"Previously on Dramatic Disventurous All Stars, Teams got acquainted while rainstorms soaked all their camps. Magenta Team managed to avoid getting wet thanks to Ally's strategy to cover the tent with leaves. The challenge was to bring all the critters into the camp to repopulate the forest. Magenta Team lost and thanks to an argument with Jake and him showcasing too much loyalty to Aiden, James was voted out first which didn't fit too well with half the team. Twenty-seven left. Who will be voted out tonight?" Kristal recapped.

(After theme song)

We begin the episode with it raining in the morning. Currently the Cyan Team were sitting in their waterproof tent that they won from the last challenge which was keeping them all dry.

"How long is this storm going to go on for?" Aiden asked worriedly.

"I think the worst is over. I've noticed the clouds have become less grey." Harold pointed out happily.

"Once the rain is over I can get a fire going." Tom offered.

"I can help. I learned a trick from last season back when me and Hunter were stranded in the woods." Lake added helpfully.

"We couldn't have won this reward at a better time." Tess smiled enthusiastically.

"I know. This waterproof tent is spectacular!" Gabby cheered.

"Makes me almost feel sorry for the others. Wonder how they're doing anyway." Leshawna said thoughtfully.

We then cut to the majority of the Yellow Team in their tent as well, however in contrast to the Cyan Team, they were wet and shivering. Alec and Owen seemed to be missing.

"Where are Alec and Owen?" Connor asked in concern.

"Alec said he went out to look for breakfast. No doubt Owen's doing the same." Bridgette answered calmly.

"In the rain?" Connor asked incredulously.

"Alec probably doesn't want to squeeze in here with the rest of us. Guy's an introvert." Grett admitted.

"And Owen will strive to eat anything no matter the timing or weather." Courtney pointed out dryly.

"It's not like we're very dry here anyway." Alejandro pointed out.

"Ugh. We can't lose any more rewards." Riya growled.

"What happened to coming prepared? Where's your waterproof fur coat?" Yul smirked mockingly before Riya grabbed his hair ferociously.

"You wanna say that again, wise guy?" Riya narrowed her eyes.

"UGH! Let go of me you has-been!" Yul cried out indignantly.

"First warning!" Riya warned furiously.

"Enough! I get we're all stressed but I will not allow fighting!" Connor crossed his arms sternly.

"Who died and made you the king of fighting?" Yul said in annoyance.

"I agree with the brat. I'm not your daughter." Riya protested.

"Then quit acting like a child." Connor argued before storming off, much to Bridgette's sympathy before she glared at Riya.

"You should probably apologize to him." Bridgette suggested coldly.

"Why should I?" Riya raised an eyebrow.

"From what I saw last season, he stuck by your side after all was said and done and here you are dismissing him like garbage." Bridgette explained in annoyance, causing Riya to look away guiltily.

We then see Connor walking outside when he ran into Alec who seemed confused by his anger.

"What happened there? I heard shouting." Alec asked Connor in concern.

"It's like handling a bunch of kindergarteners in there." Connor explained angrily.

"Hmph. What a surprise." Alec tsked.

"I can understand Yul behaving like this but Riya? I thought she'd know better." Connor spoke in disappointment.

"Maybe that's just who she is." Alec suggested.

"I know Riya. She's sweet and kind, and I trust her with my life." Connor said determinedly before sighing, "But this persona that comes out every time we're on camera, it's just not who she is."

"So what's wrong with her?" Alec asked curiously.

"She's under a lot of stress due to her on-screen reputation. I try to be understanding but sometimes she makes it really hard." Connor explained solemnly.

"You can't make her change, Connor. Unless she wants to, she will always be this way." Alec explained in an almost solemn tone.

"How do you know that? You a therapist or something?" Connor asked with a raised eyebrow.

"No, but a while ago, my wife who I was very close to tried to change who I was. I wasn't able to figure it out for myself until it was too late. No matter what she told me, I was still the same man she couldn't stand and so it made us go our separate ways." Alec said sadly, "I'm sorry. I'm just trying to be honest with you."

Confessional: Alec

"Ever since I lost my last season, I watched it over and over to see where I went wrong. I think my biggest mistake was sticking with Fiore for as long as I did. At that point, she became my only true connection. This time I'll try to branch out more and find new allies." Alec said sternly.

Confessional Ends

After Alec's confessional, we cut to Gwen and Noah picking berries from a nearby bush before Gwen spoke up.

"Are we ever going to address the elephant in the room?" Gwen asked impatiently.

"What's there to address? Our plan to vote Jake off didn't work. Yeah, it sucks but James was probably my second choice for elimination anyway considering that he'd probably still try to cook up some schemes even after he redeemed himself." Noah shrugged dismissively.

"You do realize that Cody didn't vote with us last night, right?" Gwen reminded the Know-It All.

