55.18-Come to papa

 Previously on the Smole,


Bobo: "Can you believe it Toby? We're in the final four!"
Toby: "Chyeah!"

~~~


Matilda: I'm this close to the finale and this close to winning the season. Watch out guys, Matilda is here to win.

~~~


Toby: "Come clean with me brahs. Are any of you the Mole?"

~~~


Bobo: Everyone underestimated me, even myself. Maybe I can pull off a big final surprise?

~~~


Bobo: "I didn't want to make too many mistakes so I was typing more slowly than usual. I can be sure that my part has no errors but I hope I didn't cost the group. If the guys can't finish the text then we won't get anything."

~~~


Cole: I just need to pick one of them and go for it. Either I'm in the finale or I go home with my head held high.

~~~


Matilda: "It seems we all think that the vets suck. We're trashing them."

~~~


Cole: "What does this even mean?"

~~~


Toby: Just a little bit longer and then I can finally say I'm a finalist of the Smole.

~~~


Matilda: "Is there something you wished you had done differently?"

~~~


"In total, 16 points have been deducted from your earnings to give 84/100 points."
Toby: "Eh, that's not bad."

~~~



The contestants did reasonably well in their previous mission, earning 84/100 points and making the pot 444/880 points. They soon have to face their final quiz. Only one veteran remains. Will Cole be executed or is he the Mole? Or is one of the newbies the Mole and outmaneuvering the veterans? Who will be the finalists of the Smole Season 55 and who will not?

Matilda: "Ew, who made a mess of the kitchen?"


Matilda: "Ew, who left their plate there and still hasn't washed it?"


Cole: "Both of those would be me."


Matilda: "Cole, you're disgusting."
Cole: "And yet you had a crush on me."
Matilda: "Ugh, can we pretend that never happened?"
Cole: "Fine by me."


Matilda: "But seriously, will you ever consider getting a girlfriend? Or a wife?"
Cole: "Maybe one day. Right now I just want to carve out a career for myself and do what I wanna do."


Cole: "Maybe you'll find some rich party-loving musician too. Or maybe you'll end up getting hitched to one of your flatmates."
Matilda: "Oh shut up."


Matilda: "You think you're a wise guy, don't you? Think you got the Mole all figured out?"
Cole: "Without a doubt. If you're still uncertain you wouldn't be here in the final four."


Matilda: "Spoken like a true veteran."

Matilda: "I have two suspects still. It would be really nice if one of them left now. I wonder how all these ex-contestants deal with this dilemma? I know I need to pick one now but I don't know which one to pick. Both are equally suspicious. Sometimes I envy the vets. They get a second chance and know what went wrong and what not to do this time. Then again, most of them are gone."

Toby: "Ow! My leg bro!"
Bobo: "Sorry! Did I wake you from your nap?"
Toby: "Nah it's fine."


Toby: "Rain!"
Bobo: "You're so excited for it."
Toby: "Chyeah brah! I love rain! Come to papa!"


Bobo: "I'm disappointed they didn't fill the pool."
Toby: "The pool is fake water. Chlorinated and all. Natural water is where it's at, brah."


Bobo: "Are you nervous about the quiz later on?"
Toby: "Chyeah a little. You?"
Bobo: "I'm freaking out right now. I have literally zero idea."


Toby: "Just go with your feel, brah. See where the tides bring you."
Bobo: "I'm not sure I want to leave it up to fate at this stage."


Toby: "Well you got here without April and Ruth, didn't you? You must have some idea."
Bobo: "Maybe but if I had my way, I wouldn't want them to be gone."
Toby: "If I had my way the pot would be so different. I'm really pissed that the pot isn't what I hoped."



Bobo: "There are some things in life we can't control. Like you said, see where the tides bring you."
Toby: "That's only 'cause I know I can't control the tides brah. I can control the pot. We can control the pot and we keep screwing it up by not planning it out exactly how it should be done and following through with it."

*
*
*


Toby: "I had a plan for every mission and even how many points we should have in the pot by now but so many didn't go the way it should have gone. Nobody really listens to me. They think I'm the guy version of Bobo so they don't take my plans seriously. Well I'm no guy Bobo and my grand plan is to get into the finale and win."

Cole: "The door was open so I let myself in. Hope you don't mind."
Toby: "Oh 'sup brah. Come join me!"


Cole: "You seem pretty relaxed."
Toby: "I don't wanna stress about anything right now brah. Just wanna clear my mind and keep it fresh for later."


Cole: "Where's your head at? Who do you think the Mole is?"
Toby: "Nice try brah. I'm not telling you that easily."


Cole: "I thought we were bros. Bros before hoes."
Toby: "What do hoes gotta do with this?"
Cole: "I wanna get rid of one of the girls. And we can only do that if we work together."


Toby: "Why do you wanna do that?"
Cole: "Because, err...because!"
Toby: "Oh you think one of them is the Mole, don't you brah?"


Cole: "Yeah. You got me. Heh heh."


Cole: "I think Bobo has been mucking up a lot. Or maybe Matilda is more suspicious? She did think a lot of fake news was true."
Toby: "Ms. H thought Bobo was pretending to mess up too but I thought Bobo's just being Bobo."
Cole: "Who did she suspect?"


Toby: "Are you trying to get something outta me brah? 'Cause if you are then you're not welcome in my room."
Cole: "No, of course not. Just wanted to have a chat with a bro."


Toby: "Bro! Bro bro bro! Bro...brah did you see that guy?"

Matilda: "I think I figured out who wrote that note!"
Bobo: "What note?"
Matilda: "The note I found at my door saying Bertha wasn't Bertha!"


Matilda: "Think about it. Who's the only one who could possibly have a motive and stand to gain by writing that?"
Bobo: "I don't know."
Matilda: "It's Cole! It's not me and it literally can't be you or Toby. Neither of you care enough to slander her name."


Bobo: "But why would he do something like that?"
Matilda: "Because he likes me. He knows I don't really like celebs so he's trying to find something else in common with me."
Bobo: "I thought he rejected you?"



Matilda: "I...oh. Good point. Then that's just strange. Was it just a practical joke?"


Bobo: "You just reminded me about something. A few days ago I wanted to look you up but then you got jilted by Cole."
Matilda: "Stop bringing that up!"
Bobo: "Sorry! Anyway, I wanted to know if you went to the Hidden Springs rave."


Matilda: "Yeah I did. It was fun and I don't think anyone realised."
Bobo: "So you really went without me..."


Bobo: "And then you had a party here and I was the only one that wasn't there. I thought we were friends."
Matilda: "That's not my fault. You forgot."
Bobo: "But you didn't remind me."


Bobo: "I'm hurt. It's like you don't actually want to be friends with me."
Matilda: "I'm sorry you feel that way Bobo. At most I'll invite you to all future parties."


Bobo: "Really? Thanks Matilda! I knew you didn't want to ditch me on purpose."
Matilda: "No problem?"

Cole: "Come on, come on..."


Cole: "Yeah! Cole 1, losers 0."


Toby: "Brah, you have Bobo on your side. How did you win?"
Cole: "By not letting Bobo ever have a chance with the ball."


Bobo: "In a few hours we have to take the most important quiz of our lives."
Matilda: "It's not the most important. I think the quiz after that is more important."
Bobo: "I just wanted to say that I'm glad to be here in the final four with you guys. There's no one else I would rather be in the final four with."
Cole: "Bobo, focus!"


Bobo: "Oops!"
Matilda: "Ha! It's even now."
Cole: "I think we're a strange bunch of would-be finalists, no? It goes to show that nothing is what it seems."
Matilda: "And that we're better than the rest."
Toby: "Chyeah brah!"

"Contestants, congratulations on making it thus far. It has not been an easy journey across two towns but you beat so many other newbies and even veterans to be sitting here tonight. Unfortunately, one of you must be executed right before the finale. Who will be the last one executed?"


"Bobo Fishdragon."
Bobo: "Oh man..."





















































































































































































































































































































































































































































"Unfortunately, you are the last to be executed. Please pack your bags and leave."
Bobo: "Oh no!"


Toby: "Bobo was an awesome contestant who is so awesome for getting so far. She has a mission to make the world happy and she has been our ray of sunshine throughout."

