 Previously on the Smole...

Yvon: "Pink Pony Club. Hmm...I guess....F?"

"It's F#, but we'll give it to you."

~~~

Hyden: "I'm trying to remember all the details, like the angle and the number of feathers."

Ambrose: "I think that's overkill."

~~~

Danny: "Lat's go with Earl Grey tea. It tastes like that to me."

Harper: "Okay."

"That is incorrect. It is green tea."

~~~

Eris: "It's only a crossing. How hard is it to follow a straight line?"

~~~

Laron: "Oh hell no. Who knows what kind of diseases I can contract just by touching Vendon trash?"

Laron: "Shit! I hit the trash can!"

~~~

Ambrose: "I could feel Hyden testing me, so I tested him back. This is worth much more than 2 points."

~~~

Harper: "I don't know what flower it is."

Danny: "Then let's pick one at random. Jasmine tea."

~~~

Landon: "She ended up more north than here."

Harper: "I think she's at Embankment Alleyway. This looks quite clear."

~~~

Harper: "I think Danny is right. That long horizontal line is the main bridge, then he went down a bit more but not enough to reach Queensbridge. So he should be right...here."

~~~

"Each of them bumped into something thrice during their run, so 6 points have been removed from the total earnings of the mission, which is now at 40/100 points."

Yvon: "I love that this house is much bigger and spacious. It has a pool too!"

*

*

*

Landon: "Look out below."

Yvon: "What a graceful dive. You have had experience diving?"

Landon: "Certified diver."

Yvon: "You surprise me every day."

Yvon: "That diamond earring I found in Micah's old bed, that was from you, wasn't it?"

Landon: "I hope I've proven myself worthy of being in a coalition with you."

Yvon: "I'm willing to consider."

Landon: "Let me get Laron."

Yvon: "Wait!"

Yvon: "I still don't quite trust Laron. I want to keep it between us for now."

Landon: "A secret coalition? Just the way I like it. Don't worry. The secret's safe with me. No one will ever know."

Landon: "You know, I've learned horseback riding before as well."

Yvon: "You have?"

Landon: "For a role. That is until I realised it's potentially cruel to the horses."

Yvon: "I'm glad you realise that. You love horses too?"

Landon: "Oh I wish I could own a horse of my own."

Yvon: "I knew I liked you for a reason. We should have been paired together in the first mission, not with Laron."

Landon: "He was a fat slob. It's a surprise he even paired with anyone. But clearly it's to your credit that you can be compatible with someone like him."

Yvon: "Well, you know, you're right."

*

*

*

Harper: "In case it wasn't obvious, Hyden and I are in a coalition now. We're inseparable like we used to be. It's like we never grew apart."

*

*

*

Harper: "I didn't know you did yoga."

Hyden: "There are lots you don't know about me."

Harper: "Like what? You don't ever want to talk about the period you seemingly disappeared."

Hyden: "I told you..."

Harper: "I know. You don't want to bring up the past. You want to start anew. I just don't understand why. Clearly, the reason why we bond so well is because we knew each other."

Hyden: "Exactly. The keyword is 'knew'."

Harper: "Even if you have new hobbies and stuff deep down you're still the Hyden I know. You're smart, kind, funny...a bit more reserved than usual, sure, but you're still Hyden Jekol."

Hyden: "You won't want to know me or even get close to me once you know what happened during this time."

Harper: "Is that why you won't tell me? It can't be that bad."

Harper: "I won't judge. I promise. I will never shun you no matter what you've become."

Hyden: "I...I killed someone."

Harper: "Hahaha!"

Hyden: "Why are you laughing?"

Harper: "That's obviously a joke. I get that you don't want to tell me. I won't rush you on it. But I've known you for so long that I know you would never hurt a fly. I can tell the truth and a lie apart."

Hyden: "Yeah...you got me there...you know me so well."

Ambrose: "Oh. It's you. Sorry. I need to study for the quiz."

Eris: "Are you a man or a woman?"

Ambrose: "What?"

Eris: "You've been avoiding me."

Ambrose: "No I haven't."

Eris: "Yes you have."

Ambrose: "No I haven't."

Eris: "Was I that bad that you can't even stand the sight of me?"

Ambrose: "No, no. You were amazing. The best I had in a while. I just..."

Ambrose: "Why are you even hitting on me? You know I'm gay. Why are you even hitting on men? You're a mother."

Eris: "Who says mothers can't find love?"

Ambrose: "Mothers should take care of their children instead of pursuing one-night stands!"

Eris: "You don't even have children. Who are you to yell at me?"

Ambrose: "It's precisely because I know I can't ever have children that I know how important it is to cherish them!"

Eris: "You're infertile?"

Ambrose: "I'm. Gay. G-A-Y gay. Get that in that head of yours."

Eris: "You think I'm doing it for myself? I'm doing it for my Kyleleigh and Jaxten! You know they don't have a father. None of them do."

