haydentrieu5501 - Which other fanfic did Owen rejoin in?
Spectacular Webhead 11 - Owen would appreciate your support.
acosta perez jose ramiro - Thank you
acosta perez jose ramiro (ch. 17) - For the plot, it had to be done.
Guest (ch. 15) - We didn't want Codeather to take up too much time. Mal could've voted for Eva or Noah, but it wouldn't have mattered since Heather would've gotten the majority either way. Which specific contestant are you talking about?
Guest (ch. 16) - That is why Mal threw the dingo at Cody. That way, he won't be exposed. And Cody spending his time focusing on Heather only would make him one-note. Mal also knows about Team E-Scope, but he's leaving them alone unless they lose. Topher is really showing his potential when he's not focusing on Chris 24/7. Izzy and Ezekiel are smarter than they seem, and the villain has to be humiliated every now and then.
Guest (ch. 17) - Ella and Sadie are on rocky terms, but things will get better. Mal and Topher are already making plans on how to handle the alliance. A tiebreaker would've complicated things.
Guest (ch. 18) - Everything will work out in the end.
Jss2141 - You bet!
Team Power: Eva, Ezekiel, Mal, Noah
Team Blizzard: Izzy, Sadie, Topher
Episode 19: Niagara Brawls
"Last time, on Total Drama World Tour," Chris opened as the plane was shown spinning out on the Swedish ice. "The gang nearly turned into Swedish meatball pops!" he added over a shot of the cast shivering before the recap flashed ahead to Noah conversing with Eva and Ezekiel in economy class and Mal talking to Ezekiel. "But our competition heated way up as Noah put the burn on Mal by convincing them to vote him off if they lost."
"But Mal was too busy trying to keep Sadie blind," Chris added over a clip of Mal lying to Sadie while they shivered. "Steamy! This led to him drifting apart Sadie and Ella when Ella tried to warn her, and Ella flew from the competition." Ella was shown ending her friendship with Sadie and having the doves fly her away. "Sizzling!"
"Is there any low Mal won't stoop to?" Chris finished over a clip of Mal overhearing his team talking about him.
"We'll see," Chris said from the cockpit as the recap montage ended. "'Cause this time, I'm adding someone who's gonna kick things up to thermonuclear!" he declared excitedly, Chef rolling his eyes from the pilot's seat. "This show is so hot, it'd take about a bazillion gallons of water to cool us off. And we got 'em!" he added slyly. "Comin' up, on Total! Drama! World Tour!"
A flock of geese flew under the plane as the intro sequence ended.

The episode faded into a shot of the Total Drama plane in flight; the shot cut from there to a close-up of a piece of cheese. A hand snatched it from a mouse that had scurried on screen. The camera pulled back to reveal Ezekiel Clone eating the cheese before he ran off, and with a continuous snoring the shot quick-panned across the cargo hold where, oddly enough, most of the rest of the cast were sleeping. Eva, Ezekiel, Noah, Sadie, Izzy, and Topher were spread out over the cargo bay door with a pair of swan-shaped paddle boats, and a pair of interns soon dragged Mal over by his legs to join them.
The camera zoomed in on his snoring face, and a ripple effect transitioned the scene to his subconscious.
\
"I think Mal is getting weaker," Mike told Chester and Svetlana while they were moving to their next destination.
"So am I. I gotta sit down," Chester said.
"Sitting is for after victory!" Svetlana claimed.
"Who asked ya, comrade?" Chester complained, bugging Svetlana a bit.
The three soon stopped when they saw a theater stage. The curtains were light red, and there were two drama masks positioned over the stage. The first mask had a man smiling, and the second one consisted of a frown.
"What the heck?" Mike asked in confusion.
"Ay yo! Finally, an audience!" Vito's voice piped up, and the curtains slid away to reveal him sitting atop a rock since his leg was chained to it. A glass of water stood at his right and a Mal animatronic dummy sat on his lap.
"Yo, Dominic, I hear your dog has no nose. How does he smell?" Vito talked to the dummy. "Terrible!" A drum beat played as Vito waited for a reaction.
Chester was the only one chuckling. "Ah, genius! Give him a nickel!"
"Come on, Vito. DItch the dummy and join us!" Mike said and got on the stage. "We need you if we're gonna defeat Mal."
Vito was drinking his water, but when Dominic said "Defeat Mal? Not possible," Vito's eyes widened and he spat out the water.
"Wow. Vito's kid is hilarious," Chester said.
"I-I-I didn't say anything," Vito stammered.
"So who did?" Mike questioned.
"Me!" Dominic said. The four gasped at the dummy rising up to the sky and laughing. The background became inferno hot as he said "You'll never defeat me!"
