, and Sky ran from the left. Duncan, Eva, and Noah popped up from the front. Cody, Lightning, Owen, and Rodney ran from the left, with Owen noticeably behind. Ella, Ezekiel, and Sadie also came from the left, but stopped and turned around and exited the same direction. Harold and Heather simply walked to the left. Courtney and Dawn ran to the left side. And finally, Amy and Lindsay ran from the right. And the camera showed a long distance view of the island before fading to black.

TSI 27 (Part 2)
The episode returned to the shot of the island. "Okay, this is pathetic campers," Chris complained via loudspeaker. The camera focused on a loudspeaker as he continued, "It's been two hours and no one's even come close to finding the suitcase. So here's your first hint: It's just hangin' around."
The camera cut to Shawn, Jo, and Brick in the forest. "That's a nice way to help us," Shawn snarked.
"We've walked around this forest for two hours, and the case hasn't been tied to a tree branch," Jo said.
"Maybe it's not in the forest," Brick brought up.
"What are you saying?" Jo raised her eyebrow.
"Chris must've known we'd search in the forest," Brick said. "The case may be found in the least obvious of places."
"Sounds pretty reasonable to me," Shawn thought about it.
"Follow me. I know someplace we can look," Brick motioned his team to let him lead them.
The shot cut to Noah and his team. "How many square hectares is this island again?" Noah moaned. "It's hopeless."
"Just keep looking." Eva told him. "You wanna win or not?"
"Chris did say that the suitcase was hanging around," Duncan added. "I'll go up and see if I can find it." The delinquent started climbing a nearby tree.
Confessional: Noah
"I want to debunk his statement, but I prefer having my face be less punchable," Noah said.

Duncan got down from the tree with a grunt. "No dice," he said. "We have to find the briefcase someplace else."
"Hurry up Dawn!" Courtney called out as she passed by the scene.
Dawn was jogging at a slower pace. "I prefer to conserve my energy!"
Meanwhile, Luna and Ron were walking until they saw a bear sleeping in front of them. Ron flew out of the scene and came back with a red marker hoping to draw on the bear's face, but Luna threw the marker away, not wanting them to get potentially killed. Ron got the message and they passed by the bear without any problems.
Confessional: Luna
Luna simply facepalmed.

"So after I spent an hour on that roller coaster, I spent five minutes throwing up," Sadie said as the camera cut to her, Ella, and Ezekiel walking by a tree that had the case hanging from it. "It was definitely worth the thrill!"
"The Intimidator sounds like a joy ride, but I like to enjoy myself on the Mad Tea Party," Ella conversed. "Spinning rides are more my speed!"
Ezekiel noticed the case. "Isn't that the case?"
The girls looked up as well. "How magnificent! We finally found the one million dollars," Ella gleamed.
Sadie was looking doubtful. "Remember what I said earlier about the case probably being filled with bricks?"
"I do, but Chris had announced that the million dollars was inside a briefcase that was hanging around," Ezekiel said.
"Chris probably has a lot of suitcases around the island. This one may be there in order to scam us." Sadie explained.
"Chris does have a tendency to act like a gadfly." Ella explained.
"Exactly my point." Sadie said. "We are not going to get fooled that easily. Let's look somewhere else!"
As Ella and Sadie went to the left, Ezekiel followed suit. "What is a gadfly exactly?"
Confessional: Ezekiel
"I've definitely been wrong the entire time I've been at camp," Ezekiel started his confessional. "Girls are as strong, fast, and smart as boys are. Sadie is the first one that comes to mind." He immediately blushed. "She is kind of cute."

"Oh, I just saw this pretty dress online," Lindsay observed her phone while walking past the tree that had the case hanging from it. "Look!"
"I'm glad you found a dress that you like," Amy rolled her eyes, "but you can buy it later! Right now, we have to locate the briefcase!"
"Don't you want a blue version of the dress?" Lindsay showed the picture.
Amy marveled at the blue dress as they continued to ignore the case. "The color does match my volleyball jersey. Make sure to order two."
