The day started with, yet again, Meredith Rathmore getting into petty fights, this time even getting personal with host Odessa.

Iris: "Oh no, why her out of all people?..."

Meredith: "Whoa?! Don't startle me, bitch!"

Iris: "Good morning to you too..."

Meredith: "Jesus Christ, is your cunt bleeding or something?"

Meredith: "Fuck Odessa, she can go to hell, where she belongs. With her kind."

Iris: "That's really harsh."

Meredith: "I don't care. I'm gonna pick some of those flowers and scram away from you."

Odessa: "I'LL GLADLY take you along with me to hell, Mer!!"

In the meanwhile, Euphelia and Eugene are called to Min Hee to talk about the consequences for not being at the musical song and missing the Elimination of Hannes and Jayda.

Min Hee: "I know. The point though, is that you have to sing when you get the note."

Eugene: "I know..."

Euphelia: "It's kind of an odd twist though. This show's about manipulating and analysing, am I right? If I wanted to sing I'd try to be on The Voice instead."

Min Hee: "... For any more questions regarding the singalong twist you'll have to ask Odessa, it was her idea."

Min Hee: "Yesterday it was announced before the Ranking that you should gather at 18:00 in the Karaoke Bar, which both of you didn't. You also both did not sing at the singalong, which as mentioned at the beginning of the show earns you a Strike*. So, in the end I think it is best to do just that and then move on. Do you understand that?"

Euphelia: "....."

Eugene: "We do, Min Hee."

Euphelia: "It sucks, but it's what it is..."

For the Challenge of the day the Jetsetters had to each search for an object on board that represented them best, while a Power of Veto duo, chosen by the group to be Eugene and Wendell, got the chance to rearrange all the existing duos into four new ones.

Meredith: "Got your eye on something, hm?!"

Iris: "Err..."

Euphelia: "..."

Wendell: "Meredith and Iris! I like the idea of that pairing!"

Eugene: "Maybe Freya and Oliver? I'd be interested to see Oliver working with Hannes' sister."

Eugene: "And then maybe... Kiki with Lucas or Ethan?"

Wendell: "That'd mean Kiki would be left with Lucas, she was paired with Ethan the past week."

Eugene: "Fair point. I still struggle telling them apart sometimes. Even after they tried to set me up with Lucas."

For the second part of the Challenge, the new duos visited every object one by one, with the objective to correctly guess who brought what to the game.

Freya: "Soo... What do you think?"

Ethan: "It's not mine. Neither Lucas'."

Freya: "Let me rephrase it - whose do you think it is?"

Ethan: "Flowers... one of the girls maybe?"

Iris: "What do we have here..."

Meredith: "It's a- wait... That's from MY room! If I find out which of those bastards walked with their dirty paws into my room then I'll!-"

Iris: "It's not mine, for sure. We only have Lucas or Kiki left."

Meredith: "Hmm... Kiki. She's more of a sneaky jerkass. Might actually roast her ass when I see her."

Iris: "If we're right that is."

After Eugene and Wendell used their Veto inefficiently, things got interesting in the aftermath, and once solid alliances and bonds started to crumble as accusations were thrown around.

Min Hee: "If we crunch up all the numbers you've still earned §75.000 total, which is not bad."

Odessa: "The 3 mistakes did add §45.000 for the Assassin too though, which neither is bad for them."

Min Hee: "You could've earned the full §120.000 though, if the veto was used to replace gramophone Meredith with Lucas, and to replace Lucas with Freya."

Odessa: "In short - there's been some sabotages during this Challenge. I'll give you some time to chat in order to figure it out."

Ethan: "Hmm, what helped out with that is Freya not claiming her own object as hers. We took a lot of time figuring out the sunflowers and now it turns out to be yours all along! What's with that?"

Freya: "Sorry?"

Ethan: "And now to think of it, your say caused us to mess up on pretty much all objects that weren't me or Lucas'."

Freya: "I'm not the only one who outed wrong ideas though. And you agreed with the wrong suggestions, if you really disagreed with me you could've said something about it."

Ethan: "Luckily the others fixed our stuff though."

Meredith: "Don't EVER steal a fucking thing from my room again."

Lucas: "Sheesh, I thought all furniture here was public property?"

Odessa: "That's true, everything you didn't bring along yourselves is Jetset's property."

Meredith: "Odessa, choke on your doggy cunt or something."

Oliver: "I am surrounded by the biggest idiots out there."

Things cooled off a little when the Jetsetter at last arrived at the last destination of the season.

Min Hee: "Another person to cheer for is our own Captain Dockhatt for safely bringing the boat to this location."

Odessa: "Please give him your biggest cheers everyone!"

*The Jetsetters applaud*

Captain Dockhatt: "Heheh... Thanks. But let's show ye landlubbers where I brought you this time..."

The Jetsetter's next destination is Monte Vista

While some Jetsetters got into petty arguments while staying on board in the night...

Lucas: "Ehr...- Ewww... What kind of movie is this?"

Euphelia: "Shipwrecked and Single! Rated 4 out of 5 stars on Google. Now shush!"

Lucas: "... Sorry..."

Iris: "Sheesh, Euphelia. It's not all about you!"

... the group who went out in town got to meet a familiar face from last season.

Janna: "At last, you've noticed me."

Min Hee: "Is that you, Janna?"

Janna: "Sup?"

Min Hee: "Long time no see!"

Min Hee: "Kinda? Sounds like you had some road blocks then.."

Janna: "Yeah, I gotta admit that. Had some family issues along the way. But I came out stronger in the end."

Min Hee: "You mentioned a bit of that in the finale last year."

Janna: "Yeah. I'm glad that I turned over a new leaf in my life."

After Eugene and Wendell reshuffled the duos, the stakes for all the other Jetsetters have been reshuffeled as well. Now that one family name is certain to leave the game today, the battle to gain safety is on, and is being played through perception and manipulation. With another Challenge coming up before the Assassin gets to strike again, a lot can happen. Who will play? Who will be played? Who will get the long end of the stick that is the shuffling of odds and strategies?

Janna: "Wendell..."

Wendell: "... Hmm?..."

Janna: "Wake up. I got something important to tell you..."

Wendell: "Something.. important?"

Janna: "Very important..."

Wendell: "Very?.. It's about the game?"

Janna: "Ack--kggghh..."

Wendell: "Janna, you alright?"

'Janna': "Yesss... It's time to put you back in your place, brother!"

Wendell: "Fuck..."

Wendell: "... How?!"

Wendi: "With the knife in the bedroom."

Wendell: "Not on my watch, Ferris!"

Wendell: "Ai!?"

Wendell: "Fuck no!"

*Wendell snaps his wrist as he falls*

Wendell: "Ah, shit that hurts..."

Wendi: "That's a tickle with what I got in store for you..."

