The Aftermath: II

'''Total Drama Action Aftermath returns with DJ and Gwen as the guests of honor. Trouble begins on set as Geoff attempts to boost viewers with harsh games and embarrassing clips and Gwen finds that her old friends from TDI do not approve of her actions over the season.'''

Plot
Bridgette and Geoff welcome everyone back for another episode of TDA Aftermath. Bridgette introduces the people in the VIP section, now with Trent and Izzy joining them. Katie starts to flirt with Trent, only to have Sadie argue that she gets to flirt with him. Bridgette finds Geoff has left and asks Courtney if she has anything to say about the three shocking eliminations, to which Courtney says her lawyer advised her not to say anything. Geoff returns as Bridgette says she's happy she was eliminated before all the chaotic challenges started. Geoff then starts a viewing called "That's Going to Leave a Mark," showing all the times during the past episode in which someone got hit. Bridgette then tells Geoff that he couldn't just leave her alone on T.V, to which he says he had seven strands of his hair out of place and had to fix it.

The first guest is DJ, whose mother comes out on stage. After Geoff returns again, Bridgette shows what has happened to DJ over the past episodes. DJ finally comes out, and says he has his dignity. Geoff says that's dumb and asks if anyone agrees. Ezekiel then claps in agreement, to which Geoff thanks him. Geoff then starts a game called Truth or Anvil (which was changed from Truth or Hammer since the producers thought an anvil would be better than a hammer). Worried about DJ's health, Bridgette instead has Geoff show clips of DJ's time on TDA. This reveals that Chef supplied him with new clean clothes and pills to help him perform better, as well as other treats. DJ also reveals in the clips that he enjoyed it and was cool with it, though later clips reveal that Chef made him say such things. Geoff tries to get DJ to lie so the anvil will fall (boosting ratings), but Bridgette cuts to a fan of DJ, Gordon, who is a chef in London who can't figure out the secret ingredient to make DJ Sandwiches. DJ says he doesn't use a recipe, causing the anvil to fall (but he dodges it at the last minute). DJ's mother hands out sandwiches to everyone except Geoff (who refuses to eat it). When he reveals he is not eating it to stay thin and insults Bridgette's weight in the process, Bridgette attacks him and attempts to shove some sandwiches down his throat.

After returning from a commercial break, Bridgette successfully gets a sandwich down Geoff's mouth. He starts to like it and eat more. Gwen comes out next, though she is hesitant to face everyone for her past actions. Geoff then shows a clip revealing that Katie and Sadie dislike Gwen, when Bridgette asks the two to comment, they are too busy flirting with Trent. Bridgette asks Gwen how she feels about her betrayal of Trent, to which Gwen blows it off by insisting they talk about something else. Geoff however refuses to let it go since it boosts ratings and draws Gwen into a game of Truth or Anvil. An angry Bridgette warns Gwen about what she says (to which Geoff gets upset). Gwen reveals she still likes Trent and everyone else (which touches Trent and angers Courtney when Duncan is brought up). When Gwen says Duncan didn't vote her off, Courtney says that she had her "goth girl hooks" in him. When Gwen reveals that Duncan is always thinking of Courtney, Geoff shows some clips involving Gwen and Duncan on a bridge. Though Courtney is happy for a while, the clip later reveals Gwen falling on the ground with Duncan on top of her. When seeing how close their lips are, Courtney gets angry and leaves the stage to talk to her lawyer, despite Gwen revealing they just got up and stole everyone's underwear later.

Geoff then starts another game in which Gwen will be put on a seat and dunked in a pool of piranhas (similar to a carnival game). Bridgette protests but Gwen accepts the dare. Trent steps in and reveals he rigged the Grips challenges, and that Gwen was not to blame, saving her from having to perform the stunt. He then tells her that they are even, as he is now popular with the ladies. Gwen then apologizes for how everything went down. Geoff reveals that Trent has been getting a lot of fan mail. Another fan of Trent calls in, revealing she is dating a Trent doll and writes a disturbing poem. When an intern brings in fan mail for Trent, Izzy is knocked out of her seat, revealing she is just a standee. The real Izzy swings in on a vine and lands over the pirana tank. She attempts to get a guest spot again (but can't due to an earlier appearance). Bridgette calls in Chef to take Izzy away, but she lures him into the piranha tank and escapes. A question from a fan comes in to Gwen asking what to do about a bad boyfriend, to which Gwen says to be straight up. DJ asks Bridgette if she can't be honest, to which Bridgette says the letter wasn't from her. The anvil then falls for DJ and Gwen, but DJ saves them both and Gwen believes that it was for Bridgette. Bridgette then ends the show and grabs Geoff by the ear. She then drags him backstage and says they have to talk now.
