Episode 10 "Jar Of Hearts"
*Italicized=Confessionals
Previously On ETN 2...
    The guests face challenges in a magical realm. In order to defeat an Ice Witch. Matt and Laura walk the path of betrayal and decide who will die.
    *Josh getting killed
    "Josh!" says everyone.
However, it is they who are betrayed.
    "She didn't leave us the stone," says Laura.

    "Well Josh is dead now," says Matt.
    "And we have no stone," says Victor.
    "All we have now is this crystal," says Alex.
"The crystal came from the lady from outside and she said basically it holds magical abilities. I'm okay I'll take it," says Matt.
    "He just killed one of us because of not playing by his rules and now we play by his rules and he doesn't give us a stone," says Victor.
    "So someone's life doesn't equal a stone at this point," says Matt.
    "There are no rules. It doesn't matter whoever goes into these little battles to the death. Somebody is going to die and we just don't know who," says Deja.
    "Last time Josh wasn't even in the battle and he still died," says Deja.
    "I still don't understand. There has to be something more to that," says Matt.
    "All of a sudden there's a huge horrifying noise behind us," says Deja.
Then a door opens.
    "A siren means that we are going into this door and that could mean anything," says Victor.
Then there is a huge contraption on a table.
    "There's a gear there's a lock what else do we have?"
    "This lock needs four numbers," says Victor.
Laura and Deja place the new items found on the table.
    "This says rotate twice," says Victor.
    "Is this it?" says Deja holding a gear.
    "Yes," says Alex.
Victor then inserts the gear and rotates it twice. Then a little drawer opens on the contraption.
    "This just opened," says Laura holding a little piece paper.
    "The fuel cell must be secured correctly or the machine will not run. Once in place hold the panel and pull the lever on the right," says Laura.
    They put the crystal in the fuel cell.
    "Then pull the lever," says Laura.
Then a projection a woman who is hooked up to a machine and a man is the video as well.
    "She's a cyborg," says Alex.
    "I think I found her wedding ring," says Laura.
    "I need a human heart to do this," says the man in the projection.
    "Oh no!" says Deja.
    "He's gonna take a human heart," says Laura.
Then the combination to the lock shows up on the projection and then disappears.
    "The numbers are on the screen for like a second and we all saw at least one of the numbers," says Deja.
    "It said 17 something," says Matt.
    "1799," says Alex.
    "No it's 7299," says Victor.
Matt puts the combination in and the lock opens.
  "Matt finds this container and inside are the blueprints for the automaton bride," says Alex.
    "We may have cracked the code to get the blueprints but now we've triggered this other problem," says Victor.
    "The doors are locked and the machine will self destruct in 10 Minutes," says the contraption.
    "I start looking around and I notice that one of the vents on the floor is loose," says Alex.
    "I found one piece," says Alex.
    "Think back to the video what was this used for," says Matt.
Matt inserts the piece and the clock stops with 2:00 left on it. Then a man with a huge backpack on enters the room.
    "You've destroyed my life's work!" screams the man.
    "We didn't do anything," says Matt.
He then shoots steam out of his gun and everyone starts screaming and hiding. Then Enida walks in with a new face her name is Aayla and she shoots an electron beam at the man freezing him.
    "He's only gonna be like that for a couple of minutes. We gotta get out of here," says Aayla.
    "Who's she," says Deja running out of the room.
    "Who are you what was that?" says Laura.
    "I'm Aayla. Nice to meet you," says Aayla.
    "That was, Cedric. He's my old boss. He can be a real asshole sometimes. He built this automaton bride to love him forever. It only woke enough to crush his soul. But someone sabotaged her and now he thinks ya'll did it," says Aayla.
   "I had everything to do with your automaton bride. Bitch my future one just died. Love you, Kayla," says Matt.
    "I know what we can do. Rebuild his bride. Do you have the blueprints?" says Aayla.
    "I have them," says Alex.
    "I'm not sure why Aayla is so invested in this," says Victor.
    "I just want to show him that I can make something that works," says Aayla.
    "If we do this are we gonna get the stone?" says Victor.
    "Um. I think we can arrange that? Follow me to the labs. Watch for traps because he made a defense system," says Aayla.
