Search and Do Not Destroy

'''The campers are off on a scavenger hunt and one camper does something so horrible, that it makes another person cry. LeShawna tells everybody to vote the snob off. Apparently, a different camper is voted off.'''

Recap
The episode opens with Gwen and Trent hanging out together by the dock. Gwen is sitting against a tree, sketching. Trent, who had just climbed out of the water and onto the dock, asked Gwen what she was drawing, which makes Gwen bashfully hides her sketch pad from him, as it is shown by a hidden camera to be a picture of Trent. Gwen is then shown in the confessional, claiming that she “absolutely positively does not have a crush on Trent”. She says she is over him and begins to say that she was only in to him for a week or two, obviously lying, but gives up after only a fraction of the sentence. Chris, in a pirate costume, is then shown firing a canon then quickly covering his ears. The canon hits his intended destination, LeShawna’s trailer, which she had been relaxing in front of. He then announces that all campers need to report to the amphitheater for their next challenge in a stereotypical pirate accent.

The campers then are shown entering the amphitheater, including LeShawna, who is dragging her charred luggage behind her. Chris then, still in the pirate costume and way of speaking, begins to speak about the challenge, saying that it will be a “good, old-fashioned, treasure hunt”. Gwen moans at the idea, while Chris continues on. He explains that that treasure hunt “has a twist” as what they’re looking for isn’t hidden and isn’t treasure, which provokes Duncan to ask why he is dressed like a pirate if there is no treasure. Chris tells him that he had a good question, and then he continues to explain that they will be looking for keys to treasure chests, which contain rewards. He then invites them up to pull clues out of a bucket, which is held out by Chef.

The campers do so, while Chris explains that the clues they pick will have a drawing that gives them a hint to where the clue is hidden. Owen reveals that he had picked out the clue containing a picture of a bear, something he is intimidated by, to which Chris says that he had been hoping Owen would get that one. Chris then looks at Heather’s clue, which is of Chef’s refrigerator. Chris then tells her that Chef brushes it everyday for fingerprints, which makes Heather also look intimidated. Geoff is looking at his drawing, which Chris reveals to be of the septic tank for the communal washrooms. Chris then tells the group as a whole to go find their keys and return with them by “6:00 pm, eastern standard time”. The campers then disperse.

Heather is then seen in the confessional, wondering who came up with the “stupid challenge” and also mentioning to Chris that, in her opinion, pirate tights are not flattering for his legs. Owen is then shown in the confessional, excited over the challenge, although he does admit the bears are “a little concerning”, though he seems to excited over the treasure to dwell over it too much. Next, Trent is shown working on retrieving his key from the man-eating shark-infested lake. He manages to lure the sharks away from the post where the key is, before diving into the lake and quickly retrieving it. He exits the lake and calls his challenge “too easy”, while Gwen, who has been watching nervously the entire time, smiles and blushes. Meanwhile, Heather is attempting to remove her key from Chef’s refrigerator. She enters the kitchen nervously and walks over to the fridge, attempting to open it without being noticed. Once the door is ajar, she finds Chef, holding an exceptionally large knife, inside, looking at her menacingly. She slowly closes the door, frightened and shocked, and walks out of the kitchen.

Gwen is then shown, attempting to remove her key from a skunk hole. She looks at it from a distance, covering her nose and moaning at the prospect of having to deal with the skunks. Trent then walks up next to her asking if she is okay. She replies that skunks “totally freak her out”, to which Trent replies with an offer to help her, as he already has his key. She says that her challenge is “practically impossible”, before Trent has the idea of pouring water down the hole and flushing him out. Gwen then asks if skunks can swim, and when Trent responds positively, she responds with a dreamy “cool.” The couple then smiles at each other, happily.

Meanwhile, Lindsay is shown helping Heather complete her challenge by lowering her by rope into Chef’s kitchen. Heather manages to slip down without being noticed, even with Chef sleeping near by, and grab her key. She is then slowly being pulled back up on the rope, when a bug lands on Lindsay's chest and crawls on her,it tickles her and she lets the rope slip. Heather screams in shock, and ends up dropping her key, which she barely manages to grab again, before she and Lindsay regain control over the rope. Surprisingly, Chef was not awakened by this outburst, and Heather was able to exit the kitchen and keep the key in her possession.

