Once again we are back in the Loud House in Royal Woods with the Loud family guests; "I am really hoping that the meanie MK gets eliminated this time!" Leni was saying determined with a glare and her arms folded; cleary still unhappy about Dawn's eliminationand LIly was in full agreement.
"You do know Leni that for that to happen; Lincoln's team has to lose this challenge right?" Lynn Jr brought up but Leni's stance didn't change.
"Be worth it if she goes..." Lily stated with Leni nodding along with her words and got the grandparents nodding as well while Lynn Jr just rolled her eyes.
"I am just hoping beyond hope that we get a break this time and Lincoln doesn't have to face some death defying stunt..." Rita sighed sounding like she was barely holding out hope for it.
"Well if Lincoln survives; there is next episode for our break since it's the 2nd Aftermath... Read it on the news section of the website." Ronnie Anne brought up and it made them feel much better.
"Wonder what the so called Drama Brothers will bring forth this time..." mused Lori as they were now silent as the episode was starting.
"Last time on Total Drama Island... Disaster movie challenge time and on my little obstacle course; Lincoln got himself hurt and girlfriend Dawn felt guilty about not holding on but on the plus side for him; he gets to sport an eyepatch which landed him many fans online. MK deciding to take the chance to sabotage Courtney's alliance; got into Dawn's head while Lincoln was allowed to sit out the 2nd challenge for recovery. It backfired as they ended up losing their best chance to get out of the submarine being filled with water. Lincoln showed some brass in threatening the staff but Bridgette saved the day by finding the hatch that got the water out! Still got a job! Anyway Dawn volunteered herself for elimination and thinking about what had happened; Courtney became suspicious? Turmoil in the Killer Grips? Who else is going home this time? Could it suit my hair better if I get it dyed? Find out on... Total... Drama... Action!"
They sighed at the episode recap this time.
The opening is shown.
Once again the contestants were at their tables (except for DJ) at the food tent for breakfast as Ezekiel went up to Lincoln; "Lincoln bro... Yo; sorry about Dawn being eliminated yesterday though. But on the bright side; you got a slick eyepatch... Say; do you think that Bridgette would be impressed if I wore a patch?" Ezekiel told him looking sympathetic but then his eyes brightened up at his idea with Lincoln looking amused.
"I don't think that he would be much better with his vision impaired..." Lynn Jr brought up and Luan had a laugh thinking of that possibility.
"Still our Linky looks handsome in the eyepatch!" Leni smiled and they thought that it did look cool on him.
"Yep... I can tell from experience that Lincoln definitely got more fangirls after last episode; can even show you the fan forums..." Ronnie Anne said finding it amusing.
"Well he would be all set if they end up doing a pirate movie challenge..." joked Luan and they laughed at that.
"Thanks Zeke and I don't really know... She might or she might not..." Lincoln answered as he then sighed at the reminder of Dawn. "But it is going to sting to have not Dawn here for the duration of my time on the season; if only she didn't ruin the code for you all..." Lincoln said looking to his teammates as DJ went to join them but then Courtney looked accusingly at MK.
They sighed and then glared at MK.
"Funny you should bring that up Lincoln as I was thinking; what set Dawn off was what MK was whispering... What exactly did you say to her and why?" Courtney then asked as their eyes widened as MK looked innocent.
"Go Courtney!" several cheered out hoping that she could get successful in confronting MK; even Ronnie Anne who was never the CIT's biggest fan (especially not after Sid's elimination); was on her side this time.
"...I was just seeing how she was doing with her boyfriend getting himself hurt and she was looking guilty; is that okay?" MK then answered as Courtney then hardened into a glare.
"Wait... Courtney; are you suggesting that MK set it up on purpose?" Brady asked as their eyes widened as Courtney's glare didn't change.
"Is this just going to turn into everyone not believing Courtney's suspicions like what happened with Dawn and Lindsay again..." Lori asked as they all groaned.
"Please don't be... It was so frustrating all that time dealing with that episode after episode..." Sam pleaded.
"Just have to be hopeful everyone..." Lynn Sr sighed.
"Come on... You are saying that I sabotaged our team; why? So we should lose and need I remind you that we almost drowned to death... What would I have to gain by sabotaging her?" MK retorted as Courtney got closer.
"Come on Courtney; she has a good point..." Lincoln tried to calm Courtney down but she shook her head.
