## Plot

### Before the Challenge

The episode starts with Dad Hat and Thermostat talking about politics. Out of nowhere, Dad Hat sees that Tetherball is dead and his corpse is lying right next to them. After a second of confusion, Mermaid Man appears in the scene and advertises the Cool Recovery Place, which they would use to bring back Tetherball. Mermaid Man would also reveal that he is a relative of Greg's and will be replacing him in this episode because he was sick. The machine would make a copy of Tetherball while still keeping his corpse intact. Piano would call all of the teams together and the challenge would be truth or dare. The twist is that if you choose to not do a truth or a dare, you die. Answering a truth or dare would reward your team with points.

### Challenge

ITILTS go up first. Since Mermaid Man is filling in for Greg, he goes first. His dare was to take a bath in a large cup of sweet tea. He would eventually do so and get his team 2 points. Literally The Sun would go up next, Instead of answering for the first little while, he would just repeat "it's literally the sun" over and over again. Piano would cave in and interpret this as a dare. His dare would be to say something other than "it's literally the sun". Literally The Sun would quickly respond with "no". This means that LTS is capable of saying words other than "it's literally the sun". He would've gotten 2 points for the team, but LTS starts speaking normally again after that, giving his team four points. LTS would go back to normal after that. Potato would go next. When asked truth or dare, Potato would just make a weird garbled noise. Piano would ask him what happened to his voice over the years, to which Potato would just respond with "I don't know." His dare would be to insult Mermaid Man. Potato would then call Mermaid Man fat. With a total of 8 points, Water Balloon would go next. Piano would ask if Water Balloon is fat. Water Balloon would say no, but since it wasn't the answer Piano wanted to hear, Water Balloon would get no points. Mermaid Man would start screaming that he's getting too old and his body is starting to contort. Piano brushes this aside and allows Lilac to go next. She would spend about 9 seconds not saying anything. At the very last second, she would say that she'll take the truth. Piano asks her who the ugliest person in the show is. After Mermaid Man would interrupt saying that it isn't him. Lilac would rebuttal by saying "obviously him", much to Mermaid Man's disappointment. ITILTS would end the challenge with 9 points.

COOL People would be the next team to start. Tetherball would go up first. Because of Tetherball's inability to speak, he doesn't choose any. Piano then kills him for not doing the challenge. Poster would go next but also refuses to do either, causing his death. Napkin would go next and immediately choose truth. When Piano asked "who is fat?", Napkin would respond with "you." Napkin would be brutally killed afterward. Since COOL People had most of their team not participating, Piano goes ahead and skips them and moves on to Dirty Cows.

Strawberry goes up right after Piano skips COOL People. Strawberry chooses "encyclopedia" instead of truth or dare. Piano responds by telling Strawberry to read every page of every encyclopedia ever made. Piano would skip Strawberry and go to Bedrock, instead asking "dare or dare". Slightly scared and confused, Bedrock would respond with "dare." much to Piano's surprise. Even though it was a dare, Piano asks why Bedrock's mouth isn't all the way colored. Bedrock doesn't give a proper answer but still gives him 2 points anyway. Muggy would go up next and mention that she now has the flu and would choose "truth the flu". Piano asks if she has the flu, to which Muggy would respond with "yes". Muggy would give her team automatic immunity after that, with Piano entirely skipping Timey and Toast.

Finally, Team Snap goes last. Piano would ask Spoon truth or dare. Spoon, similar to other contestants would choose something random instead of either a truth or a dare. This would cause Piano to brutally kill him similar to how he did with Napkin. Surprisingly. Spoon would come back to life but immediately die again. Cheez-It would go next but have an existential-crisis and start questioning everything. Piano would take this as a truth and would ask her who the ugliest person on Total Drama Island is. Cheez-It would respond with "Greg." immediately allowing the rest of their team to have immunity.

### Elimination

At the beginning of the elimination, Pickaxe would start to inform everyone that they are all being controlled and filmed by three humans and being put on a small YouTube channel. After that, the voting would begin. Dad Hat would vote for Poster, Pickaxe votes for Poster, Tetherball would be forced to vote Poster by Piano, Poster would vote for Dad Hat, and Napkin would vote for Poster. Sticky returns for the elimination results to give all of them donuts for the ones who were safe. This would start an argument between Pickaxe and Poster that ultimately goes nowhere. Poster would be eliminated with a record of 4 votes. Poster requests for all of them to sing him a song for his last goodbye. The song sucked so he just went to the C.O.C.E himself. He would be closed in by Literally The Sun for no reason.
