'Til Death Do Us Part

**Season 2, Episode 51**

This is the fifty-first episode of Total Pokémon Action. The castmates' will to survive is put to the test through death traps. Last one standing wins. A castmate who was already planned to be a target pulls out the win and throws a wrench in their fellow castmates' plan. Following the challenge, one of the most dramatic turn of events happen as an alliance implodes on each other. The lack of unity results in one of them getting blindsided.

Instead of announcing the challenge, Jellicent says that it's going to be a surprise for the castmates which they are not happy with. The castmates are confused when they are taken to a warehouse, then Vespiquen gets impaled by a pole and dies. Everyone starts to panic, but Milotic says it looks like a prop. Gliscor takes a closer look and confirms that it isn't her. Jellicent finally announces that the movie of the day is Final Destination and that if they want to win immunity, they need to survive all of the pretend death traps. Vespiquen was the first victim. Next, the remaining castmates are suspended above the ocean being while being choked by rope. Purugly can't hang on any longer and is the next victim. Then, the ropes loosen and Pachirisu slips right out and into the water which has Sharpedos in it. But, she electrocutes the Sharpedos on her way down, so she survives. Floatzel isn't so lucky after he slips and is got by the Sharpedos. Next, the castmates find themselves in a minefield. They have to keep moving until someone is blown up. Gliscor questions what would happen with the pokémon who can fly and Jellicent welcomes back Bellossom for that very reason. She will throw bombs. Pachirisu quits the challenge to hang out with her friend Bellossom. The castmates move around until Dewgong blows up becoming the next victim. Then, the castmates find themselves in quicksand. Carnivine struggles, butMilotic's weight puts her at a huge disadvantage and she is the first to sink. The final six have to try not to freeze to death in ice water. Carnivine as a grass type quickly freezes. Next, they have to hang onto a moving plane. Gliscor's claws make it hard for him to hang on and he flies off. Then, they have to cross the street as a car tries to run them over. Houndoom crosses first. Zoroark takes her time knowing Ninetales was behind her, so Ninetales gets hit and Persian is allowed to pass. Then, they are in a factory waiting for something to happen when pipes fall down and crush Persian. Houndoom and Zoroark are faced with their last trap which is a poison gas filled room as everyone else watches. Both begin holding their breath and Houndoom tries to get Zoroark to let him win in exchange for voting out Ninetales. But, she shocks him when she admits that she knows he organized a plan for the guys to vote her out. He stopped holding his breath and passed out, granting Zoroark immunity. She threatened everyone watching not to cross her like Houndoom did.

The alliance of Carnivine, Dewgong, Houndoom, and Milotic gather to discuss a target. Houndoom suggests Ninetales since he already burned his bridge with her and he wants to make his alliance of Gliscor, Vespiquen, and Zoroark happy. But, Milotic sticks up for her ally because she doesn't care about making Zoroark happy. Dewgong points out that he's not going after Pachirisu. So, Houndoom throws Purugly under the bus to compromise and they all agree. Carnivine and Houndoom leave to spread the word. Houndoom fills Gliscor, Vespiquen, and Zoroark in on the plan to vote Purugly. Gliscor and Vespiquen agree to it, but Zoroark does not trust Houndoom. After he leaves, she storms off. Unfortunately for Vespiquen, Persian overheard the conversation and knows she was planning to betray him and Purugly. Persian tells Purugly what went down and they decide to target Gliscor since Houndoom is too connected and Gliscor leaving would at least make that alliance crumble. Persian runs to Dewgong and Milotic to convince them to vote Gliscor and win Houndoom's full trust back despite promising to not target Gliscor. Ninetales shows up after Persian leaves planning to vote Houndoom after he threw her name out. They don't tell her that Persian just came up with a plan to vote Gliscor. Carnivine gets Floatzel and Pachirisu on board with voting Purugly, then leaves and Purugly shows up. She threatens to tell Jellicent that they are hiding Bellossom on set, so they reluctantly agree to vote with her. It comes down to Houndoom, Purugly, and Gliscor at the awards ceremony as they were all targeted. But, the boys are confused when Purugly gets the next gilded jellicent. So, Houndoom and Gliscor remain and Gliscor gets the boot. Houndoom quickly figures out that Dewgong and Milotic had something to do with it and he is furious. They say goodbye to Gliscor.
