Plot
The episode opens with Team Victory and Team Chris Is Really Really Really Really Hot in economy class, while Team Amazon is enjoying first class yet again. In economy class, Noah is fast asleep until a rat falls into his mouth, surprising him enough to wake him up. Owen is shown having a nightmare about the plane crashing and after over-reacting to Alejandro's plea to pipe down, he accidentally punches him in the eye. This annoys Alejandro, but he dismisses this by saying, "Nothing a little ice and revenge won't fix". Owen appears relieved, but does a double take when he hears the word "revenge". However, Alejandro insists that he misheard him and inquires Owen about any life-threatening allergies. Owen then suspects in the confessional that Alejandro may not like him. Also in economy class, Lindsay is shown comforting DJ about his curse. In first class, Sierra is shown using a pizza box with a drawing of her and Cody on it while using a real mouse as a computer mouse. Gwen worriedly asks what she is up to, and Sierra tells her that she is updating her blog. She asks Gwen if she would like to check her e-mail when she finishes and Gwen accepts, but then notices the pizza box and actual mouse, which causes her to awkwardly refuse after seeing Sierra eat a slice of pizza from her "laptop". Heather, who is still missing a tooth from when Leshawna attacked her in the previous episode, tries covering up her bruises with makeup. Courtney sarcastically tells Heather that she looks really good, while Heather scoffs and shuts the mirror she was using. Chris then announces that their next destination is the Amazon. Gwen comments that Team Amazon in the Amazon must be a lucky sign, to which Sierra gasps and states that every team who predicts good luck loses. Gwen tries to hide what she said, and Sierra clamps her hand over Gwen's mouth. Chris laughs over the intercom, warning Team Amazon about wishing for good luck.

The three teams exit the plane as Chris welcomes them to Peru. He explains that the challenge is to hike along an ancient Peruvian trail that goes all the way to Machu Picchu. In the ruins, one team must find the golden treasure. The first team to find the treasure will fly first-class to their next location while the losers will send someone home. Chris begins to list the dangerous animals in the Amazon and Cody raises his hand. Chris, already knowing the question of Cody's many allergies in the Amazon, pulls out an EpiPen. Cody makes a grab for it, however, Chris tells him that it wouldn't make sense to give it to the person with the allergies in case he passed out. Sierra pleads to be given the responsibility, but after Cody begs Gwen to with puppy eyes, Gwen holds it instead of Sierra. Devastated, Sierra begins to list Cody's deadly allergies to the bugs, but Chris ignores her tirade and gives it to Gwen, making Cody happy. Chris then warns the teams of the Zing-Zings, a tribe which has never made contact with the humans. Owen asks how far the trip is and to the teens' dismay, it is an eighteen-hour trip. Chris then gives each team walkie-talkies, in case of an emergency.

The hiking trip begins, and Team Victory chooses the left path. Tyler makes his team also choose the left path in order to stay with Lindsay. Gwen suggests that Team Amazon choose the right path, but Sierra thinks that they should choose the left path, as if they chose that path and were wrong, they would still be with the other teams. Cody agrees with Sierra, who becomes ecstatic in the confessional, stating that she heard wedding bells in her head after Cody agreed with her in front of the whole team. Heather taunts Gwen and tells her to decide, as she had jinxed the team with her talk about good luck. Team Amazon ends up taking the path on the right.

Team Victory reaches the zip-line first and they earn the privilege of using the T-Bar. DJ zip-lines down, while Lindsay rides on his shoulders. Meanwhile, Team Amazon hikes down the right path after separating from everyone else. Cody thanks Gwen for taking his EpiPen, but she confesses that she has no idea how to use it. Cody leers at her and explains that if he gets bitten, then she has to jam it into his naked butt cheek. Gwen, disgusted, tosses the EpiPen back to him. Suddenly, Cody is grabbed by an enormous mosquito, but Sierra knocks it down with a stone. She catches him as he falls and assures him of her devotion towards his safety. Team Chris Is Really Really Really Really Hot reaches the zip-line, and Tyler asks where the T-Bar is. Alejandro zip-lines down using his belt and Owen rides using his hands. He sinks into the water as the zip-line hits a low point, and is nibbled on by piranhas.