Wendell: "No!"

Wendi: "Yesss...."

Wendell: "Just fucking kill me off already."

Wendi: "No, of course not... I could still make use out of you when you blindly do as I say..."

Wendell: "No..."

Wendi: "Yes... All resistance is futile. Not that you will have it for long... I will coldly mastermind you to bring glory to Wendi Ferris."

Wendell: "Wait a minute........"

Wendell: "Wendi would NEVER call her actions cold!"

Wendell: "Fucking hell, thank goodness that was just a horrible dream..."

*As Wendell crawls out of his bed, he notices the sunlight on his blanket*

Wendell: "Ugh, those colours... I better get myself outta here asap."

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

Diary Room

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

Wendell: "I've...I've had some time to think since Wendi left, rest in peace, poor thing...oh wait, she's not dead, poor thing. I am using this time to more officially separate from her, then. Goodbye, Wendi. There, I said it. Goodbye. Wendi, goodbye. Sister, goodbye! I suppose I came into this season with the idea that I would more publicly expel her, not from the Ferris family, of course, I have no power to do that, but...who says I stay in that family, then? The Ferris name probably never suited me, I changed so much from the day I was created, or born, really. I could have been given any other name and I'd suit it, huh. I said once, you know sometime ago, that I could marry and take some other last name, to lose the name of Ferris. I have grown tired of rolling over and over in the mud of it. Up and then down again, round and round in the filth of being a vindictive, spiteful person. Wendi was always mother's favourite, and sometimes I would be liked, unless I went off and spent the night with some random, and I would come home to disappoint her. Good riddance to the old crone, then."

*Wendell sighs, coughing*

Wendell: "Wendi is too far to come hunting me down and strap me to the spin and torture me. We're here in Monte Vista, and Monte Vistians...well, I've always said they were an attractive bunch. Oh, but I can't forget about the ones I bunk with...Wendell, formerly of the Ferris name, well he's...he's tired. Tired of being a mess. Tired of being the villain's sidekick. I try to find someone, after all this? Try to find a new life...I suppose it isn't completely out of reach. Try to redeem myself. I've got to go then, diary room. Can't sit on my butt all day."

*Wendell winks*

Wendell: "Wendi wouldn't approve."

Kiki: "Oh there you are, Lucas."

Lucas: "Oh, morning Kiki."

Iris: "Morning..."

Kiki: "Can I have a word with you?"

Lucas: "... Sure? What's the matter?"

Kiki: "It's about Euphelia. She's my new duo partner, but I don't really know how she ticks..."

Lucas: "And you're approaching me because she was my partner first?"

Kiki: "Yeah, that. We might not be on the best starting terms after we tried to set you up with Eugene, but it's better for our partnership if I can understand her a bit better. So, got any advice?"

Lucas: "Well... Euphelia does use her brains a lot. And she prefers to work alone."

Kiki: "We're in a duo though, we're not playing alone."

Lucas: "What I'm saying is that you need to give her some time to be by herself, you know."

Kiki: "Hmm, like that... So I just talk things with her, give her some time to think and meet her again later on?"

Lucas: "Yeah, you could put it like that."

Kiki: "That's good, thanks. I can talk to my other alliances in the meanwhile."

Lucas: "Hmm, you better do your best to keep her trust though - she can be very secretive."

Kiki: "Thank you, I'll keep that in mind whe-.. when I see her."

Lucas: "You're welcome. Did you happen to see Euphelia today, by any chance?"

Kiki: "Ehh..."

Lucas: "She's right behind me now?"

Euphelia: "Next to you in fact, Lucas."

Lucas: "Close enough."

Euphelia: "Were you talking about me, by the way?"

Kiki: ".. Yes, I asked for some advice on how to best approach our duoship."

Euphelia: "Oh, that's... interesting. Can't deny it's a struggle to tune ourselves to a new partner, can we?"

Iris: "Tell me about it."

Euphelia: "Oh, hi there Iris, didn't see you there."

Iris: "..."

Lucas: "... I have to work with Oliver now. Could be worse, but we haven't walked much."

Min Hee (through the intercom): "Kiki, please come to the Diary Room."

Kiki: "... Oh crap, it better not be something bad."

Lucas: "Good luck Kiki."

Iris: "You're leaving?"

Kiki: "Yeah, they're calling me."

Iris: "Oh, I guess I'll find a more quiet spot too."

Lucas: "... Euphelia, can I ask you for a favour?"

Euphelia: "... Depends."

Lucas: "... It's about fashion."

Eugene: "I get why Phia moved to this place."

Oliver: "Ack! Oh hi there!"

Eugene: "Oh, hey Oli-"

Oliver: "I'm being stalked."

Lenka: "Yip yip!"

Eugene: "Oh, hello Lenka."

Oliver: "She's been following me around ever since last night and it's starting to really bother me."

Eugene: "... And that's a bad thing?"

Oliver: "If you count in all the hair she sheds it is. Not to mention she could vomit, or urinate inside."

Eugene: "If you put it like that..."

Eugene: "Let's take a break and enjoy the sea breeze."

Oliver: ".. Okay?"

Eugene: "Why not, it helps me relax when I'm stressed."

Oliver: "Oh, haha... You remind me of Benjie, he's also like that."

Eugene: "Oh, hahaha."

Oliver: "You actually have a lot in common, I think. Sea, sports, working as life guards and all that jazz."

Eugene: "Oh, really? ... Shame that I didn't bond more with him."

Oliver: "Yeah.. It's been like six days since he's been Eliminated?"

Eugene: "Wow. Time flies."

Oliver: "Yeah, and I'm still slightly annoyed at Odessa for the way she had them kicked out. Just plain rude and uncalled for."

Eugene: "Yeah, and I still remember that she startled Hannes the next day when he complained in the diary room."

Oliver: "That's right, I almost forgot that."

Eugene: "She wasn't that bad last season, was she?"

Oliver: "... Nah, she wasn't. Well, she had her moments, but she's not as bad as she is now."

Eugene: "... It's a shame all Jetsetters who have kids themselves are Eliminated already."

Oliver: "... Hannes and Pizza Boy, right? And maybe his brother?"

Eugene: "Yeah, those three I believe."

Oliver: "Going to be brutally honest here: I don't mind Pizza Boy and Hannes gone. Couldn't really get along with them?"

Eugene: "Hannes? He wasn't a bad person, right?"

Oliver: "... Remember that time I accidentally punched you in the face?"

Eugene: "Oh, that's right..."

Oliver: "Yeah.. Maybe if we got Lenka to be Odessa's lap pet again she'd calm down a bit?"

Eugene: "Who knows?"

Modern Room

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

Euphelia: "You sure you want me to give you a make-over?"

