Intro
Last time on Total Drama Castle:
Our teens took part in a challenge that ultimately proved that, yes, life is a bed of roses. Eight chickens backed out, two from the Otters, and six from the Hedgehogs. Ultimately, though, the Killer Hedgehogs' risk paid off, as they won the challenge and a hot tub party. Our first elimination went down to two ladies: Sophia, and Gina.
Sophia's smart, but a real mean ^%$%&^ to everyone in the dorm, and Gina's been nothing helpful to her team. In the end, though, it was Gina who got the boot and was sent home.

"WHO. TOOK. MY. IPOD?" was the first thing everyone heard that morning. The Hedgehog girls cautiously opened their doors to a furious Victoria.
"No one would take it, Victoria!" Kate tried to subdue her, to no avail. Victoria raged through to the elevator, waking up every single person in the building with her shouts.
"Great. Now she's mad at everyone." Kate sighed. Everyone huddled around her. "What's new?" Madison asked, smiling. "Besides," she added bitterly, "she's not the only one who lost something. My cookbook's missing."
"So's my hair curler. My hair's starting to smooth out!" Martha groaned.
"My baseball bat's gone, too!" Kate cried.
"This sounds so suspiciously Sophia. I bet they're stealing our stuff to try to pit us against each other." Kate said, clenching her fists.
They all shrugged. "If we don't do anything, they'll give it back. Besides, Chris could be orchestrating this whole thing. Come on, let's have brekkie." Jenny said, putting an arm around Kate's shoulders.
The other team, however, had also fallen victim to the nightcrawling thief. For once, everyone was huddled in one large group, taking inventory of the missing items. Josh's mirror was missing, as well as Sophia's makeup kit.
"Serves her right." Kate grunted as they grabbed trays.
Kate: Okay, just to be clear, I totally did not steal her makeup. Probably just Chris trying to mess with us.
Chris entered the dining room, grinning like an idiot. "What's got you all riled up?" Sophia demanded.
"Just your challenge. I see some of you are missing valuable possessions." He grinned again, and this time, Chef joined in.
"I knew it! What have you done with my iPod, you no-good—" Victoria started to launch herself at him, but her teammates grabber her and pulled her back to her seat.
Chris held a hand out. "All part of the challenge, guys. Meet me at the garden after breakfast."
"So. I understand that some of you have lost some items of yours. Don't worry. You'll get them back. Eventually.
"Here's your challenge: half of the contestants here have lost a valuable item. I'll be giving the other half clues on the location of each item. Your task is to try to work with your partner to find that item. Now, most of the pairs come from different teams, which is what makes this special.
"You guys will not be working as a team for this one. You'll be working as a pair. Basically, your task is to retrieve the object that was stolen from you. You get that, and you get immunity. Now, the pairs who do not retrieve their object by midnight tonight will have to face elimination. The teams are as follows…
"Carter and the twins, you'll have to hunt down Martha's hair curlers and Alexis's straightening iron. Rick and Kate will work to find her baseball bat. Roy and Paige have to look for her heels. Jenny and Lanie will have to look for her glasses. Jerry and Maddie will look for her cookbook. Kevin and Sophia will work together for her makeup kit. Sidney and Mike will hunt down Mike's running shoes. Josh and Javier will find Josh's mirror. Will and Ashley shall look for Will's black belt, and that leaves Victoria and Rose to find…"
"My stolen iPod." Victoria turned to Rose. "You better not mess this up."
"Also, some teams will have to work together to find their items. That means some items may be in the same location. Al-righty, then, will the clue holders please step forward?" Chris called, holding scraps of paper in his hands. Rose began to back away from Victoria, heading to Chris's direction. "Good luck, Rose!" Jenny called out as she, too, approached Chris.
Madison: Poor Rose.
Rose: How am I ever going to survive?
"Your first clue is at the shooting range. Well, makeshift shooting range, anyway." Chris pulled everyone over, gesturing to the edge of the roof. There were ten harnesses hanging off wooden stakes.
"Clue-holders, I have here ten slips of paper that represent your clues. To earn them, your partner must shoot your forehead with this foam bullet gun. Blindfolded. You'll be hanging off those harnesses, by the way. Hanging off the edge of the roof of a nine-story building. So. Get hanging, clue-holders! You have the whole day to search for the items."
Sidney: Again, didn't sign up for this.
Jenny: Oh, crap.