The dummy floated over to Mike and laughed, but Mike grabbed him by his legs and hit him against the chain, breaking it and also the dummy in the process.
The dummy was left on the floor after its destruction. "Let's go!" Mike took charge.
"Whoa. Uh, yeah, sure, wait up!" Vito accepted the journey and got off his rock to join them.
\
The scene rippled back to the real world, and the camera pulled back from Mal's face. The troublemaker had woken up, realizing he was falling through the air along with the rest of the cast, and started screaming.
"WAKE UP!" he yelled, rousing those closest to him, Ezekiel, Sadie, and Noah, out of their slumber.
"Huh?" Sadie muttered as she came to her senses enough to look down, realize what was going on, and scream. The shot pulled out again to show all seven contestants awake and screaming and falling, along with the pair of swan boats.
"Hey kids!" Chris called out, the shot changing to show him looking down from the open cargo hold. "You better get into your paddle boats!"
Eva was confused before looking around in a panic and noticing the swan-shaped vessel. She quickly grabbed onto its neck, and the camera zoomed out to show Ezekiel and Topher grab onto its back. A pan to the right showed Izzy, Sadie, Noah, and Mal grabbing the other one, and moments later the boats splashed down into a river running through a hilly forest.
"Ooh," Chris winced from the plane.
The shot cut back down to the water, the boats now floating with the current to the right. The seven contestants, dazed and drenched, got back on their feet. "I'm starting to question my admiration for Chris just a little," Topher told the two he was sharing a boat with.
Eva gave him an odd look, as did Ezekiel before he looked back and adopted a look of panic. "Oh no," he said frantically while looking backward. "Wa...wa...water...!"
"We know we're in the water," Eva said in annoyance as Topher saw what Ezekiel had seen and gasped.
The camera cut to the large, roaring, and familiar-looking waterfall they were headed towards.
"It's a water-" Sadie cried as she and the other people in the second boat saw it.
"-fall!" Mal exclaimed as he turned around in his seat and started paddling. "Quick! Paddle!" he commanded.
"Hurry!" Ezekiel chimed in from the back of the first boat, Topher and Eva currently at the paddles.
"If you let us live," Eva prayed with a look above, "I'll let the weightlifters at my gym borrow my dumbbells!"
"If we live," Noah chimed in, "I'll tutor anyone, even if they're brain dead!"
"If we live, I promise to make things up with Ella!" Sadie added as she looked skyward.
Izzy's face shot up in surprise. It quickly faded into steely determination, and she dramatically stood up while declaring "Time to get a friendship back on track!"
Izzy jumped onto the other swan boat. She tied a rope around Eva's waist then threw her at the other boat. The bodybuilder managed to grab onto the swan's neck.
Izzy put the other end of the rope in her mouth then resumed her paddling. Several people screamed as the camera zoomed out to show the boats drifting dangerously close to the falls, until Izzy's paddling suddenly took effect and the lead boat took off, towing the other boat behind it.
The shot cut to a close-up of the river bank, the two boats shooting across the screen and crashing to the left out of sight. The camera panned across the landing site, the swan boats undamaged but the contestants panting in relief.
Izzy ran over to where Sadie was and helped her up. "Now that you have a second chance, you're able to talk to Ella next time you see her."
Sadie became nervous upon hearing that. "I didn't think we were actually going to make it there."
Confessional: Sadie
"Never underestimate the power of Izzy," Sadie said in the confessional. "But anyways, how am I supposed to talk to Ella again after our argument?"
Confessional Ends
"So, Niagara Falls is pretty awesome, eh?" Chris asked as the footage skipped forward to the furious cast walking along the beach with Chris coming up from the opposite direction.
"It almost killed us!" Noah countered.
"Like I said, awesome!" Chris replied. The camera cut to a close-up of the misty and rocky bottom of the falls, and the host continued. "The Falls is the jewel in Canada's crown," he explained as the shot panned up, "and, one of the top ten natural wonders in the world. It's also known for its fabulous casino," he added as the camera cut back to the beach, "which is where we'll be heading for the first part of the challenge."
The contestants smiled excitedly as their anger went away. "Are you being serious?" Sadie asked.
\
A rotating wipe transitioned the footage ahead, the contestants in the same position but now frowning. "Are you being serious?" Sadie repeated irately.
"Since you're all underage," Chris explained as the shot pulled back to show the cast assembled in what appeared to be the open space between a stage and its seating area, "we had to move the challenge from the gambling floor to the far less exciting casino concert hall." The camera zipped backward, revealing the various levels of seating and of course the stage itself.
