Gone to Carolina in my Mind

Plot
As the sun rises over Wawanakwa, the camera shows a wide-shot of the island. It looks serene bathed in the dawn light.

It then zooms into the luxury cabin, where Abbey and Rourke sip coffee in front of the fireplace. They both are in robes, intermittently looking out the floor-to-ceiling windows at the gorgeous island that’s tortured them for a shocking one hundred and four days. A little over three months.

 Abbey (CONF):  This is it…the final five

Rourke says one of them has to win immunity, because with Ranjitha’s voting history they can’t assume she’ll keep voting with them moving forward.

 Rourke (CONF):  I still think Alex and Nico are WAY bigger threats than Abbey, but I wouldn’t put it past Ranjitha to flip it back on one of us

Abbey asks who they should target, and a silence falls between the two of them, knowing the answer.

 Abbey (CONF): …look, I love Alex, but he is too big of a threat to take to the final

The scene pans over to the dining hall, where Alex and Nico eat breakfast. At first, they’re similarly in silence.

 Nico (CONF):  Dude…if Ranjitha is with Rourke and Abbey now then this is it…whichever one of us doesn't win immunity is done

Eventually Alex breaks the silence, saying it feels pretty obvious at this point but Rourke has to be the target at the next elimination ceremony. Nico agrees, saying he’s too big of a social threat to have at any kind of jury vote. As they discuss, Ranjitha walks in, prompting the two to return to the earlier silence.

 Ranjitha (CONF):  Ok look, I had to make the hard decision and a huge threat is gone now

*flashback to Rourke and Beyla side-by-side, sweating as they attempt to build a fire big enough to snap the rope in the sudden death challenge after the tie*

 Ranjitha (CONF):  You can’t be mad at me for playing the game

She joins them, and apologizes for how the elimination went down. She says she shouldn’t have kept them in the dark. After a few moments of silence, Nico asks what her next move is. She tells him she’ll be honest, and hasn’t figured it out yet.

 Alex (CONF):  Ranjitha, I love you girl, but I think it’s time we try and turn the tables

When she gets up to go to the washroom, Alex tells Nico he may have an idea that could keep them in the game - seeing if Abbey and Rourke will team up with them and blindside Ranjitha. Nico nods along, but does note that'd be risky.

Suddenly, Chris’s airhorn echoes through the camp speakers, projecting Chris’s call to collect the competitors to the whole island. They gather at the space between the cabins, and see Chris and Chef standing with a giant TV screen. Chris says it’s time for the final tribute to those fallen competitors. "Carolina in my Mind" by James Taylor begins to play.

 Alex (CONF):  *tearing up* Fuck

A montage shows Helina laughing as Nicholas wildly twerks upon his arrival, Townes using crutches through the obstacle course, Duncan dance-battling Beyla in Tokyo, Vani zooming through the swamp in New Orleans on the airboat, Colby running through the train with Alex, Clayton shocked after the eliminated contestants vote, Annie running up the rock in Gibraltar and finally Beyla competing in Knot So Fast, a gorgeous view of the falls behind her.

 Rourke (CONF):  *crying* Damn it Chris

As Carolina in my Mind fades out, he tells them the song wasn’t just another opportunity for him to make them cry.

 Abbey (CONF):  *wiping away tears* I’ve said it once and I’ll say it again, Chris is a sadist

But that this is it. The road to the final starts right now.

 Ranjitha (CONF):  Wait what?

He says that unlike last season, four contestants will be competing in the final, as opposed to three. Alex and Nico hug and jump up and down, as Abbey throws her hands on her head and Rourke scoops Ranjitha into a huge hug. Chris says not to celebrate quite yet, because one of them will be tragically eliminated right on the doorstep of the hardest final anyone could possibly imagine. Abbey asks him what this has to do with the song, and an annoyed Chris says he’s getting to that part. He says it’s time to say goodbye to Wawanakwa, because the last challenge before the final will be taking place at UNC-Chapel Hill back in North Carolina.

The contestants flip out again. Chris says they’ll give the island a tribute. Chef motions for the contestants to follow him and they do. It starts by them climbing up to the top of the cliff, where their adventure began.

*flashback to Alex running over the side and diving, followed by a montage of Erica diving, Zach doing a cannonball, Mary’s limbs spread out, Brian screaming, Ranjitha cheering, Kathryn yelling “yeehaw”, Paige yelling “oh god” and Phillippa loudly cursing*

 Nico (CONF):  We’ve made so many memories on this damn cliff

*flashback to Alex and Colby, Yuri and Morgan, Erica and Duncan and Gianna and Dan shooting down the cliff on greased up sleds during the X-games, the drivers blindfolded and nervously leaning at the beckon of their partners*

 Abbey (CONF):  I’m weirdly going to miss the cliff?