Rose: Can I back out now, or
"You mean I don't get to hang off the edge of the building?" Paige asked sadly. Chris shook his head. "No. Roy will do that."
"But, like, can I do it after the challenge?" she protested. "Pleeeeaaaaa-" Chris stopped her. "Okay, fine. I'll leave one out here for you."
She cheered, "Yay!", blindfolded herself, and grabbed a gun. Roy, who had just gotten into his harness, warned her, "No, hold on, girl. That stuff hurts. Be careful where you point!" but Paige had already began shooting. Luckily for them, a stray bullet hit his forehead, and Chris announced that Paige and Roy were getting a head start. He gave them their clue: a drawing of a carousel.
"Central Park!" they both exclaimed, running down to the elevator.
The others stared after them glumly, and the shooters put their blindfolds on.
"How are we going to find my bat in a hotel?" Kate said angrily. She'd suffered through her teammate's bullets, and they were the last ones who finished the shootout.
He shrugged. "Hey, I don't know. Might be stuck in someone's room. Now that'd be exciting."
Kate grabbed his ear. "Be serious, here! If you want to stay in this competition, you'll have to help me. And if we lose, I'm going to persuade everyone to vote you off."
He pulled away from her grasp. "Okay, okay, fine, control freak. Where do we start?"
She smiled, spotting a teenager working as a bellboy. "How about him?"
He followed her gaze. "What, are you gonna lip-gloss him to death?"
She pulled her purse out. "Something like that."
Chris's Mid-show Snippet
Alright, since our contestants are all over the place, let's run down their locations:
Paige and Roy, over at the Central Park carousel are having no luck on finding her heels. Better hurry, too. Midafternoon's usually when the kids come along. What they don't know is that her heels are currently being used as levers for the control box.
The Waldorf group aren't having much luck, either. Kate and Rick have successfully managed to charm Mister Bellboy here, but produced no results. There's a little fundraiser coming up tonight, though, for the Metro Baseball Association, so they better find that bat quick before it gets auctioned off.
Lanie and Jen, meanwhile, also situated at the Waldorf, are hunting down her glasses, which have been cleverly hidden in the chandelier. Guests are not gonna be happy with the sight.
Over at the Hudson, Sophia's makeup kit isn't looking good as it floats downstream. Will the pair manage to get it before it reaches the Jersey shores? Let's take a look.
"Over there, on the raft! Well, what are you waiting for?" Sophia screamed desperately as her precious makeup kit, strapped to a small raft, neared them. "GET IT!" she shouted and pushed Kevin in. He fell into the water, dazed, and swam after the raft.
Kevin: Great. Back at the Hudson. Is this gonna be, like, a thing, with me and that river?
On the other side of the river, Carter and the twins spotted the curlers and iron hanging precariously off a boat's railing. It was a yacht, one where fancy rich people went fishing in, drinking cocktails as they sailed by.
This one was different, though. There was a party going on, and pretty soon the guests would notice the curlers and iron.
Alexis and Martha: Um, so we really need to get those back… our hair looks identical now! How are people like, gonna find out who's who?
"Should we wait?" Alexis asked her teammates.
"If we wait, they might spot it and take it. Or it might fall into the water." Carter reasoned.
"Ouch." The three said in unison.
"So, our other option is to, basically, crash the party." Martha said. They all grinned.
This was going to be interesting.
Another Mid-Show Snippet brought to you by Chef Hatchet
Alright. Lessee what the otha teams are up to:
Javier and that vain dude a' holed up in the dorm, searchin' fo' his mirro'. Now, befo' I get all work'd up on tha', they're serchin' the bedrooms on everay flo'. An' I'm here ta tell ya now, the forest is the bes' place ta hide a tree. So we hid that freaking mirror—in a forest. The ladies' room.
Madison an' tha' creepy kid are a' the NYPD twelfth precinct, lookin' fo' da' cookbook of 'ers. Wha' they've yet ta find ou' is it's hidden in the captain's offis'. Oooo, Cap'n Ga'es ain't gon' be happy.
Jerry and Madison slowly made their way into the precinct. They'd crossed police officers giving the questioning looks, but luckily, they didn't get into any trouble.
Well, until Detective Flynn took them to the Captain's office.
"What are you doing in my precinct?" Captain Gates demanded, hands on her hips. They both tried to explain, stammering. "We're part of this contest, see, Total Drama Castle—" Madison started.
"A-and this is part of a challenge. Maddie's cookbook was hidden and we have to find it to win."
