Recap
Starting from where the previous episode ended, Chris decides to hold a tiebreaker between Cody and Alejandro to decide who ends up competing in the final two alongside Heather. Cody admits his happiness in the confessional but reveals he is also frightened of Alejandro. Alejandro admits that he is upset he tied with Cody and is imagining the insults his brother José is coming up with. All the losers and campers who did not make it in season three are watching the event for whom will win. Chris asked Heather if she would like to choose who would break the tie or let Cody and Alejandro decide. She decided to choose for herself. Chris said in a challenge booth there are balls with different tie breakers on them. So Heather goes inside and was pelted by golf balls which were supposed to be ping-pong balls as stated by Bridgette. Heather knocks one out of the booth which knocks Tyler unconscious. Another ball gets trapped in her throat and she coughs it up, Chris forces Geoff to pick up the saliva covered ball and read it, a reluctant Geoff obeys, reading out loud that the challenge is a traditional Hawaiian fire dance of death.

Cody and Alejandro have to wear grass skirts and coconut bras and use paddles to knock each other off their barge into shark infested water in order to save Heather, who is tied to a pole. Believing that the eliminated contestants will vote to decide the winner of the final two, Heather wants Alejandro to win, believing she would win in a popularity contest against him. Alejandro starts dominating Cody, then Sierra and Harold root for him while Courtney roots for Alejandro. Cody tries to fight back, but is distracted by Heather. Alejandro knocks Cody off the barge, which causes a shark to eat Cody. Alejandro unties Heather and wins the challenge which successfully eliminates Cody. Sierra, who is in the peanut gallery, saves Cody from the shark.

Chris announces a challenge where contestants sacrifice dummies that resemble their opponent into the volcano instead of a vote. Also believing that he would lose in a popularity contest, Alejandro is relieved to hear this. Originally, Chris had planned to throw real people in the volcano, but his lawyers had told him not to. They have to be made of wood and pineapples and must be made by people they choose to help them. Alejandro picks Courtney and Tyler but then chooses to go with Lindsay after she punches Tyler by accident. Heather asks if anyone wants to help her which causes Cody and Harold to volunteer. Cody then admits in a confessional that Heather has treated him nicely and that Alejandro deserves payback. Harold helps out because he is a fan of Cody. To make the challenge interesting, Chris forces them to sing a song.

By the end of the song, Alejandro finishes his sacrificial dummy first, giving him a twenty second head start. He also gets a wheelbarrow which Courtney won for him in an earlier episode. Heather ends up getting nothing. Chris lets her use the baby carriage Cody won but when she puts her dummy on it, it breaks. She then struggles up the mountain with a heavy dummy while Alejandro speeds ahead and taunts her. However, he almost falls in a river of lava that prevents him from using his wheelbarrow anymore. Heather catches up and Chris explains they have to cross the river while their Helpers can cut or not cut ropes that hold dangerous obstacles above each stone. Alejandro takes the lead and tells his team to cut the ropes. Heather tells her helpers to block them which they do. Cody tells the girls that there is a sale for mascara which causes Lindsay to run away in happiness, angering Courtney. Courtney takes down Harold and cuts a rope that drops a piano on Alejandro which shows that no one knows which rope leads to who. Heather then calls Alejandro "José". Alejandro reacts to this angrily and tells her to never call him that. Heather asks why, and Alejandro reveals it is the name of his older brother that torments him, mainly by calling him "Al". Cody then proceeds to use this to his advantage and distracts Alejandro by repeatedly calling him Al. Heather then passes Alejandro when Cody is distracting him. Cody then cuts a rope but it drops a cage on Heather which allows Alejandro to take the lead again. A sad Heather is on the verge of quitting but Cody gives her a pep talk, telling her that she is the good guy in this battle for the million. Heather escapes the cage and continues in the race.

Alejandro reaches the top where everyone is waiting. He is about to throw his dummy in the volcano until a crying Heather arrives. She tells him she worked so hard for this opportunity and that Alejandro will win and leave her. Alejandro answers by expelling a secret to her. He tells her she has stolen his heart. Heather than admits that she has feelings for him too. Everyone gasps, except Noah, who had already noticed the attraction several episodes earlier, and then are grossed out when Alejandro awkwardly kisses Heather. However, Heather then knees Alejandro in the groin and throws him off the volcano on a melting ice cube. Smirking, Heather explains that while having a boyfriend would have been nice, having a million dollars would be even nicer, Heather then throws her dummy into the lava and then jumps around in triumph. Heather stares in happiness at the case of money when some local Hawaiians ask if any pineapples were thrown in the volcano. Chris then admits he made the peanut gallery stand in front of some signs that say to not throw pineapples in volcanoes.

Everyone is worried about the volcano erupting when suddenly, a feral Ezekiel appears and attacks Heather for the case, managing to snatch it from her, only to fall into the volcano with it. Everyone runs from the erupting volcano and trample Alejandro, who is then covered in lava. They are heading for safety by swimming farther out into in the ocean, where Chris is about to sign off when Ezekiel is suddenly shot out of the volcano and crashes right into Chris and Chef's boat, sinking it. All of the contestants laugh but then swim away when flaming rocks start bombarding them. They all leave Heather behind to complain if she will get her money after all. She is unable to finish when a massive flaming boulder, significantly larger than all the others, hurtles towards her. She screams and tries to swim away, and the screen turns to static just as the rock is about to hit her.

