Hook, Line, and Screamer

'''The campers go through a challenge where they are stalked by a psycho killer and see who can last the longest. Somebody is in with a real psycho killer! In the end, another person leaves the island before even seeing the killer.'''

Recap
The remaining eight contestants are watching a scary horror movie, which stars a Psycho Killer with a chainsaw and a hand with a hook. Izzy revels in the actions, while DJ is mortified by what he sees. During the movie Owen holds Izzy for a while which Duncan and DJ gives him a thumbs up for. After the movie ends Duncan pulls out a hook that frightens DJ even more.Gwen and Duncan compare what they like most in the movie they both like "Bloodbath 2: Summer Camp Reign of Terror". Heather is unimpressed by the 'mindless' movie, and wonders aloud what their next challenge will be and Geoff wonders where Chris is. Moments later, the campers see Chris and Chef, with frightened looks on their faces, getting on the Boat Of Losers with their luggage and leaving the island. Owen finds a bag left behind along with a newspaper that has an article about a Psycho Killer with a hockey mask and a hook for a hand and owning a chainsaw. DJ thinks it seems real but Heather dismisses the whole thing as another stunt by Chris but Owen points out Chris, in his hurry to leave, forgot his hair gel. DJ is terrified by the situation and DUncan juts makes it worse for him with the hook again, Dj then has the feeling they are being watched. Moments later, the scene shifts to Chris, who is watching the contestants with the aid of a number of monitor screens. Chris explains that tonight's show will focus on showing the campers struggling to survive a psycho killer with a chainsaw and a hook.

Back on the island, Gwen says they need a game plan, but Heather says she's going off to apply a facial. Gwen says the first rule of slasher films is to never go off alone and Heather replies that might be true if she was in a movie but they are just getting punked by Chris, in her opinion. As Heather leaves, Izzy muses she is sealing her fate and makes a throat cutting gesture to indicate what she thinks it is. Gwen gets the others to join her at the bonfire site to talk strategy but Izzy grabs Owen to one side and the two head out in the the woods together. Owen tells Izzy about the time he won a hot dog eating competition when he ate 198 hot dogs and Izzy is impressed by this story, but Owen tries to remeber why they shouldn't be in the woods. Back at the bonfire site, Gwen goes over survival rules such as not going off on their own, not going into the woods alone and never making out in the woods or the person(s) will die for certain. Gwen asks where Owen and Izzy have gone to and Duncan replies that they have gone into the woods and are breaking all the rules.

Back in the woods Owen realizes that the couples who are making out get kiled first. Izzy points out though that they are not making out. However in an act of spontaneity, Owen and Izzy jump into some bushes nearby and start making out even as a figure looking like the escaped psycho killer nears the area. Moments later, the two run from the area screaming with the figure running after them. After a short chase, Owen falls off the edge of a cliff and hits a cactus, fire hydrant, goat, a plunger that sets off explosives and a campfire before hitting the bottom. Izzy follows him with the same sounds ringing out as she descends and lands on Owen. Moments later, the killer approaches them and Owen pushes Izzy in his direction to save himself. Owen runs away and a few moments later, he enters the tent where Chris monitoring what is going on. Chris explains that the "killer" is actually Chef in disguise and it is the campers challenge to "survive the challenge. Izzy is upset with Owen's actions earlier and after Chris informs them they have been eliminated, Owen asks, in a roundabout way, how mad she is, Izzy punches him in the face.

Chris sends Chef out to do more terrorizing and back at the bonfire, Gwen continues to go over the plan for surviving by showing the figures she has drawn on a chart and she notices DJ and Geoff are missing and Duncan says they went to the washroom. At the washroom, DJ begs Geoff not to leave no matter what and Geoff agrees to stay. However, Geoff is lured away by the sound of an ice cream truck (curtiosy of Chris) and when DJ sees Heather wearing lime green facial and towels, he runs screaming from the washroom. After running over hills, off a cliff, through the base of a lake/river, down the Dock of Shame and into Chris' tent, DJ is brought to his senses when Izzy slaps him across the face. Chris tells DJ the truth about the killer and points out DJ bailed out without even encountering Chef in disguise but DJ protests that Heather's appearance was scary as well.