"It's not like he completely backstabbed us or anything. He made it clear he was having thoughts about targeting James." Noah pointed out, "Why do you care so much that he didn't vote Jake? If we were targeting Fiore, I'd get it, but I get why he'd have second thoughts on sparing someone like Jake. Hell, I wasn't completely comfortable voting him off either."

Gwen looked to her side solemnly before sighing.

"I'd rather not talk about it." Gwen admitted quietly.

"Suit yourself I guess." Noah said, feeling awkward at Gwen's expression before walking away from her but once he was far enough from Gwen and before he could get to his teammates, he was pulled into the nearest bush by Owen.

"Owen, what are you doing here?" Noah asked incredulously.

"I need to tell someone and you're the only one I know that can help me. I saw Alejandro and Alec talking with each other during the last challenge. They were wearing their evil smirk faces and everything." Owen said in concern.

"Oh damn… that's actually a little concerning." Noah said thoughtfully before deciding to say, "Just keep an eye out for now. We don't know what they're planning."

"Yeah… probably the best idea." Owen said sheepishly.

We then cut to Cody collecting sticks with Hunter and Ally before the geek spoke up.

"Thanks for letting me help you with the firewood guys. I know things are pretty awkward with the others after the elimination." Cody said gratefully.

"No problem. You did get my head back in the game last challenge so it evens out." Hunter said with an amicable smile before noticing Ally looking a little distressed.

"Uh Cody, can you bring these sticks over to our team's fire?" Hunter asked the geek as he gave Cody his sticks for the fire.

"Sure thing." Cody said, noticing Ally's distressed look and being able to connect the dots to realize he wasn't needed at this time.

"Is everything okay, Ally?" Hunter asked in concern.

"We need a plan. It was a bad idea to target Fiore." Ally said solemnly.

"But she's the weakest." Hunter argued.

"Have you noticed how Jake and Ashley have been talking with each other. I'm worried they can be a big threat and given how close the original Total Drama castmates are… I think we might need Heather and Fiore." Ally said in concern.

"Whoa, hold up. We'll likely keep losing challenges if we work with Fiore. What about Cody? I think we can get him to vote with us as long as Gwen isn't the target." Hunter reminded his girlfriend.

"Doesn't hurt to have a backup plan though but yeah, you have a point on pulling Cody to our side." Ally conceded before sighing tiredly, "Let's just get this back to our team."

Hunter just looked on with worry.

Confessional: Hunter

"I'm worried about Ally. She seems to care so much about what other people on her streams think that it's making her stressed out on how to play the game. I just wish she could ignore them." Hunter sighed miserably.

Confessional Ends

We then cut to the Yellow and Cyan Teams in their swimsuits as they stand near a dock with Kristal as they wait for the Magenta Team.

"Come on in." Kristal said happily to the Magenta team as they walked by, "You guys are getting a first look at the new Magenta Team, James voted out at the first elimination."

This news caused the likes of Alejandro, Riya, and Yul to smirk while Aiden gasped in horror at this turn of events.

"James…. No." Aiden said in disappointment.

"Oh Aiden…" Lake said softly.

"I'm so sorry Aiden." Tom said sympathetically.

"It's okay… I knew it could happen." Aiden sighed as Tom and Lake placed a comforting hand on each of his shoulders.

Gwen immediately glared at Jake after witnessing this, making Jake look away guiltily.

Confessional: Aiden

"This sucks. James is a better person than before and would be willing to play better than he did last time. Why would anyone hate him? It's gonna be so much harder without him." Aiden said miserably.

Confessional: Alejandro

"Well well, it seems the plan ended up working perfectly." Alejandro said happily.

Confessionals End

"Before we explain today's challenge, I would like to let you all know that this season, we have hidden two immunity totems." Kristal smirked in delight.

"Whoa whoa whoa. Two?!" Ellie asked in shock.

"That's right. Given we have such a large cast, we figured it was time to amp up the twists a little. That's why we have two totems along with other special advantages that have been hidden as well." Kristal added on which made everyone in the cast look at each other in fear and/or interest.

"Time to explain today's challenge. We provided scuba gear for everyone. Once you're all dressed, you must enter the lake where you'll find clues to a hidden treasure chest. The two teams that find the chest first and bring it to the surface win invincibility and one more thing, the new marine life in camp can be a little dangerous." Kristal explained, "Get on your diving gear and we'll get started."

We then see Trevor, Marcus, and Chef handing out diving gear as Riya took her helmet with a worried look on her face.

"You okay Riya?" Connor asked in concern.

"It's just that scuba diving didn't end so well for me last time." Riya whimpered.

"Oh… right. Don't worry, I'll be right by your side the whole time." Connor smiled encouragingly.

