The Aftermath: III

'''It's another exclusive episode of the Total Drama Action Aftermath, with not one, not two, but three former cast members taking the stage. However, trouble starts on set as one host finally gets fed up with the other host's new attitude.'''

Plot
Geoff and Bridgette host another episode of the Total Drama Action Aftermath and it is clear at the beginning of the episode that there has been a lot of arguing between the two of them. Geoff announces that Bridgette wants "more humanity" on the show, making it clear that he does not agree with her. Bridgette reminds Geoff that the people who he is manipulating for ratings are his friends, and comments on how they have already lost the competition and that losing was enough of a punishment. Geoff then reminds her that the Aftermath is not like normal talk shows and that it is still technically a reality show. He then goes on about how real talk shows have much better lighting, which clearly annoys and angers some of the workers who have been seen on the set previously. He comments that the former castmates are free to talk about all their problems, but that he won't help them feel better. Geoff and Bridgette then get into another large fight, which leads to Bridgette call Geoff a "Chris clone." Geoff brushes it off and the two go back to hosting. They introduce the ex-contestants in the VIP section, with DJ and Gwen joining them. They then begin to talk about their three guests for this episode.

They soon bring out their first guest, Owen, who greets Izzy, Geoff, and Bridgette. However, he was sent straight into the "Truth or Electrocution" segment. With his arms full of food, Owen begins to participate and after Trent tells Owen to "tell the truth," Owen panics and starts going through a long list of wrongdoings he did as a child, since he believes it is what "telling the truth" was about. Geoff then begins to ask Owen questions about how he felt towards people who had done him wrong during his time on the set. Owen makes it through without being shocked by the chair, showing his surprising level of indifference towards Courtney and Chef Hatchet. Geoff then tells Owen that his family is broke, hoping to anger him. This also does not bother him too much. He is even happy to discover that his family now owns a cheese cellar. Owen even gets the chance to talk to his mother about it via webcam.

Meanwhile, Bridgette and Geoff are seen having another fight, due to Geoff's sadistic treatment of Owen and making fun of his idea of promoting cheese on air. Bridgette then says that she doesn't even know who he is anymore and finally breaks up with him. Geoff seems slightly crushed while the "That's Gonna Leave a Mark" segment airs and before the commercial break, Owen comments on how "shocked" he looks and that Geoff suffers a bigger shock than he did.

After the breakup, the pair are shown to still be arguing with each other. Bridgette begins to talk through Owen to Geoff and Geoff insists that they, themselves, should talk about it. Bridgette, while ignoring Geoff, announces the next two guests. Heather and Leshawna then come out and are brought right into the "Truth or Electrocution" segment as well. Geoff announces that he will do all of the talking from that point on. Leshawna is surprised at the chair, while Heather is indifferent. Heather starts off the segment first, talking about how her parents attempted to use electrocution to make her nicer. She then says that they can shock her all they want and manages to lie on every question she is asked while being shocked every single time. She is proven to think that Courtney is a solid contestant, that Lindsay isn't as dumb as she seems and that she thinks Beth may be a threat. They then stop questioning her and Bridgette shows a never-before-seen clip of Heather playing with "num-yos" near Harold, allegedly taped with Courtney's camera. The audience then laughs at her, as do Leshawna, Geoff, and Bridgette. They then move on to Leshawna.

Bridgette is worried about the means of finding information, while Geoff assures that he will "go easy on her." Leshawna is first asked whether or not she considers Heather to be a friend. Leshawna responded positively, saying that Heather stood up for her and states that is worth a lot. Leshawna next admitted that she would have been mad at herself too if she was in the other castmates' place in relation to the video that was made of her talking behind their backs. Harvey then appears on webcam, asking if there is still hope for Harold and Leshawna. Leshawna claims that they are "just friends" and that is "all they'll ever be." Geoff is intrigued and asks Leshawna how she feels about Harold, revealing a never-before-seen clip similar to Heather's, only that Leshawna is seen staring at Harold admiringly. Leshawna then admits that she still likes Harold, but only as a friend.

Leshawna, after getting unstrapped, proceeds to Geoff, stating that he used to be a real nice guy, but now is "all kinds of nasty." Bridgette and Owen concur while Heather says that she is proud of Geoff's new attitude. Bridgette, Heather, Leshawna, and Owen all force Geoff into the electric chair for a change, in consent with Bridgette's idea. Bridgette then asks him if the "new him" is really him. He lies and says it is "the new him all the way," and gets shocked. They end up asking him what he thinks about Bridgette, to which he answers that he is crazy for her, after getting shocked once again due to saying that he "doesn't need her." Geoff apologizes and Bridgette, pleased about how he feels about her, makes up with him. They sign off the episode and begin to make out. Owen then causes the electric chair to go off, which creates a power outage in the entire studio, prompting him to end the show with an apology.

