"Last time on Total Drama: Action!" Chris announces as the camera fades in, "I lured our teams in with a false sense of security with the promise of some actually edible food; however, the food was actually laced with sedatives that put half of each team to sleep!" He explains as clips of the contestants getting knocked out and being carried by their teammates play. "During the challenge, MK got into a fight with Bowie about he and Raj's lack of help towards her with the rope wall, which led to Bowie snapping back and revealing he had seen what MK said about eliminating him in the last challenge: talk about cold."

"In the end, Nichelle won it for her team when Caleb almost got eaten by a shark: as she was able to wake up and show that her training between seasons actually paid off! With the Venomous Victors losing, MK manipulated Zee into voting for Raj by preying on his naivete, causing both her and Raj to tie in a 3-3 vote. Since we were running behind schedule with episode 3's non-elimination, I decided I would send MK and Raj both packing! But my genius plans were thwarted, as Axel pulled out the one and only immunity idol and played it on MK! Seems like a waste to me… but whatever, Bowie and Wayne aren't going to be too happy about Raj getting flown out of here!"

"Who will stab someone in the back this episode? Who will sacrifice themselves for the greater chaos? Found out right here, right now, on TOTAL. DRAMA: ACTION!"

The camera shows Axel in the female trailer for the Venomous Victors, as she starts her usual morning routine with jumping jacks; however, this morning is a little bit different.

Axel grunts and does several gymnastic backflips and somersaults around the cabin, before the camera pans over to reveal a shaking MK with large bags under her eyes.

MK in the confessional: "I couldn't catch a wink of sleep last night. My brain just can't comprehend the fact that Axel would waste her idol on ME of all people!"

Axel gets out her crossbow and shoots it across the trailer, with the arrow landing on a picture of Bowie hung up on the wall. MK turns to see this, "Woah, woah! It's not really that serious, Axel."

Axel puts her hand on her shoulder, "Don't worry MK, our alliance will be safe! I know you lost sleep last night cause you thought you'd be voted off but don't worry, Bowie won't get the upper hand over us!"

MK looks back at her, confused, "That's not really…"

"You don't have to prove anything, just get some rest." She responds calmly before running out of the cabin, "Body improvement! Fight. On! Fight. On!"

Axel in the confessional: "I could have used that immunity idol for myself later down the line, but it's not like I'd last long without MK anyways… She promised to look after me, just like…"

The camera swaps to the boys trailer for the Venomous Victors.

Bowie puts his fist down onto his palm as he stands in front of a sitting Zee, "We have GOT to get rid of MK, are we finally agreed on this?"

"Totally dude, she voted out my bro Raj!" Zee responds while looking down at the floor in sorrow.

"Then WHY did you vote him off?"

"MK told me that Chris was changing the vote so that whoever got the most votes would win a vacation!"

Bowie facepalms, "Okay… that's just sad."

Zee in the confessional: "I feel sooo bad for voting out Raj. He was my buddy, but he was Wayne's even bigger buddy! My extendo-neck can't save me this time…"

Wayne pipes up from his bunk, "Since when would Chris ever do something nice for us?" He asks in an offended tone before jumping down and pointing at Zee, "It's partially your fault that Raji is gone you know!"

Bowie gets between them, "Settle down, Wayne! It's MK's fault that we're stuck in this mess, not Zee's. Besides, if Axel is dead-set on helping out MK that much, it wouldn't matter what the vote was as long as she'd play the idol."

Wayne agrees as he sits down in sorrow, "So what are we gonna do?"

"Chris said there's only one immunity idol… so I have a plan."

Bowie in the confessional: "If MK and Axel are so set on staying together… looks like I'll just have to make sure we lose."

The camera swaps to the craft services tent, where Priya is once again having a depression moment. Damien sits down next to her, "Are you still feeling bad about Millie?"

"Yeah…" She admits as she turns to Damien, "I was up practically all night thinking about it. But it's not just about Millie, I've been thinking about my parents too after what you said in the killer-robot challenge…"

"Oh," Damien responds with realization, "What were you thinking about them?"

"I love my parents, they're my entire life! But I can't help but be a bit mad at them… After the first season, they congratulated me a lot… but soon after, all they talked about was how I should train even MORE for the next season to be the first time double winner and!..." She spits out, speaking faster and faster until she pauses, "I'm just… tired."