The camera cut to Chris and Chef in the red helicopter, the former watching the scene with a pair of binoculars. "This is ridiculous!" He complained in exasperation.
Meanwhile, Jo and her team were still walking around.
"And then there was this time I stayed awake for an entire week while binge watching Professor What?" Shawn told his team a story. "I would've gone for two if my dad hadn't told me to go to sleep."
"How do you have this much free time to do what you want?" Brick wondered.
"Like Ezekiel, I've been homeschooled my entire life," Shawn said. "My dad's been educating me so I wouldn't fall behind, and I get to watch movies at every given opportunity."
"No wonder you're a nutjob," Jo snarked.
"Maybe if you focus more on the real world, you'd be less out of touch with how humans work," Brick gave advice.
"I doubt it, but this search is taking forever," Shawn whined. "How about we split up for now?"
"I would disagree, but I don't want this to drag out until sunset," Brick complied. "Whoever finds the case should immediately return it to Chris."
"Fine, but the person who finds it gets to decide how the money will be split among us," Jo settled it. "Now scatter."
Confessional: Brick
"Jo may try to take 60% of the money, but I'm not gonna delve on that right now," Brick strictly promised.
Confessional Ends
Brick was searching until the trio of Sky, Mike, and Beth stopped in his path. "Felicitations to you, fellow players."
"Hi Brick," Mike waved to him. "How are you doing?"
"Great, but I still can't find the briefcase," Brick pondered. "Which areas have you searched?"
"We covered the whole western edge of the island and the beach area too," Beth blabbed.
"Seems I don't have to look in those places," Brick left the three. "Good luck looking!"
"Beth! Why'd you give our secret information away?" Sky snapped at Beth.
"Was I not supposed to do that?" Beth looked clueless.
"We can't let anyone know about where we're going or they'll beat us to the money," Mike reminded the wannabe.
"Oops. Sorry," Beth sheepishly apologized.
The scene flashed to Heather and Harold together. Harold was whistling the theme to Star Wars, which grinded Heather's gears.
"Shut. It." Heather snapped.
"Okay, gosh!" Harold angrily stopped.
The four guys stopped at the briefcase hanging by the tree. "There it is!" Rodney called when the camera cut to them by the case. "I see it!"
"Where?" Cody asked, looking around.
"Right there, in the tree!" Rodney pointed to the case.
"Finally!" Chris yelled from the helicopter.
"I'll go get it!" Lightning cheered as he climbed the tree.
The case later fell into Owen's hands and Lightning jumped back down from the tree.
"Yes!" Rodney boomed.
"We're rich!" Cody cheered.
"We did it!" Owen exclaimed.
The camera cut to a nearby bush, where Harold and Heather were waiting. "Did you hear what I just heard?" Heather started.
"Darn it. We lost!" Harold grumbled.
"This is not over yet," Heather shushed him before dragging him down. "Are you up for a little burglary action?"
"Definitely," Harold agreed. "This one time, at computer camp-" he got cut off by Heather covering his mouth before they crawled to the left.
"We found the million! We found the million!" The guys partied.
Owen kissed the case four times. "Dock of Shame, here we come!" He saw everyone not in agreement. "What?"
"Why should you carry it?" Rodney got suspicious.
"What's the big sha-deal?" Lightning wondered.
"Chris did say that the first person on the dock with the case wins." Cody brought up.
"I don't want to make assumptions, but what if you take off with the money?" Rodney asked. "You would want to spend our money on a party since you got kicked off second."
"Okay, then you carry it," Owen offered.
"What if he ditches us, and makes a run for it?"
"Right now, we're acting like kids, not men!" Lightning ceased the arguing. "We need to find a way for us to keep an eye on each other."
"I know!" Cody came up with an idea.
The scene flashed ahead to show Cody tying a rope around them in the front. "There! That should hold. Now there's no breaking up this team."
"Aw yeah!" Lightning cheered in-between Rodney in front and Owen in the back of him.
