Ocean's Eight - Or Nine

'''The two teams compete in three bank heist themed challenges as one castmate starts regretting their past actions. Then the action really heats up when an old player returns to the show, which leads to the losing team trying to send a bossy player home, but in the end, one of their best friends are sent home instead.'''

Plot
The two teams sit in the Craft Services Tent, eating breakfast. Duncan is seen carving into the table, as Harold sticks his tongue out at Heather after she calls him a nerd, and Duncan a vandal. LeShawna tries to ease the tension by telling them not to act like that, or else they would all be going home. Unfortunately, the rest of the Gaffers are still holding a grudge towards her previous actions. This causes her to leave the tent, but, as she leaves the tent, she gets "bagged" by an intern and taken off-screen. At the Grips', Owen is seen to be happy to "eat like normal people" now that his jaw has been unwired, much to the rest of his teams' dismay. As he gorges, he seems to smell something coming from a different area, somersaults into the kitchen, and only to find out that it was steam. As he begins to look for Chef, he gets "bagged" by an intern, as well, and gets taken off-screen.

Back in the tent, a hole gets cut into it from the outside and Chris is seen to come through it, saying that it was a hint to their next challenge, explaining that they would be contributing to an action, heist-flick. Before the challenge could be started, Justin tells Chris that their team is missing a player, right before Heather says the same, in an uncaring mode, that they are missing one too, but they don't care. Chris tells the cast-mates that their disappearance was part of the challenge they would be participating in. Owen and LeShawna were taken into tightly-locked bank vaults. LeShawna seemed to be happy that she was away from their team because of the grief, though Owen seems to be upset since there was no catering in the vault.

At the Gaffers' vault, Harold tries to unlock the vault, but Heather starts a conflict by telling him that she needs to do it. Harold uses facts as to why he needs to be the one to unlock the vault (captain of Picky Steve's Lock Picking Camp); however, Heather slaps his hands so she can try. He then slaps her hand away and they both end up getting into a slap fight over who's the better lock-picker, and forget all about the actual experienced criminal, much to his aggression. At the Grips' vault, Justin tries to explain to Lindsay exactly what the term "cracking the combination" actually meant. Again, Beth's boyfriend, Brady, gets mentioned. She tells her team of the obsession he has with cracking his knuckles, after this Lindsay and Justin look at her with disbelief. Harold, seen brutally beaten, is still seeming to try to unlock their team's vault. Heather begins getting impatient and starts to tap her foot, as Harold says he needs quiet. Justin, then, still seems to be trying to tell Lindsay the meaning of the expression concerning the combination, but Lindsay takes it the wrong way and thinks that the combination is from her school locker (since it never changed). She tries putting it in, getting nowhere, and says that the whole thing was a lack of school spirit.

Heather begins to think strategically as to what the code might be, as she thinks Chris was the one who made the combination. She believes that the combination could be something that he loves, himself. First, she tries his birthday. Getting it incorrect, Harold makes a buzzer noise, as if they were on a game show. Heather then tries Chris's measurements, incorrectly, and gets another buzzer noise. Before she could even get her third suggestion in, Harold makes the buzzer noise, much to her hatred. Lindsay starts jumping on the safe-cracker, as Beth pulls, with no type of effort on the vault lock. Justin then tries to use his manipulative ways on Chris, trying to trade him a shoulder rub and other "guy stuff" for the combination, to the extent of making Chris feel uncomfortable. Heather comes up with another idea, using a bobby pin, which doesn't work, of course.

Owen then is heard to be getting very hungry in the vault, and Justin comes up with an idea to pipe food into the vault, so Owen's "hunger power" is unleashed, so he would break himself out. He says it's a good idea, but realizes that they had no food to use. Beth, then, breaks out an elixir called Desperado, the Fragrance of Last Resort, a potent potion that smells like roast chicken. Beth sprays the elixir in the vents that lead to the vault. Owen, of course, smells them and makes an Incredible Hulk reference saying that nobody would "like him when he's hungry." He then breaks out on his own, the Grips' get the bank-robbing equipment, and get the lead to the next part of the challenge. However, Owen begins to hallucinate into thinking his teammates are food, on account of the long period of time away from it.

