Episode 6: I've Got Suspicions...
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sharon: Hhhhm... y'know, I gotta admit I have mixed emotions right now. On the one hand I'm incredibly happy that my dish was so liked by the jury and I was able to contribute so much to the team kitty. On the other hand though... I can't help but feel so gutted for Madelon. Even if she is the Mole and flopped on purpose, nobody, and I mean NOBODY would feel great after being torn apart the way she was, and something tells me she was seriously upset. Call it Officer's Intuition, hehe. I really hope for her that this doesn't affect her confidence too much and she keeps on chasing her dream. I know from my own experience how hard it actually was for me to follow my own dream and be a female officer at the beginning. Sure I can take in a lot...
*Sharon bursts into laughter*
Sharon: Okay that sounded wrong, I am so sorry, sometimes even I can be a bit of a child. Oh my god what is wrong with me? Anyways, even with me being kinda tough, you have to take in consideration that I am one of the few females in the crew, one of the youngest and probably the most atypical police officer with all my tattoos, and if it wasn't for Dustin's former Father In Law at the time who saw the potential in me, I probably wouldn't be the Sharon you're seeing right now. All I'm saying is that it sometimes takes a lot of practice and a HELL of a lot of persistence to follow your dream. I can say for myself I did that, and I really hope for Madelon she does the same. Anyways, tomorrow is the quiz, and I'm not ready to go home yet, so lets get un-moling the mole!
*mumbles to herself* Phew, that was a doozy, wow.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sharon: *knocks on the door* Tina? Madelon? Anyone in?
*mumbling heard through the door*
Sharon: I'm coming in, you guys! I hope you're decent!
Sharon: Oh, I'm so sorry, Madelon. Were you sleeping?
Madelon: *sniffs*... No.
Sharon: Oh, sweetie. Are you okay?
Madelon: I'm just a little... You know.
Sharon: Upset? I understand. Did you want to talk about it?
Madelon: I... I don't know. I think I just want to go to bed and sleep it off.
Sharon: Alright, I did just want to check to see if you were doing alright. The drive home felt very quiet, and it's in my nature to check on people.
Madelon: I appreciate that. Thank you, Sharon.
Sharon: No worries, Maddy. You know you've got a friend in me.
Madelon: .. Do you wanna maybe... Sit for a bit?
Sharon: Sure. I'll stay up all night if I have to.
Madelon: Tina is gonna make me talk about it anyway, so I might as well vent how I feel.
Sharon: Oh, totally. She's probably gonna be up all night, just forcing you to talk!
Madelon: *sighs* I've always been... Prone to judgement. All through my life, I've been judged for the way I look and what I did and... All my aspirations. It's not easy to deal with. I was super fearful of judgement at the start
Sharon: I hear you, girl. From another female in a male dominated field, I know all about that feeling.
Madelon: I've always resented those who judge other people for their choices and lifestyle...
Sharon: Yeah.
Madelon: Like... I've never understood why people can't just let people live their lives? Why do you have to impose your rules on someone else? Then I started to think, why does judgement even matter at all? Just live your best life, you know? So I changed my mindset and it changed my life.
Sharon: Oh, totally! I'm glad to hear that. Live your life, girl! Following your dreams is super important.
Madelon: The sad reality is... Tonight was my dream...
Sharon: Yeah, it definitely felt important to you. I'm sorry that they were such jerks about it. We all tried it later while you went to the bathroom, and we all thought it was special and from the heart.
Madelon: Thank you, Sharon. You know, I've always gone with what I feel is best for my life, whether people judge me or not... But tonight, I had that moment where I was living in my past again. My past of being afraid of the judgement and negativity. It mattered to me again.
Madelon: But instead of the judgement I brush off on a daily in my regular life, and in my job, you know, the stuff I want to rid the world of... It was more like that self-doubt and dream-crushing negativity... It... It really hurts. It's scary.
Sharon: Hey, now. It might be scary but this isn't the end of your dreams, you know! Who cares what two snobby washed-up actors think?! What would they know about culinary skills?
Madelon: But my aspirations is to one day spread my message and show off my skills to the world... This failure is already televised. My message is utter... Bullshit!
Sharon: Your message right now is stronger than any Mini Mole challenge, you dork!
Sharon: My old mentor once told me a really important concept that I've really stuck by. It's really helped me in my life and my career, despite any obstacles. When you try to achieve something, even if you feel you've taken a step backwards, you've taken one more step than everyone who hasn't tried, so you might as well keep walking, because you never know where it'll take you. Don't ever give up, you're going somewhere, Madelon!
Madelon: Thank you, Sharon. Truly, I needed to hear that.
Sharon: Now come here, you!
*Sharon hugs Madelon*
Madelon: I'm not gonna give up, but my god what a disaster.