*flashback to Garrett and Ani lugging a mattress up the cliff during the “Would you Rather?” challenge, the latter stopping to catch her breath*

Chef silently leads them back down, the other contestants shocked Chef isn’t yelling or grumpily complaining.

Chef (CONF): *holding back tears* No I’m not gonna miss these stupid kids…*some tears begin to slip*

Next they canoe out to Boney Island, another location that’s put them through the ringer.

*flashback to the sixty-three contestants rising into the arena for the Thirsty Games, followed by Townes hitting Zach with a net gun and Ranjitha eliminating him with a foam mace and Clay sniping Wilson with a blowtube*

They wander around, using the time to look at the beautiful wildlife on their second island. Nico gazes up at the trees, seeing birds chirping and squirrels scurrying along the branches.

*flashback to Frances dropping Clayton’s log during the tribute challenge, followed by Helina lugging the Fiona log and Izzy bright red as she hauls the Chloe one*

Once they complete their circle, they canoe back. Alex and Nico share a canoe as do Rourke, Abbey and Ranjitha. Chef takes point on his own. Their next stop is the mines. He lights a torch and the five follow.

*flashback to Wilson loudly accusing Sammi of breaking the flashlight after Team Booty dropped into the mines during their overnight scavenger hunt, with Kirk pulling out a little glow-in-the-dark keychain and Sofia pulling out a spare in response*

 Alex (CONF):  Yeah 100% not going to miss these scary mines

*flashback to Ranjitha and Celeste holding hands at they navigate the dark tunnels, with Helina jumping into Nicholas’s arms when she sees a bat, Beyla and Joey looking lost, Duncan and TJ feeling along the walls and Abbey and Clare moving extremely slowly*

Once they exit the other side, they wander through the woods on their way back toward the cabins. The trees tower above them, and the strange Wawanakwa wildlife is about, a one-eyed raccoon resting in a nearby tree and Sasquatchanakwa sneaking in the bushes.

*flashback to Ranjitha and Townes boosting Sofia over the wall during Chef’s crazy obstacle course in the woods in his bootcamp, followed by Alex, Sammi and Matt swinging over the mud pit, Mary, Miller and Garrett jumping off the wooden structure into the freezing water, Kirsten stuck in the mud pit and Beyla and Rice collapsing*

They think about all those random challenges that took place in these very woods...

*flashback to Kirk, Sofia, Mary and Paige clapping along to the mariachi band while standing on the crates during the "Delirious" challenge*

...and turn onto the beach, home to many more adventures.

*flashback to Morgan hurling a dodgeball at Eli in the glass structure set up on the beach for the dodgeball challenge, with Sibu and Frances successfully hitting Suzanne and Rourke and Beyla taking out Gianna then catching Miller’s ball to win the challenge for Glory*

 Ranjitha (CONF):  We’ve gone through so much…to go home at this point *shakes her head* I can’t even imagine

*flashback to smoking wreckage from the boat race, the camera panning out to show Abbey and Rourke lying there charred and exhausted*

 Rourke (CONF):  Ok but more than the challenges, some of the parties on the beach were just unreal

*flashback to Annie, Ryan, Kelsey, Suzanne, Lauren and Clayton locked in a volleyball match against Dani, Colby, Matt, Ani, Garrett and Hailey at the party after the bootcamp*

 Alex (CONF):  Those parties though

*flashback to Alex, Henry, Bella, Cameron, Clare, Annie and Ranjitha running into the water with boogie boards at the party with the loved ones, followed by Rourke and Allie chasing Nico with the super-soaker filled with vodka and Colby and Beth running into the water to escape*

Their beach walk ends at the campfire ceremony, where they both had challenges…

*flashback to an exhausted Miller, Suzanne, Eli and Yuri competing in the end of the Awake-a-thon during the season one tribute, fighting to stay awake during Chef's reading of the phone book*

…and seen many of their friends eliminated.

*flashback to Connor’s shocked face after not receiving the last marshmallow, followed by Erica walking down the dock, Hank sadly boarding the Boat of Losers and it pulling Sibu into the distance*

They go through the messhall, home to many disgusting meals that technically kept them alive but didn’t do much more.