Meanwhile, Luna and Ron were currently taking a break. They were eating blueberries, and when it came to the last one, a bear's arm came out of the bushes and snatched it away, disappointing the two animal buddies.
Confessional: Ron
Ron drew a mustache with the red marker.

"All right," Lightning grabbed the case. "Let's boogie."
They struggled to walk tied together, but managed to pull through until Owen farted.
"Aw man!" Rodney cringed as he, Cody, and Lightning complained about the fart.
Heather and Harold, who were spying on them, held their noses as well.
"Uh, guys? I kinda have to go," Owen said.
"Just turn around and pee in a bush," Rodney suggested.
"No. Not number one." Owen farted again. "Number poo."
"Go to the woods and keep some distance between us." Rodney directed.
"So we have to wait now?" Lightning complained. "Great!"
Owen went to the left, accidentally pulling his team with him.
"You've got to untie yourself first!" Rodney pointed out.
"I can't!" Owen cried out.
"Where'd you learn these knots?" Rodney asked Cody.
"Actually, it was a special after school–" Cody tried to say.
Rodney turned his attention back to Owen. "And why didn't you go before we tied ourselves together?"
"Well, I didn't have to go then!" Owen said before farting again, making a squirrel run away. "Aw, come on, guys. This is serious!"
"You can go now, but next time, give us a warning," Rodney lectured the funniest guy around.
Owen backed the group towards a bush and as he started to do his business, Harold snagged the briefcase.
"Where did you learn that from?" Heather asked.
"I learned it from a mail order ninja catalog from ," Harold answered.
"Let's move!" Heather carried the case while they went to the left.
Owen finally finished going number two. "All done!"
"Let's move!" Rodney took charge.
"The case! It's gone!" Cody noticed the case being gone.
Beth, Sky, and Mike were running. "Okay, I think we should double back and head that way." Sky told her team while pointing to the left.
"We've covered that entire area. I say we keep going." Mike disagreed.
The camera cut to the top of the diving cliff. Heather watched as Harold put the finishing touches on a makeshift hang glider.
"Where did you learn to make a hang-glider out of branches and an old tent?" Heather wondered.
"I told you I had skills," Harold prided himself. "You need me."
"I needed you. This is where we split up!" Heather used the case to whack Harold in his crotch.
Harold yelped and fell on the floor. "Hey! What are you doing?!"
"You didn't really think I was gonna split the money with you, did you?" Heather taunted while getting on a hang glider.
"Kinda," Harold admitted.
Heather was starting to run. "If you learn one lesson from this, it's who to-" she ran off the cliff... only for the glider to completely fall apart and send Heather plummeting down.
"Dang. That wasn't my best work," Harold watched her fall.

The camera cut to a beaver dam on a creek. Heather fell in the dam, then the case fell into the water and drifted away.
"No! No! That was a million dollars, you stupid beavers!" Heather insulted two beavers inside, causing them to attack her with their tails and sticks.
The camera focused on the case in the water before cutting to the loudspeaker.
"Attention campers," Chris's voice announced. "The case is wet. Repeat: the case is wet."
Ella heard the announcement. "The case is wet. That must mean it's in the water!" The camera cut to the edge of the lake, and Ella and her friends wading into the water. "We should be able to find it first."
"Wicked strategizing, Ella!" Ezekiel complimented.
"So if we win, what would you guys do with your third of the money?" Sadie asked.
"Will that be enough to buy a castle?" Ella perked up.
"Yeah, but that'll take a long time to build," Ezekiel said.
"Regardless, I'll be giving me and my family a better home," Ella smiled.
"Hey, isn't that the case?!" Ezekiel saw the case in the water.
"That's it!" Ella cheered.
"We found it!" Ezekiel smiled.
"Let's not waste anymore time. We have to go back!" Sadie declared before an alligator zoomed in and swallowed the case whole. "Hey! The alligator stole our money!"
"This is a travesty!" Ella yelped.
"What are alligators doing in Muskoka anyway?" Ezekiel asked while the footage switched to a monitor and the camera zoomed out to show Chris and Chef eating popcorn and watching the scene unfold.
