60.10-My husband is an inferior copy of me

 The last episode had the contestants entering teleporting dive wells in search of points. While not all escaped and not all points were retrieved, 75/100 points were added to the pot to make it 142/400 points. Kearney found a bingo square but will he use it? The contestants also met Preethi Darwin. Is she the Mole?

Preethi: "My husband is an inferior copy of me. I'll finish what he started and I plan to go all the way. At least he laid the groundwork."

*

*

*

Darleen: "I'm positive I explored every nook and cranny. I can't think of how we missed 25 points...unless the Mole hid them!"

*

Trenton: "Good morning Luis! How's a fine man like you doing today?"

Luis: "Sore. Say, you want pancakes?"

Trenton: "Didn't Kara already make some yesterday? It's still in the refrigerator."

Luis: "Leftover food is bad for your health and not tasty. Between you and me, I think mine is better. I don't know what she adds to her food."

Luis: "It's such a peaceful morning. I never had a chance to properly enjoy the process of cooking or my food. It was always tied to work and satisfying others."

Trenton: "What do you hope to do now in retirement?"

Luis: "Enjoying good food and fishing. And maybe find some like-minded Sims to talk to."

Trenton: "I can be that Sim."

Luis: "You don't even live in Monte Vista. Hell, you don't even live in this timeline!"

Luis: "Are you really from the future?"

Trenton: "Of course! I'm the most well-known man. Next to the founder Anthony Cross."

Luis: "Can you tell me about my future? Will I die alone?"

Trenton: "I'm not a fortune teller...but the Toledos don't exist in Lunar Lakes."

Luis: "Oh..."

Trenton: "But that's not to say you'll die alone. You're already of a wise age, so I don't expect you to have any descendants lined up, right?"

Trenton: "Are you looking for a partner?"

Luis: "It would be nice to cook for two."

Trenton: "Let me help you."

Luis: "What's in it for you?"

Trenton: "Nothing. I'm just a helpful man."

Luis: "I don't trust an Alto."

Trenton: "I'm not like the others, trust me. I may not be able to help you now but I have lots of connections. I'm sure I'll be able to find the one for you once I return."

Darleen: "Kara! What did you do to the bathroom?"

Kara: "I took a dump and then a shower. Why?"

Darleen: "It needs cleaning."

Kara: "Looks fine to me."

Darleen: "Can we talk somewhere else?"

Kara: "What if someone's eavesdropping? This is the safest place."

Kara: "How far along are you with your bingo card? I just need to score the highest in a quiz to get a bingo."

Darleen: "Here's my card."

Kara: "You're close to a bingo too!"

Darleen: "Yeah, but I can't possibly cause someone to be executed."

Kara: "What does that mean anyway?"

Darleen: "Someone needs to put me in the quiz they were executed."

Kara: "Oh, that's easy. You can get so many together too, like sabotaging missions. I can't believe you haven't started on that."

Darleen: "It's not very nice. I'm not the Mole."

Kara: "Not with that attitude."

Kara: "You need to stop being goody-goody. From today, you will be Darleen-maybe-the-Mole. I'll teach you how, right after you eat my lemon pancakes. You didn't tell me you were missing that square! I'll make one for you right now."

Darleen: "You don't have to."

Kara: "I insist. Unless you're snubbing my food."

Darleen: "Of course not."

Kara: "Trenton!"

Darleen: "Someone still eavesdropped!"

Trenton: "Perfect timing."

Kara: "What the hell? Are you trying to be a pervert?"

Trenton: "What? Of course not. I couldn't help but overhear a coalition meeting and I thought, what better time than now than to turn that secret coalition into an official one? Lewis is gone anyway."

Kara: "But Darleen isn't."

Trenton: "Exactly my point. We merge our coalitions into one. What do you ladies say?"

Kara: "I'm in only if Darleen is."

Darleen: "Since you asked so nicely, ok."

Trenton: "Excellent! You won't regret it. Now we just need one more Sim. Let me see if I can convince Preethi to join by association."

Kara: "You have a bingo card to claim, don't you?"

Trenton: "You got me. Hey, I helped with yours. Now it's your turn."

Kara: "It's your card. I met halfway; you find your missing member."

Trenton: "Hey! Pretty! Lovely weather to be admiring the roses, am I right?"

Preethi: "First of all, it's pronounced Preethi, not pretty. Second of all, why are you dressed like a weirdo?"

Trenton: "Me? Says the one in a pirate outfit...pardon me."