Damien stays silent for a second.

Damien in the confessional: "I have no idea what to do about Priya! I want to be supportive of her new revelations, because I do think her parents are being a bit harsh, but she seemed pretty ticked at Millie last season for suggesting they might be a bad influence…."

He leans over to her and consoles her, "I understand. It must be hard. Are they at least letting you go to med-school?"

"They said they would as long as I win at least 3 reality shows in the next few months…"

"Yikes!" Damien spits out, "Oh, uh, sorry…"

"No… you're totally right." Priya responds before giggling, "They're totally wacko right now."

Priya in the confessional: "I'm torn between two worlds here! I kind of want to rebel against my parents but… every time I think about them watching me on TV, I want to win again!"

Nichelle walks over and sits down with them, wearing nothing but a towel: "Hey girl and Damien!"

They both look at her with one eyebrow raised as Damien asks, "Why are you sitting with us?"

"Julia locked me out of the trailer bathroom because I was showering too loud… so here I am!"

"Yikes…" Priya responds as she pulls her slop bowl closer to take a bite, "Hey… if she's that mean to you, why not just join our alliance and vote her off?!"

"Naw, can't do that…" Nichelle replies as she looks at her nails, "Julia is FAMOUS-famous! I've got to get me some of that cred!"

Nichelle in the confessional: She looks at the camera seriously before crying, "I know some people may call me shallow…" She begins before throwing her hands in the air and exclaiming, "In that case, call me a puddle!"

"That is just really sad." Damien comments, "You should have more respect for yourself!"

Julia enters and sits with them, "Hey! Why are you butt-knuckles talking to my bestie?"

Damien replies monotonously, "We really don't want her. Please take her."

Julia in the confessional: "They can't steal her from me! I'M the one who's supposed to use her!"

Just then, Chris walks in wearing a traditional Korean men's hanbok, "Morning contestants… na-neun… i dojin I- no-mu… um…"

MK covers her ears, "Stop, stop, please stop!"

Chris continues, "Gi-Di bobe nida!"

Julia shivers in disgust, "Heh… cringe!"

Caleb comes over and sits with the rest of his team, "He probably just said something inappropriate in Chinese."

"It's Korean!" Priya snaps, "And I am SO gonna rock today's challenge! I love K-dramas!"

Priya in the confessional: "I will question my parent's authority!... Right after I ace this challenge!"

Chef pipes up from behind the counter, "Now that's just embarrassing… What are you even wearing?"

"It's a men's hanbok! I look amazing, I know."

MK barfs in her mouth a little bit.

"Today's challenge will be themed around K-dramas! Please follow me to today's movie set!"

The camera swaps to the challenge site, where the movie set is decorated with several old-styled Korean buildings, looking like something similar to Chonju. The contestants are standing in front of a stage, with curtains decorated with several native Korean flora.

Chris stands atop the stage, "Welcome to the first part of today's challenge! As you can see by my snazzy outfit today, the first part of the challenge will involve making a traditional Korean hanbok! You can choose to make a guy's or girl's hanbok, so don't be shy! All of the materials will be housed backstage, which you will use to make your traditional garb which will then be worn by one of your teammates, who will walk down this runway and be scored by our judges."

"Woah…" Zee replies, with soda in hand, "Is MK gonna do this for us?"

MK looks at him with suspicion, "Yeah, sure, make the Asian girl do it!"

"What?" Zee replies with confusion, "Oh, naw, I was just saying we should do you, cause you're the shortest. We won't have to use much fabric then!"

"Oh…" MK responds, a bit embarrassed, "Sounds like a good plan."

Bowie puts his hands in front of Zee and MK, pushing past them, "Step aside, I will bring us to victory!"

Bowie in the confessional: "Not a chance!"

"Alright fine, I didn't wanna do it anyway." MK groans as she rolls her eyes.

Chris responds to this commotion, "Alright, looks like the Venomous Victors have chosen their model!"

Axel leans to MK and whispers to her, "I don't think we should let Bowie do this: what if he throws the challenge?"

MK agrees, "Yeah, good idea." before raising her voice, "Uh, Chris, the team has decided that I'll go, actually!"

"Sorry MK, no switchies!" Chris snaps back at her as Bowie glares in her direction.