Trent and Gwen are then shown, putting Trent’s plan to flush the skunks out of their hole into action, laughing together while doing so. Their plan works perfectly, allowing Gwen to remove her key from the whole, and for them to again smile at each other. Gwen is then shown in the confessional, saying that it was “moderately cool” for Trent to have helped her, acting like it was not a big deal to her and saying he was “okay”. She then back tracks when the flies in the confessional ask her to tell them more and excitedly she says that he is “more than okay” and that he is “so incredible”. But then says to the flies to not tell anyone she said that. Trent is shown in the confessional following her, saying that Gwen being “so smart and independent” and “incredible to look at” is making him nuts, and adds that she “rocks his world” and that he would help her any day.

They then show Gwen and Trent standing together near the skunk hole, still smiling at each other. Gwen then quickly runs up to Trent and kisses him, making him look very surprised. Chris then pauses the tape during Gwen and Trent’s kiss, calling it a “trust-building, heart-warming, moment” before questioning if he “sees tongue” in their kiss. The tape then continues, with Gwen and Trent smiling at each other and walking away. The camera then zooms out to show Heather, with Lindsay beside her, looking on angrily. Heather is then seen in the confessional, claiming that ‘Boyfriend-Girlfriend’ is “just another way of saying alliance”, and claims that her alliance will be the only one in the competition. Lindsay is shown in the confessional next, although she has seemingly forgotten that she is in the confessional, and is using the toilet and putting on lipstick while a huge swarm of flies lazily buzz around her butt saying we love you.

Meanwhile, Duncan is shown completing his challenge fairly easily, as all he is required to do is retrieve his key from a flaming hoop, which seems to be a minor task for him. DJ is then shown climbing a tree, attempting to remove his key from where it is tied on one of the branches, without much success. Geoff is shown next, inside the communal bathrooms, where he is putting on a snorkel and stepping into the toilet, in an effort to begin his search of the septic tank. Lindsay is shown after Geoff, looking towards the beehive in which she is supposed to retrieve her key. Izzy then joins her and silently offers to help, walking towards the beehive. She returns several seconds later holding the key, but covered in bees, which then begin to chase Lindsay. the bees then fly onto her skirt and form a heart.Lindsay blushes and then makes out with the mob of bees, while Izzy wishes her luck. Owen is then shown attempting to confront the bear who posses a key around his neck. While trying to quickly remove the key, the sleeping bear then forces Owen to become stuck next to it, when it wraps its arm around him.

Izzy is shown next, trying to talking to the snake which she needs to obtain her key from. She begins to tell it how cute it is when it bites her on the head, which leads her to call it “feisty”. When the snake’s bite causes her to fall to the ground, Heather walks up next to her saying that there is “no time for that now” as they need to have an alliance meeting. Heather and Izzy are then shown meeting a lipstick-covered Lindsay on the dock. Heather tells the others that they need to break up Trent and Gwen, and she begins telling Lindsay to write a letter to Gwen.

Meanwhile, LeShawna is shown confronting her challenge, in which she needs to obtain her key from a glass, which is located under a rickety bridge and between two vicious-looking crocodiles. Then, Lindsay is shown walking into the Gopher cabin, holding the not the note to Gwen. She places it on Gwen’s bunk, but then hears Gwen outside the cabin, leading her to hastily hide underneath the bed. While Gwen reads the note, telling her to “meet Trent at the dock of shame for a little surprise”, flies build up on Lindsay, leading her to, as soon as Gwen leaves the cabin, run out laughing. Later, Heather and Lindsay are seen meeting behind the communal washrooms, while Geoff cries for help in his search for his key. Heather reminds Lindsay of their plan, telling her to lead Trent to her then watch for Gwen. Lindsay replies that she can be counted on.

Heather is then shown impatiently waiting on the dock, claiming that she “knew she couldn’t trust Lindsay”. Then, Trent is lead by Lindsay to the dock, where Heather quickly begins to fake cry. Trent walks over to her and asks what is wrong. She replies that Gwen has been “so mean to her” and that she “doesn’t get why”. Trent then replies that Gwen is just hard to get to know. Heather then wonder out-loud why he is defending her, as she says “horrible things about him”. Trent is shocked as Heather continues to tell him that Gwen “really can’t stand him”, and says that Gwen thinks “his music sucks” and that she is using him to get further in the competition. Trent believes Heather lies, and admits that he had though that him and Gwen has a real connection.

Meanwhile, Gwen is approaching the dock, and Lindsay sees her quickly attempting to give Heather “the signal”. Heather does not hear her, and continues to tell Trent that he is “too nice for her to let him get used by Gwen”. Lindsay then attempts to notify Heather again, which this time she hears. Heather then tells Trent that she thinks he is “really talented” and kisses him. Trent appears angry and shocked at first, but then closes his eyes just as Gwen sees them. Gwen quickly flees the scene, dropping and stomping on the card that was left for her. As a result of this Gwen broke down into tears when she saw it. Trent, meanwhile, breaks the kiss between him and Heather, and hits himself on the forehead in frustration, walking away.

