Evil Dread

The contestants go digging through a beach for pieces of a statue from their world journey. A returned contestant plays a former flame for a fool with his malady, while two past villains fight for leadership of their team. Two contestants are nothing but a hindrance to their teams, while a new evil is unleashed within a kinder competitor. Ultimately, an acrobatic show-off gets the flush after his team loses due to his ineptitude.
==Plot==
The episode begins at the loser cabin where the Heroic Hamsters are asleep. Mike's personalities are active during Mike's sleep, as they discuss the return of an unnamed threat, which they all seem to fear. However, they end their conversation when Mike awakens. Meanwhile, a mosquito is feeding on Sam, draining a large amount of his blood, causing him to grow pale. On the girls' side of the cabin, Sierra wakes Courtney up by taking a picture of her, much to the latter's chagrin. 
Meanwhile, at the McLean Spa Hotel, the Villainous Vultures, except Gwen, are seen enjoying their stay. Gwen still feels that she doesn't belong on the team. When Duncan questions her about her behavior, she covers it up by saying she's wondering about Lightning's stay on Boney Island.
The scene then changes to Boney Island, where Lightning is seen fishing. After successfully catching one, a Stymphalian Canadian goose grabs the fish, but Lightning manages to grab it back. Lightning then eats the fish raw, upsetting his stomach, and subsequently running to a large boulder to vomit. Back at the hotel, Jo comments that she hopes Lightning fails to find the McLean-Brand Chris Head, while she is given steak to eat and brings up the possibility of voting Lightning off. Scott likes the plan, and questions if the Villains should throw the day's challenge to vote off Lightning, but Jo disagrees with the idea. He then comments about the luxuries of the hotel, mostly about the pillows. He complains about the pillows, back on the farm, being stuffed with live animals rather than feathers, and asks his team if they have ever had an animal from their pillow bite them in the middle of the night. Jo then orders him to be quiet so she can eat in peace.
In a different room, Heather is watching Alejandro get a leg massage, courtesy of an intern. She angrily orders him to stop hogging the masseuse. He ignores her, saying that if he could feel the intern's arms, that they must be magical. Heather groans about Alejandro's legs still being asleep, while he says that he believes they'll never wake up, lifting up his head, revealing his to-be waxed eyebrows. The two then argue about how Heather is unable to text him in the robot suit. Alejandro tries to counter back, but Heather tears off the wax strip on his eye brows, causing Alejandro to scream so loud it can be heard from outside the cabin. 
	
Chris then announces the start of the next challenge, and when Heather attempts to taunt Alejandro by bringing the baby carriage, he walks on his hands away from her, as Heather calls him a "show-off"
At the beach, Sam joins his team, feeling faint due to losing a large amount of blood from the mosquito. Meanwhile on the Vultures team, Gwen ignores Duncan's flirty comments directed towards her, while Lightning returns from Boney Island. 
	
Chris then announces that the contestants have to find seven 3D puzzle pieces that were buried under the sand, and assemble the pieces to form a landmark from one of the countries visited in . Additionally, the contestants have to be careful of booby traps around the sand as well as avoid falling into a pit below their team's platform, as demonstrated by Sam when he accidentally fell into a pit of crabs. As the winners of the previous challenge, the Vultures are rewarded shovels to aid them in the challenge while the Hamsters have to dig with their hands. Jo taps the sand around their platform with her shovel, causing it to collapse and reveal several traps. Meanwhile, Lightning shows off his skills, claiming he should use two shovels, one for each arm. This causes Heather to angrily hit him in the face with a shovel and take one for herself.
Once the challenge starts, Zoey forms a plan: the team should divide the beach into sections, and everyone choose a section. Courtney refuses, saying that they should divide the beach into quadrants, and each pick a quadrant. Cameron points out that Courtney's plan is the same as Zoey's, and Courtney says that they can use the plan that "Zoey and I" came up with. The team agrees, and gets to work. To aid their team further, Cameron summons Manitoba Smith by putting a hat that he found on Mike. With Manitoba's treasure hunting skills, the Heroic Hamsters finds their first piece easily.
On the other team, Heather and Jo once again argue over leadership of their team; and Gwen, annoyed with both of them, continues to make remarks about their behavior. Lightning runs past them, saying that nobody tells him what to do, and begins digging in the ocean. 
	