"I wonder if anyone is performing?" Ezekiel asked.
"You're in luck, Ezekiel my man," Chris answered. "Last time on the Aftermath show, they had a 'Second Chance' challenge where one of the losers could score a spot back in the game. And we're about to enjoy a little number from the winner."
"Owen? Is it Owen?" Izzy said with an eager grin.
"Having him around wouldn't suck," Eva agreed stoically.
"I really hope it's Lindsay or Ella," Sadie begged.
"He's over 200 pounds of gassy in a 90 pound package," Chris announced dramatically, the camera panning across the confused faces of the contestants as they tried to figure out who would be joining them, "and he's wearing 0 pounds of coldness. Iiiiit's, Owen!" He finished his announcement with a dramatic motion up towards the stage.
"Yes!" Izzy cheered.
"Aww!" Sadie added.
"What?" Mal finished, joining the others in looking up at the stage above.
/\/\/\
[Electronic theme began to play as the camera panned upwards, the stage lights flashing on and off as a gigantic cake rose out layer by layer from the stage floor with a familiar blonde-haired boy standing proudly on a barrel at the very top.]
"O! W! E! N! That is how you spell my name! I am stoked to be back in! Now it's time to play the game!"
[Owen sung into his microphone, the area behind him rapidly sliding away to be replaced by a red carpet scene for the second phrase. He danced for the camera a few times, then the shot pulled back to show the red carpet scene through a television on a cart that Izzy was standing in front of with a wide grin.]
"C! O! O! L! Owen's back in the contest! Everybody ring a bell, because my head's unable to rest!"
[Izzy sang the next verse excitedly. As she sang, Owen could be seen turning around on the television screen and waving.]
"W! A! I! T! Isn't this against the rules?"
[Mal sang as an aside to Eva, the scene moving back to the casino concert hall.]
"N! O! P! E! That guy is a ratings jewel!"
[Chris answered, abruptly leaning towards the malevolent one and startling him.]
"O! W! E! N! That is how you spell my name! A plane went and crashed my brain! But it's good now! I'm the same!"
[He sang on the stage he was on, smiling broadly as the song ended.]
\/\/\/
"That song is going to get stuck in my head! So which one of these teams am I on?" Owen asked, the camera pulling back from the stage to show the host and other contestants still standing below.
"You're on your own," Chris replied. "Because as of right now, there are no more teams!"
Ezekiel and Mal shared an excited cry of "Yes!" as Eva and Noah smirked.
"It's about time we're on our own," Topher told his former teammates. "Making it to this point is crucial if I want to be well known."
"This is my first time merging in a season," Sadie chirped in.
"Yeah, but you've been in a season before us while we first competed in this season," Izzy said.
"Regardless, we all did it!" Sadie cheered.
A sudden shoving sound got Topher, Izzy, and Sadie's attention, gasping as they saw what was being pushed out on-stage: a giant slot machine bearing the faces of Owen, Mal, Noah, Topher, and Ezekiel on its reels. It was being pushed by Chef, who was wearing his usual glittery pink evening gown.
"Since we are in the honeymoon capital of the world," Chris explained as the camera pulled back, showing the full cast and emphasizing just how big the slot machine was, "I thought it'd be cool to drop some arranged marriages on you!" he said, laughing with glee.
Sadie was briefly shown batting her eyelids at Ezekiel, much to his slight confusion, but he smiled back at her.
"Check it!" Chris continued, the shot cutting back to the machine as Chef walked over to its lever. "Slots o' fun for me, not so fun for you." Chef grinned at the camera, then pulled the lever and caused the reels to spin. "Each girl pulls the lever to win a husband she'll team up with for today's challenge," the host explained as his assistant motioned to the reels, the camera zooming in as one-by-one they landed on Ezekiel and the lights around the display started dinging and flashing. "Cha-ching!"
Confessional: Ezekiel
"I know we're not at the age to do so, but I've dreamed of getting married to Sadie one day..." Ezekiel said dreamily.
Confessional Ends
The footage skipped ahead to a close-up of a trapdoor on top of the giant slot machine as Chef tried to force the lid down on the five boys who were stuck in there together and quite vocal about their discomfort. Chef managed to stuff them down soon enough.
"Uh, there are five boys and three girls," Eva pointed out.
"What's going to happen to the two that aren't picked?" Sadie asked.
"Trust me," Chris told the future 'wives' with a smile. "Everything's already planned out. Let the games begin!" he announced, the shot cutting to the end of the line where the wild child stood. "Izzy, you're up!"
Izzy stepped forward to the arm of the machine with a crazed look in her eyes. "I gotta win me a big, round boy!" She cracked her knuckles and pulled.
