Recap
Sierra is seen in economy class excited for a beautiful day. In the confessional, she admits that she is excited that Gwen is finally gone from the show, hoping now that Cody will pay more attention to her and get over his long-term crush for 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 lands on a icy lake in the frozen land of Sweden. While the cast is freezing from the cold, Heather ask if those jackets he ordered in the Yukon are available yet, but Chris replies that they aren't. Courtney demands 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 multiple 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. Chris later gives Team Chris Is Really Really Really Really Hot a bag of rocks, which has the team ponder on what they would be used for. Owen's stomach begins to rumble, and Duncan asks him if he was going to pass gas, Owen confirms this and then runs, sits down on the ice and lets out a huge fart on the ice, causing the ice to break and Team Chris Is Really Really Really Really Hot to set sail. Sierra gains an idea and tells the Amazons to cut the top off of their wooden Gwen head and hop in it before the water gets to them. 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. Team Amazon nominate Cody as the captain, and are given no means to light the cannon.

The Amazon's fire first and miss which causes a back and forth firing. Owen uses his team's last piece of ammo and fires it out of the cannon, but it ends up hitting the mass of their ship and breaking it, leaving them stuck where they were. The Amazons pass them and when it looks like the Amazons are going to win, Owen orders them to shoot him out of the cannon. Duncan asks Owen if he's sure about what he's doing, but Owen assures him he is. Duncan lights the cannon with the flint and fires Owen straight at the Amazons' boat. Owen crashes into the enemy ship, completely destroying it and 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, leaving the Amazons minus Courtney, mad. 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! (Sierra and Heather fight, accidentally hitting Courtney in the midst, musical bell chimes) Chris: Time for a song! Alejandro: (to Owen) When you sing, do not mention that we're building a boat. Owen: We're building a boat!?!? Duncan: Yeah, me too. And the best way to show him what his friendship meant to us is to obey his dying words. Owen: (spits out cookie, lifts Duncan up by his shirt collar) 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. Duncan: With your shirt off? Courtney: Ha! Don't get me started! Courtney and Heather: Yeah! Courtney: Off with her head!

 * This is also the first time that the fake elimination featured a reward for the winning team.
 * This episode makes use of the quote: "Off with her head!", popularized by the Queen of Hearts in "Alice in Wonderland".

Goofs

 * When Chris introduces the campers to Sweden, Heather's top has a vertical line running straight down the middle, just like it did in Anything Yukon Do, I Can Do Better and Jamaica Me Sweat.
 * When Chris talks about the tiebreaker in the recap, he calls it panda-rific, but they had to feed koalas, not pandas.
 * When Team Chris Is Really Really Really Really Hot passes Team Amazon after they got their cannons, Cody is seen wearing a viking hat. But he gets it when they reach the shore, and should not have had it prior to this.