Trenton: "Anyway, I just wanted to inform you that we are in a coalition now."

Preethi: "Since when?"

Trenton: "Since Lewis was executed. We were working together, so now by proxy we are working together."

Preethi: "Nice try but no."

Trenton: "What would it take for you to join me?"

Preethi: "Tell me who you and Lewis suspected."

Trenton: "You'll get that information once you agree."

Preethi: "I thought it was a foregone statement? Guess it means I can actually decide."

Preethi: "So? Are you telling me or no?"

Trenton: "Well, I can't say for sure who Lewis really suspected, but we agreed on Kearney. I certainly put his name down in every quiz."

Preethi: "I see, which means it isn't Kearney?"

Trenton: "Who's to say for sure? But there's strength in numbers. Welcome to the coalition, Preethi."

Preethi: "Glad to join."

Kearney: "I cannot accept that I am being a dead weight to this team. I am supposed to be the hero! Yet I only brought in 5 measly points and a bingo square that is demanding I settle for less. Never! I may not have had the Mole in sight yet, but I will soon. And I will stop that Mole dead in his or her tracks."

Francisca: "There you are. I was looking for you."

Virginia: "What could possibly be so important that you feel compelled to disturb the tranquility?"

Francisca: "Sorry for interrupting. I was thinking about what you told me a few days ago about looking inwards and digging out conflict and turmoil for book material. I think I found it."

Virginia: "Pray tell."

Francisca: "You see...I have a secret."

Virginia: "Every man and woman harbors a secret. You’re not special."

Francisca: "Of course. But it's something I just can't tell anyone. They might look at me differently."

Virginia: "Interesting. I can relate. What is this secret?"

Francisca: "I have a secret identity. But I'm not ready to tell you just yet. I'm sorry."

Virginia: "And yet, you wish to pen it down in words for all the world to see. You are a contradiction, Ms. Vanderburg. Come to me when you’re truly ready to open up."

Francisca: "Wait! I was hoping you could give me some writing tips on how to make this an easier process. I want to publish a book just like you, Virginia."

Virginia: "Ms. Supine. And you will never be a great author."

Maru: "Woah that was harsh. Sorry, couldn't help but overhear."

Francisca: "All I wanted to do was to publish a book like her. I respected her."

Maru: "I know that feeling. I always get the feeling that nobody really respects me either, even though I could technically kill them."

Maru: "It's a joke. I would never hurt a fly."

Francisca: "Really? I heard you roughhoused a sheep a few days ago."

Maru: "I don't know what came over me. I'm extremely sorry about hurting those big ol' floofs. As an apology I pledge to stop wearing wool products."

Francisca: "You wore wool products?"

Maru: "My socks were woolen."

Maru: "Anyway, couldn't help but overhear you have a secret identity. Mitch was telling me that you might be the Mole."

Francisca: "You and Mitch can continue to think whatever you want. If you believe it's me, then there's nothing I can do."

Maru: "Well, if it's you, you're winning hard right now. What would you do with the money?"

Francisca: "I wouldn't know. I'm not the Mole."

Maru: "It's a hypothesis, girl."

Maru: "If I won either as the winner or the Mole, I would invest in better military infrastructure."

Francisca: "Is that necessary?"

Maru: "Mitch says it's better to be prepared. I'll also buy another street."

Francisca: "At least I'm not that self-absorbed, and I'm richer than you."

Maru: "What was that?"

Francisca: "Nothing."

Maru: "If you say so. Anyway, I imagine you'll use it to buy yourself a nicer house and clothes. Not that there's anything wrong with how you look. You just look...homeless. No offence."

Luis: "Are you two not afraid of getting sick?"

Kara: "Why? We're already wet. Rainwater, pool water, what difference does it make?"

Luis: "Suit yourself. I just came out here to remind you not to waste food, Kara. I made a fresh batch of pancakes for everyone this morning. I don't see the need for you to make another batch of lemon pancakes."

Kara: "Oh that was for Darleen. Have you tried it though? I bet you never had a Carter pancake."

Luis: "I never have and I never will."

Miriam: "Why not?"

Luis: "I don't think I'll like it."

Kara: "You haven't even tried it."

Luis: "I tried your pie and it gave me a stomach upset. What did you put in it?"

Kara: "The usual. Apple, flour..."

Luis: "What's your secret ingredient?"