"Alligators your idea?" the host asked. Chef nodded yes. "Good one."
The camera went to the other side of the lake, where Dawn and Courtney watched the alligator come to them.
"Hello, reptilian creature," Dawn petted the alligator before the alligator spit the case out and left. "I give you my gratitude."
"Your skills can come in handy, especially in a situation like this," Courtney complimented as they walked away from the docks.
"Animals are my friends," Dawn socialized. "They know how much I want to help Mother Earth and how I struggle to do so."
Suddenly, a fishing hook snagged the handle and snatched it out of Dawn's hands.
The camera cut to the other side of the lake, where Eva and Noah were watching Duncan as he reeled in the case with a fishing pole.
"If I was doing this, that case would be back to us in a second," Eva criticized Duncan's strength.
"Can it, sister!" Duncan snapped. "I'm reeling as fast as I can, and it is my fishing pole!" He finally got the case.
"Nice one," Noah smirked at Duncan's tactic. "We should get going before they take the money from us."
Courtney saw the trio leave. "Hey! Get back here! No one is stealing the money that I stole!"
"I was the one who brought the money to us," Dawn pointed out.
"After them!" Courtney ran, prompting Dawn to follow suit.
Meanwhile, Brick went into the cave to search for the money. "Hopefully, Sasquatchanakwa isn't here. He wouldn't want me to show my face here after I slapped him."
He got further in the cave, and when he did, Sasquatchanakwa was there, and so were Ron and Luna. They were having a conversation with each other while playing cards, and Sasquatchanakwa laughed at a joke.
"Maybe they won't notice me if I sneak by really silent," Brick whispered as he tiptoed around. He was doing well until he stepped on a stick, alerting the animals. "Oh no," Brick moaned as Sasquatchanakwa started growling and marching towards his direction.
That was until Brick took off his boot and held it in front of the sasquatch, causing him to back away. "What's the matter? Can't take the smell of war?"
Sasquatchanakwa hid behind a rock in order not to smell the stinky boot, gagging as he did so.
"I don't want any trouble," Brick confirmed. "Is the case here or not?"
Luna and Ron shook their heads to signal a "No."
"That answers my question," Brick said. "Were you two playing cards with Sasquatchanakwa?"
They nodded to signal a "No" while Sasquatchanakwa came to sit down.
"You're simply taking a break from finding the million dollars?" Brick asked them.
Sasquatchanakwa grunted and motioned Brick to come join them.
"You want me to join?" Brick wondered. "Okay, I will, but do you forgive me for the slap incident?" He got a thumbs up in response. "Good to know. After five games, we go back to finding the million."
Heather still had her head wedged inside the dam. "Get off me, you rabies-carrying, glorified rat!" A beaver outside started to smack her butt. "Stop that!"
Mike's team entered the shot. "He said the case was wet. I say we continue along the water line." Mike said.
"Got it," Sky followed before they saw Heather. "Hey. Isn't that Heather?"
"Looks like it." Beth confirmed while watching Heather getting hurt. "That's gotta hurt."
"Help! Guys, get me out of here!" Heather begged.
"Should we help her?" Mike asked seriously, causing all of them to laugh before leaving Heather alone.
"You guys are so dead when I get outta here!" Heather cried out from her attack.
The scene skipped ahead to Eva's team running from Courtney and Dawn. They quickly ducked behind a bush, then doubled back when the duo ran past them.
The camera focused on Courtney as she kept running... face first into a tree.
The shot cut to Chris and Chef at the monitors again. "Wow, they look really stressed out," the host said. "I should just cancel the challenge… if I wanted to." He let out a short chuckle.
"You're as fast as a turtle," Eva mocked Noah since he was farther behind her and Duncan.
"Forgot my 'roids back at the gym," Noah sarcastically shot back.
"Make fun of each other later!" Duncan stopped them while holding the money. "Right now, we have to win this challenge."
Shawn was watching them from the top of a tree. "They have the briefcase now, but not for long!"
