Chapter Text
(The recap shows the team swap and puzzle challenge)
Last time on Disventure Camp! Two of our supposedly eliminated contestants, Alec and Fiore, were swapped over to the other team in a surprise twist. Much to the pleasure of most of the Teal Team and the horror of most of the Purple Team. Gabby tried to take Fiore under her care and wing, though Ellie and Lill were left suspicious of the child's former behavior. Trying to find proof of malice to no luck.
Meanwhile on the Teal Team, distress rose among our newfound couple of Tom and Will with their numbers disadvantage. And Alec and Gretts feelings for one another growing even stronger.
For the challenge, we had both teams learn the value of teamwork through the challenge to collect water and blindfold puzzle building. With the Purple Team coming out victorious. And in a totally normal elimination ceremony with no-twists this time whatsoever, we say goodbye to our gentle giant, once afraid but finding his bravery in this show as well as love.
With the numbers going down and tensions rising, big things are coming! Who will be leaving next? Find out here on… Disventure Camp!

(Introduction)
The opening sequence begins at the entrance of Camp Tipiskaw, where the camera zooms in on Jensen inside the Bus of Losers. Followed by Trevor and Derek under the camp entrance sign, posing together.
Afterwards, we are shown the campsites of the Purple Team and Teal Team, as Nick is seen trying to start a fire with Lill assisting him. This is followed by Tom sneaking around and observing his surroundings and on the other side Dan searching in some bushes for the immunity totem, little did they know Drew was watching and writing down notes in his notebook.
At the lake, Dan is rowing the canoe for both him and Fiore as they struggle to paddle across. On the shores, Ashley and Gabby sit next to each other as they feed a rabbit. While Ellie sits next to Nick, drawing something to show him as he smiles and nods in approval.
Following that, we see Will atop a cliff looking scared as Ashley comforts him. Afterwards shows the members of the Purple Team and Teal Team walking to the elimination area, where Alec and Grett smirk and lean into each other, before Miriam pushes the two of them away from each other. The sequence closes as the camera zooms out and Trevor has an arm wrapped around Derek. While this happens, Jensen carries a mysterious garbage bag covered in some red spots.

Alec woke up the morning after Will went home to see Grett curled up against him with Drew nuzzled into her chest. He smiled softly at the duo and ran his fingers through Grett’s hair, making sure to be gentle and he kissed her nose softly. He stood up and left the tent to see the intern, Oliver, sitting on a log. He looked confused before Oliver just handed him an envelope and walked off.
Alec walked back into the tent and gently shook Grett awake before he whispered, “Grett, something happened with Fiore.”
The young woman immediately shot up with wide eyes and Drew also shot up with a wide eyed look.
The older man kissed Grett’s nose gently before handing her the letter before Drew crawled over to Tom and started poking him. When the older man didn’t wake up, Drew poked Tom’s ribs hard before the ex spy finally woke up. He looked extremely annoyed before he noticed Alec holding a letter, one of his hands on Grett’s hip. He looked annoyed before Alec tossed the letter at him before he and Grett started packing their bags. Drew quickly joined them packing as Tom read the letter out loud.
“Congratulations, Final 8 for making it to the merge. Make your way to the location marked on the map and set up for the rest of the season.”
Grett kept pouting at Alec before she said, “Alec, if you ever make me think that Fiore is hurt again, I’m going to drop you as an ally.”
The older man held his hands up with a smile and kissed her nose softly, making her turn red. Drew glared at Alec before Grett suddenly picked him up and glanced at Tom.
“Well, Tom? Are you coming?”
He sighed and shoved his stuff in his bag before Grett snatched the letter and handed it back to Alec.
- - -
Confessional: Tom
He looked upset.
“I don’t want to be here. I mean, Will’s gone and Fiore seems like she has all of the purple team wrapped around her finger. I need to try and get them to see her for who she truly is but I doubt that I can get them to see her true self. Let’s just hope they’ll see her true self.”
