"Last time on Total Drama Ultimate, Heather woke up after a dream about marrying DJ! She woke up Bridgette, and Bridgette had a couple of questions! But instead of going to Heather about it, she went straight to DJ and asked if Heather has ever hurt him! DJ grew angry and he yelled at Bridgette to get out! We also saw something up with Jazelle! Written in her notes, she was planning on asking Lightning out! For the challenge, the contestants had to compete in an eight round greasy and sticky relay race! But since the Running Roosters only had seven, Courtney had to run twice! After seven brutal runs, it was down to the last 3 runners! Zoey, Courtney, and Gwen! Courtney slid into first after talking among her and Gwen, to get Gwen to throw the challenge! Zoey overheard the conversation and gave some advice to Gwen, to try and be careful with trusting Courtney. Pointing out that it was odd that instead of winning with Gwen, she'd instead want to beat her! This resulted in a little bit of tension between the former frenemies. But during the challenge, Sky took some time to make some apologies. First she apologized to Dawn and Sammy and then after the Catfish lost the challenge, she took some time to apologize to Courtney and Scott! All four of them forgave Sky and Sky was ready for elimination. Before the ceremony though, Jazelle and Lightning had a little talk on the beach. Resulting in a new relationship being born! At the ceremony, Sky was booted with a unanimous vote and was ready to face the judgemental AfterMath! Now we're set at 22 campers, just like the original season! Which two friends will start ghosting each other and what will creep out in the dark tonight? Find out right here… right now… on TOTAL DRAMA ULTIMATE!"
Theme Song (Chapter 10)
It was getting late, around 9pm at night and the contestants were enjoying the meal that DJ had prepared for them in the Main Lodge.
"I don't know the last time I ate a rotisserie chicken." Jazelle laughed as she looked over to Lightning.
Lightning gasped. "Seriously? Oh, are you a steak person?"
"I'm not a meat person." Jazelle laughed. "I went vegetarian in third grade I think."
"Would you like me to prepare you something else?" DJ asked as he grabbed Jazelle's plate.
"Um, I'll take a salad or something." Jazelle shrugged.
"Leave that plate there, please." Lightning said. "I'll eat it."
"Well, that means that we're going on a run tomorrow!" Jazelle exclaimed. "You'll have to burn a lot of calories if you want your precious protein."
"That's fine with me." Lightning said as he finished his plate and took Jazelle's from DJ's hands.
"Well, I have a couple of veggie burgers in the freezer if you'd like one of those?" DJ offered.
Jazelle nodded. "I guess I'll take one of those, then. Thank you."
DJ smiled and went back into the kitchen.
"You know what, we really need to get to know each other better," Lightning said, taking her hand in his.
"Is that so?" Jazelle smirked.
"Why don't you meet me at the dock tonight?" Lightning suggested.
Jazelle nodded. "I'm down to hang out, but how about you just meet me on the porch tonight?"
"Okay." Lightning nodded.
"Can you guys get a room?" Blaineley asked.
"Sorry that our positivity is upsetting you." Jazelle retorted. "Not all of us can be miserable 60 year olds."
Zoey laughed. "You don't have to crash everyone else's party, Blaineley. Just because your life is almost over, doesn't mean other people can't live a little."
"Ouch," Cody chuckled.
Blaineley rolled her eyes and stood up from the table, "Okay, well I know when I'm not wanted."
"Sit down," Lightning said. "We're a team and this isn't a good time to be against each other."
"That's a good point, Lightning," Harold began. "The Roosters and the Catfish have opened up new chapters in their teams. Sky and Jo aren't weighing them down anymore on both teams. There's little to no conflict on that team, so that means they're going to be bringing their A games."
"So what's the plan for tonight?" Sierra asked.
"Tonight we should try to get to know each other better. Once we do that, we can get tighter and stronger as a team." Harold stated.
Blaineley Confessional:
"Well I know something for sure, and that's the fact that both Jazelle and Lightning need to get out as soon as possible! They're too strong for their own goods, and since they're becoming really close, they're going to become the next power couple! Which is exactly why I teamed up with Cody and Sierra in the first place."
"Then let's sit down tonight and get to talking!" Blaineley suggested. "We could meet up in the girl's cabin and maybe play some get-to-know-you games."
"Sounds like a plan." Jazelle nodded as DJ brought out her veggie burger.
"Here you go. Chef DJ's veggie burger topped with the freshest lettuce, tomatoes, and pickles from my little garden. Mama watches over the garden and ships the best fruits and veggies here. All of that in between two whole wheat buns."
Jazelle took the plate and gave him a quick and friendly kiss on the cheek. "Thank you, it looks delicious."
Lightning glared at her as Jazelle looked over to him.
"Don't get all jealous on me now," Jazelle snapped. "He's just a teddy bear."
"I thought I was your teddy." Lightning chuckled.
"Easy there, champ. I haven't even begun eating yet." Jazelle laughed.
"Maybe Blaineley was right." Devin said. "You guys do need a room."
Jazelle and Lightning rolled their eyes as the rest of the team laughed together.
"They look like they're having a good time over there." Courtney noted as she watched the Giggling Goats from the Rooster's table.
"Good for them, I guess?" Mike said.
"At least they're happy," Carrie shrugged.
"You want them to be a good team?" Courtney asked.
