01x02 - Episode 2

[bunniefuu]

[soft twinkling and rattling]

[metal clangs]

[whimsical clockwork music playing]

[horn blaring]

[distant chugging]

It feels awful right now

because James and I are gonna be
the deciding votes

between Marcy and Moon.

We are gonna be giving our coins
to the same person.

And I don't wanna see
either of them go home.

[Willy Wonka] It's time
to cast the final coins.

[tense music intensifies]

This will determine who stays

and whose tour will end before it begins.

[dramatic sting]

[low humming]

This is a hard choice.
I think you all know that.

I wish I could save everyone.

I know how much you wanted this
and how much this means to you.

[music builds]

[music intensifying with rapid stings]

[lever creaks and dings]

[gears shifting and grinding]

[faint whooshing]

[contestants exclaiming]

[Joanne] Who are you?

It's very scary to know
that I could lose Marcy right now.

Who is it?

[gumball rumbling]

I know she desperately
wants to be a part of this,

and I need her
to be a part of this with me.

I need her by my side.

[whimsical music playing]

[Hunter] Every second that
I'm standing here,

the weight of the situation is just
starting to get heavier and heavier on me.

I just need my brother
to pop out of that gumball.

[music swelling]

[stretching and tearing]

[low bass hum]

[contestants gasp and exclaim]

-[Marcy] Joanne?
-[Joanne] Ah, I got it all figured out!

[both cheering and screaming]

[both laughing]

[crying] Oh my God.

[Joanne] Oh my God!

[contestants applauding]

[emotional music playing]

[Marcy] Oh my God!

Oh my God.

-[Marcy] I missed you so much!
-I know!

[both sobbing]

[Joanne] I can't believe
I have been playing without you!

[Marcy] I am so thrilled to be back.

I am eternally grateful

for Joanne putting herself out there
in an uncomfortable position

and to get me back in.

Look, it's a chocolate river!

[Marcy] It levels up our friendship.

-Oh my God.
-Can you believe this?

[Marcy] And I didn't know
it could level up.

It's beautiful. It's beautiful.

[Joanne chuckles softly]

[Marcy crying] Thank you so much!

[Marcy sobbing]

Thank you so much.

There's no world where I saw
my brother getting terminated first,

but all I know is
I've got to play even harder now

to stay in the game.

[Willy Wonka] Hunter, your brother's tour
has been terminated.

[tense music playing]

He will have to live out his days
as a gumball.

[sinister laughter]

Just kidding.

Or am I?

Anyway, as they say, the show must go on.

Rusty?

[plays a whimsical tune]

[water rushing]

-[Everett] Oh!
-[Garrison] Oh, this one.

-[Kayla] Oh no.
-[Everett] Oh gosh.

[Hunter] Now that Moon is gone,
I'm doing it for him.

[tense music continues]

[Tatum] My brain hurts. My heart hurts.

[Hunter] And I realize everybody's going
after that three million dollars.

[music swells]

It's game on.
I'm ready to play at this point.

[whimsical music playing]

[heavy footsteps]

[indistinct chatter]

-[Ava] This is the living room…
-Oh wow.

-…if you will.
-[Jeff] Right on.

-[Ava] Pretty cool.
-[Jeff] Wow.

-[Marcy] Oh my… Stop it.
-What? You guys have been living here?

[Marcy] Are you kidding me?

[Taylor] I've been stuck in a gumball.

[Ziad] Daddy's home!

After hours being trapped in that gumball,

I can't believe that I get to be here.

[Marcy] Shut up.

-[Joanne] There's things in cabinets.
-Can you eat it?

-[Joanne] Yes.
-Stop!

[Marcy] It's Wonka's world,
and we're just living in it.

But as we know, Wonka likes to play.

Anything could be a trick.
Anything could be a challenge.

You think you know,
but you don't know anything.

And so we have to continue
to build relationships in the house.

Your brother should be here too.
I just adore you.

Let's stick together.
Look after each other.

-We have to now.
-[Marcy] Yes.

Can I hug you guys?

-Of course. Come here.
-[Jason] Yeah.

We made the decision
to reunite Taylor with Bryce.

But Bill and Kayla
wanted us to save Moon instead of Taylor.

[Kayla sighing]

We believe we've made the right decision.

On the other hand, maybe some people
are not agreeing with our decision.

[Bill] Uh, what you making?

-[Kayla] I'm so upset.
-I know.

[Kayla] We tried to build an alliance
with people who think similarly to us,

but it's clear to me that

both Nick and Jason
aren't looking at this the same way as us.

We know now that we can't trust them

because they decided
to go against my wishes.

[foreboding music playing]

Jason and Nick made a mistake.
Kayla's a fighter all the way to the core.

[Kayla] All right, well, that was rough.

Oh yeah.

-[James] Do you need tissues?
-[Kayla] No, I'm good now.