Priya raises her hand, "Chris, the team has decided that-AUGH!" She yells as Julia pushes her over.

"Hey?!" Damien shouts at her, "What's the idea, here?"

Julia doesn't respond to him, "Actually… Caleb and Nichelle have decided that I should be today's model! I mean, I do have actual modeling experience!"

Caleb leans toward Nichelle, "I don't remember agreeing to this…"

"Alright, now that we've picked our models, it's time to introduce today's classic Total Drama competitor!"

Priya gasps with excitement, "Oh, finally, another contestant!"

"I hope it's Heather!" Julia exclaims with vigor as Damien and Priya side-eye her, "What? She's my favorite!"

Just then, a very tall woman with dark brown hair in a long ponytail comes out. She walks towards Chris and begins speaking in a creepy tone, "Hey Chris… hehehe."

"I was not looking forward to bringing you back." Chris comments coldly, "But since she showed great enthusiasm for K-dramas, please welcome classic competitor: Sierra!"

Sierra flips her hair around, "I let my natural hair color show! Doesn't it look goooood?"

"Yeah…" Julia mocks as she rolls her eyes, "I'm sure Cody just loves it."

Sierra crosses her arms and looks pissed, "I didn't ask you, blonde Heather! But don't remind me of that traitor… mkay? I have a new love interest now!"

"And who would that be?" Chris asks with a mix of annoyance and confusion.

"Korean superstar boy band members from BCS!"

All of the competitors groan as Damien asks, "Is that like the Drama Brothers?"

Chris interrupts the confusion, "As much as it's fun to make fun of Sierra, we've got some judging to do! Which of course, our special guest Sierra will help with."

Sierra squeals in excitement and jumps up and down as Chef walks on stage, "You'll have an hour to try and put something together that looks something like traditional Korean clothing. Your efforts will be scored on the outfit as well as the runway walk, so make sure you put effort into both."

Julia in the confessional: "Looks like I'll have some fun facing off against Bowie!"

Bowie in the confessional: "If it's a slay-off Julia wants, it's a slay-off she'll get!" He growls before shaking his head, "No, Bowie! You've got to get your head in the game and lose this thing for your team! Huh… that's not usually a sentence a contestant would say."

The camera swaps to the Venomous Victors backstage, as MK swaps between different colored and textured fabrics, "Which of these should we use?"

"We should use that one!" Zee replies as he points at a ratty piece of pink fabric with several holes in it, "It's perfect."

She responds to his odd suggestion, "Um, not really sure the dirty one with holes in it is gonna be the winner."

"Naw dude, trust me. It'll give it a really cool rustic look, like we took a time machine into the past to get it!"

"Wooow, that's not a stupid idea at all!" MK mocks in a sarcastic and airy tone.

Axel pipes up, "No, Zee is right. It'll be an outfit fit for a survivor!"

"Ugh… fine." MK groans as she goes to retrieve the fabric.

Bowie wanders over to Zee and whispers to him, "Nice job picking the torn apart option so we can lose."

"Oh… I forgot about that plan haha." Zee replies before taking a sip, "I just thought the fabric was really cool!"

"Oh…"

Bowie in the confessional: "Zee is a nice guy and all, and I need his vote… but dealing with him gives me a migraine."

The camera swaps to Moo' off the Stage, where Julia is standing on a pedestal as Priya dresses her, "Ugh… Priya, you made this garb too long! Do you want me to trip and fall on my face?"

Priya growls back with surprising anger, "Maybe you should appreciate that I'm even dressing your stick body! Eat any tapeworms recently?!"

Everybody on the team gasps, including Julia, who then starts to fake-cry: "I cannot believe you would SAY THAT about me…"

Nichelle comes over and pats her on the back, "Priya, tapeworm related deaths are on the rise and you're out here making tapeworm targeted jokes?"

Damien groans and rolls his eyes as he comes to console Priya, "Whatever… can we just get this outfit finished already?"

Damien in the confessional: "We HAVE to win this challenge! If we don't, I have no doubt that the other 4 will vote out Priya, and she wants this so badly! I've got to help out as much as I can."

Chris appears on stage as he begins to announce in a dramatic voice, "Is everybody ready for the super-saiyan sassy and silly k-drama celebration?!"

