The Smole: 60.14-Old Sims don't last

In the previous episode of the Smole, Kearney played squash while the rest teamed up to play tennis. Luis and Nadia beat everyone else and had to face off against each other in the final game to win an exemption, to which Luis won. 40/80 points were won on the tennis courts and 89/100 points (and a bingo square) at the squash court. In addition, Maru got another bingo and claimed 100 bonus points from the prize pool, making the pot now 411/680 points. Luis will not be executed tonight. But who will? And who is the Mole?

Preethi: "I find it so fishy that Luis somehow beat everyone else at tennis to win an exemption. It's even more suspicious that he's still here. Old Sims don't last on the Smole."

Kearney: "After much consideration, I have decided to use the latest bingo square I have received because it is a victory that I rightfully deserve. Now stamp the square."

Trenton: "I have never scored above average in a quiz, my coalition is falling apart, I still have no idea who the Mole is...nothing is going well. I won't let myself have another fall from grace. But I now have to do it...myself?"

Miriam: "Oh! They're back!"

Kearney: "What is she doing? She does not look sick."

Miriam: "Act sick, act sick..."

Miriam: "Welcome back everyone! How was the mission?"

Preethi: "You should have joined to find out."

Kearney: "What were you doing at home?"

Miriam: "Oh, nothing much. Just resting and doing the chores."

Preethi: "The dishes are still on the table."

Kearney: "I hate liars."

Miriam: "I'm not lying. I was doing my own dishes. Why would I do the chores of others?"

Mariana: "We need to have some house rules."

Miriam: "Or everyone can clean up after themselves. Besides, Luis doesn't like others stepping into the kitchen and using the stuff there."

Kearney: "You don't look sick."

Miriam: "I feel a lot better now that I have rested."

Trenton: "I should have been the final pair. I depended on Maru and he failed me."

Virginia: "Perhaps it is better for you to remain dependent on women."

Trenton: "Excuse me?"

Virginia: "Men are not dependable, most of all not Maru. And with you, your success thus far has been due to women."

Trenton: "My success has not been due to women! I am perfectly capable of doing things on my own!"

Virginia: "Did I hurt your tiny ego? I am embarrassed for you, Mr. Alto."

Trenton: "You think I depend on my wife to achieve my current standing? She was the one who married me, an Alto!"

Virginia: "What are you talking about? I was referring to your continued survival on the Smole while your coalition partners Kara and Darleen have been executed."

Virginia: "But maybe it applies to your life as well. Your success is due to your family name, not your actions."

Trenton: "You-"

Virginia: "Look at you, standing so menacingly, as if you wish to intimidate me. Such brutish behaviour. I thought you were an upperclassman."

Trenton: "I will prove myself. I will make a new name for myself. I do not need Eleanor or the Crosses."

Preethi: "What is going on here? Why are the alien and the old spinster fighting?"

Virginia: "I am not an old spinster. I am merely reminding Trenton of his own capabilities. It appears he is quite sensitive."

Preethi: "Is it because he capsized your boat?"

Virginia: "I am not that petty."

Trenton: "It's because you're an old spinster who can't find a man to love!"

Virginia: "I rejected a man's proposal. Why would I want a man to love when men are like...this?"

Preethi: "Then would you rather a woman to love?"

Preethi: "Oh my god, you do! You are a lesbian!"

Virginia: "Quiet yourself! There is no such thing."

Virginia: "Do not slander my name. A lady's reputation is of utmost importance."

Trenton: "Look at Ms. Uppity here with a secret."

Preethi: "You don't care about being unmarried so what do you have to be afraid of?"

Virginia: "I am not afraid. I am merely trying to protect her."

Preethi: "Protect who?"

Virginia: "My reputation."

Preethi: "That's not a 'her'."

Preethi: "Is it Rita? You're her shadow."

Trenton: "Imagine the scandal in the social circles."

Virginia: "Which is why it will do you no good to spread rumours. It reflects badly on yourself."

Virginia: "Now, please quit with the gossip. Don't the two of you have better matters to attend to?"

Mariana: "Every house needs a mother to take care of it."

Kearney: "Every house does not."

Kearney: "My parents died fighting the dragons in the Great War. My brother and I had to fend for ourselves. I did better of course, so I took it upon myself to act as the head of the household."

