Awwwwww, Drumheller

'''The final four head to Alberta, Canada to participate in an archeology-themed challenge. One contestant frames another to anger someone else. However, when that same contestant becomes trapped, they decides to save them. But when their transportation is accidentally destroyed, the host furiously kicks someone with immunity out of the game, sparing someone from the brink of elimination and leaving only three.'''

Recap
During the night while everyone else is sleeping, Alejandro sneaks into the security centre to make a realistic photo of Heather and Cody sleeping next to each other in economy class. Back in first class, Heather wakes up and Alejandro again thanks her for inviting him to first class with her. Heather simply says that if she had invited Sierra or Cody, Sierra would be targeting her next to go so she had to pick him since he was the only one left. In economy class Cody wakes up to a very excited Sierra. Sierra explains that the day is awesome, and that she plans to make something "very special" for Cody. Alejandro asks to have a word with Sierra on her way to get Cody's surprise ready. Alejandro shows the picture he made the previous night, and Sierra becomes immensely furious with Heather.

The contestants are taken to Drumheller, Alberta; known for the many dinosaur bones found there. This brings up the first challenge of designing a dinosaur of any type of bones they find, and anything they can find on the plan. During the challenge Sierra is hostile towards Heather, both scaring and confusing Heather, since Sierra tries to hit Heather throughout the first part of the challenge. When it's time to show their own dinosaurs each show different ones. While Alejandro made an actual dinosaur, Heather made a dinosaur named after Chris, even having his picture for the head, which Chris clearly likes best. Cody shows his small dog sized dinosaur made of light rocks, which Alejandro points out that its fossilized dinosaur poop. When Sierra shows her's it symbolizes a broken heart with glitter glue, a dinosaur skull and a party hat. When Cody asks about the hat, Sierra reveals that today is Cody's birthday, something even Cody forgot. Cody is grateful that Sierra remembered his birthday. Chris then shows that the four finalists will now be voting on who's dinosaur is the best in a lie-detector electric chair, not being able to vote for their own. Heather and Alejandro voted for Sierra's, Sierra voted for Heather's due to her and her mom's crush for him, and finally Cody votes for Sierra's too since she remembered his birthday. Since Sierra won the first part of the challenge, she gets a post digger for the second part. Sierra then points the post digger at Heather and chases her with an evil grin.

The second part of the challenge now is to find several barrels of oil that the interns had accidentally buried. The interns were supposed to have buried barrels full of maple syrup, sugar, spiders, and snakes but buried the oil barrels by mistake. Since Heather got one vote, she is given a prospector kit. Since Alejandro's dinosaur is not imaginary, he comes in last and gets nothing, while Cody gets a beach bucket and a shovel for getting third. The major issue though is that Drumheller is huge, therefore, it will take forever to find the barrels. For a 'fun' twist, random boulders will be flung into the valley to disrupt the contestants. Alejandro is forced to dig with his bare hands and Heather mocks him for it. Eventually, Alejandro snaps and yells at Heather, demanding that she leave him alone. Taken back by his anger, a terrified Heather quickly leaves.

Cody and Sierra are then seen walking around and trying to find a digging spot. With Sierra being mad, Cody tries to figure out what's wrong with her, but is interrupted by a flying boulder landing right near them, which Cody saves Sierra from. Cody finds the picture Sierra had and wonders how it happened. Sierra is about to tear it up again, but Cody points out that since the picture is only of him and Heather, that it can't be real since the only time Sierra leaves Cody alone is when he has to go to the bathroom and the picture is in economy class. Cody and Sierra realize what Alejandro tried to do, and while digging out of anger Sierra finds a barrel. Cody lets Sierra take it for immunity, and both decide that if one of them sees Heather, they will explain what happened, and convince her to vote for Alejandro with them. When Sierra gets back to the plan, she goes inside to get Cody's surprise ready instead of staying at the barbecue with Chris.

Heather, frustrated with all the digging, hurls her pick-axe and hits a barrel. Before she can dig it out, though, a boulder traps her in the dirt she had been digging. Alejandro, finding a barrel of his own, hears Heather's cry for help, and goes to check on her. Chris cues them to sing a song, where Alejandro first plans to leave Heather in the hole so she will lose and surely be eliminated. Heather points out that her losing due to being stuck in a hole is a hollow victory and that he should at least beat her fair and square, which makes him reconsider. He frees her and holds her for a moment, making her promise to never vote for him again, to which she agrees since there are few votes left. Alejandro explains in the confessional that he just changed his mind about leaving Heather, and didn't help her because he likes her. They bring in the two barrels, and tie for second. Heather is seen in the confessional when Sierra comes in and tells her about Alejandro's scheme.