Sharon: Think of it this way, if you're NOT the Mole, you've maybe made people think it's you! If you ARE the Mole, you've won yourself some money. Either way, it's a win, right?!
Madelon: Yeah. I guess if you put it like that! It's a big success!
Sharon: Wait! Are you the Mole, Madelon?!
Madelon: *giggles* Maybe... Guess you'll have to find out!
Sharon: Either way, I gotta get some sleep if I'm gonna have a clear mind for the quiz tomorrow!
Madelon: That's probably a smart idea. Tina should be back any moment now and I gotta get to bed before she talks my ear off!
Sharon: Good plan. I hope some sleep helps clear your mind.
Madelon: Hey, Sharon...
Sharon: Yeah?
Madelon: Thank you again.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Madelon: Last night was a disaster, and it really did get to me. But after my talk with Sharon, last night, it really helped with my confidence again. She's right, and I also should trust myself more and keep up the positive attitude. I'm very goal oriented, aspiration driven, and self-confident. I have to remind myself of that, and I'll find the good in every situation. Last night wasn't the end of my dreams, and my dream is to spread passion and triumph! How can I lose?
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Glen: *sighs* Coffee... Come to Papa...
Glen: Hey, friend. You know your signs busted, right? Sparkin' something real bad.
Bartender: Oh, really? How'd you notice that so early in the morning? I can hardly see straight before lunch.
Glen: Practice. Plenty of it. Got a keen eye that I've gotta keep sharp.
Bartender: What are you, some kinda Sherlock or somethin'?
Glen: Seriously though, fix it. It's probably dangerous sparking like that. Could electrocute someone if you're not careful.
Bartender: Oh, no, for sure! I'll get the maintenance guy a call, later, I've just got some other stuff I gotta do, ya know?
Glen: God, I'd hate to see you be management. I ain't sticking around to watch anyone die today.
Bartender: Dude, chill. I got this.
...
Glen: My God... Negligent people. I can't stand them!
*Takes a sip of coffee*
Glen: Ahhh... That's the good stuff.
Angelica: GooooOoooOooood Morning, Coach!
Glen: Mornin' Angelica. You seem chipper.
Angelica: Always. You're sitting here all by yourself?
Glen: I am.
Angelica: Care if I join you?
Glen: You go right ahead.
Angelica: Neat!
Glen: A fresh batch of coffee just got brewed! You might wanna grab it while it's hot.
Angelica: Oh, no thank you. I don't drink coffee!
Glen: ... People like you disgust me...
Angelica: What? You've never met anyone who just gets energised off positive vibes and a good sleep?
Glen: Guessing the room to yourself is proving useful.
Angelica: It's worked wonders for my sleep. It's easier to not be kept up with the thought of the game when your roomie doesn't ask you questions.
Glen: Still got all the questions in you head no?
Angelica: I do, but its easier to just silence those than trying to silence Nicky at 2am.
Glen: Fair point. What questions do you have? Got any clear suspicions?
Angelica: A few suspicions, but I still have so many unanswered questions. For example, what happened yesterday with the phones between our team?
Glen: Are we really doing this again? Can't I have my coffee in bloody peace without someone questioning my integrity?
Angelica: I'm not pointing fingers, Glen! I'm just trying to get to the bottom of things, because I still understand what happened.
Glen: I don't have a Scooby Doo either, but I'm not at fault here. So I ain't letting the blame go to me.
Angelica: Well, hear me out, Coach. If you didn't do anything wrong on your end, and I couldn't call you, then that leaves only one other person with access to the phones. Hayden!
Glen: You think Hayden messed with the phones?
Angelica: Think about it like this. He had the phone on our end first and if you didn't get a call at all, all afternoon, that means his time with the phone was what ruined it. Trust me, I tried to call you like ten times!
Glen: How did he mess up the phones then? Couldn't you see the number being dialled?
Angelica: I could! What if he changed the number we were meant to call?!
Glen: Of course! That way you'd be calling the wrong number when you had the phone and that's why it didn't ring!
Angelica: Exactly! See! I'm not just a dumb blonde.
Glen: Riddle me this... How did you not get my call then? It's not like you changed numbers in my phone!
Angelica: Oh... Right... I guess I AM a dumb blonde after all.
Carlos: Aren't you a poet or writer? Your mind is part of your beautiful charm, Angel.
Angelica: Daww... Thanks, Carlos!
Glen: Mornin', smooth talker.
Carlos: Morning, Coach... What are you both talking about anyway?
Angelica: We think that Hayden messed with the phone somehow. That's how we couldn't call each other.
Carlos: Interesting. Did you see Hayden do anything suspicious with the phone?
Angelica: No, but I was walking ahead of him. He could have done it early on to get maximum sabotage!
Carlos: Is it possible he took the SIM card out?
Angelica: It did attempt to ring when I went to use it.
Glen: This doesn't make any sense then. There must be a reason why you didn't get MY call. Was it on silent?