Mariana: "Oh I'm so sorry to hear that."

Luis: "What are you doing?"

Kearney: "She's helping to clean the kitchen."

Luis: "It doesn't need cleaning."

Mariana: "I baked a fruitcake as a housewarming gift."

Luis: "You what?!"

Luis: "Who said you could use the kitchen?"

Mariana: "Who said I couldn't?"

Luis: "Kearney, didn't you tell her?"

Kearney: "She thought I was joking."

Luis: "The kitchen is not a joke. You play in the kitchen, someone is going to end up injured."

Mariana: "I like cooking and it's not my first rodeo. I know what I'm doing."

Luis: "The kitchen is not for hobbyists."

Mariana: "All of you accept this?"

Kearney: "He's the master of his domain. I can respect and understand his decision."

Mariana: "Sharing is caring, Luis."

Luis: "Sharing blood isn't."

Kearney: "He claimed to have tasted blood in Kara's food. Kara was an ex-contestant."

Mariana: "Maybe she accidentally cut herself. A little blood won't hurt anyone."

Luis: "She could be infected."

Mariana: "That is true..."

Mariana: "With all due respect Luis, this isn't your restaurant. You don't have a right to tell us what to do."

Luis: "I have a right to know what goes into my stomach and to have my dietary restrictions respected."

Mariana: "Luis! My fruitcake..."

Luis: "Let this be a lesson."

Mariana: "I was here to make friends and have fun. Clearly everyone else has a different idea. Out of respect for my elders I let it go but if he was younger than me? I would've torn into him like a lion with its prey. I thought the Smole would be more fun than this."

Miriam: "Ooh, they all look great...I'll have one freezer bunny."

Miriam: "Hahaha, this freezer bunny is going to become a melted bunny...where is that noise coming from?"

Nadia: "Na na na na na~"

Miriam: "I didn't know you like industrial rock."

Nadia: "Not bad, you know your genre."

Miriam: "I suppose the garage is a part of the whole vibe?"

Nadia: "Hit the nail on the head. I'm the lead vocalist of my band."

Miriam: "What's your band called?"

Nadia: "Sombre."

Nadia: "I know what you're thinking. This tiny girl doesn't have what it takes to be a lead vocalist of a industrial band. My bandmates thought that too. But one growl was all it took to convince them."

Miriam: "But you're so soft."

Nadia: "Just because my voice isn't loud and hoarse doesn't mean I can't do it. You just haven't heard it because you haven't made me mad yet."

Miriam: "You're not like most Koreans I met."

Nadia: "Thank you! I take that as a compliment."

Nadia: "There's a certain stereotype, no, expectation, that comes with being Korean. I didn't fit that mould. I struggled so hard with my teachers, peers and even my own parents. But then I moved to Midnight Hollow where I could be myself. I didn't have to be demure and quiet, and I didn't need to find a husband and have children."

Miriam: "I can relate. I'm never having children ever. Children? More like burdens haha."

Nadia: "Maybe one day I should visit Aurora Skies. Seeing the Northern Lights is on my bucket list."

Miriam: "It's beautiful, but you get tired of it after seeing it every other day."

Nadia: "Jelly!"

Nadia: "Does that mean you don't intend to stay in Aurora Skies?"

Miriam: "If something makes me stay, then maybe, but if not, it's time to move on soon. It's like the Smole. I make friends and amazing memories and I love every moment, but when it's time to move on, it's time to move on."

Nadia: "Speaking of the Smole, maybe we should start discussing what happened...right after this next song."

Miriam: "I'll leave you to it."

Virginia: "STOP MAKING THAT RUCKUS, WHOEVER THAT IS!"

Nadia: "Someone can't appreciate good music."

Maru: "I know what you're hiding."

Francisca: "What? Oh hi. What brings you to my room?"

Maru: "Rich girl with a secret identity who ran away from home...you didn't even bother to change your name."

Francisca: "I don't know what you're talking about."

Maru: "You clearly do."

Maru: "Do I need to spell it out for you? You are royalty, Francisca Vanderburg. You're the missing princess."

Francisca: "I'm not! If that was true, why hasn't anybody recognised me yet?"

Maru: "I'm honestly surprised nobody has figured it out yet. They must be blind or brain-damaged. Or both."