He front flipped into the bushes, pulled out a smoke bomb, and threw it at them, causing the bomb to spew out smoke and blind their vision.
"Sorry, guys, but I have a bunker to buy!" Shawn snagged the money and took off.
Confessional: Shawn
"My bunker will be able to protect me from any kind of supernatural beings," Shawn drank a cup of coffee. "If I'm lucky, I'll be able to gather food and TV so I won't look worn out."
Confessional Ends
"What happened? Where's the case?!" Duncan looked around after the smoke dispersed.
"Uh, you had it taken by a conspiracy nut!" Noah said.
"This is seriously pathetic!" Eva growled.
Confessional: Eva
"On the plus side, at least a guy didn't talk me into giving away one million dollars," Eva confessed. "I would've never been able to show my face at the gym again."
Confessional Ends
"Attention, campers! The case is now somewhere smelly and headed towards camp." Chris notified everyone through the loudspeaker.
"There is no way I'm letting a stash of dough out of my grasp," Duncan started running. "Come on!"
"Yeah. We'll crush their skulls!" Eva violently declared.
"A little too far," Noah called her out.
"Sorry," Eva apologized.
Lindsay and Amy were at the top of the cliff. "So, somewhere smelly? Maybe it's in a sock pile," Amy thought.
"That would be so gross," Lindsay shuddered.
"We're going to have to shower after this," Amy jumped off the cliff and into the water.
"I'm coming, Amy!" Lindsay jumped off as well.
The camera cut back to Dawn and Courtney sitting on top of a tree. "There must be something we can do to get the case," Dawn said.
A boom mic hit Courtney on the head and she looked up. "Come on! Get down here, you! Dawn, come along!" They started climbing up to a hot air balloon.
"Uh, Chris?" the intern in the basket said into a walkie talkie. "Uh, we have a situation here."
"Bail! Bail!" Chris's voice said over the radio. "Abort! Abort!" The intern jumped out of the basket as the girls climbed into it.
"I'm not sure about this," Dawn nervously said.
"We'll talk about it later," Courtney responded as the balloon flew off screen.
Heather stomped around with bruises on her face.
"Encountered some beavers?" Harold noted as he was paddling on a canoe. "Yeah, they can get pretty territorial. Especially-"
"You know what?" Heather locked eyes with the dweeb. "So far today, I've been thrown off a cliff. By you! Attacked by beavers, left to die, and I lost one million dollars, which I'm kind of hoping to get back. So I really don't have time for your Haroldness right now, okay?"
"You know, you don't always have to be so mean," Harold got upset. "Maybe if you were nicer, someone here might actually like you."
"That would work for people if they weren't really fat and pimply," Heather growled.
"Just get onto the canoe," Harold sighed. "It's either that or a five kilometer walk to camp. And those beavers are probably still looking for you."
"Fine, but don't think this makes us friends," Heather said before sitting next to Harold.
The camera cut to Shawn crossing paths with Owen's team. "I think that you have something that belongs to us," Owen started.
"Come and get it," Shawn dared them until a chicken wing hit his face. "Is that the best you got?"
"No!" Owen revealed himself as the one who threw the wing.
"How did you manage to get a chicken wing, big boy?" Lightning whispered.
"I've got an extra bunch from the party in my pockets," Owen pulled one out of his pocket, disgusting Lightning. "Want one?"
"Less talking and more action!" Rodney warned them and faced Shawn. "We're taking the case back, and you're not going to beat us one to four."
"Now give us the case or get struck by Lightning!" Lightning threatened.
"I need the money more than you guys do," Shawn disregarded them.
"What do we do now?" Lightning asked his group.
Cody got an idea. "Look! It's a UFO!" The conspiracy nut turned around, and the guys stole the case from him, trampling him in the process and leaving him injured. "Pleasure doing business with you!"
The scene skipped ahead to them on top of the diving cliff. "What now?" Rodney asked.
A bear came snarling at them, causing them to don fearful looks, with the exception of Owen. "Oh! I'll bet it's Sadie in there. Sadie. Can you hear me?!"