*flashback to Frances sitting at a table with Sibu, Annie, Gianna and Dan, campaigning to eliminate Yunah after the voice battles*

 Nico (CONF):  I think Chef’s food has made me lose like thirty pounds…but there are some other good memories here

*flashback to the glow-stick rave after Team Friendship’s dissolution, with Annie, Nick, Ranjitha and Colby putting glow-paint on their faces, Izzy doing the running man, Townes and Myra taking a shot together and Hailey dancing wildly with Grant and Kathryn*

And went through the luxury cabin.

*flashback to Kathryn, Zach, Alex and Clay lying in the comfortable beds after their first ever win, discussing a CK alliance*

 Nico (CONF):  I can’t believe we’re saying goodbye to this place…it’s felt like forever

*flashback to Alex, Gabe, Adina, Meg and Clayton pouring themselves sangria on the front porch, next to Hunter and Andrew chanting people’s names to encourage keg stands*

They walk through the rooms, all beautifully decorated with floor-to-ceiling windows that have a beautiful view of the surrounding woods. They wander through the main room, seeing the fireplace where many a late-night discussion was had and the long table that housed many meals. They went through the gym, through the kitchen, through the bedrooms, really taking it all in.

 Ranjitha (CONF):  Wow, really makes you forget when this place tried to kill us

*flashback to Dani bringing Hailey into the bathroom during the scavenger hunt, and both girls seeing a demonic woman in the mirror that kidnaps them*

It ends at the regular cabins, and by the end of the tribute, the contestants all look sad.

 Alex (CONF):  This has just been such an unreal adventure…I don’t want it to end

Chris tells them enough of the boo-hoos, because it’s time for the challenge. The scene drastically shifts to everyone in their same spot but now standing outside the Old Well, the symbolic centerpiece of the university they all attended. They look around at the Upper Quad, a beautiful day with students milling about. There is a lot of excitement, the university having risen in fame thanks to the wild success of the show. Students try to pretend they aren’t lingering, dying to hear Chris give his classic smackdowns or Chef yell something absurd, but Chris scoffs at their transparent attempts.

Chris says for today’s challenge, they better remember this competition extremely well, because it’s finals week.

 Abbey (CONF):  *groaning* Chris don’t even joke about finals

He says that they’ll be taking a “final exam” of the competition. It will ask them tons of questions, ranging from elimination details, to challenge memories, to destinations, to gossip. Whoever gets the highest score wins individual immunity and guarantees their spot in the final. The rest will be taking place in the last traditional elimination ceremony of the season.

The contestants eye each other nervously.

 Ranjitha (CONF):  Mama has got this

 Rourke (CONF):  Thank god it’s not another physical beat-down I mean are we going to forget they pitted me again Nico in fucking Hall Brawl?

*flashback to Nico steamrolling through Rourke and ringing the bell during the first round of Hall Brawl*

Chris brings the contestants to the eighth floor of Davis Library.

 Ranjitha (CONF):  This feels fitting

At five separate tables are copies of the test. Five packets of paper that will determine their fate. They each take a seat, and Chris tells them they’ll have an hour to complete it. He yells “Go!”, prompting someone nearby to shush him.

Immediately, the contestants tear into the test. Alex sees the first question.

Q1: Who was the eleventh person voted out of the game
 * a) Hailey
 * b) Cleo
 * c) Karthik
 * d) Patrick

 Alex (CONF):  Fuck…it’s definitely Karthik or Cleo but I can’t remember which

*flashback to Cleo being scooped up into a sack by Chef and carried off into the distance*

A montage shows Ranjitha nervously chewing on her pencil, staring at “Q5: What country is Victoria Falls in?”, Abbey staring out the window while she thinks, Rourke scribble “North America” in response to “Q3: What continent was visited the most in the competition”, Alex sweating and Nico trying to write down as much as the elimination order as he can remember on the back of his, knowing it will come in handy later.

Abbey stares at the next question.

Q9: Who was voted out in Bora Bora?
 * a) Nick 
 * b) Sam
 * c) Frances
 * d) Brian

 Abbey (CONF):  Ok this is when I was at Playa des Losers, but I think I remember Nick complaining he was sunburnt when he got there?

*flashback to Nick building a marble track as part of the sixth hut's escape room in Bora Bora*

Nico puts his pencil behind his ear as he stares at his next question.