The reels started spinning, and with plenty of dings one by one they landed on...Ezekiel.
"That's not Owen," Izzy grumbled, "I don't want Ezekiel!" She walked forward to the open chute at the bottom of the machine, and slammed its door shut just as Ezekiel could be seen and heard sliding down.
Naturally, the home-schooled guy slammed right into the tightly-closed door with a metallic clang. "Can you help me out? I'm stuck, eh!" Ezekiel asked from within the machine.
"Izzy!" Chris announced happily. "You've won-"
"I'm not going to marry Zeke!" Izzy told him, walking over and grabbing him by the shirt. "He belongs to someone else."
"Izzy is definitely right about that," Sadie said quickly, the shot cutting to show her already at the reopened shoot with Ezekiel in her arms. "I'll take Ezekiel. He's thoughtful and endearing, and I like that in a boy!" She spoke happily, already leading him away before the others could respond.
"Ezekiel and Sadie have been hitting it off, even if they were on different teams before," Izzy said as she dropped Chris.
"Whatever," Eva shrugged as Sadie and Ezekiel walked by, both of them looking happy.
Confessional: Eva
"Am I supposed to care about who gets engaged and who falls in love? Answer: no!" Eva shouted. "I want to get married to a million dollars and give birth to my own personal gym. Moral? Forget boys and/or girls and focus on the prize."
Confessional Ends
Izzy was preparing to pull the arm again when Chef suddenly grabbed her from behind.
"Whoa whoa there, Bridezilla," Chris told her sternly. "Back of the line for you." Chef was shown dragging Izzy back across the stage past Eva. "Eva, you're next."
The female bully stepped forward. "Whoever it is better not be annoying!" Eva declared and pulled on the knob.
With plenty of dings, the reels spun and landed one by one on...Topher.
The Chris wannabe hollered as he tumbled out of the chute and landed on his chin.
Eva sighed in annoyance as she walked over. "Oh. It's you," she said. "I could've gotten Noah."
Topher got off the floor and brushed himself off. "Well luckily, you've got me! Topher!" He whipped his hair and looked at Eva confidently.
Eva rolled her eyes at him. "If we're going to win, we will not focus on dresses or food," she directly told him. "Our only goal here is to reach the finish line. Got it?"
Confessional: Topher
"With that attitude, I won't be surprised if she's never been invited to weddings," Topher stated.
Confessional Ends
"I only have Mal, Noah, and Owen," Izzy said as she walked forward to take her second turn. "It better not be Mal." She finished her thought on a bittersweet note, then pulled the lever.
The reels spun and dinged and landed one by one on...Mal.
"Seriously!" Izzy said, scowling at the sound of Mal sliding down the chute.
He landed on its rear and took one look at Izzy. "I'm with you?" Mal said as he tried to go up the chute. "Owen, Noah, one of you can take my place!"
"I wish I had one of them to begin with," Izzy complained.
"Izzy and Mike, you two are going to be together!" Chris objected. "End of discussion!"
Mal and Izzy glared at each other before walking off.
"Has Izzy finally found the man of her dreams?" Chris asked the camera as it cut to show him standing at the far end of the slot machine. "Will anyone get into an accident at the falls? Find out after this!"
\
(Commercial Break)
\
The episode faded back into a shot of an upset Izzy standing next to a giddy Sadie and a blunt Eva. "So since Owen and Noah weren't paired up with someone, are they not going to participate in the challenge?" Sadie wondered.
"I was going to do that, but because Owen's back and Noah accidentally kissed Cody's ear back in the first season, I've decided to pair both of them up for this challenge!" Chris announced.
"And you're not going to be homophobic about the two boys being together?" Eva raised an eyebrow.
"Like it's my problem two guys or two gals get married," Chris said before Noah and Owen slid out of the chute.
Noah looked at the pairings and realized that he and Owen were left out. "Are you saying that-"
"We get to be a married couple!" Owen beamed and hugged Noah silly.
Noah was being squished and was unable to talk normally. "Just for the challenge, not for reality!" he squeaked out.
Confessional: Owen
"I get to work with one of my best friends for my first challenge back? Awesome!" Owen cheered loudly. "I would've preferred to be married to Izzy, but my husband/wife could've been worse."
Confessional: Noah
"Just to be clear. I am not interested in guys. Some kids in my school teased me for the ear kiss thing, so they automatically think I'm gay," Noah said.
"Hopefully they'll realize that this is just a pretend wedding challenge and I'm not actually getting married to Owen."
