The Professor came to and look at his surroundings. He appeared to be in some kind of cell. There were bamboo bars in front of him. He stood up and his eyes started to focus more. He saw an angry looking tribal man standing on the outside. "So you think you can steal Princess Rose." said Kawan.
The Professor shook his head to clear his mind. He then spoke. "She is not Princess Rose. She is…"
"Silence!" commanded Kawan. "I will hear no more of your lies. You bring dishonor to me and to my beloved Rose."
The Professor looked and saw "Rose" standing before him. She had an odd look on her face. He attempted to speak to her. "Ginger…please…you have to listen to me…You are not Princess Rose…You are Ginger…Ginger Grant…."
"Rose" held up her hand to silence him. "I will hear no more." She said sternly. "Kawan has told me what you have done."
"What I've done?" The Professor said blankly. "Ginger…I haven't done anything. I swear you are not Rose. You are Ginger…You.."
"Rose" turned away from him not wishing to see him anymore. She walked away while Kawan remained.
"She no believe your lies." He said victoriously. "Your tricks did not work. You have brought us great dishonor and shamed my beloved Rose. For this you will pay." He turned away leaving the Professor there.
The Professor once again tried to call out to "Rose" but it was hopeless.
He sat down in the cell. What did they do to Ginger? Why was she acting this way? If he could only speak to her…..only tell her how much he loved her. Surely she would remember…She had to. No matter what Kawan had done to Ginger, he couldn't erase the love she had for him. He had to get to her. But how? He was trapped. Trapped in this cell. And he had no idea what was in store for him.
Tribal camp
"Do not worry my Rose." said Kawan. "I will take care of that Professor. He will cause you no more dishonor. I promise you."
"Rose" nodded and said nothing. She went inside her tent leaving Kawan outside.
Her mind was on that man in the cell. She was drawn to him. She didn't know why but she was. That is why she had to leave. She couldn't be around him. Maybe that is what Kawan meant by dishonoring her. Had he taken advantage of her somehow? But he didn't seem like he would be the type of man who would do such a thing. He seemed like such a caring man. She couldn't help but be slightly attracted to him. Okay more than slightly. She was very attracted to him. But why should she be? Kawan said he had shamed and dishonored her.
It was all so confusing. Kawan was to be her husband. She was supposed to love him yet she felt nothing for him.
But that man in the cell, this Professor, she felt something. What it was she didn't know.
"Rose" shook her head. It was no matter. He was going to be dealt with. If Kawan had said he dishonored her then who was she to question him. Kawan would see that her honor was restored. And then they would be married.
Lagoon Cave
"Any luck?" asked a hopeful Mary Ann as Gilligan kept working on the hole that they managed to penetrate in the brick.
Gilligan stopped a minute to rest. He sat down on the cave floor. "Some." He replied. "The hole is starting to get bigger."
"We have to keep going." said Mary Ann taking the metal bar.
Gilligan nodded as Mary Ann took her turn working on the bricks.
"Who do you think trapped us in here?" He asked of her.
Mary Ann frowned. "I'm not sure but I'm betting that Kawan had something to do with it. "
"Kawan? Oh that one who kept saying that Ginger was Rose?"
"Yup." said Mary Ann pursing her lips as she hammered away at the bricks. "I don't know what he's up to but we have to stop him."
"You think he would do something to Ginger?" asked a worried Gilligan.
Mary Ann paused. "Well I don't think he would harm her…he is convinced she is this Princess Rose…I think he would do something to convince her she is who he believes her to be."
"We can't let him do that." said Gilligan. "Ginger isn't Princess Rose. And she loves the Professor."
"That's something else that worries me." said Mary Ann as she went back to work. "What if he does something horrible to the Professor?"
"Then we need to keep him from doing it." said Gilligan. He got up and took the bar from Mary Ann. "We've got to get out of here and stop him. I won't let him do this to my friends."
"Me either." said Mary Ann. "Whatever Kawan is up to, we are not going to allow him to succeed."
Other Island Cave
Mr. Howell started to regain consciousness. He tried moving his hands but they wouldn't' budge. He then realized his feet were also tied together. How did he get in here? His eyes looked around and saw Mrs. Howell next to him. He called to her. "Lovey…Lovey my dear…wake up…please wake up."
Mrs. Howell stirred and opened her eyes. She looked around and was horrified. "Thurston…where are were?" She asked. She noticed the ropes around her hands and feet. "What on Earth…What is going on?"
"I don't know Lovey." replied Mr. Howell. "I have no idea how we got in here…Oh my look! It's the Skipper! Skipper! Skipper!" He called out.
The Skipper started to awake but felt awful. "What is…Where am I?...Mr. and Mrs. Howell? What are you doing here?"
"We have no idea." explained Mr. Howell. "I remember looking for Gilligan and Mary Ann and then it all went black."
The Skipper tried to get up but fell back down. "I feel…so weak….I…I can barely move…"
"Oh dear. Thurston…you don't suppose…" Mrs. Howell's voice trailed off.
Mr. Howell looked grim. "I'm not sure Lovey but it's possible."
"What?" asked the Skipper.
"You may have been hit by a poison arrow or dart." replied Mr. Howell.
"Oh…I've got to get out of here….the Professor.."