Angelica: When it comes to music, even ringtones, I don't like to do anything silently.
Carlos: What about the neighbourhood being too loud?
Angelica: It was the middle of the day on a work day... Quietest neighbourhood I've been in!
Carlos: And neither of you are to blame, right?
Angelica: Not from my end...
Glen: We're not starting this again. It's bloody Hayden, the Mole.
Carlos: What exactly did I miss whilst Lawrence and I were retrieving that Salad Dressing?
Angelica: Well... Just one big misunderstanding, I'm sure.
Glen: Misunderstanding, my ass. Guy can't keep his cool.
Angelica: Hey! You weren't exactly the level headed one, either, dude!
Glen: I'll admit it, I got heated. It was hot in that kitchen and I wasn't about to let some Mole, fake or not, sabotage my part of the challenge.
Carlos: God, sounds like I missed something juicy. I'm almost sad that I missed a blow up that didn't involve me in it.
Angelica: Ohhh... Just you wait, Prince Charming. I wouldn't go poking around in Madelon's or Everett's business anytime soon.
Carlos: Madelon and I have buried the hatchet... But Everett has a problem with me now? Where did you hear this?
Glen: Tina, no doubt.
Carlos: Interesting...
Angelica: Tina... I probably overshared... Oops.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Carlos: So, through the grapevine I've managed to hear that Hayden sabotaged the phones, Madelon still resents me a little, and Everett has a problem with me now. Who knew talking to these people can be so lucrative for information! It might be wise for me to figure out a more permanent arrangement for information... and poke some fingers in Everett's business to see what sticks. Hah.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Everett: Hmm... There are so many options for who The Mole could be. By the uh, sounds of it, everyone has some hand in something that went wrong in that last challenge. The trail went from being almost dead cold to... Well, wide open!
Everett: I mean, a few uh, key people stand out for me. Every major thing that went wrong can be pointed at about three different people, at least! It's brutal...
Hayden: Yo, Everett! What's going on? Talking to yourself over here?
Everett: Yeah, I uh, I am. Does that make me crazy?
Hayden: We're all a bit crazy, bro. Don't change.
Everett: Haha. Alright...
Hayden: Hey, did you want someone to talk with? Bounce some ideas off of before the quiz, orrrrrr...
Everett: No, no, no! Come sit. I'm uh,... I'm a bit lonely here anyway, I guess.
Hayden: Cool cool... I've been wondering why you've been by yourself so much recently.
Everett: Who? Me?... I mean, yeah, I guess I have...
Everett: I feel like despite everything, I've had a rough time fitting in with this group? I don't know.
Hayden: I can see that happening. Everyone likes you though, dude.
Everett: So far, I've had a few bad eggs kind of ruin my experience so far... Don't get me wrong, there are some awesome people here. Ones I'd like to go on a road trip with, you know?
Hayden: Am I one of those, bro?
Everett: I think I'd go on a road trip with you, sure!
Hayden: Wicked. I'd been down for that anytime.
Everett: I'd go with Tina... Angelica, perhaps.
Hayden: I'd wanna bring my boy Lawrence. We're pretty tight now, eh?
Everett: I've noticed... Sadly, he's one of the uh, bad eggs.
Hayden: Oh, really? Law is a real solid guy once you get to know him. He's got that big brain energy, ya know? Don't let his exterior fool you. He's a smart dude.
Everett: I kinda figured as much, but... I dunno. Just my perception of him is skewed I guess. God, I sound like an idiot, honestly.
Hayden: This about him and Nicky?
Everett: Maybe... No... Why?
Hayden: I had a hunch after hearing some talk, you know?
Everett: Nicky was a bad egg. A bad egg who was playing the wrong strategy.
Hayden: I mean she DID go home first.
Everett: I felt a connection to Nicky, like we were close friends who knew each other for years, and then found out that her strategy was just to flirt and get close to people... Really was just a shitty thing to do.
Hayden: Women can be whack, dude. Don't even get me started.
Everett: Not just women... Carlos has been a nightmare of a roommate and human being... I just sucks that this is what my experience has come down to. Normally I'm all about the adventure and experience, but now it's all whiney and bullshit.
Hayden: Well, let's leave all that behind and let's talk about some game then! I'm down to just talk game, and put aside all the bullshit. Anytime!
Everett: That's honestly why I've been sitting alone just letting my Mole brain go wild!
Hayden: It's good to think about the strategy, especially with a quiz coming up.
Everett: So, what happened with you, Angelica and Glen? The phone situation sure got out of hand pretty quickly!
Hayden: It's an enigma, honestly. I'm still trying to work out who to blame.
Everett: Can I trust there was no malicious intent on your behalf?
Hayden: Can you ever really?
Everett: Good point. But if I ask politely enough, would you tell me?
Hayden: There ain't much intent there. Does that help?