While walking through the forest, Team Amazon is stopped in their tracks as they notice two Zing-Zings sitting around a fire. Cody stops the girls and tells him that he has it covered, although a Zing-Zing appears directly beside him, which frightens him. They are held at spear point, and Gwen desperately calls Chris for help. However, there are no batteries in the walkie-talkie since Chef took them to play video games. Meanwhile, Team Chris Is Really Really Really Really Hot still needs Tyler, Noah, and Izzy to cross the zip-line to the bottom. Tyler removes his pants and uses it as a makeshift T-Bar. It works for a short while, but his pants catch on fire, and he falls into the water. Izzy decides to go next, and puts Noah in her backpack before sliding across the zip-line, knocking over Tyler and Owen as she reaches the shore.

The Zing-Zings have tied up Team Amazon to a tree, and Cody suggests that the batteries in the flashlight in his back right pocket could be used inside the walkie-talkie. However, he cannot reach it. Sierra excitedly tells him that she can get it, but Heather rejects the idea and tells Gwen to, since she's the closest. Gwen tells Cody that he is not allowed to enjoy the moment, fully aware of his attraction to her. Gwen removes many items out of Cody's pockets, and finds some X-Ray glasses. Heather mockingly asks her what color Cody's underwear is, and Gwen checks. However, Cody doesn't have any underwear on, and she ends up seeing a lot more. Sierra asks if she can borrow the glasses, while Gwen is aghast, wailing in the confessional later that everyone wears underwear in the Amazon. Cody makes a confessional next, reminisces about how Gwen basically touched his butt, despite him wearing pants. In the jet's lavatory confessional, Sierra vows that when she wins the money, she will buy arm extensions in order to reach Cody's pocket. Gwen continues to search Cody's pocket, but ends up accidentally injecting herself with his EpiPen. Cody calms her nerves by telling her that she would be fine, and that the injection is basically a large adrenaline rush. Courtney digs in Cody's other pocket and finds the flashlight, and Cody laughs about getting his pockets confused.

Team Chris Is Really Really Really Really Hot finds a place to set camp, and Owen begins to complain about the lack of food. He asks for nachos, and Noah begins to list the ingredients necessary to make nachos in a sarcastic tone. Izzy tells him to slow down, and she was in the process of making a shopping list. Team Victory runs into Chris, and DJ begs for food. Chris awards them a crate full of bananas for being in first place. Suddenly, his walkie-talkie activates, and Gwen is heard speaking. Chris nonchalantly thinks that she is in trouble, then cuts to a commercial break. As the show returns, Gwen is heard panicking through the walkie-talkie again. Tyler suddenly jumps into the conversation after hearing that Gwen "had her hand in Cody's pants". Heather and Courtney add on that they are getting held at spear point by the Zing-Zings and that Gwen accidentally used the EpiPen on herself and is now going crazy. Lindsay exclaims about Team Victory being in first place, and then addresses Tyler. Chris tells Team Amazon to remain calm, but then, the chime for a musical number is heard. Heather is in disbelief, while Owen asks if Team Chris Is Really Really Really Really Hot is forced to sing backup. Chris then commands that the song is all Team Amazon, and that it must end with a solo from Heather. Team Amazon then sings Gypsy Rap.

Afterwards, the Zing-Zings notice Heather's missing tooth. Heather misconstrues their reaction as an insult, asking Gwen if her missing tooth is that hideous. The Zing-Zings then brush over some large leaves to reveal a tiki of a goddess that resembles Heather with a gold tooth. Cody worries at the fact that since Heather is their alleged goddess, the rest of Team Amazon would be "expendable". With night fallen, Lindsay wakes up to a pattering sound. She shines her flashlight on DJ, and he notices that he had been slapping monkeys who wanted their bananas, not bugs. He sighs at the fact that his curse has still not worn away. At Team Chris Is Really Really Really Really Hot's campfire, Owen hears a growling noise. He wonders if it had been the fire, but Noah reminds him that fires don't growl. Owen jokingly mentions that since Alejandro made the fire, it could growl due to being a "Spanish fire". Owen blows on the fire, illuminating their campsite and revealing five strange caterpillar-like creatures. Their fire is extinguished by one of the creature's sneezes, and they are ambushed.