I got it together.
It was just hard in the moment, like…

You make the decision
and then you have to follow through on it.

[foreboding music continues]

[crunching]

[Kayla] I feel betrayed.

[darkly whimsical music playing]

And now it's time for me
to return the favor.

I want payback.

[Bill chuckling]

He made an enemy with the wrong person.

[machinery clanking]

[horn blares]

[microphone static]

[Willy Wonka] Dearest guests.

Wonka's calling.

Tomorrow you'll be heading into
WonkaVision 2.0!

[all gasp and exclaim]

-What?
-[Joanne] WonkaVision!

The last time my tour included WonkaVision

was 50 years ago,

when Mike Teavee

encountered a…

[clears throat]

…small problem.

[loud gasps]

[Kayla laughing]

But don't worry.

The tech has moved on immeasurably
since then,

and now something only goes wrong

three times out of ten.

-[Bill] Oh, there's no way. There's…
-[Kayla] Oh my God.

To get you in the mood, my Oompa-Loompas
have laid out four delectable TV dinners.

[Marcy] Holy shmoly.

Choose wisely.

Because remember, you are what you eat.

[Taylor] "Eel or no eel."

[Marcy] Is that really eel?
There's no way I'm eating that.

[Ray] I… I remember TV dinners
back in the '60s and '70s.

They were never that good.

Uh… [chuckles]

So I don't think that's a good sign.

Okay, Jackson. Let's think about this.

[Jackson] Maybe our choices
will decide the teams in WonkaVision.

-I think we should choose separate.
-[Ray] Oh. Yeah.

I don't want us to be together and get…

-Yeah.
-…you know, eliminated as a group.

Get hammered twice.

-Exactly.
- Because we ate the same thing.

-You want the Club Sandwich, don't you?
-Yeah.

Okay, I'll… I'll take the duck.

-[Tatum] Tuna g*ng.
-Tuna. You wanna sit…

-Tuna g*ng.
-[Tatum] Tuna g*ng is over here.

Tuna club! [chuckles]

[Kayla] I put myself in Name That Tuna
with Nick and Jason

because moving forward,

I am keeping a much closer eye
on my enemies.

We got a dream team.

[suspenseful music playing]

-And Kayla.
-[Tatum] Yeah.

[dramatic sting]

-[rapid ticking]
-[James] Cheers.

-[James and Bryce laughing]
-[Taylor] Cheers.

Now that my brother's been terminated,
it's the most important time for me.

I've got to be very social
and to find my people.

[Bryce] Wait. We could be a team
right now.

You're right. We could be a team.

We'll figure it out.
No matter what, this is a fun team.

-So whatever happens…
-Yes!

-[Sasha] Hey!
-[Hunter] I know that's right.

-[Bryce] All right. There you go. Go team.
-[Sasha] Come on. Go team.

[dramatic sting]

Everybody got their advantages.

You know, Austin and I are strong
and super athletic,

but when it comes to social challenges,
they are not my strengths.

I'm very blessed with good people
in my life, and it makes a difference.

[tense music playing]

[Ziad] In this game,
anybody who's popular is a threat.

[indistinct chatter and laughter]

Going into WonkaVision 2.0,

I wanna be a little prepared.

I'm glad that we're not with people

who are just waiting every moment
to stab somebody in the back.

[music swells]

The eel was a good choice, right?

Oh, I'm a sushi fiend.

[Garrison] When did you start
eating sushi?

-[Ava] Oh yeah, six, seven.
-Like, six, seven years old.

[Ava] My dad has
always given me everything,

but in the last challenge, I saved my dad.

So I'm starting to believe in myself.

I am very smart, I am very competitive,

and I am a force to be reckoned with.

And my favorite food is the salmon eggs.

For an okay one,
you could pay $200 a person, so…

People might think
I'm just superficial or something,

but it's a performance.

[dramatic, whimsical music playing]

I want them to underestimate me.

I need to do whatever I can to win.

[dramatic sting]

[river rushing]

[vocalizing]

[hisses]

[faint chiming and whirring]

[squeaking]

[beeping and ringing]

[electrical hum surges, then dies]

[Jackson] Lights out now.

[powering down hum]

[bright music playing]

[birds squawking]

[water rushing]

[gears shifting and grinding]

[electrical hum]

[clanking and hissing]

[music swells]

[music fades]

Good morning!

[chuckling]

I couldn't sleep.

I couldn't sleep because of Marcy.

[Marcy snoring heavily]

[Hunter] Oh hell no.

It's Marcy.

[Marcy groaning]

[Hunter] Marcy.

Did you sleep good?

-Good.
-[Jason chuckles]

[Hunter] Oh, she was sleeping good.
That's for sure.

[Jason] How'd you guys sleep?

[Ziad] Great. Honestly,
there was some snoring going on.

-[Hunter] Marcy was…
-[Ziad] Singing, right?