- - -
When the remaining Teal Team got to the merge campsite, the first thing that Grett saw was Gabby holding Fiore like a baby, nuzzling her with a giggle. Fiore seemed relaxed before she heard Grett’s soft voice. Her head snapped towards Grett and she gasped in excitement. Gabby tilted her head and held Fiore tighter to her chest, making Grett glare. She walked over and stood in front of Gabby, staring down at the younger woman with an almost disgusted look, confusing Gabby.
Gabby slowly asked, “Are… you okay?”
Her eyes widened when the other woman sassed, “And who do you think you are, holding her like that?”
Everyone else looked at the trio with surprised looks when Grett said that. Fiore blinked at her mother figure as Gabby glared now.
She snapped, “Excuse me? What does that mean?”
Before Grett could say anything, Alec walked over and slid his hand into hers before pulling her back. She looked up as he wrapped his arms around her waist and leaned down to whisper into her ear.
“Grett, I believe you’re being a little bit dramatic here. After all, Fiore is just getting affection from someone besides you for a little bit.”
Grett pouted angrily but just let Alec lead her away. He was whispering to her as they left, making Fiore growl. She then looked at Gabby with puppy dog eyes.
“Miss Gabby, can I be put down? I wanna go give Grett a hug since she seemed mad and I’ve missed her.”
Immediately, Gabby’s eyes softened and she nodded before letting go. Drew picked Fiore up immediately and nuzzled her neck. She giggled happily and cooed at her brother figure as they left.

As the others were catching up, Lill had sat down and talked with Ellie and Gabby off to the side.
“I can’t believe it! We actually made it to the merge!” Gabby said excitedly as Ellie laughs in amusement at her excitement and pats her on the back.
“I know. It just felt like yesterday when we all got to this camp.” Ellie responds back smiling as Lill smiles too.
“It’s nice indeed, though we have a long road ahead of us. Regardless of the teams still being no more, I’d love to still work with you two.” The older woman explains as Ellie and Gabby both nod.
“Abosolutely! You two are fun to have around!” Gabby exclaims with a smile as Lill continues speaking.
“And as such, we need to think of at least one additional ally to ensure we are safe in votes.” Lill inputs.
“What about Fiore? She helped us with the last challenge and was on our team.” Gabby suggests before Ellie and Lill share a concerned look.
“Listen Gabby, it was great to have her help us and we appreciate that help. But we need to consider our other options, Fiore may not be the best one.” Ellie says gently as Gabby looks confused.
“Why not?” Gabby says feeling a bit worried here.
“We don’t know that much about her and the way she seems close with some of the other members on the opposite team means we don’t know if she’d be completely on our side. Besides I was sorting through some stuff and she was immediately hostile” Lill explains.
“Well, I think she’s just scared. Maybe the other team isn’t being a good influence on her. I can try to help her out, maybe get her away from Alec and Grett.” Gabby says.
“Gabby…” Lill says trying to find the right words as Tom was passing by and noticed their conversation.
- - -
Confessional: Tom
He looked surprised and gave a hopeful look.
“Wait, if some of them are already having some suspicions about Fiore, this could be my chance to work with them and take her down along with her alliance.”
- - -
“Excuse me.” Tom announced himself as he came over to the women's discussion circle there.
They gave him a surprised look as he tried to clear his throat and raise his hands up.
“Look, I didn’t mean to listen in but I overheard your worries about Fiore and wanted to help.” The spy explains as Ellie gives a curious look.
“Well you were on the same team with her, what was she like?” Lill says carefully, opening the window for conversation, with a bit of hopefulness to be able to convince Gabby.
“Fiore was a sweet kid at first, at least that's what she seemed like. But she has a bit of a cruel side and one that tricks others to her favor. She’s dangerous to be around.” Tom said as Gabby was getting a bit more of an upset look and thinking on some of those words, reminding her of something.