Back with Team Amazon, the two Zing-Zings give her a gold tooth in place of her recently lost one, pleasing her. Gwen comments rapidly about the tooth, still undergoing the effects of Cody's EpiPen shot. DJ has bandaged the monkeys which he had hurt earlier and began to walk down the trail with Lindsay. But, he steps on a twig and awakens the monkeys, causing them to attack him, while Lindsay watches in fright. The next morning, Team Chris Is Really Really Really Really Hot wakes up, covered in welts from the recent attack. Alejandro quickly refuses as he felt that they were behind to take a head count and gets the team running over to Machu Picchu.

Team Victory reaches Machu Picchu first, and Chris, once again, announces that they are maintaining the first place slot. He worries about DJ's condition, who is bawling over having hurt another animal. Lindsay points out that in that situation, the monkeys hurt him, and DJ focuses on the challenge. Team Chris Is Really Really Really Really Hot arrives at Machu Picchu second. But Chris does not allow them to begin searching the ruins until their entire team arrives. Alejandro accuses him of making the rules as he goes along, and Chris dismisses it as old news. Alejandro then goes on a search for Owen.

Team Amazon, still in the same place as the previous day, is wide awake except for Gwen, who is sound asleep due to the aftermath of Cody's EpiPen. Gwen's snoring begins to irritate Sierra, saying that it's "driving her crazy", but Courtney corrects her, and says that it's driving Sierra "crazier". Courtney then orders Heather to get the Zing-Zings to untie them, but Heather defends them, arguing that they might become angry and make a sacrifice. Cody agrees with Heather in fear. In another part of the dense jungle, Alejandro finds Owen stuck in a large cocoon. He asks what happened, but Owen holds Alejandro accountable of the entire situation that Alejandro was awake while the others were sleeping when a caterpillar took him away. Alejandro lies and says that Izzy, Tyler, and Noah went ahead without Owen purposefully, and that he was Owen's only true friend. Owen comments that he has never been as scared of a friend before as that moment. Alejandro then releases Owen from the cocoon, which causes him to fall to the ground, and they head back to Machu Picchu.

Alejandro and Owen run back to their team, and Chris allows them to begin searching. Almost immediately after, Tyler announces that he has found the treasure. Chris walks over to Owen and Tyler, who are struggling to remove a small pillar from the ground. Chris tells them that they have the wrong treasure, and when Lindsay approaches him with a small golden statue, he crowns Team Victory the winners of the challenge. Owen removes the pillar, and as the sun casts upon its ominous blue tip, the ruins begin to shake violently. Chris, Team Victory, and Team Chris Is Really Really Really Really Hot evacuate quickly as the place begins to fall apart.

Chef finds Team Amazon, but is stopped by Heather who orders him to kneel down before the Zing-Zings. Chef disregards her and then slices the ropes which tied Team Amazon, and reveals that the Zing-Zings were two local Peruvian teenage actors. Heather is disgusted by the fact that they put a gold tooth in her mouth, and Sierra taunts her. Chef reminds them that they lost the challenge and must vote someone off. Cody is suddenly bitten by a red ant, one of his life-threatening allergies. Sierra goes as far as to try and suck the poison out of his thumb, causing Cody to look away. Heather wonders who to blame for all this, then notices Gwen and addresses her as she wakes up. Gwen asks if they had won the challenge, giving her angry glares from Sierra, Courtney, and Cody.

In the first-class section, DJ and Lindsay relax for the first time. DJ helps himself to a cookie, and Lindsay begins to ask him a question. DJ already knows it, however, and allows her to bring Tyler into the first-class section with her. Lindsay happily thanks DJ and kisses him on the cheek before running off to get him. Meanwhile, Gwen, Courtney, and Sierra are sitting in the dining hall discussing the elimination. Sierra then joins Courtney and Gwen in their plot to vote off Heather, giving that Gwen stops being nice to Cody.

