54.13-I don't like sand. It's coarse and rough and irritating and it gets everywhere.

 

The last time on the Smole, the final seven had to go to court to solve a case. Unfortunately, Agatha the judge made the wrong final verdict and cost 130 points, leaving the pot at 300/690 points. In the process, Arnold and Desmond got an exemption. Augustine had a chance to get a personal advantage for himself but he refused and he was later executed. Should he have taken it? Who will be executed next? Who are the Mole candidates?

Arnold: "So my coalition bud Augustine got executed. That sucks. Now I'm alone in the journey to get the highest pot for myself. Which as you can see isn't working out so well right now. Man we need to buck up. On other news, Beatrix moved to the vacant room and locked the door so that I can't enter. I don't know what her deal is but she better hold up her end of the deal."

Contestants will arrive at Hobart's Hideaway for their next mission. Once a prime resort, Hobart's Hideaway has since fallen into disrepair. The final six have to revive this resort and manage it for a day. They will be scored based on the condition of the resort, the profit earned and the customer reviews. An overall score of  70% or more will earn them 110 points. 50% - 70% and they get 55 points. Less than 50% and they get 0/110 points.

Claire: "I've never managed a resort before. I'm so afraid of screwing things up and dragging everyone down."

*

*

Desmond: "The front desk isn't managed. We need someone to manage the front desk."

Desdemona: "I saw an unmanned food stand outside as well. Someone needs to man that."

Claire: "Speaking of food, somebody will probably need to handle the buffet."

Desmond: "We also need a cleaning and maintenance crew. I think that's about it."

Arnold: "Beatrix babe, let's clean the VIP suite together."

Beatrix: "No."

Arnold: "Did you forget our deal?"

Desmond: "The lady said no. Respect a no."

Agatha: "I had a brief stint in customer service. I will manage the front desk."

Claire: "I will handle the cooking."

Desdemona: "I'm gonna manage the food stand."

Desmond: "I'll be the overall manager."

Agatha: "Welcome to Hobart's Hideaway: A humble resort where you will never leave."

Arnold: "Ew, I am not scrubbing that tub. Why is there even a tub here?"

Beatrix: "The food has gone bad."

Desmond: "We'll need to change it. I'll see what Claire is preparing today."

Arnold: "Sweet music."

Arnold: "And a sweet ass."

Arnold: "Hey there."

Arnold: "Hey sexy."

Valerie: "Where is the manager? There's a creep with a green umbrella."

Arnold: "I'm the manager."

Claire: "Let's see what I can make here."

Desmond: "Claire, what's for lunch?"

Claire: "Dessert."

Desmond: "Okaay...and dinner?"

Claire: "...Dessert. But it'll be good."

Desmond: "Alright. I'm going to check outside."

Desdemona: "Wanna be my first customer?...What happened to your umbrella?"

Desmond: "No idea. What are you doing now?"

Desdemona: "Swatting flies. Also deciding on the price."

Desmond: "I think we can set the price to be high to get more profits."

Desdemona: "I think low is better to attract more customers."

Desmond: "There aren't any customers currently anyway."

Desdemona: "Good point."

Valerie: "Hey you with the orange umbrella!"

Desmond: "I'm the manager here. Anything I can do for you miss?"

Valerie: "Yes. This fake manager is harassing me."

Desmond: "I saw a broken toilet. Go fix it."

Arnold: "What? But I don't know how."

Desmond: "Augustine's not here and you're the maintenance crew. And I'm the manager. So go fix it."

Claire: "Hmm, it'll do."

Claire: "In you go."

Desmond: "Claire, are you done yet? The guests are complaining about a lack of food."

Claire: "Give me a while more."

Claire: "The apple pie has been baked."

Cristobel: "Can you tell me a story?"

Agatha: "Of course. I will tell you the tale of the Kraken."

Cristobel: "What's the Kraken?"

Agatha: "It's a horrific beast with bulging red eyes. It swims in the sea, looking for prey to eat and drown. It strikes when you least expect it."

Agatha: "Do you see that man over there? He's a living tale of the Kraken."

Edward: "BooOooOOoooOOooo..."

Cristobel: "MOMMY!"

Arnold: "Hey Beatrix. Wanna have some fun on the beach?"

Beatrix: "No. I don't like sand. It's coarse and rough and irritating and it gets everywhere."

Arnold: "But you dug in the sand this season."

Beatrix: "That's why I don't like it."

Karlie: "Can I get a lemonade?"

Desdemona: "Sure. That will be 20 Simoleons."

Karlie: "20?! That's daylight robbery!"

Desdemona: "I can give you a 25% discount if you are willing to let our lord and saviour the Watcher into your life."

Teodor: "Barf!"

Desmond: "Ugh...I have to clean that."

Claire: "Sorry the kitchen is for employees only."

Royce: "I smell coffee."

Claire: "Do you want one?"

Royce: "Yes please. I love the service."

Cristobel: "MOMMY THERE'S A CREEPY OLD LADY STARING AT ME!"

Beatrix: "Gross. Tourists do not know how to take care of property."

Beatrix: "Finally all clean...what are you doing in here?"

Arnold: "Waiting for you of course. Don't forget our pact babe. I'm all yours. Do anything you want to me."