 
The Vultures also find their first piece while Heather and Jo continue their struggle for power. Gwen gets annoyed by this and walks away but trips over Alejandro, who also charms her by saying that she is "as wise as her skin is translucent."
An hour later, the challenge is still on. All contestants keep suffering various forms of mishaps, from triggering booby traps to falling into the pits of crabs, while looking for their pieces. Throughout the challenge, Lightning is busy admiring his body instead on focusing on the challenge while Sam keeps triggering trap after trap due to his drowsy state. Heather is still trying to catch Alejandro in the act, believing he is faking leg injuries. After he seemingly doesn't feel a crab pinching his foot, she gives up.
	
Sierra, on the other hand, is seen digging in the exact same spot she started, resulting in a twenty-foot deep hole. She then explains to Cameron that she is pretending to dig for Cody. At one point, Scott crosses over to the other team's area in an attempt to hide one of their pieces on his team's side of the beach. He digs up a piece, and takes it to his side; however, this plan backfired. Since Mike is still under the persona of Manitoba Smith, he is able to find the piece that Scott hid. While threatening Scott, Scott accidentally releases an angry swarm of bees from one of the traps. Scott, in a panic, unintentionally hits Manitoba in the head with his shovel, knocking him out. The scene switches to the inside of Mike's head, where Zoey can be heard shouting his name, and Manitoba has fallen down. The room, inside Mike's brain, contains a table, a few chairs and a portrait of Mike. Chester, Svetlana and Vito are playing Go Fish, and are surprised to see Manitoba. Manitoba warns the personalities of a "Malevolent One" making his return, as they begin to panic. A fire lights up on Mike's portrait, burning it off, and revealing another unknown personality. The appearance of this new personality begins to override Mike who suddenly laughs at Sam when he is stung by jellyfish. This out-of-character moment for Mike which does not goes unnoticed by Zoey though she brushes it off as Mike trying to make a joke about using pee to treat jellyfish sting. In order to relief his pain, Sam returns to the water and pee on himself, much to the disgust of Zoey.
The scene switches back to the beach, where the contestants are still gathering pieces. After all the pieces are seemingly gathered, both teams begin to assemble their statues. It is then revealed that both models (the Statue of Liberty for the Hamsters and Big Ben for the Vultures) are still missing one piece each. The Hamsters continues searching for their missing piece at Sam's quadrant while the Vultures scold Lightning, as he miscounts the number of pieces they have, who retorts they are conspiring against him. To make things, their sculpture collapses when Lightning puts a crab on where the final piece is supposed to be placed. The Hamsters manage to find their final piece, just before Jo collects her team's final piece. Zoey throws the torch from a distance, and it lands perfectly, completing their team's statue. Sam then volunteers to go to Boney Island to make up for his lack of participation in the challenge. Gwen, once again, tries to apologize to Courtney, and congratulate her for winning the challenge, but she accidentally triggers a trap which launches a garbage bag at her. Gwen manages to deflect it with her shovel, but it ends up hitting Courtney, covering her in garbage. Chris then applauds, and taunts Gwen, saying that she is indeed on the right team, saddening her.
At the elimination ceremony, the Vultures decide who to vote for. Mike, in the Peanut Gallery, transforms into his evil personality, stating that one-by-one, all the contestants will fall. However, he quickly changes back when Zoey questions him. Mike, not knowing that he had switched personalities, says that nothing happened and he has been here the entire time.
	
