Plot
The episode starts with Beth and Duncan alone in their trailers. They both seem lonely. The two are soon kidnapped and awaken tied to the mast of a boat, decide to help one another get out of the bind. Chef arrives, and brings the finalists a good breakfast, much to their surprise.

While they are eating, Chris comes in and annouces the challenge. He tells them that they will have to do pirate challenges, then be shot through a cannon back to the first set of the season. They then are told they have to clean the restrooms that were used by Sasquatchanakwa and the Bear. Duncan completes the challenge first, but then must re-clean, while Beth goes ahead. Duncan still completes the second and third parts of the challenge first, which are to tie a flag to the top of a mast, and fire oneself from a cannon. Then, he ends up on the Monster Cash set.

Chef, who is angry with Chris and planning to leave the show, has taken Chris' role as host. Now, Chef follows Duncan through the challenges, asking him questions. If he answers the questions correctly, he will skip the challenge portion. Though, he doesn't know the answers to any of the questions, so he ends up going through the physical portion.

Beth eventually makes it to the Monster Cash set also, after speaking with an emotionally hurt Chris, who is upset about Chef leaving. Beth is asked questions by Chef, and does the opposite of Duncan. She gets all of the questions right, and skips over the challenges.

They are both flipping through the challenges quickly, causing Chef to run back and forth repeatidly. Chef is exhausted by this, to the point that Chris shows up and offers to follow Beth, while Chef follows Duncan. This happens, and it allows Beth ot catch up quickly, as she is flipping through trivia. Eventually the final two both end up at the set of Top Dog, and are asked trivia. But, this time, they both know the answer. So, Chris asks a follow-up question. But, they both get their questions wrong. Chris then sends them to the set of Masters of Disasters.

At this point, Duncan and Beth suddenly start to work together, what Beth wanted from the beginning. During this portion, they both decided that they will tie.

The camera shows the aftermath studio, with all the other watching excitedly. Geoff and Bridgette attempt to annouce the winner, but both Beth and Duncan cross the finish line simeltaniously. This causes the entire room to be shocked by the tie for the win.

The episode ends with "To Be Continued."

Quotes
Duncan: (hears Beth's teeth) Ugh! It's Beth chattering again! With a face like that, I'd be scared too, right guys? (no answer) Right...nobody left to laugh at my excellent zingers. The good news is there's also no one left to reek up the trailer with jungle breath, nobody to wake me up with screaming nightmares- "mumie! mumie!" - and no one to take away my guaranteed million away. (hears Beth) Put a blindfold on, loser! Chris: Going out, what do you mean? Chef: That's the last meal I'm ever gonna serve on this stupid show. Got me a gig servin' on a swanky cruise ship. So you can kiss my behind goodbye. Chris: Yeah, right. And I got a gig hosting the Oscars. Very Funny. Chef: Who's laughing? Duncan: Well then, get ready Beth, 'cause the gloves are comin' off. Chef: I fly solo. I'm a maverick. Duncan: Can we get on with this so I can collect my million? Chef: Work with me here, kid. Chris: Ah, privacy. Time to catch some sweet artificial rays. (opens up the Tan-O-Matic 3000, to find Bridgette and Geoff making out) My TAN-O-MATIC 3000! It's been tainted! Bridgette: Uh, it sure... smells nice in here. Geoff: L-l-l-like coconuts. (flashback ends) Beth:That's okay, I have a boyfriend. Bridgette: It's a... tie? Geoff: So, um, what exactly are we gonna do about the million dollars? (The others are shocked, appalled, or upset about the results)

 * Duncan: (confessional) When I was a kid, Ma insisted on sending me to Muskrat Boys. We had to wear dainty vests and sell apples, but all the knot tying lessons meant I'm pretty much a Houdini at tying and untying stuff. Came in handy a bunch a' ways I don't think Ma had in mind.

Goofs

 * Chef has already hosted the show before, but it was not mentioned by him or anyone.
 * When Duncan and Beth were tied up, Duncan's shirt was grey instead of black.
 * Beth apparently broke up with Brady two episodes ago, but she mentions him on two occasions as if it never happened.
 * When Duncan and Beth go through the door, they come out on the right side of the Aftermath studio. However in past episodes guests come out of the waiting room and enter on the right side. It is possible that the waiting room can disconnect from the aftermath studio, and it even seems to have appeared separately from the studio in Rock 'n' Rule.
