Episode 02: Alien Ressur-eggtion
"Last time on Total Drama Action!" The recap started with a long distance shot of the back of the film lot. A pair of hands clapped a film slate. "Fifteen teenagers," a clip of Chris arriving at the film lot, "one engaging host," one of the golden Chris statues was shown, "a dilapidated film lot," a clip of the warehouses, "and a whole lotta coin! Kaching!" The film strip with the chest of gold from the last recap was shown.
"Oh! And did I mention," the teens were shown running through a beach lot, "a remote controlled monster?" Chris chuckled as a clip of Chef hitting himself on the head was shown. "I love this show."
"Some," DJ and Sammy ran from the monster, "fared better than others. Mike outlasted everybody, then beat the crap outta Chef," Svetlana was shown flipping around the monster. "And then Sugar chowed down of fake food props," the fake spread was shown, "and scored the reward," the pageant queen pulled a key out of her pocket, "first pick of the trailers!" The cast was shown looking at the two trailers.
"Shockingly," Chris said with a heavy dose of sarcasm, "Sugar picked the one that was still intact. Then, her celebration was crushed," The monster was shown smashing the other trailer, "as were her new digs," the girls were shown choosing their bunkmates.
The recap ended and Chris was shown in front of the trailers. "Who will be one step closer to the million bucks? Find out now on another thrilling episode of: Total!" The camera panned out. "Drama!" It panned out a little more. "Action!" The camera panned out to the long distance shot at the beginning.

[A stage light pops up in front of some fake buildings and turns on; a camera with a rat on top of it comes out of a manhole; another camera comes out of the hollow of a tree, along with some garbage and a very confused raccoon. A pair of hands claps a film slate in front of the camera, and the camera flies through the film lot; Chris drives a golf cart with Chef in the passenger side in the camera's path. The host grins and waves and the cook crosses his arms and scowls as the lyrics start]
Dear Mom and Dad I'm doing fine
[The camera passes through a tree and files down a road between the studio warehouses, dodging a farm backdrop and a sunset backdrop before flying through a costume rack]
You guys are on my mind
[The camera flies up the fake mountain and peaks over the edge to see a pool of water, then jumps in]
You asked me what I wanted to be
[As the camera lands in the pool, bubbles fill the screen and then dissipate to show Sugar in her bikini with a large shark behind her. The pageant queen farts as the shark opens its mouth, then it chokes]
And I think the answer is plain to see
[The camera pans up to show Harold on a surfboard hooked up to some rigging. He tries to dodge seagulls that are shooting past him like bullets, only to take one to the face and be knocked in the water.]
I wanna be... famous
[The camera quick pans to the left, showing Duncan manning a what can only be described as a seagull cannon with a sadistic grin on his face. The camera pans back to show Sky looking at the punk with contempt as he fires the rest of the gulls. It flies between them, then pauses in front of a large door as Sasquatchanawkwa runs across it in a pink dress and boa The door opens and the camera flies into a bright light.]
I wanna live close to the sun
[The light fades into a shot of the beach set where Leshawna sits on a pool chair. She is flanked with sharks in their own chairs The camera zooms in on Leshawna as she gives a huge smile.]
Well pack your bags 'cause I've already won
[The camera pans to the right and ending up on Noah in the confessional reading a book with a smug expression pn his face and his legs propped up on the table. He leans back and goes too far as he falls backwards.]
Everything to prove, nothing in my way
I'll get there one day
[The camera quick pans to the right again to show Heather and a bald and camo cap wearing Alejandro on rock pillars against a dark backdrop. The two have dueling sticks, Heather's is blue and Alejandro's is orange. Alejandro hits Heather a few times and she responds with a jab to his face, his cap falls off and the camera quick pans down to show the hat falling perfectly on DJ's head.]