"Promise you won't leave me?" Riya asked sadly.

"I promise." Connor confirmed, making Riya smile softly.

Soon the entire Yellow Team had their helmets on which made Courtney begin speaking.

"Okay everyone. I say all of us should split into groups of three during this challenge. I'll go with Grett and Yul, Connor and Riya can partner up with Bridgette, and that leaves Alejandro, Alec, and Owen." Courtney instructed.

Confessional: Alejandro

"I'm almost sure Courtney left me with Owen on purpose." Alejandro bitterly rolled his eyes.

Confessional: Courtney

"I totally put Alejandro with Owen on purpose." Courtney smirked before gaining a serious expression, "But I'm going with Grett and Yul so I can see if there's anything I need to be worried about. After dealing with a bunch of relationship issues on this show, I may as well make sure Grett isn't going through something abusive… y'know, for the sake of the team of course."

Confessionals End

We then see Marcus handing Jake his helmet which he decided to put on and then strike a "sexy" pose.

"So how do I look? Could I be a runway model?" Jake asked teasingly.

"That'd be quite a wild fashion show, I'll tell you that." Ashley chuckled.

We then cut to everyone standing at the dock with their helmets and oxygen tanks on them with Kristal on her megaphone, "I'll be waiting right here. First two teams to bring their treasure chests back win immunity. Make use of those radios I generously gave you to communicate with each other. This challenge starts now."

We then cut to the Magenta Team all floating through the water when Ashley immediately assumed the leader position.

"We can split up into groups of three to cover more ground. Any volunteers?" Ashley suggested.

"Me and Hunter can work with Cody." Ally suggested to which Cody raised an eyebrow but didn't object.

"I'm alright with working with Ashley and Noah." Jake said amicably much to Noah's worry, considering he voted for Jake last night.

"Guess I'm with these two then?" Gwen sighed as she looked at Heather and Fiore who glared at her.

"Don't act TOO happy about it." Heather sarcastically remarked.

After that, we cut to Cyan Team searching throughout the water before Tom notices a dark tunnel nearby and points towards it.

"Ooh. I see something in there." Tom told Aiden.

"Fine… but I don't think moving rocks in scary dark tunnels ever ends well." Aiden spoke worriedly.

"Just be careful. It looks dark in there." Gabby said in concern.

Tom and Aiden nodded before they both swam inside the cave but as soon as they went in, their other teammates heard the two screaming.

"That's it. I'm going after them." Lake said sternly but before she could swim in the cave, Tom and Aiden immediately swam out of the cave, being chased by a shark much to everyone's concern, though Ellie looked like she was going to have a mental breakdown from how much she was shaking and how wide her eyes were. However, no one seemed to notice this as they all were distracted by Tom and Aiden's situation.

"Please tell me you two are okay." Leshawna spoke in concern.

"Yeeeeeeeeah. We're just… distracting the shark for you…" Tom smiled sheepishly as he spoke into his mic before quickly adding, "Head into the tunnel, there's a clue in there."

"I think I should make sure Tom and Aiden are okay." Lake said worriedly to the rest of her teammates before swimming off.

"I'll go to make sure she has some extra protection." Harold said in concern before following Lake.

"And I'll go to make sure Harold doesn't somehow kill Lake while trying to protect her." Duncan said blandly before also following the two, dismissing the glare he got from Leshawna for his remark.

As soon as all five of their teammates were gone, Tess and Gabby immediately noticed Ellie's terrified expression.

"Ellie, are you okay?" Gabby asked worriedly.

"Sh-Shark… beady eyes… really scared… I… I…" Ellie spoke but could barely form a sentence as tears began to form.

"Breathe Ellie. There's no shark here right now. It's just me, Gabby, and Leshawna. You're safe with us." Tess grasped Ellie's hands, trying to comfort her friend who's breathing was slowly steadying as she tightly grasped Tess' hands as if they were her life support but not enough to hurt her.

"C'mon sweetie. You'll be fine. We won't let you go." Gabby offered with a sweet smile which made Ellie smile at both Gabby and Tess before starting to join them in swimming. Leshawna just stared at what she just witnessed before following the trio.

Confessional: Leshawna

"Goddamn… that was tough to watch. I'm just glad Gabby and Tess were there to keep Ellie stable." Leshawna admitted in relief.

Confessional: Tess

"I've had my own panic attacks before. The only difference is no one was really there for me back when I had them. I was either told to stop being dramatic or people did the bare minimum. I'm really glad I was able to help Ellie when she needed it." Tess said with a bittersweet grin.

Confessional: Gabby

"Once we moved in together, Ellie opened up about her shark phobia. Turns out putting her in the same pool as a shark last season was harder for her than she acted. I'm just glad she's fighting through her fear." Gabby also spoke bittersweetly.