"Come on Lincoln..." groaned Lana this time as they shook their heads.
"She still has a point unfortunately... Still she did almost get them killed by accident so she clearly didn't foresee that..." Lola said.
"I have an IQ higher than everyone here combined times a hundred and I could hardly foresee what Chris pulls on the contestants." Lisa stated as she shook her head and they had to admit; how could anyone predict how far the challenges would go.
"Well she did sabotage an advantage that they had and didn't try and get the paper after Dawn dropped it." Lynn Jr thought of and they nodded.
"I don't know why but I am sure that she is up to something..." Courtney accused but MK shook her head.
"Please can we not Courtney; especially this morning..." pleaded DJ as they looked at him. "Sorry but... It's just that I am having trouble trying to find a photo of me and my mama that I brought with me..." DJ then answered as Brady then frowned.
"Now that you mention it... I seemed to have misplaced this perfume that my Beth had gifted to me..." Brady brought up as Lincoln then looked puzzled as well.
"I have a few comics missing; including my favourite Ace Savvy..." Lincoln then brought in and at the Gaffers' table.
"My switchblade got missing a few days ago yo just like last season..." Ezekiel then put in with his two cents and looked to Zoey who shook her head.
"Plus my favourite hair dye last night..." Gwen then said as MK took the chance to hide a small smirk.
"Wait a thief among them or has Chris stolen their personal items to put them in danger..." Albert asked and they thought that either possibility was just as likely.
"Stealthy during the night and a whole bunch of junk to auction off when I get home; extra money along with the million dollars!" MK laughed in the confessional.
Their jaws dropped and they became somehow more furious at this; "How could the staff of the show let her get away with it?" Rita demanded looking to Lisa.
"Was a clause against stealing 'for keeps' from other contestants but I do not know how she planned to hide it from the staff. Especially after bragging about it on the confessional." Lisa answered the non-verbal question.
"Just her TRY that if I was in Lincoln's place..." Lori said darkly in a tone that scared her husband and her sisters nodded with her words.
The contestants were now at the set where there was Chris in sunglasses and a military helmet with Chef dressed like a drill instructor. "Welcome to war movie challenge campers or should I say soldiers!" Chris then explained as they then groaned.
"This is it; we are both going to get killed by heart attacks during this episode... Aren't we..." Albert asked Myrtle; taking his wife's hand while Rita was screaming into her hands and everyone else were just speechless.
"For once could it be like a political drama; will give me experience for getting into law school..." Courtney groaned as Chef then made a face at the contestants to get them to straighten up.
"No way Chris would be able to make that genre dangerous..." Sam said as others scoffed.
"Sorry Sam luv but I don't doubt that Chris would find a way..." Luna answered with a sigh.
"Move it privates and fall in!" Chris then said as they had to salute.
"This would have been the perfect challenge for me to become commando again but I don't feel the motivation right now..." Zoey sighed in the confessional.
"I miss Commando Zoey; I have to admit..." Ronnie Anne said smiling at how cool she was even if she scared those she had befriended.
"Only experience in anything related to war would be food fights or trying a prank war against Luan... Does online games count?" Lincoln asked in the confessional.
"Lincoln is toast... Isn't he?" Lynn Jr asked to sighs and a big screen from the Loud mother with the other adults trying to calm her down.
"I don't know why she would but I know that MK was up to something and intentionally set Dawn off... She is done for when I can prove it... Finding evidence will help with my future career..." Courtney swore in the confessional.
"Curse you MK for making me root for Courtney..." Ronnie Anne snapped with her arms folded.
Chris had the teams remove blindfolds in a plane as he showed them a box filled with parachutes; "For a war movie; the most dangerous stunt when filming it is jumping out of a plane... So naturally it's our first challenge!" Chris said opening up the door and they all gasped out loud.
"Dad; I think that this episode is going to kill me before it does you..." cried Rita as they were terrified.
"Come on Lisa; not even this could be covered in the contract..." Lori pleaded with LIsa and was ready to scream as Lisa refused to face her eldest sister.
"The saying 'the inmates are running the asylum'; who is willing to bet that the producers in charge of this show are escaped asylum inmates?" Leni asked and they blinked and looked towards her. "What? One of my co-workers used the phrase once..." Leni then explained.
