Plot
The episode begins with an introduction from Chris, who explains that the season will take place at Camp Wawanakwa, similar to Total Drama Island, the show's first season. Only this time the season has had a few changes, showing how the island has changed while they were gone. Next, all the original contestants are seen partying on a yacht floating past the island. Chris then announces that the original cast will not be competing this year.

Instead, thirteen new contestants are then introduced to the island giving a full line up of all the competitors competing this season. The viewer is first introduced to Jo and Scott, the former telling the latter to stay out of her way. Mike and Zoey are introduced, only to be interrupted by Lightning. Brick catches Zoey, but drops her when announcing his name. B and Dawn are then introduced, followed by Dakota, who blows a kiss to the camera. Anne Maria is then introduced while applying spray tan, and Staci brags about her aunt who invented fake tanner. Cameron is then introduced, but knocked over by a flock of birds, followed by the final introduction, Sam. But to make a more interesting welcome, Chris detonates the boat with a bomb, causing the cast to fall into the water.

The contestants then had to swim back to shore. Cameron is drowning in the lake, Lightning saves him and calls him a "little girl" in the process, causing Cameron to protest. Staci starts drowning, as she was wasting her energy telling lies. Mike and Zoey both say that they'll help Staci and Staci takes her hand and puts it on Mike's head drowning him. Zoey saves them both. Meanwhile, Jo swims her way to the shore first. However, Dawn was already at the shore, since she used a shortcut and didn't even get wet. Brick made it on the shore third. B, who was unknowingly carrying Cameron, makes it to the shore fourth.

Once everyone made it ashore, everyone gets to have a few moments of chatting. Then Chris announces that the team should follow a path into the woods, and then signals off a horn to awaken the beasts that have been inhabitants of the island. The cast screams as they run away from the large russeling in the distance. After they have followed the path, they are united with Chris awaiting at a finish line. The contestants crossing the finish line determined which team they would be placed on, with seven contestants ending up on the Toxic Rats and six contestants on the Mutant Maggots. Chris also introduces the "Chris head," which he is going to hide somewhere on the island. It is an item that, when found, allows the contestant who found it to stay in the competition even when voted out for the first time.

After that, Chris then gives out rewards for those who crossed the finish line first. Since Jo was the first to cross, her team won a trampoline, and Lightning got a hacksaw. From there, they must cut down a totem pole that is hanging from a tree, with a timed bomb strapped to it, which would detonate in seven minutes, unless they cut it down, slide it down a hill, and place it on a tree stump between the cabins. After the team had both sucessfully cut down their rope, they then had placed it on the river, where they would ride down a waterfall and onto a slope.

Owen makes a cameo in this episode, saying to Chris that the boat carrying him and his fellow "classic" contestants wouldn't stop, before Chef sticks a bomb on his face, causing Owen to be launched off the island, screaming. The Rats were in the lead and made it down the slope first. But once they had choosen which cabin they had wanted, the Maggots had came in and destroyed their cabin. Even though the Rats successfully complete the challenge, the Maggots still win since they destroyed the "amazing" cabin which made Chris happy since the campers now get to sleep in the original cabins. The Rats were then taken to the first elimination campfire ceremony, and Staci is voted off by the Rats due to her excessive lying. She was the first to be catapulted from the Hurl of Shame at thirteenth place.
