Hide and Be Sneaky

'''The campers play an extreme game of Hide and Seek with someone who hunts them down one by one with a huge water gun. Some campers start an alliance and others get caught. One camper's amazing hiding spot wins her invincibility. An unexpected player is voted off thanks to the new alliance.'''

Plot
As Lindsay enjoys the Grape-Tastic Pop from Heather's reward last-night, the only thing she's been craving on the island, Heather remarks on how LeShawna is going to pay for her clothes she shredded. Lindsay points out stealing Gwen's boyfriend was "pretty major". Heather then tells Lindsay to shut up, and she swipes the pop to take a drink. She immediately spits it out, questioning how Lindsay can "drink this sugar water" as she throws it away. In the confessional stall, Lindsay states Heather as her best friend on the island, even though she goes on to say Heather steals her food, borrows her clothes, and calls her names. Though she then states that is what best female friends are for. Heather then says in the confessional, "Who cares about friends? In this world there are shepherds and there are sheep, and Lindsay is a major sheep". Heather then imitates a sheep by baaing and using her fingers as horns on her head. Back to Lindsay in the stall, she states how she thinks Heather respects her and her strategical ideas. Finally, Heather states she has flip-flops with more brains than Lindsay, but says she is useful enough to keep close. Heather goes on to say that when she does not need Lindsay anymore, she'll dump her.

After Trent is voted off the island, Gwen goes into a temporary depression, but her spirits are lifted when LeShawna promises that they will get revenge on Heather. The final ten campers meet on the dock for their challenge, a game of hide and seek. Chris explains the rules as follows: "You have ten minutes to hide from Chef", "The lifeguard chair is home-base", "If he finds you, Chef will try to spray you", "If you escape his grasp, you can try to run to home-base", "But if he catches you on your way, he'll dowse you". Duncan sarcastically shows fear of being "splashed with water". Chris then asks Chef to demonstrate, and he starts to pump the water-gun in Duncan's face, but he turns around and sprays Chris instead. Chris, who was blown away by the blast, exclaims, "Not on me, dude!". Heather asks how they win the game, and Chris states they have three options: One; Don't get discovered in your hiding place, Two; Run to home-base before Chef blasts you, and Three; Once you've been caught, help Chef find other campers. Chris states if they do any of these, they win invincibility.

Once Chris gives everyone the go, they all scatter, except for Lindsay, who seems to be confused. Chris makes his way into the cabins where Lindsay is clearly seen hiding under the covers. Chris asks if she could do any better, and she remarks that she fooled him since the bunk she was hiding in wasn't even hers. He then calls for Chef, who kicks the door open, sending Lindsay into a screaming fit as she runs away from the cabins. LeShawna is then seen climbing the dock latter into the water, and she uses a plant as a breathing straw to hide. Lindsay is shown entering the bathrooms, and she hides in one of the stalls. Chris knocks on the stall, and it is clear Lindsay is still not hiding well. She runs once she realizes this, and Chris says she's a goner.

Owen slowly makes his way to a cave when Duncan pulls him in, shushing him to be quiet with Geoff and DJ there as well. Duncan realizes that there are more girls than guys and decides to make a guy's alliance with them. DJ points out the girls aren't getting along anyway. DJ and Owen are then seen waiting outside the bathroom for the girls to finish getting ready. As Heather and LeShawna are doing their make-up, Heather turns on the hot water and Gwen screams in the shower questioning who did it. Heather sarcastically says she is sorry, but after standing there a moment with LeShawna she is smacked to the floor, and the two start brawling inside the bathroom. DJ and Owen look to one-another humored by the girl's fight, but when the noises inside start to get more hectic, the two frighteningly walk away. Back in the cave, Geoff questions the alliance, as he and Bridgette hooked-up. Duncan continues to push for the alliance, but Owen says he still isn't sure. Duncan is then shown hanging Owen over a cliff, making him join the alliance out of fear. Duncan then lets Owen go, but it is seen Owen was a very short distance from the ground, being able to flip himself back to his feet. Back in the cave, DJ, Duncan, and Owen agree to the alliance, and though Geoff is still hesitant, he joins in. After Owen kisses Duncan and DJ, he slaps himself on the head, and the guys are told to clear out of the cave by Duncan as it is his hiding spot.