Duncan then realizes that he really doesn't even need LeShawna or the bank-robbing equipment inside. Duncan and Heather decide to leave LeShawna. Even though Harold tries to change their minds, he gets swayed into doing so as well. The Grips' seem to be pulling ahead, as the Gaffers go back to the boys' trailer to make their own fake bank-robbing equipment, out of Harold's necessities and items. Back at the vaults, LeShawna, still inside, begins wondering where her team is. She seems to know for sure that they would be there in to break her out, so she decides to take a nap, only to be awakened by her paranoia thoughts as to where her team could be.

Duncan, Harold, and Heather then arrive at the bank robbing site, and actually beat the Grips, on account of Owen's hunger slowing them down. Owen begins imagining his team as edible food items again, as Justin says that Owen's starting to get mentally deranged. He tosses some breath mints in his mouth, Lindsay gives him lip gloss that's cherry and pineapple flavor, and Beth unscrews the top off her Desperado elixir and feeds him the liquid of it since the smell worked the first time. It seems to work, and the Grips get on their way to the bank teller. Unfortunately, the Gaffers' are already at the mysterious teller. Duncan tells her that she needs to start giving them money now. The teller then asks if there was anything else that she could do, takes off her wig, says his name (which catches Duncan's attention), and exposes herself as Courtney. This shock actually causes Duncan to pass out.

Back from the commercial break, the Grips have made it to the teller's desk and see Courtney and the Gaffers. Chris is then seen struggling to read a contract from Courtney's lawyers, stating that she will be back for the duration of the game (or until she gets voted off). Chris then tells Courtney that, since she was the teller, she gets to choose who wins first prize, the money. She quickly gives it to the Gaffers, unknowing that she just gave herself away as second prize to the Grips, which makes her upset. The host then says for the teams to get to their getaway cars quickly to finish the challenge. As the cast-mates get to their cars, they are disappointed to see that not only are the 'cars" go-carts, but they must also put them together. Later, at the vaults, LeShawna is seen to still be inside the Gaffer vault. She begins to believe that the Gaffers only left her in the vault because of her mistake, when that really wasn't the reason at all. Thinking that her team is still there, she verbally apologizes, to no avail. At the car site, Duncan, Harold, and Heather are seen working on the now-seen-to-be Go-Karts. At the Grips' car, Justin looks over to Duncan and the Gaffers until Courtney commands him to start working, though to no avail, since Justin refused to do anything that would get grease on his epidermis. Courtney notices that the others had disappeared; Lindsay and Beth were shown being chased by Owen, who was hallucinating, thinking they were movie snacks. Later, Duncan gets finished with the Gaffer Go-Kart and they get started on their getaway. He stops to taunt Courtney, saying that she may get to see more of Duncan when the teams merge. Afterward, he rockets off, and Courtney gets stressed when seeing the absence of most of their car parts and teammates. Beth and the others come back, saying that they had to re-wire Owen's jaw because of his constant hallucinations. Unfortunately, due to Owen, the Grips' wheels seemed to be out of commission. Courtney suggests improvising.

Racing down the hill, the Gaffers' have very unfortunate mistakes, which included crashing into a rack of clothes; backdrops of a log truck, a closed road, a police roadblock, and space (all seeming to look real before the crashing); and a plastic replica of a man with a hooked hand. At the top of the hill, Courtney and the Grips use their feet as the wheels for their cars. Courtney begins to slave her team telling them to "mush" as if they were dogs, much to Beth's dismay. Nearing finish, the Gaffers are yards away from the finish line. Unfortunately, they run out of gas just a few yards away from the line. As Duncan keeps trying to turn over the engine, Courtney and the Grips begin to catch up and eventually pass them. As they pass the Gaffers, Courtney says that she knew she could win, even with a terrible team. The Gaffers end up having to push their Go-Kart, while watching the Grips basically go off with the win. It looks that way, but unfortunately, the Grips crash within closing feet to the finish line, and the Gaffers virtually win that challenge. Chris tells the Gaffers that they are the winners and get to enjoy their loot prize. They head back to the trailers, and Duncan dumps out the money, thinking that it's really money. Heather reads out that it is "non-negotiable Chris cash, accepted only in the Total Drama Action Craft Services Tent towards the purchase of tap water".

