Hallo-weenies



Plot
The episode opens up with Team Boss celebrating their second victory in a row in first class. It's Halloween, and tons of interns in various costumes circle and hand out candy, little costume items, hot apple cider and other celebratory items. Caelan, sitting in a set of chairs with Alex, Catherine and Collin with whom he's sharing a pumpkin pie, officially expands his alliance to include Alex.

 Alex (CONF):  It's honestly pretty concerning I'm only just now hearing about this, but right now I think it's my best play

Caelan feels more confident now, but is well aware that Marisa has an ever-growing alliance of her own. He begins to strategize about how to remain in the game and take out members of the enemy alliance, as the scene transitions to the other set of four chairs. Joseph, Serena, Kalee and Marisa sit there, formulating a plan of their own.

 Joseph (CONF):  Caelan has just got to go, that's the bottom line

Joseph suggests that they take out Collin, Andy and Catherine, leaving Caelan alone and defenseless but still there to help them win challenges.

 Serena (CONF):  I mean it's no secret Caelan is one of the most athletic on our team, he's just also so dangerous

Keeping Catherine out of the equation hoping they could potentially swing her, they decide Andy or Collin could be good targets to go after right away.

Samantha and Trevor sit at the mini-bar, both sipping on drinks of their own.

 Samantha (CONF):  Trevor and I need to figure something out, and fast

Trevor, however, isn't really responding, frustrating Samantha knowing that they need to be strategizing.

In economy class, interns are similarly getting everybody into the holiday spirit. Rachel is sitting with Katie and telling her about how she's going to need to up her strategy in the coming days.

 Rachel (CONF):  It's not secret I'm more in my team's orbit, so I have to make sure my alliances are airtight

Sam sits and laughs with Connor, Aaron and Clayton, Liz and Ashton are deep in conversation and Cooper is reading a horror novel by Stephen King.

Channing is ostentatiously hosting a pumpkin carving contest, with teams split into pairs to compete. Kacvinsky and Cohen laugh as they can't figure out what they want to carve, Becca and Ilan look deep in though on theirs, Matt and Emily are making a soccer ball per Emily's request, Ruchi is just sitting back and letting Myra take the reigns, Nathan and Lizzie are carving a heart (to which a nearby Caroline, who's spectating, gags) and Ian and Brandon work on scooping out the middle. Channing waves over the three Firecrotch guys as the scene pans to the messhall.

At a table by the window Chef serves food, Eugenia talks to Ellie about how they need to make sure the "b's" all stay in the game long enough for them to recombine.

 Ellie (CONF):  With me, Eugenia, Samantha and Becca, kind of including Ilan and Trevor, we could have a pretty good thing going

A few seats down, Evan and Alma bond over feeling like outsiders.

 Alma (CONF):  I'm glad Evan is here, like I'm the only one from my grade aside from the twins and he didn't even go to the same school, so I feel like he gets it

Suddenly, the airhorn comes booming over the intercom system and Chris summons all of the contestants into the messhall. There, he tells them their Halloween special will be taking place right there - on the plane! The first part will require the contestants to create and model a costume, to which him and Chef will judge. Chef pulls a little string and a mess of costume items falls from the ceiling.

He tells them they have fifteen minutes, abruptly yelling "Go!" and prompting the contestants to tear into the pile of costume materials.

A montage shows Samantha using measuring tape on a stretch of purple fabric, Ashton hoarding some glitter, Becca swiping a plastic hook before Eugenia got the chance to grab it, Connor looking stumped at a messy costume, Joseph cutting through fabric with scissors and John smirking when he finds a football helmet.

When Chris yells that time is up, the contestants gather for the "fashion show."

 Nathanael (CONF):  This is stupid

 Channing (CONF):  I was born for this

Kacvinsky is the first to walk out, making his way down the makeshift aisle as a ghost using a sheet with eye-holes cut out. Chris and Chef both laugh and hold up the number four. Caroline is next dressed as a witch, and Chris shrugs and gives her a seven. Aaron's rock star costume earns him a five, JP dressed as a vampire gets him a three, Connor's humorous Britney Spears scores him an eight, Myra's cat costume bags a five and Becca as a nurse locks in a six.