Gwen enters the washroom through the hole DJ made when he ran away and asks Heather if she is okay since she heard DJ scream. Heather says she is fine and wants a shower without Gwen around. After Gwen leaves, Heather goes to enter the shower but is terrified to see the killer standing a few feet away. A short time later, in Chris' tent, Chris lectures a bug eyed Heather that if she had paid attention to the rules of a scary movie about not going off alone, she'd still be in the game.

At the bonfire, Gwen asks where LeShawna has gone and when Duncan says she went to get something to eat in Chef's kitchen, Gwen sighs and crosses out LeShawna's figure on her chart. In the kitchen, LeShawna grabs a plate of brownies and hears her name being whispered followed by an encounter with the killer. LeShawna talks tough at first but ultimately runs off and winds up in the tent with Chris and the other people eliminated. However, she laughs it off, claiming that she didn't see it coming. Chris points out that challenging the killer was crazy but scored points for bringing some browines. Outside, Geoff is outside looking for the ice cream truck he thought he heard earlier and is tapped on the shoulder by the killer. Moments later, Chef deposits a wide eyed Geoff in the tent with Chris and the others and DJ chastises Geoff for leaving him earlier. On the monitor nearby, Gwen is seen at the bonfire citing a scary movie rule that the party guy is a prime target right after the big, lovable jock and DJ is not impressed she waited until now to cite that rule. Gwen crosses out DJ and Geoff's caricatures as being eliminated. Gwen is ticked that no one listened to her and if they did they would still be in the challenge. Talk turns to Duncan's pyromania side, which he sets Gwens chart on fire. when Gwen goes get water she notices Duncan gone, so mad she decides to get a sandwhich.

Hearing his name being whispered, Duncan makes his way down to the dock and encounters the killer. Duncan points out that if its a solo winner challenge wait for the fight to be over so you know you won. Duncan hurls a chair, a canoe, a life preserver, a surf board and a fish at the killer before watching the chainsaw cut into the dock just in front of him. Duncan grabs the chainsaw and prepares to see who's behind the mask.

Elsewhere, Gwen is eating a sandwich at the dining hall when a figure carrying a chainsaw and a hook approaches her but Gwen is not frightened. Meanwhile, Duncan, carrying the mask, and Chef enter Chris' tent and everyone notices that Gwen is about to deal with the another killer. But with Chef in the tent they realize that Gwen is in the kitchen with a real psycho killer. As they run in a hurry to save Gwen, Gwen talks to the killer as if he is an actor and moments later, Chris and the others arrive and yell to Gwen that she's facing a real killer. Gwen screams and kicks the killer in the face several times. Upset by this treatment, the killer leaves muttering that he was treated better in prison and Gwen is congratulated by Duncan for her actions with a high five.

Afterward, Chris states that it is agreed that Gwen receives invincibility for this challenge because she actually fought the real psycho killer, and DJ unanimously walks the Dock of Shame. After a group hug, DJ leaves the island while the killer, watching from nearby, whispers "Total Drama Island" and whines about his sore nose and asks if he's bleeding.

Cast
Chef Hatchet appears throughout most of the episode but has no lines, though he was telling Gwen with Chris and the other campers that she was with the real Killer.

Quotes

 * Chris: (in Recap) Who will be the next winner? Who will be the next loser? Who will renew my contract for next season? All these mind-probing questions revealed on this episode of Total Drama Island.


 * Leshawna: (freaked out while watching the horror movie) Yo! Fool couple! Stop making out... (grabs a handful of popcorn) AND START THE CAR!!! (throws the popcorn at the screen)

 * (Izzy jumps into Owen's arms) Izzy: Izzy loves scary movies! Owen: (slyly) So does Owen. (Duncan and DJ give him a thumbs up)


 * Duncan: (about the movie they just saw) There was hardly any hacking. Not like "Bloodbath 2: Summer Camp Reign of Terror!" Gwen: No way! That's my favorite movie. I love when the killer jams that guy's hand inside the lawnmower. Duncan: Or when he pushes that chick off the dock and she lands on a propeller blade that slices her in half. Duncan and Gwen: Or when he shoves that big dude's head inside the wood chipper! (A scared DJ gets on top of LeShawna, Gwen and Duncan give hi-fives) Heather: Awwwww, looks like Gwen and Duncan have more in common than bad fashion sense. It's just mindless guts and gore. Gwen: Horror movies aren't mindless. Duncan: Yeah, they're loaded with psychological trauma. Look at DJ. (LeShawna pushes the frightened DJ off)


 * Heather: It's all part of their little stunt to freak us out. Owen: If this was a stunt, would Chris leave behind his hair gel?! (everyone gasps) Gwen: Whoa! This is for real.