At the mention of the name 'Maddie', Captain Gates plucked a cookbook from one of her files. "Well, screw me over, I thought you two looked familiar. My son's a huge fan. Could you maybe sign something for him, quickly?" she held out a notepad, and both teens signed it, shocked at how their fame had spread so quickly. She thanked them, and they left for the dorm, high-fiving.
Jerry: That was awesome.
The Brooklyn Bridge group was also doing pretty well, as Ashley, Sidney, Will, and Mike stood on each other's shoulders to retrieve the running shoes hanging by Will's black belt.
The three bottom guys started to shake, though, and all three toppled. Will was left hanging onto one of the steel rods. "Sorry, dude!" the three called out. "Gotta get those." Will muttered, reaching out to untie the shoes.
"Got it!" he shouted. "Look out below!" he called and dropped the pair of shoes. Mike gratefully caught them. "Thanks, bro!"
Turning back, Will squinted at the dull black belt. Thrusting a hand out, the grabbed on to the belt, but lost his grip on the rod. He was left hanging from the belt, and he could feel his weight pulling the belt down, tightening the knot.
"You can do it, man!" Ashley called out. Sidney pulled out a Swiss Army Knife. "If you're so desperate, use this." He called, tossing the knife up. Will caught it in his free hand, and he began to saw at the belt.
After what seemed like the longest minute of his life, Will managed to free his belt, landing onto the concrete below.
"YEAH!" All four boys cheered, celebrating.
Chris's Mid-show Snippet #2
Okay, here's the lowdown on the teams' current statuses:
Our Chinatown girls have managed to get the iPod back, narrowly avoiding the mafia, thanks to Rose's mad Mandarin-speaking skills.
Madison and Jerry are here as well, after their unfortunate encounter with Captain Gates of the 12th.
The Brooklyn Boys are all here, and are safe, thanks to Will's bravery and willingness to cut his own black belt off.
Paige and Roy have arrived, as well, from their carousel repair. Hope the machine operator doesn't lay eyes on them again, hehe.
Lanie and Jenny have made it through, too. And surprisingly, without even a single scratch on the glasses. Shocker, I know.
Our remaining four groups are now facing horrendous party-crashing, getting drowned in the Hudson, again, and the horrors of looking for a mirror in a sea of mirrors. Let's check back.
Josh and Javier dug through the mirrors in the girls' bathroom, to no avail. They'd searched three floors already, but his mirror was nowhere to be found.
"Oh, man. At this rate, we'll be up for elimination." He sighed. "Come on, dude, let's go. Buy a new mirror, I'm not spending another minute looking for that."
"But dude, it's my favorite—" Javier dragged him out of the bathroom before Josh could say another word, and hopped into the elevator.
Josh: Okay, that Javier dude is really unfair. He's just lucky he didn't lose anything.
Javier: Can we just pause for a second and realize that we have spent hours looking for a freaking hand mirror?
Kevin climbed out onto the warehouse dock as Sophia pulled him—and her makeup kit—out of the water. She opened it, and a huge, multicolored blob fell out.
"Aaaaaahhhh! Nooooooo, what have you DONE? YOU GOOD-FOR-NOTHING-" she continued screaming as Kevin dragged her away from the dock, carrying the blob.
Carter and the twins weren't having much luck. After they'd explained the situation, they'd been thrown off the boat by the drunken partygoers. They tried sneaking, but again, they were spotted and kicked off.
"Great, what we gon' do now?" Carter said, distraught. "If I don't get those back, you guys might be eliminated." They both smiled and patted his hand. Right now, their friend was more important than distinguishing themselves.
"That's okay, Carter. If one of us gets the boot tomorrow, we'll be cheering for you back home."
Carter looked up from his glum gaze. "Really? Gosh, thanks. If I get kicked off, at least I made some new friends here." He smiled at the twins. "Now, let's go get us those items!" he said, standing up, only to find the boat slowly moving away from them.
"Hey, come on, dudes! There are quality hair equipment on your boat!" Carter shouted. The group in the boat looked back at them and laughed, tossing the curlers and iron into the river.
"I'm—I'm sorry." He said again. They smiled, saying it was alright, and walked him back to the dorm.
At the Waldorf, Rick and Kate were dressed up undercover at the ball. Luckily for them, Rick was famous and he used his celebrity status to get in. He was in a tux bought from the nearest Armani, and Kate was all dolled up in a red designer gown.