Lucas: "Yeah, I'm sure. I mean, I've been thinking recently that I've always been standing in Ethan's shadow. I want to make a statement on who I am. Not that nerdy guy, but someone more casual. Hip. Someone more... popular."

Euphelia: "Hmm, I could see what I have that fits."

Lucas: "You're the closest person I have who has fashion sense. You could really help me express myself a bit more."

Euphelia: "Hmm... Let's take a look at you. What colour would you say fits your person the best?"

Lucas: "Blue I guess? ... Yeah, blue. A tiny bit more in-your-face than this shirt."

Euphelia: "Hmm, I can work with that. Accessories?"

Lucas: "... Could you maybe dye my hairblue as well, please?...  Screw my parents' beliefs, I should wear something with a rainbow. It's who I am."

Euphelia: "... I gotta warn that I'm not very experienced with dyeing hair, but I'll do my best."

Lucas: "Perfect, let's get it started!"

*Ding-ding-ding-ding!*

Euphelia & Lucas: "... Really?"

Euphelia:

You were the popular one, 

the popular chick

It is what it is, 

now I'm popular-ish

Lucas:

Standing on the field 

with your pretty pompoms

Now you're working at the movies 

selling popular corn

Lucas:

I could have been a mess 

but I never went wrong

Cause I'm putting down my story 

in a popular song

Euphelia:

Ahh, I said I'm putting down my story 

in a popular song

Lucas and Euphelia:

My problem, 

I never was a model

I never was a scholar, 

but you were always popular

Lucas and Euphelia:

Lucas and Euphelia:

Lucas and Euphelia:

So catch up,

So catch up, 

cause you got an awful long way to go

Euphelia:

Always on the lookout 

for someone to hate

Lucas:

Pickin' on me 

like a dinner plate

Euphelia:

You hid during classes 

and in between them

Lucas:

Dunk me in the toilets

now it's you that cleans them

Lucas:

You tried to make me feel bad 

with the things you do

It ain't so funny 

when the joke's on you

Euphelia:

Ooh, 

the joke's on you

Got everyone laughing, 

got everyone clapping, asking

Lucas and Euphelia:

How come you look so cool?

Cause that's the only thing that I learned at school, boy

Uh huh, I said that's the only thing that I learned at school

Lucas and Euphelia:

My problem, 

I never was a model

I never was a scholar, 

but you were always popular

Lucas and Euphelia:

You were singing 

all the songs I don't know

Now you're in the front row, 

cause my song is popular

Lucas and Euphelia:

Popular, 

I know about popular

It's not about who you are

Downtown Monte Vista

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

Min Hee: "At any moment you will receive a map of downtown Monte Vista  on your phones..."

Min Hee: "Rumour has it, that a mysterious, yet very dangerous person, 'Signore X', is staying undercover there..."

Odessa: "Let's try to catch him!"

*The Jetsetters gasp*

Oliver: "Wait.. you're letting us chase after someone dangerous?"

Odessa: "Why not, this is Jetset."

Lucas: "Oh god..."

Meredith: "Hmm, sounds interesting."

Min Hee: "No Oliver, this Signore X is not actually a dangerous person, and no Meredith, you are not allowed to cast, throw, put or apply any curse, hex, jinx or elixer at him."

Oliver: "Phew."

Meredith: "Fuck you too!"

 Odessa: "But first, I'll need each and every duo to pick a starting spot for the Challenge. Every duo will have to choose 1 out of 5 possible starting spots, which are: 1, 5, 16, 25 and 32. Please talk this through with your fellow Jetsetters first."

Min Hee: "Further game explanation will follow when all starting locations are chosen. For beginners though: this Challenge will work like the board game Scotland Yard."

Euphelia: "Any starting point is fine with me. We're playing as one unit anyway."

Oliver: "What about 25? If Lucas's okay with that."

Lucas: "Sounds good to me."

Meredith: "I can't really get my head around this shit right now."

Iris: "16 then. Might as well go for something."

Eugene: "I think I would like to start with spot 32 for me and Wendell."

Wendell: "Yeah, that could work."

Freya: "Never played Scotland Yard, isn't that the game where you hunt somebody all across the globe?"

Kiki: "Just London, as far as I know. 1 for us, that fine with you Phia?"

Euphelia: "Yeah I, Euphelia, am fine with that."

Ethan: "Well, that leaves 5 for us Freya."

Min Hee: "Somewhere on the board, Signore X is hiding from you. You'll have to move around the board to chase, and eventually catch him, while Signore X will move around in their try to avoid being captured by you."

Odessa: "Every turn will have 2 phases: 1 where you all will move simultaneously and 1 where Signore X will move."

Odessa: "You'll start off with §150.000 cash. Every move will cost money. When you run out of Simoleons, the Challenge is over and Signore X wins."

Min Hee: "Moving on yellow will cost you §1.000, moving on green will cost you §3.000 and moving on red will cost you §10.000."

Odessa: "Two duos cannot be on the same spot. If one duo claims a spot first, other duos will have to move to other spots."

Min Hee: "You are working together in this Challenge. Planning your strategy on the thread is a must, and therefore allowed."

??? (through the portophone): "During your chase you'll be supported by your favourite Reporter!

Wendell: "Hold on, I remember that voice!"

???: "Hi Wendell, it's been over a year hasn't it?"

Wendell: "Rep, we were in the Abnormality house together!"

Rep: "Yeah, I recall that. Still remember how I won HOH because of that punishment comp, lol."

Wendell: "Eh, yeah. That was... unique."

Rep: "Lol. But anyway, Signore X's moves are costless. He can make limitless use of all coloured lines. I will do my best though to hack into Signore's X location and will keep you all up to date on his moves and hopefully whereabouts."

Min Hee: "If one of the duos ends up on the square where Signore X is, the remaining Simoleons will be earned by the Jetsetters."

Odessa: "Besides that, the duo who caught Signore X will earn themselves Immunity for the upcoming Elimination. In this phase of the game earning Immunity can mean the difference between staying or leaving."

Min Hee: "Teamwork is key for this Challenge. Trust eachother and keep track of all possible moves, but don't forget to keep the upcoming Elimination in mind as you play..."

Odessa: "Good luck and lots of wisdom! You will all be transported to your starting locations now..."

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

Euphelia & Kiki

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

Kiki: "I'm not sure whether to go for 2 or 9. 2 would offer more options across the map?"

Euphelia: "Yeah, that'd be a good option."

Euphelia: "We're standing at the Watchgate, so that'd mean we'd have to go left."

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

Ethan & Freya

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

Ethan: "Okay, so which side do we go?"

Freya: "I dunno, do you have any good ideas?"

Ethan: "... What's it with your attitude? You've been ignoring me, or been agressive since we've been working together!"

Freya: "I'm not the one who's been trying to throw their buddies under the bus?"