Izzy is seen following Chef around the island, posing as him exactly, and hiding only when he turns around. A squirrel is seen getting knocked out by an acorn that had just fallen from a tree. As the tree sways, Geoff is shown to be perched at the top, and a bird sits on his hat once he becomes still. Gwen covers herself in a blanket of grass and lays flat on the ground, camouflaged. A squirrel hops towards Gwen, but she punches it away. Izzy is seen following Chef around the island, still mimicking his every move and hiding when he turns around to look. DJ climbs the lodge roof, using it as a hiding spot. Owen does the same, though neither knows this when they do so as they both climb the opposite sides of the building. At the same time Heather is shown entering the lodge, and Lindsay, who was hiding behind a wooden pole, follows her inside. Bridgette seems to find a hiding spot, but her ankle snags a line of lighting from the campfire.

In Chef's kitchen, Lindsay peeks under the table and greets Heather. Surprised, Heather bumps her head as she gets out from under the table, and she tells Lindsay to find her own hiding place. Lindsay is clearly hurt by Heather's harsh remarks. Bridgette is then shown again, now having unknowingly pulled down all of the lines of lights from the pole with it snagged on her ankle. As Heather is still telling off Lindsay for trying to hide with her, Chef is seen switching on the light and laughs at the two's surprised faces. Heather quickly sacrifices Lindsay, pushing her into Chef so that she may escape his kitchen. Lindsay screams and he tries to grab her, but she runs out of the kitchen as well. The two scream as they run to the lifeguard chair, and LeShawna can be seen underwater hearing the screams above. From afar Chef pumps up the water-gun, aims, and shoots the two down, making them the first losers of the challenge.

Chef searches the lodge, looking in the fireplace even. Suddenly he hears a sneeze, and as he looks to the ceiling, Izzy can be seen hiding in the rafters. She quickly jumps down, landing on Chef's face as she leaps off doing a flip to the ground. Chef then throws away his gun and the two stare each-other down preparing for combat. The two engage in a hand-to-hand battle, and after a round of punches Izzy is sent sliding back by Chef. After wiping her mouth, she strikes a fighting pose and signs for him to come at her. Chef heavily charges at her and the two begin sending blows again. Izzy dodges one of Chef's punches as she leaps into the air in slow motion. She says, "Bye bye!", and kicks him in the face. Izzy then leaps out the lodge window, exclaiming, "You'll never get me alive!". Chef kicks open the door and follows her towards the dock as Heather and Lindsay follow. Izzy slides to the lifeguard chair, and though she came close, Chef fires water at the dock in front of her and she slides past the chair into the water. Izzy sits underwater displeased with her loss, but once she sees LeShawna, Izzy agrees to keep her hiding spot a secret.

Bridgette is shown hiding behind a large rock, still with the line of campfire lights wrapped around her ankle. She smells something, and turns around to spot a family of skunks. Afraid, she backs away from them, but the line gets caught on a large canister above. It pulls down the pole it is attached to, sending the canister down a large drop, landing it right next to the skunks. As the skunks are startled, they all spray Bridgette, who screams, and is then spotted by Chef. With a glove on a stick, Chef taps her on the shoulder while wearing a flu mask to protect himself from the stench. He points out that he doesn't have to spray Bridgette, but she begs him, and he quickly does. The water sends the skunks away on the canister, and soaks Bridgette completely. At first the stench goes away, but quickly comes back much to Bridgette's dismay.

Owen and DJ then find each other on the roof of the lodge, and they fight over who was there first. With both being big guys, they fall through the roof and are soon found by Heather and Lindsay. Though Lindsay suggests they both use one each to get invincibility, Heather tells her to find her own. Izzy and Bridgette follow Chef in a line, who steps on Gwen as she was still hiding under her grass camouflage, causing her capture. Heather walks up stating she found Owen and DJ, giving her invincibility. With Owen, DJ, Gwen, Bridgette, Lindsay, and Izzy, Chef kicks the tree Geoff is hiding in. As he falls down, the campers flinch as they hear Geoff slamming into various branches on his painful drop to the bottom.