Confessionals End
The footage skipped ahead to a shot of four wedding dresses lined up on stands at one end of a lavender carpet. The one closest to the camera was the largest and more of a halter top and wide pleated skirt combo; the second dress was strapless, sleeveless, and its sides curved out into a long tail; the third also had a long tail, but the sides were straighter and the top had straps and a v-shaped neckline; the furthest back was the second biggest, with short poofy sleeves and an almost royal design.
"Because a good marriage is based on trust," Chris said as the camera began to rapidly pan leftwards across an obstacle course including sand boxes, machines with long nozzles, large wedding cakes, and turtle-shaped kiddy pools filled with either water or something brown, "and the ability to argue louder than your spouse," the host continued as the shot reached him and the four 'wives' who were now standing blindfolded at the base of some Greek columns: Izzy, then Eva, then Noah, then Sadie; with their matching 'husbands' standing on top under heart-shaped brass sculptures, "each groom will use a megaphone to guide his blindfolded bride safely to her gown."
The camera focused on Sadie as she smiled and clapped.
"Only couples with a dress can continue," Chris added. "Go!"
"We are on the same team," Izzy warned, looking back toward her 'husband.' "Do not mess with me!"
"What's so funny about you misstepping?" Mal told her. "Now walk three paces and go left!"
Izzy did as she was told. The camera quickly and briefly panned to the turtle pool full of water a few inches in front of her. Following the instructions, she went left, but tripped on the pool and fell face-first.
Mal stifled a laugh as Izzy was soaking wet from the brown water. "I think you meant to say right!"
Confessional: Mal
"I need immunity now that the teams are gone and most of the contestants are catching up to me," Mal told the confessional. "Will that stop me from sticking it to Izzy? Definitely not!"
Confessional Ends
"Eva, go a little to your right," Topher called out to his 'wife'.
"I am going right," Eva replied as she moved forward.
"You're going too far!" Topher said. "Now go back left!"
Eva did as she was told, and managed to reach out and grab onto the v-necked dress. "Yes! We won!" Topher cheered.
"It is good you made us come first," Eva said with a smirk as she removed her blindfold.
\
"Ezekiel? Could you speak a little louder?" Sadie asked, currently walking through the sand boxes.
"You're doing great!" Ezekiel smiled. "Keep going forward!"
\
"I've had my fun," Mal called out to his 'wife.' "Now left."
"Like I'm going to end up getting soaked," Izzy huffed, doing the opposite and ending up in a kiddie pool with the brown substance.
"I'm going to see if I can get my dad to order a pool of pulling," Owen said to himself.
"I think you should focus!" Noah reminded him as he walked.
"Oh, sorry, Noah!" Owen got back on track. "Go that way!"
"This way?" Noah replied right before he plowed headfirst into a wedding cake.
"Sorry! The other "that way"!" Owen called out to Noah as the latter flailed his legs about.
"First the alien goop, and now this?" Noah grumbled as he finally extracted himself.
"It's okay. It's just cake," Owen comforted the schemer.
"Cake?" Noah looked back. "I thought it was something disgusting!"
"The cake looks so tasty," Owen said.
Noah flung some cake from his forehead and decided to taste the little bit that was left on his finger. He moaned in delight. "This…this is the best cake I've ever tasted!" he whispered to himself. "It's a vanilla-flavored paradise!" he exclaimed after another taste. "With a hint of lemon."
Confessional: Noah
The confessional consisted of nothing more than Noah shoveling wedding cake into his mouth off a plate.
Confessional Ends
"Would you listen to me?" Mal glared at his 'wife', who was now heading through the obstacle course with her arms stretched out.
"As soon as I can tell you're not trying to trick me!" Izzy replied.
Mal groaned and palmed his face. "That was just a one time thing. I'm being serious right now."
Izzy stopped in her tracks. "I'll trust you, but so help me if I fall into a pool of pudding."
Mal humph'd before looking back at the obstacle course. "Two paces to the left, and then five straight ahead."
The camera cut straight ahead to Izzy bumping into her dress, then smiling and removing her blindfold. "Hey, I'm here!" she said excitedly. "Thanks for not making me kill you!"
Confessional: Izzy
"Owen being back brings back memories of the plane incident. I just need to get Mal to admit to it," Izzy confessed.
Confessional Ends
The footage cut back to Eva, Noah, and Eva all lined up in front of Chris with their dresses. "Time to move on to the next challenge," the host announced as the camera cut to Sadie still trying to navigate the course. "Too bad, Sadie, but-"
"Hold on!" Sadie said to the host before charging forward. She tramped through pools and nicked the edge of the second cake, but was soon able to tackle her dress. "Got it!" she declared happily, rolling into a sitting position and holding up her dress. "Zeke, I got the dress!"