   "If Aayla didn't just come to save us. I feel like we'd all be dead," says Matt.
    "Shit you just stepped on a landmine it's gonna be fine. Stay put or your leg will come off again," says Aayla.
    "This is a huge problem," says Victor.
Then a timer is flipped on the ground.
    "That's less time then I thought you had," says Aayla.
    "In order to defuse the bomb, we have to hit these targets around the room. With these guns," says Laura.
    "Everyone just goes crazy. It's like pow, pow, pew, pew, pew," says Alex.
    "I got one!" says Laura.
    "Oh my god are we about to lose Victor," says Deja.
12/20 Targets Remain.
    "Got three," says Deja.
4/20 Targets Remain.
    "Every time we think there are no more targets. There are still more targets," says Deja.
Then Alex gets the last one with two seconds left.
    "Cedric comes back in angry as ever," says Laura.
Enida jumps in front of the group. Then Cedric shoots a net out of his gun towards Enida trapping her in it.
    "After Enida sacrifices herself for us. I know for sure that she is on our side," says Victor.
    The group runs into a red hallway.
    "Where are we?" says Alex.
    "This is the red hallway," says Aayla.
    "I thought we've been everywhere apparently there's this lab full of broken bits and machines," says Deja.
    "Not gonna lie is actually pretty sick," says Matt.
    "Guys there's the bride!" says Deja.
    "She looks so real," says Alex.
    "Gather the proper parts and place them in the elevator at the end of the red hall. If they are correct the mass machine upstairs will ascend above. So it can be placed on the automaton," says Matt.
    "You guys go check it out I'm gonna check interference," says Aayla.
    "Everybody just go look for these things," says Deja.
"Everyone's frantically looking in the lab for these five raw parts. Oh, there's a piece. I find the first one," says Alex.
    "I wish Cedric was a little more organized is all I'm saying," says Deja.
Laura finds the second piece.
    "At this point, I feel like I haven't that helpful. This is the first time I found something," says Victor.
3 of the 5 parts found
    "We are searching through buckets, jars. Everything we can grab pretty much," says Victor.
Laura then finds the 4th piece.
    "Enida burst in the room, hurt," says Alex.
    "Cedric is coming he's gathering his Promethean," says Enida.
    "I don't know what a Promethean is and don't wanna find out," says Deja.
    "There big robotic monsters," says Enida.
    "Did you hear that. There are giant robots coming to attack us, everybody," says Deja.
    "Then we gotta be quick," says Victor.
   "There are so many objects in the lab. I don't know if we're gonna find this part," says Alex.
    "Guys found it!" says Laura.
The group goes to the elevator and place the five parts on the pedestal.
    "We wait and the elevator opens and there are a robotic hand and a weird little gadget," says Deja.
    "So I'm thinking we have to put them into the bride," says Laura.
    The Prometheans appear and start to walk towards the group and Aayla shoots them with her gun.
  "The Prometheans are huge," says Matt.
Laura and Matt attach the arm and place the gadget like the heart in the bride.
    "She's supposed to come alive and seduce Cedric so we have that damn stone. But she's not moving," says Alex.
A chest opens and Victor reads the note inside.
    "You would never listen to me even though I was your partner. The thing you must add to your automaton to bring it to life is a real human beating heart," says Victor.
    "Maybe there's another heart we can use," says Matt.
The Prometheans grab Aayla.
    "We're here to help you," says Matt.
    "She just needs a beating heart. I was afraid to do before but, no longer. One of you will give up your heart so that she can live or all of you will die," says Cedric.
    "One of us real humans is gonna have to die so this robot bride can live. I call bullshit," says Alex.
    "Select two from among you to battle with my Promethean," says Cedric.
  "I have a great heart and I don't wanna waste it on this Automaton bride. I don't know her," says Matt.
    "Okay everyone I think we all know how this goes," says Enida holding the voting cards.
    "I hate this part," says Matt.
    "What if we all put our names in and she just picks two," says Victor.
    "Let's do it," says everyone.
    "Even if I'm voting for myself. I hate it. I don't wanna go into this," says Matt.
Laura holds her tarot card up to show the group that she voted for herself. Deja, Alex, and Victor do the same. Enida shuffles the cards and she reveals who is going into the challenge.