Francisca: "Why are you telling me this?"

Maru: "You have something that could benefit me very greatly."

Francisca: "I'm not sharing my suspect with you."

Maru: "Suspect? Ha! You think I care about this stupid little game?"

Francisca: "...What are you after?"

Maru: "Money. Your money."

Francisca: "I don't have money. I cut off all my credit cards and connections to my family."

Maru: "You're the princess of Hidden Springs. Don't tell me Daddy's little girl doesn't have a little savings."

Francisca: "You...you said I looked homeless. Do I look like I have savings?"

Maru: "You think that flimsy excuse works on me?"

Maru: "I don't care how you get it. You have your means."

Francisca: "Why do you need more money? You already have a military base and a street named after you. Surely you have enough yourself."

Maru: "The fewer questions asked, the better."

Francisca: "What if I say no?"

Maru: "Then, dear princess..."

Maru: "You'll come to regret it."

Maru: "You're a smart girl. You know what to do if you don't want anyone else knowing about your secret."

Francisca: "Why are you doing this Maru?"

'Maru': "I'm not Maru."

"Contestants, welcome to your execution ceremony. For Mariana, it is her first. As a reminder, green means you're moving on to the next episode, red means you're not. Luis is exempt, and I am sure he is extremely happy about it, because tonight we have a surprise triple execution."

Mariana: "No."

"As is tradition, we begin with the newest shadow. Mariana Matlapin."

Preethi: "Mariana acted stupidly during tennis. Was she playing dumb on purpose?"

Mariana: "I'm still here guys!"

"Nadia Cho."

Maru: "Nadia somehow made it to the final game and was the MVP...that is, until she randomly got her ass kicked by an old man."

"Unfortunately, Nadia Cho, you have been executed. Please pack your bags and leave."

Nadia: "Sigh."

"We shall continue. Miriam Day."

Miriam: "This is worrying."

Kearney: "Miriam did not participate in the mission, and in that mission we won the most points."

"Unfortunately, Miriam Day, you have been executed. Please pack your bags and leave."

Miriam: "I knew it."

"Two red lights, one to go. There is another three-way tie for the third last place."

"Virginia Supine."

Mariana: "Virginia and Francisca are the only ones with actual tennis experience. How is it that they lost to a group of beginners and so quickly too?"

Virginia: "A sense of relief washes over me."

"Francisca Vanderburg."

Virginia: "Ms. Vanderburg made far too many unforgivable mistakes for someone with experience in tennis."

Francisca: "Phew."

"Kearney O'Shea."

Kearney: "I have proven myself to be the best at winning points. If this is the end of my quest, so be it."

Luis: "The squash player has the best position to sabotage. He can win many points but miss all the balls with correct answers."

Kearney: "I survived!"

"Preethi Darwin."

Trenton: "Looking back, Preethi hasn't earned much in anything she's been in, the last mission too."

"Unfortunately, Preethi Darwin, you have been executed. Please pack your bags and leave."

Mariana: "Nadia was one of the nicest Sims I met here. I only knew her for a day but she was so aggressively nice and friendly. I thought she would win too with that competitive fire in her. I wish she stayed longer with me."

Nadia: "Yoohoo!"

Nadia: "It's been a blast even if it was short-lived. I got lucky to even be here so I can't complain. I think both the tennis and paddling was fun and very different from what I was used to, so I'm proud of stepping out of my comfort zone too."

Kearney: "Preethi was forthright in her thoughts. I appreciated that about her. It is rare to have someone who speaks with honesty."

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

Preethi: "My husband and I had a strategy based on how we thought the Mole would operate. When that failed we employed our backup strategy: to sabotage at all times and be the one others suspect. It was an upward task but I don't regret a thing. At least I got to be in the water when he couldn't."

Trenton: "When Miriam first walked in, I was dazzled by her beauty. I thought she was someone important and someone I had to get to know."

Miriam: "You're almost there!"

Miriam: "I chose to sit out at the wrong time. I wanted the bingo square stamped but it cost me the game instead. I should have been there to observe. Oh well. It was an adventure and I feel bad towards Angelica, but like I told Nadia earlier, when it's time to go, it's time to go. This season's Mole is a good one!"