Q11: What team won the tribute to Survivor?
 * a) Team Booty
 * b) Team Friendship
 * c) Team Waka
 * d) Team Glory

 Nico (CONF):  I don’t think Team Friendship existed during this challenge and I know that I didn’t win…

*flashback to Helina and Wilson frantically shifting pieces of their puzzle around, completing it first and throwing their hands in the air to call Chris over*

Alex eyes the big digital clock next to Chris, “48:03” staring back at him.

Q15: Who was Grant’s partner during the Chris Cruise?
 * a) Kelsey
 * b) Erica 
 * c) Mahmoud
 * d) Dani

 Alex (CONF):  Ok I actually remember this one because I remember that being super weird

*flashback to Grant and Dani running around the track, handcuffed together, with Dani trying to keep an exhausted Grant motivated*

Ranjitha fiddles with her paper.

Q18: Name the first six destinations, in order

 Ranjitha (CONF):  Our first destination was definitely Hawaii because it was lit, then I think…somewhere in Ireland?

Rourke nervously eyes the other contestants, hoping they don’t remember as much as he does.

Q24: What veteran appeared while the contestants were in Thailand?
 * a) David
 * b) Evan
 * c) Connor
 * d) Ellie

 Rourke (CONF):  Fuck…I barely remember any of the veterans names, let alone when they came

*flashback to Ellie partnered up with Myra in a game of beer pong against Lauren and Ryan in the temple after the challenge*

Another montage shows Ranjitha going back and double checking an answer, Nico flipping back to his elimination order to check something, Rourke putting his pencil down and putting his hands through his hair out of stress, Alex with his head in his hands thinking and Abbey’s leg bouncing up and down.

Q31: Where was Ranjitha's key in the reverse treasure hunt?

 Nico (CONF):  I know this has something to do with Kelsey

Q40: Who was Duncan's partner in the hot air balloon in Cappadocia?

 Alex (CONF):  Rourke? No...Beyla maybe?

Ranjitha is the first to flip to the final page.

Q50: Name every eliminated contestant in order – you will get one point for every correct answer

Nico reaches it next and grins.

 Nico (CONF):  I knew writing it down would pay off, now let’s just hope I’m right

*flashback to Karthik putting on a parachute after his name wasn’t called in the elimination ceremony*

Alex reaches it next, and begins writing down everyone’s names to visualize them.

*flashback to Hailey barging her way through an extremely crowded Times Square*

Rourke is next, nervous since only eleven minutes are on the clock now.

*flashback to Matt hanging his head as he walks down the Dock of Shame*

And finally Abbey, realizing she’s behind, reaches the end. She looks frenetic, something the other contestants notice.

*flashback to Archer getting brain freeze in the "No Pain, No Game" challenge*

Suddenly, Chris yells “Time!” earning him another shush. Chef comes and collects their papers. Chris says they have the day to explore Chapel Hill, and to meet him back at the Old Well at sunset for the results.

The contestants spend the time immediately after comparing answers. Nico curses when Alex tells him that Paige was eliminated after Izzy not before and Abbey asks Rourke what gross food Team Friendship chose when they went to Norway.

 Abbey (CONF):  Ok even though I lived through most of those experiences, that was hard as fuck

They wander around campus, reminiscing. A montage shows Alex laughing with Nico as they read “Marlon Bundo” in the student stores, Rourke facing off against Abbey in a game of giant chess in the bottom of the union, Ranjitha blasting music through her phone in the dance studio with Abbey, Rourke, Alex and Nico jumping around and dancing in the background, and the five lying out on the quad, the students bustling around them.

Occasionally, people stop them to say hi or ask about the game.

 Ranjitha (CONF):  *dramatically throwing her arm on her head* It’s so hard being famous

Another montage shows Ranjitha and Alex excitedly run up the stairs of Morrison, Rourke and Abbey walking through SASB on their way to the Dean Dome, Nico kicking around a soccer ball on E-Haus fields and the five reuniting in Kenan Stadium.

As the sun begins to set, they walk up to the Old Well, Chris and Chef fending off student fans. Chris tells them the results are in, and that two contestants were above and beyond, only one point separating their score.

 Rourke (CONF):  If I lose by one point and get voted off I will never forgive myself

Chris says it came down to Rourke and Alex.

 Alex (CONF):  Fuck

With the final individual immunity of the game going to…

Rourke, with a 88.

Alex sighs but hugs Rourke.

 Alex (CONF):  Fuck

Rourke wildly runs around in disbelief.

 Rourke (CONF):  I’m going to the fucking FINAL *cheers then stops and has a realization* wait shit I’m going to the final

Chris tells them before the elimination ceremony, he is going to treat them to an extremely nice dinner.