The bear roared, causing Owen to realize that the bear is real. "Oh crap. It's not Sadie." They all screamed, and Owen turned around to run, dragging the boys off the cliff.
Cody managed to hold him and the guys to the edge. "HELP!!!"
(Commercial break)
Cody and his team were screaming and trying not to fall off the cliff.
"Pull us up dude!" Lightning begged Cody.
Cody did as he was told, but the edge broke and caused all four to plummet to their doom… until they were saved by a hot air balloon.
"David and Goliath, my ankle can't hold on much longer!" Owen yelped as his foot was tied to the boom mic's pole while the other three held on.
"Courtney! Dawn! Save us! Pull us up!" Rodney asked for help.
"Will do!" Dawn tried to pull the pole, but it didn't budge.
"The pole is stuck! We can't pull you guys up!" Courtney said.
"We're going to die!" Cody shouted.
"Don't worry. I can save us!" Owen started to climb the pole, struggling due to the weight of three guys on him.
They managed to hold onto the corner of the hot air balloon safe and sound. "Okay, guys. We're safe for now. And we still have the case!" Rodney said.
The hot air balloon went past the trees, unintentionally tying the pole onto a bear's leg and bringing them along.
Owen was the first to witness this. "Bear!" he screamed, causing everyone on the balloon to fear for their lives as the bear started to climb on the pole.
Sky, Beth, and Mike noticed a baby moose in front of them struggling to reach a branch. "Poor moose. They can't reach the branch," Beth felt bad.
Mike then gasped and turned into Svetlana. "That moose can't touch za branch, but that can be made possible by me!"
She jumped on top of the branch, allowing it to get on the moose's level and the moose to be happy. "Now you can eat zee leaves!"
Svetlana soon lost her grip and crashed onto the moose. In the process, she turned back into Mike and he saw a much larger moose snorting with rage. "This totally isn't what it looks like!"
It returned to the normal side view to show Mike and his friends being chased by the moose.
"The case is almost at the campgrounds," Chris warned over the loudspeaker. "Get your butts in gear people, it's a million big ones!"
The camera cut to Amy and Lindsay running through the woods."There has to be a faster way to get there!" Amy panted.
Chef then showed up on his ATV. "Hey! Any of you punks seen a hot air balloon go by?" the cook asked. "Dawn and Courtney took it from one of our cameramen."
"They have a hot air balloon?" Lindsay asked in disbelief.
"They also got the case too. On their way to the finish line," Chef explained. "If I had to bet on anyone, I'd put my-" He was interrupted and knocked out by a blow to the head, courtesy of Amy.
Lindsay looked at the volleyball queen in disbelief. "What's the hold up? We have a case to find," Amy declared. Lindsay got on the ATV and the two drove off.
Confessional: Amy
"Stealing isn't something I'd normally do, but desperate times call for drastic measures," Amy made clear to the audience.
Confessional Ends
The scene went to Brick strolling alongside the two pets. "I can't believe I lost to you two, and I only won one game." The animal friends laughed. "I know. Military man isn't the best at cards. Don't go rubbing it in."
Beth's team got their attention by screaming "RUUUUUUUN!" as they passed.
"From what?" Brick asked. He, Luna, and Ron spotted the moose charging towards them and they decided to make a run for it.
The camera flashed to the basket of the hot air balloon and the four boys with the two girls inside.
"That was a close call," Owen breathed a sigh of relief as Dawn untied the rope tying the boys together.
"Thanks for not letting us die," Cody said.
"I wanted the full million, but since you four almost died, I'm considering a 1/6 split between all of us," Courtney bargained. "Deal?"
"We'd be killed if it wasn't for you two, so we'll share the money," Lightning confirmed.
Harold and Heather arrived back on land. "Is that a hot air balloon?" Harold observed the sky.
"They've got the case! And a... bear. Come on!" Heather commanded as they got off the canoe.