 * Izzy: And the bossy mean chick seals her fate...(hisses while making her finger go across her neck)


 * DJ: Let me get this straight. Chris left us for dead and now we're alone while that escaped psycho killer with a chainsaw is on the loose? Duncan: No. We're alone while that escaped psycho killer with a chainsaw and a hook is on the lose! (sticks out his hook hand and DJ screams) DJ: I told you, dude. Not funny!


 * DJ: I feel like we're being watched... Heather: Duh, it's a reality show. We're always being watched.


 * Chris: Heather's right... and tonight, we're watching to see who can survive a real life scary movie with special guest appearance by (spooky voice) the escaped Psycho Killer with the chainsaw and a hook!


 * Heather: (about the movie they just saw) Hey Chris, if you're listening: next time, rent one that takes place at a summer camp! Chris: I tried, but they were all rented.


 * Owen: ...So that's how Owen won the hotdog-athon. Owen ate two hundred dogs...well, 198, actually. The judges wouldn't count the last two since they squirted back up Owen's nose. Izzy: Wicked! Izzy's impressed!


 * Gwen: Ok. Rule #1: Do not go off on your own. Rule #2: If you do go off on your own, never go in the woods. Rule #3: If you do go in the woods, never, ever, ever make out in the woods or you will die in the woods! ... Where's Izzy and Owen? Duncan: (winks) Breaking rules one through three.


 * Owen: Great balls of fire! That's it! The Psycho Killer! Remember how he left the woods to hack apart the couple who were making out? Izzy: But we're not making out. Owen: Oh... yeah. Izzy: ... You wanna make out? Owen: Yes!


 * Owen: This feels so much longer and flatter than how we got here! Izzy: That's because horror movies extend the running scenes! Owen: Really? Why? Izzy: It gives them time to film a good wipe out! (Owen then trips over a rock and then falls off the cliff) Owen: Oooh! Ow! Yeouch! Oww! Thud! Aaah! Ow! Oof! Ouch! Oh, my spine! Izzy: Owen, I'm comin'! Oooh! Ow! Yeouch! Oww! Thud! Aaah! Ow! Oof! Ouch! (panting, landing on Owen) Hey Owen... hi.


 * Owen: (in front of the Psycho Killer) Owen's too young to die! Here, take Izzy! (pushes Izzy towards him)


 * Owen: (laughing) For the love of Peter Pumpkin-eater, that was some fun going on. Am I right? (sees Izzy glaring at him) Oh. You're still on the part where Owen shoved Izzy into the killer...


 * (Izzy is still glaring at Owen angrily) Owen: Owen's not getting to second base, is he? (Izzy shakes her head no) Owen: First base? (Izzy shakes her head no again) Owen: Didn't think so. Is he getting up to ba- (Izzy punches Owen)


 * DJ: (to Geoff outside community washroom) Okay. No matter what, you do not leave. Not if you hear a psycho, not if you see a psycho. Not if a psycho is slashing you to bits!


 * Chris: (to Heather after she faces the "Psycho Killer") Maybe if you paid attention to the scary movies, you'd know that A: You never go off alone, and B: You certainly never shower alone.


 * DJ: (to Geoff) Don't you know you never leave a brother when he's taking a leak?! Owen: Okay, even I know that doesn't sound right.


 * Gwen: Rule #8: The Party Guy is a prime target for psycho killers right after the Big, Lovable Jock. DJ: (in confessional) Now she tells me...


 * LeShawna: (to the "Psycho Killer") Yeah? I spent sixteen years in the Projects! Bring it on! (Psycho attacks LeShawna and she runs)


 * LeShawna: (in the tent laughing) Ha ha! I did not see that coming! Chris: Challenging the killer? What were you thinking?! But, you score major points for scooping up these delicious munchies!