'Cause I wanna be... famous
[The camera zooms out a bit to show DJ stirring a metal pot with a smile on his face. He pulls out a small orange bottle and sprinkles something in the pot, takes out a spoon and offers it to someone off-screen; the camera zooms out more to show he was offering it to Sammy, who giggles and kisses him on the cheek. The camera pans out to show Amy watching the scene on one of two monitors in another room with a look of disgust on her face. She angrily presses a button and is surprised when an explosion rocks the other screen.]
(Na nananana nanananana nananananana)
[The camera cuts to the explosion as it fades away revealing a slightly singed Shawn nervously looking around... only to scream and run away to the right past a zombie in familiar clothing. The zombie reveals itself to be Kitsune, who giggles to herself as he runs past. The camera follows him as he runs past the Lame-o-sine then stops at the vehicle.]
I wanna be! I wanna be! I wanna be famous (Na nananana nanananana nananananana)
I wanna be! I wanna be! I wanna be famous (Na nananana nanananana nananananana)
[The camera zooms in on the limousine's window, which rolls down to show a smiling Mike and Zoey. The window behind them rolls down to show Victor smiling at the couple. He opens the door with an formal bow. The camera flies past a series of flashes as if it were going down the red carpet and stops at Chris in a blue tux on the amphitheatre. The host grins and opens an envelope, then looks over at a scowling dress-wearing Chef as he holds a tray of Guilded Chris's. Chris purses his lips and gives a look to the camera. The camera zooms out to show the scene was being watched on a monitor, then pans down to Gwen and Trent, the latter strumming the last few notes of the theme on his guitar.
The camera zooms out to show the non competitors on the center couch of what looked to be the set of a talk show, flanked by two double tiered couches. On the top left: Noah, Sammy, DJ, and Tyler. On the bottom left: Zoey, Mike, Leshawna, Harold, Duncan, and Kitsune. On the top right: Staci, Malcolm, Victor, Sky, and Alejandro. And on the bottom right: Scarlett, Sugar, Shawn, Amy and Heather. The feed on the monitor fizzles out and changes to the Total Drama Action logo]

The episode begins with a shot of the craft services tent, then flashed to the inside. Chef stood behind a counter and served Heather some eggs and toast. She left with her food and DJ and Harold showed up to get their rations. The camera panned left to show Mike, Zoey, Duncan, Victor, and Sky. The comedian and indie chick were gazing into each others eyes.
"Hey lovebirds," Duncan called. "Don't hold up the line!" The two were startled out of their gazes and sent apologetic smiles to the delinquent, who just rolled his eyes and scoffed.
"More eggs and toast for me," DJ said as the camera cut back to him. "Keep'em comin' Chef!" The cook growled and the brickhouse left with a confused look.
"Forgot how hungry I go last year eating on Chris's wrecked schedule," Duncan commented as he stepped up to get his food.
"At least we may always count of Chef to deliver his," Victor started but then paused for a moment, "unique food?"
Chef scowled at the gentleman. "Thank you, Victor," he said as he dumped the boy's food on the floor. The camera followed him as he walked over to Duncan, who could barely contain his laughter.
"Victor," Sky said. "I'll share my breakfast with you," she handed her tray to him with a smile.
"Thank you Sky," Victor said returning the smile. "But I would not feel right taking your food," he took on a blank face, "in fact, should you not be reluctant to help me? We are competing against each other."
"Yeah," the athlete agreed. "But I needed to talk to you about something," she said nervously.
"Great," Duncan groaned. "More lovebirds." Victor and Sky started sputtering. And Kitsune walked up behind Duncan unbeknownst to him.
"I know," she said, causing her boyfriend to jump. "Don't you just hate couples?"
"Foxy!" He yelled in surprise. "I was just-"
"Give the kids a break sweetie," she told him, enjoying the snickers that got from Sky. "And save me a seat." She kissed him on the cheek and he blushed and groaned.
XXX
"For a guy that likes making fun of other people," Kitsune told the confessional, "he makes it really easy to mess with him."