‘That child is too dangerous! Look at what she did to those other kids!’ She remembers hearing one of her former school teachers scold her and her dad.
She had just been trying to defend a cat that was having its tail yanked constantly by some school bullies, which ended up with a few scars and scuffs on her end, but the other bully, with some bite marks, bruises, and a broken nose, was a bit horrified at what she did. She tried to apologize to the teacher and dad and explain what happened, but they were too disturbed to be having any of it.
“Maybe she’s just misunderstood. She said Alec and some others were pressuring her into voting Ashley .... Gabby says in denial, rubbing her arm nervously.
“That’s exactly what she wants you to think. She wants you to think she’s all sweet and innocent but will strike you when you least expect it!” Tom said with his voice raising and his anxiousness growing.
Gabby goes from rubbing her arm to clenching it, to Ellie’s notice.
“Tom, that’s enough…” Ellie says sternly, noticing Gabby’s anxiety increasing.
“Look! We all gotta be on board here and face the reality. Alec and Grett have been deceiving both of our sides and took out so many of our friends already. And we need to get rid of them and their alliance!” Tom says his patience wears thin.
“Tom. Let’s just slow down and relax.” Lill says her worry growing and noticing Gabby getting more tense.
“They’re pulling their tricks pulling people like Drew and Fiore along and influencing them to mess with us too like some little monsters!” Tom continues on and exclaims.
Gabby’s anxiety and projection grew by the minute hearing more and more cruel words ringing through that she heard before told by many people.
‘You need to be taken away and locked up!’
‘So weird!’
‘Doesn’t belong here.’
‘She’s a monster!’
Before the damn of emotions burst.
“THAT’S ENOUGH!” Gabby yells out getting in Tom’s face.
All three of the others looked in shock at her outburst.
“YOU DON’T KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT HER OR WHAT SHE’S BEEN THROUGH. SHE’S JUST SOME SCARED LITTLE GIRL AND NEEDS PEOPLE TO HELP HER OUT! SO YOU ALL JUST BE NICE TO HER OR JUST LEAVE HER ALONE!” Gabby screams out in projection, with tears welling up in her eyes as she runs off.
“Gabby wait…” Lill says as the Polish girl runs off not listening to any of them.
“Shit! What the hell’s your problem!? We told you to back off.” Ellie yells at Tom.
- - -
Confessional: Lill
“Please cover the children's ears, but… shit. Just as we found an ally we may have just lost another one.”
Lill says as she rubs her face in her hands
“I don't blame Tom for his worries, I can’t imagine what he and his friends had to deal with, but that fear may have ruined our progress.”
- - -
Alec had his hand on Grett’s knee when Fiore and Drew joined them, earning a gasp from Fiore before she and Drew glared at Alec. He immediately lifted his hand from Grett’s knee as Fiore growled. Drew glared at Alec and nuzzled into Grett as Fiore cuddled into Grett’s chest. The young woman cooed softly at them, making Alec smile softly before Grett started talking.
“Well, who are we thinking what we should target next?”
Giggling, Fiore said, “Well, since you already eliminated Will, Tom doesn’t matter right now. But…”
The trio now looked at her as she sighed and finished her sentence.
“I think Lill is getting suspicious of me. She was looking through my bag after the challenge and she thinks she knows what I’m really like. But I think it would be funnier to make her watch her friends be eliminated one by one. After all, she’s really the only one besides Tom who knows what I’m truly like.”
Grett smiled softly before she said, “Well, then which friend do you suggest first?”
When Fiore said the name, Alec looked surprised and immediately grabbed Grett’s hand with a nervous look. She tilted her head and squeezed his hand gently before kissing his cheek softly. He smiled slightly and wrapped his arm around her waist to hold her close. She laid her head on his shoulder and Fiore had given up on fighting it while Drew sighed with a pout. Grett kissed their foreheads softly to make them beam. Fiore yawned softly and rubbed her head against Grett’s chest before she took a nap.
