The Smole: 56.02-Who keeps leaving all the doors open?

In the first episode, 10 new contestants had to run while being chased by a virtual beast while answering trivia questions. Ultimately, only Sonya, Jesse, Raymond and Gordon succeeded, leading to 80/200 points for the first mission. 6 of them couldn't outrun the beast, but can they outpace the Mole or will they be the first to be executed?

This season takes place in an idyllic village in Northern Finland - Ainali.

And this humble abode will be where the contestants will be staying in. The contestants get a chance to shower and settle in for the rest of the day before they have to take the first quiz of the season.

Gordon: "Can you believe this place? There isn't even a bar! It's such a downgrade from my mansion."

Jesse: "I think it's fine. It's definitely much larger than my house."

Gordon: "Oh yeah, you and your sister went hitchhiking across the country?"

Jesse: "Yeah. That was about 10 years ago."

Gordon: "Wait, how old are you now?"

Jesse: "21."

Gordon: "So you guys decided to go on a foot tour when you were teens? That's mad."

Jesse: "It wasn't really by choice."

Jesse: "We had to relocate ever since our parents died in a tragic accident. Sonya wasn't going to let the 3 of us get separated by the foster care system."

Una: "Who keeps leaving all the doors open?"

Gordon: "3 of you?"

Jesse: "Yep. We have a younger brother. He's going to college."

Una: "What are you guys talking about?"

Gordon: "Jesse's life."

Gordon: "What's the big deal about going to college?"

Jesse: "He's the only one from our family to have gone to college, or be going to college."

Gordon: "College is overrated. Look at me. I'm much more successful without a useless paper degree."

Jesse: "I'm forever indebted to Sonya for having to raise us when she herself was still a teen. So I made sure to get a job as soon as I could to repay her and help with the family load, even if that meant skipping college."

Gordon: "That's so touching. You know how you can better help the family though? By investing. If you invest a Simoleon every day for 6 months, you could get a return of over 200%."

Una: "That's a scam."

Gordon: "Don't knock it till you try it."

Jesse: "What do you invest in?"

Gordon: "Crypto, bro! That's where the money's at. You could use it to buy yourself better clothes too."

Una: "That's something I can get on board with. What the hell is that getup?"

Jesse: "Hey, it's pre-loved! Sonya specially sewed this vest for me!"

Una: "It'll get old and worn out eventually."

Jesse: "It already has, but she helps to sew the patches on. It has sentimental value."

Jesse: "I may not be highly educated but if there's one thing I know, it's gratitude. My sis was basically my father and mother all in one. Because of her selfless sacrifices I can be who I am today. No bond in this world is stronger than ours. I believe that we'll be an unstoppable force."

Raymond: "Ooh, double bed."

Rhea: "I call dibs!"

Raymond: "That's okay. I'll take the single bed by the corner."

Mason: "Already taken."

Raymond: "Oh. I guess I'll share a bed with you then. Hope you don't mind."

Rhea: "I mind."

Raymond: "Oh. I promise to stay only on my side of the bed. Or I could take the couch if you really wanted."

Rhea: "Ha! I'm just pulling your leg. If anyone should sleep on the couch it's the old man for failing."

Mason: "Speak for yourself. You were the first one out, you quitter."

Rhea: "I do whatever the fuck I want, Mr. Monopoly Man. I bet you're the virgin."

Mason: "Where are your manners, young lady?!"

Rhea: "I took it and shoved it up your sweaty fucking ass."

Mason: "Are you trying to pick a fight?"

Rhea: "You would run out of breath even getting here."

Raymond: "Guys, there's no need to fight. We can talk this out peacefully."

Mason: "I'm a 40 year old man. What's your excuse? You're just a good-for-nothing punk."

Rhea: "Fuck you. I have cancer."

Mason: "Oh."

Raymond: "Oh I'm so sorry for you."

Rhea: "I'm not here for sympathy. Not that Mr. Monopoly Man knows what it is."