[Garrison and Marcy laughing]

[Hunter] Gonna have a conversation
with her.

[Nick] That's who it was? Marcy?

[Ziad] Yeah. On perfect rhythm every time.

[Nick] That's what… Yeah, I saw.

[Nick and Jason imitate Marcy snoring]

[Hunter] Yeah. How are you doing, Marcy?

[Nick laughing]

[Hunter] I'm glad.

So when I hear the guys,

I am thinking,
"Okay, this is my opportunity

to throw Nick and Jason under the bus."

[Nick laughing]

[Kayla] Can we talk?

I'll say this is my perception,

-and you can do with what you want.
-Mm-hm.

With the coins,
Nick and Jason were very transparent

that they weren't putting
their coins on Marcy.

Right.

Now I saw them…
I saw them, like, talking about her.

-Oh!
-[Kayla] Yeah.

Interesting.

Nick and Jason didn't seem
to want to get to know myself and Marcy,

so I am wary of them.

-Okay, I'm gonna go get water.
-[Joanne] Oh, you're good.

-I love you.
-[Joanne] Nice chatting.

[Joanne chuckling]

I think Kayla and Bill have our back.

I can only hope I can trust that.

Obviously, there's been talk.

And how I view it is,

we are well-liked, and so, therefore,

we are a threat.

[laughing]

[rapid ticking]

[music and ticking end]

[indistinct chatter]

[plays a whimsical tune]

[Jackson] Rusty's here.

-[Tatum] Hey.
-[Everett] Hi, Rusty.

Rusty is in the house.

-[Nick] Let's go!
-[Tatum] All right! Let's go!

[Nick] Whoo!

[indistinct chatter]

-[Sasha] Whoo!
-[Ray] Here we go.

[horn blares]

-[Nick] Yo!
-[Ava] Oh my gosh!

[Garrison] The Wonkatania.

-[Sasha] Can we jump in?
-[Jeff] Wow.

-[Sasha] This is so exciting!
-[Kayla] This is…

[Jeff] Look at that engine.

Look at the power of this thing.

It's like running off chocolate.

[Ray] It is time.

This is awesome.

Getting to go on the Wonkatania,
it's like these mixed emotions.

[horn blares]

[Hunter] How many people get to say
they've ridden on the Wonkatania, dude?

At first, it's exciting,
and you're on the Wonkatania.

It's a dream come true.

But I have no idea
what this challenge entails.

[horn blares]

There's always that chance
of getting terminated.

-[Ava softly] Whoa!
-[Hunter] Uh-oh.

I'm the only single player,
so now it's a different mindset for me.

-[mechanical whirring]
-[Ava] Whoa!

[Hunter] Now it's game on.

[Ava] This is crazy.

-[Joanne] Where are we going?
-Rusty!

Because this is no longer just a tour.

This is survival.

[dramatic music playing]

[female voice] Prepare for final checks
of the WonkaVision studio.

-Cameras online.
-[glass squeaking]

[keyboard clacking]

WonkaVision generator initiated.

-Going live in five, four, three, two…
-[whirring swells]

[door creaking]

[low hum builds and swells]

Whoa.

[hum intensifies]

[dramatic music playing]

[Hunter] Oh. Mike Teavee!

-[Ziad] WonkaVision.
-Oh!

It's TV. It's WonkaVision.

-[Sasha] WonkaVision!
-[Gabrielle laughing]

I don't know
if I should be excited or scared.

[Joanne] Oh my gosh.

[Hunter] I remember this room.

This is where Mike Teavee was shrunk.

I'm back to being a kid

in a real-life Willy Wonka TV room.

This is insane.

Uh-oh. Someone's going in there, dude.

[Austin] Someone's gonna be
in a million pieces.

-[Ziad] I don't like that.
-[Garrison] Don't wanna end up there!

-[Ziad] Not going there.
-Five chairs.

[Austin] Five chairs.

That is huge.

[Willy Wonka] Welcome, guests.

Now there's only one thing
I adore more than chocolate,

and that is game shows.

So I've brought you here
to WonkaVision 2.0.

This is pretty cool.

Tried, tested, and dangerously close
to being safe.

[Shawn] Oh.

Oh. Uh-oh.

[static crackling]

-I'll take things from here, Mr. Wonka.
-[contestants gasp and exclaim]

Oh! What?

[chuckles] It's your man, Nick Cannon.

Is he actually here?

Give yourselves a round of applause.

-[Kayla] Wait, what?
-[all applauding]

-[Kayla] What?
-[all cheering]

[Cannon] Let me see who we got down there.

Hunter. The Lone Ranger.

Nick!

-Garrison. How you feeling, my brother?
-[Garrison cheers]

[chuckling] What up, Nick?

You seem really happy.

-[Cannon laughs]
-[Garrison] No way!

[Garrison laughing]

Nick Cannon is the host
of every big television show.

I watched him all my life.

