Simpsons vs. Harry Potter Survivor
Episode 6
Brian: On our last episode, the feud at the Simpsons Tribe between Bart and Lisa continued. However, with their team down two tribe members, both Bart and Lisa reluctantly agreed to come together as a team to win some immunity challenges and get back in the game. At first, this strategy did not work out, as the Hogwarts Tribe won the five-leg torch relay reward challenge to win their tribe some chocolate. Then came a very critical immunity challenge for the Simpsons Tribe, a challenge that they won by being the first team to retrieve three luxury items from the opposing tribe that were hidden in the oasis of palm trees.
The Hogwarts Tribe was about to head to tribal council when tragedy struck. While fetching water from a nearby spring in the oasis, Luna was viciously attacked by what she described as a "mini basilisk." While not life-threatening, Luna's injuries were severe enough to force her to withdraw from the competition. Then, our cameras caught Malfoy congratulating Neville of all people on a job well done.
Will Harry, Ron and Hermione be able to prove that Neville summoned the snake with magic and get him disqualified, or will Neville, Malfoy and Crabbe pick off the Golden Trio one by one? Will the author actually give the Simpsons Tribe a decent plotline? Who will be the next castaway voted off? All this and more in the 6th episode of Simpsons vs. Harry Potter Survivor.
Hogwarts Tribe, Day 16
(Harry is asleep, dreaming about walking down a beach while holding hands with Hermione. Then, all of a sudden, it gets really cold and the sky grows dark. Out of nowhere, a giant snake appears and begins to attack Hermione. Harry tries to grab his wand, but it is not there. The snake begins to drag Hermione away, but Harry is unable to chase after her. He hears a loud, sinister laugh just before waking up in the shelter, his body pouring in sweat.)
Harry: (sitting up) Hermione? Hermione, where are you?
(Right beside Harry, Hermione wakes up and looks over to Harry with concern.)
Hermione: Harry, what's wrong?
Harry: (looking over at Hermione with relief) Oh thank god, it was just a nightmare!
Hermione: What nightmare?
Harry: (calming down) We were walking together on the beach when suddenly a snake appeared out of nowhere and attacked you, and I couldn't do anything about it. I had no wand and I couldn't move.
Hermione: (hugging Harry and stroking his hair) Well it's alright…it was just a nightmare.
Harry: Hermione, promise me you won't leave. Please promise you won't go anywhere on your own until we have this snake mystery figured out!
Hermione: Harry, I can take care of myself.
Harry: I believe you Hermione, but I just don't know what I would do if you ended up like Luna. Please Hermione, stay by my side.
Hermione: (embraces Harry) Harry, I'm not going anywhere.
(Harry returns the hug and they look at the sunrise in the sky.)
Harry: Want to go fish with me?
Hermione: I've never fished before, (smiling) but I guess there's a first time for everything.
(Harry and Hermione grab their makeshift fishing poles. As they walk towards the shore, they spot a little, yellow-skinned girl running towards them.)
Harry: Hey, that looks like the girl from the Simpsons Tribe….what's her name?
Hermione: Lisa
Harry: Yeah that's right…what do you think she wants?
(Lisa stops running right in front of Harry and Hermione and takes a moment to catch her breath.)
Hermione: Lisa, is everything alright?
Lisa: (still breathing heavily from the physical exertion) Yeah, everything's fine with our tribe. We heard about the snake attack near your camp last night though. I'm very sorry to hear about your friend Luna getting hurt.
Harry: Thanks for your concern Lisa.
Lisa: I ran down here before the rest of my tribe woke up because I want to help you guys catch the culprit.
Harry: Really? That's great! Thanks Lisa.
Lisa: I want to search the spring for clues, but I don't want to be seen by your other tribe members.
Hermione: Hmmmm…..(gets an idea) Harry, didn't you bring your dad's Invisibility Cloak with you as your luxury item?
Harry: (hit with a sudden look of realization) Yes, yes I did! Wow, I can't believe I didn't think about using it before. Hermione, you're a genius! (Harry kisses her on the cheek and Hermione blushes)
Lisa: Awww…you guys make a cute couple.
(Both Harry and Hermione blush as Harry runs toward the shelter to grab his invisibility cloak. He bumps into Ron, who is just waking up.)
