Summary: "I can't stand being the Villain anymore! Especially hurting the man I love over and over again..."
Connor was injured. His leg was broken and he was having difficulty walking.
Riya looked at how Connor was with fear and anxiety.
Connor: Why Riya... Why did you do this to me when I love you more than anything?...
Riya couldn't look at Connor. That wasn't what she wanted to do. She wanted to push him off the horse and end it with a normal fall. She felt bad for going this far for the first time.
Riya: I... I don't know...
Connor: Don't you know? I gave up everything for you. You owe me an explanation!
Riya looked ahead with tears in her eyes. The cameras were on her. She didn't want to weaken under this pressure she had been holding for years. She took a deep breath and exhaled. She tried to become the Riya the public wanted to see... but she couldn't. She took another breath and exhaled but... she couldn't! Her emotions were giving her away. She couldn't hold it in. The cameras were in front of her. She looked at the camera several times and turned to Connor.
Riya: I can't take it anymore!
Ally Grett and Kristal are surprised by Riya's rebellion.
Riya: I can't stand acting like the villain! I can't stand constantly hurting people and not caring about what they think! I'm so tired of always playing the villain in front of the cameras! I even hurt the ones I love and people expect me to laugh at them but I can't! I especially can't stand hurting the only man I love over and over again!
Jake and Connor look surprised as Riya says these things.
Riya: Kristal, I want to transfer my immunity to Connor. I'm tired of struggling and trying to win the 3 million dollars. If you want, vote me out tonight, I don't mind. Besides, I don't even deserve to look at anyone's face anymore...
Riya leaves there crying.
Connor looks upset.
The others look confused between shock and sadness.
Ally: I'll go after her.
Ally goes after Riya.
Confessional
Ally: I don't even know what to say right now... I'm surprised that Riya has been acting like the bad guy since this season. Is what Riya said true? Was it wrong to leave Jake with the bear?...
Confessional End
Riya was sitting on a rock and crying.
Ally sees Riya and goes to her.
Ally: Riya?
Riya wipes her tears from her eyes.
Riya: Ally? What are you doing here?
Ally: I was wondering about you... about how you are. Are you okay?
Riya: I... never thought I would go this far today... My heart is breaking every second I hurt Connor so many times... Now he could be crippled because of me and all because of my "villain" image and my desire to win the race!
Ally: Hey, don't blame yourself, it's not your fault that you chose the villain role to make people accept you. Sometimes it suits you very well but still, it's never too late to turn to the right path.
Riya: I've already lost that path. As if it wasn't enough that I made you stray from your right path because of my stupid advice...
Ally: You never led me astray in any way. Before your advice, I used to care about everyone. What do they want, what do they like, what do they not like, what am I doing wrong... I have struggled with these kinds of thoughts a lot. My mother not approving of anything I do. I have cut ties with my family and all that... thanks to you I don't feel bad about what they did to me anymore. Of course I will care about people but that is for those who love me. It is obvious that you still care about Connor.
Riya: I love Connor... people don't like us because of our age difference, I used to say some bad things about Connor in interviews... now I am worried about my sister. What if she follows my path and ruins her life... what if she hurts the people she loves like me irreversibly...
Ally: I'm sure she won't. Trust her.
Riya: I was already eliminated tonight. I don't even know what to do anymore. After this episode airs people will hate me and with my fame falling I will go back to India. When I get back there, my family will be disappointed, my sister will hate me and I will be hated forever...
Ally: Wow... You have so many negative thoughts Riya. Get rid of them and focus on positive thoughts. Connor will get better, you will redesign your image and make it better with these confessions and your family will be proud of you. Maybe you will even make up with some of your old friends... Maybe life will be even better for you...
Riya was smiling at these thoughts.
Riya: Thanks Ally, you are my best friend here.
Both girls hug each other.
It is evening, Riya is waiting for the bus.
Ally: Are you sure you want to go?
Riya: Yes, I don't want to be here anymore. I already hurt the people here.
Ally: Not me.
Ally smiled at Riya.
Riya: Thanks for being there for me Ally.
Ally and Riya hug each other. The bus arrives.
Riya: Okay, I guess it's time to go.
Riya sighs and is about to get on when someone stops her.
?: Riya, wait!
Riya turns around and is surprised.
Riya sees Connor there. His leg was bandaged and he was walking with a crutch. Riya felt bad once again.
Riya: Connor, I'm so sorry for everything I did... I don't expect you to forgive me but you should know that you are a very good man and you deserve better than me... Goodbye Connor...
Just as Riya was about to get on the bus, Connor pulls Riya to him and the two share their first real and passionate kiss.
Both of them continued kissing.
Jake and Grett were surprised by what they saw when they got there.
The two of them stopped kissing after a while.
Riya: Connor... even after everything I did to you...
Connor: It's hard to hate you Riya... you are always in my heart and no matter how bad you do, I love you deeply. We will overcome this together, if you want.
Riya smiled.
Riya: Yes... I would love to.
Riya hugged Connor to say goodbye.
Then she got on the bus and left.
Connor was happy to have the Riya of his dreams.
Ally approached Jake.
Ally: Jake, I know we are not friends but I want to open a new page between us. I know I can be very caring, insecure and challenging to many people but how about we put the past aside and end the enemy?
Ally extended her hand to Jake.
Jake surprised Ally and hugged her.
Ally was happy when she understood the answer and continued to hug Jake.
On the other side was Riya. She was looking at the road. She was thinking about her future. Now at peace with her true identity, she felt proud of herself for the first time in a long time.
Riya sniffed the air inside and smiled.
Riya's life was starting over for the better...
(The End)
Note: Heyyy! This wasn't an episode that was on the level of Ally Defender because Ally was flawless this episode. Although Riya seemed flawless at first, her flaws increased greatly later. I rewrote the scene that bothered me and made it more dramatic in my own way. I hope you like it :))