Rick was chatting up the people, and soon, he started to introduce Kate as his date.
"I'm not your date. I am your challenge partner. We have to go find that bat." She hissed as the evening's host stepped up to the stage.
"Welcome, everyone. Tonight, we'll be auctioning off some of the city's finest items, for the MBA. First up is a rare baseball bat, previously owned by none other than our celebrity guest writer, Richard!" Kate paused, her hand snatching his wrist. "That's my bat!" she whispered. He grinned, clearly enjoying the whole situation.
"In addition, the highest bidder will also get a charming evening in his company."
Rick's smile quickly melted. "Wait." Kate grinned, snapping a photo of his face with her phone.
"Come on, Kate, just bid. Whatever you pay—I'll pay you back." He muttered, begging her, as people quickly started to bid.
"Since it's ten-thirty, and I really want my bat back, fine." She raised a hand. "Ten thousand!" she called out with a grin.
"So, did you get it?" Madison asked her friend eagerly. The last two contestants, Kate and Rick, padded their way through the lobby, still in their evening wear, no bat in hand.
"Whoa, did you guys go out or something?" Javier doubled back at the sight of them.
"No, Javi, we went on an undercover operation that Rick here blew because he didn't have enough money on hand!" she said furiously, and the others smiled.
"Hey, how was I supposed to know you'd bid ten grand on me? I mean, jeez, Kate, I know you like me, but it's not like I can pull the money out of nowhere!"
Kate stumped to the elevator, saying, "Forget it, dude. We lost the challenge. And I wasn't bidding on you, I was bidding on the BAT!" the elevator doors closed.
Alexis: Hm, do I sense something interesting going on?
Chris turned to the others. "Well, that was dramatic. But hey, they don't call the show Total Drama Castle for nothing. That settles it, then. Javier, Josh, Carter, Martha, Alexis, Rick, and, uh, Kate, meet me back here tomorrow night for the elimination. The others can watch, but be careful who you bet for. This looks like a tough crowd." He disappeared into the hall.
"Welcome to the second elimination ceremony of the season. The challenge was to retrieve stolen items all over New York. Seven people were not able to complete this, so you guys are up for elimination.
"I have six pizza slices in this box. These represent the six teens who will move on in the competition. A slice of pizza means you're safe. For now."
He pulled a slice out of the box. "Kate."
Another. "Rick." Rick stood up, and joined Kate, smiling at her. She crossed her arms and stuck her chin up.
"Javier."
"Josh."
"Okay. It's down to the bottom three. All from the same team. Who's it gonna be? Martha?" he paused, taking a look at her.
"Alexis?" he looked at her, as well.
"Carter?" Carter glumly hung his head.
"The two contestants who are safe and will be moving on in the competition are…" he looked at the three, Alexis and Martha hugging, and Carter hanging his head.
He pointed his finger, and it lay on…
The twins.
They both sighed in relief, taking their pizzas, and were the first two who stepped up to hug Carter. "I'm sorry, man." The both said. The other teens went up, as well, and everyone got in a group hug.
Things like, "We'll miss ya, big guy." and "Good luck." began flying through the air as Chris pried the group apart. "Sidewalk of Shame, my man?" Alexis and Martha both walked him out, and were the last ones to wave at the retreating Cab of Losers. Chris turned to the others.
"Well, you're all safe. For now. Carter there was an example, showing us that every vote counts. We'll all miss him, but sadly, he had to go. Meet you all soon for the next challenge."
Rick: I'll miss the guy. He was nice.
Mike: He's a good person, and a good friend.
Alexis and Martha: Carter, if you or your friends and family are watching this right now, we miss you already! We'll try to win, buddy. For you. *smiles
In the Otter guys' floor, Sidney and Jerry were in Jerry's room, hatching a plan.
"We'll have to get rid of that girl, Kate!"
"I say Mike's more of a threat!"
Both stopped, suddenly realizing the perfect plan. "Well, why don't we kill two Hedgehogs with one stone…"

Credits Scene
After the elimination, Paige snuck up to the rooftop garden, spotting the lone harness and stake waiting for her. Giggling, she strapped herself on, ready to spend an entire night hanging off the edge.
The door opened, though, to reveal Kevin and Jenny tiptoeing to the garden. They stopped when they heard Paige's demented giggling.
"What was that?" Kevin whispered, but when they saw Paige's silhouette hanging from the stake, Jenny screamed.
Paige: *laughing hysterically
