Recap
Sierra is seen in economy class excited for a beautiful day. In the confessional, she admits that she is excited that Gwen is gone, hoping now that Cody will pay more attention to her and get over Gwen. However, Cody is still sad about Gwen being gone and sighs about it. Alejandro is seen flirting with Courtney (continuing his plan from the previous episode) by commenting that she is the only pretty competitor in the competition, much to Heather's annoyance. Owen and Duncan are seen eating chocolate chip cookies, clearly enjoying the first class section. Alejandro comes in and grabs two cookies then heads out. Owen is curious if Duncan feels awkward about Alejandro and Courtney being together, but Duncan reassures him that he doesn't care. Owen then begins talking to Duncan about how Noah had told him that Alejandro was attracted to Heather, this interests Duncan, who asks for more information. Owen then tells Duncan about how Noah had described Alejandro in I See London..., immediately understanding what Noah had meant, Duncan suggests that in order to respect Noah's parting words, he and Owen should not trust Alejandro and consider him an enemy. Alejandro is seen back in the economy section giving Courtney a cookie, she and Alejandro then feed each other the cookies. Alejandro points out in the confessional that now that she and Duncan are broken up, Courtney had become easy to manipulate. Heather, clearly jealous, tries to get Alejandro's attention, but to no avail.

The Total Drama Jumbo Jet then lands on a icy lake in the frozen land of Sweden. While the cast is freezing Heather ask if those jackets he ordered in the Yukon are available yet, but Chris replies that they aren't. Courtney asks Duncan to apologize about kissing Gwen, but Duncan refuses. Alejandro then cuddles Courtney to keep her warm, convincing her that it would make Duncan jealous. Heather notices their cuddling and tries to cuddle with Duncan in return, but he refuses to. Chris then greets them with a Swedish accent. The contestants ask him where their jackets are, but Chris informs them that they will be arriving in six-to-eight weeks. He then announces the challenge: they are supposed to build some kind of contraption out of a pile of parts, and they have to figure out what it is they are supposed to be building. The winner will win an advantage in the next challenge. Heather and Courtney almost immediately begin arguing, and Owen inadvertently suggests they build a boat, which Duncan and Alejandro agree to, but they try to keep it a secret.

Cody figures something out and begins to work on Team Amazon's pile of stuff, and the others let him work. but when he is done it is revealed he built Gwen's head. Heather tries to attack him with a mallet in anger, chasing him around Gwen's face mutliple times, but Sierra interrupts with a massive metal rod, and they start fighting. In the ensuing battle, Courtney is knocked unconscious by a wide swing. Chris then signals them to sing. Alejandro warns Owen not to tell the Amazon's what they are building, causing him to do just that. They then sing We Built Gwen's Face. Owen then farts on the ice, causing the ice to break and Team Chris Is Really Really Really Really Hot to set sail. The Amazon's cut the top off of their wooden Gwen head and hop in it before the water gets to them. For finishing first, the boys get a sack of seemingly useless rocks. Duncan and Alejandro flatter Owen to try and gain his trust, and they make him captain of their ship. They must capture a flag first or sink the other team's boat with cannons. The rocks are revealed to be flint rocks to fire their cannon. Instead of going for the flag, Owen orders them to attack the Amazons and to talk like "Vikings", while accidentally using a pirate accent instead. The Amazon's fire first and miss which causes a back and forth fireing. Just when it looks like the Amazons are going to win, Owen orders them to shoot him out of the cannon, destroying the Amazons "ship", winning the challenge for his team. Heather then confronts Alejandro and wants to know why he is picking off her teammates and ignoring her. He then explains that he is trying to get rid of Courtney and for his plan to work he has to make her think he likes her. Alejandro then comments in the confessional how jealous Heather is. Owen is then shown talking to Duncan, feeling conflicted about if he should trust Alejandro, while Duncan carves Gwen's face into the side of his chair. Duncan advises him to "do what Noah would do". Owen seems to agree. At the elimination ceremony, Sierra, Cody, and Heather all agree to vote off Courtney, but Chris then reveals it to be a reward challenge. Chris then signs off the episode.

Quotes
Alejandro: My mother always said that a way to a woman's heart is a long road, but shortcuts are made of chocolate. (Sierra and Heather begin to fight) Heather: Get down here and die like a man! Duncan: Yeah, me too. And the best way to show him what his friendship meant to us is to obey his dying words. Owen: What?! When did he die!? Duncan: No, no, no, no, he's fine. I meant his parting, his parting words. Sierra: Hmmm, no. Heather: I think I sat in gum! Oh no! Sierra: Uh, nope, you're all good. Heather: Someone look at my booty! Is it- Sierra: (angrily) Totally clean! Wow! Obsess much? Duncan: What? Courtney: Your apology? Duncan: For...? Courtney: For what?! Ugh, for Gwen! Cody: (sighs) Duncan: For who? Courtney: For Gwen! Cody: (sighs) Courtney: Gah! Cody: (sighs) Courtney: Stop breathing so loud! Duncan: A compliment and an insult at the same time. Impressive. Alejandro: Yes. My people call it a complinsult. Courtney: I am not! It's impossible to steer straight in this stupid goth head! Alejandro: Surely I do not have to explain it to you, we are in a competition. Heather: Oh sure, so picking off my teammates while you totally blank me is strategy now!? Alejandro: Indeed it is, when dealing with jealousy! Heather: I am not jealous! You arrogant... Alejandro: Of course, I refer to Courtney! I must make her believe no one else exists for me. If she is focused on us, you can blindside her. Believe me, Heather, the only woman I want to look at is you. Heather: Uh, that's... you're being so... uh, whatev. (Alejandro puts his hand on her face) Chris: All losers, please report to the elimination area, all losers! Alejandro: Now, go vote her off already! (in confessional) Heather is so jealous. This is great! Uh... not because I want her, too... because she'll be that much easier to eliminate.