And now he's working for Wonka?

What?

I'm beaming to you live from my house

because Wonka "couldn't find"
an extra Golden Ticket for me.

[upbeat music playing]

Now, everybody,

I hope you guys liked those TV dinners
Wonka sent around last night.

They were good.

But listen, as we know,
there's no such thing as a free meal.

[tense music playing]

So, get back
into those TV dinner groups, y'all.

Go ahead.

-[Austin] All right.
-Okay.

-[Ziad] Jackson, Everett.
-[Austin] Jackson.

-Name That Tuna.
-Name That Tuna.

[Ray] You knew this was coming.

All right, now each group
needs to choose one volunteer

to step up and test out WonkaVision 2.0.

[tense ticking music playing]

-[Ray] Oh my gosh.
-[Ava] Wow.

Ooh.

[Bryce groans] Oh God.

Honestly, guys, I'll do it.

I'm down to test it. Hit me with it.

I think being on TV would be kind of fun.
[chuckles]

I'll do it.

I wanna do it.

[Ziad] I'll do it.

My game is 100% to win
the lifetime supply of money.

So I'm diving headfirst
into any sick and twisted endeavor

Wonka wants to throw my way.

And best believe I'm ready
to make it happen whatever I got to do.

It can't always be bad. It's fine.

[Tatum] I can go.

[Kayla] You will? You're confident? Okay.

[Tatum] I don't know
if it's courage or stupidity,

but I wanna be a part of this game,
and I wanna play hard.

[gentle music playing]

All right, everyone,
have you made your decision?

Raise your hand.

One, two, three.

All right, we got our four. Great.

The rest of you, have a seat.

Tatum, just…
If you need something, look over.

We'll try to do
whatever I can do to help you.

I'm, like, nervous, but you got this.

-[Tatum] Thank you.
-Okay?

Now, volunteers,

get ready to beam
into the world's wonkiest game show.

[chuckles nervously]

[Garrison] I didn't wanna end up
like Mike Teavee.

A million pieces going from one side
of the room to the other.

[contestants applauding]

[Everett] Oh my God.

Wave goodbye to your friends.

You'll see them again soon.

I think.

[Cannon chuckling]

[Kayla] Good luck, guys!

-I'm so scared.
-I'm so scared!

[mechanical clicking and squeaking]

[female voice] Scanning initiated.

[Sasha screaming nervously]

[Kayla and Kellye shriek]

-[Ziad shrieks]
-[Garrison yells nervously]

Whoo!

[Tatum yells] Oh my God!

-Yeah, buddy!
-[loud slam]

[Everett] Hope they tested for radiation.

-[female voice] Transmitting.
-[scanner whirring]

[Garrison] Where they going?

[low hum building]

-[Garrison] Oh.
-[Sasha screams]

[scanner beeping and chiming]

[all shouting and exclaiming]

[static crackling]

-[Tatum] Wait, what?
-[Garrison] Wait… What are we doing here?

[all exclaiming and cheering]

[Ziad] Are we in the TV?

[chuckles] How did we get here?

-[Garrison] No, this is crazy.
-Okay.

-[Sasha] Look at that wheel though.
-[Garrison] Uh-oh.

[nervously] Uh-oh!

They're all on the same game show.

-[Jeff] Yeah.
-All right, now I'm scared.

[chuckles nervously]

[wheel rattling]

[upbeat game show music playing]

[cheering and applause]

-[Garrison] What up, Nick?
-Hey, Nick!

-What's up, Nick?
-Oh, sorry. Didn't see you there.

Thank you for the glam.
I… I had to do my glam, y'all, you know.

I don't wake up looking this pretty.
It's the Hollywood magic.

Anyways, welcome to Wheel of Misfortune.

[contestants exclaiming]

[Garrison] All right.

[Cannon] The game show
where some of the prizes are bad,

and the rest are worse.

[Sasha] Okay.

-[Ziad] Sounds about right.
-[Tatum] Whoa.

-[wheel rattling]
-[Sasha] Oh!

-[Tatum gasps]
-[Ziad] Oh.

[playful carnival-style music playing]

[wheel creaking]

[music stops abruptly]

Now, I have some good news and bad news.

The good news is,
you won't be playing for yourselves.

Wait, what?

[Cannon] But that's also the bad news.

You will be playing

for those in the TV room.

[all exclaiming]

-Oh my gosh.
-[Hunter] All right, now let's hear it.

That's right.

You four will be playing for them.

[Jackson] Yeah.

My mom's in there.

I thought that what I was doing
was noble and brave

and that I'm putting myself at risk.

Now I have the power to play a hand
in someone else's fate.

[dark music playing]

Here's how it works.

One at a time,

you'll choose a player from the TV room
and spin the Wheel of Misfortune for them.

[Kayla softly] Oh my God.

Whatever prize the wheel lands on
will go to that player.

