Recap


The episode opens up with Team Chris Is Really Really Really Really Hot and DJ enjoying their night in first-class. DJ talks about his new good luck charm Irene, the cod he kissed in Newf Kids on the Rock that had an Egyptian symbol on it, painted on by Alejandro. Izzy quickly reclines in her chair, accidentally kicking Owen in the groin in the process, causing him to curl up in pain. The scene switches to Team Amazon complaining about being in the economy-class section of the plane. The scene goes back to first class, and Owen talking to Noah about his plan to break-up with Izzy. When Chris walks through the first-class section of the plane, Alejandro asks if DJ, being the last member of Team Victory, could join Team Chris Is Really Really Really Really Hot, but Chris doesn't allow it. DJ assures Alejandro that he'll be okay.

While flying to Jamaica, Chris and Chef discover that the Total Drama Jumbo Jet is out of gas, and it begins to descend. Izzy grabs a parachute and jumps from the plane, but leaves the door open, causing Owen to be sucked out behind her. Owen and Izzy safely land on a sandy beach, only to have the plane crush them both. Owen and Izzy are taken away in an ambulance, while the contestants question why all the money was spent already. At the medical tent, Owen stands by Izzy's bed fearing that she's dead, only for Izzy to wake up and reveal that she's come up with a "mathematical equation for infinite time travel." The remaining contestants are in their bathing suits on the edge of a cliff with Chris, as he explains the challenge; teammates must tag each other, then one at a time dive into the lake and look for Chef's gold karaoke chains, while looking out for electric eels and sharks.

Tyler, Cody, and DJ are the first people to jump. DJ can't get underwater due to wearing a floatie on his shoulders. Cody is grabbed by the shark and repeatedly punched in the face. Tyler explains in the confessional he can't see well underwater, and then mistakes an eel for the gold chains. Cody runs back to the top of the cliff and tags Heather. Before she dives, Alejandro compliments Heather, distracting her and causing her to fall and belly-flop. Tyler runs to the top of the cliff, but jumps off again, not tagging Alejandro or Noah. Heather goes back to the top of the cliff and tags Sierra who does a cannonball, causing water to splash her teammates and land an electric eel on Courtney's head. DJ goes to the top of the cliff, but accidentally kicks Irene off the cliff. He jumps off the cliff and catches his fish. Gwen jumps next for Team Amazon, and finds the gold chains, but is shocked by several electric eels as she surfaces. Alejandro steals the chains from Gwen as he carries her to shore, but Heather steals the chains from Alejandro and brings them to Chris, winning part one of the challenge for Team Amazon.

Gwen is brought to the medical tent, where she and Owen chat. Izzy is writing a long mathematical equation on the wall. Owen reveals that, according to the doctor, the plane crushing Izzy destroyed a blockage in her brain. Members of the army come to take Izzy away. Owen wonders out loud why he wanted to break up with her, but Izzy says they are "incompatible" and "the relationship must end," and is then taken away by the army. Back at the beach, Chris reveals that Team Amazon's advantage for the second challenge is helmets. For the challenge, two members of each team (minus DJ, who will go alone each team) ride a long board down Chef's track and into the empty pool, for three rounds, and whichever team has the shortest time wins. Chris takes advantage of Owen being sad by making him and Gwen sing.

Cody, Sierra, Tyler, Alejandro, and DJ are the first people to do the long board challenge. Alejandro tells DJ that with Irene he'll be unstoppable, but Tyler scolds him for being nice to another team. Owen runs to the pool, revealing that he's okay to compete. Cody and Sierra go first and complete the course in 47.36 seconds. Alejandro and Tyler go next, and get 58.49 seconds. DJ is the last one to go for the first round and gets the best time, 45.01 seconds. Courtney and Heather, Noah and Owen, and DJ are the teams for round two. Courtney and Heather get a time of 56.28 seconds, and Noah and Owen get 55.16 seconds. DJ beats his own record, completing the track in 44.37 seconds. While the original teams wait in line for round three, Alejandro loudly tells Tyler that the symbol on Irene was painted on by him. DJ overhears the conversation, and is crushed.

Sierra and Cody complete the course with a time of 53.41 seconds and a total time of two minutes, thirty-seven seconds. Alejandro and Tyler get 41.09 seconds and a total time of two minutes, thirty-five seconds. While going down the course, Alejandro punched one of the boards, breaking it. DJ leaves Irene behind on his last run. While riding the long board down the track, DJ nearly runs over seagulls on the track, and a huge walrus. DJ goes over the board Alejandro broke, and is launched into the air. Chris calls the run incomplete, meaning Team Chris Is Really Really Really Really Hot wins and DJ loses. DJ ends up taking the Drop of Shame, a short drop because the plane is still on the beach. After he lands he gets attacked by a colony of red ants and Chris signs off the episode.
