Aftermath: Revenge of the Telethon

'''The second installment of aftermath includes a fundraiser in order to pay for the plane's fuel. The four eliminated contestants are interviewed, while trying to convince the viewers to donate $500,000. After a rampage, the goal is increased to one million dollars. Will they reach the enormous goal, or will Total Drama be gone for good?'''

Recap
With the plane running out of fuel in the last episode, the Total Drama World Tour Aftermath show is turned into a telethon to raise money so that the plane could be refueled and make it to the next destination. $500,000 is needed to refuel the plane, as explained in "Save This Show". Despite Bridgette and Geoff's moving duet, no money was raised. A few intensives were then offered, including Yum-Yum Happy Go Time snacks at $25, a T-shirt with Chris' face on it for $50, and one of Lindsay's unused lip gloss tubes for $100. Despite this, only $203 was raised, most of which was from Harold's mom if he would clean out the garage.

This inspires the hosts to start offering rewards if certain monetary goals are reached. Their first attempt is showing Total Drama Fugitives when they reach $10,000. Ezekiel was again spotted in the cargo hold of the plane, while there were two possible sightings of Duncan. Only an extra $100 was raised during this segment, though. They then bring out DJ, and show various clips of DJ hurting animals during the show (in the style of That's Gonna Leave a Mark). Afterwards, all the various animals DJ had hurt were brought out on stage in cages, and Geoff announces that DJ will pet an animal if a certain goal was reached. Blaineley, in an effort to raise even more money, released the animals, which started to attack not only DJ but the entire set and everyone on it.

After the commercial break, the studio is in ruins and Bridgette is bandaging an injured Geoff, however, over $300,000 dollars was raised. Unfortunately, due to the studio being wrecked, the new goal is $1,000,000. LeShawna was brought out to inspire more donations, and she was asked to sing about her betrayal by Alejandro. She asks to dance, but Bridgette, Geoff and Blaineley all insist that she merely sing. LeShawna then sings "Sisters", but does dance a little, with Harold and Bridgette dancing back-up. A phone call offers money if LeShawna stops dancing, but Bridgette insists that LeShawna will keep dancing until another $100,000 is raised; this goal is reached quite quickly. While on the topic of Alejandro, Blaineley shows various clips of him in order to amp up the drama between Bridgette and Geoff. Despite Bridgette putting a bag over her head, she still yearns to look, which inspires many calls. All of this is ruined, however, when Bridgette thanks Geoff for being so understanding and they kiss through the bag. However, this still raises a lot of money, bringing them to a total of about 720,000 dollars.

In the final attempt to get donations, Izzy is brought out, although she will only respond to the name "Brainzilla" due to her new-found intelligence. Izzy refers to herself in the third person, and speaks pedantically. The peanut gallery mysteriously disappears after her entrance, though Geoff says that he has it all under control. Izzy is strapped to a large trivia wheel, and will be asked questions based on the amount of money donated; the more money donated, the harder the questions. If Izzy gets the question wrong, she will fall into a pool of sharks. Despite the questions getting increasingly difficult, Izzy answers them all easily. After the third spin, though, the wheel breaks off and spins offstage, where Izzy suffers another blow to the head. Back to her old wild and crazy self, she has to defuse a bomb blindfolded to save the peanut gallery, who are slowly being lowered into the fish tank. Izzy then hits the bomb with a hammer, making it explode and scattering the crew and sharks all over the studio with Izzy completely blown through a television. By the end of the night, the grand total raised was $1,000,000.01. The show is saved, and Total Drama will be back for another episode.