Chris has a marshmallow ceremony in honor of the first season. Sierra gets the first marshmallow and Heather gets the second, as both did not receive any votes. Chris then reads the votes revealing two are for Alejandro and one is for Cody. Before Chris reads the last vote, Sierra interrupts and asks to go get something before anyone is eliminated. Sierra reveals Cody's surprise to be a cake with firework-like sparklers as candles. The others realize that Sierra is standing right in the middle of the spilled oil, and that the sparks are starting to fall right into it. They scream at her to watch out, but she doesn't know what they mean. All of the animals and Ezekiel are seen running from the Total Drama Jumbo Jet moments before it explodes. Sierra is then seen covered in soot, charred, and saddened that her cake is ruined. Alejandro asks if she is okay, to which she angrily asks him if she looks okay as what's left of her hair disintegrates. Chris, now furious about the plane being gone, declares Sierra eliminated, even though she had immunity.

Heather is shown high-fiving Alejandro for making it to the final three with Cody, but Heather rushes to do something important. Heather is seen attempting to burn the votes in the fire, but Alejandro, hiding behind one of the fallen tiki statues, immediately approaches the fire after Heather leaves and manages to pull them out before they burn completely. He finds three votes against him, meaning that if Sierra hadn't blown up the plane, he would have gone home. More importantly: Heather voted him off even though they were in an alliance. The reason Heather voted for Alejandro is she didn't believe she could beat him in the final three. Alejandro then swears vengeance for betraying him. An extremely sad Chris signs off the show and is almost about to cry.

Cast

 * Ezekiel also makes another cameo, and seems to be screaming with the other animals, but has no lines.

Quotes
Sierra: You were having a terrible nightmare! Heather: Did somebody say we were making grade three art projects? Sierra: Well, I let you go to the bathroom all the time! Heather: Of course not. There's only like two votes left anyway. Alejandro: Promise? Heather: I promise. Now can you cut the King Kong act and put me the hell-er down?! (Alejandro puts her down, she picks up her pick-axe and is about to dig for her barrel when Alejandro stops her) Alejandro: Uh, uh. Now you will help me dig up a barrel. (puts hand on Heather's shoulder) We will finish this challenge together. Heather: (in confessional) Anyone who asks me if I liked having his hand on my shoulder will be wedged in a hole of their own, got it? It is all strategic. Alejandro: (in confessional) I did not let my feelings get in the way of the game. It's just that I... changed my mind. Got it? It's all strategic. Sierra: We need to talk. Chris: (shocked) MY BEAUTIFUL PLANE!!! NO-O-O!! Cody: Are you okay?! Sierra: (squeaky voice) It was chocolate, your favorite! Alejandro: Are you okay?! Sierra: Do I look okay?! (her hair then disintegrates) Heather: Chris, hey Chris... Chris: (angry) Ah, she's fine. Although I guess with the whole "blowing up my plane" business, SHE'S OUT OF THE GAME!!! Alejandro: So, the final three? It's Cody, Heather, and me? Sierra: (on the verge of tears) Cody, you must win it for both of us. Heather: (uneasily when Alejandro offers her a high five) Whoo. Yeah. (high fives Alejandro) Uh, be right back. (Heather burns the votes when no one's looking. Alejandro, coming out of hiding, retrieves the votes)
 * Cody: Of course I'll marry you, Gwen. Sierra? Oh, she had quite a bad rollerskating accident. Don't worry your pretty head ab- (sees Sierra staring at him) Ahh! Sierra, what are you doing?
 * Sierra: Glitter glue, stickers, puffy paint. Yes!
 * Alejandro: This impressive fellow is the Allosaurus. And yes, that's his real name.
 * Heather: (in confessional) Remember his birthday? Twerp is lucky I remember his name.

Uh, if you're planning my murder, remember, we are on TV and everyone-
 * Cody: (concerned) Sierra!!

