The Smole: 56.03-I don't get good vibes

Previously on the Smole,

Rhea: "I...I can't do this...any more...I quit."

~~~

Raymond: "Name a Finnish president? How would I know? I'm not from Finland."

~~~

Sarah: "I couldn't run fast enough or answer enough questions correctly."

~~~

Raymond: "Does anyone know which state Boston is in?"

Jesse: "Texas."

Sonya: "No it's Massachusetts."

Jesse: "Oh I thought he said Austin."

~~~

Gordon: "Which two contestants have hitchhiked across a country?"

Jesse: "That's me and Sonya!"

~~~

Olli: "I'm caught."

~~~

Gordon: "All of a sudden I was the only one left. All eyes were on me."

~~~

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."

~~~

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."

~~~

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."

~~~

"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."

~~~

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

~~~

The contestants had to do trivia on a treadmill, to which 80/200 points were earned. Rhea was the first to quit the mission and later the first to be executed. Who is the Mole that cruelly executed her? Who will be the next victim?

Una: "I don't get good vibes from Gordon. He's such a flirt. I share a room with him and him only so I drew boundaries. He then came up with some weird reasoning on how he is in complete control of his urges. Something about transference to investing instead. I don't remember but he's weird."

"Good morning contestants. Today I need 7 Sims with a wide repertoire of songs and 2 who feel like doing crosswords."

Mason: "I work at a mall. I hear all kinds of music."

Sonya: "That's only one kind: mall music."

Olli: "I am not familiar with songs but I am less familiar with Simlish language."

Sarah: "It's easier if we just choose the two crossword puzzlers. I'm willing to be one."

Raymond: "I'm willing to be the other one if nobody else is willing to."

Jenny: "You're the trivia nerd. You have a lot of general knowledge which may be useful in the larger group. I think Mason should do it."

Mason: "Fine."

Today's mission is all about songs. The seven contestants have 30 minutes to sing as many songs as they can given prompts. However, they sing in a chain. If one of them sings an inapplicable song or repeats a song that was previously sung, the chain would break and reset. At the end, the longest chain will be counted. Every song in that chain would earn 1 point. They can earn up to 100 points in this mission. Each of them can hear the Sim immediately after them in the chain.

As for Sarah and Mason, they will be at Ainali Public Library. They will be solving crossword puzzles to get special songs that are worth 11 points each. This extra amount is only valid for one use per song.

They also each get player that plays what the other contestants are singing. To listen to one of them, they need to press the corresponding button:

1 - Sonya

2 - Raymond

3 - Una

4 - Jenny

5 - Olli

6 - Jesse

7 - Gordon

However, this being a public library, they have to keep their volume down. This means that only one of them can play the player at any time. Unfortunately, the other contestant would be too far to hear the player.

Sarah: "I solved my first crossword puzzle too. Another extra song: IMAGINE."

Sonya: "Whenever an extra song is found, all of us received a second prompt on our screens for 30 seconds. We couldn't communicate back and forth so it was difficult trying to coordinate who would sing it, but we did find ways to get around it. I was pointing to Raymond to sing it."

Sarah: "That sounds like a good idea. If only you had suggested that earlier."

=== Songs you would hear at a church ===

Current chain: 2

Una: "I'll be needing stitches~"

Raymond: "Crap, Una sang it too."

Jesse: "There they are."

"Contestants, we got to spend a wonderful morning listening to unchained melodies and a cacophony of crows. How much has that paid off? Your longest chain was 11, but there were 3 songs worth 11 points in that chain, so you earn 41/100 points for this mission. We will be counting 'Once upon a dream' which was sung before it was found."

Raymond: "That's a nice surprise."

The mission brought the pot up to 121/300 points. Was the Mole to blame here? Who is the Mole?