Chef checks the wind, sniffs around, and even licks the ground to track down Duncan. He then finds one of the dyed, neon green hairs from Duncan's mohawk. While the group attempts to find Duncan, Owen accidentally spills the guy's alliance to Gwen. As Owen is so upset she simply pats him on the head saying, "Wow, I really had to drag that out of you", sarcastically. Chef is then shown carrying Duncan out of the cave by his neck while he kicks his legs around as he can't reach the ground. Geoff points out that's everyone, but Owen remarks on how LeShawna is still missing. With all of the campers found except LeShawna, Chef realizes the only place she could be is in the water. When they arrive at the dock, LeShawna is already seen sitting in the lifeguard chair, winning herself immunity along with Heather. Chef nods in approval of Leshawna's skillful victory, and Chris announces it's time to kick someone off the island.

After the game, the girls have a meeting. Bridgette stays outside because of the skunk stench. They realize to save themselves, they must vote as a group. Bridgette suggests Duncan for the fact he's mean enough that she'd tell him to his face. Gwen and LeShawna agree, but Heather thinks it should be Owen for the fact he is creepily happy. Lindsay agrees but Izzy points out that Owen is the nicest guy on the island along with the fact he plays a mean game of Canasta. Heather remarks on how it is an elimination game and not a dance, and goes on to ask Izzy to vote with she and Lindsay as they'd be like best female friends. Izzy openly accepts, but LeShawna points out that Heather would just dump her after the vote, and even Lindsay states this to be true. Heather jabs Lindsay with her elbow, spilling Lindsay's limited edition nail-polish, causing Lindsay to question their friendship for the first time. Heather asks Gwen and LeShawna if they're with her, and as they shake their heads in disagreement and Bridgette shouts no from outside, she leaves the room stating, "Fine. Then let the chips, fall where they may".

Meanwhile, the guys agree to vote off Bridgette for being likable and the good at sports. Geoff disagrees, and he suggests to vote Heather off because of having dirt on everyone. Duncan points out they can't because she earned invincibility. Duncan then states they might not get another chance. DJ and Owen vote for Bridgette, and, much to his protest, Geoff agrees. At the ceremony it comes down to Owen, Bridgette, and Duncan, all having racked up a number of votes. Owen gets his marshmallow, which leaves Bridgette and Duncan. It is Duncan who gets the final marshmallow and Bridgette is voted off the island, much to everyone's shock, even Chris'. Before Bridgette leaves, Geoff confesses to her that he didn't vote her off, even though this angers Duncan. They almost kiss except he recoils at the last second because of her skunk stench. He then simply waves her good-bye from afar, though she is clearly hurt by this. As the guys tell each-other good-night, Geoff is shown hanging upside down outside, roped up in a sleeping bag.