[Sasha gasps]

[Cannon] There's a whole bunch
of misfortunate prizes to be won.

They're all bad,

but the worst of them
is the skull and crossbones.

[alarm buzzes]

That's the one you wanna avoid.

[sighs nervously]

Land on one of those,

and they will have to take a seat

in one of
our super comfortable harmchairs.

[upbeat game show music plays]

-[Kayla] Ah jeez.
-[Kellye] Ugh.

Did I say harmchair? I meant armchair.

[electronic beep]

I'm comfortable right here.

Players sitting in those armchairs
at the end of the game

will be at risk of termination
from the tour.

Oh my gosh.

[Cannon] Things just got real.

Let's terminate someone's tour.

[upbeat game show music playing]

[Cannon] Ziad.

-Yeah.
-You're up first.

[chuckles] That's so nice. Thank you.

-You're very welcome.
-[laughter]

Now, who are you playing for?

And tell us why?

[tense music playing]

Everyone's competition here,

and it would be stupid
if I didn't embrace this opportunity

to go after somebody
who is more of a social threat

for me and Austin.

Marcy.

-[dramatic sting]
-What?

I want you to know that I'm picking you
because you are the most positive person

I have ever met in my entire life.

[exhales deeply]

I'm picking you because I fully believe

that when I spin this,
you are gonna get the best prize possible.

[Cannon] Okay.

Ziad, let's spin the Wheel of Misfortune.

Ooh!

[cheering and applause]

[wheel rattling]

[dramatic game show music playing]

[Ziad] Come on.

Come on. Come on. Come on. Come on.

Come on.

[music swells]

[alarm buzzes]

The skull and crossbones.

Oh cr… [blows through lips]

[Joanne] Oh!

All righty then.

Are you kidding me right now?

I just got out of a gumball, dude.

[Joanne] Oh my God.

[Cannon] Marcy.

Please choose a seat.

[encouraging shouts and applause]

[dramatic sting]

Tatum. You're up next.

[tense music playing]

[Tatum] I feel sick to my stomach.

If I choose someone that I don't have
a close relationship with already,

well then that royally ruins having
any type of relationship with that person.

And if I choose someone I'm close with,

I'm also tampering
with a good relationship.

No matter what I choose,
this is a lose-lose.

I just hope they forgive me.

I am picking Jason.

You said you have my back,
and I trust you.

[Cannon] All right, Jason.

Let's spin the Wheel of Misfortune.

[wheel rattling]

[Jason] I don't feel that
it was ill-willed

that she's picking me to spin my luck.

I'm just hoping to land on something
that is not…

-[alarm buzzes]
-The skull and crossbones.

[all exclaiming]

[softly] Oh my God.

[sinister laughter]

[Jason sighs]

This is the fate that he deserves
for going against me.

[Cannon] That's two harmchairs
down already, but don't be sad.

There's still more prizes to win.

[upbeat game show music playing]

[Cannon] Garrison, it's your turn.

All right, Nick. I got you.

A fellow Nick.

[wheel rattling]

[Cannon] You just won Nick
a red licorice twist.

Step up and get your prize.

[pulsing electronic hum]

[chimes]

[Sasha] No way!

[all exclaiming and cheering]

[Garrison laughing]

[all applauding]

We have no idea what this thing's for.

I gotta choose Bryce.

Ava.

Everett.

[Cannon] Let's spin
the Wheel of Misfortune.

But it's a Wheel of Misfortune.
So everything's bad on it.

[Cannon] Red licorice.

[chimes]

Thank you. I think.

[Nick] I feel like there's gonna be
another Wonka twist that we're not seeing.

James, step on up.

It'll be fine.

[wheel rattling]

[softly] I don't think I can watch.

[Cannon] You just won James a key
to somewhere.

I feel like Poppy and I have
the same positive vibe.

I got you.

Just a reminder,
don't miss the mis in misfortune.

Wow, way to be a downer.

I think they're all not negative,

as much as you're saying they're negative.

Nick, I'm onto you.

Those those positive vibes
you was talking about, Sasha.

I'm feeling positive. Very positive.

[dings]

[alarm buzzes]

Another skull and crossbones.

Ugh.

[Sasha] Sorry, Poppy.

I'm gonna go with Jackson.

[wheel rattling]

Big spin, big money.

Oh!

[Jackson] Oh my God.

[alarm buzzes]

[Cannon] Skull and crossbones.

Great. Now we're both in the harmchair.

Having both of us on the chopping block,
it's a dangerous position to be in.

[Cannon] Sasha, you're up.

-Joanne.
-[cries] No!

Come on. Come on, wheel.

[yells joyfully]

You just won Joanne

a solid gold remote control.

[chimes]

[all cheering]

Do you think she's deciding
who's going home?

-[James] It could be.
-[Everett] There's five buttons on there.

Those prizes are not real prizes.

There's gonna be something
that comes with the prizes,

and that concerns me.