Drew smiled and wrote, “Alec, if you hurt mama, I'm eliminating you. I don’t trust you one bit.”
Alec sighed softly and ran his fingers through Grett’s hair softly, making her blush hard and turn red. She looked shy and smiled softly at him as he smiled back. Drew’s eyes narrowed suspiciously before he relaxed against Grett’s side. He also fell asleep on her, making her smile more.
- - -
Confessional: Grett
“I don’t understand what made Alec react to who Fiore wants to target, but it doesn’t matter. We’ll be the final four then… then I can drop Alec and get my kids to the final two.”
- - -
Lill looks on in concern as Ellie and Tom were yelling at each other.
“We told you to back off and you still upset her! What the hell!? Did your brain get fried in the heat while wearing that ninja costume!?” Ellie yelled with a glare before Tom returned.
“I said I was sorry! I didn’t realize that was gonna set her off!” Tom argues back.
“Well it still did! You both upset her and may have caused her to lose any good faith with us” Ellie says back.
Lill took a deep breath before stepping in.
“Enough! Both of you! And take a seat!” Lill shouted.
This caused the two younger adults to shut up instantly as they sat down.
“We need to focus on a plan if we want to take out the other alliance members and not go at each other's throats here.” Lill says with a stern tone.
“Right, we need to take out Alec. He’s a physical and intelligent threat” Ellie suggests.
“No, we need to take out Fiore, she may not be a physical threat, but she knows how to get people on her side and play with people's minds.” Tom argues back.
Lill sighs and speaks up again before they could start another argument.
“Ellie, go find Gabby and try to talk to help her out. I will talk with Tom here.” Lill says as Ellie sighs frustratedly and nods, heading off.
- - -
As Ellie was looking for Gabby, Lill was talking with Tom struggling to come to an agreement, Gabby was cuddling with some forest critters who were comforting her, and the Villain family talked a little more, they heard the speakers go off.
“Will our lovely contestants please arrive at the amphitheater for our next challenge!?” Trevor announces.
- - -
All the campers arrive at the amphitheater, each of them behind a podium with some cages over their heads.
“Welcome campers, aka final eight, to your first merge challenge!” Derek announces.
“For this challenge you all have to answer questions about your fellow contestants here. Once the questions are answered we’ll be asking you these questions and what you think the majority voted for. If you answer correctly, you can choose one camper to lose a life. Each camper has three lives and if all of them are lost, you are out of the challenge. The last person standing wins immunity.” Trevor follows up.
“Any questions?” Derek says to no response.
The contestants started answering the questions given to them. Fiore struggled due to her height before Jensen brought a chair and picked her up before putting her on the chair and walking away. The girl looked confused before she continued to answer the questions. She paused before she leaned over to Grett and Alec.
“Mama, mama’s… boyfriend… we should let Drew have immunity. After all, Tom may blame him for Will’s elimination and Jake’s elimination. So, he needs to have immunity.”
Grett nodded and glanced at Alec before he nodded too. Fiore beamed before she answered the last question she had to. Derek was grinning as he stood in front of the contestants with a grin before he started to ask the questions.
“Who is the least likely person to survive alone in the woods?”
When the answer from everyone was Fiore, the little girl looked embarrassed before she giggled.
‘W-Well… I guess that’s no surprise hehehe. I’m not the strongest.”
Grett rubbed her cheek before Derek looked at them with a grin.
“From Gabby down, choose the person you’d like to lose a life.”
Gabby grinned before she looked at Tom before she said, “I choose Tom.”
The ninja glared before Ellie said, “I want Grett to lose a life.”
The British woman rolled his eyes as Lill, looking worried, said, “I choose Alec.”
He sighed in annoyance as Tom snapped, “I want Gabby to lose a life.”
Lill immediately looked concerned as Gabby stuck her tongue out and Drew, after glancing at Fiore, wrote, “I want Gabby to lose a life.”
The woman looked at him shocked before Fiore innocently said, “I choose mama!”