Everett: A little... It's Mini Mole, you can't trust anyone but yourself and your gut.
Hayden: I've been thinking, and hear me out on this one, Angelica was behind the phone call problems.
Everett: She made most of the phone calls, right?
Hayden: I called Glen once at the start, after we waited forever for him to call us, but after that it was all her. Glen says there were no calls, but Angelica says she called many times. I did see her do it, but it might've been fake!
Hayden: If Angelica messed with the phone, Glen couldn't call AND Angelica could just fake trying to reach HIM. Glen blames us, we blame Glen and she gets off messing up the challenge!
Everett: ... And she doesn't get called out for it either?
Hayden: It's a little subtle to NOT be The Mole. If she was just a player, she'd want to get caught for it to add suspicion, right?!
Everett: I think that's a really valid point. The alternative is that it's not her and it was Glen... Or even you! All we know is something went wrong there.
Hayden: True... But it's too weird for me NOT to go down that rabbit hole.
Everett: Do you really think she did it?
Hayden: I'm gonna ask her about it and see what she says... If she admits to doing it, then she isn't The Mole. If she denies it...
Everett: She's going to deny it. No one is that complacent in this game. Even the players want to be subtle.
Hayden: This is a twisted game, man. A twisted as hell game.
Everett: Don't even get me started...
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Lawrence: Yo Tina! You're early!
Tina: I am! I've just been here, watching the cars roam around the carpark, honestly.
Lawrence: Why didn't you just come and get us? We could meet up at one of the rooms to talk, you know?
Tina: Sharon said she'd be late, and I just thought I'd ponder a little bit about the quiz before I bring up any questions.
Lawrence: Smart! Like stretching to a workout, ya gotta stretch that brain with questions, chaknow?
Tina: Yeah! Kind of... Minus the workout bit.
Larwence: C'mon Tina! You can do a little muscle workout today. If I can do it, you can do it too!
Tina: You saw me last time, I don't think I CAN do it. All that running yesterday was enough for me.
Lawrence: ... Is that why you brought the chair?
Tina: ... Maybe.
Tina: I'm nervous about the quiz and felt it was more important for us to discuss what happened. We're covering all grounds between the three of us. If we can work out what went down, we'll be more likely to all make it through.
Lawrence: Chyeah, totally. I had eyes on Carlos. You've had eyes on Everett and Sharon got to see the two cooks in the kitchen! We can't lose, bro!
Lawrence: So should we wait for Sharon?
Tina: We can talk, just us two. She said she'd join us as soon as she's ready!
Lawrence: Alright, so what did you notice about Everett during the challenge? Did he do anything suspicious whilst you were running around?
Tina: In all honesty, we were kind of a dream team, him and I. I feel like we were on track with getting the ingredients the whole time. There was a moment where he didn't want to visit a place where I found one of the ingredients, but as it turned out next door was a grocery store, so it didn't really matter in the end. That's about the only fishy thing I noticed.
Lawrence: Interesting... Maybe he was trying to lure you away from all of it?
Tina: I doubt it.
Tina: I do have a bit of a hunch something we wrong with you and Carlos, though.
Lawrence: I was gonna say we were the dream duo too, bro! Carlos and I killed it, ya know?
Tina: Then how do you explain the double ups of ingredients after you gave all our stuff to Everett and I?
Lawrence: I wouldn't go pointing fingers at us. I think it was just lack of communication between the duos. We were livin' in the moment and getting the tasks done, and just forgot to ask what items you had.
Tina: You also forgot the Salad Dressing!
Lawrence: That was my bad, bro.
Tina: Do you think Carlos lead you astray on purpose?
Lawrence: I felt like he was part of the reason we got so much done. Bro might be underestimated, but he's a crafty dude.
Tina: Crafty, maybe, but I don't trust him as far as I can throw him!... and that isn't very far!
Lawrence: You gotta work on that, Teens.
Tina: Trusting him or throwing him?
Lawrence: Both, actually.
Tina: I do have on more question, and I'm really suspicious of Carlos on this one...
Tina: How did a Lime end up in our shopping collection?
Lawrence: Oh, dude. I have no idea!
Tina: I trust that it wasn't you?
Lawrence: Put all your faith in me and our little bond we have here. I did not pick up or SEE a lime in the entire challenge.
Tina: Hmmm... I don't know if I believe that, but I'll trust you on this one.
Lawrence: I'm being straight up with you, I had no part of it.
Tina: Then who did? I don't believe Everett found one. We were hardly alone for him to sneak one in!
Lawrence: I don't know what to tell you, bro. All I know is that I didn't do it, and I don't believe that Carlos did either. There didn't seem to be a lime in our shopping when we gave it to you guys.
Tina: Everett had out shopping, but we both kept inventory of it! We 100% didn't have it before we met you two either.