Quotes
Lindsay: Well, you did steal Gwen's boyfriend. That's pretty major. Heather: Shut up! Lindsay: Heather is my best friend on the island. I mean, sure she steals my food and borrows my clothes and call me names but that's what BFF's are for: Best Female Friends! Heather: Who cares about friends? In this world, there are shepherds and there are sheep and Lindsay is a major sheep. Baaaaaaah! Lindsay: I think she really respects me and my strategical ideas. Heather: I've got flip-flops with more brains than her but hey, she's useful right now, so I'll keep her close. And when I don't need her anymore, I'll dump her. Chris: Why don't you demonstrate, Chef? (Chef gets his water gun ready and blasts the left side including Chris, while he has been blasted a mile away) NOT ON ME, DUDE! Chris: Lindsay, couldn't you do better than hiding under your covers? Lindsay: Fooled you. This isn't even my bunk. Chris: Oh, Chef Hatchet...! (Chef Hatchet bursts through the door, with a very angry look on his face) Lindsay: YAAAAAAH!!! (quickly zips out of the bed and runs outside) Lindsay: Who's there? Chris: The entire viewing world. Lindsay: The entire viewing world who? (Owen kisses DJ once and Duncan multiple time, then the two back away, disgusted) Owen: Ugh! (slaps his forehead) Duncan: All right, now clear out! Geoff: What? Duncan: I was here first; this is my hiding spot! Izzy: Oops! Guess you heard that, huh? DJ: What are you doing in my hiding spot, man? Owen: Your hiding spot? It's mine! (the roof seems to be losing its weight upon Owen) Do you know how hard it took for me to get up here? DJ: (the roof loses its weight upon him) Look, I know we're tight and all, but... (before he can answer, the roof breaks, DJ falls through the roof of the dining hall) Aah! Owen: Ah! DJ, are you okay? (the roof breaks, Owen falls through the roof of the dining hall) Aah! (after falling through the roof of the dining hall) Owwww, I landed on my keys! Lindsay: Okay, that was a limited edition. I am never gonna get that nail polish back. I'm starting to think that maybe Heather isn't such a nice person after all... Duncan: Because we can't; she's got invincibility again. Besides, everyone likes Bridgette, and she's great at sports. We might not get another chance, dude. All in favor of booting Bridgette? (DJ and Owen vote with Duncan) That settles it. Here's to the Guys' Alliance! (looks to Geoff, who has not voted) Geoff? (Geoff reluctantly joins hands with his alliance-mates) Owen: Okay! Okay! We'll form our own alliance! (Duncan drops Owen and Owen lands perfectly) Owen: (nervous) Wow Duncan, Juvy made you a really scary dude.
 * Heather: I cannot believe LeShawna shredded my clothes! She is so going to pay for this.
 * (in the confessional stall)
 * Duncan: (seeing Chef with his water gun, sarcastically) Oooh, we're gonna get splashed by a bit of water. Now I'm terrified.
 * (Chris goes to the Screaming Gophers' cabin)
 * Chris: Knock-knock.
 * Chris: You're gonna have to do a lot better than that if you want to avoid capture.
 * Owen: I am so psyched! A dude's alliance! I love it! It's so manly! Yeah! Come here!
 * Chef Hatchet: This is my kitchen! Otherwise known as "Forbidden Territory!"