"You can't be serious Chris... You expect us teenagers to jump out of a plane..." Gwen demanded as Chris laughed causing her to sigh and cross her arms. "Why did I even ask..." the sighed as Chris then pushed the box of parachutes out the door to gasps.
"Are we sure that Chris himself isn't an escaped asylum inmate?" Luna asked as now her mother was practically screaming into a pillow.
"How exactly is Lincoln alive?" Ronnie Anne screamed out loud and there were some ready to close their eyes soon.
"Sorry but this is a World War 1 movie and there were no parachutes back then!" laughed Chris as DJ started screaming.
Most of the contestants were stunned but Ezekiel got up looking brave and ran to the door; "No way Zeke... I don't think that pushing our luck without a plan is a good idea..." Lincoln said trying to grab at his foot as Ezekiel was being pulled out with Bridgette going to grab Ezekiel's other foot with Gwen and Courtney rushing to grab onto Lincoln.
"LINCOLN!" they all screamed out terrified and some were cursing Ezekiel for this.
"My partner dying is so not what I need right now..." Courtney muttered as Brady and DJ went to grab Courtney and soon Zoey and MK were holding onto them. Then they were all pulled out...
No one even bothered to comment on Courtney's comment.
They were now in a huddle on a mat in the studio as it was all a set with Chef manning a giant fan. "Anyone else hate Chris yet..." Gwen groaned as they were all getting up.
They took deep breaths after that; "Almost let out I think..." Albert muttered as he and Myrtle were checking their heart beats.
"Should have realised that something was up since last episode... Didnt' Chris not let Lincoln compete or risk serious injury for potential lawsuits and how he saw it was concerning when the water was getting high for the submarine so they could die..." Bobby brought up and they wished that they remembered that to think that something should have been up.
"I have never hated anyone I have met before but... I am almost there..." Bridgette groaned.
"Chris is now Lindsay levels of hatred for me..." Lori said as they all nodded.
"I think I would happily go on a week long hike with no one to keep me company other than Chandler back home..." Lincoln groaned but blinked but shook his head. "You know what... I said what I said and I am not taking it back! You hear me Chandler? Nothing you could do will make me even consider taking that back!" Lincoln then yelled at the camera.
The Loud family blinked at this; "Chandler?" asked the grandparents, Bobby and Sam confused.
"Bully in his class... Believe me; this coming from Lincoln says a lot..." Ronnie Anne explained.
"Just wonder how Lincoln's friends are taking him saying that... If they have even unpaused the TV yet and are still recovering from the plane thing... I can imagine Clyde being freaked out by this part..." Lynn Jr then said.
"I am guessing that Chandler is some bully or rival that Lincoln has back home... Not since Lindsay have I seen Lincoln this angry..." DJ said in the confessional.
They all thought that DJ really said it all.
At the camp the Screaming Gaffers were in their position next to a pile of paint bombs; "I have divided the camp into two halves; most creative and controlled splatter with these paint bombs wins!" Chris explained.
"A war scenario with paint bombs... I am having April Fools day nightmares again..." groaned Lynn Sr and some of the family members as Luan snickered.
"Spread them out and we should be okay..." DJ was saying looking nervous as the Grips were spreading out their paint bombs into small holes and covering them up. They went back together with them giving each other's thumbs up but MK looked down and put her foot down in front of Courtney causing her to trip right onto the detonator...
They all glared at Courtney; "She is trying to intentionally get Courtney to make a scene so that their teammates will vote her off..." snapped Lori realising what she is up to.
"Kind of dangerous to considering what they were doing..." Rita shook her head along with others; even Luan thought that this was careless as she always tried to be careful when setting up her pranks so they don't backfire on her.
Chris was overseeing the Gaffers circle of paint bombs with Zoey and Ezekiel giving eachother high fives as they helped lead them to set them up and covering them. They then put on the detonator setting them up as Chris nodded saying "considering the Grips accidentally set their's off; this was more controlled so point goes to you!" The Gaffers then cheered.
They shook their heads.
"Gaffers' this is the Chest of Mind-Blowing Secrets and for you to win then you must defend it from the Grips! You win then not only is immunity yours' but you get to peek inside this Chest with something that will blow your minds with the information inside!" Chris then told the Gaffers with Ezekiel sighing as they were at a big fancy chest.
"Knowing Chris and most of the rewards; it will probably be whatever shampoo he uses..." Lola shook her head and no one really thought that the Chest would be filled with anything good.