XXX
After the confessional, Sugar was shown walking up to Chef. "I'll take some grub!" She said jovially.
"Here ya go," the cook said as he handed her a bowl of something purple. "Bowl of prunes."
"What do I need those for?" Sugar asked in genuine confusion. Chef responded with a similar expression.
XXX
"Seriously," Sugar continued. "Why would I need those? That what you give to people who are constable-ated. Unless it has somethin' to do with all that fake food I ate the other day. But I ain't had no trouble with that."
XXX
The static ended on a sweeping shot of the two tables in the tent. The first one had Victor, Duncan, Noah, Sky, Kitsune, Amy, and Sugar eating at it and the second one had Sammy, Leshawna, Shawn, Heather, Harold, Mike, Zoey, and DJ.
"Welcome to day two," Chris said as he entered the tent wearing a director's beret and ascot, "of Total Drama Action!" He clapped a film slate.
"Are you gonna do that every time?" Duncan asked with annoyance.
"Yes," the host answered. "Yes I will."
"All right then."
"Today's movie genre," the host explained. "Aliens!" The camera showed the intrigued looks on Victor, Duncan, and Noah's faces. "Our unpaid interns have been hard at work figuring out what makes an alien movie successful. Chef?"
The camera cut to the cook who was mixing something in a pot as he explained, "Ya got three basic rules. Aliens wanna come take over the world and start making lotsa baby aliens. People fight back, then the military's called in. Yo Chris! Where's my paycheck at?"
The host balked for a moment. "It's in the mail," he said unconvincingly. Chef's glare intensified. "Today's challenge?" Chris continued as he held up a map that had two numbered points and a red X, "Find an alien egg and return to home base before Mama alien finds you. The two fastest get to pick the teams this season."
"Sorry losers," Duncan gloated as the camera cut to him, "but no one knows alien movies the way I do! The more obscure, the better."
"Really?" Kitsune asked with a smirk. "Is 'Alien Chunks' obscure enough?"
"Is it obscure enough?" Duncan asked. "That's my favorite alien movie of all time!"
"Eh, I'm more of an 'Adventures of Commander Sheppard' kind of girl myself. Except for the third one."
"Never pegged you for a Reaper Wars fan," he told her.
"There's a lot you don't know about me," she said with a wink.
XXX
"And it's about time he learns," she continued with decisiveness. "There are some things he needs to know before I fall too hard." She slumped over. "She says as if she hasn't already."
XXX
"I dislike the modern Alien movies," Victor added to the conversation. "I prefer the older ones. The effects may not be that great, but they truly were visionary."
"I feel the same way," Zoey said from across the room.
"Hey Chris!" DJ called out. "You got some kinda laser shootin' monster playin' Mama alien?"
"Not quite," Chris said with a smile. The camera showed Chef in a green alien costume. "You call that slime?" Chris asked in mild irritation. "Make-up! More slime over here!"
The camera cut to Chef as slime was poured over him. It zoomed in on him as he said, "I hate my life."
"Here are your GPS's," the host said tossing each cast mate a device, "complete with maps of the film lot. Find the alien eggs, but be careful. Because today, you're on Chef's menu." Chef was shown giving a disturbing chuckle.
\
The camera flashed to the set for the challenge. It was a series of walkways and ramps straight out of a stereotypical science-fiction movie, all in varying shades of dull gray. The camera zoomed in and flashed again, this time to the screen of the GPS showing blinking red dots reminiscent of a radar before flashing again to Kitsune's determined face. The camera jumped to show the wary looks of Harold, then Leshawna, then an apathetic Noah.
"Follow me guys," the goofball said. "If my birth mother is to be believed, then I'm actually one-sixteenth alien and can sense them. And if she's not, then I know a lot about these kinds of movies."
"Birth mother?" Harold asked. "You're adopted?"
"Nope," the fox lover answered. "But it's a long story I don't really wanna talk about with you." As the two walked off screen she added, "No offense."