Confessional: Sadie
"I didn't want to miss out on the second half of the challenge, and it's been inspiring me to tell Ezekiel how I feel about him," Sadie said.
Confessional Ends
The scene cut to a shot of the edge of the Falls. "I like to call this next challenge," Chris explained as the camera zoomed out to reveal a pair of wooden platforms and bridges built across the waterfall, linked to each other by nothing but a tightrope; on the right were Chris, the four couples, and a Canadian flag, while on the left was a small shack and an American flag; "'Till Death Do You Part'!"
The shot cut in to a close-up of the cast, showing all four 'wives' in their dresses with Topher and Eva closest to the tightrope, then Mal and Izzy, Owen and Noah, and Ezekiel and Sadie in back with Chris.
"I still don't get why I have to be the bride," Noah said with a look downward at the roaring pool of water below.
"I'd like to be the bride, but the dresses won't fit me," Owen said.
"We escaped falling down Niagara Falls just so you could make us walk over it? On a tightrope?" Ezekiel asked Chris.
"Even better," Chris told him. "Each groom has to carry his bride across the gorge," he explained. "And then, you've gotta successfully clear customs!" he added as the shot cut to Chef in the shack on the far side of the rope, dressed in a blue security guard's uniform. "First pair to do so wins invincibility, and a pimped out wedding reception in first class. Eva and Topher won the challenge, so," the shot cut to the two, "I'm giving them a head start."
"Ready, Mrs. Topher?" Topher asked, holding out his hand.
"Only if you are, Mr. Eva," Eva snarked back.
"I nearly forgot!" Chris interjected. "Because the falls weren't quite unpleasant enough, we stocked them with hungry, hungry, sharks," he revealed.
The shot cut down to a small fishing boat sailing at the bottom of the falls. It was crewed by three sharks: one at the bow with a bib and a smaller fish on a harpoon gun, one on top of the cabin with a chef's hat and frying pan, and the third at the stern with a black bow tie and a large fish scoop skimming the water.
"Sharks?" Sadie muttered.
"No, no! I'm like a buffet to them!" Owen panicked.
"Even so, they won't be able to eat you whole," Noah deadpanned.
The close-up panned over to Topher as he leaned to the side to whisper at Mal. "Hey, I was thinking we gun for Noah. He's not only smart, but he's also sneaky."
"Can't we go for someone more annoying?" Mal replied under his breath.
"Look at him. He's merged twice in a row, and would've done so in Season 1 if it wasn't for the others," Topher explained. "Next time, we can vote off who you want gone."
"We'll get the brainiac today. Only because I want to weaken Team E-Scope," Mal agreed as Topher went back to Eva.
"Let's take advantage of our head start," Topher told Eva before carrying her bridal-style and walking along the tightrope.
Confessional: Eva
"I won't admit this to anybody, but I'm starting to feel comfortable with weddings," Eva smiled. "Having someone carry you and wearing a dress isn't that bad anymore…if I have to do those things to compete."
Confessional Ends
"And remember," Chris told the couple as they started their walk, "violence is never the answer. Except on this show," he corrected as the camera cut in for a close-up. "Go!"
Sadie immediately grabbed Ezekiel and put him over her shoulder. "Sadie, what are you doing?" Ezekiel asked.
"I'm carrying you, silly," Sadie said.
"But I'm capable of doing that as well," Ezekiel replied.
"I have more meat in my bones, and I can get us across faster!" Sadie told her 'husband,' and before Ezekiel could say anything else, she started her run on the tightrope.
Confessional: Ezekiel
"How can anybody else be as nice and sweet as Sadie," Ezekiel smiled in the confessional. "Even though I resisted, she's willing to carry me just so I wouldn't."
Confessional Ends
The footage skipped ahead to show Ezekiel and Sadie a fair way across the rope. "Us being together is great and all, but we can't forget about the game," Ezekiel said as the camera zoomed in closer to the pair.
"What are you talking about? We are still competing," Sadie said.
"Yeah, but we also need to think about the votes," Ezekiel replied, "and who we want off."
"We can do that stuff after we win," Sadie told him. "This honeymoon won't last forever!"
"You know this is all pretend, right?" Ezekiel said in a serious tone.
"I do, but I just want to act out our future together," Sadie sighed dreamily.
"Keep running first and then we can talk," Ezekiel finished their conversation.
\
The scene flashed to Noah and Owen, who had also started their walk. Owen had opted to carry Noah bridal style, and this didn't make the 'bride' any happier.
"I'm going to get spurs if you keep progressing like that," Noah complained as Owen inched along. "They're getting away!"
"I'm doing the best I can!" Owen said. "I am trying not to fall off."
