The Aftermath: I

'''Two campers are hosting the first talk show. The non returning campers are back and two people are the guest of honor this episode. However the two hosts start to have some problems with each other as the show continues on... and Izzy and Trent are adding their own acts to the talk show.'''

Plot
After a short montage of Trent and Gwen moments over the course of Total Drama Action, the episode begins with Geoff and Bridgette introducing the new "Total Drama Action Aftermath Show", where the two will dish out everything "Total Drama Action". Geoff introduces himself and Bridgette to the audience, reminding them they were on both Total Drama Island and Total Drama Action, to which Bridgette angrily reminds him that they were voted off for kissing. Although Geoff thinks kissing makes for good television, he says that now they have their own show and are psyched to be here. After a snide remark from Eva, Geoff thanks her for reminding them that she was here and introduces the past season losers: Cody, Noah, Ezekiel, Eva, Katie and Sadie, Courtney (who is busy talking to a guy named Michael about suing the show again) and Tyler.

Bridgette and Geoff tell the viewers that they have messages and texts they'll read from the viewers, and that they'll even have some of the viewers on webcam. The two tell the viewers that they'll have two guests this episode Izzy and Trent. Bridgette mentions how she feels bad for what happened to Trent, while Sadie and Katie agree.

Before introducing Izzy, the two show a video containing various clips of her during the course of the season, finally calling on her to appear. After seeing herself on TV, Izzy walks out to join Geoff and Bridgette on stage and they begin their talk show segment, but before they could ask her questions, she notices her old boyfriend Gram in the audience and mentions how the restraining order put on them put a strain on their long distance relationship. Geoff asks Izzy how it felt to be the first one voted off the show, to which she says she doesn't know and asks him how it felt. Bridgette reminds Geoff that they were first voted off, and Geoff begins to recall the events until he stops, reminding Izzy that he is the one asking the questions. Bridgette asks how it felt not getting a Gilded Chris Award, Izzy starts to cry while explaining her feelings but Bridgette asks if its that painful to remember, but Izzy says she just can't lie to them due to an implant that shocks her at the first sign of dishonesty.

After one more question, Geoff says its time to play a game called Truth or Hammer, where they ask Izzy questions and if she answers untruthfully, a hammer will fly down to strike her out of her seat. Bridgette asks the first question, where did things go wrong for E-Scope. She replies that it was when she turned down a secret alliance with Chef, after which Geoff mentions they have a never before seen clip. The clip shows Chef offering Izzy help in manning up if they split the money 50/50, to which she replies by kicking him in the chest and scaring the near by intern. Izzy then mentions that she thinks Chef made a deal with DJ. Bridgette takes a message from a viewer asking if Izzy thinks DJ will be busted, to which she replies that she busted her arm and is now double jointed. Geoff asks if they should move onto Trent.

Bridgette begins talking about Trent, saying he did not deserve what happened and its because of Gwen he was voted out. After she says this, however, Geoff quickly disagrees and says it wasn't because of her. Bridgette mentions Trent missed out on the prize because of Gwen, and Geoff unknowingly reveals to an watching Trent that Gwen went behind Trent's back to have the Grips vote him off. Trent, watching from the green room backstage is completely shocked and asked if it was a joke. Geoff says sorry and says that even though Gwen asks to vote off Trent, that since he was throwing the challenges he would have been voted out anyway. Bridgette agrees, but says that Gwen stabbed Trent in the back to cover her own butt and Eva thinks they both should pay. Geoff reminds Bridgette of when Trent kissed Heather, but Bridgette says that Heather tricked him into kissing her. Geoff says that he hardly needed to be tricked into kissing the hottest girl on the show, much to Bridgette (and the rest of the girls) disgust. The two get into a fight over this, but Izzy steps in showing them a trick with her eyelids to stop the fight. It's too late, however, and Bridgette says they should take a break. The show goes to commercial, the first one being for that of Chef's Roadkill Cafe.

When the show returns, Izzy joins Geoff and Bridgette on the main couch talking about Trent and Gwen. Geoff is now on team Gwen and Bridgette on team Trent. Before taking more message, they check on Trent, who is in the green room still crying. They show a video recapping their relationship over both seasons, Geoff standing up for Gwen and Bridgette for Trent. Izzy asks the losers how they feel on the whole ordeal. Sadie begins first, saying she was at first on Team Trent but is now on Team Gwen after remembering how Trent kissed Heather, causing a fight between herself and Katie. Cody mentions he's on Team Gwen and holds up her bra. Courtney says shes on Team Gwen because Trent is a loser by choice. Izzy wants to bring out Trent, who is still crying in the green room and now playing his guitar.