Leshawna stopped at a door and shivered. "Do y'all feel that?" She asked her companions. "It's like there's somethin' in there, cold as ice, with no soul."
The camera pulled back to show Chris in a room full of monitors watching the scene on said screens. "Thanks," he said and laughed. "Now take this!" He pressed a button on the keyboard and the camera cut back to the four; and the steam jet that shot in front of Harold, causing him to jump into Leshawna's arms. He smiled at her sheepishly and she shook her head with an amused smile.
XXX
"What?" Leshawna asked the confessional. "It may've been cowardly, but I'm not about to let an excuse to hold him slip through my fingers. I need my fix of those little man biceps."
XXX
"I guess a part of me still doesn't believe that Leshawna's actually into me," Harold confessed with a shrug. "But I'll get over it."
XXX
The static cut to the device in Kitsune's hand. The camera then panned back showing the four previously seen cast members, then kept going to show DJ, Sammy, Sugar, Shawn, and Amy.
"Ugh!" Amy complained. "Why can't I find anything on this stupid map?! It must be broken. Samey, give me yours!"
Shawn turned around to face her. "Why are you following us?"
"Not because I want to," she said while covering her nose. "That's for sure. And besides, as long as Samey's with you, you need all the help you can get."
"Says the girl who lost twice last season," Sammy muttered under her breath.
XXX
"I know I should take the high road with Amy," Sammy confessed. "But ever since I realized I don't need her to like me, it's just been so hard. But I guess I'll only have to put up with her for another couple of challenges before she gets kicked off. Again."
XXX
\
The camera cut to Sky and Victor in a dark corner of the set. "May I ask why you have brought me here?" Victor asked curiously.
"R-right," Sky said nervously. "I broke up with Keith between seasons."
Victor's eyes went wide. "Is it because of what happened after my elimination?" He asked in panic. "Because I truly did not mean-"
"I was planning on doing it anyway," the athlete admitted. "You were just the push I needed. I know you still like me Victor."
"Well how could I not?" He asked. "You are the most amazing person I'd ever met."
Sky blushed. "W-well want I wanted to tell you was that I like you too and-" She interrupted herself by letting out a monstrous belch that shook the camera, much to the gentleman's shock.
XXX
"I was this close," Sky groaned and held a finger and thumb very close together. She shook her head. "I need to focus on the game anyway. I'll ask him out after I win the money," she finished with an uncertain grimace.
XXX
\
The camera cut to all fifteen cast masts standing in a big as the GPS's lit up, indicating that something was near. "Well," Noah said dryly, "guess everybody lining up in a row was a bad idea. Who'd have thought?" He asked sarcastically.
"I did," Shawn answered, not understanding the rhetorical nature of the question. "Zombies or aliens, you never stand in a large group."
"Danger! Danger!" A mechanical voice chanted, causing everybody to look very afraid.
(Commercial Break)
The episode returned to the same chanting mechanical voice and the camera centered on Heather and Sugar. "We have to get out of here!" The queen bee announced.
"Yeah," Duncan agreed. "But where?"
"West rhymes with best," Sugar said. "So that's where I'm going," She, Heather, Amy and Duncan took off on a downward ramp in front of them.
"Wait!" Kitsune called to her boyfriend. "The map says the boiler room is east of here and that's always were the eggs are."
"But this is Chris," he shot back. "If we're expecting it, then he's gonna switch thing up on us.
"I'll go with you," Sky offered and she, Noah, and Victor joined the goofball by going east.
XXX
"In any alien flick the kissing couple's always the first to go," Duncan explained. "Foxy's hot, but I'm not letting her get in the way me winning a million big ones. No way."
XXX
\
After the confessional, Shawn, Zoey, and Mike were shown left in the room. "You guys wanna work together again?" Shawn asked. "It worked last time."
"Fine by me," Mike shrugged.
\
A jet of steam came out of a pipe as Chef ran by it. He looked to the left and smirked.