At the ceremony, the Grips are getting ready to vote someone off, when the viewer sees LeShawna still in the bank vault, claiming that the whole situation is cruel. At the ceremony, Chris tells the cast-mates that, due to her recent returning and her lawyer's contract, Courtney could not be voted out. The cast-mates vote, and it's declared that Beth, Lindsay, and Justin are safe. Chris then gets mad when he sees 4 votes against Courtney. Justin and Lindsay said that they couldn't help themselves but click her button. Since Courtney's vote was the only one that could officially count, Owen was eliminated. The cast-mates then see the mistake they made, realize they could do nothing about it, and ask Owen to give a farewell speech.

Owen starts his speech thanking the Gilded Chris Academy. He then begins to go into small hallucinations. He thanks Justin (picturing him as a hot dog), Lindsay (picturing her as a bottle of pop), Beth (picturing her as a drumstick), and Chris (picturing him as a slice of pizza). As he begins to take a long time to finish his speech, he gets cut off, and starts thanking people quickly. Lindsay, Justin, and Beth then throw their Gilded Chris' at Owen so he can eat one. Chris then says that the show comes to an end, as long as there were no loose ends to tie up. He asks Chef if anything was left to do, and he thinks back to LeShawna, who is still in the vault. Unfortunately, he ignores it and tells Chris that nothing was left, and they walk off-screen.

Quotes

 * Chris: It's time for some more... Total! Drama! Action! (drives his car into a tree) Aw, crap!

Duncan: What? Heather: Vandal! (looks to her other side at Harold) Nerd. (Harold blows a raspberry at her) LeShawna: We have to all stop acting like babies, or everyone of us is going home. Harold: (in confessional) Ever since LeShawna sold us all up the river for a day at the spa, I've finally come to see that she's only looking out for herself. Of course, if I looked like that, I'd probably just look at myself all day too! Uhhh, but she's a bad, selfish person! Bad...(smiles)..so bad.
 * (all cast-mates are in the mess hall; Heather looks at Duncan, cutting the wooden table)

LeShawna: Nobody's gonna argue with her?! Harold: Sounds like an entertaining read. LeShawna: (angrily and upset) I'm going back to the trailer. Duncan: Try not to let the door hit your butt on the way out! Heather: (interrupts) Door? It's a tent, idiot boy! (all talking while LeShawna is leaving) Duncan: Um, it's a figure of speech. Harold: What you should have said was, "Don't let the flap flutter-- Duncan and Heather: Shut up, Harold! LeShawna: (outside the mess hall tent) They're gonna pay. LeShawna's revenge-- (an intern "bags" LeShawna and takes her away)
 * Heather: Come on, you guys. (referring to "One Flu Over the Cuckoos") What LeShawna did is for the best. Nobody needs a day at the spa, like she does. In fact, you could write a "tell-all" book about her hair-do called "Weave [We've] Got Problems!"

Justin: (looks disgusted) More like 10 normal people.
 * Owen: I am back on track! My jaws are unwired, and back in business! I can finally eat like normal people! (begins to scarf food down rapidly)

Beth: What an entrance! Chris: Consider it a hint to this week's movie genre! Duncan: Is it "Lame-O, Rock-Climbing, Wannabe Host" movies? Chris: No. This week we're paying tribute to the action packed, bank-heist, gangster, caper films. Justin: Uh, Chris? (refers to Owen) Our team is missing a player. Heather: (refers to LeShawna) So is ours, but we don't care. Chris: Owen and LeShawna are gone, people, because rescuing them is the first part of your challenge.
 * (Chris cuts a rectangular hole through the Craft Services tent and comes down by a rope)

Lindsay: (gasps) Justin: (gasps) Lindsay: (gasps again) Duncan: (yawns) Oh, pardon me.
 * Beth: (gasps)

LeShawna (inside separate bank vault) Dank as this bank tank is, it still beats hanging with my so-called teammates. Seriously, they've been giving me major 'tude for actually playing the game; like they would have done anything different.
 * Owen: (inside bank vault) Hello? Helloooooooooo?? I can handle being ambushed and carried away by unknown thugs who keep saying "Whoa, this dude is heavy!" but would it kill them to put a little catering in the vault?


 * Duncan: (in confessional; referring to attempts to open the bank vault door) The H-bombs, Harold and Heather, were so busy trying to figure out who's the world's biggest dweeb that they totally forgot I'm an experienced criminal. Frankly, it was a little insulting.

Lindsay: Ohhhh! My junior high locker combination! (putting in her school locker combination) It didn't change the whole three years I was in Grade 8, so it must be standard! (tries to open the vault, but to no avail) Oh, well, that's just bad school spirit!(Justin groans)
 * Justin: (referring to the bank vault's lock) It's an expression. "Crack open"? As in, we need to find the combo [combination]?