Chris gives Jo and Lightning their reasons for being in the bottom two; Lightning's stupidity in the challenge and Jo's "annoyingly pushy" campaign to get Lightning voted off. Upon hearing this, Lightning becomes angry at Jo. In the end, Jo receives the final marshmallow and Lightning is eliminated. As he is about to swear at Jo, Chris quickly activates the Flush of Shame, flushing Lightning away, stating that it is a family show.
===Exclusive clip===
Once Lightning manages to swim to the surface, he spots the Eiffel Tower and believes he is in Germany. A nearby mime tries to tell him to swim away, and Lightning, calling the mime a "German clown," mistakes the mime's swimming gestures for wanting to show him his muscles. A swan boat, with Bruno and Blaineley hugging, appears and knocks Lightning out. The mime then leaves, annoyed, calling Lightning an "imbecile."

==Trivia==
===General===
*A fifth alternate personality of Mike's, known as "The Malevolent One," makes his debut in this episode.
**A later episode reveals his name to be shortened to "Mal," who later becomes the main antagonist of the season.
*Mal's first line mirrors Alejandro's words in his confessional in "Anything Yukon Do, I Can Do Better."
*The default image on Sierra's camera is Cody in the shower, startled and covering himself with the shower curtain.
*The logo for Team Chris Is Really Really Really Really Hot is shown on a booby trap that Gwen triggered by accident.
*This episode's exclusive clip marks the first appearance of Blaineley since "Hawaiian Punch."
===Continuity===
*This episode's challenge featured a nod to the sculpture-building challenge from "Can't Help Falling in Louvre."
*This is the first time Alejandro has gotten a symbol of immunity. He never received a barf bag in , as Chris stopped using them after "Slap Slap Revolution," and he never received a marshmallow in "Awwwwww, Drumheller," as he was the intended person to be eliminated.
*This marks the first time Gwen isn't the first member of her team to be eliminated since .
*This is the second time Scott has caused an effect within Mike concerning his multiple personalities. 
**The first is in "Grand Chef Auto."
*This marks the first time in Total Drama history that one team does not win the first two challenges.
*The butler in this episode has the same design as the guard in "I See London…" ().
*Sierra mentions having a problem with internet withdrawal last time she competed. This is shown in episodes such as "The Am-AH-Zon Race" and "I See London…" where she used a pizza box as a laptop.
*It's revealed that Alejandro's legs have recovered somewhere between "Heroes vs. Villains" and this episode, but he hides this from the others by walking on his hands. He revealed it to be a fake to the other contestants in a future episode.
===References===
*The title is a reference to the horror film series Evil Dead.
*Chef putting his head into the hole on the door of the girls' cabin while saying "Here's breakfast" is a reference to the famous Jack Torrance scene from the 1980 film The Shining, based on Stephen King's novel of the same name.
*Chester's line mentioning "There's a storm acoming" is very likely a reference to a near-identical line said by Selina Kyle in The Dark Knight Rises.
===Goofs===
*Manitoba's hat disappears and reappears throughout the challenge after the Mal's introduction.
*Right before Jo pushes Heather into the moat, her legs abnormally overlap.
*When Jo and Heather fight over the puzzle piece, Heather's belly button disappears and then reappears.
*There is an error in how many pieces the Villainous Vultures had, as well as Lightning's "miscounting." Initially both teams had seven. Heather, Scott, Jo, Gwen, and Alejandro all found one each, and Lightning finds four. Mathematically, this would make nine pieces, so Lightning could not have miscounted. When Jo found the supposed final piece, it ended up being ten pieces.
*At the elimination ceremony, Chef is holding a plate with nine marshmallows. However, when Duncan, Gwen, Alejandro, Scott, and Heather receive theirs, only one remains.
*In the scene in which the Malevolent One reawakens, Svetlana has dark shadows on her eyes.
*Contrary to Mike's explanation and to popular belief, peeing on a jellyfish sting only makes the wound worse.
** Mike says that peeing is the only cure for jellyfish sting is untrue as well. While he might mean with first-aid treatment, there are actually many methods to treat jellyfish stings.