Ron: (groggy) Bloody hell mate, what are you in such a hurry for?
Harry: Just grabbing my invisibility cloak (looks around the shelter to find no one else there) Where are the others?
Ron: I don't know. I just woke up.
(Back in the forest of palm trees, the new alliance of Malfoy, Crabbe and Neville meet.)
Malfoy: Excellent work disposing of Luna, Longbottom!
Neville: Thank you Malfoy! Might I recommend going after the Mudblood next?
Malfoy: No. Granger and Potter have become inseparable, and there's no way we could take on both at once. Weasley, on the other hand, is a much easier target.
Crabbe: Should we conjure another snake, Malfoy?
Malfoy: (thinking) Actually, summoning a snake two times in a row would seem suspicious. I think a tribal council vote should suffice.
Neville: Very well. You're the boss mate. (The meeting ends and the trio heads back towards camp.)
Simpsons Tribe, Day 16
Bart: I've looked all around the camp, and I haven't seen Lisa all day. Her absence is a welcome breath of fresh air, if you ask me. Without her bossing around and making us do chores, the rest of the tribe has decided to play a little game of 2-on-2 football.
(Bart throws a pass to Nelson, who easily runs past Homer for a touchdown. As the duo celebrates, they notice Lisa walking back towards camp.)
Bart: (looking at her suspiciously) Where have you been all day?
Lisa: I went to visit the Hogwarts Tribe to make sure everyone was alright after yesterday's attack. I also helped them try to figure out who conjured the snake. I didn't find any evidence though.
Bart: (snorts and looks at his sister) Look at you aiding the enemy! Whose side are you on anyway?
Lisa: (yelling) Well, excuse me for caring about the safety of others Bart!
Bart: (smirks) You know, I don't blame you for hanging out with them. With my strong alliance, you'd probably get along better with them anyway.
(Lisa looks at Bart with contempt before walking back to the shelter to get some rest.)
Lisa: I can't believe Bart's behavior since we've been here! I mean, he's never really been nice to me on a regular basis back in Springfield, but he's not this mean to me at home either! It's almost as if he left all his compassion, respect and moral fiber behind before getting here! If I want to stand any chance of making the merger, I need to talk Moe and Nelson into leaving Bart's alliance and just voting off people based on merit. Take Homer for example. What has he done for the tribe since getting here? ABSOLUTELY NOTHING! If anyone should go home, it's him.
Homer: Whose side am I on? What are you talking about? (pause) Oh, the fight between Lisa and Bart….meh.
Day 17: Reward Challenge
Brian: (holding one of the wands he confiscated at the beginning) So, how does this thing create a martini anyway?
Cameraman: Uhhhhh Brian…
Brian: (looks at camera and puts wand away) Once again, I'm here by the beach awaiting the arrival of our two tribes for the next reward challenge.
(Simpsons and Hogwarts Tribes arrive for reward challenge.)
Brian: Greetings castaways. It's nice to see that everyone's okay after the attack on Luna. For our reward challenge today, you all will be swimming out to the big buoys as a team. Hogwarts Tribe, your buoy is the black on on the left, and the Simpsons Tribe, your buoy is the yellow one on the right. Once all team members are there, you will need to dive down into the water, grab the five flags, and then swim back to shore with the flags. The first time to have all five team members cross the finish line with all five flags is the winner. The winning tribe will be rewarded with this set of comfy camping chairs. (opens box to reveal several folding chairs with cup holders and arm rests. Some oohs and ahhs emit from the group of castaways.) Hogwarts Tribe, I'm going to need one member to sit out this challenge. (Everyone stares at Crabbe, who steps forward to stand beside Brian.) Crabbe will sit out for the Hogwarts Tribe. Everyone else, stand by the starting line and await my signal.
(Castaways, with the exception of Crabbe, stand behind starting line.)
Brian: Survivors ready….GO!
[The five Simpsons Tribe members and five Hogwarts Tribe members sprint then dive into the water, swimming with all their might. Harry and Hermione lead the Hogwarts Tribe, followed by Malfoy, Neville and Ron. The Simpsons Tribe is led by Moe, with Bart and Nelson close behind, Lisa trying to keep up, and then Homer lagging far behind. The Hogwarts gets all of its members to the buoy first and start diving down to retrieve the slippery and wet flags. While that is happening, the Simpsons Tribe gets all of its members to the buoy and Moe dives down to begin retrieving flags. Unfortunately for them, due to Homer's slow swimming the Hogwarts Tribe has all five of their flags before Moe and Bart can retrieve two. The Simpsons manages to grab all their flags and begin the swim towards shore, but they only get halfway there before the Hogwarts Tribe crosses the finish line.]
