An Explosive Welcome - Part 2

"**An Explosive Welcome - Part 2**" is the second episode of Toadal Drama Island Returns.

## Synopsis

As the contestants set out to find Toad’s interns in the forest, tensions rise amongst a few of them after both teams get lost.

## Plot

The episode opens up with the Killer Koopas walking in the woods searching for the interns. They stop near a tree where Rosalina starts talking about the dark zone before she is interrupted by Petey. He then flies away and Starlow tells the others that they have to find him. Goombella suggests that half of them go searching for him and half of them go searching for the interns to which the others agree. They decide that one group will consist of Goombella, Starlow, Kamek and Daisy while the other group will consist of Carl, Rosalina, Wario and Toadette. Starlow then asks them if they had another person after which Daisy says that they have her pet snail Lewie.

In the meantime, the Screaming Star Sprites stop at a rock where Mario declares himself to be the team's leader. Wendy who is still a block tries to say something but nobody understands her, so Mario tells her that she's better off as a block anyways.

Peach asks the others how they'll get to the interns, upon which Toadsworth says that the two of them shall sit on the rock and wait for the others to find it since he has to keep her safe. She tells him that she doesn't need to constantly be watched but he ignores her pleas. The group then starts leaving while Waluigi slowly shows up from behind the rock.

Peach then tells Toadsworth that she wishes he wouldn't worry about her all the time, upon which the group hears a shriek. In the meantime Goombella's team gets lost so she attempts to use her powers to find out where they are, though Kamek reminds her that she doesn't have any. The four then overhear Petey who has found a bunch of bananas. Daisy is excited about this while Starlow is upset. Goombella then says that the bananas could help them find the crate, much to Starlow's annoyance.

Meanwhile the Sprites are still wandering around, with Boo assuming that the case has already been found. Mario tells everyone that they need to come up with an idea, saying this moments before Peach which upsets Bowser as he is attracted to her. Peach is freaked out by this and uses her powers to throw Bowser on Mimi. Toadsworth declares the challenge to be too dangerous and tells her that they should aboard the challenge, though he changes his mind after Mario threatens to vote him off if he does so. Yoshi is in the meantime stalked by Birdo and prays so she wouldn't be able to touch him. Birdo is then crushed by a monster much to Yoshi's joy, although he is crushed himself moments later. The monster is killed by Rosalina, much to Toadette's dismay. Waluigi then shows up and tells his teammates that he can smell the interns due to his large nose. The Sprites reluctantly decide to follow him.

Toadette attempts to follow the Sprites but Rosalina stops her, saying that the path that they took will end in a disaster. She then tells her team that she senses cries for help beyond the Toadwood forest and orders her team to follow her. Back at Goombella's group, the Koopas are still searching for the interns, with Kamek annoyingly telling Daisy that no one cares about the bananas that they found. Petey and Daisy are upset by this and tell him that the banana king cares. Kamek spots the rest of the Koopas and regroups with them along with the rest of his group. The Sprites manage to find a crate but when Bowser opens it they only find golden coins much to their shock. The Koopas manage to find the interns and Toad declares them the winners. At the meshall, the Koopas are given a meal which Toad reveals to be reused food from the cancelled seasons. Starlow and Toadette then get into a fight when the former insults the latter's profession. Outside Daisy tells Kamek that she wants to go hunting, much to his confusion. She attempts to catch a bear that appears but he stops her, saddening both her and the nearby Petey. Elsewhere, Mario tells Peach and Yoshi to vote off Waluigi since he cost them the game, though the two are reluctant to do so as they see Mario as a manipulative freak, something which he doesn't deny.

At night, Mario meets up with Toadsworth and asks him if he was going to vote for him. Although Toadsworth is undecisive he tells him that some people were telling him that Mario can't be trusted. Mario then lies to him that Waluigi was planning to plant a bomb into Peach's food due to the fact that she wanted to vote him out, something which Toadsworth believes before he falls to the ground. Mario leaves him lying on the ground and tells him to convince the others to vote out Waluigi before he leaves.

Later on the Sprites attend the first elimination ceremony where Toad once again tells them about the elimination process. He then hands out the mushrooms to Boo, Mimi, Wendy, Peach, Yoshi, Bowser, Toadsworth and Birdo. Only Mario and Waluigi remain, with Toad saying that Mario is on the block for being untrustworthy in alliances although he was good at challenges, while Waluigi is on the block for being greedy and due to being considered to be poison to the team. He then hands out the final mushroom to Mario who is furious that he was in the bottom two during the first ceremony.

At the dock of shame, Toad tells Waluigi that due to budget cuts he can't blow him up. He then says that he had his interns build the Fling of Shame which is a giant catapult. Waluigi attempts to ask him if it has a sitbealt but before he can finish his sentence he is launched away. Toad then signs off the episode.
