“One of you three will be the last to leave tonight. Who shall it be?”

“Skye Lowe.”

Skye: “I’m safe and outta here.”

“Heather Long and Dominic Kaliton, one of you will be leaving this house for good.”

Dominic: “At least let me have a bath first. I need to leave my grandest!”

“Heather Long!”

Dominic: “Yes!”

Heather: “What are you happy about? I’m safe and you’re executed!”

Dominic: "Wha..."

“Yep. Dominic Kaliton, you are the last to be executed. How do you feel about being so close?”

Dominic: “Visibly upset and angry with myself. I was so close! And then I could prove that I’m as good as, if not better, than Dominica!”

“What do you think caused you to lose at this juncture?”

Dominic: “Cockiness? Too full of myself, maybe. Plus I was lost after Eugene left and I knew I was a goner, even more so when Jo was exempt. And I guess the fact that despite trying to choose the majority options, I ended up choosing a male mole.”

“What will be your last words to the houseguests?”

Dominic: “Do your best everyone. I’m sure you’ve gotten the Mole already. To Skye, please try to be nicer to everyone. You’ve gotten a great chance to redeem yourself by making it to the finale. To Heather, use your intelligence wisely to help you win and try to earn back as many points as possible. We only have 870/2070 points, which is way less than half. And to Jo…can I speak to her personally?”

Dominic: “For you Jo.”

Jo: “A gift? Thanks!”

Jo: “What is it?”

Dominic: “All your albums. I specifically bought them because I’m your fan and brought them here. Now, I’m giving them back to you. I hope you’ll return to your roots and re-ignite that passion for singing. Your voice is heavenly and it is a shame if you switch to acting and stop singing entirely.”

Jo: “Why, thanks. I don’t know what to say.”

Dominic: “I guess I didn’t need to win the money anyway.”

“Thank you for joining Dominic and we hope to see you at the finale!”

Skye: “You think you’re so great aren’t you? Writing so many articles for justice. I think you’re just a snob who’s an attention-seeker!”

Heather: “I am not! I know what I did may have hurt you, but you are the evildoer in the first place!”

Skye: “So? Shouldn’t everyone get a second chance? You were given 2 second chances to get you this far!”

Heather: “Even if it’s not you, the Organisation needs to be brought down!”

Skye: “Blah blah. I’m not interested in any of your excuses.”

Heather: “I’m hoping we could still be friends, but looking at the current situation…”

Skye: “We could never be friends the moment you had your motive to get close to me! I don’t know how you knew I was part of the Organisation or why you chose to hurt me like this, but we were never friends, and will never be. Congrats, you’ve just found yourself another enemy.”

Skye: “You’ll be in for a big surprise when you get home.”

Heather: “We all got this special ticket to bring us to the finale. Let’s focus on winning and forget any hatred and all, shall we?”

Skye: “Like real you would. I should have seen through you earlier.”

Heather: “I’m sorry, okay? I regret doing this to you. I knew it would hurt you too much but I guess I was too focused on career.”

Skye: “Sorry? I don’t accept your f****g apology! You can go and eat **** for all I care!”

Jo: “A penny for your thoughts?”

Skye: “Go away. I want to be left alone.”

Jo: “No. You need to get whatever it is off your chest.”

Skye: “You won’t leave? Then I will.”

Jo: “Stay and play with me, please? I promise you won’t have to see me again after this.”

Skye: “Promises are always broken. But I’d see if you’d honour it.”

Jo: “Yes!”

Skye: “You seem happier.”

Jo: “I do, don’t I? I owe it to Dominic. He helped me face up to my past and get over it. He rekindled my love for music and singing. I used to be very tense and guarded, always a shy worrywart. Now my heart feels so much lighter thanks to him.”

Skye: “He changed you a lot. Must have taught you a lot of things.”

Jo: “He did. And although our relationship was on the rocks when I started seeing his flaws, I look back at the happy times we shared and how he helped me, and I know to close one eye to them and accept him for who he is.”

Skye: “He changed you for the better.”

Skye: “Don’t you think life is like a play? He raises you up then throws you down. She built up trust and opened my heart, only for her to exploit it and cause a bigger hit than I could ever imagine. She betrayed me.”

Jo: “I’m sorry to hear that.”

Skye: “I don’t need your sympathy. You’re a lucky girl to have met the right guy to change you and help you face the world without any worries. I’m the unlucky one. I always am. But I’ve already got an idea on how I’ll solve this.”

Jo: “I hope you don’t do anything foolish.”

Skye: “Like you care.”

Jo: “I do!”

Skye: “I don’t need your concern! The game is over.”

Heather: “What’s this? Oh, it’s by the editor…what? Rejected? Why was my article rejected? Not substantiated? Cannot establish credibility? Too much imagination? I’ve a real life witness here! How dare he! So my efforts come to naught?”

Who will win this season of the Smole? Who is the Mole? Will they be able to savour the fruits of their labour?