Kara: "Not telling you. Okay fine I'll tell you since you're a master at Italian cuisine. It's a bit of...familiar meat."

Luis: "Meat? No wonder. I'm vegetarian!"

Kara: "What? Is that why you don't like it? That's a stupid reason. Meat is life! You should change your habits."

Luis: "That's rich. A little wannabe is telling me what to do."

Miriam: "Ooh, a food fight is starting."

Kara: "Wannabe? I'll have you know I'm famous in Midnight Hollow. My goopy carbonara is to die for. Patrons kill to have a taste of it. Some of them even cut off their own limbs!"

Miriam: "Okay now you're exaggerating."

Miriam: "You're exaggerating right? Right?"

Luis: "I will report you to the food agency! You can't go around putting meat in vegetarian food!"

Kara: "It's called fusion. And nobody cares in Midnight Hollow. You're free to do whatever you want."

Luis: "But not free of consequences."

Luis: "Just you wait. I'll sue you till your pants drop."

Kara: "Oh no. Another perv who hopes to see me naked. Get over it. I can show you now if you want."

Miriam: "This has gone from a food fight to a food war."

Miriam: "Oh my gosh!"

Luis: "How dare you! Put your bottom back on! Youngsters nowadays."

Miriam: "So, are we all casually ignoring the fact that you said Sims literally cut their own limbs off?"

Kara: "I don't control their bodies. But I'm not heartless. I won't let the blood go to waste."

Miriam: "Okay...ha ha, good joke...I'll be going now."

"Good evening again contestants. There is another tie tonight, so the red light and execution goes to the slowest of the ones in the tie, if no other situations occur. This time, there's no exemption to save any of you."

"As always, we start with the newest addition. Preethi Darwin."

Francisca: "Preethi was instrumental in the mission. She could have spared a headache and allowed us to go back and search with more ease, but she failed to make noticeable progress in knitting the map."

Preethi: "Of course I'm not going home."

"Luis Toledo."

Kearney: "Luis was in stasis for most of the mission. He did not even try."

Luis: "As I thought."

"Virginia Supine."

Darleen: "Virginia straight up forfeited. If you don't try, you'll never make any money."

Virginia: "Mmhmm."

"Miriam Day."

Preethi: "What's stranger than returning with nothing is returning with only 5 points. You seem like a contributor but in reality you might as well have come back empty-handed."

Miriam: "Woo! Not going home yet!"

"All the shadows have survived once again. Tonight, one of the other six will go home."

"Kearney O'Shea."

Kearney: "I am confident."

Trenton: "Kearney took Luis and I on a joyride. He struggled to get out despite having found two exits. I might have done better and earned more money if I didn't follow him."

Kearney: "Hurrah!"

"Only five of you with fates unknown. Let's continue."

"Maru Mango."

Kara: "Maru found the exit suspiciously fast...and then he just chilled there? And then randomly decided to up and go back in. He never came back. That's so inconsistent."

Maru: "I don't see colour."

"Darleen Matlapin."

Darleen: "I'm getting nervous."

Virginia: "Ms. Matlapin was the only Sim to try and fail to escape. She alleged that she was lost."

Darleen: "Oh my god. Phew!"

"Kara Carter."

Maru: "Kara keeps earning big money recently. It is suspicious that someone can be so competent."

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

Luis: "I'm conflicted. Personally I'm glad she's gone. For the Smole, it's a shame since she did bring in a lot of money."

*

*

*

Kara: "Time to deposit the winnings."

*

*

*

Kara: "I'm not sad to leave. Not at all. I dared to play so I dare to lose. I think I did really well."

*

*

*

Trenton: "I still remember her in the first mission. She was crazy for trying to go after the fittest Sim even though her fitness level was far below. I thought that the girl was mad in a good way."

*

*

*

Kara: "AFTER HER!"

*

*

*

Kara: "It's so hard to pick a favourite mission or memory. I loved all of it! From going after Angelica in the first mission to diving through a maze of wells in the last, I loved them all."

*

*

*

Darleen: "That's Kara for you. She goes all out all the time. She was my coalition partner right from the beginning and we worked so well together. She took care of me and helped me claim bingo squares. She had such main character energy. I thought she would win."

*

*

*

Kara: "You didn't tell me you were missing that square! I'll make one for you right now."

*

*

*

"Thank you for joining, Kara. We hope to see you soon."

The shabby-chic chef from Midnight Hollow is out! Was she the Mole? Will her shadow be the Mole? Who is the Mole?