 * Heather: (referring to Chris and the bank vault lock combination) His birthday! (Heather puts in Chris's birthday as the lock combination, to no avail; Harold imitates a game show buzzer) Okay, then. His measurements! (Heather puts in the code, to no avail again; Harold imitates the buzzer again, Heather then knocks him down) The bar code number on his favorite hair gel? (Harold imitates a buzzer again) Stop doing that!

Chris: Justin? Justin: Uh-huh? Chris: You're making me kinda uncomfortable.
 * Justin: You know, Chris, I was thinking. Super hot guys like you and me have to stick together. So why don't you tell me what the combo is, and then we can talk about guy stuff? I'll give you a shoulder rub. Huh? Huh?


 * Owen: (inside bank vault) No, I've never tried plutonium. Is it spicy? (smells the perfume) Huh? (continues smelling) Oh, Sweet whipped topping, There's chicken out there! People shouldn't make me hungry! You wouldn't like me when I'm hungry!
 * Lindsay: Why is he looking at us like that?


 * Beth: Let's go rob a bank before Owen tries to eat us! Wow, there's something I never thought I'd say!

Courtney: Anything else I can do for you today, (Pulls off wig) Duncan? (Duncan squeaks and then faints)
 * Duncan: (At teller's desk) Afternoon, ma'am. That's a great set of legs you got there, but right now I'd like to focus on those lovely hands of yours. I need them to start filling this pillowcase with cash.

Heather: She got voted out fair and square! Courtney: Sorry, Heather, but myself and the law firm of Fleckman, Fleckman, Cohen and Grouse would beg to differ. We filed a wrongful dismissal lawsuit against the producers and won. Harold: Great news, eh, Duncan? (Duncan shoves Harold in the face and to the floor) Chris: So, Courtney, since you were our bank teller in the challenge, great job by the way, you get to decide which team deserves to win first prize, your bag of loot. Courtney: The choice is obvious, it's Duncan! I mean (strained) The Gaffers, since they were the only team that managed to get to my wicket. (Duncan walks up to get the bag) Congratulations. Duncan: (very confused and strained look and cracking voice) Thank you? Heather: I've seen manlier men trying on women's shoes. Chris: (waves hand over Grips) So that means, The Killer Grips win second prize! Justin: What's second prize? Chris: (waves hand over Courtney) Courtney! For the rest of the game, or until she's eliminated! Courtney: (in confessional) Those Total Drama dirtbags have some nerve making me second place. They will definitely be hearing from my lawyer (pulls out cell phone) again!
 * Chris: (straining to read a document from Courtney's lawyers) Teams, it is my (soft voice) honor (loud voice) to report that Courtney is back for the duration of the game. (Courtney waves to the Gaffers as Duncan looks scared) And, we're all (soft voice) exceedingly happy (loud voice) about it!

Lindsay: What's he talking about? Beth: (nervously) I don't know!
 * Owen: (chasing Lindsay and Beth, visualizing them as ice cream and a soda bottle) Mooovie snacks!

Courtney: At this point, I take it!
 * Duncan: Hey Courtney! Maybe you'll get to see more than just the back of me when the teams merge.

Harold: (in confessional; referring to the bra he was wearing) Okay, that was humiliating. The extra support was nice. (The Gaffers scream as they are about to crash into a truck, an unfinished road, police cars, and space, though they all turned out to be rolling paper backgrounds; they then crash into an old man, that happened to be made of a dense product) Courtney: (slaving The Grips) Faster, you deadbeats! The teams aren't called The Gaffers and The Slackers! Now, move! Mush, mush! Beth: "Mush"? We're not sled dogs! Courtney: Of course, you aren't! Cause, if you were, (points to Owen) this one would've eaten you!! Chris: (at the Finish Line) It looks like The Gaffers are about to make a clean getaway and win the challenge! (The Gaffers' Car sputters) Heather: What's happening!? Duncan: I think we're outta gas! Chris: I may have spoken too soon, ladies and gentleman. Talk about a holdup! Harold: They're gaining on us! (Duncan tries to start the car, but to no avail numerous times as Courtney and the Grips gain on them and eventually pass them) Courtney: I knew I could win this! Even with a team of complete duds! (The Gaffers begin pushing their cart to try catching up to The Grips) Harold: This is hard!
 * (Heather, Harold, & Duncan are cruising down the hill; they all scream as they run their car into a rack of clothes [giving them embarrassing outfits])