\
The camera cut to Leshawna, DJ, Sammy, and Harold on what looked to be a higher platform than earlier. "Well, we got these things to stop beeping," Leshawna announced. "Now what?" She was met with helpless shrugs.
"I guess we keep going straight," Harold suggested as Chef lowered himself behind him...only to fall. "Did you guys hear something?"
XXX
"I may not be the best looking guy," Harold told the confessional, "or the best dressed, or the most buff. But I get my butt kicked a lot, so my senses have totally heightened. I know when things are coming, nothing gets past me.
XXX
Lehawna, DJ, and Sammy looked shocked at the arrival of Chef. Harold kept glancing around and the cook tapped him on the shoulder. The dweeb tured around only to face the barrel of Chef's paintball gun. "Say hello to eternity," said the cook as he shot Harold, then Leshawna, DJ and Sammy. "That was too easy."
\
"Yeah," Chris said irately from within the monitor room. "I agree. Looks like I have to do everything around here." He put on a camo cap, looked into a mirror, smiled, and said, "I really should wear camo more often."
\
The camera flashed to Shawn, Mike, and Zoey running through the set. "How did he find us?" Shawn asked.
"I don't know," Mike answered. "But we can't keep this up forever."
"You can if he gets distracted," Zoey told the boys as she skidded to a stop. "No go!"
The camera cut to Chef running.. only for him to stop. "Are you here to give up?" He asked. The camera zoomed out to show Zoey standing in his way and glaring at him.
"No," she replied in her commando voice. "I'm here for revenge." She charged at the cook, the sudden attack stunning him long enough for her to connect with a shoulder to his stomach. He was pushed back a bit and scowled, then he raised his paintball gun to fire. She roundhouse kicked the weapon from his hands before he could. The two stared each other down before running forward with a battle cry.
\
Mike and Shawn were watching the thing with wide eyes. "Do you think she needs help?" Shawn asked.
"Maybe not," Mike answered, "but we should anyway." The two looked at each other, then charged into the fray.
The camera cut back to the fight. Chef took a swing at Zoey, but she ducked and punched him in the stomach. The punch having being lucky enough to push him back a fair bit... and right next to where his paintball gun landed earlier. He picked it up and shot Zoey, then turned around to see Mike and Shawn running at him. The boys stopped at the sight of the gun and ran away... only to be shot in the back.
\
The camera flashed to a shot of a GPS in Sky's hands, then cut to her, Victor, Noah, and Kitsune outside a vault-like door. The scene sut to the inside of the room as the door was opened and the four peeked their heads inside, the switched perspective to show a pit full of alien eggs.
\
The camera flashed to Duncan, Sugar, Amy, and Heather walking into a dead end room. "How did we end up here?" Sugar asked.
"If we knew that," Duncan answered. "We wouldn't be lost."
"Hey!" Sugar cried. "I was just askin' a question!"
The door behind them closed and Heather said, "Way to lead us into trap guys!" The camera panned up to show slime pouring out of sprinklers.
XXX
"Yeah, so I lost the challenge," Duncan admitted. "At least I was done being around those annoying chicks."
XXX
\
The camera flashed to the pit of eggs, and the four teens standing over it. "I am amazed at how realistic these eggs are," Victor commented.
"Looks like we won the challenge," Kitsune said with a smirk.
"Not quite Foxtrot," Noah quipped. "We still need to get the eggs back to home base." Kitsune's face lost her smirk.
"Someone lower me down," Sky said.
\
The scene skipped ahead to show Sky being lowered into the pit. She grabbed an egg and it broke. she growled in frustration and grabbed another one. The camera flashed ahead again to show the four holding eggs.
Chef opened the door, and fired a shot at Kitsune, who fell over and dropped her egg. "That sucked," she commented as the other three left the room. They opened the door and ran out into an old west street set, and skidded to a halt when they heard Chris's voice.