"I don't want to criticize you, so I want to know something," Noah said back. "What are the exact details the day you fell off the plane?"
"So you already know that I was taken away to be experimented on by the army," Owen told him. "What you don't know is that Mal made me fall off the plane."
"Mal? Who's Mal?" Noah got confused.
"He's the evil side of Mike, and he's done a lot more damage than getting me medically evacuated," Owen explained. "He's the reason Lindsay didn't reach the finish line with us in the Yukon by pushing her into the pole."
"So this is why Mike hasn't been his usual self," Noah put the pieces together. "He's lost control and this Mal guy is usurping him. What a slippery eel."
"We're going to have to tell Eva about this too," Owen added. "Izzy already knows about him to begin with."
\
The scene cut back to Eva being carried in Topher's arms.
"So about the vote…" Topher started to say.
"I'm going to stop you there. I'm not voting off Izzy and Noah, and I'm starting to tolerate Owen more," Eva cut Topher off.
"I'm not even worried about Owen. He, Ezekiel, Mike, and Sadie are weak compared to us. And Izzy's unpredictable enough as it is," Topher said.
"I told you I'm not turning my back against my team!" Eva leaned into the dirty blond's face intimidatingly.
Topher leaned back, and was starting to lose his balance. "Be careful!" Eventually, he couldn't hold on anymore, and both he and Eva fell off the rope and into the waters of the Falls.
Confessional: Topher
"You would think I fell on purpose given how strategic I am, but the truth is, I couldn't keep my balance any longer on that tightrope," Topher honestly said. "It cost me immunity, but I can convince the others to eliminate Noah."
Confessional Ends
Sadie and Ezekiel finally reached the guard station at the other end of the tightrope.
"Business or pleasure?" Chef asked the two.
"Uhh, pleasure?" Sadie answered.
"'Kay then. Few questions first," Chef continued, adjusting his glasses as he held up a notecard. "What is Canada's capital?"
"That would be Ottowa," Ezekiel answered quickly.
"What leaf is on Canada's flag?" Chef asked next.
"A maple leaf," Sadie answered.
Chef then looked back at his card. "What is the type and name of the ship on the Canadian dime?"
"I have different kinds of pennies, but I don't know this type," Ezekiel told Chef.
"Same for me," Sadie admitted.
"Failure to answer a question correctly means you're deported. Go back," Cher told them.
The two looked down sadly, then turned and stepped back onto the rope. The camera zoomed in on Owen's feet as he inched along for a few seconds, then stopped when Sadie's shoes stepped into view.
"Move it, lovebirds," Noah said as the camera zoomed back out. "We want to get past."
"Chef's making us go back because we botched a question," Sadie added. "You move past."
"You want us to go all the way back to the start because you two failed a question?" Noah asked dryly. "That's not our problem."
"Um, Noah, would you like to calm down? Maybe we can find you some more cake," Owen tried to ease the tension.
"Later," Noah refused. "We have to win first."
"Sadie, why don't we just back up so they can get through?" Ezekiel asked.
"Because they could be first to answer all the questions and win," Sadie told her crush.
"Which is true because I never get any questions wrong!" Noah said. "Now get out of our way so we can pass through." He reached out and grabbed Sadie's leg, trying to throw her and Ezekiel off the rope.
"Oh no you don't!" Sadie sniffed and kicked Owen's leg, making him shout painfully.
The pain in his leg caused Owen to lose his balance and fall, Ezekiel and Sadie being taken with him and Noah screaming all the way down.
Seconds later, Mal was shown carrying Izzy on her back while walking down the rope. They heard the screams, but they were too irritated with each other to care.

The scene flashed ahead to a montage of close-up shots of Izzy and Mal answering Chef's questions.
"Ottawa," Izzy answered.
"The maple leaf," Mal said next.
"The Schooner Bluenose," Izzy said.
"Butter tarts!" Mal answered.
"Beavers," the two answered together, earning a surprised look from Chef.
"Wow," he said, "you got 'em all right. Anything to declare?"
"Yes. I declare my husband to be a jerk who prefers humiliating and mocking me rather than showing me respect like all good husbands do," Izzy said.
"Same to you as well," Mal said in his normal voice now that the rest of the contestants weren't around.
Mal walked forward onto the platform and threw Izzy off his back, and the crazy girl glared at him as Chris walked up clapping. "Congrats, you guys!" he said. "You'll be traveling together in first class, and, you've both won invincibility. Which means you can't vote for each other. A sick twist."
"I want a divorce," Izzy said plainly.
"Good! I don't want to stay married to someone as sweet and sick as you," Mal replied.