Cast

 * An intern and a video guest spoke as well. However, it is unknown who voiced them.
 * Cody, Eva, Ezekiel, Katie, Noah, Sadie, Tyler, DJ, and Gwen appeared, but they did not speak aside from occasionally gasping in shock.

General

 * Courtney was proven to have her own camera, dubbed "The Courtney Cam," which she uses on the set.
 * Owen's family was proven to be in debt in this episode, due to buying a cheese cellar for their house, because they thought Owen had kept the prize money from season one, foreshadowing Owen's return to the competition in order to pay off his debt.
 * Heather was shown to also own "num-yos" in this episode.
 * The blond intern that has appeared in all of the aftermaths, had a line in this episode, telling Owen to go on to the stage.
 * Heather is revealed to have gone through electric shock therapy as a child.
 * This was the only aftermath in Total Drama Action to feature more than two guests. In this case, three.

Continuity

 * This is the first aftermath episode in which Katie and Sadie do not speak. In addition, the one other most vocal non-competing commentator, Courtney, has since debuted into the game and is not present for this aftermath. Thus, this is the first (and only) aftermath episode of the season in which none of the commentators who are not competing in this season speak.
 * When Owen, Heather, and Bridgette all put Geoff into the "Truth Or Electrocution" chair, Heather asked Geoff who he thinks is the hottest girl on the show. This may be a reference to the first aftermath, where Geoff says that Heather is the hottest girl on the show.
 * This is the second episode where someone gives a person the finger. The first is when Lindsay gave Heather the finger in That's Off the Chain!.
 * In this case, it was Sasquatchanakwa to Chef.
 * This is the first episode of Total Drama Action where Stephanie Anne Mills does not have any lines, as Lindsay does not appear and Katie does not speak.
 * Heather gets another new wig (an afro wig) in this episode. This is her third wig in the whole series.
 * This is the first of only two episodes of Total Drama Action that does not show Heather's bald head.
 * The other episode is Celebrity Manhunt's Total Drama Action Reunion Special.
 * This is the second aftermath to feature a contestant's mother. The first is The Aftermath: II, where DJ's mother appeared.
 * This is the first episode of Total Drama Action where Chef does not appear in person.
 * Similarly, this is the third episode in the series where Chris does not appear.
 * This is the last Total Drama Action Aftermath that Geoff and Bridgette host for the entire episode, as Chris takes over in The Aftermath: IV.
 * When Owen is introduced, Geoff makes references to the episodes: The Big Sleep, Not So Happy Campers - Part 2, Camp Castaways, and I Triple Dog Dare You!. When Heather is introduced, Geoff makes references to I Triple Dog Dare You!.
 * The interns from Riot On Set appear to still work for the show, even after implying that they were quitting.
 * Owen's doodle narrations from The Sucky Outdoors return in this episode.

Goofs

 * When Owen confesses his misdeeds, he said he "kicked his younger brother downstairs, and blamed it on his other younger brother." However, in Total Drama, Drama, Drama, Drama Island, Chris said he was the youngest of three brothers. This episode implies Owen is the oldest instead.
 * After the "That's Gonna Leave a Mark" segment, Bridgette's ponytail disappears and again when she and Geoff are accidentally shocked by Owen.
 * Owen's mother has a different nose to when she appeared in the video sent from home to Owen.
 * Several goofs were present during the "That's Gonna Leave a Mark" segment. However, most of these may have been altered by Geoff, as those goofs were:
 * Footage outtakes that were shown showed Harold with pupil eyes, but in One Million Bucks, B.C. (the episode that the footage was originally from), he was shown to have dotted eyes.
 * In another outtake, when Harold got hit by the Screaming Gaffers team logo, the Killer Grips and Screaming Gaffers are on the opposite side of which they were actually on in the episode.
 * In another outtake (and as evidence to the altering of clips), when Duncan fainted in Ocean's Eight - Or Nine, he fell on a giant bear trap. But in the original episode when he fell, a thud on the floor could clearly be heard (indicating the absence of a metal trap because a metal trap would have a snapping sound).
 * In the outtake where Duncan fainted on a bear trap, Courtney's bang was missing, but when the camera cuts to the bear trap, her bang was there.
 * In another outtake, when Harold, Heather, and Duncan were cheering after crossing the finish line, Duncan is not wearing the bonnet that he was wearing at that moment in the actual episode.