A montage shows John strutting down dressed like a football player, Marisa dressed like a rabbit, Alma dressed like a squash, Nathan dressed as a Playboy Bunny and Ashton dressed as Ke$ha. Then it shows Collin spinning at the end as Ronaldo, Matt as Thomas Jefferson, Emily as Isaac Newton and Alli and Nathanael as Phineas and Ferb. Finally, it ends with Evan strutting back and posing dressed as Elvis, Ilan dressed as a tootsie roll, Liz dressed like Woody from Toy Story, Eugenia dressed as a bumble bee and Alex dressed as Lava Girl.

 Alex (CONF):  Ok wow this challenge is actually a lot of fun...

 Collin (CONF):  This is stupid...

The next shot shows everyone in the audience hysterically laughing, before panning to Channing standing on stage dressed as none other than Chris McLean. He is absolutely flattered, and declares Team Victory the winners of part one. The other two teams don't even look mad, with Channing's costume spot on.

Seconds after Team Victory celebrates their win, the lights flash off.

 Andy (CONF):  Nope, no thanks!

Rachel and Channing grab each other in fear, and Catherine, Collin, Trevor and Marisa duck behind a nearby Caelan. When the lights flash back on, Chris is gone.

Everyone gasps, scared at the revelation, but Liz just rolls her eyes and say it's obviously some sort of trick given it's Halloween and it's Chris that they're dealing with. Everyone nods their head in some sort of agreement, as the screen zooms out from the plane with ominous music playing in the background.

When the camera zooms back in, it lands on JP in the restroom.

 JP (CONF):  *humming and happily peeing when the lights flash off* *fizzle* What...no...this is impossib- *the sound is cut off, the lights flash back on and JP is gone*

Back in the messhall, Catherine wonders aloud where JP is, and wanders off, taking Samantha with her to ensure she has strength in numbers. The two girls cling tightly to one another as they wander the halls, when suddenly the lights black out yet again. Two screams are heard, and when the lights turn back on they're both gone.

Panning back to the main group, the blackout caused two disappearances there too: Channing and Rachel. Caroline tells everyone to calm down, but people are freaking out, with Becca, Ellie and Eugenia clinging tightly to one another, Kacvinsky with his back to the wall, Connor, Sam and John nervously laughing and Matt ducking behind Nathan. Lizzie runs to lock the door to first class, as Sydney and Aaron do the same to block the other doors to some hallways and economy class. There's a general aura of fear and panic in the air, but Caroline tries to reiterate that Chris wouldn't ever do anything to actually put them in harm's way.

 Alma (CONF):  Um girl I don't know what you're talking about - how many times have we been ejected out of this plane? Five?

A thumping is heard at the door to one of the hallways. Suddenly, the panicked grumbling falls silent. Another thump.

Ellie, her voice shaking, asks if they should go look at who is behind that door. Ilan rolls his eyes and says it's probably Chris. When he opens it, he immediately slams it shut and scurries back, stuttering as he yells "Bailey." Myra, Ruchi and Alli begin to search, until the latter tells Ilan Bailey was eliminated in the Redwood forest. Serena asks Ilan what he meant, and Ilan, looking scared, points at the door, where Bailey's zombified head begins poking through.

 Lizzie (CONF):  Now that's frightening

Everyone screams, and in a panic Caelan is shoved toward Bailey, people scrambling to put anything between them and her. Caelan is grabbed, and pulled through by multiple other hands.

Then the scene switches to Chris, sitting in a control room with Caelan, Samantha, Catherine, Rachel and Channing. He reveals that the zombies are really just the eliminated contestants and a lot of interns with loads of zombie make up. Catherine asks where JP is, stating he had to have been caught as well as he's not on any of the security footage. Chris, worried, says to ignore it, but secretly radios to Chef to search for him.

Back at the mess hall, Connor, Aaron, Kacvinsky, and Ruchi are trying to hold the door shut as zombies are trying to make it through. Marisa, Kalee, Myra, John and many of the other contestants are trying to ensure there is no other way the zombies could get in. Myra asks where Becca is, and a quick scan reveals she's disappeared as well.

 Brandon (CONF):  How the hell could anyone be getting in and out of this room without us noticing?

At the control room, Chris is shown trying to figure out where JP went. Rachel mentions now Becca has also vanished and doesn't seem to be on her way to the control room, and Chris's worried look intensifies. Samantha awkwardly chuckles, asking if this is one of Chris's tactics to really scare them, and Chris nervously replies that she's correct.