 * Gwen: (In reference to nobody listening to her as she told them the rules of surviving a horror movie) You know what really ticks me off? That I was trying to help them! Duncan: (grabs a stick and lights it on fire) Live and learn, sweetheart. Gwen: You really are a pyro, aren't you? Duncan: So? I like burning stuff. Gwen: Is that what you went to Juvie for? Duncan: Pfft. Like I'd tell you why I went to Juvie. (lights the paper with the drawn campers on it on fire) Gwen: Holy crap! I'll get some water! (runs away) Duncan: And then there was one....


 * Duncan: (to the "Killer") Come and get it, goalie boy.


 * (Duncan throws a fish at Chef) Duncan: What? I ran out of stuff to throw.


 * Izzy: Hey, coolio, Gwen's taking on the psycho all by herself. Duncan: Wait a sec! If Chef's in here, then who's in the lodge with Gwen?! Owen: Holy Lola! It's the real escaped psycho killer with a chainsaw and a hook! Everyone: (screams) GWEN!! (Everybody runs to the lodge, including Chris and Chef)


 * Chris: (rushing to save Gwen from real killer) This could be really, really good for ratings but really, really bad for lawsuits!


 * Gwen: (to the real Killer) Hey, you want a sandwich before you impale me with your big scary hook? (the Killer shakes his head no) Okay. Look, you can drop the charade, okay? I know you're an actor with a hook prop, and frankly, you're not that scary. (the Killer removes his hook and shows that he has no hand) Ew, gross! How did they get it to go all scabby like that?


 * Everyone: Gwen! He's the real escaped psycho killer with the chainsaw and the hook!


 * Gwen: AAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH!


 * The Killer: (referring to Gwen kicking him in the face) Ow! Oh, that was totally uncalled for. Man, I am so outta here. I was treated way better in prison!


 * Chris: Well, it's obvious to everyone that Gwen wins invincibility. Sadly, it's equally unanimous that DJ walk the Dock of Shame since he was the only one who screamed and bolted without the escape psycho killer even being there. But, no hard feelings, dude. You will be missed. Owen: Awww, group hug! (everyone hugs DJ)


 * The Killer: (hiding behind bushes as DJ is leaving) Total, Total, Total...Drama, Drama, Drama...Island, Island, Island...Total, Total, Total... (turns to face camera) Aww man. That really hurts...I think it's bleeding! Is it bleeding?