"Is the meaning of life inside?" Ezekiel asked as Gwen rolled her eyes.
"Once again everyone; this will be repeated for as many times as it needs to be but... This buffoon won the last season..." Lola brought up as they shook their heads at Ezekiel.
"Is the secret of why Chris isn't locked away in a criminal asylum for the good of humanity inside?" Gwen then sarcastically asked.
They bursted into laughter; "Similar to what I said..." Luna managed to stop laughing to say.
"Lincoln is so lucky to have you Gwen..." laughed Ronnie Anne.
"The vice versa is true as well Ronnie Anne!" Myrtle brought up with many nodding.
"Come on Ezekiel; we can set up traps together..." Zoey then said taking Ezekiel's hand and dragging him away with a smile.
"So we just hang back and protect the chest?" Bridgette asked and Gwen nodding. "Is there any fort that we could use?" Bridgette then asked Chris.
"Sammy was supposed to build one but she was bellyaching about having to try the jumping out of the plane challenge and she accidentally set off paint bombs close to eachother and we ended up having to relent and have her done for the day just so that she would just shut up..." Chris explained as Bridgette frowned.
"If you ever feel like you have the worst job ever... You could be working with Chris as your boss..." Lori said as they glared at Chris.
"To think that after all this... She still found this job preferable to dealing with her sister..." Sam brought up again.
"Sammy definitely needs a friend after all she went through interning here; I want to take the next chance that I have to tell her that she will have me if she wants..." Bridgette said in the confessional.
They smiled at this; "Sorry Ronnie Anne but while Sid is good... Bridgette has to be my favourite newcomer this season!" Leni said with others nodding along with her especially Sam.
The grips were trying to be stealthy going up through the camp but Courtney and MK were arguing; "It was an accident and you should just admit that you should just watch where you step..." MK told an angry Courtney as Brady, DJ and Lincoln were trying to get Courtney to drop it.
They gulped and held their breaths.
"I know that you did it on purpose; you are up to something like you were yesterday..." Courtney accused as DJ and Brady frowned.
"Come on Courtney; don't risk being eliminated if we lose..." Lincoln pleaded with Courtney.
"yeah Courtney; just some bad coincidences" DJ then pleaded.
"Well Courtney should watch her anger and attitude or else she would have people that actually like her back home..." MK then told her as Courtney was open mouthed as things became tense. "I have seen message boards and posts from people at your school... They can't stand you; apparently you speak a big game of being faithful, dependable and with integrity but they think that you're just annoying and are only wanting to vote for you for school president just because they don't want to hear you complain if you lose..." Mk then said as Courtney yelled and was about to rant but ended up tripping into MK with them falling into a ditch trap along with the other 3 members of the Grips.
They were just silent after MK's big speech but then it ended with them; "Well... You lasted this long in the competition Courtney and now there is no Chris head to save you..." Lynn Jr then said as there were now groans.
Both teams were gathered together as the Grips besides Lincoln were glaring at Courtney; "Screaming Gaffers wins and gets to open the Chest of Mind Blowing Secrets!" Chris said as the Gaffers cheered and went to open it up to find...
It absolutely empty...
"Worst rewards yet... At least the online store coupons were something..." Lana said as they were not too surprised by this.
"What else could we expect..." Gwen shook her head as Chris smirked.
"One more thing Gaffers; be there for the Award Ceremony as I have an announcement after the Grips vote someone out..." Chris said as the Grips stared at Courtney who walked off fuming.
A lot of blinking and Lisa spoke up saying "isn't it obvious?" Lisa then nodded the looks she was getting and said "allow me to elaborate... There will be only 8 contestants left after Courtney is eliminated and last season when there were down to 8... Plus Zoey who was out lost on the island but still technically in the game but that's neither here nor there... The teams were disbanded and then it became every contestant for themselves..."
"So after this episode; the merger and now no more teams..." Lynn Jr said as they thought that things could be picking up more now.
Lincoln went to catch up to her; "Sorry about that Courtney but... Some people can be put off by you and I admit that there were a bit too much coincidences" Lincoln said as Courtney straightened up and grabbed his wrist and walked off...
"Does she have a plan to turn this around?" Sam asked as they were blinking.
"Well she would be smart to try anything when she has everything to lose in the game at this point." Lori replied.
"Courtney is out and her alliance is done and this time no Chris head to save her... I succeeded where Sid failed... Lincoln will be no problem..." MK bragged pleased with herself in the confessional.