The shot cut to the cabins, where Lindsay and Amy had just arrived on the ATV, though it was starting to go faster than anticipated. "I can't stop this ATV, Lindsay!" Amy yelled.
"What do we do, Amy?" Lindsay started screaming when the ATV sped off towards Harold and Heather.
The H-Bombs saw the vehicle and dashed the other way as the vehicle chased them all the way down the dock and into the water.
The four teens surfaced in the lake. "That was crazy!" Heather sputtered.
"That was awesome!" Harold admitted.
"Attention campers!" Chris announced. "The case is still in play! Don't give up now!"
The scene cut to Duncan, Noah, and Eva in the boathouse.
"So here's the plan," Duncan started. "Noah, you look out for anyone who has the case. Eva, you launch that bucket of fish onto the person's head. As for me, I'll grab the case and ensure victory for us."
"As long as you don't backstab us, I'm cool with the game plan," Noah said.
"Let's go now before it's too late," Eva reminded her partners.
The shot panned to them hiding behind the washrooms until Mike, Sky, Beth, Brick, Ron, and Luna ran past them, the moose still chasing them. "Not right now! Let's do it when the time is right," Eva ordered the boys to hide.
"Guys! The pool ladder! Run!" Sky shouted as the camera focused on them running before reaching the ladder, allowing the moose to run into another direction.
"That was easier than I thought," Beth commented in bewilderment.
"That moose might come back for us soon!" Brick warned them. "We have to keep climbing."
Shawn arrived at the scene. "What are you guys doing up there?!"
The six that got chased pointed to the moose. Shawn looked behind him, screamed, and ran away while the moose huffed and gave chase.
The camera followed them as they ran into the main lodge. The moose soon went from the chaser to the chased as Shawn scared it with a trophy moose head.
"This should keep you away!" Shawn shouted at the moose as they departed.
Mike saw the hot air balloon coming. "Uh, incoming!"
"We're going to hit!" Rodney screamed.
"We have to jump for it!" Lightning told the passengers in the balloon.
"But we may die!" Dawn refused.
"He's right! It's the only way!" Rodney sided with the athletic overachiever. "On the count of three! One! Two! Three!"
With the exception of Courtney, who held onto the money, Dawn and the boys got off the balloon and landed on the high dive with the other six.
Courtney looked at her money. "Now my family will have to forget about my failure." She felt the bear tapping her, causing her to look back.
Seeing the danger she was in, Courtney finally left the bear alone and got in-between those that got chased by the moose and those that was recently riding with her, leading to a big fight over who should get the prize.
"I am not letting it get away," a wet Amy climbed the ladder and tried to grab the briefcase, only for it to slip and land in front of the washroom as Ezekiel's team came out.
"Bathroom break is over. Let's go back to… finding the case!" Sadie saw it on the ground.
"Who would even leave it here?" Ella picked the case up.
"I don't know, but it's ours now," Ezekiel shrugged the question off.
They were cut off by the sound of a plane flying overhead. The door opened to show Jo with a helmet on her head and a parachute on her back.
"Now how the heck did she get the keys to the plane?" Chris saw the plane.
"Don't care and don't know," Chef rolled his eyes as he ate a burger.
Confessional: Jo
"I stole the keys from Samuel L. Jackson's pocket when he wasn't looking," Jo explained. "I figured while everyone ran amuck looking for the money, I'll watch above and plan when to make my move and snatch that prize. I had to promise the pilot a hundred dollars of my cut if I win, but that won't damage my salary at all."
Confessional Ends
Jo parachuted off the plane and landed in front of the washroom as her parachute covered Sadie, Ezekiel, and Ella. "Sweet victory! Yeah!" She boomed while holding the million dollars.
Noah saw this from behind a rock and spoke to his walkie talkie. "Enact the plan now!"
Eva threw the bucket of fish onto Jo's head, causing the latter not to see anything. "Hey! How dare you! My face hasn't fully healed!"
"That's how I roll!" Duncan took the money back and ran to the dock. "I'm a millionaire, well, partly, but that's good enough!" He then tripped, allowing the briefcase to bounce towards the dock.