Trivia

 * This is the fourth time that Canada is visited in Total Drama World Tour. This makes Canada the location visited the most amount of times in the season, but that changes in Planes, Trains, and Hot Air Mobiles, when the USA is also visited for the fourth time.
 * This is the second time that a person who won the challenge and gained invincibility was eliminated in the same episode, in this case, Sierra. The first was DJ in The Sand Witch Project.
 * This is also the second time where someone was eliminated right after losing their hair. The first was Heather.
 * This is the first time a contestant with invincibility was eliminated in a challenge post merge.
 * This is the first episode that reveals the date of when the episode took place, April 1st. This is due to Sierra revealing Cody's birthday in an earlier episode.
 * This is the second time that Chris personally eliminates someone other than the contestant with the most the votes. The first time was an intern in Greece's Pieces, in order to keep Duncan and the drama on the show for at least another episode.
 * This is the fourth time someone has become bald, and the first time this has happened on-screen, in this case Sierra. Heather was the first one to become bald during the semifinals of Total Drama Island. Chris was the second, being shown to be bald and that he wears a wig during a behind-the-scenes clip of him played during the season 2 finale and was seen wearing a bald cap in African Lying Safari. Ezekiel was the third, where he lost his hair sometime between Chinese Fake-Out and African Lying Safari, due to being in such a critical state of malnutrition.
 * Oddly, the two contestants to be eliminated after they became bald are female, were on the same team in season three, and were the second highest ranking female in the season they became bald in.
 * This episode was written by Nicole Demerse.
 * The two tasks in this episode are both tasks Alberta is well known for: dinosaur bones reside in the Badlands (including near Drumheller), while the Athabasca oil sands near Fort McMurray is the second-largest oil deposit in the world.
 * The animals that are seen evacuating from the plane moments before it explodes are: Ezekiel, Sasquatchanakwa, the horse, three rats, the seagull, the baby seal, two chipmunks, and the bear.
 * In this episode, Chris does a tribute to Total Drama Island by doing a mock Campfire Ceremony rather than the usual Barf Bag Ceremony. This is the first time in the series that the format of a previous season's elimination ceremony is used in a season rather than the usual one for that season.
 * The electric chair from The Aftermath: III is used for the judging section of the first challenge.
 * It also makes Heather the first person to use the chair in more than one episode.
 * Heather and Alejandro were the only ones to be electrocuted on it.
 * The way Chris lets the contestants obtain and use materials to help them in the challenge is similar to Wawanakwa Gone Wild! and Super Hero-ld.
 * Interestingly, there has been one of those types of challenges in each season of Total Drama thus far.
 * This is the second episode where someone gets three votes against them but wasn't eliminated. In this case, Alejandro.
 * The first was, ironically, Sierra in the last episode. Chris saved her back then for he revealed after her "elimination" that it was a fake elimination ceremony, but this time, he disqualified her from the competition after she accidentally blew up the plane they traveled in throughout the season despite her having immunity.
 * Unlike preceding seasons, this episode confirms that season three is taking place during the spring instead of the summer.
 * However, since April 1st is in the beginning of spring, season three must have also started in winter, given the time that is required to travel to all the places visited in this season as well as two episodes in locations that exhibit winter in the Northern Hemisphere.
 * With Heather voting off Alejandro, this is the first time since That's Off the Chain! in which Heather turned against her own ally.
 * This is the only time in Total Drama World Tour where Cody received a vote against him during elimination.
 * Alejandro is the one who voted for him.
 * Chris's tribute to the original season could be foreshadowing how the next season, Total Drama Reloaded, will be heading back to Camp Wawanakwa.

Goofs

 * At the campfire finale, the passport bindings were sorted two out and two in. After giving Sierra her marshmallow, though, they were one out and three in.
 * The plane was shown leaving the middle of South America, while Easter Island is in the Pacific Ocean off the coast of Chile.
 * Heather is shown sleeping in one of the first class seats near the aisle. Though later when Alejandro joins her, she is sleeping near a window seat instead.
 * When Sierra squirts Heather with glitter glue, Heather's eyes and eyebrows aren't seen. They appear all of a sudden when she steals the canvas that Cody was going to use for his dinosaur.
 * When Heather realized that Cody's dinosaur was made of fossilized dinosaur poop, her eye slightly passes the border of her face.
 * When Chris knocks over a barrel that the interns were suppose to bury to open it, cockroaches and rattlesnakes were seen coming out of the barrel and attacking an intern. Chris never said that the barrels contained cockroaches, only maple syrup, sugar, spiders, and rattlesnakes.
 * When Heather jumps back after Sierra barges into her confessional, her right foot appears like a left foot and her right hand is oddly drawn.
 * The door that all the animals on the plane used to get out opened on its own.
 * Also, when the door was closed, the handle was on the left side of the door, but when it opened, the handle moved to the opposite side of the door.
 * When Sierra's hair disintegrates, a small portion of it from the side stays on and the pile of ash that forms when her hair disintegrated is small and a light gray, but after Chris disqualifies her for accidentally blowing up his plane, the piece of hair on the side of Sierra's head is gone and the pile of ash behind her changes shape and becomes black.