Glares at MK.
"What are we doing Courtney; do you want everyone to actually fully hate you?" Lincoln asked as Courtney was searching at MK's drawer while she had Lincoln search her bed.
Some thought that this was pretty weak and kind of immoral for Courtney to be sneaking through her stuff and dragging Lincoln into this; "Wait... You think they could find where MK hid the stolen stuff?" Leni asked remembering from the beginning of the episode and they blinked with hope in their hearts...
"My last chance to prove that she is up to something..." Courtney then said as Lincoln looked under the bed and found a sack...
"Come on please..." Ronnie Anne pleaded.
The Award Ceremony opening was shown with the contestants seated down besides Courtney and Lincoln. "I sure hope Courtney is taking her future elimination well..." Zoey muttered with Bridgette nodding.
"You think Courtney wants to be the 3rd girlfriend for my bro Gwen?" Ezekiel asked Gwen as she shook her head.
Amused chuckles at this but they shook their heads.
"I trust him to handle herself with her..." Gwen said as Courtney came in smirking with Lincoln holding his comics and the sack scowling.
They blinked and were now grinning; "Come on... This has to be the end for her now..." Leni said.
"I found my comics everyone... It was in here..." Lincoln said emptying the sack and they all went to take a closer look with MK panicking.
"My photo!" DJ cried taking it.
"There better not have been any hair dye missing since I last used it..." Gwen swore taking her hair dye bottles.
"My switchblade; no one is ever stealing you again!" Ezekiel cheered getting it.
"My perfume..." Brady said as MK then took a step back.
"Why were you 2 searching under my bed..." MK yelled but covered her mouth when she caught her words and got looks.
"B-U-S-T-E-D... Put them all together and what do you have?" cheered Ronnie Anne as were excited.
"Practically admitted it..." Rita then said.
"How did you know we found it there?" Lincoln asked as MK mentally berated herself as eyes were on her.
"You stole our stuff... My favourite surfing book!" Bridgette glared at MK as she saw her book in the sack.
"So... Did you really do that stuff against Courtney on purpose and set Dawn up..." Brady asked eyes widened as DJ groaned.
They were cheering at Courtney turning this around.
"Courtney... Again; I am so sorry... For doubting you..." DJ pleaded but Courtney still with her smirk laughed.
"Apologies accepted from you all and water under the bridge..." Courtney said as she turned to Lincoln. "Thanks for helping Lincoln and you think you are going to trust your partner from now on?" Courtney asked as Lincoln thought it over and smiled as he gave a thumbs up.
"Hopefully she doesn't take advantage of that trust..." Albert said and there were frowns at this.
"Come on Pop-Pop; don't spoil the good mood..." Luna said even if she knew that he had a point.
"Better keep an eye on those two; I trust Lincoln but..." Gwen muttered as Chris coughed while on the stage.
"Let's see what she does next..." Ronnie Anne said thinking she should keep a close eye on Lincoln's 'partner' now.
"If the Grips could please cast their votes..." Chris asked as the Grips then got their devices and casted their votes. "Please hand out the Gilded Chrises; Sammy..." Chris said as Sammy went out and gave the Chrises to all but MK. MK had her head down as she walked to the Walk of Shame with Courtney giving her a sarcastic 'bye-bye' wave.
Big smirks at this.
"Okay teams... I can't really call you that anymore as 8 is left so... Boys to the right trailer and girls to the left... Welcome to the merger where it's every contestant for themselves!" Chris then announced as they all took this in.
"Well that was a rollercoaster and not really a fun one." Ronnie Anne said.
"MK was dealt with before she could do more manipulating..." smirked Lori.
"But Courtney could grow more competitive after she dodged this bullet and with Lincoln helping her..." Lucy then said.
"Well we have time before we see since next is the Aftermath show..." Lynn Sr said bringing up the special next episode and they wondered what would happen there. Then there was a text alert from Ronnie Anne's phone and she answered it.
"Clyde called... Said he got a message and said that there's a big surprise for the Aftermath episode on the next TDA... He said that he and the rest of his and Lincoln's friends group are excited... Wonder why..." Ronnie Anne explained and they thought about it.
"Could be something big but how could Clyde have found out about it?" asked Lana but they shrugged and decided to just prepare for what should be an easier episode next time.