The camera shows the contestants all just sitting in the audience looking bored as traditional Korean folk music plays. The camera then zooms into Lauren, as she is the only one clapping.

Lauren in the confessional: "I added just a tinsy little bit of extra accessories to Julia's hanbok when nobody was looking."

Sierra comes from behind the curtain and struts on stage, "Welcome everybody to my Korean themed fashion show! Both of our models will walk out on stage together to prove who is more fierce!"

Sierra walks off the stage to the judges table as Julia and Bowie both come out and begin walking the runway, both eyeing each other.

Julia steps directly in front of Bowie and begins posing.

"Hey! What do you think you're doing Julia?!" He cries as he walks past her.

"Do not interrupt my MOMENT!" Julia yells as she sticks her foot out to trip him. He falls down and Julia changes her angry face to a smiling face as she walks forward on the runway.

"Oh no you don't…" Bowie mutters from the floor as he grabs Julia's ankle.

"OUCH!"

Bowie in the confessional: "I know I had to throw the challenge… but tripping Julia was too good of an opportunity to pass up!"

"Sorry babe, guess you're not a real model afterall! Just a second rate influencer."

Julia turns around, "Take. It. BACK!" She commands with anger.

"...Uh oh." Bowie manages to get out before Julia tackles his ass and begins shredding his clothing.

Bowie leans up after Julia stops attacking him and sees his shredded clothing, "Oh no!" He yells exaggeratedly.

Julia then walks to the end of the runway and strikes a pose, before turning around to walk back.

"What is THAT?" Chef asks with concern from the judges table.

"Huh?" Julia questions as she looks at the back of her hanbok, "Ew, what is this?"

The camera reveals a decal painted on the back of her outfit of Damien being stabbed by Lauren.

Damien in the confessional: "Why is it always me?!"

"Oh my!" Sierra whines from the judges table, "That is not Dynasty accurate at all!"

Chris pipes up, "Hmm, very true. It's not really giving an ancient Korean vibe. However, she did kill the runway walk, and Bowie's outfit seems to be completely shredded… so I'd have to give the win to Julia!"

"Hmm, I guess so." Sierra agrees, "Blonde Heather wins!"

Moo'd off the Stage cheer as the Venomous Victors look defeated.

"Congratulations cows! For winning this first challenge, your team is rewarded with a jackhammer!"

"NOOOO!" They all scream except for Lauren.

"What?" She replies innocently.

Lauren in the confessional: "I can't help it! The jackhammer has been my favorite toy since I was a little baby."

Chris walks back onto the stage and explains, "You didn't think we'd let this huge lot go to waste, right? Every inch of this puppy is gonna be explored by you guys in order to find the secret underground code to unlock… this!" Chris exclaims as he motions to the tall narrow object that looks like a rustic phonebooth that Chef is wheeling in.

"This lot houses several areas all based on different Korean dynasties, with each area housing a different buried treasure chest that has a puzzle piece. Combine all four puzzle pieces together and you've got the code to the time machine to be able to travel back to the modern day!"

Priya pipes up, "This sounds more like a C-drama than a K-drama."

Chris shrugs, "Yeah, we got the two a bit mixed up during production."

Chef walks on stage next to Chris, "Something to keep in mind, kids, is that each team does NOT have their own separate puzzle pieces. Which means you'll really have to fight each other to gain access to the final code."

"Should be no problem." Julia snarks as she points at the Venomous Victors, "Do you see them? I think we'll be fine."

Bowie in the confessional: "Julia makes it really hard to want to throw a challenge."

Chris throws the jackhammer to the team, which Caleb grabs. Julia says to him, "Please keep this away from Scary Girl!"

Scary Girl frowns.

"If both teams are ready, then we can start the challenge!" Chris explains as he raises his air horn, "Ready, set, go!"

The teams then run off into the first area as Sierra stands eerily behind Chris. He turns to her, "Uh… you can leave now."

The camera shows both teams running into the first area, which is based on the Silla region and time period of Korean history. The ground is a mixture of dirt and thick red clay, with several stone chambers and tombs scattered around.

"There won't be anything right by the entrance," Axel comments to her team, "Let's go further into the territory."

She then runs off with the rest of her team following behind.

Julia turns to her team, "Alright, let's start dig- huh?" She then witnesses Lauren riding on the jackhammer to terrorize Damien as she giggles with glee.