~~~


Ian: "A clown! Can you give me a balloon?"
Bobo: "Oh I would love to! Sadly I don't have any with me right now."
Ian: "What kind of clown are you if you don't even have a balloon?"
Bobo: "I'm headed to the claw machine. I could give you something from there."


Ian: "No I don't want a stupid claw machine prize. I want a balloon!"
Bobo: "I'm so sorry. Let me see what I can do."

~~~



Cole: "Bobo was so naive and so pure. She always sees the good in others and cares about all of us. She's the most genuine one here."

~~~


Bobo: "Toby! Are you okay?"
Toby: "I'm fine bro...ack...just got some smoke in my lungs. Ack!"

~~~




Matilda: "Although she was so clumsy and forgetful Bobo was always enthusiastic about missions and tried her best. You could tell she really enjoyed every moment of being here."

~~~


Bobo: "It's all in Latin! Supe...oh no, a typo on my first word. I should type more carefully."


~~~


Bobo: "I'm not sad at all. In fact, I'm really happy that I got a chance to take part and got all the way here. Even though I lost my coalition, I thought about them and what they said to do and that carried me here. In a way they were always by my side. I also got to make new friends and have so much fun. I couldn't have asked for anything more."
"Thank you Bobo. We hope to see you soon."


Bobo the clumsy clown has been executed! Which of the final three is the Mole: Cole Mirani, Matilda Smart or Toby Earlgrey?