Trent and Gwen are then both shown, on different parts of the island, letting out screams and cries of anger and frustration. Gwen is then seen in the confessional shouting “traitor” then beginning the sentence “I though we had…” but she is cut off, and Trent is shown in the confessional, picking up where she left off with “…something real” then saying he was wrong to think such. Meanwhile, Owen is shown still attempting to free himself from the bear, without success, as the bear wakes up in the process.

Then, Gwen is shown crying into a pillow, when LeShawna walks into the cabin, holding her key, and questioning what is wrong. Gwen then tells her the story about what occurred between her, Trent, and Heather. LeShawna is then shown, running from the cabin, saying Heather is “so off the island”. LeShawna is then shown telling the remainder of the players who would listen what happened between Heather and Trent. She consults Geoff, who then says in the confessional that he can’t believe what happened, DJ, Duncan, and Bridgette. Chris is heard shortly afterward, announcing to the campers that it is time to return to the campfire. LeShawna is then shown in the confessional saying that she has “done her part” and that “either way one of them is history”.

The campers are then shown at the campfire. Geoff is shown with visible odor fumes, as he had spent hours snorkeling in the septic tank, while Izzy still has the snake on her head, which continues to bite her. Chris, still in costume, tells them that it is time to claim their rewards from the chests. The campers with keys then walk forward and open up a chest. Duncan receives chips and a soda, to which he asks if that is the best they can do, and Chris replies by nodding. Owen is then shown, not able to open any chests with his key, which angers him. He then requests they do something about the bear, which, at that point, had the majority of Owen’s body in its mouth. They then tranquilize the bear and, accidentally, Owen. Gwen is then shown looking over the toaster she had received, while Heather pulled out a gift basket with an ‘Invincibility card’ included in it, earning her many glares from DJ and Bridgette. Trent is then shown receiving two bottles of, presumably, soda, but when he turns around, LeShawna is glaring at him, holding her oddly-shaped lamp, while Lindsay, holding an accordion, bites her lip. Geoff is then shown receiving ‘Cleaver body spray’, which Chris claims “cuts through the stink”.

Then, Chris says he hopes the campers found the treasure they were looking for, and more, but then mentions that it is the time to vote someone off the island. LeShawna is then shown in the confessional, saying that it looks like Trent is going home. Owen is then seen in the confessional, still under the effects of the tranquilizer, voting for Trent. Duncan then says, in the confessional that he “messed up”. Bridgette then, also in the confessional says that he “leaves them no choice”. Trent is then shown in the confessional talking about how hard it is to vote someone off, as he felt like he had so many friends there. Lindsay is then shown; again peeing and farting in the toilet, about to kiss the huge swarm of flies while putting on lipstick and about to take her bra and panties off but this time realizes her mistake and quickly covers her chest with her hands while the huge swarm of flies land and buzz on her exposed butt. Heather is then shown in the confessional, talking about how she is “really getting into the game”.

Later, the campers are shown at the campfire ceremony. Chris, after explaining the circumstances, quickly passes out the marshmallows, to all but Trent, who doesn’t notice he is lacking one, until there are none left. Chris then tells him he is leaving, making Trent shocked, while LeShawna tells him to take his “two timing ways” off the island. Trent then says that he was getting along so well with everyone, before Heather told him, without a hint of remorse, that he must have been wrong. Gwen then accuses her of not caring, to which Heather replies that she is “just playing the game”. Trent then asks her why she cares, saying that he heard she thought he was cliché, which they then also tracked down to Heather’s doing. Gwen then admits that she didn’t vote him off, despite what he did. Trent then asks why he was being voted out, to which LeShawna admits fault. They then realize that they were played, greatly upsetting Gwen. Trent then tells her that it’s okay, and asks if ‘’they’’ are still okay, to which Gwen replies yes. Trent then gives her a pep talk and they attempt to kiss again, before Chris intervenes. After a sad goodbye for all but Heather, Heather leaves to go take a shower. In an effort to get back at Heather, LeShawna rearranges the shower’s pipes, leading to Heather getting covered in sewage. Heather then screams and the camera zooms out, thus ending the episode as LeShawna walks away.

 * All dialog edits for this episode can be found on the Edits page.


 * The final marshmallow went to Owen in this episode.