"Ah, stop! Get her off of me! WE'RE ON THE SAME TEAM!" He cries as he runs around.

Julia just watches for a bit with satisfaction, "I didn't know they had theater shows back in this time!"

Priya looks worried, "Aren't we going to help him?"

"Ugh, fine…" Julia groans, "Scary! Give me the jackhammer! We're not going to find the puzzle piece like this!"

Lauren stops the jackhammer and whimpers as she hands it over to Julia, who then is relieved, "Thank you!"

Lauren in the confessional: "Nobody… ruins my jackhammer fun."

Caleb notices Lauren looking over at Julia with contempt, "Hey, I have an idea! How about Priya and Damien split up from the rest of us so we can cover more ground?"

Priya blushes, "Duh- I- Um…"

"That sounds great!" Damien exclaims as he grabs her hand, "Let's go!"

Priya in the confessional: She is seen not saying a word, but instead, hyperventilating into a paper bag.

As Damien and Priya walk off, Caleb says to Julia quietly, "You probably should have just let Lauren terrorize them, she looks pretty ticked at you."

Julia looks over Caleb's shoulder to see Lauren, who is breathing heavily and snapping branches that she finds on the ground. Caleb continues, "I let the other two go off on their own so we can make sure we stay on Lauren's good side."

"Hmm… alright." Julia agrees reluctantly, "Hey, where did the jackhammer go? I just had it!"

They are interrupted by Nichelle screaming in the background as Lauren chases her with the jackhammer.

"Better her than me!" Julia yells as she walks off before continuing, "C'mon guys!"

The camera swaps to the Venomous Victors in the same Silla region, but farther ahead than the cows. Axel licks her finger and then puts it in the air, "Wait!... I smell something."

Axel then puts her nose to the ground and begins sniffing around like a dog. Bowie hangs back from the rest of his team as MK questions Axel, "Uuuuh, what are you doing?"

"I can smell the puzzle piece, it's around here somewhere!"

MK then pulls a dog leash out of nowhere and puts it on Axel, "Sounds like a good strategy to me!"

"Woah…" Zee responds, "That is like, so inhumane."

In the background, Bowie notices something shimmering under one of the shrine's, "Huh? What's this?" He then picks it up and notices it's a puzzle piece with the number 7 on it, "Axel was right…" He whispers before smirking, "it was around here."

He slips it into his back pocket before calling out to his team, "Hey guys, I'm gonna go check back on the cows to make sure they haven't found the piece!"

Bowie in the confessional: "More like GIVE them the piece!"

The camera swaps to Julia, Caleb, Nichelle, and Lauren. Caleb is holding the jackhammer once again.

Nichelle pipes up, "Hey Caleb, I think I see something shimmering in the dirt here!"

Julia and Nichelle turn around to see an empty-handed Caleb as he says, "Okay, time to… wait, where'd it go?"

Caleb hears the sound of the jackhammer running before slowly turning his head to see the demented goth, once again trying to murder someone with the jackhammer.

"NOOO!" Caleb screams as she chases him, "How does she keep getting this?!"

"SCARY GIRL!" Julia yells at her, causing her to turn it off, "How many times do I have to tell you!? We're trying to WIN here!"

"Hmph…" Lauren pouts as she hands it over, "It was getting boring anyway."

Lauren in the confessional: "I'm trying to throw this challenge. Just for funsies!"

"Lalalala!" Lauren sings to herself as she skips away into the next area.

"Um… okay then." Julia lets out, "We can do this ourselves! Caleb, use the jackhammer!"

She hands it over to him and he asks, "How do I use this thing?" He then turns it on while it's standing upright without actually holding it, causing it to start skating around on its own.

Nichelle, Julia, and Caleb run around and scream in terror as the jackhammer chases them.

Nichelle in the confessional: "It's like Scary Girl never left at all."

The camera shows Lauren running into the next area, which is inspired by the Baekje kingdom. The area has several Pagodas decorating the area.

Lauren turns her eyes to where she came from, as she laughs in delight from hearing the rest of her teams screams.

"OUCH!" Bowie yells as the two run into each other, a puzzle piece falling from both of their hands, "What do you think you're doing? I'm trying to throw a challenge here!"