Trent joins them on stage and begin to answer their questions. Bridgette asks what happened and Trent replies honestly that things were fine until they were split up and that once Gwen and Duncan were hanging out things got rocky. Courtney, watching on the sidelines, sneers at the mention of Duncan with Gwen. The next topic is of Trent's strange obsession with the number nine. Geoff and Bridgette show the clip of Duncan telling Gwen that their names together make nine, but Trent is upset and says thats not true. He recalls that the real reason is because when he was a kid his grandfather gave him a toy train. Right before he died it lost a wheel and only had nine, and his mom said nine was now his lucky number. This story makes Sadie, Katie and Courtney change 'teams'.

After a quick e-mail they check in on their webcams, their first guest being a girl named Ginger. Ginger asks Trent to go crazy over her before being cut off. The next guest is Steve the Yeti, a yeti, who says Chris Mclean is the best host ever and asks how the two got a show. He is interrupted by Chef calling out to him about taking a hot tub together as well as addressing him as Chris, and joins the yeti on camera to tell the audience not trust anything Izzy says. Finally, Geoff gets a call from someone saying that both Gwen and Trent stink and she is on Team Eva, after which they notice that it was Eva making the call. The final segment of the show is called 'That's going to leave a mark', which shows various unseen scenes of castmates being hurt by different objects (Duncan being hit with a light, Chef slipping, etc.). After the clip, Trent asks if he can sing a song he wrote after Gwen and himself broke up. As he sings, the entire cast (except Noah) begin to look on with sadness and Geoff and Bridgette look at each other before sharing an embrace. Geoff apologizes to Bridgette and the two begin to make out as the show comes to a close, Bridgette says they'll be here all season and Geoff says to check in next time for Total Drama Action. The episode ends with the two making out as the intern sweeps the floor and the lights turn out.

Cast
Noah, Ezekiel, Tyler, Heather, DJ, Harold and Leshawna appear, but have no lines.

(barfs a little in her mouth) Geoff: (disturbed) Uh... okay.  Cool.  Uh, thanks for that.


 * Izzy: Hi Bridgette, hi Geoff(waves to camera) Hi, everyone out there in TV land! (scans audience until she sees a familiar face) Graham Cracker! That's my old boyfriend, Graham!  He got a restraining order against me last year.  Remember that, Graham?  So funny!  Okay, we were in the courtroom and judge was all like, (impersonates judge) "You will not come within two hundred meters of the plaintiff or you shall suffer the consequences of this courtroom!" (regular laugh) The long distance was hard.  But we made it work.  By the way Graham, you should get new blinds for your room.  What are they made of, lead?  I couldn't see a thing with my binoculars. (giggles) Miss you, Graham Cracker! (pulls a cracker from her top) I'm totally into crackers right now.  They're just so flaky! (giggles and eats the cracker)


 * Bridgette: What went through your head after being voted off? Izzy: When you realize you're not getting a Gilded Chris Award, well... I can't lie to you. (cringes and suffers) Bridgette: Wow!  It's that painful to remember? Izzy: No, I just can't lie to you! (points to her neck) I was outfitted with a lie deterrent microchip that emits shockwaves at the first hint of dishonesty.  That's a really nice top, Bridge. (gets shocked and then giggles)


 * Bridgette: Trent was such a stand-up guy. He did not deserve what happened, right? Sadie: Oh, totally not. Bridgette: And all because of Gwen. Geoff: Whoa, back up, Bridge. Couples break up; it wasn't Gwen's fault. Bridgette: Trent lost out on a million bucks because of Gwen. Geoff: So, Gwen went behind Trent's back and told his team to vote him off, that doesn't mean...(hears the audience gasp in shock) Whoa, what? Trent: (backstage, having just heard what Geoff said) Awww man, what?! Are you kidding? Gwen did what?! This is a joke, right? Geoff: Whoa... did someone not tell the dude?

 * Trent: The number nine thing has nothing to do with Gwen. I had this toy train my granddad gave me as a kid. Right before he died, one of the wheels fell off so there were only nine. I was devastated. So my mom told me that nine was now my lucky number. Katie: (crying) I am so on Team Trent. Sadie: Me too. (they hug) Courtney: Uh, can I switch teams?


 * Steve the Yeti: Chris McLean is the best host ever! How'd you get your own show? You stink! Chef: (off-screen) Yo Chris! If I wanted to take a hot tub by myself I...Oh! You on the webcam?