After the credits, there is a scene showing Chris in a black robed outfit with a hood and cape, asking Chef if the machine will work to which Chef shrugs for an answer. Alejandro is seen on an operation table as a sad reflection of what he was prior to his lava accident: His skin is horrifically burned, most of his hair is gone, and his limbs are crushed, twisted, and mangled from the cast trampling him. He is being placed into the Drama Machine with the mask slowly being lowered onto his disfigured face. He arises as the machine and asks if the money is safe, to which Chris informs him of its fiery demise. Alejandro dramatically screams "No!" and Chris calls him a spaz, ending the episode.

Cast

 * Gwen, Izzy, DJ, Trent, Beth, Tyler, Katie, Justin, Noah and Eva all appear and cheer occasionally. Blaineley appears, but due to her mouth being covered in the bandages, makes no noise. Ezekiel appears, but only screams and makes animal noises.


 * Two Hawaiian natives and the Alejandro robot have lines, but it is unknown who voiced them.

Trivia

 * The title is a reference to the drink Hawaiian Punch.
 * This episode was written by Alex Ganetakos.
 * This is the first episode of Total Drama history that has scenes after the final credits.
 * This episode has only been aired in Australia so far, meaning that it may just be an alternate ending. The U.S. and Canadian versions have not yet been aired, and may have a different winner, and therefore, a different ending.
 * This is the first episode in the series in which the double elimination takes place over the course of the episode, as the first person is eliminated early on in the episode, and the second is eliminated at the end.
 * The ending of the episode is a direct parody to the ending of Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith where Anakin Skywalker gets a new body after being burned, and, upon learning of his wife's death, screams in agony. Likewise, Alejandro screams in despair upon learning that the million dollars was destroyed.
 * Ezekiel falling into the volcano with the money, was a reference to The Return of the King when Gollum falls into the volcano with the ring.
 * The million dollars is shown in green bills. This either means that the case was full of Canadian $20 bills, or American money was used for the shot. The highest denomination of Canadian bills, the $100, is brown in color.
 * This is the third episode this season to feature a double elimination, and the fifth overall.
 * The others are Alien Resurr-eggtion, Top Dog, Jamaica Me Sweat, and Chinese Fake Out.
 * This is the second time that both members of the elimination were of the same gender. In this case, both are male.
 * As Alejandro is questioning wearing a coconut bra, the beginning of Who You Gonna Root For? can be heard.
 * This episode's challenge may truly be considered the deadliest challenge in Total Drama history, just as Chris said it would be.
 * The new robotic body that Alejandro is given after the ending credits looks just like the Drama Machine from the Celebrity Manhunt's Total Drama Action Reunion Special.
 * This is the second season where the prize money is destroyed, making Duncan the only one to have his winning money perfectly intact.
 * And Beth if you include the Total Drama Action alternate ending, although she loses it in France.
 * This is the first time in the series that the million dollars is actually seen. In all other instances, the case it was contained in was never opened.
 * The boat that Chris and Chef are in at the end of the episode is the same one that was seen in Newf Kids on the Rock and Niagra Brawls.
 * This is one of the few episodes where no one signs off the episode.
 * Chris was about to sign out but was interrupted by Ezekiel.
 * Alejandro's helpers are the two girls who have still fallen for his charms, while Heather's helpers are the only two who can stand her, who happen to be boys. This also makes the final two "teams" mirror images, gender wise.
 * The helpers were contestants that were on Team Amazon and Team Victory.
 * This is the third episode where someone gives the middle finger, in this case, LeShawna to Heather..
 * The first was Lindsay in That's Off the Chain!, who also gave one to Heather.
 * The second was Duncan in Rock n' Rule.
 * By the end of this episode, the respective statuses of Ezekiel, Heather, and Blaineley are unknown. Ezekiel, while seen to survive falling into the volcano, crashed into Chris's boat at high-speed, and was never seen to resurface after it sank. Heather was last seen swimming away as a massive boulder was about to crush her, and Blaineley, while seen to roll away from the volcano with the rest of the cast, was not seen in the water with the others. It is possible that, due to the weight of the dolly she was attached to, she sank straight to the bottom.
 * The baby carriage seen in this episode is similar to the one seen in Broadway, Baby!.
 * When Alejandro kissed Heather, Courtney and Noah's reactions are not seen.
 * Both of Alejandro's helpers were former Killer Grips.
 * Heather has been on at least one team with both of her helpers.

Goofs

 * In the previous episode, Sierra loses her wheelchair when she and Cody were thrown off of it, but she is seen using a wheelchair again in this episode.
 * However, she may have just gotten another wheelchair.
 * Also, at the very end of the episode, when the cast is swimming away from the shower of flaming rocks, her wheelchair is gone. She most likely detached herself from it to avoid being pulled under by it.
 * At the very end of the episode, when the cast is swimming away from the shower of flaming rocks, Sierra is seen to be using her legs to swim, despite supposedly being paralyzed in her legs.
 * When the campers react in disgust to Alejandro and Heather's kiss, Gwen, Noah, Tyler, Katie, and LeShawna are missing.
 * After Alejandro gets kneed in the groin, Gwen appears but Courtney and Justin disappear.
 * After Heather knees Alejandro in the groin, no objects are in the shot. After the screen goes to the loser's reactions and back to Heather and Alejandro, the ice cube which Alejandro eventually lands on suddenly appears.
 * When all the losers are first shown gathered at the top of the volcano, Cody and Lindsay are there, when Cody had been previously shown being behind Heather, and Lindsay had run off due to a trick by Cody.
 * Oddly, when the pineapple signs are discovered, Justin is wearing Alejandro's boots, instead of his sandals.
 * When the pineapple signs are shown, Beth's badges are missing.
 * Geoff has no hat while on the volcano, but is wearing it once he's back on the beach below.