Raymond: "It wouldn't have hurt to be kinder."

Mason: "How was I supposed to know she had cancer?"

Mason: "Do I really look like the Monopoly Man? I don't even have a monocle."

Raymond: "The Monopoly Man doesn't wear a monocle."

Rhea: "Yeah I have cancer. Yeah it's terminal. So what? Not like you can do anything about it anyway. I'm not scared of death. I've come to terms with it. It just makes me appreciate my life and the limited time I have to do whatever the fuck I want. It also made me realise how pointless so many of the rules and etiquettes are. I'm gonna skip school and do drugs. Fuck them all. I'm gonna die anyway. What are they gonna do about it?"

Sonya: "What are you doing outside? It's raining."

Jenny: "Just admiring the view."

Sonya: "It's raining."

Jenny: "They say that the weather matches your mood. It's not matching mine."

Sonya: "Are you upset about the mission?"

Jenny: "Not at all. Of course we could have done better but we don't all have your level of fitness."

Sonya: "At least we can narrow it down to the six of you."

Jenny: "I wouldn't be so sure about that. I think there are so many ways to sabotage that first mission. You can do well and get off early so that the others can't observe your actions. You can distract the others by throwing question after question. And of course, you could always get caught."

Jenny: "Do you trust your brother?"

Sonya: "Of course. I've known him since he was a baby. I practically brought him up."

Jenny: "Were your parents not around?"

Sonya: "They...died early."

Jenny: "How?"

Sonya: "...Accident."

Jenny: "How tragic."

Sonya: We've gotten stronger since then. So I know him inside out."

Jenny: "You know him as a brother, not a Smole contestant."

Sonya: "You're trying to sow discord."

Jenny: "I'm just warning you to be cautious. You don't know who you can trust around here."

Sarah: "Do you need something from the dresser?"

Olli: "Yes. I left my journal inside."

Sarah: "It's so inconvenient that the top floor has to share a dresser."

Sarah: "Why do you always look so unhappy?"

Olli: "That's just my face."

Sarah: "My condolences."

Olli: "What?"

Sarah: "I know how it feels to be judged by your face. I'm a victim of this too. Everyone I meet, especially the kids at preschool, tell me I'm a grumpy old woman. It takes so much effort to warm up to a new batch of kids every year."

Sarah: "What I learned is that we have to force ourselves to smile more so that others perceive us as friendlier. We also need to take the initiative to talk to others."

Sarah: "...Well. How's the weather?"

Olli: "Warm."

Sarah: "Really? It's late fall. I'm finding it a bit chilly especially with the rain."

Olli: "You're just not used to Finnish weather."

Sarah: "You're a gymnast, right? That must be difficult with all that training, especially to make it to the Olympics."

Sarah: "Is it true that Finnish Sims hate socialising?"

Olli: "We just don't like small talk."

Sarah: "That's a shame."

"Contestants, welcome to your first execution ceremony. The Smole is a marathon, not a sprint, but if you don't gain enough of a lead you may become the Mole's first victim. Who will it be?"

"Sonya Maddox."

"Safe."

"Una Phobe."

"Safe."

"Sarah Ambile."

"Safe."

"Jenny Undertover."

"Safe."

"The last of the women. Rhea Durkin."

"Unfortunately, you are the first to be executed. Please pack your bags and leave."

Rhea: "Meh. I'm not afraid of death, why would I be afraid of an execution? I'll take one for the team. I decided to gamble it all on one Sim. It's either I go to the finale or I go home first. We know how that goes now. I'm rooting for the Mole to kick some butt!"

"Thank you for joining Rhea. We hope to see you again."

Mason: "She was a very prickly girl but once I learned that she had cancer, things began to make sense."

Jenny: "She has cancer? That's terrible."

Sarah: "Godspeed and God bless her. She's a fighter, and being a fighter also means knowing your limit and when to quit. We shouldn't have been so harsh on her in the mission."

The rebellious Rhea has been executed first! Who will be next?