Brian: Congratulations Hogwarts Tribe! The lawn chairs are yours.
(Ron, tired from the strenuous exercise, does not hesitate to grab a chair and start sitting in it. The Simpsons Tribe finally reaches shore, exhausted and disappointed.]
Homer: Pfff…whatever, at least we still have the hammocks.
Simpsons Tribe, Day 17
Lisa: Homer's poor performance in the reward challenge is exactly what I needed to persuade Nelson and Moe to vote for him instead of me. With Homer asleep as usual and Bart fishing, I should have a chance to talk to each of them in private.
(Lisa walks over to Moe's makeshift bar behind the shelter and sits down. Moe, busying cleaning the bar with his bar rag, looks up and sees her.)
Moe: Oh, hiya Lisa, what can I get ya?
Lisa: No drinks for me Moe. I just need to talk to you about something.
Moe: Uhhh…yeah sure, anything.
Lisa: I want you to leave Bart's alliance.
Moe: I don't know Lisa. I gotta pretty thing going with Bart and that Muntz kid.
Lisa: (gets an idea) Moe, did you ever find out who made all those prank calls to your bar?
Moe: Nope.
Lisa: Well, what if I told you it was Bart that made the calls.
Moe: (shocked) Are you sure?
Lisa: Yep, I watched him make the call firsthand.
Moe: (angry) Why that putrid little pukestain! (turns back to Lisa) Okay Lisa, consider me out of his alliance, but who do you want me to vote for instead?
Lisa: Just vote based on who you feel is contributing the least to the tribe. Homer, for example, did pretty badly in the reward challenge.
Moe: (uncertain) Man, I don't know if I can vote off one of my best customers.
Lisa: Has Homer paid his bar tab recently?
Moe: (anger crossing his face again) Homer is a goner!
(Lisa walks away smiling, her plan to break up Bart's alliance halfway done.)
Hogwarts Tribe, Day 17
(Harry, Ron and Hermione are under the invisibility cloak, searching around the spring for more clues.)
Ron: Harry, if we didn't find anything before, I don't think we're going to find anything now.
Hermione: (shushes him) Ron, we need to be quiet or else the others might find out we're here.
Harry: (gets their attention) Guys, we might have something here.
(In the grass around the spring, Harry notices a piece of wood that looks considerably different from the wood on the palm trees. He picks it up and recognizes immediately that it's a wand.)
Harry: You were right Hermione. It looks like someone brought along more than one wand.
Hermione: It's a start, but it's still not enough evidence to convict one of the three in Malfoy's alliance. We will need to find out who cast the last spell on this, but we can't do it without our own wands.
Harry: Well, we can eliminate Crabbe right away. He's definitely not capable of the advanced magic required to conjure a basilisk.
Ron: I think it was Neville!
Hermione: Ron, we can't just jump to conclusions without any evidence.
Ron: We have the wand and we have the fact that he's been hanging with Malfoy and Crabbe for days now! That's evidence enough for me. I WANT JUSTICE GUYS! (starts to tear up) I WANT JUSTICE FOR LUNA!
(Harry and Hermione console Ron and then head back to camp with the invisibility cloak and the recently discovered wand. Meanwhile, in another part of the forest of the palm trees, Malfoy and his alliance are meeting again, and Malfoy is not very happy.)
Malfoy: What do you mean you may have left the wand there?
Neville: Look, it was an accident. Besides, even if they find it, they won't be able to track the wand back to us without magic.
Malfoy: (calming down) True….you just better hope they don't find it because it's your ass that's going down, not mine. Meeting dismissed.
Day 18: Immunity Challenge
Brian: (hits a golf ball into the river.) Darn, sliced it!
Cameraman: Brian, you're on!
Brian: (puts down club and turns to camera.) Yeah, you already know what's happening. Bring in the tribes.
(Hogwarts and Simpsons Tribes arrive at beach.)