Confessional: Ellie

"I…" Ellie began awkwardly before coughing into her fist and trying to give a cold glare to the camera, "I don't owe you an explanation."

Confessionals End

We then cut back to Riya, Connor, and Bridgette searching together when Riya pointed towards a nearby rock.

"Guys, I see something under that rock." Riya spoke up.

"Good job Riya. Let's go get it." Bridgette said happily.

"I-I can't…" Riya spoke nervously before Bridgette realized why she was hesitant to go further down.

"Okay. I'll go get it myself. Connor, stay up here with her." Bridgette instructed with a calm smile to which Connor nodded before Bridgette began swimming down to the rock nearby to find the clue.

Riya's breathing became more frantic which Connor noticed.

"Don't worry Riya. I'm right here. Everything's gonna be fine." Connor tried his best to comfort her to which she smiled softly at.

Soon enough, Bridgette made it back up towards Connor and Riya with the clue in her hand.

"Guys, I found the clue." Bridgette spoke into her mic, "For the sake of winning quickly I'll just tell you what it says. It's a drawing of seaweed. That must be where the next clue is."

"Thanks Bridgette. We'll keep that in mind. Over and out." Courtney's voice could be heard through the mics.

We then cut to Jake, Ashley, and Noah searching through the water when Jake spoke up.

"Guys… can I confess something?" Jake asked sheepishly.

"What is it?" Noah asked cautiously.

"I feel bad for voting out James. I wasn't trying to be accusatory but I'm starting to think I should've kept my mouth shut. I'm starting to feel I was just being paranoid over Tom and Aiden." Jake sighed sadly.

"Well you DID jump the gun in all fairness. I'd be more concerned if you didn't feel bad." Noah admitted with a lighthearted smirk but seeing as Ashley and Jake rose an eyebrow at his remark, clearly weirded out, he stopped talking.

"Noah could have worded it better but he does have a point. We don't know for sure what's going on between them." Ashley reminded her friend.

"Who did you even hear this from anyway?" Noah asked skeptically.

"Uh… Alec brought it up. At first I felt like dismissing it but suddenly Alejandro intervened and admitted he noticed the same thing. It seemed like Alec wasn't expecting him to say anything so it got me on edge." Jake admitted sheepishly.

"Well I wouldn't take what they say to heart. They both feed off causing drama for everyone." Noah rolled his eyes, "They're villains."

"I know… I just felt something really strange when they got super close together on Day 1 but now all I feel is guilt." Jake sighed.

"There's no changing the past. We just have to keep moving forward." Ashley advised softly.

"Do you think it's wrong that I feel guilty about this?" Jake asked curiously.

"Guilt can consume you if you let it. Trust me, I've been there before." Ashley said sadly.

"You have?" Noah raised an eyebrow in concern.

"It happened a while ago." Ashley responded.

"Do you wanna tell us?" Jake asked with equal concern.

"Well…" Ashley began before noticing Tom and Aiden swimming away from the shark from earlier and ducked Noah and Jake down as they swam past the Magenta trio.

Tom and Aiden then hid behind a rock in which the shark bumped into, allowing Tom to punch it in the nose so it could scurry off.

"We did it. Finally." Aiden smiled at the officer as they hugged, "We're alive!"

Noah turned to Jake in worry that he'd overreact but Jake merely sighed in response.

"They just escaped a fight with a shark, I don't blame them." Jake admitted sadly which made Noah look at the blue haired boy in surprise.

"C'mon boys. We should probably look for the clues somewhere else." Ashley gestured to Noah and Jake who nodded before swimming away. Tom noticed them leaving and sighed solemnly.

"Finally. We caught up." Duncan's voice could be heard impatiently as he, Harold, and Lake swam over.

"Gee, you sound so thrilled to see that we're okay." Aiden said in annoyance.

"Oh c'mon. Not even I'm that heartless." Duncan rolled his eyes.

"We should probably start searching for clues. We wasted a lot of time trying to find you." Lake reminded the boys.

"I don't think we have to completely worry about that. Even with the shark, the girls should've been able to find the first clue that Tom had found earlier." Harold acknowledged before we cut to Leshawna, Ellie, Gabby, and Tess deep into the caverns Tom and Aiden were in earlier but this time with no sharks.

"It's a drawing of seaweed." Leshawna spoke into her mic to let their other teammates from afar know about where their next clue should be.

"Oh. I know where that is. Follow me." Ellie brightened up before swimming out of the cave.

"Woohoo! We're gonna win!" Gabby cheered excitedly as she, Tess, and Leshawna began following Ellie.

We then cut to Cody, Ally, and Hunter searching for clues but as they were doing so, Ally decided now would be the perfect time to strike up conversation.

"Hey Cody… out of curiosity. Who did you end up voting for last night?" Ally asked with a sheepish grin which made Cody widen his eyes a little.