Tina: But somehow, a random lime gets added into the mix and neither team wants to take ownership of it! It's really annoying because Everett and I were really trying our best to be quick and smart on this one!
Lawrence: Tina, I have no idea what to tell you. All I know is that I had nothing to do with it.
Lawrence: For all we know, it could've been placed there by one of the cooks, when you were emptying your stuff.
Sharon: What's happening, peeps! Sorry that I'm late!
Tina: Hiya, Sharon. We're talking about the lime incident.
Lawrence: Did you see any of the cooks being suspicious around the kitchen? Perhaps putting a secret sabotage object in the collection of food?
Sharon: I don't think so. I thought I saw Tina and Everett emptying all the stuff on the table. Glen or Madelon might have been around that area, but it would have been pretty obvious if they did place it there.
Lawrence: If you two were the ones emptying the items onto the counter, then there is a low chance that a cook snuck one in, ya know?
Tina: I know it wasn't me, but now I'm questioning Everett... What if he pulled a fast one on me? Hid it from me and pulled it out when I was unloading the shopping?
Sharon: It could theoretically be possible that he hide a small lime in his pocket. It could also be possible that you just didn't see it, and it was given to you by Carlos.
Tina: However it ended up there, I tip my hat off to the Mole, honestly. They're playing dirty and I can't believe I'm too blind to see it.
Sharon: After last challenge, it's not just The Mole who is playing dirty... I think everyone has finally started to sabotage.
Lawrence: My brains hurting, thinking up the possibilities.
Sharon: Care to make your body hurt too? I'm ready to work out!
Lawrence: Chyeah, bro! I'm down. Let's do this!
Sharon: That's the spirit!
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Lawrence: Somethin' fishy went on with the ingredients yesterday. I don't know who to trust. Double ups, random items and sneaky sabotage happened, and I'm not trusting ANY of the runners now. Tina might be in my alliance, but I'm keeping her and Everett on my suspicion watch list. Ya gotta keep your enemies close in this game. I think one of them messed around, big time!
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tina: So, I just finished watching Sharon and Lawrence work out.
Everett: Watching them work out? Creepy, but go on...
Tina: Long story short, we've got a little information alliance going on between the three of us.
Everett: Really? Is that so.
Tina: I'm telling you this because I trust you, and I think you and I have a good connection.
Everett: I feel the same way. Hayden and I had a chat this morning, and I think I've got a little information sharing alliance with him now too.
Everett: I feel the same way. Hayden and I had a chat this morning, and I think I've got a little information sharing alliance with him now too.
Tina: Alright, how about we keep bringing that information from those three back to us, and see how far we can ride this game!
Everett: I'm on board! I trust you Tina.
Tina: I trust you too... Now, like I was saying, I was watching them work out.
Everett: Still creepy...
Tina: ... and before that we talked about the ingredient fiasco that went down.
Everett: The double ups of the ingredients and the extra random items? I'm familiar.
Tina: Lawrence seems to think that you did it, but I'm almost certain that Lawrence and Carlos planted it in their shopping!
Everett: I've been thinking this over, and I'm actually quite confident that Lawrence snuck it in when he handed it over to us!
Tina: Exactly!
Everett: Think about it. Carlos didn't want to give us the ingredients, but Lawrence DID! If Lawrence had the mixed up ingredients on him, he uh, he would've only been one of two suspicious by not passing it onto us. Since he did, he's technically one in uh, four suspects because we don't know where exactly the lime came from!
Tina: Right! That's why I think he did it.
Everett: Either that or Carlos is a master actor. I know he can uh, play the Prince Charming role well, but for him to risk not giving us their bad items, I can't see it being feasible.
Tina: So our main suspect is Lawrence then.
Everett: Did you discuss the possibility it was already in the kitchen when we arrived?
Tina: Sharon seemed to think no one in the kitchen did anything suspicious when it came to the ingredients.
Everett: And do you trust Sharon?
Tina: I actually do! I think she was telling the truth, don't you? Our little trio did exceptionally well in the challenge.
Everett: I agree. That's why my money right now is on Lawrence... Oh, did you want a drink?
Tina: No, thank you.
Everett: So, why did they think it was me and not you?
Tina: I think partly because I'm in their little alliance trust group. I did defend my case because I know it isn't me.
Everett: Did you play up the fact that I could have done it? That might've worked well in our favour.
Tina: It did cross my mind to just go with it, but I was keeping the options open. I wanted information on as many suspects as I could get!
Everett: Good point. That way you can get ideas on everyone and make your own judgement.
Tina: Exactly! And right now, my money is on Lawrence... Lawrence or Madelon.
Tina: She did ruin an entire meal, and let me tell you, from someone who claims to be a Caterer and a cook, I can't see her messing up accidentally.
Everett: Do you think she sabotaged?
Tina: I think it's possible. It's also possible that the ingredients were bad or heck, even the salad dressing was sour!