Ethan: "What?"

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

Iris & Meredith

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

Meredith: "Screw it, running around a town at the start was shitty enough already, not gonna do it again."

Iris: "At least we're working together now instead of racing against eachother..."

Meredith: "Doesn't change the fact it's shitty."

Iris: "... Kinda, it's more Pearly's thing to do."

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

Lucas & Oliver

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

Oliver: "Well, let's take a look at the map, shall we?"

Kiki (through the phone): "Guys, Euphelia and I are moving to 2."

Lucas: "That means they're moving to the middle."

Oliver: "We could either go upwards and check the gap they're leaving out, or we could go middlewards too."

Lucas: "... We should talk to it with some of the other duos."

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

Eugene & Wendell

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

Oliver (through the phone): "Wendell, Eugene, are you coming to where we are at now?"

Wendell: "Oh, wouldn't it be wiser to move to the middle?"

Lucas (through the phone): "That's what Oliver and I are considering."

Eugene: "We have to patrol both the borders and the middle..."

Eugene: "We should think about which direction would be best for our strategy."

Wendell: "Only 1 duo can get the Immunity..."

Eugene: "Exactly."

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

Signore X

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

Signore X: "..."

Signore X: "Waiting for my ordine..."

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

Euphelia & Kiki

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

Kiki: "It does help out that you live here, you know all the hiding spots here."

Euphelia: "I don't go out that much though."

Kiki: "... Oh. Too bad."

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

Eugene & Wendell

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

Eugene: "... Wait, why are the hosts still standing there?"

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

Lucas & Oliver

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

Lucas: "If we all start off at the edges Signore X might start off in the middle."

Oliver: "Good spot."

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

Ethan & Freya

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

Freya: "Wait, Kiki and Euphelia are coming from there? We gotta go this way, pronto."

Ethan: "Yeah, sure. You and I have both decided to go this way."

Freya: "... Sheesh!"

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

Iris & Meredith

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

Iris: "We better go downtown, and see whether he's hiding there."

Meredith: "This is gonna suck ass."

Iris: ".. We can get Immunity though."

Meredith: "Nah, we're walking on shitty cobbles on fucking high heels! I'm not gonna break my fucking anckles today."

Iris: "... Don't you know any healing spells?"

Meredith: "Why would I? I'm not goody puckersucker Melinda!"

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

Signore X

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

Signore X: "Sciocchezze! They may see me!"

*Signore X receives a text from a secret instructor*

Signore X: "Eccellente."

Signore X: "I can take the percorso interno, the indoor route..."

*All Jetsetters have moved to new positions*

Rep: "Guys, I've track to crack some codes here, and I got a small lead: Signore X has moved via a yellow line this turn!"

https://youtu.be/wjJStgaYl4A?t=47

Oliver: "Mamma mia!"

Eugene: "Here I go again!"

Min Hee: "My my!"

Iris: "How can I resist you?"

Freya: "Mamma mia!"

Lucas: "Does it show again?"

Odessa: "My my!"

Ethan: "Just how much I've missed you?"

Rep: "Err... guys? You alright? Lol?"

Min Hee: "Oh, sorry Rep. Couldn't help it."

Rep: "Okay. Back to the game?"

Kiki: "Euphelia and I are going to the centre of the town as well. Signore X has to stick to the sides if we all try and get away from the field borders."

Euhpelia: "This way leads to the theatre."

Iris: "Hmm, nobody's in there..."

Meredith: "He could be hiding, let's catch that cunt and get this over with."

Freya: "Look, there's the gate. That's useful."

Ethan: "Meredith and Iris are coming this way though, we might want them to spread away from us instead."

Freya: "Then they should go another way."

Lucas: "So the central plaza's over there."

Oliver: "The good thing is that we have a lot of view there."

Eugene: "Yes? Aha, so you're going central too, Kiki? Great!"

Wendell: "Wait, if they're going central, shouldn't we, you know, fill in the gap they're leaving behind?"

Eugene: "... Good point, I'll try and talk about it with them?"

*All Jetsetters have moved to new positions*

Rep: "Again our only intel is the route type he took: over the yellow line again."

Rep: "I've tried to locate his whereabouts again, but unfortunately the only information we have is that he used a yellow line again."

Freya: "Well, I hope that you can do a better job at tracing him soon, I don't wanna walk around aimlessly all day."

Ethan: "Neither do I."

Freya: "People, any information on your current locations?"

Iris: "Freya, look to your right."

Freya: "... Oh."

Ethan: "Tell them to go the way we came from."

Freya: "... We are telling you to go the direction Ethan and I came from."

Iris: "... Okay?"

Lucas: "Okay, we've reached the square. What direction should we go to next?"

Oliver: "Hold on... That building..."

Oliver: "I thought they had a different painting hanging there last season. I wonder what that could mean..."

Oliver: "It's the building from the painting in the Diary Room!"

Lucas: "Wait, what?"

Oliver: "That building's been on the Diary Room painting all along!"

Lucas: "... That's odd."

*All Jetsetters have moved to new positions*

Rep: "No news. Just the same old yellow line."

Kiki: "Guys, Euphelia and me made it to the plaza, is it okay that we keep circling around here?"

Eugene: "Wendell and I jumped back next to the location where you started through the red line, so we got this part covered."

Kiki (through the phone): "Wait, what?"

Wendell: "Feel free to move on in your direction."

Oliver: "Wait, if you two are now all the way down there... It might be better if Lucas and I go down next to where you started?"

Euphelia (through the phone): "You're going to the mafia quarters?"

Lucas: "Wait, did you say mafia quarters?!"

Euphelia (through the phone): ".... Welcome to Italy Lucas."

Freya: "Just continue around the perimeter."

Ethan: "We just heard that other duos are going that way too, shouldn't we go back?"

Freya: "Nah, We sent Iris and the witch that way."

Ethan: "Hmm, let's hope that'll keep Signore X at bay."

Freya: "Besides, it's not like he'd closely follow us or something. That'd be too risky."

Ethan: "... I dunno. If we walk around predictably he might try..."

Freya: "You got a point there."

*All Jetsetters have moved to new positions*

Rep: "Hey guys, surprising news, another yellow line! Yaay... I'm close to a breakthrough, I prom-... Wait what..."

Rep (through the phone): "OH MY GOD! Signore X knew I was trying to break into his location data all along... He's texted me, with an offer..."

Eugene: "What?"

Rep (through the phone): "Signore X is willing to drop his location once after his next move. But only if we pay up §10.000 now. Guys, should we do it?"

Wendell: "Yeah, of course! We're just walking blindly now!"

Oliver (through the phone): "Exactly! Let's take it! Lucas agrees too!"

Meredith: "I say yes. Means this shit is over sooner."