"Ally." Hunter spoke in a lecturing tone.

"What? I'm just asking him a question. I already know Gwen and James voted for Jake and Jake and Ashley voted for James, but I don't trust Noah, Heather, and Fiore enough to ask them who they voted for." Ally explained nervously.

"It's cool guys. If it'll help you connect the dots, I kinda voted for James in the last elimination." Cody smiled sheepishly.

"Wait seriously? Why'd you vote for James? Fiore's much less helpful in challenges, plus she's a villain." Hunter reminded the geek before Ally glared at the player to shut him up.

"Well… it's clear that James is working on changing but considering how hostile he acted towards Jake over a misunderstanding, I really don't think it would've been best for him to stay here." Cody explained sadly.

"Yeah, I get that." Ally nodded sympathetically, "So I'm guessing that likely means Noah did vote for Jake after all and Heather and Fiore voted for James?"

"Basically." Cody shrugged, "Noah's pretty closed off but he does tend to be pretty honest in his opinions."

Ally put a finger to her chin in thought at this revelation.

Confessional: Ally

"After hearing Cody's opinion on how the votes went, it does at least give me a better idea of how the social status of our team is. And right now me and Hunter are probably on the chopping block if we can't get Cody to flip on Heather and Fiore but considering Cody seems to have a positive opinion on pretty much everyone in our team, getting him to join us is gonna prove difficult." Ally admitted worriedly.

Confessional Ends

We then cut to Alec, Alejandro, and Owen searching for clues together when Owen smiled and picked up a clue nearby.

"Guys! I found a clue!" Owen said excitedly.

"It's a photo of a cave." Alejandro looked above Owen's shoulder.

"Let's go then." Alec said happily but as the three began swimming, Alec noticed that Fiore was all by herself in the water.

"Fiore! What are you doing down here by yourself?!" Alec asked in a surprising amount of concern.

"Ugh! The other teams split off into groups and I was in a group with Gwen and Heather but both of them split off from each other after having an argument about where to look for the clues." Fiore groaned in frustration.

"How disgraceful. A child of your age should not be left alone!" Alejandro crossed his arms indignantly.

"Cut the phony despair. I know you don't care that much." Fiore grumbled angrily to which Alejandro looked away sheepishly.

"We can help you with the challenge." Alec informed the child.

"Would you?" Fiore asked in an almost soft tone.

"I agree with helping her but are we sure we should be helping her win?" Owen asked worriedly.

"I must agree. Why should we be helping the opposite team?" Alejandro asked angrily.

"Boys, if Fiore's team wins, Heather and Noah are on her team. They'd all be safe." Alec reminded his group members which made their eyes widen.

"Fine… I suppose it's for a worthy cause." Alejandro admits reluctantly.

"Same here but only as long as the Cyan Team loses." Owen nodded with more determination.

"That's the plan." Alec smirked.

"There you are." Heather's voice rang out as she swam towards Fiore, "Where the hell were you? I thought you were gonna follow me."

"You were swimming pretty fast. How was I supposed to catch up?" Fiore asked blankly which made Heather facepalm in realization.

"Okay Heather and Fiore, tell your team that you found your clue and that the chest is in the cave." Alec instructed, "Alejandro and Owen, let's go find the Cyan Team. I have an idea."

The three boys then swam off much to Heather's confusion.

"What the heck are they doing?" Heather asked, clearly weirded out.

"Long story, I'll explain later, but for now…" Fiore smirked before speaking into her mic, "Hey fish for brains, me and Heather found the last clue. The chest is in a cave. I hope you'll start taking us more seriously. Especially Gwen, considering you split off from us. Now MOVE!"

"Putting Gwen in the spotlight in a negative light? I'm impressed. So what deal did you make with the boys?" Heather smirked, clearly pleased with Fiore's antics.

"Where should I begin?" Fiore smirked back.

We then see Courtney, Grett, and Yul looking for a clue together when Yul spoke up.

"Have you found anything?" Yul asked rudely.

"If I did, don't you think I would've said something by now?" Courtney rolled her eyes.

"Ugh! Where is that stupid clue!" Yul growled, making Grett chuckle.

"You're so cute when you're frustrated." Grett cooed.

"Seriously?" Yul said, deadpan.

"Yeah darling." Grett put a hand to Yul's chest causing him to slap her hand away.

"Don't you dare touch me!" Yul cried out furiously.

"What?!" Grett said worriedly as Courtney glared at the dancer.

"If you didn't want her to touch you that's fine, but there was no need to act like that." Courtney criticized.

"Uh… well… let's just focus on finding the next clue." Yul weakly defended himself.

"We have the last clue. The chest is in a cavern." Alec's voice could be heard through their earpieces.

"There's a cavern in that direction." Grett pointed out.