"Huh, me too!" Lauren replies as she brushes the dust off her dress and picks up her puzzle piece, "Here, have this!"

Bowie tosses both puzzle pieces back to her, "Nope, you enjoy those!"

"No, I insist."

The two's 'polite' argument ends when Lauren feels something breathing down her neck. She turns around to see an Ussuri brown bear, as it stands on its hind legs and growls at them.

"Stand still." Lauren says calmly to Bowie.

"Forget that! RUUUUUN!"

The two of them then run off as Lauren giggles at the sound of Bowie's screaming. Lauren puts her arm in front of Bowie and stops him, "Wait! What's that sound…?"

The jackhammer can be heard hammering away in the near distance, as it barrels toward the bear, causing it to run off and whimper.

"There she is!" Lauren exclaims as she jumps on the jackhammer as it rides off into the distance, "See you later Bowie!"

Bowie looks down and sees both puzzle pieces in his hand, "Ugh…"

The camera swaps to Damien and Priya, who are casually walking and talking in the third area, which is based on the Koryo dynasty. The area has several podiums with intricate ceramics on them.

"Isn't the Koryo dynasty so cool?" Damien asks Priya, hoping to cheer her up.

"Oh… yeah," She mopes about.

"Hey, what's wrong? A few minutes ago you were ready to win this challenge."

"I know but… the more and more I think about it, the more I realize: this isn't my dream, it's my parent's dream!"

"So, do you not wanna be in this competition anymore?" Damien asks in a gentle tone.

"I think so? But every time I want to quit, I just keep thinking about my parents… But, I can't give up! I won't!" Priya shouts as she begins digging around rapidly.

"Maybe you should…" Damien comments quietly as Priya calls out,

"Hey! I found something!' She tells him as she brings out the third puzzle piece.

Damien in the confessional: "The more I hear Priya talk about her parent's pressure, the more I feel backed into a corner. I want to help, but I'm not sure what to do…"

The Venomous Victors (minus Bowie) and Moo'd off the Stage (Minus Priya and Damien) arrive at the 4th and final area, which is architecturally inspired by the Choson dynasty, decorated with several small school buildings that have hangul letters written on the school's banners.

"Ugh, are you kidding me?" Julia gripes, "We're already at the final area? We haven't found a single puzzle piece!"

MK turns around and complains, "Uh, yeah, us too!"

Just then, Bowie comes running in, "Hey guys, I couldn't find any pieces AUGH-" He yells as he trips over Lauren's carefully placed foot.

Lauren giggles as Bowie falls, with both puzzle pieces falling out his pocket and onto the ground.

"No puzzle pieces, huh?" MK mocks with suspicion.

Priya and Damien come running in, "We got a piece!"

Julia snatches it from them as she commands, "Caleb, go get the other pieces!"

Caleb darts toward the two pieces that Bowie dropped as he lets out monotonously, "Oh no, Caleb, don't grab the puzzle…"

Axel and Wayne run to grab the pieces as well, but Caleb reaches them first and runs back to Julia.

"Hah!" Julia mocks them, "We so got this!"

Chris pipes up from near the "time machine," which is at the end of the final area: "I'm not sure what you're celebrating for, you still need the final piece!"

Nichelle responds, "Whatever, we'll just punch in every letter for the last one until we get it."

"Sorry Nichelle, but the time machine won't open up until the machine detects every puzzle piece connected together."

The two teams glare at each other before falling to the ground and digging around in dramatic fashion.

"Cows, where did the jackhammer go?" Chris questions before he hears the sound of it purring.

"There it is!" Lauren squeals in delight as the jackhammer comes out of nowhere and begins chasing Chris.

Chris in the confessional: "That's IT! We are NOT putting any more jackhammers in the challenges!"

Chef comes out and grabs the jackhammer, turning it off in the process as he just stares at Chris.

Chris brushes the dust off of his shirt, "Ahem... anyways teams, get to it! I buried this one really deep since I figured the others were too easy to find!"

"Let's get to work!" Julia calls out to her team as she rapidly digs, "Stay on guard so the Victors don't steal our pieces!"

Caleb crosses his arms and narrows his eyes in the direction of the other team. They take notice and turn around as MK speaks to her team, "What are we gonna do? They have all the pieces!"

Axel drops to the ground and drags MK around by the leash, "I got this! I can smell it nearby."