Iris: "I agree, and Meredith says yes too. We will go to the plaza, so we can approach X from any side."

Kiki (through the phone): "Me and Euphelia agree too. Small price, so we can keep in much more."

Freya (through the phone): "What, Meredith and a change of heart?!"

Freya: "WHAHAHAHAHA that is the most hilarious joke I've ever heard. Since when does she have a heart? "

Meredith (through the phone): "Funny how you're so old but act like a little brat, have you nothing better to do? You don't know me, so kindly fuck off and continue with the Challenge, thanks.

Freya: "Well, you must like talking about little brats, considering you are one."

Odessa: "Min Hee, fetch me the popcorn!"

Iris: "Sweet baby Watcher on a motorbike. I'm the only sane person here."

Freya: "With that witch on this cruiser, not for long girl."

*Odessa's popcorn munching intensifies, as a motor vehicle arrives near one of the duos...*

Sweet Baby Watcher on a Motorbike: "Hey, how you doin' gurl?"

Meredith: "... WHAT THE FUCK????!!!"

Iris: "Much better now you've showed up. I just want to lock myself in my room and write a meet-cute."

Sweet Baby Watcher on a Motorbike: "That's good, follow your ambitions gurl!"

Freya (through the phone): "Locking myself in my room sounds so good right now, but then Ethan would accuse me of something again."

*Sweet Baby Watcher on a Motorbike races away*

Meredith: "This crap makes no fucking sense whatsoever and I am a witch who screws over the damn basics of common logical sense every shitty single day!"

Oliver: "Let's take a look at the map, shall we?"

Lucas: "... I don't really feel save around here."

Oliver: "Oh, how do you mean?"

Lucas: "..."

*All Jetsetters have moved to new positions*

Rep: "We got him! We got a trace! We got a trace!"

Oliver (through the phone): "Rep, get to the point."

Rep: "So... after we sacrificed the money we got a short but clear signal from Signore X. He's moved over a yellow line to spot 8! Here's hoping you can do something with it and catch him. Good luck!"

Iris: "Retreat! Retreat!"

Meredith: "Oh great! We're gonna break our fucking anckles there!"

Euphelia: "We can take the expensive route! Run for it!"

Kiki: "Almost done.. Yep!"

Euphelia: "Don't waste our time texting!... wait..."

Lucas: "If we're quick enough we can cut off my brother and Freya! That's one rival less to worry about!"

Oliver: "I'm sure they'll understand it's a game..."

Lucas: "Ethan's grown up enough for that."

*All Jetsetters have moved to new positions*

Eugene: "Rep, how's the signal?"

Rep: "Guys, I lost the signal of his exact position, I only know that he travelled with a yellow line again."

Freya: "Oh my god, X is there!"

Ethan: "Ah fuck! They cut us off!"

Freya: "NO!"

Lucas: "Sorry bro!"

Eugene: "Iris, you and Meredith go block his path at 5!"

Wendell: "Eugene, we gotta run ourselves!"

Eugene: "No, we gotta be backup."

*All Jetsetters have moved to new positions*

Rep: "Yellow line! Busy trying to catch his signal!"

Kiki: "Oh my god, that's gotta be him!"

Iris: "Oh no, they've cut us off!"

Meredith: "HEY BITCHES, THAT'S OUR IMMUNITY YOU'RE STEALING!"

Euphelia: "Sorry!"

Signore X: "Avere pietà! Have mercy!"

Signore X: "Fermare! Don't hurt me! Take this, per favore..."

*Signore X hands Lucas a small note from his sleeve*

Lucas: "What's this?"

Oliver: "What does it say?"

Lucas: "Ahem.. 

"Dear Jetsetters,

If you read this after catching Signore X, we'd like to congratulate you for earning yourselves Immunity! All the money left over on your tally goes to the Jetsetter's winnings, and all the money you spend on travelling will go to the Assassin's stash."

Lucas: "However, if you ran out of money, and the hosts are reading out this letter to you in the Challenge aftermath, the Immunity is earned by the Jetsetter or Jetsetters giving me my moving orders, they got this task because they scored the lowest on the "Who do you think deserves Immunity the most"-ranking.

This person or these persons go by the last name of Lafayette.

Good luck and lots of wisdom,

Signore X"

Oliver: "Wait, so Kiki, you were the one playing as Signore X all along?!"

Kiki: "... Yes, I texted his instructions every turn in secret."

Euphelia: "So that's why you were texting. It wasn't the other duos at all..."

Lucas: "Wow... Never saw that one coming.. But hey, we got Immunity!"

Euphelia: "You got a lot of explaining to do, Kiki Lafayette."

*The map situation after Signore X was caught*

Diary Room

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

Euphelia: "Okay, I am not going to lie, I am actually pissed by the fact that my "partner" didn't bother to tell me that she was the one telling where Signore X to go throughout the whole Challenge. Let's see, only our duo was given 2 winning conditions: First, Signore X got caught by us; second, Signore X escaped when the players had run out of money to move. Either way telling me where she's planning to go in advance could have increased our chance of getting that Immunity."

Euphelia: "You know what, I don't even care about that bum Immunity that much, I'm upset because she didn't choose to open up and tell me the truth. I know that technically speaking we are partners but if she doesn't want to work with me, which unfortunately seems to be the case no matter how hard I'm trying to get my head around what she did, I can and will fully respect that, I prefer to work alone anyway."

Odessa: "Jetsetters..."

Odessa: "It took you eight turns and an offer from Signore X, but eventually you succeeded in catching him!"

Min Hee: "I've crunched down the numbers of your steps, and in the end you spent §74.000 out of the §150.000, leaving you with §76.000 for your own winnings. Today you beat the Assassin money-wise. Good job!"

Odessa: "And a big congratulations to Oliver and Lucas for earning Immunity after catching Signore X on square 8. You cannot be Nominated by the Assassin and therefore not be Eliminated at the upcoming Ranking."

Min Hee: "Kiki, you played a good game as Signore X but unfortunately the other Jetsetters eventually outsmarted you. That sadly means you have not earned Immunity today."

Odessa: "And I'd like to give a big thank you to our special guest start for today's Challenge: our beloved sidekick Rep the Reporter!"

Rep: "I had a blast helping you all out, it was a nice extra gig besides hosting the finale!"

Odessa: "Bwoah!"

Min Hee: "Ouch! My nose..."

Rep: "Oh sorry. Lol."

Min Hee: "You have to crunch down what happened at this Challenge and why quick though - This afternoon you will do the Ranking, and after that the Assassin will Eliminate another duo. And with one duo Immune it leaves a three out of four chance to be Nominated by the Assassin and be on the chopping block."

Odessa: "It is now time to return to the Jetsetter and prepare yourselves for things to come. But don't forget to enjoy your time on board - it might be your final day! Good luck and lots of wisdom!"