Everett: This game is brutal... Even more brutal when you think about the phone situation on the Pancake Team.
Tina: Oh god, what an absolute mindflip!
Everett: I talked with Hayden this morning, and he genuinely believes it's Angelica who messed up the phone.
Tina: From the sounds of it, Angelica blames Hayden...
*knocking can be heard on the door*
Tina: Oh god... Who is it? We're dead if it's any of the seven people we've talked about so far.
Everett: Hang on... Let me just check before I let them in. It might be housekeeping.
Tina: Do you see anyone there?
Everett: I can't see anyone. Maybe it was the kids doing a knock and run?
Tina: Maybe it was a ghost!... This place could pass as haunted.
Everett: Either way, they're gone and I think we're safe!
Glen: Safe, eh? You know these doors ain't insulated and you can hear you guys on the balcony, right?
Everett: Crap... Is that true?
Tina: Oh god... and I talk so loud!!! The whole neighbourhood probably just heard me.
Glen: That you do, Tina. That you do. Don't worry, I didn't hear anything except you guys freaking out once I knocked.
Tina: *giggles* Well, I'm glad you didn't hear anything offensive we said about you.
Everett: We didn't talk about Glen at all, Tina, what are you talking about?
Glen: I thought I could hear my ears burnin'.
Tina: We didn't say a word. Must have been the wind.
Glen: So, what are you lot talking about in here then? If it ain't about me, then I'm fine to join in, right?
Everett: We were discussing yesterday in hopes to get some clear sights on The Mole for the quiz.
Glen: I got a few suspects, but yesterday's challenge went so poorly, it's hard to commit to one or another.
Tina: We're pretty set on Lawrence being The Mole, but apart from that we're now discussing Madelon's mistake and the phone situation.
Glen: I can't go anywhere without the blasted thing showing up in conversation!
Everett: My guess is that you didn't have a role in the phone's going wrong?
Glen: You could bet your bottom dollar, I didn't.
Everett: Really?... Two different people tried to call you and neither of them reached your number?
Glen: That's what Angelica and I were discussing this morning. Turns out she believes Hayden messed with the phone, and therefore she couldn't use it once it was in her possession.
Everett: So our main suspects should be Lawrence, Hayden or Madelon for the challenge. Who do I even choose?
Glen: I wouldn't put all my eggs in one basket yet, boyo. The killer is never the first suspect.
Tina: Wait, someone died...?
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Madelon: I cannot believe this... I CANNOT believe this.....
I've never put so much focus in my cooking as during that mission. I've even paid extra attention to the right doses of the ingredients... If the judges have SUCH an intense aversion to it, it can only have one explanation...
Madelon: Someone must have tampered with my salad after it had been completed!
Madelon: Pfffft... I shouldn't lose my focus on the game, this IS Mini Mole... I feel like crap though.. Maybe I could juuuust push that a bit more... Maybe I can push others to slip up that way...
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Madelon: Hey, thank you guys for coming by so quickly. I just wanted to talk some things out.
Carlos: No problem. Is this about yesterday's challenge?
Madelon: Yeah, it is.
Lawrence: Sure, bro. What's going on? I'm all ears.
Madelon: As you know, we were the team that had the dish fail, and I wanted to know where it all went wrong. I had a talk last night with Sharon, because at first, I thought it was me, but then I realised it must've been another reason. I know my abilities and my sense of self.
Carlos: I'm sorry, is this another one of those "It's You" moments? I didn't come here to take blame for a dish I had no part of cooking.
Lawrence: Chyeah, bro. I already got a grilling from Tina about us sabotaging the ingredients.
Carlos: A little birdie also told me Everett is the same mindset.
Carlos: So remind me, Madelon, if you would be ever so kind. Why exactly it is OUR fault again?
Lawrence: I'm actually on his side for this one. Are you sure you didn't mess it up, like The Mole might've?
Madelon: I am 100% sure and 100% honest I didn't mess it up.
Lawrence: I think I speak for Carlos and myself that were were absolutely killin' that challenge. Our teamwork was lit and you can't deny it.
Madelon: You two did a good job finding ingredients, and were really consistent with your phone calls.
Lawrence: Exactly, so you can't blame us for this one, bro.
Madelon: Well, if you two were so perfect, and the food was excellently portioned and taste tested prior to the judging, how exactly did it end up so disliked?
Lawrence: Iunno.
Madelon: Someone had to have sabotaged it.
Madelon: And if I can gauge that neither of you did anything malicious, which I'm still not certain of, then I think all three of us can successfully point the finger at Glen or Sharon in the kitchen. Specifically Glen, who finished last.
Carlos: You know all nine of us were at the restaurant at that point, right?
Madelon: Then someone must have seen something!
Carlos: This guy right here, saw you finishing your little salad, princess. Then after that nothing until the "celebrity judges" arrived. This isn't a case of sabotage, this is clearly a case bad cook. Who messes up a SALAD?!