Wayne scratches the back of his neck, "This whole sniffing thing hasn't worked the entire challenge, not sure it's gonna now."

Zee also drops to the ground, dropping his soda on the ground "No, wait, I got a feeling about this!"

Bowie groans, "Oh please... we might as well just accept defeat!"

"No, this has got to be serious," Wayne replies, "Why else would Zee just waste his soda like that!?"

"Gotcha!" Zee exclaims as he begins digging with superhuman speed, "I've got it!"

Zee pulls out the final puzzle piece.

"WHAT?!" Julia screams from a ways away, "How are you always this lucky?"

Axel in the confessional: "Just to let everyone at home know: I knew exactly where the last piece was! I just let Zee get it to have his moment."

Zee replies while smiling, "I don't know, it's just like..." He is interrupted by the sound of Julia yelling as she charges at him.

"I WILL NOT LOSE TO YOU AGAIN!" She yells as she tackles him, grabbing the final puzzle piece from him while the other three fly out from her back pocket.

"Quick, let's grab them!" MK suggests to her team as her, Axel, and Wayne run after it.

"I've got it, I've got-" Axel exclaims as she grabs all four puzzle pieces, stealing the final one from Julia, before connecting them together. She then gets pushed over by Caleb.

"I'll be taking this!" He yells as he catches it in mid-air.

Axel kicks him in the face, causing him to launch the puzzle into the air from surprise.

Bowie runs and catches it, before throwing it back to the cows: "Oops!"

Nichelle catches it, "Wooohooo! I caught it, I actually caught it!"

Lauren walks over nonchalantly with a blank expression, grabs the fully formed puzzle from her, and throws it back at the Victors.

"NOOOOO!" Nichelle cries melodramatically as she falls to her knees.

Nichelle in the confessional: "I guess I'm not so much of an action star after all!" She cries into her hands before bracing herself, "And, scene! Wasn't that amazing?... Please hire me."

"I am on a team of absolute losers." Julia says quietly to herself in shock as she gets up.

Wayne grabs the puzzle piece from mid-air and begins sprinting, "HOOT HOOOOT!

Wayne in the confessional: "I guess I am a footballer after all!"

"Not on my watch!" Caleb calls out to Wayne as he runs after him, catching up.

"What do I do?! What do I do?!" Wayne asks himself in panic before noticing the jackhammer is closer to him than the time machine.

Wayne runs past the jackhammer and turns it on, sending it in the direction of Caleb.

"WHYYYYYY!?" Caleb screams in terror as he tries to escape the path of the rogue construction equipment.

Caleb in the confessional: "I will probably have jackhammer related nightmares for the rest of my life. Do you think I could sue this show and win if I get a good lawyer?"

Wayne gets to the time machine and punches in the number, "WOOOOHOOOO!"

The rest of his team (except Bowie) cheers as Julia creaks out, "Great... time to vote out a butt-knuckle!"

Lauren replies in an eerie tone, "Definitely."

Purple smoke comes out of the time machine as Sierra comes out, "Oh thank goodness you guys got here in time!" She then coughs several times, "Chris locked me in there after I asked if it was okay to take a tour of his bathroom... hehe."

"Uh, your hair, It's um," Wayne begins to mention, "Purple."

Sierra grabs around on her head and sees that it is indeed purple, "Chris! What the heck?! The purple-haired era of my life is over!"

Chris chuckles, "Sorry Sierra, just an after effect of the rad fumes I used in there! You should be thankful we gave you a dye job for free."

Sierra growls before the camera swaps to Bowie talking with Wayne and Zee in front of the trailers, "What the heck were you guys doing during the challenge!? We were supposed to throw it!"

"Oooh, is that what we were doing?" Wayne asks in confusion.

"Yes," Bowie groans as he eye-rolls, "We need to get MK out of here, ASAP!"

"Are we talking Rocky, or Ferg?" Zee interrogates before sipping his soda.

The camera swaps to Lauren with Priya and Damien behind the trailers. Priya looks nervous, "Uh, what'd you call us back here for? If you're going to murder us, just know we're on TV and-" she gets interrupted by Lauren.

"Nope. Nothing like that... for now."

"What does she mean, 'for now'?" Damien asks with concern.