Shawn, who finished his encounter with the moose, saw the case and decided to go after it, with Noah following suit a few seconds later.
The campers on the diving board gasped in terror when the structure broke and sent them falling. Ron, Luna, Owen, and Cody fell into the pool while the others on the diving board slid along the ground after getting a speed boost from a piece of airplane wing leaning against the pool.
The campers on the diving board sped past Jo trying to get the bucket off her head, but her parachute was caught in the board's path and she was dragged along with them.
It soon ended as they reached the end of the dock, knocking Noah, Duncan, and Shawn into the water, including Lindsay, Heather and Harold, who were trying to get up on the dock.
The crash managed to startle Chris and Chef, who were watching from above in a helicopter.
Shawn surfaced first and looked at the case, which got eaten by a shark. The camera panned to show a seagull laughing at the scene, and it was eaten too.
"Great!" Shawn spat. "Now what?!"
The sound of footsteps on the dock got her attention, and the camera panned over to show the helicopter landing on the dock and Chris hopping out. Chef flew the helicopter out of sight, while Chris stepped towards the sixteen floating campers – Mike, Beth, Brick, Courtney, Shawn, Jo, Noah, Dawn, Harold, Sky, Duncan, Amy, Rodney, Heather, Lightning, and Lindsay.
"Soooo," Chris told them, "you lost the case! Way to go. But this is beneficial for me. I already planned a new season, and I just found my cast. All of you that are in the water… prepare to compete in season two!"
Confessional: Dawn
"We're doing a second season?" Dawn asked.
Confessional: Heather
"Uh-uh. No way. I am not coming back here," Heather refused.
Confessional: Lindsay
"Season two? Season two?" Lindsay gushed. "I'm gonna be so much more famous than I thought! I hope I have a chance to get my roots done first."
Confessionals End
"Oh, forget this," Duncan told the host. "I didn't agree to season two."
"Actually," Chris corrected. "You did. It's called the fine print. Read it, live it, love it!"
"I should really start to read closely when it comes to small text," Rodney whispered to himself.
"As for the rest of you," Chris said as Sadie, Ron, Owen, Luna, Ezekiel, Eva, Ella, and Cody assembled on the dock. "Your treasure hunt ends here, along with all your hopes of ever winning any money off of being on this show." The camera showed the disappointed look on Owen's face, and the apathetic looks on Ron and Luna's faces since they were never contestants. "The good news, though? You'll be watching all the action on season two from the sidelines!"
"Aww, I wanted to be in the next season," Owen sighed.
"Tut tut tut tut," Chris said. "Fine print."
Confessional: Ezekiel
"Hopefully, me not being on season two can help the others forget about what I said more," Ezekiel hoped with relief.
Confessional: Harold
"Another season? Sweet! Another chance to showcase my mad skills! Hi-yah!" Harold tried to perform a karate move, but hit his elbow on the wall and felt pain. "Funny bone! That is funny," he laughed a bit before groaning in pain.
Confessional: Sadie
"There's always next time," Sadie confided happily, "and besides, I can watch the season with Ella and Ezekiel. Ella's my BFF, and Ezekiel's a sweetheart." She realized what she said as her face turned red. "I do find him cute regardless of what you think of him."
Confessionals End
"I get a second chance to redeem myself?" Courtney got excited. "Perfect!"
"This is so exciting!" Amy talked to the dumb princess. "Lindsay, if you win and you buy France, make sure to invite me over sometime."
"For sure!" Lindsay promised.
"In exactly two weeks," Chris explained, "you will all report to a brand new location for a whole new challenge. And, the last one standing will receive one, million, dollars." He addressed the camera directly and said, "So don't forget to tune in, to Total! Drama!" he held up a film slate and snapped it as he finished, "Action!"
Author's Note: And there we go. We have our cast for season two. Hopefully this time Action will be finished so I can get to World Tour. I personally cannot wait to do that one. Thank you to xx15 for helping me with this and thank you to all who reviewed.