Eris: "They have different dads. One walked out on me after knowing what I did for a living. We're a poor family. I'm just doing whatever I can to make ends meet. So I took baby Kyleleigh to find another father. I thought if I could marry rich at least she would have a better life. It didn't matter if I was trapped in a loveless marriage. So I met another man. He was rich and famous! We hit off so well and he didn't seem to mind. But I later realised he already had a wife and when she found out, he just kicked me to the curb. Kicked us to the curb. The three of us."

Eris: "He knew I was pregnant with Jaxteen but he was still so heartless! It's bad enough that I have to suffer. I feel so bad for making my children suffer."

Eris: "So tell me, is it so bad that I want to give my kids a proper family? Especially Jaxten. He's a boy. I won't be able to advise him when he gets older. He needs a father. They need a father."

Ambrose: "So you want me to become their father?"

Eris: "No...well, if you could that would be amazing. But I can't ask that from you to not experience love. I just saw you as mature and assured. I hoped you could be a part of our lives to guide my kids."

Ambrose: "Seducing me isn't the right way."

Eris: "Seduce you? It was consensual...look, let's just forget about that night. It was an accident."

Ambrose: "I did see the pictures of your kids as babies when you showed them to Bridget and me. They're adorable. I wish I could have kids of my own too. But raising a child alone isn't easy. I hope to find a partner first. And then there's the logistics of it. Even if I use a surrogate mother, it'll be a kid of a random woman."

Eris: "Maybe you could be a godfather?"

Ambrose: "Wha...will they accept me? Won't I be a homewrecker?"

Eris: "They already have different dads. You aren't the homewrecker. Trust me. You're the rebuilder."

Ambrose: "That would be like a dream come true."

Eris: "To show my sincerity, I have a secret for you."

Ambrose: "A correction? When did you get this?"
Eris: "When I was on the hunt for you. Now I'm giving it to you. But I want you to promise me that you won't use your bugs or viruses on me."

Ambrose: "I..I didn't."

Eris: "Mmhmm. I'm just putting it out there."

Ambrose: "Thank you Eris. I think those men were blind to reject someone as big-hearted as you."

Eris: "Hook, line and sinker."

Danny: "What is with all this ruckus?"

Yvon: "It's called music."

Danny: "It's called noise."

Yvon: "Hey! How dare you turn it off."

Danny: "We need house rules if we are going to live under the same roof. Starting with no noise before 12pm."

Harper: "What?"

Yvon: "That's unfair. Just because you sleep late doesn't mean everyone needs to change to accommodate you."

Harper: "We're not in boot camp."

Danny: "I think this house needs more discipline."

Yvon: "What an L."

Harper: "No wonder there are rumours saying your real-life students hate you."

Danny: "They don't hate me. I'm loved by those who matter."

Harper: "Your students don't matter?"

Danny: "Cheaters don't."

Harper: "There are that many cheaters in your classes?"

Danny: "I run a big lecture. I have an expert cheating detection mechanism to tell if someone even did a simple online search and copied a line of code from Stack Overflow."

Danny: "It's tried and tested."

Harper: "Maybe it's overly harsh if everyone had nothing good to say about you."

Danny: "It's anecdotal bias."

Yvon: "Whatev. Let's go have fun somewhere else away from this boomer."

Danny: "I'm not a boomer. Skibidi toilet!"

Yvon: "Oh my gosh. That's so 2020."

Danny: "Have I lost touch with the youths today?"

Landon: "Nice to see someone else who cares about fitness."

Laron: "Unless it's cardio, ha."

Landon: "I feel you bro. I always skip leg day."

Laron: "You got nice calves though."

Landon: "Thanks bro. But I'm forced to because of my manager."

Laron: "Hey, it's all for your own good. Actors gotta look good and be shredded nowadays."

Landon: "It's a tough industry."

Laron: "This is gonna sound outta nowhere, but what are your traits?"

Landon: "I don't know bro."

Laron: "There's no way you don't know your own traits bro."

Landon: "My dating app had it."

Laron: "But it's a catfish profile."

Landon: "Yeah I hired a professional online dating coach to craft my profile."

Laron: "You what? Rich Sim things."

Laron: "So who are you really? You're not an irresistible artistic workaholic."

Landon: "I told you bro. I don't know. It doesn't matter anyway. If you want me to be an irresistible artistic workaholic, I can be an irresistible artistic workaholic."

Laron: "What if I just want you to be you?"

*

*

*

Laron: "I suspect Landon a lot. Just because he did well in the latest mission doesn't negate everything else he did. So I asked him about his traits since it was a quiz question and his profile was fake. Then he got so defensive about it. He's clearly pretending to be someone else then. He has something to hide and doesn't want others knowing the true him because he's the Mole."

Landon: "Ambrose and Hyden brought in the least points. They missed out some very obvious differences as well."

Laron: "Landon and Yvon did surprisingly well, especially Yvon who wasn't musically trained. Did she have prior knowledge?"