"I am sick and tired of Julia!" Lauren replies as her eye twitches, "We need to get her out of here!"

"How do we know we can trust you?" Priya interrogates.

"You don't really. But the alternate outcome is not even tying in votes, so it's your choice."

Priya thinks for a moment, "Well, I guess it's the only chance I've got... I do need to become the first second time winner after all!" She exclaims before beginning to laugh like a maniac.

"Um... you good?" Damien asks as he puts his hand on her shoulder.

"Yes, I'm doing amazing actually! Now let's go vote off Julia!"

The camera swaps to Moo'd off the Stage walking as a group to the auditorium, with Julia and Priya eyeing each other with confidence as Damien looks worried and sad.

"Welcome to another gilded Chris ceremony!" The host greets in his powder blue suit, "As usual, before we vote, Chef has got some exposing to do!"

Chef walks up and points at Caleb, "Caleb! You could have won it for your team if you stopped Wayne, but instead, you got chased away by a jackhammer."

Caleb frowns as Chef moves on, "Nichelle and Scary Girl! Nichelle, you let your team member grab the puzzle piece from you and chuck it to the other team. And Scary Girl, you were the one who threw it!"

"I know!" Nichelle snaps back, "Let's not mention it again, this is supposed to be my redemption arc."

"Thank you Chef!" Chris cheers before announcing to the losers, "Moo'd off the Stage: go ahead and vote one of your own out."

The camera swaps to a few minutes later, where Damien sits down, being the last one to have voted.

"When I call your name, you are safe and may claim your gilden Chris statue... First player safe iiiis...

Nichelle!"

"Woooo!" Nichelle exclaims victoriously as she grabs her Chris statue, "And I caught it this time! UH, that's what I'm talkin' bout!"

"Also safe aaaare...
Damien, Caleb, and Lauren!

The three catch their gildred Chris statues and look relieved.

"Julia and Priya... you two have been feuding for quite some time since this season started. And it looks your feud will be settled here tonight."

Julia and Priya glare at each other from opposite sides of the bleachers as Chris continues, "The player going home today IS...

...

...

...

...

...

"Priya."

Julia catches her statue and kisses it, "Yas!"

"What?!' Priya yells in shock as she turns around to look at Lauren, "Again? Seriously?"

Lauren gets up and barks at Chris, "The jackhammer thief should be going home!"

"Um, excuse me?" Julia retorts.

Priya looks confused, "Wait... so Scary Girl didn't vote for me?"

"Of course not! We're friends, right?" Lauren asks creepily.

"Uh... sure. But who did then?"

Damien pipes up, "I... ended up voting for you. I couldn't sit there and watch you hurt yourself over and over for this competition you don't even want to be in!"

Priya begins tearing up as Damien apologizes, "Oh my gosh, I'm sorry! I didn't-" He is interrupted as Priya hugs him.

"Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU!" She thanks him a million times over before leaning back and kissing him.

"Aaaaw!" Caleb and Nichelle let out before Julia pipes up,

"Gross..."

"Alright Juliet," Chris mocks, "Times almost up! It's time to walk the red carpet of shame!"

The camera swaps to Damien walking Priya out to the carpet of shame with Chris, as Nichelle, Lauren, and Caleb follow behind to watch.

Priya turns to Damien as the sound of the helicopter can be heard in the background, "I may not have any steam left in the game, but you certainly do!" Priya tells him passionately before being dragged away by the helicopter, "Win it for MEEEEE!"

Damien waves, "I will! I promise!"

Nichelle blows her nose on Caleb's shirt, "That was beautiful!"

"You owe me a shirt."

Chris steps in front of the camera, "Looks like we formed a couple, just to watch it crumble! Just the way I like it!"

"Who will get together and break up in the same episode next time? Find out, on TOTAL. DRAMA: ACTION!"

Author's Note: OKAY IT'S OUT! A lot of plot-lines are coalescing here and reaching something big, so I hope ya'll are hyped for the next chapter and enjoyed this one! Were you shocked to see Priya last this long despite winning last season? I enjoyed writing her plot-line this season, because although I think she makes a decent winner, it kinda also proves her shitty parents "right" in a way, so I'd like to have her realize their shortcoming. I hope she gets to go to med school though! A special thank you to GeneralTrevor as well, I'm glad you like the writing style!
