In the last episode of the Smole, the contestants played chess against an AI. Ulrich took the role of a knight and was captured first. Peggy was a bishop and was captured next, forcing Sandra the rook to be captured immediately after. White Queen Edith tried her best but up against impossible odds she too was captured, leaving just one piece to fight the rest: the king. In the end, they were checkmated, earning 0/150 points and keeping the pot at 290/1100 points. Contestants have to undergo one more execution ceremony. Who will be the Mole's last victim? Who is the Mole?
Sandra: "There she is."
Sandra: "Peggy, regarding the previous mission..."
Sandra: "I think that--"
Peggy: "Before you continue, I have to tell you that I think we should stop sharing so much with each other."
Sandra: "Huh?"
Peggy: "I've gotten this far into the game. I'm going for the win. I can't have that if we know the exact same things. I won't be telling you any thoughts I may have."
Peggy: "I hope you understand."
Sandra: "I do. It was great working with you. We brought each other all the way here. Good luck."
Peggy: "...Good luck too I guess."

Ulrich: "Is that Edith? What is she doing up here?"
Ulrich: "Did she enter my room?"
Ulrich: "Mrs. Wickham! Mrs. Wickham!"
Edith: "I'm not deaf, you know. And for God's sake, you're not a child. Don't act like one and start running all over the place."
Ulrich: "Were you looking for something, Mrs. Wickham?"
Edith: "As a matter of fact I have. I've been searching the whole house for a chessboard. I want to play chess. I always win at chess. To have lost so badly in the previous mission is simply unacceptable."
Ulrich: "I don't think I've ever seen a chessboard here but I could be mistaken."
Edith: "It is rude to drink something and not offer it to me."
Ulrich: "It's a cocktail mix, Mrs. Wickham. I didn't think you'll appreciate it."
Edith: "Alcohol? Then it's even ruder to drink in front of my face."
Edith: "Come to think of it, you behaved like your brain hadn't fully developed in the mission. Were you drinking beforehand?"
Ulrich: "I wasn't."
Edith: "Then it appears that I have been thoroughly wrong about you. You really are just plain dumb. How did you get to become a successful furniture monopoly in Sweden? Was it nepotism? Or did you sleep with someone to get there?"
Ulrich: "I do not appreciate that, Mrs. Wickham. I got to where I am with hard work and foresight. It definitely did not involve any shady dealings you are implying."
Edith: "It sure doesn't seem like it to me."
Ulrich: "Mrs. Wickham, are you jealous of everyone? That is the only reasonable explanation for you putting down everyone who crosses your path."
Edith: "Me? Jealous? That is a poor joke, Mr. Zimmer. None of you have anything worth being jealous of."
Ulrich: "So you are admitting that you are unreasonable?"
Edith: "What? The nerve of you to imply that! I was hoping Ms. Das Auto's execution will restore you to normal but it seems that you have replaced her in being insufferable."
Ulrich: "I have better things than to argue with you. I have a finale to get into. I wish you a good day and a good bye, Mrs. Wickham."
Edith: "What an uncultured, ill-mannered man. How dare he walk away from a conversation?"

Sandra: "Mr. Zimmer, not studying for the quiz?"
Ulrich: "I've studied enough. I have all the information in my brain. I need to take a break and cool off."
Ulrich: "Care for a dip, Sandra?"
Sandra: "Sure. I was planning on going swimming anyway."
Sandra: "All work and no play makes Sandra very unhappy and repressed."
Sandra: "I wish Peggy was more like you. She's taking this way too seriously. It's like she can't turn off the game for a moment. I worry she'll overwork herself."
Ulrich: "She is just a very driven woman."
Sandra: "I know that but if your entire routine every day is just get up, eat, study, study, study, sleep, you're not going to be very happy."
Ulrich: "Do you speak from experience?"
Sandra: "Maybe. That was my entire childhood. I would go straight from home from school and do my homework. At first it was a rule by my protective Dad, but then I got used to it and when he released the reins I still did the same out of habit. I had friends and all but I hardly hung out with them outside of school. I'm not complaining about my Dad or my life. I was valedictorian after all and I wasn't unhappy...but I wanted an adventure. I felt like I needed a life. Then it went downhill from there."
Ulrich: "Do you hate the racers?"
Sandra: "No, not really. Part of me enjoyed it. Sometimes I want to buy a sports car and then go crazy on the road but I know better than to put the lives of others at risk. Anyway I'm too poor to afford a car like that. Now I just fulfil the adrenaline rush by playing racing games."
Ulrich: "Do you have a boyfriend now? What? Did I ask the wrong thing?"
Sandra: "No, I was just caught off-guard. I'm happily single but that's because I said to myself to bring every future boy home to Dad for screening first."
Ulrich: "How do you do that now?"
Sandra: "I bring them to the cemetery and see if they get scared by my Dad's ghost. Hey!"
Sandra: "Talking to you makes me feel better. You have that effect on others, you know?"
Ulrich: "It doesn't seem to work on Edith."
Sandra: "Screw Edith. She's just a mean old lady with a horribly repressed and twisted childhood or something. If she chose to be rude to you of all of us, then she's officially gone bonkers."
Ulrich: "Should I be afraid? Is it contagious? Did you catch it?"
Sandra: "Shut up, you."