Beatrix: "Anything?"

Arnold: "Are you gonna come back babe? Babe? Beatrix? Anyone gonna untie and uncuff me?"

Desmond: "What the...why isn't this fixed yet? Where's Arnold?"

Karlie: "What are you doing?"

Beatrix: "Taking out the trash."

Karlie: "Yourself with it?"

Agatha: "I was thinking to myself, 'this could be heaven or this could be hell'."
Royce: "I'd like to check out please."

Agatha: "Then she lit up a candle and she showed me the way, there were voices down the corridor and I thought I heard them say~"

Agatha: "Welcome to the Hotel Hobart Hideway~"

Royce: "But I'm checking out."

Agatha: "You can check out at any time but you can never leave~"

Desmond: "I'm the manager here. Is there anything I can help you boys with?"

Joel: "Why isn't there proper seating for me to do my homework?"

Desmond: "This is a resort sir."

Sean: "There are too many weeds here."

Beatrix: "It cannot be removed."

*

*

*

Beatrix: "I tried to look as busy as I could so that nobody could come and disturb me, especially not Arnold."

*

*

Desdemona: "Damn. Didn't make a lot of money here except from the desperate. Maybe I should lower my prices."

Desdemona: "I'll do that after I get dinner. I'm hungry."

Desmond: "Claire, you're done with dinner right? Can you help to weed the resort?"

Claire: "Oh, err, sure."

Teodor: "What the fuck?"

Arnold: "Wait, don't go!"

Arnold: "Can you untie and uncuff me first? And get my clothes while you're at it?"

Desdemona: "Remember to leave us a good review."

Royce: "I would but the front desk clerk wouldn't let me check out. She told me I can check out at any time but I can never leave."

Cristobel: "Play with me?"

Beatrix: "Children are not allowed up here."

Cristobel: "MOMMY! THERE IS A MEAN LADY BULLYING ME!"

Claire: "This area is fully weeded. Maybe I should clear up those bottles too."

Xavier: "Do you know of any good dive spots?"

Agatha: "There's Rocky Reef."

Xavier: "Done that."

Agatha: "How about Davy Jones' Locker?"

Xavier: "Where's that?"

Agatha: "Give me a moment while I try to search it up online."

Arnold: "I had enough of this."

Beatrix: "How did you get out?"

Arnold: "That's not important. You're gonna woohoo with me tonight or else."

Beatrix: "Or else I will break your hands and more."

Arnold: "You're not gonna deprive me of the only source of fun I have left. And you're not going to get out of the deal you made that easily."

Beatrix: "There is no contract."

Desmond: "Arnold! Let go of her right now!"

Beatrix: "What is wrong with you? Do you not understand that I do not like you? I detest you. I abhor you."

Desmond: "She took the words right out of my mouth. Are you okay Beatrix?"

Beatrix: "I do not need your help."

Desmond: "Of course. But if this man ever breathes in your direction again, let me know. I'll handle him."

Arnold: "You were the one who encouraged me to pursue her."

Desmond: "If I had known what a pig you were I would never have agreed."

Desdemona: "How long do I gotta stand here? My feet are aching."

Joel: "Did they change the buffet since lunch? I want more variety."

Agatha: "The day is ending soon. I should count the profit made."

Teodor: "Hey can you get me an umbrella?"

Arnold: "Sure bro."

Claire: "Ew!"

Arnold: "Here you go."

Teodor: "Thanks."

Arnold: "Why do you need to shield your butt?"

Teodor: "Why is that your business?"

Desmond: "Room service. Do you need a towel?"

Edward: "I'm a ghost. Do you think I need a towel?"

Desmond: "Forget I asked."

The day has ended. The guests have been asked to leave reviews and the overall rating is being tallied.

"Contestants, you had a busy day running a resort all by yourselves. It is time to find out how well you did. Let us begin with the reviews."

"Overall guests felt neutral about the stay. Rosemary Collins said that the front desk clerk was creepy and scared her child. Xavier Alvaro said that the front desk clerk was not very knowledgeable."

Agatha: "I hardly know about Isla Paradiso. Of course I will not be knowledgeable."

"The buffet reviews were mixed. Cristobel Collins said she liked having dessert for lunch and dinner whereas Joel Vidal lamented the lack of different food options. Royce Allani enjoyed the customer service provided by the food caterer."

Claire: "Thank you."

"The guests complained about the poor quality of the food stand and the expensive prices. They found the overall upkeep of the resort satisfactory but thought some of the maintenance crew were unprofessional. Karlie Goldberg cited the example of a maintenance crew diving in trash while Teodor Medina claimed that one of them intruded into his suite and stripped himself naked."

Agatha: "What? Was it Arnold again?"

Beatrix: "Who else?"

Desdemona: "Gross. You're hurting our reputation."

"The management was praised overall, but some guests spotted the manager arguing."

"Overall, you made a decent amount of profit of 309 Simoleons. The overall condition is also satisfactory. The overall rating is 68%, so you have earned 55/110 points in the mission."

Desmond: "It could be worse."

Arnold: "It could also have been better if we didn't fight."

After a busy day, the pot has become 355/800 points. The contestants enjoy the next day at their resort. Who will be executed next?