Bill.

-All right.
-[Kayla] Dad, you got it.

[Kayla] Oh my God.

Oh my God. Keep going!
Keep going! Keep going! Keep going!

[alarm buzzes]

Oh.

-Skull and crossbones.
-[Bill] There it is.

[Bill chuckling]

[tense music playing]

So now all of our harmchairs

are currently filled,

which means five people
are at risk of termination.

But the game's not over.

Even though all the chairs are full,
I do not wanna play the game.

I'm sweating.

[Cannon] Ziad. It's your final chance
to pick someone.

Who are you choosing?

Hunter.

-[Everett gasps]
-Jesus.

Oh, he's not gonna go in a chair.

[Ziad] You've had some bad luck.
You lost Moon.

I do not believe
you're gonna continue to have bad luck.

[wheel rattling]

[tense music playing]

[music swells]

[alarm buzzes]

[all exclaiming]

[Cannon] The skull and crossbones.

What does that mean?
There's no more chairs.

We're about to play
a dark game of musical chairs.

-Oh my God.
-[Everett] What?

-Nick, that's so mean!
-[Garrison] That's sick.

[Cannon] Hunter, you get a choice now.

Take one of the seats for yourself.

And whoever's seat that you take,
that guest will be off the hook.

-[Ray] Wow.
-[Tatum] Oh my God.

So it's time to switch places.

Who are you taking out the hot seat?

[tense music continues]

What would be the best move to make here

that would again
set me up later in the game?

Obviously, I'm super close with Marcy.

However,

the strategic mind in me knows

I've got to pivot
and form some new connections.

[sighs] Poppy.

[Ray] Ugh.

[all applauding]

[Hunter] Poppy was in my group
for the TV dinners.

He's a great, great man.

And since Jackson is already up there,

I just feel
this was the right thing to do.

I'm sorry, brother.

[Cannon] All right, Poppy Ray,

you're out of harm's way for now.

You may have avoided
a potential tour termination,

but I can't let you leave
without a consolation prize.

[chimes]

Love it. Love it.

[Cannon] And with that, the game is over.

Congratulations.

Unfortunately, that was the easy part.

Please join the others in the TV room
for the next phase, the hard part.

[tense music playing]

Or what Wonka calls his happy place.

It doesn't sound very happy.

[music swells]

[whirring and beeping]

[static crackles]

[low electrical hum]

[electrical humming and crackling]

[all exclaim]

[Joanne] They're back.

[all cheering and applauding]

[Kayla laughing]

[Tatum] That was crazy.

-I need to go to therapy after this.
-[Kayla] I have to. Definitely.

-[Kellye] I'm so sorry you had to do that.
-[Kayla] I get it.

I feel terrible.
I literally wanna bawl my eyes out.

There's two people
that might get terminated because of me.

[whooshing, static crackling]

Welcome back to the TV room.

Hope you all have your organs
in the right places.

Now, to the players in those armchairs,

strap in,

'cause you're in for a bumpy ride.

[Marcy] Oh my God.

[Cannon] Joanne.

Come forward.

-[Joanne] Oh jeez.
-All right then.

[Joanne sniffles]

[Cannon] As the holder
of the remote control,

you control the future of one
of the guests sitting in those chairs.

You must choose one of them

to leave the factory.

Oh!

[ominous music playing]

I knew this was a bad thing.

-[Nick] That's super messed up.
-[Joanne exhales deeply]

-[Austin] She has to choose one to leave.
-Are you kidding me?

[Cannon] With one press of the red button,

you will terminate their tour

and their chances
at a lifetime supply of money.

[Kellye] You're good. No wrong answers.

[Joanne] The weight of this decision
is so huge.

I mean, this isn't just a game.

Three million dollars

could change somebody's life forever.

And I am the person

who is going
to take that away from somebody?

Armchair experts.

If anybody has something to say
before Joanne makes her decision,

now is your chance.

Okay.

[Bill] Joanne…

My baby girl's here.

I gotta protect her.

Oh my God. This is so… so stressful.

I am very concerned for my dad,

but I've done everything in my power
to convince Joanne

Nick and Jason can't be trusted.

Go with your gut and trust it.

And it's okay, whatever you choose.

[exhales deeply]

And I love you so much.

Okay.

Usually a remote
turns off a show you don't like.

Now you can turn off a person.

[tense music swells]

Someone's tour…

will be terminated.

[tense, dramatic music playing]

Joanne.

Yes.

Have you made your decision?

[exhales deeply]

I've made my decision.

[music swells]

[inhales and exhales deeply]

-[remote clicks]
-[beeping]

[Willy Wonka] Jason,
your tour has been terminated.

[wheels squeak]

[all gasp]

-[Sasha] Oh my God!
-[Gabrielle] Oh my God!

[Bill] Whoa.

-[Joanne sobbing]
-[Marcy] You're okay, Jo.