At the Barf Bag Ceremony, Alejandro appears beside Heather. Less than thrilled to see him, he tells her to cheer up, as her departure will help him in the game. Heather lets him know that she knows of his plans which eliminated both Leshawna and Bridgette. Alejandro admits that even she couldn't resist him if he kissed her, but Heather quickly shoots down the thought and says that she could have easily crushed him in the competition. Chris begins the elimination ceremony, and makes a joke about Cody's swollen thumb. He then reveals the votes, which show that Gwen, Courtney, and Sierra all voted for Heather, Heather voted for Gwen, and Cody voted for Sierra. Heartbroken, Sierra sobs, in the confessional, she asks why Cody would vote her, after everything she did for him. Chris then reveals that the elimination wasn't real and that Heather wouldn't be taking the Drop of Shame, for now. Everyone gasps at this, while in the confessional, Heather swears revenge on both her team and Alejandro. Chris then mocks Heather and signs off the show.

Quotes
Alejandro: Nothing a little ice and revenge won't fix. Owen: Cool. Wait, did you say "revenge"? Alejandro: Of course not; off topic. Do you have any serious allergies? (DJ puts his hand on the bench, Lindsay puts hers on top of his) Lindsay: Cheer up, DJ! If Tyler can come back, anything can happen! Maybe we'll become the best team ever! Chris: "Here's the best team ever..." (DJ and Lindsay look up in delight) Chris: ...is exactly what I'll say once I get into the first-class compartment! (DJ groans) Sierra: I'm on the Internet! You can check your e-mail when I'm done writing my blog if you want. Gwen: Uhh, yeah. That'd be... (Gwen notices Sierra's laptop is fake) No, no. No, I'm good, actually, yeah, no. Sierra: (deeply gasps) Every time a team predicts good luck, they always lose! (Cody raises his hand) Chris: Yes, Cody, the legal department made me well aware of your deathly allergies and insisted we supply an EpiPen. (pulls out EpiPen) (Cody reaches for it, but Chris pulls it away) Chris: Wouldn't make sense to give it to the person who has the allergies. What if you need an injection when you're unconscious? Sierra: (with right hand high) Oh, oh. Me! I can take it! Chris: Who can we get to carry this? Sierra: Ohh, Chris! Chris! Chris! (meanwhile, Cody begs for Gwen to take it with big puppy eyes) Gwen: (sighs while rolling her eyes) I'll take it. Sierra: What?! NO!! I'm the only one who knows what sends Cody into anaphylactic shock! Black ants, brown ants, red ants, bugeo bees, wolf spiders, katydid crickets, the clear-winged Sutherious Perenna butterfly, and goat saliva! Chris: "Goat saliva?" Must make dating a little tough, eh, Cody? Here you are, Gwen. ''(tosses EpiPen to her) (Gwen uneasily catches EpiPen, Cody makes a fist while making a "Yes!" motion, and Sierra glares at Gwen)'' (Heather blows a raspberry as Gwen walks off) Gwen: Not a clue. Cody: I get bit, (whispers) you jam the needle into my naked butt cheek. Gwen: (disgusted, gives the EpiPen back to him) Yeah... good luck with that. Cody: Ugh. I'm doomed! Chris: "Hanging on thingy?" Tyler: (scoffs) You know, the riding stick. The grabby whatchamacallit. Ugh, the zipper buckle handle! Chris: Getting colder... (Tyler looks as if he's about to lose it) (Tyler takes off his sweat pants and uses it as a T-bar) Tyler: Yeah! Woo! Zip-line-(pants catch on fire) Wuh-oh! Ah, ah! (pants break and he falls in piranha infested waters) Tyler: (jumps out of water and makes a beeline towards shore as piranhas bite him) Ah! Piranhas! Noah: He's got good vertical. Chris: For a guy leaping out of water? Yeah. (Tyler makes it to shore, opens mouth to reveal a piranha biting his tongue, and yanks it off, leaving bite marks) Tyler: (gasp) Ugh! Chris: All right. Who's next? Izzy: (gives