Trivia

 * Izzy still only seems to react when she is called E-Scope, yet at one point Geoff asks her a question and addresses her as Izzy and she answers the question without any violence (though she may have abandoned this nickname because she saw how it was somewhat responsible for being eliminated.)
 * During a round of Truth or Hammer questions, a giant hammer is swung at the interviewee when it is believed that they are being untruthful with their answers. Izzy has a lie-detecting microchip implanted in her neck that shocks her whenever she is being dishonest. When Izzy claimed she wouldn't hurt the intern who witnessed her jump kicking Chef, the hammer swung at her to signify that she was not telling the truth, however she received no shock from the microchip.
 * The pickguard on Trent's guitar constantly switches from the right side to the left side of the guitar.
 * In this episode, Izzy confirms that the Gilded Chris Awards are made of chocolate covered in gold foil, including the ones that were thought to be metallic in Alien Resur-eggtion, as that was the only episode she received a Gilded Chris in.
 * This is the second time the episode doesn't have a recap from the episode before that. The other is Haut Camp-ture.
 * Trent states that he needs to move on and find a new girl after learning about Gwen's involvement in his elimination, heavily insinuating that he will not try to get back together with Gwen anytime soon.
 * This episode marks the first time that Eva, Ezekiel, and Izzy have (almost) cried.
 * Cody still has Gwen's bra that he received from her in Up The Creek, early on in the first season.
 * This episode marks the second time in the series that a relative of a contestant is confirmed to have died (Trent's grandfather). The first was in Riot On Set when Izzy states that she is a reincarnation of her great-grandmother.
 * This episode features all non-participating campers (though not all of them speak).
 * This is the first Total Drama Action episode where Bridgette was against her good friend, Gwen.
 * It is revealed that Trent's nine obsession was not, as it was assumed to be, from his and Gwen's combined names, but about a train he had as a child that lost a wheel and only had nine left. The train was a gift from his grandfather before he died.
 * In a unseen clip (presumably from Riot On Set) Chef also had approached Izzy to form an alliance before forming one with DJ, but she turned him down by kicking him in the chest in front of a terrified intern who, according to Geoff, "thought he was next."
 * This is the second time the show isn't hosted by Chris. The first time was in Are We There, Yeti?, when Chris went to an award show, leaving Chef in charge. However, Chris does make a brief appearance in this episode.
 * However, Chris does not appear as himself in this episode, he shows up on a webcam disguised as a Sasquatchanakwa named Steve the Yeti, complimenting himself and telling Geoff and Bridgette they stink for getting their own show until Chef blows his cover.
 * Geoff apparently considers Heather to be the show's most attractive female.
 * Izzy reveals in this episode that she had a major elbow injury and is now double-jointed, which explains how she was able to double-joint her elbows in her first audition tape.
 * Bridgette says that Izzy's time was brief, but she would be back for more. This may be a foreshadowing of Izzy returning to the set sometime in the future (though she may have only meant she would continue to be on the show through the talk show). In Fact Izzy return in the next episode.
 * Courtney is shown to be very angry and jealous after learning about Duncan and Gwen's close friendship, very similar to Trent's feelings on the matter. This could very well mean that she will have conflict with Duncan and Gwen when she returns to compete in the future, though she seems to be angry at Duncan rather than Gwen specifically.
 * Trent finds out that Gwen was the one to get him eliminated in 3:10 to Crazytown. Trent is devastated when he learns of this.
 * Courtney is shown still trying to sue the show as of this episode. She is seen talking on the phone with Michael, her lawyer. It is unknown if they are trying to appeal their first lawsuit (which Courtney said was lost in the TDI special) or are filing a new lawsuit against the show.
 * Eva makes a call trying to make it seem like someone is voting for her to win; this shows she is still determined to win the show even though she is unqualified to participate.
 * If one looks closely, there is a blue silhouette picture of Chris in the waiting room that Izzy and Trent are in.
 * The blond intern's design is based off of Tyler's first prototype design from Camp TV.
 * This episode is the first to feature Geoff and Bridgette in an argument.
 * The original designs for Katie, Sadie, Justin, and Eva were seen in the audience (they were shadowed).
 * This is the third time Katie and Sadie have argued in the series, although this one was very brief and not as intense as the first two.
 * It is possible that the non-returning contestants are unseen from the sidelines, since Katie and Sadie already knew about Trent's elimination.
 * It is revealed that Izzy is #8 on the RCMP's most wanted list.
 * Eva, Geoff, and Courtney use cellphones in the episode.