Chris: (waves the checkered flag) Wanna bet!? Heather: (reading) "...Non-negotiable Chris Cash, accepted only in the Total Drama Action Craft Services Tent, towards the purchase of water from the tap?" (Heather flips the bill to see Chris' smile on it) Harold: Sometimes, I really hate that smile of his. Chris: The time has come! (The Gilded Chris ceremony theme plays) LeShawna: (STILL in the bank vault) Now, tell me that is not the Gilded Chris Theme! This isn't funny anymore, y'all! This is downright cruel!! Chris: Like always, Killer Grips, one member of your team will not be receiving a coveted Gilded Chris, made of the finest Belgian chocolate. (Owen's stomach grumbles) But not like always, and this is important to remember: This week, according to our lawyers, none of you are allowed to vote off Courtney. You got that, dudes!? The show can't afford any more lawsuits! (whispers) My massage budget has been sliced in half! (Chef gives the vote to Chris) And the Gilded Chris Awards go to Beth, Lindsay, Justin (looks at vote sheet) Why do I have four votes to boot out Courtney when I specifically said you couldn't! Justin: I guess we couldn't help ourselves. Lindsay: No matter what, my finger would only press the "Courtney" button. Chris: (referring to Courtney) Well, that leaves us with one vote to count! Courtney: (with a smug look on her face) Owen. You've been eliminated. (Owen walks up to Chris) Justin: This is bull! Lindsay: You can't do that! Chris: Sorry, bud, no Chocolate Chris Award for you. Owen: Not even an ear? Justin, Beth, & Lindsay: Speech, speech, speech, speech! Courtney: He lost the game for us, guys. Hello? Chris: Anything in your contract that'll stop him from speaking? Courtney: Um, no...but -- Chris: Then...a little light for my friend here. (a spotlight shines on the newly dressed Owen in a tuxedo) Owen: (laughs) Oh, wow. I'd like to thank the academy -- Chris: The Academy of The Gilded Chris, trademarked, patented, and all mine. Owen: (beginning the first-ever Total Drama Farewell Speech) This has been the role of a lifetime. Thanks to Justin, (shows Justin as a hot dog in Owen's eyes) who inspired me everyday with his physical perfection and "hot dogginess". To Lindsay, (shows Lindsay as a bottle of soda) who is also beautiful, in a "soda-poppy" kind of way. To Beth, (shows Beth as a chicken leg) who motivated me with her delicious crispy skin, (Beth frowns) and her tender, juicy goodness. To Chris, (shows Chris as a slice of pizza) who also smells -- (The Gilded Chris theme begins to play, as to cut Owen's speech short) What? No, no, you can't play me off yet! To my mom, who let me quit piano lessons! To my brothers, I'm sorry for scamming you out of your Halloween Candy. Lindsay: (in background) We love you, Owen!! (Lindsay, Justin, and Beth throw their Chocolate Chris's at Owen) Justin: This Chris is for you. Owen: (begins to mumble because of the Chris that landed in his mouth, and awakens from the flashback in regular clothes, on the ground) I love this game! Chris: And that wraps up another totally dramatic episode, without absolutely no loose-ends to tie up. Isn't that right, Chef? (Chef begins to think and remembers LeShawna in the vault) LeShawna: (talking about letting her out) Guys!? Yoo-hoo!? What do you say? Chef: (back at the Ceremony) Nope. Chris: Nah, didn't think so. (they walk off)
 * Courtney: (inches away from the Finish Line) Faster, faster! (The Grips Go-Kart begin to fall apart and crash centimeters away from the Line) AAH!! (The Gaffers cross the Finish Line) I will not be second place!!!
 * Duncan: (the Gaffers are emptying the bag of loot) We're rich! Look at all of this...
 * (The Grips are at the Gilded Chris Ceremony)
 * Owen: (In Lame-o-sine)If Lindsay and Beth hadn't looked so tasty, none of this would have happened. I guess you can't win 'em all, especially after suffering an injury to the body's most important organ - The mouth! Hey. Now that I'm free, I can go anywhere I want. (chuckles) Driver, take me to the nearest food court, and step on it! I've had more than enough action, it's time for some snackin'! Hoo-hoo! One last cheese squeeze before I go. (farts)