two thumbs-up) Izzy has a plan! (Izzy then shoves Noah into her backpack) Ha! (slides down to zip-line with a rope) Yeah! Ha, ha! Come on! (Izzy then knocking over Owen and Tyler at the shore) Heather: What color are Cody's undies? (Gwen puts on glasses and looks at Cody, only to see him completely naked) Gwen: Gah! (takes off glasses, looks away with eyes closed, and takes deep breaths) Cody: (blushing) Who wears undies in the Amazon? Sierra: Uh... can I borrow those glasses? Gwen: (in confessional) Everyone! That's who wears undies in the Amazon! Everyone! Cody: (in confessional; daydreaming) Gwen touched my butt. I had pants on, but it was pretty much my butt. Sierra: (in confessional) When I win the money, I'm going to get my arms extended. Next time, I will reach Cody's pocket. Noah: (sarcastically) Sure! All we're missing is chips, beef, tomatoes, cheese, salsa... Izzy: (writing on a notepad) Hey! Slow down, guys. I'm making a list. Chris: (picks up walkie-talkie) Walkie-talkies are for emergencies only! Gwen: The Zingys, caught by the tree ties up with my hands in Cody's pants! This trouble is big! Tyler: (picks up walkie-talkie) Way to go, Cody! Cody: Thank you! Gwen: (indistinct) Help us! Courtney: Gwen EpiPenned herself, we need help! Chris: E-MER-GEN- Heather: We are being held at spear point by the Zing-Zings! Help! Us! Now! Lindsay: (oblivious to what's going on) We're in first place! Hi, Tyler! Noah: (scared) Fires rarely growl. Owen: Al built it. Maybe Spanish fires growl. (another growling sound) Lindsay: Same old story: attacked by miniature monkeys. DJ: I deserved it... I ALWAYS DESERVE IT! Alejandro: You never said that! You're making up the rules as we go! Chris: And this surprises you because...? Courtney: I think you mean crazier! Owen: AL!! Alejandro: Owen! What happened? Owen: You saw!! You watched the caterpillars drag me away! Alejandro: I don't know what you mean, Owen. Owen: The others were asleep but you- you had your eye open, I saw you!! Alejandro: Obviously, you're wrong the others went ahead without you. I refused to move on until I found you. Owen: So, you're my only real friend? Alejandro: It would seem so Owen. Owen: Wow. I've never been so scared of a friend before. Gwen: (yawns) Did we win? (sees the rest of Team Amazon and Chef glaring at her) Alejandro: Ah, Heather. Cheer up. Your departure will make the game a whole lot easier for me. Heather: I know you messed with Leshawna, and Bridgette too, probably. You are just lucky you didn't try anything on me. Alejandro: Ah. But with the temptation of a kiss, even you couldn't resist me forever. Heather: (both lean closely towards each other) I... would... have... CRUSHED YOU! Courtney: (in confessional) Goodbye Heather. (stamps passport) Wow, feels to good to be true. Heather: (in confessional) I... vote... (stamps passport) Gwen. Sierra: (in confessional) I vote for Heather! I used to say that in my bathroom mirror all the time and now, here I am doing it! (excitedly squeals) Cody: (in confessional) I... (stamps passport) vote for Sierra. She's like the stalker girlfriend I always thought I wanted... until I got one! (the camera cuts to Cody, who is staring at Sierra as she starts sobbing uncontrollably) Sierra: (in confessional) He voted... for me? President of his fan club? After all I've done for him?! Foot rubs, secret hair collection... I mean, it's just so... ''CODY!! (sobs)''
 * Noah: (sleeping until a rat falls into his mouth, Noah wakes up and spits the rat out) Ugh! Stupid economy class.
 * Owen: (after accidentally giving Alejandro a black eye) Al, what happened?
 * Owen: Hmmm, lets see now... (in confessional) Sometimes I get the feeling Al might slightly not totally like me. Punching him in the face, probably didn't help. Unless he likes that kind of thing (chuckles) fingers crossed.