When the cage lowered, she faked shock and looked at Grett before saying, “I’m sorry, mama. I misunderstood.”
She giggled when Grett ruffled her hair gently and said, “I want Gabby to lose her final life.”
The Polish woman looked confused as the cage lowered more and Alec said, “I choose for Lill to lose a life.”
The older woman gave her a look before Derek asked the next question.
“Who would spend all of the money immediately?”
Grett looked offended when she was the majority answer, having chosen Ellie. Alec, having also chosen Ellie, just shrugged and held Grett’s hand.
Ellie smiled proudly before she glanced at Tom and said, “I choose Tom.”
He rolled his eyes before Lill, determined, said, “I choose Alec.”
Tom glanced at Ellie before he grinned at her and said, “I choose Ellie.”
The American gritted her teeth with a glare as Fiore said, with a happy giggle, “I choose Lill!”
The older woman stared silently before Trevor now asked, “Who has the worst fashion taste?”
Alec rolled his eyes as the answer was almost unanimously him. Grett giggled and winked playfully at him. He smiled as Gabby glanced at Tom and Ellie sighed.
“I want Alec to lose his last life.”
His eyes narrowed as Lill, relieved, said, “I would like for Drew to lose a life.”
The villain family looked confused but Tom said, “I want Ellie to lose a life.”
Drew smiled and tilted his head before he wrote, “I want to take Ellie’s last life :3.”
Ellie looked shocked when the cage dropped around her, Tom looking smug before Fiore said, “I’m taking Tom’s last life!”
Grett smirked and twirled her hair around her finger before she said, “I’ll take Lill’s last life then.”
Lill looked surprised as the Villain Family stood victorious, grinning widely. Fiore stuck her tongue out playfully as Drew gave them a wide grin. Alec and Grett shared a smug look as Tom cursed and slammed his hands on the podium.
- - -
Confessional: Ellie
She stomped her feet angrily and pulled on her hair as she started screaming in frustration.
“Damn it! What the fuck was that?! Why did we do that?! We fell into that fucking trap!”
- - -
“That leaves Grett and Fiore with one life! And Drew with two, next question: Who can never shut up?” Trevor reads out, all three standing contestants give each other a knowing grin, as if they already knew the answer as they give it.
The answer revealed to be Gabby as she pouts and looks off to the side, in offense.
“Hey, nothing wrong with liking to talk alot. Better than being a quiet and sneaky prick.” Ellie says trying to comfort Gabby, wanting to reach over to pat her shoulder but held back by the cage.
Gabby gives a soft smile in appreciation.
“Alright you three, whose life do you wanna take next?” Trevor asks before the remaining villain's family thinks for a moment.
“I choose Drew.” Fiore says teasingly as Drew smirks back.
“I choose Fiore.” Drew writes down as both lost a life.
“I choose myself.” Grett says sacrificing her own life as Drew looks a bit surprised but smiles at her. As the cage drops down on Grett.
“And with that, Drew has won today's challenge granting him immunity! Campers! We’ll see you later tonight.” Derek announces as the Villain Family smirks at one another while Lill and her alliance look nervous.
- - -
Confessional: Lill
“Well there goes any safety for any of us. On the bright side, at least Drew isn’t a physical threat. The others and I just need to come to a mutual agreement on who we’re targeting. I just hope Tom & Ellie can come to an agreement, and we can try to get Gabby to be willing to work alongside Tom, and make sure we’re prepared for a tiebreaker.”
Lill sighs and puts her hand over her forehead.
“You’ve got your hands full Davis. It feels like the early days all over again with my troops.”
- - -
Lill and her alliance begin to make their way back to camp, Ellie and Gabby still glaring at Tom. Lill tries to speak up before Gabby heads away from the group and Tom heads the other direction. Lill looks in worry to Ellie.