Suddenly, the strength of the zombies become too much and the door busts open. A montage shows Caroline, Nathan and Cooper ducking around zombies, as they dart toward the door to first class. In the madness, Andy trips and is pulled away by a zombified Justin, Anna and Chase, cursing the entire time. Aaron turns to dive after him, but is soon nearly trampled by a zombified Cassy, also pulled away into the darkness.

Upon entering first class, Evan and Clayton immediately shut and lock the door behind them, but the zombie hoard immediately begins pounding on it. Those left run and dive behind the mini-bar, the thumping against the door the only sound perforating the silence.

 Ian (CONF):  And this right here is why I hate horror movies

The thumping continues, when a hand reaches over and grabs Eugenia by her antenna. By the time Collin and Cohen shoot up to see what happened, she's already vanished. Trevor and Matt dive over to see if they can find her, but both are pulled away by a hook. Sydney and Ashton shoot up too to see if they can see any zombies pulling their friends away, but their scouting proves unsuccessful.

The zombies bust down the door, prompting the contestants to scatter again. In the chaos, Evan and Liz are dragged away kicking and screaming by the zombie hoard.

As Evan and Liz are thrown into the control room, Aaron asks where Matt and Trevor went. Chris hushes him, saying he has it handled, but the other contestants don't look convinced.

A montage shows the contestants scatter in groups down hallways. Ian and Kacvinsky are hand-in-hand out of terror, leading Marisa, Alma, Nathanael and Alli down a narrow path, Lizzie, Sydney, Collin and Cohen are huddled in the bathroom confessional, Nathan, Caroline, Katie and Alex circled back to hide in the messhall and Ilan, Kalee, Sam, Serena and Joseph wander toward the cargo hold.

Suddenly, the lights in the jumbo jet keep flickering on and off uncontrollably. In the control room, Samantha asks what the hell is going on, but Chris says he's doing that on purpose. Evan questions how he's doing that without touching the control panel, but Chris lets out another hush to which Evan rolls his eyes.

In the frantic and erratic light show, more contestants begin to vanish. Clayton disappears alone in economy class, Myra from a hallway, Alex from the messhall and Joseph from the group wandering toward the cargo hold.

 Kacvinsky (CONF):  This is literally my worst nightmare

Collin and Cohen fight to keep the door shut from the zombies on the other side, Marisa is frantically opening doors looking for somewhere to hide, and Ashton nearly punches Emily after the two accidentally run into one another.

A zombie intern grabs John.

 John (CONF):  *shaking* This is traumatizing

A zombie Anna grabs Marisa.

 Marisa (CONF):  What the hell is going on right now

Connor and Ellie go missing from one of the restrooms.

But no confessional.

The doors to different compartments begin slamming up and down, the first of which causes Ashton to scream and Emily to hide behind Ian, having met up with their group.

In the chaos, everyone convenes in the hallway to the cargo hold, with Sam leaning against the door. Once the group of remaining contestants gathers around the door, they bust in, nervous to what they're going to find on the other side. Unlike the chaos in the rest of the jet, the room is almost eerily quiet, the banging and light-show fading into the background. The contestants spread out into the room, and Sam thinks he hears something behind a stack of crates. He calls Cohen and Ruchi over, and the three shove aside the crates to reveal a tied up Becca, Trevor, Matt, Ellie and JP. From the other corner, Sydney announces she found Clayton, Myra, Connor Alex and Joseph, a scared Collin and Caroline standing behind her.

Katie tells everyone to chill, saying this is still probably Chris's doing and it's part of the Halloween challenge, when a revved chainsaw is heard. From behind a stack of barrels, a chainsaw appears, prompting Serena to scream and Sam to pass out.

 Emily (CONF):  We are legit gonna die, right here on this plane

In the control room, Aaron and Marisa are telling Chris he really did a good job of making this challenge scary. Chris nervously nods his head, thanking them for the compliment.

Back in the cargo hold, a dark figure emerges from behind the barrel. Instead of a left hand, there's a pirates hook, and the right hand wields a giant chainsaw. His face looks demented, an demonic smile revealing nearly rotted teeth. He's about to open his mouth when Lizzie screams, freaking out Ian who runs up and nails the killer in the face. As he stumbles backward, Cooper dives beneath him, prompting him to trip, and Caroline and Kacvinsky push open the door to the cargo hold. Cohen straps a parachute on his back, and Nathan and Lizzie shove him out of the plane.

