Plot
The episode begins in the first-class section with Gwen and Courtney sitting together. Heather suddenly begins to climb in through an air vent above them, explaining that she is sneaking into the economy class to spy on Team Chris Is Really Really Really Really Hot and what's left of Team Victory. She elaborates that Team Amazon needs to make an alliance with DJ before the opposition does. However, because her team believes she has feelings for Alejandro, they think she is really going down there to spy on him, much to her vehement protest.

The scene changes to the economy class section where DJ is seen sitting across from Team Chris Is Really Really Really Really Hot. Owen is nervous about having to make an alliance with him, explaining how he was "the allianc-ee, not the alliance-er". Noah gives Owen some advice on how to ask him, saying that it is like asking someone out. However, this backfires due to Owen taking the advice too literally and attempting to set DJ up with Noah. Alejandro chides them, explaining that they cannot just barge into an alliance. Unfortunately, an angry Tyler chooses this moment to yell at DJ for being the cause of Lindsay's elimination. DJ gets equally angry, replying that it isn't his fault. He apologizes and says that he's going to deliberately lose the next challenge in order to leave the game and stop his curse. At the mention of this, Heather then falls out from a compartment above Team Chris Is Really Really Really Really Hot. Both Alejandro and Noah are amused by this and Alejandro inquires whether she was spying on them, to which Heather vehemently denies. Before going back to first class, Heather issues a ticket to Owen for having dirty socks.

The plane then lands in the middle of the ocean and the contestants are shoved out of the Total Drama Jumbo Jet, DJ immediately begins to panic due to his fear of water, but is rescued by Heather, who is still attempting to form an alliance with him. Alejandro points out a flaw in Heather's plan, irritating her further. Chris then shows up on a boat, wearing a raincoat and talking in a Newfoundland accent, explaining that Newfoundland was where he was born and that the first challenge of the day was to reach a set of boats and row them all the way to the shore.

When the challenge begins. Courtney attempts to take over leadership of Team Amazon, only to be chided by Heather. While Courtney and Heather constantly argue, Alejandro makes it to his boat, quickly complimenting his team's swimming skills and then assisting Noah, the second to arrive, onto the boat. The rest of Team Chris Is Really Really Really Really Hot make it to the boat and then drag a struggling Owen to them using a fishing net, which is met with happiness by Izzy. When the race begins, Heather switches over to DJ's boat in order to help him stay in the game, the musical chime goes off and the contestants begin singing, "Sea Shanty Mix". DJ realizes that if he does not sing, he will be automatically eliminated. DJ refuses to sing, but is tricked into doing so by Heather. Due to a series of unexpected events, DJ and Heather arrive at the Island first followed shortly by Team Chris Is Really Really Really Really Hot. Team Amazon however, is nowhere in sight, leaving Heather to face the team punishment of cleaning the seafood Team Chris Is Really Really Really Really Hot brought in and shucking several giant clams for Chris.

Meanwhile, Courtney and Gwen climb up a rocky mountain, trying to reach what appears to be Duncan at the top. Cody and Sierra are left waiting at the boat, Sierra attempts to flirt with him, only for Cody to back away and then fall off the boat.

With Team Amazon still missing, the next challenge involves Team Chris Is Really Really Really Really Hot competing against DJ, or what remains of Team Victory. The challenge is a relay, for the first part, Izzy and Owen have to chug jugs of apple vinegar, then tag Alejandro and Noah, who have to decipher a sentence given by Chris' cousin, Jerd McLean, who speaks in a very thick accent and for the final round Tyler has to kiss a cod "like he means it." Due to DJ being the sole survivor of Team Victory he is required to do all the challenges himself. Owen easily chugs the vinegar, even asking for chips to go with it, DJ still refuses to do the challenge, but is once again tricked into completing it by Heather, he unintentionally deciphers Jerd's sentence as well, putting him in the finals. Alejandro then manages to understand Jerd's next sentence, putting both teams in the finals.

Back at the mountain, Gwen and Courtney finally reach the summit, only to discover that they had mistaken an odd-shaped rock for Duncan. Disappointed and confused, both girls return to the boat, where Sierra explains that missing someone can cause hallucinations. Courtney confesses that she really does miss Duncan badly, but doesn't understand why Gwen would see him. Gwen nervously agrees.

For the final challenge, both Tyler and DJ must kiss a fish. DJ refuses, not wanting to risk hurting another animal, only for Heather to point out that this fish has an Egyptian symbol on it, and that kissing the fish could cancel out his curse. DJ doesn't believe her, but when Alejandro agrees, he accepts the idea and kisses his fish. In order to get Tyler to kiss the fish, Alejandro advises him to pretend its Lindsay. This works and both contestants begin to make-out with their fish, ending the challenge in a tie.

Team Amazon finally arrives and Gwen takes the blame for their loss, prompting Heather to yell at her and proclaiming that she is going to vote Gwen off. Chris then announces that in celebration of them being in his homeland, the episode will be a reward challenge instead of an elimination. Team Victory and Team Chris Is Really Really Really Really Hot are both entitled to a delicious fish and clam chowder dinner. Both teams are enjoying their meals when Alejandro finds one of Owen's socks in his soup, courtesy of an annoyed Heather. Afterwards, he walks alone to the shore and show the audience a bucket of fish, each with an identical symbol drawn upon them. He explains that this was all part of his plan, releases the fish into the water, and then walks back to the house in silence. Chris then comes from nowhere, calling Alejandro, "A reality producer's dream, and everyone else's nightmare" before signing off the show.