"Attention civilians," the host announced. The camera cut to him in the red helicopter as he continued, "the military is here to protect you! Unfortunately, we can't let you leave with any alien eggs!"
"But you instructed us to bring you the eggs!" Victor protested as Chef pointed his gun at Noah.
"I know," Chris said, pulled a lever in the copter, and dropped two bombs onto the set.
"Scatter!" Noah yelled, as he, Chef, Duncan, and Sky quickly ducked from the blast. The bombs dropped and the resulting splatter managed to hit Chris's copter.
"Glad I don't have to clean it up," Chris chuckled.
The camera showed Noah covered in paint. Victor and Sky walked up to him later "Perfect," the bookworm deadpanned.
"I am sorry," Victor put a hand on his friend's shoulder. "But I am sure you will be picked early for the teams."
"It's fine Wadsworth," Noah said, taking the hand off. Sky was shown smiling at the interaction
XXX
"Noah's smart," Sky said, "but he can be a bit of a jerk sometimes. The fact that Victor can easily make friends with him just shows how nice and sweet he is. Maybe I shouldn't wait to ask him out. I mean, I can focus on him and the game. Right?"
XXX
"Victor," Sky said after her confessional. "Since we can't really win now, can we finish our talk?"
"Before we do," he responded, "there is something I must ask of you." He gabbed her hands. "Sky, there is something about you that is truly enchanting. I do not know what it is, nor do I care to find out. I am simply content in the happiness your presence brings me. Will you allow me to court you?"
Sky nodded shyly. "I'd really like that. I was actually about to ask you that."
XXX
"I realize Sky is competitive and thus would most likely have been unwilling to a courtship," Victor explained. "However, there are times where caution must be thrown to the wind. This was simply one of those times."
XXX
"Well, that was a very romantic moment," Chris said as he parachuted down to the three. "You three gave it all you had, and it was no where near enough." Victor looked around and the camera cut to two eggs by the door they came out of, unharmed.
"I do believe you are wrong," Victor said as he and Sky ran past him and each grabbed an egg and ran to home base.
"You let them get the eggs?" Chris asked as he walked over to Chef, who was just getting up. "Do you have to screw up everything?"
"Maybe I'll do a better job," Chef said calmly, "when you GIVE ME MY MONEY!" Chris quickly fled the scene.
\
The camera flashed to home base, which was just the trailers. The thirteen that didn't make it to the final showdown stood, or sat around as Victor and Sky showed up with an egg in tow.
"We have our winners!" Chris announced as he and Noah walked on screen. "Our only two winners. The rest of you totally sucked." The camera gave another pan across the losers. "As our winners, Victor and Sky will now have their pick of the teams this season. Which, in case you haven't figured it out, means our two new lovebirds will be competing against each other this season."
The newest couple's eyes widened at the thought, and the two looked at each other. "We can certainly have both our courtship and the competition." Victor said nervously, "Correct?"
"Y-yeah," Sky said with even more nervousness.
"Sure you can," Chris said mockingly. "After we vote off two cast members in the most thrilling Guilded Chris Ceremony yet," everyone gasped. "Yes, I said two. I'm liking the two's today. Must be Tuesday." Kitsune was the only one who laughed at the joke. "I know. Can you believe I don't even get paid to write this show?"
"Yes," Heather muttered under her breath. Chris shot her a dirty look.
\
[A grand theme played as the camera zoomed in on the amphitheatre. Several film strips of the host highlights from the previous season flew past the screen, then the camera panned out from a solid gold screen to show a Guilded Chris.]
\
The host walked across the theatre stage with a blue tuxedo on. He walked up to the podium and said, "It's time to cast your votes. Under your seats," the camera showed everyone looking under their seats, "you'll find your voting devices." The camera showed a close up of one in DJ's hand, it had the faces of Noah, Sammy, Harold, and Mike each with a box next to it. "Just press the button of the person you want voted off."