“Ellie, please just talk to Gabby, we cannot have a repeat of the other day. I’ll talk with Tom and try to get him to help us.” Lill says as Ellie sighs and nods, heading off to where Gabby was.
- - -
Confessional: Ellie
“Tom may be an ass, but we need to get our game together and take out Alec and the others as soon as possible.”
Ellie rubs her arm and sighs.
“I just hope Gabby’s okay. The way she reacted to Tom's words earlier seemed to have been worse than I ever saw her.”
- - -
Fiore giggled and shared a look with Drew before she went up to Ellie and innocently said, “Wow. I hope that you can get Tom to work with you! After all, he doesn’t seem to think Gabby is more than a crazy lady!”
Ellie froze now and looked down at the little girl before she asked, “Repeat that?
The small girl’s eyes widened before she said, “Uh oh. I wasn’t supposed to say anything. Ignore me.”
Before Ellie could push further, Fiore ran off, a smirk on her face that Ellie couldn’t see. Drew giggled at her when she rejoined and he picked her up, holding her tight against him.
They realized that Ellie was walking up to them and Fiore tensed slightly, tightening her grip on Drew’s sweater. The older woman bent her knees slightly so she could look Fiore in the eyes.
“Fiore, tell me what you meant by what you said. What do you mean Tom doesn’t think that Gabs is more than a crazy lady?”
The little girl just stared wide eyed for a minute before she spoke, looking completely innocent.
“Well, I overheard him talking to Mama earlier and he was trying to get her to vote for Gabby since he… he thought she’s just a crazy lady. He said that she’s unstable and shouldn’t still be here. As if Mama would care about that. She’s smart enough to know that Tom’s the bigger threat here. I mean, look at him! He’s a powerhouse! Plus he has beef with me, a literal child.”
Ellie paused before she asked, “So… You and your… allies… are going to be voting for Tom tonight?”
Fiore nodded and Drew quickly followed suit, looking happy. Ellie looked thoughtful before she sighed and started tugging on her long gloves, her heterochromia more noticeable now as her hair swept over her face, covering her eyes slightly and showing that her left eye was noticeably bluer than her right eye. Fiore stared with interest now and Drew tilted his head, the duo looking more like siblings than ever before. Ellie looked surprised now but Fiore tugged on Drew’s arm.
“Can we go find Mama and Alec?”
Drew nodded and waved at Ellie before he walked off with Fiore still clinging onto him. Ellie sighed before looking mad.
- - -
Confessional: Fiore
She looked smug.
“Well, that went perfectly! It causes tension between Ellie and Tom, which will lead to them being disjoined and unable to vote as a group! That means the villains hold the power for this vote!!’
- - -
Alec and Grett were sitting in the clearing as they waited for Drew and Fiore, Alec’s arm gently wrapped around the British woman’s waist. She smiled at him softly, her soft eyes glinting in the sun. Alec paused as he stared into her eyes before he gently cupped her face to pull her closer. She looked surprised but smiled softly and leaned in closer to him. They kept leaning closer until they kissed, Grett wrapping her arms around Alec’s neck as his hands slid down to her waist. They stayed kissing like that until they heard a stick snap. They pulled apart and stared at Fiore and Drew, both of which had wrinkled noses. Fiore ran up to Grett the second Drew put her down and she bit Alec’s arm, surprisingly gentle. Grett gently lifted Fiore up and away from Alec.
“Fiore! Don’t bite him. He’s our ally.”
Fiore looked at Grett with a shocked look and looked sad before Drew took her gently and nuzzled her. She smiled and cuddled into him with a soft hum.
Alec then asked, “Well, who will we be voting for tonight?”
Grett looked down at her kids and Fiore grinned widely, Drew immediately understanding. He wrote down the name and showed it to Alec, making his eyes widen.
- - -
Confessional: Alec
He sighed.
“I knew she’d have to go sometime but I’m surprised they would suggest eliminating her now.”
- - -
Gabby is sitting at the beach and looking down as Ellie approaches her and sits next to her.
