*In the bunk bed*
*Trevor sleeps and wakes up*
Trevor: *yawns* Wow what a -- Gah!
*Trevor gets up and Willow is sitting on a drawer next to his bunk bed*
Trevor: What the heck are you doing here? Were you watching me?
Willow: I've been resisting the temptation to wake you up, hence I've been waiting here for like 25 minutes. We need to talk!
Trevor: Okay ... What's up?
*Willow gets off the desk / dramatic music*
Willow: *yells* Lilith was on our side. She could have been useful to us, plus she was pretty chill! Why didn't you vote with us?
Trevor: Wills, I told you, I'm just waiting for the right time to strike on Ray. The whole point of working with him is that he clearly isn't that great at physical challenges. Lilith is super athletic, and so if we want to use him and then beat him, I needed to make sure I'm going to be able to do so.
Willow: *yells* So what happened to our pact then? I'm just so tired of nothing going my way! This was the final straw, Trevor. Plus this penalty chest thing, that just makes everything more complicated!
(C) Trevor: Yep, seeing Willow like this ... Definitely turning me off from her. The exposure effect is for sure wearing off ...
Trevor: It's not like I asked for it! Besides, what's so wrong with changing strategies? You can't go into a season expecting to utilize the same plan for the entire duration of the game. Video games taught me that early on, surprised you haven't realized that yet ...
Willow: Well -- I -- *yells* You should have just communicated more clearly with me! None of this sneaking off and talking to people behind my back. You were the one that initiated this pact anyway!
Trevor: I don't know why you're getting so mad at me here, I'm just trying to adapt to the game. It was your decision to not stick by me.
Willow: *yells* You're missing my point!
Trevor: *yells back* Oh whatever! So, what? Is this done then?
Willow: Yeah ... I actually can't deal with this stress anymore. *storms off*
*Willow enters another room*
Willow: *sigh* What am I doing ...
(C) Willow: Falling back on old habits again, aren't I? I may have just made a big mistake creating a rift between him and I, but I've got to continue fighting.
(C) Trevor: I can tell why she was so difficult to work with in the past seasons ... Sucks because I actually thought we were gonna go all the way together ... Whatever, I just want this stupid challenge.

*In luxury first class*
*Iris and Ray have a staredown*
Ray: So what is all of this about?
Iris: What do you mean?
Ray: Well, I'm flattered that you chose to spend the night with me, but if I feel as if I shouldn't be.
Iris: I needed an excuse to get you alone. I've been trying to think of the right words to say, but I'm just gonna spitball it.
Ray: Please, be my guest. No need to dance around me.
Iris: Alright, fine ... You've been pretty sneaky this season, haven't you? I'm aware of the plethora of moves you're making behind the scenes.
Ray: And is there anything wrong with that?
Iris: Well ... No ... But you do realize you've publicly established yourself as a threat for doing so, right? You're going to have to deal with those consequences.
Ray: Is that all?
Iris: No ... I'm also just upset that I just lost my good friend for the remainder of the game. So some of this might be stemming from that ... Sorry, still trying to figure things out ...
Ray: All is well. At least you're being respectful about it. You may have lost a friend, but by choosing to bring me here, you could be gaining a--
Iris: Not interested Ray.
Ray: Worth a shot. But I digress. Besides, it's not as if you're not hiding anything either.
Iris: What? What are you talking about?
Ray: I've been hypothesizing for a while now that this whole "leg charade" is just a cover up to make you appear weaker and not as a threat, unlike myself. I guess you could say that I'm now "onto you".
*Iris stands up from her seat*
Iris: *yells* You have some nerve to assume that of me! I've always been prideful in the skills that I can bring to the table.
Ray: Well, you are not denying it, are you?
Iris: *yells* Yes! Yes I am!
Ray: Hmm ... I presume I could have been wrong, but it's not like winning last challenge in a pivotal part of the game doesn't help support my theory.
Iris: *yells* Dude! What are you on right now?! I do not ever want to be taken for that kind of player or person! My injury was legit, and now you better watch your back. You've just made a new enemy in me.
(C) Iris: He has some sort of nerve ... Was it smart to make my distaste with him so vocal? Probably not the best move. But sometimes, the emotions in this game are just so exuberant, that they take over!
(C) Ray: What another interesting development in the story of Ray versus everyone. As if things weren't already looking difficult, chock up one more enemy to discard of. I suppose it's not the worst ordeal ... It provides me with another challenge. Anything to stimulate the ol' brain.