Madelon: Excuse me! I am a Caterer by profession, okay! The thought of me being a bad c-...
Carlos: Lawrence, back me up here, man.
Lawrence: I am, bro, but I've got no clue what went down yesterday. It's all so... messy.
Madelon: You're not even listening to my side! I tasted it, personally. I followed the right recipe in my head with the ingredients I was given and it was all perfect!
Madelon: Why don't you guys believe me?
Carlos: Because from our side, Madelon, we did nothing wrong. If anything we worked as a successful unit, and we're not getting credit for it.
Madelon: I gave you credit! You just weren't listening to me!
Carlos: Yet here we are, getting blame for bad ingredients, other cooks sabotaging the meal, poor judgement from the celebrity judges. Why can't you just accept you made a mistake?
Madelon: Because I tried my damn hardest, Carlos!
Madelon: I believe that both of you gave me good ingredients. I wouldn't have entrusted the task with you two if I didn't. I also wouldn't have used the ingredients if they didn't meet my standards! For me, mental health and wellbeing comes from a healthy lifestyle and good food, so my body is a temple!
Madelon: Lawrence, your mind is your temple.
Lawrence: It's true.
Madelon: And Carlos, your body is yours... Clearly.
Carlos: I'll take it.
Madelon: Help me... Both of you, help me to figure out who did this to my meal. I'm like a parent asking about their missing child... I just want to know what happened.
Carlos: I'll ask around and see if the cooks saw anyone near the meals after they were made... Happy?
Lawrence: I'll speak to, Coach and see what he says.
Madelon: Thank you. This will help us get closer to The Mole.

Angelica: Howdy Partner.
Hayden: Sup, Angel. How you doing?
Angelica: I'm a little nervous about the quiz, but apart from that I'm keeping chipper as always.
Angelica: I thought we could do our meet up. You know, cause of our little alliance meeting.
Hayden: Got any main suspects yet?
Angelica: I have a few that I'm thinking of splitting between. I don't want to commit to putting all my answers on one person yet. Not after yesterday.
Hayden: I do have something to ask about yesterday.
Angelica: What's that?
Hayden: As my alliance member, I want you to answer truthfully. Mole or no Mole.
Angelica: Sure?
Hayden: Did you, or did you not, sabotage the phone calls during the challenge?
Angelica: Woah! Do you genuinely think it was me messing that up?!
Hayden: Yeah, kinda...
Angelica: I thought we were a team! What the heck, Hayden
Hayden: We are a team, but I have to ask because by the sounds of it, it could have easily been you and not just Glen.
Angelica: What if it was YOU and you're just trying to point the blame to someone else, like a Mole would!
Hayden: Do you think it was me? You had the phone after me.
Angelica: Yet, I couldn't make a phone call! How suspicious.
Hayden: This alliance isn't going to work out if neither of us trust in each other. So let's get the story straight. Was it you or was it Glen?
Angelica: It was Glen. He never answered. You tried yourself! Nothing but a ringtone.
Angelica: So I'm assuming the same thing to you. You didn't break the phone or fiddle with the settings, did you?
Hayden: Nope, you had full control over the phone for the day.
Angelica: Then it's settled... Glen sabotaged our team.
Angelica: It kind of makes me mad that I don't have a definitive answer for who sabotaged what in the challenge.
Hayden: You're a poet, no? I thought you'd be all for ambiguity.
Angelica: When I write, it has meaning that can fit any listener's situation but... This is a game!
Hayden: It is, and honestly Angel, if it turns out to be you who messed up the challenge. I applaud you for your gameplay. Fake some phone calls, make us go on a wild goose chase looking for a friendly neighbour. Masterful work...
Angelica: For the last time, I didn't do anything! It gave it my all!
Angelica: This alliance isn't going to work out if we don't trust each other. I thought our arrangement is to put in our trust fully and work together to find The Mole using our connections.
Hayden: It is.
Angelica: Then why are we pointing fingers at each othe.
Hayden: Cause I feel neither of us want to admit fault here.
Angelica: Are you at fault here?
Hayden: Are YOU at fault here?
Angelica: Only if you are...
Hayden: Depends on if you are.
Angelica: So where do we stand?
Hayden: ...
Angelica: ...
Taiha: ...
Taiha: I feel like I've come at another bad moment... Right?
Hayden: Yeah... That's your penchant honestly.
Taiha: Well, I sadly don't have much say in which moments I come by because I have a show to run.
Taiha: So prepare, my kittens! It's time for the quiz and elimination! Get your thinking caps on. It's time!
Angelica: I'm not ready!
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Taiha: It's time for the quiz! Ten questions about the identity and actions of The Mole, and a ranking of all the suspects from most to least suspicious! The person who scores lowest on this quiz, and therefore knows the least about the identity of The Mole, WILL be sent home.