The contestants cheer, as the lights turn on and Chris walks in with the other eliminated contestants behind him.

 Trevor (CONF):  Ok that was seriously fucked up

Chris weakly congratulates Team Victory for winning what "clearly" was the second part of the challenge - escaping the zombie hoard and defeating the actor playing a deranged psycho-killer. Liz begins to ask why Chris seemed panicked about the other contestants disappearance, when Chris shoots her a dirty look. He does a headcount, and reveals Team Boss has the lowest percentage of contestants still in the challenge, with only Collin, Alex, Alli, Kalee and Serena still in, and hence will be going to the barfbag ceremony that night.

At dinner, there's heaps of candy in the center of every table. Cooper asks Chef where the real food is, earning himself a growl.

Kalee, Serena, Marisa, Joseph, Alli, Nathanael, Trevor and Samantha sit together and discuss the pros and cons of eliminating people from Caelan's alliance. Serena says the easy vote is Collin - less helpful than Andy in challenges, and also will always have Cohen as his #1 ally despite what any of the rest of them do.

 Serena (CONF):  I mean come on, it makes the most sense...

Trevor looks deeply uncomfortable with that idea, the twins being some of his closest friends, but Serena shrugs and says numbers will only dwindle from here.

Caelan, Collin, John, JP, Andy, Catherine and Alex sit a few tables over, dejectedly poking at their candy. Caelan stands up, saying he doesn't understand why they're just giving up.

 Caelan (CONF):  Now that I've got my team where I want them...

He says all he has to do is win over Samantha and Trevor, which should be easy, and they'll have the votes to take out Marisa. Eliminate Marisa, and that alliance immediately disbands. People seem more enthusiastic about the plan, and Collin goes over to talk to Trevor while Caelan plans on talking to Samantha himself. A side-by-side split screen shows the two pairs talking, when Chris announces over the intercom that it's time.

--

At the elimination ceremony, Chris looks a little shaken up from the day's events, much to everyone's suspicion. He welcomes Team Boss to their second barfbag ceremony, and tells them they know the drill and that it's time to vote.

 Catherine (CONF):  It's just the game, you know I like you girl *stamps Marisa's passport*

 Collin (CONF):  I barely know you so...this isn't really hard for me *stamps Marisa's passport*

 Marisa (CONF):  Serena is right, this pairing is dangerous *stamps Collin's passport*

 Joseph (CONF):  Ok this vote is huge, will we stay eight-strong? *stamps Collin's passport*

 John (CONF):  Sorry girl *stamps Marisa's passport*

 Trevor (CONF):  *holding up two passports and groaning*

Chris returns with a plate filled with barfbags. Fourteen are on the plate, and thirteen will live to see another day. He hands the first barfbag to...

Caelan.

He proudly walks up, scoffing at his team and anxious for things to finally go his way.

Catherine. JP. Joseph. Alex.

One by one they catch their bags, smiling as they do.

Samantha. Kalee. John. Nathanael. Andy.

More smiling, more catching.

Alli. Serena. Trevor.

Alli and Serena hug, but Trevor can't look up from his lap. That leaves Marisa and

At the elimination ceremony, the barf bags go to Caelan, Catherine, JP, Joseph, Alex, Jen, Kalee, John, Nathanael, Andy, Alli, Serena and Elizabeth. The bottom two are Marisa and McGrath, and the last barfbag goes to...

Marisa.

Collin looks absolutely shocked. He didn't realize his name was even up, and he lashes out as his team asking why they chose him. Serena calmly responds that having him and Cohen both in the game was too dangerous. He hangs his head and hugs Trevor, who whispers an "I'm sorry bro" in his ear. Collin waves goodbye, before strapping on a parachute and jumping out the Drop of Shame.

 Collin (CONF):  Dude, I knew people would see me and Cohen as a threat but...eighth? Of fifty-fucking-one? This blows so hard

Chris tells them to buckle up, as it will only get harder from here.

[PARTY].

At the end of the night, Chef walks up to Chris and congratulates him on the ingenuity of the psycho-killer twist at the end. Chris nervously chuckles, prompting a confused look from Chef. A few seconds of silence pass, before Chris blurts out that the killer wasn't planned, and he thinks people actually could have gotten hurt that challenge. Chef looks horrified, as the camera zooms out of the jumbo jet soaring through the night and the scene fades to black.