"C'mon then." Yul began swimming quickly as Courtney and Grett soon followed, with Courtney glaring at Yul.

Confessional: Grett

"Sometimes I feel Yul acts a little distant towards me but maybe physical affection isn't his thing." Grett said awkwardly.

Confessional: Courtney

"Yep, I'm gonna need to keep an eye on those two." Courtney said, unamused by Yul's antics from earlier.

Confessional Ends

We then cut back to Ellie, Gabby, Tess, and Leshawna searching through the water with Ellie holding the last clue in her hands.

"This is strange. The last clue says that we should be heading for a cave but I still don't see it." Ellie said skeptically.

"Ugh. I feel like we've been searching forever." Gabby whined.

"Calm down Gabby, I'm sure we'll find the cave eventually." Leshawna calmly reassured the vegan.

Suddenly Owen swam in front of the girls with a worried expression on his face.

"Girls… thank goodness. I haven't seen anyone for a while. I got separated from my team and I'm afraid I'll run out of oxygen." Owen said in despair.

"Oh… I'm sure that sucks for you but you can always go back to the surface if you're worried." Ellie suggested awkwardly.

"B-But I want to help my team win. Last I saw them was in the cave." Owen spoke fearfully.

"Cave?" Leshawna asked, clearly interested by this information.

"Can you take us to the cave? If we don't find your teammates, I can help you go to the surface." Tess smiled reassuringly.

"Okay then… follow me." Owen smiled guiltily as he led the girls away. Meanwhile Alejandro and Alec smirked from behind a nearby rock.

We then cut to Cody, Hunter, and Ally swimming down towards a cave when they gasped at seeing three chests inside.

"Fiore was right. The chest is here!" Cody smiled enthusiastically.

"Let's hurry and get it to the surface." Ally smiled back.

Back with Owen, Leshawna, Ellie, Gabby, and Tess, they were continuing to swim together but so far, there was no cave in sight.

"Owen, are you sure this is where the cave is?" Tess asked in concern.

"O-Of course. We're almost there." Owen smiled sheepishly which made Leshawna gain a suspicious look before swimming right in front of his face.

"Owen, be honest with us right now. Are you leading us to a cave or not?" Leshawna asked angrily and upon her angry gaze, Owen couldn't help it.

"Okay okay! I was lying! We're not heading towards a cave and I didn't get separated from my team! Alejandro and Alec told me to sabotage you girls! I'm sorry!" Owen confessed remorsefully.

"Goddammit. I should've known better than to trust you!" Ellie glared at the big guy furiously.

"Ellie, calm down. I doubt Owen wanted to do this." Tess told her friend calmly.

"No, no. Don't be mad at her. I'm the one who tricked you. I'm really sorry." Owen said remorsefully.

"It's okay Owen. I doubt your sabotage really affected our team anyway." Leshawna reassured him.

"Really?" Owen raised an eyebrow.

"Yeah. We split off from the boys and Lake to look for the chest a while ago. They're probably closer to finding it than we are." Gabby replied cheerfully.

"Oh…" Owen said in realization.

We then cut to the inside of the cave where Courtney, Grett, and Yul were already lifting their chest up together as Tom, Aiden, Duncan, Harold, and Lake made it inside.

"There's the chest!" Lake said happily.

"Yeah, but Yellow Team's already rising to the surface." Aiden pointed out fearfully.

"So what? We have strength in numbers." Duncan smirked nonchalantly, "Hurry up you guys."

Soon enough, Tom, Lake, and Aiden grabbed onto one side of the chest while Duncan and Harold grabbed on to the other and began swimming upwards, passing the Yellow Team members quickly which took the three of them by surprise.

"Crap. Swim faster!" Courtney commanded worriedly to which Grett and Yul did so.

We then cut to Magenta and Cyan Team's chests being placed onto the dock up on the surface with Magenta getting their chest up first and Cyan getting up second.

"Magenta and Cyan Team have their chests up and win immunity!" Chef announced happily after all the teams resurfaced, "Magenta Team, since you were first. You can take what's inside. A fishing kit which can catch anything from man-eating sharks to simple goldfish."

"The Magenta Team immediately cheered while Heather and Fiore looked a bit worried for Alejandro and Alec respectively.

"We lost?! Are you serious?!" Riya asked incredulously as her team made it back onto the dock.

"Like you have any right to complain. You were just cowering about swimming the whole time. You are SO going home!" Yul told Riya furiously.

"Right back at you." Riya narrowed her eyes as she and Yul glared at each other but before things could escalate, Chef interrupted angrily.

"Ahem… if I can get through this without any more interruptions. Yellow Team, luck was not on your side, we'll see you tonight for elimination." Chef said sinisterly which made Yul and Riya glare at each other while everyone else just looked worried.