 Abbey (CONF):  411 West?

 Ranjitha (CONF):  Mama is getting Topo

And hands them each a voucher for the top of Lenoir Dining Hall.

 Rourke (CONF):  I hate him

They ride the escalator up. Alex sits with Nico, the two discussing their options.

 Nico (CONF):  So taking out Abbey is the obvious move…but maybe not the right one

They weigh the pros and cons of the decision, as the scene pans to Rourke and Abbey on the other side. At first there’s silence, but Abbey breaks it asking if Rourke is sure. Rourke nods, saying he’s 100% sure. Abbey agrees.

 Abbey (CONF):  Now is the time, I mean come on he won the first season

Ranjitha sits alone, knowing what the choice is going to bubble down to. She thinks about the pros and cons of each. After thinking hard, she finally comes to a decision but before she can tell anyone Chris gets on the speakers and summons the contestants to the Old Well for the elimination ceremony.

~*ELIMINATION CEREMONY*~

Chris holds a plate with four rocks on it, each one having “FINAL” written on it in bold black letters. Chris tells them this is it – four will be moving to the final, and one person’s journey will tragically end. He says it’s time to vote.

 Rourke (CONF):  I’m so sorry…it has to be this way

 Alex (CONF):  But can we really trust them?

 Ranjitha (CONF):  *sitting in silence* Well…it’s time

When Abbey returns, the last to vote, Chris reads the votes, gasping. He eyes the contestants then goes back to the votes, gasping more.

 Nico (CONF):  *rolling his eyes*

Chris says it’s time for the results. The first “FINAL” rock goes to the winner of the coveted immunity –

Rourke.

He takes a heavy sigh, ecstatic he is safe.

Chris draws out a silence before calling the next name.

Nico.

Nico throws his hands on his head in disbelief. He clenches his fist in victory, then catches the rock. Another long silence and Chris calls the next name out...

...

...

...

...

...

...

...

...

...

...

...

...

...

...

...

...

Ranjitha.

She exhales a heavy sigh as well, throwing her hands in the air. Nico and Alex lock eyes and nod, hoping they made the right decision. That leaves Abbey and Alex as the bottom two, with the last “FINAL” rock going to…

Abbey.

Alex stares at the ground.

 Alex (CONF):  *tearing up* Fuck...

No one is sure how to react. Alex wipes away tears, when Nico comes over and puts a hand on his back. They embrace. One-by-one, the others come and embrace him. First Abbey and then Rourke. Ranjitha is hesitant, worried he’ll be upset.

 Ranjitha (CONF):  It was the only move I could make at this point if I wanted any shot at winning

But he smiles, congratulating her for playing a good game. They hug, and Alex motions for the others to join. The five hug for a while, with Chris interrupting saying that’s enough of that. He tells them there’s no “Dock” or “Walk” of shame, but for all five to go to this address. He hands them a note.

"102 McMasters St. - Welcome to the Nest*

 Alex (CONF):  This was a wild ride and I’m so thankful…I’m bummed I won’t be running in the final, but I can’t say I have any regrets, I have made the best memories of my life in these last three months

The contestants grin, knowing that’s Alex’s old house so who knows what wild shenanigans are going to ensue. The five get there and it’s empty but clearly set up for a party. Tables lined with red solo cups sit on the upper balcony. Colorful lights weave in and out through the railings. The “disco lights” are already playing, the loud speaker resting right next to them silently. There’s also a giant bin for PJ and the materials to make it resting on the counter in the kitchen.

The five partake in “the pour”, a tradition of the house. Alex, Abbey and Nico grab handles and Rourke and Ranjitha grab the lemonade and sprite bottles. On three they pour and laugh, Alex’s tears from elimination finally drying up.

 Alex (CONF):  Only one thing left to do I guess…let’s fucking get it

Suddenly, “Kill the Lights” begins blasting over the speakers. The five are startled at first, Ranjitha nearly pouring lemonade onto Nico, before Abbey points out the front door window. A shadowy mob of people is charging the house, getting the five antsy with excitement. As the mob gets closer, they see it's led by Helina, Nick Rice and Yunah. The five flip out as the other fifty-nine eliminated contestants come rushing in and tackle them.

 Abbey (CONF):  *in the confessional with Colby* Oh my god…that was just potentially the best moment of my entire life

Once the reuniting is over, the contestants jam to Kill the Lights, going absolutely wild. Helina is dropping it on Rourke, Abbey and Annie are tightly hugging then break into Annie's signature Charlie Brown dance, Erica, Chloe, Mahmoud and Kelsey take shots in the background and Alex, Duncan, Beyla, Rice and Nick go absolutely wild in the middle.