Glen: Alright, here goes nothing. Wish me luck, Helen. I know you're watching...
Glen: Question One... Is The Mole Male or Female?
a. Male
b. Female
Glen: The classic question... Can't start a quiz without one?
Carlos: Question Two: As of this episode, is The Mole in an official alliance with another player?
a. Yes
b. No
Carlos: How the heck are we supposed to know that? Isn't it secret?
Sharon: Three. Did The Mole drive to the location of Challenge #4?
a. Yes
b. No
Sharon: The drivers were... Myself, Glen, Angelica and... Taiha?
Lawrence: In which car did The Mole arrive to the location of Challenge #4?
a. White
b. Red
c. Blue
d. Yellow
Lawrence: Which car was my mole in again? Skele-bro?
Angelica: Next is... In Challenge #4, what was The Mole's role?
a. Cook
b. Runner
Angelica: It's split majority-minority. Should I gamble on my Mole or go with the majority?
Tina: Question Six: In Challenge #4, which team was The Mole in?
a. Team Nachos
b. Team Salad
c. Team Pancakes
Tina: I dunno, but this is making me hungry!
Everett: Question Seven: In Challenge #4, how many times did we see The Mole use the phone?
a. We did not see The Mole use a phone
b. One Time
c. Two Times
d. Three Times
Everett: How do we know this if we didn't see them? Huh?!
Hayden: Q8: In Challenge #4, which unique item did The Mole bring back to the restaurant?
a. Eggs
b. Tomatoes
c. Salad Dressing
d. The Mole did not bring back any items
Hayden: Tough call... Could have been any of them.
Madelon: In Challenge #4, did The Mole’s dish pass the challenge?
a. Yes
b. No
c. The Mole did not cook a dish
Madelon: It's a question for me of "is The Mole a cook or not"...
Taiha: And lastly question ten... Who is... The Mole?
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Taiha: It's that time, again. Sadly, another player will be leaving us again tonight. I know, its so soon for another one of my little kittens to leave, but its the way the game goes.
Taiha: As you all already know by now. You've done the quiz and submitted your scores. The lowest scorer will be eliminated tonight. They knew the least about the identity of The Mole.
Taiha: We'll do the screens one by one. If you're safe, you'll see a green screen. If you are the lowest scorer, you will get a red screen and will be eliminated tonight.
Taiha: Right then. Formalities out of the way... Are we ready?
...
Taiha: Yeah, me neither...
Taiha: Coach Glen! You're up first, let's see how you did.
Glen: Helen, I need all your luck now...

Everett: Crap...
*Everyone gasps*
Taiha: I'm sorry, Everett. It's time to go.
Everett: Understood... Wow, I wasn't expecting that. Good job to The Mole, I guess...
Everett: See you all later. Good luck guys. Catch that pesky Mole for me!
Tina: Noooo, Everett!
Angelica: Goodbye, lovely!
Hayden: Travel safe, dude!
Everett: What an absolute bummer! I was hoping to be here for the entire journey and the big experience, and I've fallen too short.
Taiha: It's a tough game. I'm sad to be seeing you go, Everett. I'm so sorry it's turned out like this.
Everett: It's not your fault. I just didn't have my eyes on The Mole and I think I spread for the wrong people.
Taiha: Did you have a good experience on Mini Mole?
Everett: The Mini Mole experience was stressful, honestly. I think the uh, the challenges were fun and the game was a mindfuck, but I think there were uh, some parts that ruined it for me, a lil bit.
Taiha: I'm sorry to hear that! It's a wild ride, Mini Mole! Which parts didn't you enjoy?
Everett: I feel like some of the others were a few bad eggs, and I think I let me emotions get in the way of my experience. I don't think my head was in the game or in the adventure and so I couldn't find that Mole! Sadly, that meant I'm here tonight.
Everett: When I see the Mole in the finale, I'm gonna give them a stern talking to, especially after yesterday! Some people are playing, uh, they're playing a great game but sadly it meant I'm a casualty of their tricks. That's Mini Mole I guess!
Taiha: It is indeed! But we WILL see you in the finale!
Everett: I sure hope so!
Taiha: Thanks for playing Mini Mole, Everett. I hope you have a great trip home!
Everett: It's been a pleasure and thank you for this experience. It was great to have played!
*They Hug*
Taiha: Safe travels, Everett!
Everett: Travelling is what I do, I'll be sure to keep safe!
Taiha: Goodbye!
Everett Cameron - 8th Place (2nd Eliminee)
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Taiha: Sadly, Everett has fallen, but that means it is the final 8 for you all. Congratulations on surviving another elimination! There will be another challenge tomorrow, so it's best you rest up...
Taiha: ... BUT ... You better first pack your bags, because tonight we're not staying here...
All: Oh?!
Taiha: Say goodbye to this motel. We're moving on to our next location!