Odessa: "You're now all together here, if you want to talk out some stuff..."

Euphelia: "Kiki.. why did you never tell me of your hidden task?"

Kiki: "... They told me not to during the briefing. Remember when I was called to the Diary Room this morning?"

Euphelia: "You could have tried to run Signore X straight to us, we had two options to win the Immunity and that way we could've saved a lot of money."

Iris: "It's quite suspicious if you put it like that."

Kiki: "... I didn't think of that in the moment. Sorry guys."

Meredith: "It's still shady that Kiki was in that role in the first place."

Lucas: "The letter literally said it was because of the Immunity Ranking two days ago."

Freya: "Yeah, Mer and Phia. Kiki got there as the result of all our actions in that Ranking!"

Meredith: "Don't call me Mer, you glowworm!"

Euphelia: "You are not in the Phia-zone, Freya."

Ethan: "Welp, here we go again."

Iris: "Some people..- ack, you're standing really close to the trash can."

Eugene: "Okay guys, calm down! This Challenge is not about the results, it's about the roads taken."

Lucas: "That's right.. thank goodness Oliver and I got Immunity, we only yellow moves."

Oliver: "Yeah... can't say that about you two, you got two green lines and a red one?"

Wendell: "Yeah, and it didn't help the two of us out at all... Whoopsie."

Ethan: "At least you didn't get blocked off in the chase."

Lucas: "Oh, sorry Eeth."

Ethan: "Don't be sorry, it's okay... I'm still annoyed by it, but it's just a game in the end."

Oliver: "Who knows, maybe you'll betray us for Immunity next Challenge? Karma, heheh."

Meredith: "At least you cunts could run properly without breaking your fucking anckles!"

Ethan: "Hm?"

Meredith: "We girls are on heels on damn cobblestone paths!"

Iris: "Yeah... It was really tricky."

Meredith: "I mean, you guys can just prance around on shitty sneakers and vans! It's not fair!"

Oliver: "Oh... Nobody forced you to wear high heels though."

Lucas: "You could kick them off next time. Or wear sneakers yourself."

Meredith: "Yeah, whatever. It's still fucking unfair, nightmoth over there could just fly around without a single care. I call for a recount."

Lucas: "... Erm..."

Wendell: "Well..."

Freya: "You know what, I've really HAD it with some people here!"

Wendell: "Uh oh."

Kiki: "Freya, wait!..."

Freya: "No, I need some peace and quiet right now!"

Meredith: "Don't hit your chicken wings with the door on your way out, cunt!"

Kiki: "Meredith!"

Wendell: "Aaaaaaand she's gone."

Eugene: "That went well. Not."

Iris: "Okay, now what?"

Eugene: "I'd like to adress our moves and their prices again."

Euphelia: "Only Kiki and I used the red lines besides you. And making that move was important to chase down Signore X. It was worth it. Can't say that about you."

Wendell: "... We were the backup, remember?"

Euphelia: "But that red line move you made in the beginning was pretty much just throwing away money."

Wendell: "... Maybe. But we tried to fill the gap you left there."

Odessa: "I love those talks!"

Oliver: "Yeah... All I have to know is that the line between teamwork and selfishness is incredibly low and that it showed itself in this Challenge. I got a lot to think about."

Euphelia: "Yeah. So do I."

Min Hee: "So should you all."

Lucas: "... And nobody even noticed my new clothes."

Captain Dockhatt: "Hello, me lass."

Freya: "Shut up!"

Captain Dockhatt: "Whoa?!"

And all the intrigue with Signore X is giving me ideas... also, I swear Simon and Melissa went there at some point... hey, hang on, is that where Mum got the name from? Gonna have to ask. But anyway, focus. You're turning into your sister. You gotta go write this stuff down. What I wouldn't give for a mind-reading machine that'd do the work for me... anyway, bye."

Wendell: "Congrats on that Immunity, man!"

Lucas: "Ah, thanks. I wasn't so sure about being partnered with Oliver this round, but now we got it in the pocket I'm feeling happy that I'm sticking around for now."

Wendell: "Yeah, now me and Eugene just gotta do well at the Ranking and we'll be getting to the next round too."

Lucas: "Don't you have to talk to Eugene then?"

Wendell: "Nah, the afternoon's young, and so's your new hair colour."

Lucas: "Ah thanks, no-one commented about it yet today."

Wendell: "Yeah, I was busy with the Challenge, so I didn't think of mentioning it yet. Anyway, I also noticed your nice new clothes."

Lucas: "Thanks, Euphelia helped me out with them."

Wendell: "Wait, she's doing fashion things as well, right?"

Lucas: "Yeah she does. Though she has a very analytical approach to it as well."

Wendell: "Just like she does with everything."

Lucas: "Hahahaha."

Wendell: "Hahaha..."

Wendell: "... Lucas, this thing has a button to lower the roof at your side, right?"

Lucas: ".. Yeah, the Love Button?"

Wendell: "Could you press it? There's... something I have to talk about with you."

Lucas: "... Okay....."

*Lucas presses the Love Button. The roof lowers itself, giving Lucas and Wendell more privacy*

Wendell: "Better..."

Lucas: "You want to talk..."

Wendell: "Yes, I've had a bad dream last night."

Lucas: "Oh..."

Lucas: "What happened?"

Wendell: "I was just sleeping in my bed, and then Janna Anthony came in."

Lucas: "Janna Anthony? She was the first boot from last season, right?"

Wendell: "Yeah, her. She was at the same café as us last night."

Wendell: "Getting sidetracked though, she called me out of bed because she wanted to talk to me."

Lucas: "Hmm."

Wendell: "But then she turned into Wendi, and started chasing me with a knife! And then I slipped and fell!"

Lucas: "That's really creepy!"

Wendell: "Yeah... and-- Wendi-- I know my sister, and she'd actually do that for real if it benefitted her... It's just freaky!"

Lucas: "Yeah... that's freaky. Wendi's gone though."

Wendell: "We'll all be there at the finale. And I'm just really scared of what she'll do then?"

Lucas: "... Maybe Euphelia could help you make a disguise?"

Wendell: "It has to be a good one, or else she might recognise me."

Lucas: "We have to make a plan for that."

Ethan: "Hiya, love birds!"

Lucas: "Oh.. hello Eeth.."

Wendell: "Love birds???"

Ethan: "Just kidding, I'm gonna practise my diving."

Ethan: "Woohp!"

Wendell: "There goes our privacy..."

Lucas: "Sucks."

Wendell: "Ethan, mind if I jump in too?"

Ethan: "Sure!"

Wendell: "Prrrr-WOO!"

Ethan: "Look out!"

*Wendell almost hits Ethan in his jump*

Wendell: "Whoops, sorry."