 * All of the remaining campers were seen in the Confessional stall for this episode except for DJ and Izzy.


 * Here is a list of every camper and what they had to do to earn their key:
 * Owen: His key was attached to a bear. He needed to sneak in and get his key without awaking the bear.
 * Lindsay: Her key was in a bee hive. Izzy got her key for her.
 * Heather: She needed to sneak in Chef Hatchet's kitchen to obtain her key. Lindsay helped her obtain it during Chef's nap.
 * Gwen: Her key was in a skunk hole. Trent helped her out by getting the skunk out of the hole.
 * LeShawna: Her key was in the center of two vicious alligators guarding it.
 * Duncan: Between the flaming hoop. He easily takes it, using his resourceful skills he learned at juvenile hall.
 * Izzy: Guarded by a snake. She easily grabs it and doesn't mind the snake biting and poisoning her.
 * DJ: His key was on a tree branch. He did not retrieve his key due to his fear of heights.
 * Bridgette: Her key was guarded by a bunny. She did not retrieve it due of being scared of the bunny's vicious teeth.
 * Geoff: His key was in the septic tank for the communal washrooms. He went inside (with a snorkel) to retrieve his key.

 * Izzy: A snake bite kit.
 * Lindsay: An accordion.
 * Trent: Bottles of soda.
 * Gwen: A toaster.
 * DJ and Bridgette did not retrieve their keys and thusly received nothing.
 * Owen's key did not unlock any of the chests. Therefore, he was rewarded with nothing, but the Bear that was trying to devour him was tranquilized so that Owen could escape. Accidentally, Owen was tranquilized as well.


 * Izzy technically acquired two keys; she got her own key from the snake and seemed to keep the key she got while trying to help Lindsay (though she gave it back to her eventually, since Lindsay was seen getting her own treasure).


 * Bridgette almost didn't have any lines in this episode, except screaming when she saw the bunny's teeth and when she voted for Trent, by saying "You leave us no choice." in the confessional stall. Similar to Leshawna in Phobia Factor.


 * The bunny Bridgette had to get through is a parody of | Monty Python and the Holy Grail, it has large razor sharp teeth like the killer bunny in the original movie.


 * With Trent's elimination, Owen is now the only male camper from the Screaming Gophers left in the competition. The other remaining men are from the Killer Bass.


 * Running Gag: Lindsay is in the confessional stall, actually using the toilet instead of talking about what is on her mind while not noticing the camera is still on.


 * This is the second time that Geoff had been stricken with a repulsive, lingering stench. The first instance was in X-Treme Torture.


 * The Trailer that LeShawna won in No Pain, No Game is blown up by Chris with his cannon in this episode.


 * Trent and Gwen confirm their mutual interest in each other with a kiss in this episode.


 * After Gwen thinks that Trent is a traitor, LeShawna forms her own temporary alliance with nearly everyone on camp in order to get either Heather or Trent eliminated.


 * This is the second time Heather targets Gwen's feelings and uses them to her advantage. The first time is in Not Quite Famous. This time, she tricks both Gwen and Trent.


 * Izzy is now in Heather's alliance (though she does not seem to take it seriously).


 * In the previous episode, Chris said that the winner of the trailer would be taking it home at the end of the summer. However, it was destroyed by Chris' cannon, and the end of the summer turned out to be Total Drama Action's beginning.


 * This is the second time someone takes revenge on Heather. This time, it was LeShawna by linking the water for the shower with the septic tank. The first time was Gwen getting back at Heather by using Harold's fire ants to torture her in Not Quite Famous.


 * Heather's challenge (requiring her to retrieve her key in Chef Hatchet's kitchen) may have been the most difficult challenge, as Heather's chest was the only one who granted her invincibility.


 * Most people question who Gwen and Trent voted for, as Trent couldn't have voted for himself (although in the confessional stall he says he's made many great friends and couldn't vote any of them off). Gwen also said at the bonfire that she didn't vote Trent off. They possibly voted for Owen, since he got the last marshmallow. Why they would vote for him is unknown.

Goofs

 * Trent's shirt changes from a right hand to a left hand in the confessional, but changes back in this episode.
 * When Izzy finds the snake, it has a rattle (indicating that it is a rattlesnake), but later on it is missing the rattle on its tail.
 * When Chris is explaining the challenge, the screen goes to the campers sitting in the stands. They are split into their original teams again, but Izzy is missing. In the next scene, when they grab their clues, she is back and they are still split into the original Killer Bass and Screaming Gophers groups.
 * When Lindsay is peeing in the Confessional Stall, her skirt is still on.