“Hey Gabs. Are you okay…” Ellie says with an awkward smile as Gabby gives an awkward smile back, though it falls after a few moments, to which the ginger girl sighs.
“Tom was just so cruel back there. I know something's going on with Fiore, that something's off about her. I’m not stupid. But… it’s not right to just throw her away without even trying to help her out. Maybe she just needs some proper guidance…” Gabby says frowning and picking up a seashell to toss, skipping eight times.
“Of course you’re not stupid. You wanna see the better in things. It’s… good to have an outlook like that.” Ellie says with comfort, as she takes a seashell and tosses it too, skipping a few more times than Gabby’s.
“Thanks Ellie. Still, I think Alec and Grett may be bad influences on her, I just want a chance to try to reach out to her. Even if she is bad, at least she won't be a physical threat in the long run.” Gabby says with thought.
“That is true actually… still it comes between Alec and Grett to vote off.” Ellie says.
“Lets vote Alec then, Grett seems more tough to face off in a tiebreaker. I'm pretty sure the only reason she lost the duel against him was because he was giving her those googly eyes.” Gabby says with a fake barf to which Ellie laughs.
“Sounds good to me. Plus, we’ll get revenge… for Ashley.” Ellie says with a smirk.
“And for Nick.” Gabby says, returning the smile as the two hug and sit there for a bit longer on the beach with the sun close to setting.
- - -
Confessional: Gabby
“Ellie is a really great friend to have, I felt so alone when I first got here, but having people like her, Lill, Ashley, and even Nick has helped this experience to be worth it.”
- - -
Confessional: Ellie
“I’m glad I was able to help Gabby out. She has made this experience less lonely these past few days. Once Lill convinces Tom to vote with us, we just gotta prepare ourselves for what comes next. I’ve come too far to give up now.”
- - -
Alec walked into the tent and found Lill sitting on her sleeping bag, looking stressed out and worried. He decided to take the opportunity to rile her up and potentially throw her vote and moved to stand over her. She looked up and she immediately seemed to be annoyed that Alec was in front of her.
She took a deep breath before she asked, “Shouldn’t you be with your girlfriend and her children? After all, you have to decide who you’ll be voting for tonight.”
Alec smiled slightly at her and leaned close.
“Don’t worry about tonight’s vote, Lillian. It’s already been decided. I hope you have your vote decided. It would be a shame if you lost another ally tonight.”
The girl scout gritted her teeth and tensed up slightly, looking almost upset. She sighed softly and took another deep breath before she responded.
“Well, Alec, I will inform you I have my vote decided.”
She seemed surprised when Alec smirked and leaned close.
“I hope you’re ready to have another ally be eliminated.”
Lill finally snapped, “You should watch your back, Alec. I doubt those allies of yours will keep you longer than you’re useful to them.”
Alec rolled his eyes at her slightly before he left.
- - -
Confessional: Alec
“I doubt that my allies will betray me until we get to the final four. Then I just need to win the last challenge and then beat the kids.”
- - -
Tom was sitting near the lake when he heard soft footsteps approaching him. He looked up and saw Fiore’s wide eyes sparkling above him, making his eyes narrow. He went to shove her away but she stepped aside from him and started talking.
“Drew told me what’s under your mask, Tom. I’m surprised Will would kiss you when your face is so rough. After all, isn’t your little boyfriend a coward?”
Tom froze before glaring at Fiore, obviously extremely upset. He stood up and leaned over Fiore, making her eyes widen in shock as she remembered how tall he was.
He snapped, “Don’t you dare talk about Will ever again. You got it?”
The little girl slowly nodded with a nervous look before she grinned slightly.
“Well, not like you’ll be separated from him for long!”
She then darted away before Tom could react. The ex spy grumbled before he pulled his hood over his face.
- - -
Confessional: Tom
“That brat is going home tonight. I just have to get the other 3 on board with her.”