Ethan: "Just look out next time."

Wendell: "You should look out now."

Ethan: "Wh-"

Wendell: "Splash monster attack!"

Ethan: "Hey! Don't!"

Wendell: "Sorry!"

Ethan: "Never mind, I'll practise when you're not in here."

Wendell: "Perfect."

Ethan: "What was that, Wendell?"

Wendell: "Eh, nothing."

Rep: "Oh crap."

Ethan: "Waaaait a second."

Ethan: "Rep, what are you doing there?"

Rep: "Oh, hello Ethan."

Ethan: "... Rep, you were listening on us weren't you?"

Rep: "... No, I saw that roof top lowering itself, and I was just interested in the technology behind it."

Ethan: "... Do you seriously expect me to fall for that?"

Rep: "It's true, Ethan."

Ethan: "..."

Wendell: "Wait, Rep the Reporter has been listening in on us the whole time?!"

Ethan: "I think so."

Wendell: "... Crep..."

Rep: "No, I'm trying to figure out how the lowering rooftop works."

Lucas: "Oh sheesh..."

Freya: "Get out!"

Kiki: "It's me, Kiki."

Freya: "... Come in."

Kiki: "Hey... you okay?..."

Freya: "No, I've had it with some people here..."

Kiki: "Euphelia and Meredith?"

Freya: "Mostly them. But some of the others are getting on my nerves too."

Kiki: "That sounds not good. Sorry..."

Freya: "You're one of the few sane people around. But people like Odessa, she's clearly abusing her hosting power. And Min Hee, her mother and therefore responsible for raising her, doesn't even do much about it!"

Kiki: "Yeah, I'm worried about her too."

Freya: "She's gonna crash, just wait for it. Then we have Oliver, who just got a stick up his butt. And then there's Ethan, out of everyone, who goes and publicly calls me out and accuses me of sabotaging after that Challenge yesterday. I've had it with him for a bit, and I've had it with everyone else accusing eachother! Can't we just, like, peacefully get along with eachother for a second?"

Kiki: "...... I get what you're talking about... But I cannot change that's the way the game works."

Freya: "What?"

Kiki: "Someone on this boat is the Assassin. We have to figure out who, without them figuring out we're figuring them out. And we have to be critical of eachother. It's the game..."

Freya: ".... Ughhh...."

Diary Room

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

*Freya rubs her head in frustration*

Freya: "I don't get it, I really don't get it. This show was supposed to bring me the best time of my life. You know, like bringing me a lot of new friends, bringing Hannes some joy again after his wife died, showing me that I'm not just some klutzy Fairy who talks way too much and and can't be taken seriously and showing me that I can actually conquer something. But all of this has been turning from the best time of my life, which was the case in the first few weeks, to my own personal nightmare. I am a joyful and happy person, but the truth is...I don't think I've ever been this unhappy..."

*Freya sheds a tear*

Freya: "I might have made friends here, but most of them, like Pearl, Benjie, Apollo and Jayda, got Eliminated already. Hannes, the person that probably was the biggest reason why I did this also got Eliminated, I'm doing terribly in every single Challenge, and quite honestly, most of the others are a NIGHTMARE! I'm not even kidding, Meredith is a sociopathic bitch, Euphelia thinks she can own her brother, Oliver is way too proud, Odessa clearly abuses her hosting power and Min Hee may warn her about it, but never does something actively to stop her, and Wendell thinks we are way too gullible to see that he might be as pyschotic as his sister, I mean come on, his whole family is a disaster, why in the world would he be the only sane person?"

Freya: "The person I'm getting the most frustrated with at the moment is Ethan though. Before you ask "why not Meredith, she treats everybody like trash?" let me tell you something. It has not even been a few days ago that I actually liked him. He was funny, sweet and probably one of the few people here that I could talk to without asking myself why I'm still on this cruiser. But ever since we were matched in a duo with him... I don't know what happened, but it is almost like he did a 180° turn. I mean I get it was mainly my fault that we failed in the challenge, I mean there is no excuse for me not detecting my own item, BUT it is not like he gave everything in the Challenge either. Most of our guesses were made by me, except for his own item, and instead of discussing things, he just blindly agreed without second-guessing my ideas, which would have brought us a better result. And then he had the audacity to call me out as if I was responisble for all the misdoings. I get it, I fucked it up, and I am ready to take the responsibility for my part, but you aren't that innocent either, so be a man and take the fucking responisbility too. This performance made me actually question his personality and actions, even the one I helped him with, and that was setting Lucas up with somebody. I truly regret doing this now because that is exactly what I accuse Euphelia of doing with Eugene the whole time, and by helping Ethan, I might seem like a total hypocrite now, which sucks."

Freya: "I mean there are still people I get along with, namely Iris, Kiki, Eugene and Lucas, but I can't really talk with them about my unhappiness and my insecurites because I have to assume now that one of them might be the assassin due to the fact that we have too many jerks on this cruise. I-I tend to be a strong woman who can stand up for herself, but by now I don't think I have much more energy left. And if there is more drama and people just stomping on my emotions, I think I might lose control over myself and snap. ALL I WANT IS PEACE, WHAT IS SO HARD ABOUT IT!!!"

Oliver: "I grew up in Sunlit Tides."

Captain Dockhatt: "Really, huh? Me wouldn't say that ye're from there, ya're pale as a sheet, matey."

Oliver: "... I've never been the outdoorsy type."

Captain Dockhatt: "... Egh, never mind. Me gots some bad memories on Sunlit Tides..."

Oliver: "Oh... What happened?"

Captain Dockhatt: "... I lost me Kweenie for good there..."

Oliver: "Your Kweenie? Did you have a relationship there?"

Captain Dockhatt: "A relationship? No, me matey... me Kweenie was a boat.. Not just any boat, me lad, but a fine one! I met her fer the first time when you were in diapers. And what a sublime vessel she was. Sometimes at night, me still thinks of her, and then I start to feel-..."

Oliver: "Yeah, yeah, okay, I get the picture."

Captain Dockhatt: "Picture, yes..." 

Oliver: "Wait, you lost a picture?"

Captain Dockhatt: "Aye.. after I lost her, all me had was an ol' picture in a golden oyster-shaped locket. Me lost that locket in the seas near Sunlit Tides..."

Oliver: "Hmm... does it have a small pearl shaped hinge keeping both halves together?"

Captain Dockhatt: "Wait, how did ye know that?!"

Oliver: "Oh... Victor, Benjie's partner, actually found a locket matching that description on the sea bottom. But if it's originally yours--"

Captain Dockhatt: "Ye'd make an old sea dog happy again!"

Oliver: "If Benjie packed it for the show it might still be here somewhere."

Captain Dockhatt: "Thank ye so very very much, young man! It's- It's...-"

Oliver: "Are you actually crying now?"