Trivia

 * Title Reference: This episode title is a parody reference to the childhood game, Hide and Seek.
 * With Bridgette's elimination, every female member of the Killer Bass has been eliminated. The three other Bass members (Duncan, Geoff and DJ) were all guys (not counting the switch between Izzy and Katie).
 * The campers in the confessional for this episode were Lindsay and Heather.
 * When Bridgette is eliminated, she seems to be really sad. Yet she stated in her audition tape she would "leave with her head held high." But, on the other hand, that was before she met Geoff.
 * Interestingly there was only one boy from the Screaming Gophers (Owen) and one girl from the Killer Bass (Bridgette) in the final ten campers.
 * The final marshmallow went to Duncan in this episode.
 * Izzy might have given LeShawna a freebie, because she is the only one who found out where LeShawna was hiding. If Izzy won invincibility, then she must of located someone other than LeShawna because she was the only one who Chef did not find. However, she may have not sold out LeShawna because they were (or at least Izzy thought) good friends and Izzy may have avoided getting voted off because no one really thought she was a threat.
 * If there were three votes against Owen (Heather, Lindsay and Izzy), three votes against Duncan (Gwen, LeShawna and Bridgette) and three votes against Bridgette (Duncan, Owen and DJ), then Geoff would have been the deciding vote. Geoff says he didn't vote for Bridgette, but for her to be voted out, he must have or else it would have been a tie. It is likely one or two of the girls voted her off thinking she wouldn't be eliminated, Lindsay may have decided not to vote for Owen because of Heather's actions, and Izzy may not have wanted to risk Owen's elimination, meaning that Lindsay and/or Izzy may have voted for Bridgette to make up Geoff's mystery vote. (However in the next episode, it is revealed that Geoff did vote Bridgette out. He is seen having a crying fit in the confessional.)
 * This is the fifth known romantic duo (Geoff and Bridgette) to be split up. The first couple was Tyler and Lindsay in Phobia Factor. The second was Duncan and Courtney in Basic Straining. The third was Harold and LeShawna in X-Treme Torture. The fourth was Trent and Gwen in Search and Do Not Destroy.
 * Everybody's hiding spots in this episode are:
 * Duncan: A cave.
 * LeShawna: Underwater.
 * Gwen: Under a grass cover.
 * Owen and DJ: On the roof.
 * Izzy: Behind Chef; then on the ceiling.
 * Lindsay: Anywhere (until she finds Heather and hides with her).
 * Heather: Chef's kitchen.
 * Geoff: The top of a tree.
 * Bridgette: Behind a rock.
 * Lindsay begins to question her role as Heather's BFF (Best Female Friend) in this episode.
 * The remaining guys in the competition form a Guy's Alliance in this episode after realizing the girls outnumbered them.
 * In this episode, Izzy fights Chef, making her the first to do so. This is also the start of a small running gag of Izzy and Chef dueling (which is continued in Alien Resurr-eggtion). Duncan also fought Chef in Hook, Line, and Screamer (though he was wearing his psycho killer outfit).
 * LeShawna wins solo-invincibility for the second time.
 * Every Camper (except for the ones that were still on the ceremony seats) seemed so shocked that Bridgette was eliminated (even Heather). This is odd seeing as how DJ, Duncan and Owen must have voted against her and there must've been others who had to vote against Bridgette in order for her to be eliminated. However, it is possible that they did not expect it to happen.
 * Duncan was perfectly calm during the ceremony where he could have been eliminated (whereas Owen and Bridgette were holding their breath when it came down to the final two marshmallows).
 * Heather also wins invincibility for the second consecutive time. If a camper found another camper, they would win invincibility. Heather could have shared it with Lindsay (but didn't), as Lindsay was with Heather at the time and they found DJ and Owen at the same time.
 * This is the second time Chef is in charge of a challenge. The first time was in Basic Straining.
 * This is the fifth episode in a row where skunks appear.
 * Owen's line "Owwww I landed on my keys" could be a possible reference to the scene in Wayne's World when Garth Algar and the others are crawling in the grass and Garth says "Hey guys wait up. I fell on my keys".
 * This is the first episode in which two campers won invincibility, excluding when teams were still around, meaning an entire team was invincible.
 * This is the second episode in which Izzy screams her infamous line, "You'll never get me alive!". The first time is in Up The Creek.
 * The strength of the Water Gun was changed throughout the episode.
 * When Chef Hatchet hit Chris McLean, he was pushed very far back away.
 * When Chef Hatchet hit Heather and Lindsay, it was enough to make them fall down, but they did not get pushed back.
 * When Chef Hatchet hit Bridgette, she didn't even move at all.
 * However, it is very likely possible that Chef can control how much power is put into the Water Gun.
 * This is the first episode written by Tom McGillis.
 * When Izzy is hiding from Chef on the ceiling it is a reference to Kill Bill.

Goofs

 * Izzy actually was never sprayed; she slid into a puddle made by the gun (though this must have counted since she was seen shortly after following the others who were captured).


 * When Heather and Lindsay get caught by Chef, they are sitting by the mess hall. DJ already is on the roof but he is not seen on it.


 * After Izzy sneezes (and Chef spots her) she is wiping her nose and her wristband is missing, yet in the very next scene it is back on. The wristband is also on the wrong wrist while she is flipping through the air (though it appears on the usual wrist right after).


 * When the girls are in the shower and Gwen screams, "Who turned the hot water on?!", the episode's close captioning says that it was said by Nikki. However, there is no Nikki in the show (though there is a Nikki in 6teen which was made by the same creators of the show and resembles Gwen in many ways).


 * When Bridgette was tip-toeing to a hiding spot with the decoration cord tied to her ankle and during Chris' line "I love this show.", her ponytail was in the wrong spot.


 * When Heather is holding up her shredded shirt, it actually looks more like a t-shirt, instead of the tank top she usually wears.


 * Geoff's hat did not fall off when he was hung upside down to sleep.


 * Bridgette, DJ, and Geoff are running side by side, in that order when Chef and them run to get LeShawna. However when they show them again, the order is Bridgette, Geoff, and then DJ. It is possible that DJ ran in front of Geoff.


 * When Chris is doing the recap, he says Heather won Invincibility for the "umpteenth" time, but it was really the first time she won solo-invincibility.
 * Owen tells DJ that it was very hard to get on top of the roof despite the fact Owen managed to get on it instantly.