[somber music playing]

Oh my gosh.

[Kayla mutters indistinctly]

[chuckling]

I feel like
I am the chess master right now.

[Nick] To lose Jason this early,
it genuinely sucks.

I wasn't expecting that.

And Joanne, you know,
who had to make the final decision,

I'm not out to get her
or anything like that, you know.

She just got put in a tough spot.

I just gotta process this
and, uh, just keep it moving.

[machine powering up]

[Cannon] Anyway…

It's time for me to beam off.

So that means you need to leave too.

Send Wonka my best,

and tell him I'm waiting
for my lifetime supply of chocolate.

Can't just brush me off this time.

A brother loves chocolate.

[static crackling]

[tense music playing]

[Joanne sniffling]

[crying] I'm so sorry.

It's okay. I understand. It's okay.

-[Jeff] It's hard.
-It's okay.

[sobbing]

I thought they would have a chance
to compete for something.

[Nick] It's all good.

I came into this game
wanting to do the right thing.

And I don't know if I did the right thing.

I didn't want Jason to go home.

And I played a hand in that.

[tense music continues]

[music swells, fades]

[soft whooshing]

[Marcy] Phew!

[Nick] I just saw my friend get eliminated

just because he didn't have
a good enough connection with Joanne.

[Joanne] What a moment.

[Joanne sighs]

A lifetime supply of money is at stake,
so I gotta be smart,

and I have to build relationships.

-Sorry about your boy, Nick.
-[Nick] It's just for…

-Appreciate you, bro.
-[Austin] Still got people in here.

Appreciate you, man.

It kind of sucks.
We'll really be all alone. Damn.

Nah, you ain't alone.
You guys already done a lot, so…

-Just keep moving. That's it.
-Yep. Yup.

-Keep on pushing.
-Only one in the end.

-We all go through it.
-It's luck.

[Nick] I got my eyes on the prize.
I'm doing this for Jason.

I'm gonna win this.

-I just wanna say no hard feelings at all.
-I'm really sorry.

You gotta do what you gotta do, okay?

[Joanne] I'm sure at some point,
it'll be happening to me, so…

-[Bill] Yeah.
-It's all good.

-Just gotta keep it pushing.
-You gotta.

And again, it's gonna spin around,
and who even knows?

[Nick] Literally. It is what it is.

James has the key.

And then five of us have the licorice.

And are we up for elimination?
Maybe, you know?

It's the Wheel of Misfortune,
so everything's bad on it. I don't know.

I feel something's gonna happen tonight.

-I feel like we're just gonna--
-Tonight?

We're gonna let our guards down
and all of a sudden…

-You think?
-Yeah. We're gonna hear a flute.

-[vocalizes]
-[laughs]

All of a sudden,
there's an Oompa-Loompa standing here.

-Yep.
-[Bryce] Dude…

[Joanne chuckles]

-[beeping]
-[man yells indistinctly]

[clicks and beeps]

[indistinct conversations]

-We need a sleep timey time.
-[Kellye] All right.

-[Tatum] Time for bed.
-[Ray] Night-night.

-[Jackson] Night.
-[Sasha] Good night.

[Willy Wonka] Attention,
licorice twist winners.

It's about to get twisted.

[Jeff] Oh wow.

Nick, Ray, Ava, Bryce, and Everett,

no time to rest.

You'll be performing a factory test.

-Oh no!
-Oh!

-[Everett] No.
-Does anybody want my licorice?

[all laughing]

[Ava] There is no just sitting back
and relaxing in here. No way.

Wonka gave me a big slap and said,
"Wake up. It's game time."

[suspenseful music playing]

[machine powering up]

[Ava] Oh!

Why is it so dark in here?

-[Nick] Oh, this is crazy.
-[Everett] This is creepy.

-[Everett chuckles]
-[Bryce] What is this?

[loud clacking]

-[Bryce] Whoa.
-[Everett] Okay, what's happening?

-[Nick] What is that?
-[Ava] Look at the gold hands.

-[Bryce] The gold hands?
-[Ava] Yeah.

I mean, look at these things.

It looks like one of those t*rture things
in, uh, Frankenstein's Castle.

It looks like a physical competition.
It looks really difficult.

I am 78 years old,
but I escaped termination once today.

So maybe I'm gonna be okay.

[music intensifies]

[TV static crackling]

[whimsical music playing]

[female voice] Guests…

Welcome to your training video.

[Nick] Here we go.

Due to an unfortunate issue
with Mr. Wonka's licorice twister,

you must operate
the licorice twist machines.

A true test of your endurance.

Step up to the plate,
grab the helping hands,

and hold on for as long as you can.

Because the first off
will be up for termination.

-Oh no.
-Guaranteed.

The last on
that stays on the machine the longest

is safe and will win an advantage.

So be warned,
to survive, you must hold on.

Now, good luck, and do get twisted.

Oh, this is crazy.