We then cut to Alejandro and Alec having a secret meeting near a secluded area of their team's forest.

"How did it go with Connor and Riya?" Alejandro asked curiously.

"Riya is still furious at Yul but both her and Connor are willing to consider voting with us. How was the talk with Courtney?" Alec answered confidently.

"I say it went very well. Despite her issues with me, I was able to point out that Owen was a massive threat due to his unstoppable social game and would be a hindrance in challenges if kept around. She was very willing to vote with us after that." Alejandro smirked back.

"I must say, I did not expect our sabotage to backfire the way it did." Alec admitted with a sigh.

"It could not be helped. Cyan Team simply just got lucky today." Alejandro reassured his alliance member, "I'm just glad Heather and Fiore are safe."

"I'm surprised you care so much if Heather's safe or not. I get that she's your girlfriend but I expected more hesitance on the idea of saving her and Fiore." Alec said curiously which Alejandro's eyes widened at before smiling softly.

"Nothing seems to get past you, does it?" Alejandro admitted fondly.

"I suppose it doesn't. Would you like to talk about it?" Alec said in surprise.

"Normally I'd say no, but unlike most villains in this show, you are one I am more fond of so I guess I may as well admit why I really helped you with your Jake scheme." Alejandro answered, during this time, Heather could be seen walking towards the area but immediately ducked behind a tree to overhear this conversation.

"I know what it's like to nearly lose someone you care about because of events from a past season. Back at the end of World Tour, I was so convinced I was never going to see Heather again after I got put in a robot suit for a year and when I competed again in my first All Stars season, I nearly wasted my second chance with her out of petty revenge but somehow, we got a happy ending. Now that we're back in this game, I can't help but worry about what will happen due to our competitive natures." Alejandro explained solemnly.

"What do you mean?" Alec asked with a raised eyebrow. Heather also looked concerned but neither Alec or Alejandro saw it.

"This very game is the reason why things didn't work out between us in World Tour. Well… that and me generally being very untrustworthy and despite getting together in All Stars, we were still betraying each other over and over. Sometimes I'd just like to play this game without the threat of our relationship being torn apart." Alejandro answered sadly to which both Alec and Heather seemed sympathetic towards.

"I'm sure the two of you will be fine. If you've been together this long, clearly you've grown stronger throughout the years. Just talk to her about your situation when you get the chance, I guarantee that even if you decide to betray each other or not, she will understand your worries." Alec advised the Spaniard.

"I suppose that makes sense. Thank you Alec." Alejandro said gratefully.

"Of course. What are allies for?" Alec replied lightheartedly.

The two soon walked off together with content smiles on their faces, unaware Heather was still there and a bit teary-eyed at what she just witnessed.

Confessional: Heather

Heather wiped her eyes a bit before speaking.

"After Fiore explained what her plan with Alec, Alejandro, and Owen was and told me Alejandro was swayed to help her with the notion that it'll keep me safe, I wanted to ask Alejandro why he'd go the extra mile for me. Especially since his team lost." Heather explained before gaining a bittersweet smile, "Guess I got my answer…"

Heather shook the feeling away before continuing to talk.

"Whatever. I'll talk to him about it later. Right now, he has an elimination to go to. I'm not worried. Seems like Owen or Yul will be leaving tonight." Heather said sternly before a tear escaped her eye.

Confessional Ends

Courtney could be seen gathering firewood at the woods before Bridgette walked by with Owen.

"What are you two doing here?" Courtney asked in confusion.

"I think we should talk about the vote tonight." Bridgette told the overachiever who raised an eyebrow.

After that, we cut to nighttime as Yellow Team was seen at the elimination ceremony with Kristal and Chef standing in front of them.

"Yellow Team, welcome to your first elimination. Love to see returning faces." Kristal said happily, "I'm sure you know how this works so let's get to it."

Voting: Yul

Yul glared at his ballot as he was making his vote.

Voting: Riya

"Sorry boys, but me and Connor do not want to deal with this nuisance again." Riya glared hatefully at the camera as she held up her vote for Yul.

Voting: Alejandro

Alejandro smirked confidently as he wrote down his vote.

Voting: Alec

Alec looked bored but made his vote regardless.

Voting: Owen

Owen bit his lip fearfully but put his vote in the urn.

Voting: Courtney

Courtney put a finger to her chin in thought but angrily wrote down her vote.

Voting Ends

"Once the votes are read, the decision is final." Chef smirked as he held the voting urn, "The person voted out will have to leave immediately. First vote…"

Yul and Riya glared at each other, Grett and Connor looked concerned for their partners, Bridgette and Courtney looked skeptical, Owen looked fearful, Alejandro and Alec smirked.

"Yul."

"WHAT?!" Yul cried out indignantly. Riya just smirked.