Carrie laughed. "Okay, for one, I'm loving this alpha-female thing you have going on, or whatever. And for two, they're humans first. Didn't know it was criminal for others to be happy. I'll keep it noted."
Sammy and Dawn glanced over to Courtney and then back each other.
"I- Look, I didn't mean any harm from that." Courtney insisted. "I'm just saying that they are getting closer and that's bad for us."
"How?" Scott asked.
"They're going to become stronger! So we have to beat them to it."
"Beat them to what?" Mike asked. "Actually liking each other?"
"Okay, why am I feeling a negative energy from you, Mike?" Courtney questioned.
"Mike has a simple grudge against you from something early on in the game." Dawn stated. "He's not a mean person nor one filled with attitude, but if you apologize to him for what you did, all will be well."
"Well that's absurd!" Courtney exclaimed. "If he has a problem with me, why not man up and tell me?"
"Didn't you want to get past all of the drama and become closer as a team? Like just now?" Sammy asked.
Courtney sighed. "What is making you upset with me, Mike? And… how can I make it better between us?"
"I'm still upset with how you tried to control my relationship with Zoey in the beginning of the season and I just need to hear your honest apology. I know they probably don't come easy to you." Mike responded.
"Okay, well I'm sorry Mike for trying to get in the way of you and Zoey and I'm sorry for the manning up comment a little bit before the apology." Courtney apologized.
"Thank you, Courtney." Mike said softening up.
"See?" Carrie asked. "Great progress already!"
"Okay, any other tensions between anybody?" Scott asked. "Just so we can get to a quick clean slate."
Everyone shook their heads no.
"Perfect!" Dawn exclaimed. "We can start a better team, but…" she stood up with her glass, as did everyone else. "... cheers to our new era!"
Everyone clinked glasses and sat back down.
"Well, way to make it low key." Carrie laughed.
Sammy smirked and wrapped her arm around Dawn. "It was a nice gesture. But now we hopefully start winning more challenges."
"We can only hope." Mike joked.
The Crying Catfish sat with the team and were just sharing stories. They were already very close when Sky was on their team, and with Sky being eliminated, they were even closer!
Heather laughed as Gwen finished a story about her catching her little brother practicing how to kiss in the mirror.
"I gotta head to the bathroom," Heather said as she got up from the table. "If DJ comes by, please ask him to grab me strawberry soda for me."
Jasmine nodded. "Will do."
Bridgette got up from the table too. "I've had a little too much water, I think I'm going to tag along with you."
Heather sighed. "Great, let's go then."
Bridgette and Heather got up and walked to the bathroom as DJ came and stopped them.
"What's up, DJ?" Bridgette asked.
"Didn't expect you two to be talking." DJ noted.
"We're just walking side by side to the bathroom." Heather answered.
"Well someone blew it up earlier, so it's closed until someone can come by and get it cleaned up." DJ responded.
"We're going to have to walk down to the communal bathrooms." Bridgette said, looking over to Heather.
Heather looked over to Bridgette and rolled her eyes, walking away and towards the back door.
"Let me go grab my phone." Bridgette stopped her. "We could use a flashlight."
Heather stopped at the door as Bridgette went and grabbed her phone.
Heather Confessional:
"Bridgette is so transparent right now. Ever since our fight, Bridgette has been trying everything she can to get some alone time to talk with me. But, I know nothing can move forward between us until we address what happened last night."
Heather and Bridgette walked outside onto the back porch and down the stairs.
"So, what's up?" Bridgette asked.
"Nothing much. Nothing life threatening, I promise." Heather remarked, glancing over to Bridgette.
"Look, Heather, I'm truly so sorry about what happened. I didn't have the right to get involved with your drama and…"
"That's the thing! I wasn't in any drama, at all!" Heather yelled.
Bridgette nodded. "You're right, and I'm sorry about what I just said."
"I understand if you think I'm mean, but I was never abusive to you or DJ or really anyone. It wasn't like I'd go to the kitchen and beat the crap out of him, you know?"
Bridgette sighed. "Yeah, and I'm also sorry for how yesterday went."
"Look Bridgette, I'm going to tell you something that you can't repeat to anybody else. If you open your mouth about this to anybody else… let's just say that one morning you'll wake up with no ponytail."
Bridgette nodded. "Okay…"
Heather stopped walking, causing Bridgette to stop as well. "When I woke up and yelled DJ's name, I had a dream about him. We were getting married and it scared the hell out of me!"
Bridgette gasped. "NO WAY! REALLY?"
Heather put her hand over Bridgette's mouth, making her quiet. "Shut up! Don't cause a scene."
Bridgette grabbed Heather's wrist and lowered her hand off of her face. "Do you like him?"
"No! I mean, I don't know! But I know he wouldn't take me even if I did like him! Which I don't."
"How can you say that, Heather? You're so beautiful and he let you cry in his chest! Like he's so supportive of you." Bridgette exclaimed.
"Shush!" Heather yelled. "Well I don't have feelings for him! So get the idea off of your head!"
Bridgette smiled. "Your dirty secret is safe with me!"
"There's no dirty secret! Now can we please hurry up before I piss myself?" Heather stressed.
"Well, I hope everything can be better between us." Bridgette said as they continued walking.
"This is definitely a start to a brighter future between us." Heather smiled as she eased up.
