The Aftermath: III

'''It's another exclusive episode of the Total Drama Action Aftermath, with not one, not two, but three former castmates are taking the stage! However, trouble starts on set as one host finally puts her foot down, tired of the other host's new attitude.'''

Plot
Geoff and Bridgette host another episode of the Total Drama Action Aftermath and it is clear at the beginning of the episode that there has been a lot of arguing going on between them. Geoff announces that Bridgette wants "more humanity" on the show, making it apparent that Geoff clearly does not agree with her. Bridgette reminds Geoff that the people who he is manipulating for ratings are his friends, and comments on how they have already lost the competition and that losing was enough of a punishment. Geoff then reminds her that the Aftermath is not like normal talk shows and that it is still technically a reality show. He then goes on about how real talk shows have much better lighting, which clearly annoys and angers some of the workers who have been seen on the set previously. He comments that the former castmates are free to talk about all their problems, but that he won't help them feel better. Geoff and Bridgette then get into another large fight, which leads to Bridgette call Geoff a "Chris clone." Geoff brushes it off and the two go back to hosting. They introduce the ex-contestants in the VIP section, with DJ and Gwen joining them. They then begin to talk about their three guests for this episode.

They soon bring out their first guest, Owen, who greets Izzy, Geoff, and Bridgette. However, he was sent straight into the "Truth or Electrocution" segment. With his arms full of food, Owen begins to participate and after Trent tells Owen to "tell the truth," Owen panics and starts going through a long tangent of wrongdoings he did as a child, since he believes it is what "telling the truth" was about. Geoff then begins to ask Owen questions about how he felt towards people who had done him wrong during his time on the set. Owen makes it through without being shocked by the chair, showing his surprising level of indifference towards Courtney and Chef Hatchet. Geoff then tells Owen that his family is broke, hoping to anger him. This also does not bother him too much. He is even happy to discover that his family now owns a cheese cellar. Owen even gets the chance to talk to his mother about it via webcam.

Meanwhile, Bridgette and Geoff have another fight, due to Geoff's sadistic treatment of Owen and making fun of Owen's 'idea' of promoting cheese on air. Bridgette then says that she doesn't even know who he is anymore and finally breaks up with him. Geoff seems crushed slightly while the "That's Gonna Leave a Mark" segment airs and before the commercial break, Owen commented on how "shocked" he looked and that Geoff suffered a bigger shock than he did.

After the break, the pair is shown to still be arguing. Bridgette begins to talk through Owen to Geoff and Geoff insists that they, themselves, should talk about it. Bridgette, while ignoring Geoff, announces the next two guests. Heather and Leshawna then come out and are brought right into the "Truth or Electrocution" segment as well. Geoff announces that he will do all of the talking from that point on. Leshawna is surprised at the chair, while Heather is indifferent. Heather starts off the segment first, talking about how her parents used electrocution to make her nicer. She then says that they can shock her all they want and manages to lie on every question she is asked while being shocked every single time. She is proven to think that Courtney is a solid competitor, that Lindsay isn't as dumb as she seems and that she thinks Beth may be a threat. They then stop questioning her and Bridgette shows a never-before-seen clip of Heather playing with "num-yos" near Harold. This moment was allegedly taped by Courtney's camera. The audience then laughs at her, as do Leshawna, Geoff, and Bridgette. They then move on to Leshawna.

Bridgette is worried, while Geoff assures that he will "go easy on her." Leshawna is first asked whether or not she considers Heather to be a friend. Leshawna responded positively, saying that Heather stood up for her and that is worth a lot. Leshawna next admitted that she would have been mad at herself too if she was in the other castmate's place in relation to the video that was made of her talking behind their backs. Harvey then appears on webcam, asking if there is still hope for Harold and Leshawna. Leshawna claims that they are "just friends" and that is "all they'll ever be." Geoff is intrigued and asks Leshawna how she feels about Harold, revealing a never-before-seen clip similar to Heather's, only that Leshawna is seen staring at Harold admiringly. Leshawna then admits that she still likes Harold, but only as a friend.