-[Nick] Come on, Poppy.
-[Bryce] All right, baby.

[Taylor] Oh my God.

[Kayla] You got this, guys.

[Garrison] Come on, everyone.

[contestants cheering]

[Austin] Come on, Bryce.

[Ziad] Ava.

[Nick] You know, with Jason already gone,
I gotta win it for both of us.

But I don't go on roller coasters
that do the loop-de-loop.

I do nothing that makes me dizzy.
I don't like being dizzy.

I get sick.
I'm freaking out on the inside.

But I'm telling myself, well,
as long as I don't get last place,

as long as I'm not the first one to lose.

I knew I could beat Ray and Ava for sure.

[Kayla] Nick is definitely
my biggest threat right now.

I need people here
who I know have my back.

And he is not in that category.

So if anybody has to fall first,
I am hoping that it is him.

[Ziad] Let's go.

[Sasha] You got this!

Oh, she's serious.

-[Tatum] Let's go, prima ballerina!
-[Sasha] Yes!

Come on, clean girl! Yes!

-[James] That's a winning look!
-[Kayla] You got this, Ava!

[Jeff] I am absolutely worried
that Ava could be terminated.

I will do anything for her.

I would have traded places if they let me.

But there's nothing I could do

other than support
and love and cheer her on.

It's a butt of steel. Let's go.

[all applauding]

[tense music playing]

[female voice] Licorice production
commencing in three, two, one.

Here we go.

[loud cheering and whooping]

[Ziad] Lock in, Poppy.

Oh, look at that licorice twist.

Here we go.

-[Jackson] Keep that… Stay centered!
-[Kellye] Come on, you guys.

Let's go!

Go, Poppy!

[Everett] Getting a little dizzier.

[Ray] Whoa, my goodness gracious.

[Jackson] Breathe. Come on, Poppy.

[Ray] Whoa!

[Bryce exhales deeply]

Focus! You got it.

This challenge is not a licorice twist,

it's more of a sickening twist.

However,

I feel like I'm a pretty solid, fit guy.

Then it's just like, how much grip
strength could you possibly have?

I'm going to fight for that money.
I want every bit of it.

So I will go until I black out.

[tense music builds]

Now this is getting a little disorienting.
I got to keep talking.

Great job. Great job.

Stay focused.

[Everett] I'm a little nervous.

Have you seen Bryce's arms? They're huge.

And my grip strength is so bad.

But I think this challenge
utilizes mental skill.

Hands, feet stay exactly where they are.

And so just relaxing a little bit,

lowering my center of gravity,

and just staying focused.

If you lose focus for a moment,
you're out.

I looked at
what the other folks were doing,

and they were
really latching on to the thumb itself.

Tried it. It seemed to work.

[gears shifting and clanging]

[Sasha] Wait, what's happening?

[female voice]
Increasing licorice production.

[all exclaiming]

[machine whirs faster]

Now, as we begin to pick up more speed,
it really began to hurt.

All of a sudden, I got dizzy,

and I couldn't grip the way
I really wanted to grip.

-[Sasha] Come on!
-[Garrison] Keep it up!

[Ray] I was really, really worried
about letting Jackson down.

I… I can't be first out.

[machine winding down]

[female voice]
Reversing licorice production.

[gears cranking]

[James] Okay, here we go.

-[Bill] I figured.
-[Jackson] Here we go.

[Everett] Whoa,
this feels totally different.

[Kayla] Ava, your feet!

-Open your eyes. Look at your feet.
-[Jeff] Get your feet reset.

-[Ava] What?
-Stay… Stay…

-Your one foot's about falling off.
-It's okay.

-[Kellye] You're right.
-[Kayla] Okay. You got it.

-[Sasha] You're good, Ava.
-Stay there.

[Ava] I was so confident at the start,

but this is one of the hardest things
that I've probably ever done.

Ava, stay in the place
that keeps you going.

It's difficult watching
your little girl struggling.

That's Ava. You are tough.

But she has a mindset of her own

that says, "I can achieve something.
I want to do it."

And she's relentless.

Ava, deep breaths.

[Ava] I'm trying to hold on
the best I can,

but I'm losing my center of gravity.

[Kayla] You got it, Ava.

[Ziad] You got it, Ava.

[Ava] I feel that moment
when your face goes white,

you have the cold sweats.

[Ava gagging and coughing]

-Ah, that don't sound good.
-[Kayla] Breathe!

-You got this.
-[Kellye] Come on, Ava!

[Jeff] You gotta get over it!

-Breathe!
-Get the air in.

Get the air into your lungs.

[Ava] And I feel like I'm going to…

[Ava coughing]

-Oh.
-[Joanne] Come on, Ava.

-Stop!
-[Ray] Hey, Jackson.

-Tell him to stop.
-Stop! Stop! Stop!

[Ava gagging]

[pensive, whimsical music playing]