Trivia

 * Title Reference: This episode's title is a parody to the phrase, Hook, Line, and Sinker.
 * Unedited, this episode would still be rated TV-PG-D.
 * This episode is the first (and so far, only) episode to take place entirely at night.
 * This was a fitting date, considering that in the month of October, Cartoon Network renamed their Har Har Tharsdays block to Scare Scare Scaresdays.
 * All dialog edits can be found on the Edits page.
 * This is the first time in the series that something happened in the challenge that Chris didn't plan (as he never planned for the real psycho killer to enter the challenge).
 * This is the first time in the series that Chris has actually tried to help a camper during a challenge (he rushed to save Gwen because he feared there would be lots of lawsuits).
 * This entire episode seems to be a parody of Friday the 13th. The killer (both the real one and Chef) is very similar to Jason Vorhees and the setting is at a summer camp (similar to the lake in the original movie). The setup, however, seems to be a parody of Halloween with the psycho killer escaping prison element.
 * There is a joke when Heather tells Chris to pick a movie that takes place at a summer camp. The movie the campers were watching looks similar to the original Friday the 13th movie (which originally does take place at a summer camp).
 * Oddly, DJ was eliminated because he fled before the psycho even reached him. However Chris admitted that it was Geoff who had the worst "blunder" yet. Although it is unlikely, he may have only been referring to the campers who actually did meet the psycho killer, but it is more likely an oversight on part of the writers.
 * Duncan tells Gwen that he would never tell her why he went to Juvenile Hall, though he ends up telling her four episodes later (though he tells her off-screen, so the exact details are unknown to the viewer).
 * This challenge actually is a lot more of a type of challenge that would be performed in Total Drama Action as it is much more connected to a movie genre than a camp activity.
 * Chef appears, but has no lines for the second consecutive time in the series (though he does warn Gwen of the presence of The Killer but it is unintelligible beneath the sounds of everyone else's voices).
 * Here's what the campers were doing before the "killer" came after them:
 * Owen and Izzy were making out in the woods.
 * Geoff was looking for an ice cream truck.
 * DJ was in the bathroom.
 * Duncan was playing with fire.
 * LeShawna was looking for food.
 * Heather was taking a shower.
 * Gwen was making herself a sandwich.
 * The campers in the confessional for this episode were DJ, Gwen, Geoff, Duncan, and The Real Psycho Killer.
 * This is the second time Duncan is seen with his fake hook hand since The Sucky Outdoors.
 * This is the first episode that shows Owen and Izzy together as a couple.
 * When Owen and Izzy are walking in the woods, they exclusively refer to themselves in the third person.
 * The Order of Campers who got eliminated from the challenge:
 * 1) Owen
 * 2) Izzy
 * DJ
 * 1) Heather
 * 2) LeShawna
 * 3) Geoff
 * 4) Duncan
 * 5) Gwen - Winner
 * This is the second time in a row someone leaves the island without getting voted off.
 * This is the second time Chef Hatchet is seen in a hockey mask since No Pain, No Game.
 * Running gag: The campers (and Chris) refer to the killer as the "escaped psycho killer with a chainsaw and a hook", or they would forget the "hook" part and would be corrected by someone else wearing a fake hook prop on their hand (namely Duncan or Chris).
 * The rules in surviving a horror movie (according to Gwen) are:
 * 1) Don't go off alone.
 * 2) If you do go off on your own, don't go into the woods.
 * 3) If you do go into the woods, don't make out or you will die there.
 * 4) The Party Guy is a prime target for psycho killers, right after the big, lovable jock.
 * These could be a reference to the Scream movie series, where there were similar rules.
 * Duncan is the only one who faces the 'killer', thus making him the second person to face Chef (after Izzy; though LeShawna tries to face the killer, but ends up running away. It is unknown how Chef caught up to her, as LeShawna was running pretty fast).
 * Though he is not a camper, the real Psycho Killer was seen in the confessional stall.
 * Heather is seen hugging DJ like the rest of the campers, despite her usual mean personality (unless she was pulled in by Owen or another camper). She was probably caught up in the moment or simply doesn't hate DJ like she does everyone else.
 * This is the second time Geoff failed to follow through on a promise he made to DJ (the first time being in Who Can You Trust?).
 * The part where Owen exclaims "Great balls of fire!!!" could be a reference to the Jerry Lee Lewis song "Great Balls of Fire".

Goofs
When DJ is in the bathroom, Heather's legs are hairy, but for the entire season, her legs are normally smooth.
 * When putting her finger across her throat like a knife, Izzy has five fingers instead of four.
 * When Duncan confronted the "killer", he cut off Chef's hook with the chainsaw, but when everyone runs to warn Gwen about the real killer on the loose, Chef's hook is restored.
 * Despite the fact that the whole episode takes place at night, when the campers are in the Confessional stall, it is daytime. This is another reference to the theory that the campers talk about their experience after the challenge ends. This however creates a plot hole as DJ was in the confessional and yet it was still night when he was eliminated, therefore it should have been night time when he was giving confessions.
 * When Chef is coming towards Duncan in his killer costume, he's wearing his chef hat, but it disappears in the next shot when Duncan starts throwing things at him.
 * When Izzy and Owen are rushing through the woods, Izzy's wristband is missing, and then when Izzy is watching Owen fall down the cliff, her wristband is on the wrong arm.
 * When Duncan is about to face Chef Hatchet, he is on the dock already, but when Chris sees Duncan, he is about to walk on the dock to face him.
 * When Gwen is lecturing the others about the rules of horror movies, she asks, "Where's Geoff?" twice. The first time, she doesn't cross out Geoff on her chart, but the second time, she does.
 * When Gwen puts out the burning chart, there are still all the X's on the campers. But when the camera zooms out, all of the pictures are not crossed out.
 * Heather turned on the cold water but it came out as hot instead.
 * When Izzy jumps off the cliff after Owen, the red light of the explosion can be seen before the sound goes off.