    "Alex," says Enida.
    "You can do this your one of the strongest out of all of us," says Deja.
    "I know that he can handle himself and I feel sorry for whoever has to go up against him," says Deja.
    "Who is my opponent?" says Alex.
Enida picks up a card and reveals who Alex's opponent is.
    "Deja," says Enida.
   "I am so relieved but I know it doesn't even guarantee us a stone," says Victor.
    "Okay," says Deja.
    "It's up to you guys," says Victor.
    "We're saying our goodbyes and I'm thinking this is probably one of the most brutal deaths," says Matt.
Deja and Alex hug everyone before they go into the challenge.
    "Someone's heart is going to quite literally be ripped from their chest," says Laura.
    "It sucks that I have to go into the final challenge but, I have to go up against Deja my best friend. It's so stressful losing your friends and knowing you can't do anything about it," says Alex.
    "I love Alex to death but I do not care who I'm up against I'm winning this challenge and getting out and going home," says Deja.
Deja and Alex are walked to the boiler room underground by Two Prometheans.
    "You must try to bring the steam machine to life. For every puzzle, you solve a Promethean takes one step closer to the other guest. Solve all four and then pull the lever. The harder you work the faster you kill your friend," says Alex.
    "This is the only way to get the stone," says Alex.
Aayla shoots her gun up in the air and the challenge starts.
    "There are blueprints and I'm trying to figure out what it is and I see this pump on the floor and it shoots up a ball," says Alex.
Alex completes puzzle 1.
    "As Alex gets done his puzzle the Promethean get's closer to me," says Deja.
Deja then completes her first puzzle and the Promethean steps closer to Alex. Score 1-1.  Then Deja completes puzzle number 2 leading the way 2-1.
    "I'm getting a little frustrated because I've been figuring out everything a little more quickly and Alex can see everything that I'm doing," says Deja.
Alex completes puzzle 2. Making the score 2-2.
    "As soon as I plug the wire into the outlets the bottom chamber opens up revealing a toolbox," says Alex.
Score 2-3, Alex.
    "You trying to help me out fam?" says Deja.
"She's call out for help and my heart is saying help her out," says Alex.
Alex helps Deja complete puzzle three making the score 3-3.
    "Deja is completely flustered, stressed out she looks like she's almost given up," says Alex.
    "I'm really falling behind I'm really struggling and I kinda yell to Alex, hey wanna help me out?" says Deja.
    "Turn your box over," says Alex.
    "I'm shouting hints to Deja but, there's no catching up now," says Alex.
    "I'm putting my puzzle as fast as I can I'm pretty far," says Deja.
    "I don't want you to die but one of has to," says Alex.
Alex then completes his last puzzle making the score 3-4.
   "I don't know how far he is. Then all of a sudden I see him stand up and my heart drops," says Deja.
    "Alex no!" says Deja.
    "Pun intended," says Deja.
    "Alex give me another minute please," says Deja.
    "I feel horrible that Deja is about to die but, better her than me," says Alex.
Alex pulls the lever and the steam machine is activated. Then the Promethean goes towards Deja.
    "Wait, no, no! Wait please no!" screams Deja.
    "Wait no!" screams Alex.
Alex is being held back by the other Promethean.
    "Deja!" screams Alex.
    "No!" screams Deja.
The Promethean then pins Deja to the floor and rips her heart out. Cedric walks out and everyone starts to walk back to the lab.   
    "I've never seen a human heart ripped out of someone's chest. I'm just glad it wasn't mine," says Alex.
*Back At The Lab
The Prometheans walks in.
    "He has a heart," says Laura.
    "Where's Alex, where's Deja?" says Matt.
Alex walks in and joins the others.
    "Oh gosh. Is that Deja's heart," says Laura.
Cedric then put's Deja's heart in the bride she then comes alive.
    "Now give us the stone," says everyone.
Cedric then gives the Aquarius Stone to Victor.
    "Deja's death means that we are one step closer to getting out of this reality," says Alex.
    "Let's put the stone in," says Victor.
Matt puts the Aquarius Stone in between Capricorn and Pisces.
    "What day is it in our reality?" says Victor.
    "It is August 1st. You have been here for 10 Weeks, but in this reality only 10 hours," says Enida.