Leshawna, after getting unstrapped, proceeds to Geoff, stating that he used to be a real nice guy, but now is "all kinds of nasty." Bridgette and Owen concur, while Heather says that she is proud of Geoff's new attitude. Bridgette, Heather, Leshawna, and Owen all force Geoff into the electric chair for a change, in consent with Bridgette's idea. Bridgette then asks him if the "new him" is really him. He lies and says it is "the new him all the way," and gets shocked. They end up asking him what he thinks about Bridgette, to which he answers that he is crazy for her, after getting shocked once again due to saying that he "doesn't need her." Geoff apologizes and Bridgette, pleased about how he feels about her, makes up with him. They sign off the episode and begin to make out. Owen then causes the electric chair to go off, which creates a power outage in the entire studio, prompting him to end the show with an apology.

Quotes
Bridgette: (gives Geoff a stern look) Geoff: I mean, profanity. Bridgette: (punches Geoff) Geoff: Ow-okay! More humanity. Bridgette: (over-enthusiastically) Owen, everyone! (Owen still does not enter) Intern: (backstage; to Owen) You're on. Owen: (backstage, scooping up food with arms) Alright, let's do this! Owen: AAAH! (sketch plays what Owen says throughout his truth telling) In the third grade, I cheated on my math exam. In fourth grade, I stole my uncle Max's toupee and glued it to a goat's butt at the petting zoo. In fifth grade, I knocked my little brother down a flight of stairs and blamed it on my other little brother. When my mom sent me to summer camp for fat kids and they served us lunch, I pigged out, and the rest of the camp had nothing to eat for an entire week. But the worst thing I've ever done... I mixed a pot of fake puke at home and went to school and hid the puke in my jacket. And then I made a noise like this (makes retching noise) and I dumped it all over- Bridgette: Owen! I don't think that's what Trent meant. (shows people in VIP section smiling; almost as if they're about to laugh) Owen: What other kind of truth is there? Geoff: (laughs) I was gonna ask questions, you know, about the show, but that was awesome, dude! Owen: (laughs) You mean, I said all that stuff on TV for no reason? (Owen and Geoff laugh) Oh. Sorry, Uncle Max, and Johnny and Gavin, and, um... Mom. Geoff: Uh... let's find out. We've got a surprise guest on webcam, people! Owen's Mom: Owen! I don't know how to work this thing! Owen: (gasps) It's my mom. What happened? Owen's Mom: The boys and I didn't mean to spend it all. I guess we kind of got carried away. Owen: I just want to know one thing: What did you buy? Owen's Mom: A teensy, tiny... extra large cheese cellar. Owen: I just want to know one more thing: Is it full of cheese? (his mom smiles in response) Aha! Woo, baby! Geoff: You're not mad, dude? Owen: Mad? I've always wanted a fully-stocked cheese cellar! Owen: (laughs) Aw, Geoff, I feel awesome! Geoff: How can you not be mad, dude? It's a cheese cellar. Owen: Exactly. There's nothing to worry about, when you have the creamy goodness of cheese. Geoff: Watch, Dude's gonna make a killing promoting cheese on air. OOH! Why didn't I think of that? Leshawna: Hey, y'all. Owen: Hi guys! I forgot you did all those sick things, Heather. Bridgette: Great to see you, Leshawna. Heather, nice wig. Heather: No. (the chair zaps her) Aaahhh! Geoff: Awesome. You think Lindsay is as dumb as she looks? Heather: Yes. (the chair zaps her again) Aaahhh! Geoff: This is too easy. Do you think Beth could be a threat? Heather: Beth? Absolutely not. (the chair zaps her again) Aaahhh! Heather: Of me? There isn't anything I've done, or said, on camera that is any worse than anything I would say right now. Bridgette: (laughs) We'll see about that. Leshawna: (laughs) Heather: I thought we were friends? Leshawna: Oh, we are girl. That doesn't make you any less funny. Oh, I sure miss Harold. Bridgette: That's what I'd like to know. Geoff: What? We're just having a good time. (to Owen) Back me up, man. Owen: Um, You are kind of mean now, Geoff. Heather: (to Geoff) I am so proud of you. Geoff: No prob. I'm an honest guy, right? Bridgette: Geoff, is this the new you? The Publicist, the Manager, the bullying, or is this what you think people want from you? Geoff: Um, pass. Next. Bridgette: Oh, you know that's not the way this works. You wrote the rules! Geoff: This is all me, all the way! (The chair zaps him, ruining his face, and his hair in the process) AAAAUGH! Oh, man! My new hair stylist, Flo, is gonna kill me!'' (his hair spikes out) ''Heather: Not if the chair gets you first! Who do you think is the hottest girl on the show? (Bridgette glares at her for her comment towards Geoff)
 * Geoff: Bridgette thinks this show needs more insanity.
 * Geoff: (to Bridgette) Can I help it if I take my job seriously? Maybe you should try it.
 * Geoff: Our show rocks! And we have, not one, not two, but three guests tonight!
 * Geoff: Welcome, Owen! (cheers; Owen does not enter)
 * Trent (to Owen) Just tell the truth and you'll be okay!
 * Geoff: So, Owen...
 * Owen: So, what did my mom blow the money on?
 * Geoff: So, how do you feel?
 * Owen: (on Bridgette breaking up with Geoff, after the montage of pain) Man, I thought Harold getting hit in the kiwis was bad. I think Geoff suffered a bigger shock than I did. (laughs)
 * Bridgette: Our next two guests have licked Owen's armpit, sucked jam from his belly button, and eaten a cockroach. Oh wait, that was just Heather. Please welcome, Heather and Leshawna. (they walk onstage)
 * Heather: They can shock me all they want. My parents tried electro-shock therapy on me when I was a kid, to try to make me a nicer person. Worked like a charm.
 * Geoff: So Heather, before you're voted off, Courtney was brought back. Do you think she's a worthy competitor?
 * Bridgette: I'm thinking it's time for a little never-before-seen footage.
 * Heather: That footage was obviously altered. I would never...
 * Leshawna: (to Geoff) Now, what is your problem? You used to be sweeter than honey, but now you're all kinds of nasty.
 * Bridgette: Now it's OUR turn to ask the questions!
 * Owen: Ooh, ooh! I got one. How do you really feel about Bridgette?
 * Owen: (upon seeing Bridgette and Geoff making out) Aw, now that's a real spark. (Owen accidentally makes the electric chair go off, shocking Bridgette and Geoff, and causing a power outage in the studio) Oops. Sorry. Swearsies!