Brian: Simpsons Tribe, as you probably already know, the immunity idol was taken from your camp last night while you were sleeping and was hidden somewhere in the forest of palm trees. With the compass and directions provided, your team must locate the immunity idol and bring it back here. The team that emerges from the forest with the immunity idol wins immunity. Any questions? (Homer raises hands.) None? Okay then, let's get started.
Homer: D'oh!
Brian: SURVIVORS READY, and GO!
[Both teams set off into the forest, with Lisa and Hermione serving as the lead guides. It takes a while for the teams to get their bearings among the palm trees. Eventually, with Lisa's guidance, the Simpsons Tribe reaches the immunity idol just before the Hogwarts Tribe, but they still need to get out of the forest with it. The challenge changes into the Hogwarts Tribe hunting down the Simpsons Tribe for the idol. However, they can't quite catch, and the Simpsons Tribe emerges victorious.]
Brian: Congratulations Simpsons Tribe! You get to keep the immunity idol for three more days. Hogwarts Tribe, barring any more catastrophes, I'll see you in tribal council tonight.
(Fortunately, the rest of the day passes by uneventfully for the Hogwarts Tribe and they head to tribal council as the sun sets.)
Tribal Council
(Hogwarts Tribe enters the hut and takes their seats. Brian enters from the side door.)
Brian: I'm glad to see you still remember where tribal council is. After all, it's been quite a while since you been here. Harry, what seems to be the status of your tribe right now?
Harry: Brian, right now our tribe couldn't possibly be more divided. I think it's pretty clear that this vote is going to be very important for our futures here on the island.
Brian: Well said Harry. Before we vote, I just want to give you all a quick update on Luna's condition. Her injuries are not life-threatening and she is stable condition. (sighs of relief from the Golden Trio, indifference from the rest) However, she will be in St. Mungo's Hospital for at least a month recovering from her injuries. With that being said, it is now time to vote. Ron, lead us off.
[Ron walks up to the voting booth, and writes down his vote for NEVILLE.]
Ron: I know we don't have enough evidence to prove it, but I wholeheartedly believe it was Neville who conjured the snake. I can't explain. It's just a gut feeling. That's why I'm voting for him and I'm sticking to it.
[Shot of Harry voting , then Malfoy voting for RON.]
Malfoy: I'll admit Weasley, I didn't expect you to last this long, but now it's time for you to go.
[Shot of Crabbe Voting, then Neville Voting, then Hermione writes down her vote and shows it to the camera: MALFOY.]
Hermione: Malfoy is clearly the leader of that other alliance. We get him out of here, we're in a very good position to get rid of Neville and Crabbe.
[Hermione puts the vote in the bin and head back to her seat. Brian grabs the voting box and sits back down.]
Brian: Oh yeah, one more thing before I read the votes. Whoever is voted off tonight will become the first member of our jury. Once the tribes are merged, the jury members will be joining us at each tribal council so that they can make an educated vote when it gets down to the final two to determine who will win. Without any further delays, I'll read the votes.
Brian: (Opens up the box and pulls out a paper.) First vote is for…Ron. Second Vote…Malfoy…third vote…Neville….fourth vote….Draco….fifth vote…Ron…that's two for Ron, two for Malfoy…and the last vote is for….Ron. Please bring me your torch.
(Draco has a satisified look on his face as Ron gets up to grab his torch. Ron hugs both Hermione and Harry before he walks up to Brian with his torch.)
Brian: Ron Weasley, the tribe has spoken. (extinguishes the flame)
Ron: (to Harry and Hermione) It's up to you guys now. Go get them!
(Harry and Hermione wave to Ron as he exits via the side door.)
Brian: The rest of you may head back to camp now.
(The five remaining members of the Hogwarts Tribe grab their torches and head back to camp.)
END OF EPISODE SIX
Post- Tribal Council Confessional
Ron: You know, it's probably for the best that I got voted off now. With Luna hurt, my mind just wasn't in the game, so there's no way I would have won. Harry and Hermione may be outnumbered, but I have complete faith in them. I told Luna before she was airlifted to the hospital that either Harry, Hermione or myself is going to win the competition, and I'm sticking by that statement. They're going to expose Neville for the criminal he is, they're going to make it to the merger and one of them is going to win the one million galleons, and I'll be rooting for them the whole way.