An anguished cry of "Help us!" from Sadie, and a follow-up cry of "Go Owen!" from Topher took the attention of the host, winning pair, and cameras to the bottom of the waterfall. The teens who had been knocked off were now being taken to shore by a swimming Owen from the fishing boat manned by the trio of sharks.

The plane was back in flight once more and soaring over the clouds.
Confessional: Ezekiel
"I think it's finally time to talk to Sadie about my feelings for her," Ezekiel said. "I know we won't be targeted today, but I don't want to leave without telling her how much she means to me."
Confessional: Sadie
Sadie was shown folding up an original heart. "Love is in the air today, but I have to confess to Ezekiel today." She placed the heart in her pocket. "My mom always told me YOLO; You Only Live Once! If I can go on every roller coaster ride and bungee jump off the highest cliffs, then what is stopping me from talking to Ezekiel?"
Confessionals End
The static cut to Ezekiel walking towards the restroom until Sadie opened the door and saw him. "Hi Ezekiel."
"Hi Sadie," Ezekiel greeted back. "There's something I need to tell you."
"I also need to say this as well," Sadie said.
"What is it?" Ezekiel raised an eyebrow.
"I like you. Not just as a friend. But more than that," Sadie admitted.
"Wow. I was totally gonna say the same thing," Ezekiel said happily.
"Ever since we were looking for that briefcase, you've caught my eye," Sadie smiled. "Even though you were obnoxious, and can still be on occasion, you bettered yourself for us and I've admired that."
"I really admired you too," Ezekiel complimented back. "You're always so fun to be around and you're able to put your mind to things I never would have. I'm also really glad you accepted my willingness to be better."
"You're right about us still competing, but after the game is over, do you want to go on our first date?" Sadie wondered, and she was answered with Ezekiel kissing her. She was surprised, but she returned the feeling.
Suddenly, they found themselves being interrupted by Topher clearing his throat, to which they stopped kissing and looked at him.
"May I offer my congratulations to the new couple," Topher clapped.
"Hey Topher. What's going on?" Sadie smiled back.
"I was just wondering if you two could help me vote off a certain schemer tonight," Topher explained. "It won't be a hassle."

The scene moved to the elimination ceremony, the eight contestants already seated as Chris started talking.
"Interesting," Chris murmured. "Really! Huh, who'da thought. Wwwow, haha." The camera finally reached him, revealing that he was looking over the night's passport votes.
"Read them already!" Mal said impatiently.
"Okay okay, hold on to your shirt," Chris said. "One vote for Mike, which doesn't count since he's immune."
Mal fumed in his seat, making Owen look away and whistle as ignorant as he could.
"Three votes for Topher," Chris continued.
"This can't be happening," Topher said in panic.
"And four votes...for...," Chris said slowly. Noah was shown waiting, Ezekiel and Sadie were looking concerned, Eva was staring intensely, and Topher was smirking. "Noah!"
"Me?" Noah said in shock. He looked around at the others, and Mal in particular was taking in his emotion gleefully.
"Noah, the gang has spoken," Chris said, tossing a parachute pack to the schemer.
"They sure did," Noah said as he started walking forward.
Owen walked with him to the elimination door. "And I was so happy to be reunited with my little buddy! Sorry for not voting for Topher."
"I'll miss being with you on the plane as well," Noah patted Owen's shoulder and looked back at Izzy and Eva, both of them feeling sad. "Same to you two. And to be fair, we should've talked to you about the vote so a tiebreaker would occur."
"I promise to win for you and E-Scope, and it was fun being your husband," Owen admitted.
"Being the bride to you is going to be a one-time thing, but I enjoyed it a little bit. Keep an eye out for you-know-who for me," Noah said his last words and jumped off the plane.
"If you think that was harsh," Chris said as the scene cut to him in the cockpit, the usual capstone theme beginning, "just wait until you see what happens next time, right here on Total! Drama! World Tour!"

Noah was shown to be plummeting. "Okay, I guess I should've seen that coming! Clearly, Topher was threatened by my superior mental agility. I'd be flattered if I wasn't hurdling towards the earth in a parachute!" he said. "At least I'm finally free of the game!"
The camera zoomed out to show him landing on a Niagara Fall river. "Okay, that wasn't so bad," Noah said in relief before he found himself starting to get pushed by the water. He tried swimming back, but the river was too strong and the scene zoomed out to reveal that Noah was going down a waterfall hollering.
Author's Note: Yeah in all honesty, I definitely wanted Noah to leave in Cody's place but given the payoff he got this episode, I think it was worth keeping him around for two more episodes. At least now I have addressed the concerns of Team E-Scope being too overpowered now that one of them is gone.