Goofs

 * When Owen confesses his misdeeds, he said he "kicked his younger brother downstairs, and blamed it on his other younger brother." However, in Total Drama, Drama, Drama, Drama Island, Chris said he was the youngest of three brothers. This episode implies Owen is the oldest instead.
 * After the "That's Gonna Leave a Mark" segment, Bridgette's ponytail disappears and again when she and Geoff are accidentally shocked by Owen.
 * Owen's mother has a different nose to when she appeared in the video sent from home to Owen.
 * Several goofs were present during the "That's Gonna Leave a Mark" segment. However, most of these may have been altered by Geoff.
 * Footage outtakes that were shown showed Harold with pupil eyes, but in One Million Bucks, B.C. (the episode that the footage was originally from), he was shown to have dotted eyes.
 * In another outtake, when Harold got hit by the Gaffer's' team logo, the Killer Grips and Screaming Gaffers are on the opposite side of which they were actually on in the episode.
 * In another outtake (and as evidence to the altering of clips), when Duncan fainted in Ocean's Eight - Or Nine, he fell on a giant bear trap. But in the original episode when he fell, a thud on the floor could clearly be heard (indicating the absence of a metal trap because a metal trap would have a snapping sound).
 * In the outtake where Duncan fainted on a bear trap, Courtney's bang was missing, (like it was in the episode), but when the camera cuts to the bear trap, her bang was there.
 * In another instance of That's Gonna Leave a Mark, when Harold, Heather, and Duncan were cheering after crossing the finish line, Duncan is not wearing a bonnet that he was wearing at that moment in the actual episode.