 * DJ: I feel bad about voting off Leshawna. All she did was hurt Heather. I'm hurting innocent animals! How long can a curse last, anyways?
 * Gwen: (to Sierra) Uh... what'cha doing?
 * Gwen: Team Amazon in the Amazon? That's gotta be a lucky sign!
 * Chris: Gee, I hope that none of the Amazons said that this would be good luck for them. That'd be disastrous!
 * Chris: Welcome to Peru! Birthplace of the mighty Amazon river! This challenge is called the "Am-AHHH-Zon Race." Teams must hike along an ancient Inca trail through the Peruvian jungle all the way to Machu Picchu. Hidden somewhere amongst the ruins of Machu Picchu, a golden treasure awaits discovery. Find the treasure to win first class passage to our next destination. Last team to arrive at Machu Picchu will have to send someone out the elimination door. And be warned, the jungle contains many, many, vicious insects.
 * Sierra: (in confessional) When Cody agreed with me in front of everyone, I swear I heard wedding bells! (excitedly squeals)
 * Gwen: (to Heather) Your parents must love this show. It gets you out of the house!
 * Chris: (at zip-line with Team Victory) Welcome Tiny Victory! I'd say team, but you're more of a duo...
 * Cody: (to Gwen) Hey. Thanks for taking my EpiPen. You know how to use it, right?
 * Sierra: (after saving Cody from a giant mosquito) I'm the only one who will always be there for you, Cody. Always! (chucks Cody over her shoulder)
 * Tyler: (trying to address the missing T-bar on the zip-line) Where's the hanging on thingy part?
 * Alejandro: We need no T-Bar! We are Team Chris Is Really Really Really Really Hot! (uses his belt to zipline across) Arriba!
 * Owen: Whatever you say Al! (ziplines across using his hands) Arriba! (gets rope burn, screams, falls into water, and gets bitten by piranhas)
 * Chris: Oh yeah. There may or may not be piranhas in these waters.
 * Chef: (in Chris' private headquarters, playing a hand-held videogame) Ha! Eat that ghost, eat it!
 * Chris: This should be interesting.
 * Gwen: (to Cody) You are not allowed to enjoy this. (reaches for Cody's back pocket while he grins) Killer Casanova kissing mints? Hair gel, Saw body spray, X-Ray glasses?
 * Owen: Need rest... and water... Ohh, nachos would be killer right now, eh?
 * Gwen: (on walkie-talkie) Chris! Chris! Chris! It's Gwen!
 * Heather: (gasps) Is my missing tooth that hideous?
 * Owen: (after hearing a growling sound) Is that coming from the fire?
 * Alejandro: What is that? (Owen blows in the fire which makes the light grow, revealing giant catipilers)
 * Team Chris:(gasped and a the catipiler between Noah and Owen spits out the fire, then the catipilers attack)
 * Gwen: The gold tooth! Crazy or what? It's crazy, right it can't just be not crazy, it's crazy, crazy, crazy!
 * Heather: (in confessional) Even as a child, I knew that someday a large group of people would worship me. I knew. (smiles a wide, toothy grin; gold tooth gleams)
 * Chris: (about DJ, who's shaking) What happened to him?
 * (After Chris tells Team Chris is Really Really Really Really Hot that they can't continue to Machu Picchu without Owen.)
 * Sierra: (referring to Gwen) Her snoring is making me crazy!
 * Alejandro: (finds Owen inside a giant caterpillar cocoon and helps him out)
 * Heather: (after finding out Team Amazon lost the challenge) If only there was someone we could blame for all this. (sweetly) Morning, Gwen.
 * Heather: Oh, great. It's Pirate Pablo.
 * Chris: All right, Amazons. Are you ready to find out who you chose to eliminate? What'chu think, Cody? (gives a thumbs up, then refers to the bandages over his bug bite) Give that a big, fat thumbs up? (Cody glares at him)
 * Gwen: (in confessional, stamps 'passport') I vote for Heather. And Chris, there's $10 in it if you forget to give her a parachute.