DJ tried to look over at Harold's device an Chris continued. "Oh! And no peeking or it's," he began to sing, "Na na na na. Na na na na. Hey hey hey, goodbye!" Chef, in a pink dress and hat, was shown walking up with arms full of statues as the cast members laughed and the host continued, "The votes have been cast. If you get a Guilded Chris, it means you're safe. For now. And the Guilded Chris's go to... Victor."
"Sky."
"Harold."
"Duncan."
"And, Samey."
"My name is Sammy!" The nice twin corrected.
"Don't care," Chris answered without missing a beat. "Sugar, Heather, and Leshawna are also safe."
"So is Noah, and Kitsune."
"Yeah, because I'm public enemy number one right now," Noah deadpanned.
"Hey, this thing feels like chocolate," the goofball accused
"Next, is DJ."
"Surprisingly Amy, and last but not least..." The camera zoomed in on the nervous expressions of Mike, Zoey, and Shawn.
"Shawn!"
"Yes!" The zombie nut cheered, then looked at the shocked faces of his allies and said, "sorry."
"But why us?" Zoey asked.
"Because we're not idiots," Heather said simply.
XXX
"Those two have the skills and smarts to take themselves to the Final Two," Heather explained. "If I can get rid of them before they gain momentum, then it'd be stupid to vote for anyone else."
XXX
"Heather's right," Sugar said, "gettin' ridda them is gonna make everything easier! It makes some minds easier to mess with."
XXX
"It wasn't a strategy vote for me," Duncan explained. "The longer I see Mike, the more it bothers me that I know him from somewhere. But if I don't have to looke at him, I'll be fine."
XXX
"Any last words?" Chris asked the eliminated couple.
"Sammy," Mike said to his friend. "Don't let a new fear rule you life. Go for what you want." With that the two walked down the Walk of Shame hand in hand and into the Lame-osine.
"Who will Victor and Sky choose for their teams?" Chris asked the camera. "Will Amy ever treat her sister like a human being? Will Noah finally mouth off to the wrong person? Tune in next time for another exciting episode of: Total! Drama! Action!"
(Roll the credits)
\
(Bonus Clip)
The Comedian and The Indie Chick sat in the backseat of the limo. "I can't believe we were kicked out first," Mike said dejectedly.
"Well," Zoey said as she put a hand on his shoulder. "Maybe we'll do better next time."
"You think there's gonna be a next time?"
"I don't see why not, and besides. It's not like we really lost anything."
"I know," he conceded. "I just really wanted to win."
A ripple effect took the clip to a strange room that appeared to be made of brains. A large portrait of Mike with a tiny crack in it hung in the middle of the wall. The camera zoomed in as the crack grew and spider-webbed all over the portrait.
Author's Note Post Script: And that's the first elimination. I'll be the first to admit it's rather sloppy, but I didn't have a lot I wanted to accomplish and there was a lot that I wanted to cut out and had no substantial replacement. But as always there are the things to be explained.
I know Sky and Victor's arc seems to be moving fast, but I couldn't find a place to fit that conversation in last episode and it needed to happen before they won the challenge, because of them being the captains. Send in those team predictions! I wanna know who guesses the closest. That person will get a one shot for the Randomverse pairing of their choice, even if it's not 'canon.'
Speaking of Sky, I know she can seem a little annoying with her flip flopping, but keep in mind that she doesn't really know what she wants at this point.
I hope everyone liked the fight between Zoey and Chef, it was fun to write and helped fill a void left behind by some scene cutting.
And of course, Mike and Zoey's elimination. I knew that like in cannon, a couple would host the Aftermath, a couple would captain the teams and a couple would be the first gone. I had originally planned on Gwent being both the Aftermath hosts and the first boot this season, but later remembered the bonus clips and realized I could use this one for some more foreshadowing. So I switched Gwent for Zoke in this cast. Also it had to be them, because I have plans this season for all the other ships.
I hope you all enjoyed the episode, or some part of it.
With that I'm signing off