Edith: "Mrs. Vox, I need you to find my favourite pen."
Edith: "Mrs. Vox, I am talking to you. You cannot ignore me."
Edith: "Stop ignoring me!"
Sandra: "Peggy went swimming with me and now she's got swimmer's ear. She's a little deaf now because her ears are clogged with water."
Edith: "Then I'll stand right in front of you until you notice me."
Peggy: "OH MRS. WICKHAM. WERE YOU LOOKING FOR ME?"
Edith: "I'm not deaf! Are you trying to make me deaf? Anyway, I can't seem to find my favourite pen. It has a tulip sticker on it. I need you to find it."
Peggy: "WHAT?"
Edith: "I said..."
Peggy: "WHAT? I CAN'T HEAR YOU! MY EARS ARE VERY CLOGGED RIGHT NOW. IT ALL STARTED BECAUSE SANDRA AND I DECIDED TO GO SWIMMING ONE DAY IN THE POOL BECAUSE NOBODY WAS USING IT..."
Edith: "Oh forget it. I'll search for it myself. Or I'll ask Ms. Rius to help."
Peggy: "Oops, sorry Sandra."
Sandra: "Crap."
Peggy: "I can't believe it worked."
***
Peggy: "To help me deal with Edith Sandra came up with a plan. I would pretend to be unable to hear and annoy Edith. I gave her a taste of her own medicine and it worked. She left me alone. Good thing she did too. I couldn't crap out a long story to talk about for much longer."
***
"Contestants, very soon you will be in the finale. For three of you, this is still uncertain but for the Mole, it's been a long-awaited ending. The pot is very low at the moment and it seems that there may be more than one Mole in the group but I assure you that there is only one Mole."
"Ulrich, why may you be the Mole?"
Ulrich: "Well, I always think things through. Every decision I make and everything I do is intentional. I can also appear to be more naive than I really am and can get the trust of everyone else. This lets me sabotage and get away with it more easily."
"Peggy, why may you be the Mole?"
Peggy: "I'm smart but because I'm a housewife I'm easily underestimated. I play very hard and am willing to sacrifice a lot of points in the process in order to win."
"Sandra, why could you be the Mole?"
Sandra: "We're all smart here but what matters is the ability to read others. My job gives me plenty of experience reading others and dealing with Sims who try to lie to get out of a ticket. I can see through the tells and signs of lying, which means I know exactly what to avoid to not get caught."
"Edith, why could you be the Mole?"
Edith: "I can't be because I'm not the Mole. The Mole is a despicable role and anyone with the faintest of scruples wouldn't consider taking on such a dirty job."
"Four possible Moles but only one actual saboteur. Who is it? I hope all of you have answers because it is time to take the quiz."

"Contestants, this will be your final execution ceremony of the season. Three of you will be known as the finalists of Season 46 while one of you will miss the annals."
"Sandra Rius, you took 3 minutes and 49 seconds. You are officially..."
"...the last to be executed."
Sandra: "I should have seen it coming. My mistake was spreading when I had the exemption. It came back to bite me in the ass today. I wouldn't be too surprised if it came down to a tie and I was slower too. It's too late to change anything now. I enjoyed myself and am happy to have made it so far. Congratulations to the finalists and I wish you all the best. And to the Mole, I applaud you for a job well done this season."

Sandra: "We have the first-mover's advantage. It's important we make the right first move."
***
Sandra: "I have to move forward. Otherwise I will be out too."
***
Sandra: "Good job Mrs. Wickham. You played well."

"Thank you for joining, Sandra."