- - -
The campers make their way to the elimination ceremony in their two groups, as Lill looks over to Tom.
“Y’know the plan right?” Lill says to them all as Tom gives an unsure look.
“Look, I thought of what you said, but we REALLY need to target Fiore now. Especially if we land in a tie.”Tom says as the women glare at him.
“What!?No! We’re targeting Alec. Thats the only one the rest of us could agree to!” Lill whispers in shock as Tom glares back, judgement clouded from the cruel words Fiore said to him earlier.
“No! If you want me to vote with you guys, it’s going to be for the kid.” Tom says as Lill is about to speak up, before they get interrupted by the hosts.
“Welcome campers to our first merge elimination! And congrats for making it this far!” Derek says.
“As always, you know how these eliminations go! Now get to voting!” Trevor says as Lill looks over to Tom with a pleading look, the latter looking conflicted but one by one they head over.
- - -
Confessional: Lill
“Tom please, we can’t afford to lose this now. We gotta stop Alec while we can.”
Lill has a distressed look while holding up the vote for Alec

Confessional: Drew
Has a smirk as he writes down a vote.
- - -
Confessional: Grett
Writes down a vote
“A bloody thorn in our side you’ll be.”
- - -
- - -
Confessional: Tom
Frowns and bites his lip before writing down the vote
- - -
Confessional: Alec
Has a slightly remorseful expression, before he hardens his face and writes down a name
- - -
Confessional: Gabby
She glares down as she writes down Alecs name.
“This ends tonight.”
- - -
Confessional: Ellie
“Now or never. Please let this work…”
She clenches her pen as she writes down Alec's name
- - -
The campers all sat down as the hosts collect the votes and Trevor holds them up.
“Before we get to reading, does anyone have an immunity totem they’d like to play?”
To which they were met with silence.
“First vote goes to… Alec!”
Alec and Grett glare over at Lill’s alliance as Lill glares back. Tom raises an eyebrow.
“Alec!”
“Alec!”
“Fourth vote goes to… Fiore!”
Lill, Gabby, and Ellie look in shock at Tom as he looks away in shame at the realization.
“Next vote is… Gabby!”
Gabby’s heart sank as she realized her fate was sealed.
“Gabby! Gabby! and … Gabby! That's enough votes, sorry but…you’re outta here!” Trevor says as Gabby looks down and the villains smirk, bar Alec as he looks over at her sadly. To which Ellie gives a glare towards the British man.
“Gabby! I’m so sorry I thought we would all…” Tom starts to which Gabby raises a hand and he stops, looking down in shame.
“Gabby… it’s nothing personal… but I hope you understand it's just for the game.” Alec says to which Gabby looks away.
“I don’t need to hear it. I’ve got better friends than you’d ever be! Only a matter of time before you betray them! Or they betray you! And Fiore… you can make a much better friend than these rotten adults.” The polish girl says with confidence to which Fiore rolled her eyes and Alec looked away awkwardly.
“Yeah, yeah! Why don’t you run back to the woods Miss crazy!?” Fiore says to which Gabby's face hardens and walks off to the bus stop with Lill and Ashley.
“Thank you two. It may have been a bit rough here, but you guys made this experience better than it coulda been. Oh! And I get to be with Ashley too!” Gabby says with her face lighting up with hope to which Lill and Ellie smile and give her a hug.
“Gabby, you’re a sweet soul and we could use more people like you in the world. Don’t let anyone tell you differently.” Lill says with a sweet smile, swelling up Gabby’s heart.
“Yeah, she’s right. Alec doesn’t know what he lost, losing a great friend like you. And I’fd love to talk with you after the game. Heck, maybe we can have a double date after the show.” Ellie says to which Gabby smiles brighter.
“I’d love that, I’ll also tell Nick you said hi!” Gabby responds back to which Ellie smiles in appreciation. The two leave Gabby at the bus stop with one last wave and Gabby with her head held a bit higher then when she started this show and a brighter future waiting for her.