 Nick (CONF):  Shit is about to get real weird

Immediately a crowd rushes upstairs to play another game of the infamous "Red Rover" flip cup. Leigh, Sofia, Zack, Mary, Dani, Sierra and Matt take one side against Nico, Beyla, Gianna, Frances, Hank, Zach and Sibu, a CK class war. Duncan, Rice and Abbey also run up, wildly cheering them on then jumping in when Alex joins too and evens up the score. As Alex and the other seniors yell "red rover, red rover, send Sibu right over, the scene pans downstairs.

 Sibu (CONF):  *tearing up* I can't believe this experience is about to end like y'all I'm tryna get season three funded who's with me

On the front yard right outside the house, Helina is on one side linking arms with Nick, Morgan, Yunah, Yuri and Fiona. On the other side is Cleo, Duma, Suzanne, Connor, Rourke and Paige. Phillippa and Izzy come out and Phillippa asks what they're doing, but before she's answered, Helina's side screams in unison "send PAIGE right over," with Phillippa realizing they're playing an actual game of Red Rover.

 Phillippa (CONF):  *cracking up* These people are absolutely wild

The two girls excitedly join, as the camera pans through the inside, with Colby drunkenly telling Annie how much he loves her, Eli, Wilson and Garrett excitedly chatting by the PJ, Patrick playing "Kario Mart" with Yunah, Archer and Grant, Chloe, Kelsey, Sammi, Erica and Mahmoud wildly dancing in a circle and Kathryn taking shots with Clay and Hailey at the counter.

Downstairs, it's revealed there's kegs and the outdoor gravel parking area has a fire going in the fire pit. The music from above is still projecting down there loud and clear, so Kirk, Miller and Graham wildly dance. Myra and Sam face off in an outdoor game of "Civil War" on one of the tables against Ryan and Lauren, next to Vani and Brian playing chesties against Ani and Townes.

Ranjitha is also downstairs, taking shots and enjoying herself.

 Ranjitha (CONF):  Ok look this is fun and all but...I can't stop thinking about that final

 Brian (CONF):  Yeah should Ranjitha really be partying right now...

Great song plays after great song, with Colby, Alex, Nick, Rourke, Ryan, Yunah, Frances and Izzy forming a "Gay Club" when Love and War plays, Yuri sceam-sings Mr. Brightside with Helina, Phillippa, Sierra, Connor and Mary, Gianna and Hank dance-off to Once Upon a Time and Myra looks embarrassed as Alex, Sibu, Ani, Kelsey, Dani and Graham dance along to Betcha Can't.

Eventually, the party mobilizes to Franklin St., with Chris informing everyone they have to stay together.

 Yunah and Connor (CONF):  We don't "have" to *burps* stay together *burps again then pauses*...where are we?

A montage follows of them tearing up Franklin St. Everyone cheers as Kelsey does one of those snort shots at Linda's.

 Kelsey (CONF):  Look, if we're going to start out somewhere as boring as Linda's, might as well snort something

People are tearing up the dance floor at the Strowd, with Sibu, Gianna, Hank, Chloe and Townes jumping into the middle of the circle and showing off their best dance moves.

Alex, Nick, Zach, Sammi, Clay and Kathryn gag as they take a "Pickle Back" shot together at Goodfellow's, Helina lies and tells the Topo bartender it's Yuri's birthday to get him one of those gross dairy shots, and everyone yells "Chug! Chug! Chug!" as Colby, then Kirk, then Annie, then Miller, then Abbey race to down He's Not cups (Abbey's cider of course).

At Might As Well, Myra gets wild on the stage, prompting everyone to cheer. Beyla runs up and is hyping her up, with Frances joining and the three girls getting wild.

 Frances (CONF):  It's always so weird when a chapter of your life ends...like even Playa Des Losers was a blast

A second montage shows Cleo and Izzy, Wilson and Ani, Ranjitha and Rourke and Grant and Erica swing-dancing on the porch at Bob's, everyone wildly cheer when Eli successfully lands the ring on the little hook in La Rez and Paige, Chloe and Rice hijacking the DJ booth at Country Fried Duck, jokingly playing Party Rock Anthem to which Leigh, Sofia and Duma get wild to. Morgan also mockingly gets wild too, prompting a nearby Dani and Connor to crack up.

PARTY CONTINUED.