"Riya."

Riya rolled her eyes.

"Yul."

Yul crossed his arms and pouted like a child. Actually, that's not fair, not even children are as immature as Yul.

"Riya."

Riya glared furiously at the voting urn.

"That's two votes Yul, two votes Riya." Chef said dramatically.

"Owen."

Owen opened his mouth in shock but looked around in worry.

"Owen."

Owen's worry only increased.

"That's two votes Owen, two votes Riya, two votes Yul. Three votes left." Chef said tensely as Alec and Alejandro began to look a little concerned, Riya and Yul seemed undeterred, and Bridgette and Courtney looked at each other in doubt.

"Alejandro."

Alejandro's eyebrow raised but he expected something like this.

"Alejandro."

Alejandro's eyes widened a little more but he still kept his cool.

"That's two votes Yul, two votes Riya, two votes Owen, and two votes Alejandro. Only one vote left." Chef smirked as everyone in the team looked worried about what was going on but Courtney only smirked in realization, "Second person voted out of Dramatic Disventurous All Stars is…"

Alejandro and Alec looked concerned, as did Grett and Connor, Yul and Riya glared furiously at each other, but Courtney continued smirking.

"Alejandro." Chef finished as he flipped the last vote for Alejandro, "In this messed up vote, three votes were enough. It's time for you to go."

"WHAT?! Who flipped?!" Alejandro asked incredulously as he stood up to confront his team.

"Sorry Al. You were too much of a problem for my game." Courtney shrugged dismissively but everyone could see the spite hidden in her tone while Owen and Bridgette just smirked vindictively at each other. Finally, they got their revenge on him.

"You will all regret this." Alejandro crossed his arms furiously before walking off to the Bus Of Losers.

"I'm going to go check up on him." Alec said in concern before walking off to follow him.

We then cut to Alejandro and Alec at the bus stop when Alec spoke solemnly.

"Damn, I really didn't think the original cast would target you this early. Not when there are people like Owen and Bridgette on our team." Alec said sadly.

"It can't be helped. At least this time I was outsmarted by more worthy opponents than being doused in lava or having someone's evil alter make a fool out of me." Alejandro sighed, trying to look at the bright side of things.

"Yeah, your seasons are pretty weird all things considered." Alec admitted sheepishly.

"Tell me about it." Alejandro snickered before smiling fondly at the schemer, "I appreciate what you said earlier about me and Heather by the way. You have a point, I should talk to her about stuff like this. I do hope things end well between you and Fiore."

"What are you talking about?" Alec raised an eyebrow curiously.

"With all due respect, follow your own advice and talk to Fiore before you lose her, even if your bond with her is way different from me and Heather's, it's clear you care for her." Alejandro smirked playfully which made Alec look on in thought before the Bus Of Losers came to pick up Alejandro who got on said bus before it left, leaving Alec confused.

We then cut to Connor and Riya walking back to camp, though Riya seemed to be concerned while Connor merely looked disappointed.

"It's a shame we couldn't get rid of Yul, but at least we're still here." Connor admitted, trying to look at the bright side of things but Riya wasn't listening, and instead trying to make sure no one was around.

"Connor… we need to talk." Riya said sadly.

"What's up?" Connor asked in concern.

"Thank you… for helping me with the scuba diving. I know I've been mistreating you again and… I'm sorry about that." Riya apologized remorsefully which made Connor hug her before letting her go.

"You're trying, and that's what counts. I'll always be here for you." Connor reassured his semi-girlfriend.

"I need to be honest. At the very least, you deserve that. I know you came back to the show to support me and I really like you Connor but I came to win, I don't want there to be any more confusion." Riya said sternly.

"Oh." Connor said in shock.

"I've been trying to push you away because I thought it'd hurt less… look, you have to stay away from me." Riya explained sadly.

"But why?" Connor said, hurt by what she just asked.

"I don't want to hurt you anymore. You're a good man Connor but to win this game, I can't keep going down the honorable path. It's not how this industry works." Riya said, looking like she was about to cry.

"I thought you wanted to be better. That's why you came back." Connor said, showing hints of anger.

"Well… you thought wrong." Riya crossed her arms causing Connor to look down miserably.

"We shouldn't be each other's burdens anymore. We need to take some time apart." Riya said sadly.

"Is that what I am to you… a burden?" Connor asked, clearly hurt.

"It's over. I hope you respect me enough to keep playing the game together but we can't be anything more than that." Riya sighed solemnly before she walked away from Connor, leaving the old man looking down dejected.

Author's Note: Given the fact a certain plot point is happening very soon, Alejandro needed to go sooner or later but I knew that I wanted to spare him the dignity of being first boot. While my opinion of Alejandro has lessened over time, I do still enjoy him and figured he deserved to have some effect on the game before he left.