"My good man please sit down. You are in no shape to move." commanded Mr. Howell. "Whoever did this may very well have the others. We have got to find a way to get out of here and help them."
The Skipper fought and managed to stand up. He looked and saw the rocks blocking the cave door. "Oh no…we are trapped!"
The Howells looked and gasped in horror.
"Who could have done this!" exclaimed Mrs. Howell in fright.
"Whoever it was is going to pay dearly! No one traps a Howell!" roared Mr. Howell.
The Skipper nodded. "Mr. Howell…can you get your ropes untied?"
"I'll do my best."
The older man worked on his ropes struggling to get free.
Tribal camp
The Professor sat alone in his cell trying to find someway out but no solution presented itself.
There were guards all around. He couldn't overpower them all.
He felt helpless. And what was worse, they did something to Ginger to make her believe she was actually Rose.
What if that Kawan tried…it made him sick to think about. Another man putting their hands on his beautiful Ginger.
When that Duke was on the island and Mary Ann and Ginger were fawning all over him, it made him angry. He didn't care what Mary Ann thought of Duke, what angered him was Ginger thinking that this Duke was something special.
He had never been so glad in his life for her to discover he was slime.
When Mr. Howell came up with that plan for her to use him to make Duke think that there was something between them he was overjoyed. It was his chance to be near her. If only he would have told her how he felt then but for some reason he couldn't bring himself to.
He had wished they could have stayed in that moment forever. Just lying on the warm sand with Ginger…having her kiss him….It was heaven. More than anything he wanted to return to that. Be out of this hell and have Ginger in his arms loving her.
He recalled the first day they ended up shipwrecked. She latched onto him because she said he was the most intelligent and surely he would come up with something to help them get off the island and plus she was afraid and he made her feel safe.
The Professor also thought back to the first day he saw her.
He boarded the Minnow and was about to take his seat when his eyes fell on this incredible beauty with red hair. There was a fun mischievous look in her eyes as she cast them about the ship. He was fascinated by her. Her laughter. Her wit. Her charm. Everything.
Then her eyes caught his and she sauntered on over to him.
He felt awkward at first as she actually sat down next to him on the boat and began flirting with him however it quickly passed. She began asking him questions about himself and saying how smart he must be.
He never felt so at ease with any woman in his life as he did with her that day. Happily answering her questions and basking in her compliments.
And then the other day, when she said "I love you."
He didn't know that kind of joy was possible to feel. He couldn't believe it.
The beautiful glamorous movie star Ginger Grant loved him. She could have any man she dreamed and she wanted him.
She agreed to marry him. She was going to be his wife. He almost had to pinch himself to make sure he wasn't dreaming. His mind then returned to his current predicament which was finding a way out but how?
Island Cave
Mr. Howell continued to work his ropes noticing that they appeared to be loose. Why he didn't bother asking, he was grateful they were. He was able to free his hands and then untied his feet.
He turned and freed Mrs. Howell. "Thank you darling." She said rubbing her wrist from where the rope had been tied.
Mr. Howell went over to the Skipper. "Are you feeling okay? Do you think you can help me move these rocks?"
The Skipper didn't think he could but was determined to push through to help save his fellow castaways. "I'll do my best." He said standing up.
The two men walked over to the cave door and began working to pry away the rocks.
Lagoon Cave
"I think we are almost there!" said Mary Ann. "A little more!"
"Keep going!" said Gilligan as she worked the bar on the bricks.
A brick came crumbling down and there was small gap.
Mary Ann sat down exhausted. "We did it."
"You did it." smiled Gilligan kissing her forehead. "Great work."
"I didn't do it myself." She grinned. "But thank you."
Gilligan looked back at the wall with the small gap. "Hopefully the hard part is over." He said as he stood up. "I'm going to see if I can get the rest of these bricks free."
Mary Ann nodded as she rested. She prayed they could get out and wouldn't be too late. Kawan was not going to get away with his evil plan. No way was she going to allow him to come between Ginger and the Professor.
They were her friends. Like family to her. They deserved to be happy. Together.
Ginger told her many stories about the men she dated back in Hollywood. Although she tried to put a happy go lucky spin on it, Mary Ann sensed that Ginger hadn't really loved any of them. She never had that look in her eyes that she had whenever she would look at the Professor. Ginger was truly in love with him and Mary Ann was going to make sure that no one interfered with that love.
Her thought were interrupted by a loud crumble. She looked at saw Gilligan was able to knock down a large portion of the bricks. Enough for them to crawl out!
"Gilligan! You did it!" She squealed. She quickly got up and went over to him placing a big kiss on his lips.
He turned red and pushed her away. "Not now Mary Ann. We have to save Ginger and the Professor. Come on."
He took her hand and they two made their way out of the cave.
"Let's head back to camp." said Gilligan. "We need to get some food and see if the others are there."
"Good idea." agreed Mary Ann.
They hadn't had anything to eat or drink in hours and they needed their strength.
Gilligan took her head and they quickly rushed back to the camp.
"Skipper!" called out Gilligan. "Skipper!"
No answer. "Skipper! Hey Skipper!"
Still nothing.
Mary Ann was worried. "Mr. Howell? Mrs. Howell? Hello? Professsor? Ginger?"
Mary Ann turned to Gilligan with a frightened look. "Where is everyone?"