Exclusive Clip
In an exclusive clip depicting events after the episode ends, Owen is seen back in the boathouse, digging through a large barrel full of water. He finds several various items inside. First is a pair of underwear, which he suddenly eats. Then, he finds a chicken hat, which he places on his head. Next is a music player, which, when turned on, plays Sea Shanty Mix. Then he pulls out Ezekiel, who is still in hiding. The two repeatedly scream in shock at each other back and forth for a while before Owen grabs the lid of the barrel and slams it onto Ezekiel's head.

Cast

 * Ezekiel made another cameo appearance behind Chef when he threw Heather from the plane, but he did not speak. However, he screamed several times in the exclusive clip.
 * Lindsay briefly appeared in Tyler's hallucination when he was kissing the cod, but she had no lines.

Quotes
Courtney: Beats me. Gwen: Unless she's turned into Izzy and is looking for elves, it probably has something to do with Alejandro. Courtney: If I didn't know any better, I would think that Heather liked him! Gwen: Eww! That's like the Grinch having a crush on someone. Courtney: I know, yuck! Think of her dried up, black little heart thawing out, lighting up with love- Heather: Ow! I am not in love! (pops her head out of the air shaft) I am thinking about our team! I'm trying to sneak back into Loser Class to eavesdrop! With DJ back there with him, Alejandro has free reign to make an alliance! Gwen: Sorry! We can stop trying. Heather: Ew! Gross! (pops out of the air shaft holding a toothbrush) What is this doing in here?! Sierra: (gasps) I've been looking for Cody's new toothbrush (takes the toothbrush from Heather) everywhere! Cody: Aw, come on, Heather! That was my ninth and final one! (Sierra brushes her teeth with his toothbrush, and he groans in frustration) Noah: It's like asking a girl out, only she's a guy. Owen: Oh, okay! (to DJ) Hey, DJ! Hey, you wanna go for hot dogs with my buddy Noah? He says your legs are nice. (wolf whistles) Noah: (sarcastically) Yeah, because that's exactly what I told him to say. Alejandro: One cannot blunder into an alliance, friends. Heather: (pops out of the ventilation shaft) DJ! (DJ screams when he sees Heather) Make an alliance with my team, and we'll help you win! DJ: Whoa! Wh-what are you... (in an upset tone) Hey! It's a good thing I wasn't doing my business in here! Heather: I did have to wait a while for you to show up. FYI, Izzy likes to sing "Pop Goes the Weasel" when she... (cringes) Ugh! Heather: Okay, any objections? Gwen: Courtney's bossing us around and you don't have one?! Heather: Only to losing! Heather: More like a B-I-T-C- Gwen: Guys, let's get going! Courtney: Ha! Always! Cody: Please, can we stop this story now? Sierra: I ended up picking thorns out of my tushy for like, a week. Because I jumped out the window. To get on the horse. And I landed on a rosebush. Noah: Okay, I think he said something about Owen's butt. Jerd: Kid's as smart as a bag of rocks b'y. Chris: Oh. (chuckles) I know. Chris: Wow, this guy is a reality producer's dream and everybody else's nightmare! (chuckles) What will he think of next!? Find out here on Total! Drama! World Tour!
 * Gwen: (referring to Heather, who has entered the plane's ventilation system) What is she doing?
 * Heather: Ugh! Why did we have to win in dumb Paris?!
 * Owen: I don't know what to say to him... I've always been the allianc-ee, not the alliance-er.
 * DJ: (in confessional) As the only one left on Team Victory, uh, I'm having a hard time seeing how I can possibly win this thing. Plus, I have a bit of a cold. (coughs lightly) And let's face it; I never had a killer instinct. Unless it's an animal it turns out.
 * Sierra: Why are we landing in the middle of the ocean? (plane rises) Oh, no we're not. (plane lowers) Why are we landing in the middle of the-? (plane rises) Oh, no we're not.
 * Heather: (in confessional) Oh, he is good! (sighs lovingly; static) I want the tape! Give me the tape!! How do you open this thing?!
 * Courtney: If we swim in a V-formation, like geese, we'll be faster!
 * Gwen: (in confessional) You know, Heather really shouldn't let her obvious crush on Alejandro get her away from the game. Having a relationship with Duncan really screwed things up for me last season - Trent! I meant Trent! Just a slip of the tongue... (static) I want that tape back! Give me the tape!! How do you open this thing?!
 * Courtney: I am a C.I.T.!

 * Owen: (in confessional) I think Noah's auntie is right to block this show, it's way out of control!
 * Alejandro: (notices Owen's sock in his chowder) What the-?
 * Owen: My socks! That's where those went.
 * Alejandro: (in confessional, brushing his teeth crazily) Malvada bruja! Malditos incompetentes!
 * Alejandro: Heather thinks she's clever, but you see, it's all a matter of waiting for your opportunity. Ah, the magic fish. It took me a couple tries. Fish aren't the easiest medium for making art.
 * Courtney: (in confessional) Okay, fine, so, I did let a guy get in the way of how I played the game. I really can't stop thinking about how Duncan could just... abandon me like this, and I... I messed up. Did I just say that on air? (static) I want that tape back! Give me the tape! Oof! How do you open this thing?!