Captain Dockhatt: "Nah, me's not crying, landlubber."

Captain Dockhatt: "Just.. ate a Fisherman's Friend on the loo."

Oliver: "That's kinda gross..."

Euphelia: "......."

Eugene: "... Phia?..."

Euphelia: ".... I'm sorry... I'd rather not have people at my place when I'm not there..."

Eugene: "..."

Wendell: "Welp, that was it for me buddy. You go and rock the game!"

Lucas: "Yeah... goodbye pal."

Ethan: "..."

Min Hee: "Eugene and Wendell..."

Min Hee: "... It's time for you to go with me and get on your ride back home."

Wendell: "Wait, home? Where Wendi is?"

Min Hee: "... If you're still living with her, then that's a yes."

Wendell: "Sorry, I- I can't go back there anymore."

Min Hee: "You could try and find an alternative."

Wendell: "Before I go I still have something to say."

Rep: "Wait, to me?"

Wendell: "Eh, yes... Now if you excuse me..."

Wendell: "Reperina Amalia Beatrix Carmen Victoria the Reporter."

Rep: "That's not my full name at all, lol, but go on..."

Wendell: "I've been telling myself that there's one thing I absolutely have to do before I depart from the Jetsetter."

Rep: "Okay..."

Wendell: "And, well, we haven't really had contact for the last one and a half year or something, but..."

Wendell: "... Could you please marry me to help me get out of Wendi's clutches?"

Rep: "What?"

Min Hee: "What in the???........."

Euphelia: "... Maybe not."

Odessa: "Still got scars from the last time someone proposed on a cruise."

Meredith: "Anyone got a barf bag?!"

Lucas: "...."

Freya: "Can't unsee this."

Rep: "Lol! Lol lol LOOOOOOOOOL!!!"

Oliver: "This does not compute."

Wendell: "...?"

Rep: "I'm not looking for a relationship, Wendell. But thanks for asking."

Wendell: ".. Oh..."

Rep: "I could help you in other ways though."

Wendell: "... A secret hideout? A hotel or anything?"

Rep: "Nah, not a hotel. Last time reality shows mixed with Monte Vista hotels there was a murder."

Odessa: "I've heard about that, yes. My wannabe stepmum went missing since. Good riddance."

Ethan: "Someone went missing and you're happy about it?"

Meredith: "Knew it! She's fucked up!"

Rep: "I got another plan though..."

Wendell: "Oh, you got me interested."

Rep: "Here, come a little closer..."

Rep: "Pssst pssst psssshht psst pssht..."

Odessa: "Hey, don't go whispering!"

Rep: "Psssssht pssht pssst psssht psst..."

Wendell: "Ahuh..."

Rep: "It's perfect. She'll never find you."

Wendell: "Hahaha, thank you so very much Rep."

Min Hee: "Sooo, it's about time for you to leave Jetset."

Rep: "Mind if I lead those two away? About time I get to do that for once."

Odessa: "Sure, you can have a shot."

Oliver: "This is kinda fishy..."

Rep: "Your brother's kinda fishy, Oliver."

Rep: "You heard Odessa guys. Chop chop!"

Wendell: "Bye guys!"

Eugene: "Goodbye everyone!"

Rep: "Now where's that Ferrari?"

Min Hee: "... Jetsetters. Now that you're only with 8 left, we have an announcement to make. 

Odessa: "The day after tomorrow there will be a special Ranking coming up..."

Min Hee: "This Ranking is the last thing you will do before the duo partner twist is officially disbanded!"

Odessa: "With Wendell just leaving the competition there are seven family lines left."

Min Hee: "That means that seven Sims will survive the next Elimination."

Odessa: "All people who have lost their twin siblings are save in the upcoming Elimination. But, if both of you are still in the game, the Assassin gets to freely choose which one of you will be leaving..."*

Ethan and Lucas: "Shit..."

Odessa: "Good luck and lots of wisdom, Ethan and Lucas."

Ethan: "Welp.. it's you or me Lukington."

Lucas: "Shit..."

Rep: "Well boys, here's where the game ends for you. Got anything you regret on the game?"

Eugene: "Well, the final Ranking obviously. We didn't save ourselves with that, obviously."

Wendell: "We could've saved ourselves with the Challenge. If we only caught Signore X..."

Rep: "Those are some straightforward answers. Got anything else earlier down the run you'd have done differently in hindsight?"

Eugene: "Hmm, do a better job holding back Jerry? What if he stayed long enough to see Frankie leave later that same day?"

Wendell: "I should've done more my best to start a showmance or something. Lucas, maybe Kiki or even Pearl?"

Eugene: "Yeah, kinda sucks that some people tried to set me up with Lucas. I didn't come here looking for love in the first place, and now they'll just know me as the guy who rejected someone."

Rep: "No, you did much more than that Eugene. You worked a lot to maintain the peace on board. I still recall how you tried to step inbetween Jerry and Frankie, and Meredith and Melinda. You're a kind and selfless guy."

Eugene: "... That's true as well. Thanks Rep. I needed that.."

Wendell: "I wonder how things would've played out if they picked me for their matchmaking scheming instead?"

Rep: "We, unfortunately, will never find out. Even though I'm burning with curiousity too."

Wendell: "You're always burning with curiousity, Rep."

Rep: "Can't deny that, lol."

*A car drives by*

Rep: "Welp, I believe that's your luxurious Ferrari to the airport, Eugene."

Eugene: "Yeah... Goodbye Rep, goodbye Wendell. Goodbye Jetset."

Rep: "11th and 12th to leave: Eugene Nightingale and Wendell Ferris."

Rep: "... All's going according to plan."

Wendell: "Perfect. When will we be picked up?"

Rep: "The zeppelin will arrive in a couple of minutes."

Wendell: "Still can barely believe that you actually live in there."

Rep: "I know. Pretty cool huh?"

Wendell: "Yeah. Oh, and Rep?"

Rep: "Yeah?"

Wendell: "Thanks again for helping me make my escape."

End of Episode 12

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

*This plot twist and it's timing was planned before the season began and would happen regardless of the number of players left. If for example, Eugene was matched and Eliminated with Ethan instead of Wendell, every real life player would have 1 Sim left, and there'd be a Ranking without Elimination. If multiple players would have both of their twins left, each of them would lose one. 

Now that it is confirmed that 7 RL-Players are making it to the individual phase of the game, I can confirm that this season is going to be 24 episodes long.

Wishing everyone, especially Ninja, good luck and lots of wisdom.

Ps. Blooper time. >:P

Euphelia: "HOT DIGGETY DOG! Lucas, you're naked!"

Lucas: "... Why are we doing this again?"

Euphelia: "Don't ask me, you wanted me to give you a makeover."

Lucas: "... Fair enough."