~~~

"B major is correct."

Yvon: "I'm such a good guesser."

~~~

Harper: "Danny kept trying to mislead and gaslight me at tea. I know my own tongue and how the tea tastes."

~~~

Harper: "This is even more bitter than the last one."

Danny: "Really? I don't feel that way."

Harper: "Don't gaslight me."

Danny: "It's not that bitter! No cap."

~~~

Danny: "The joggers could bring in the most money. They brought in only 33% of it, and that is before considering how many times they knocked into something."

Danny: "Harper led the discussion for the Strava maps. She did well but it didn't matter since Laron and Eris had racked up a whopping 4 points net. It's a good way to cultivate goodwill."

~~~

Harper: "They started from here. She went south."

Landon: "Maybe it's rotated."

Harper: "We'll consider that later."

~~~

Ambrose: "Hyden kept fixating on the minor details that didn't matter and wanted to stick together the whole time. It was an inefficient use of manpower."

~~~

Hyden: "I'm trying to remember all the details, like the angle and the number of feathers."

Ambrose: "I think that's overkill."

~~~

Laron: "Eris failed to bring in a single point. The tasks weren't that hard."

~~~

Eris: "It's only a crossing. How hard is it to follow a straight line?"

~~~

Eris: "Landon feels too obvious to be a Mole. But I also don't want to be the one who leaves with a Mole that was dancing in my face."

Eris: "I'll bug Yvon again. Something's strange about her ability to survive so long."

Yvon: "I went in on one suspect and survived. I'm confident I can do it again."

"Contestants, welcome to Forkley Golf and Country Club. Today, another one of you will have to say goodbye."

"Although no new bugs were given out, someone has bugged Yvon."

Yvon: "You can target me 100 times but I'll bounce back up every time. I have plot armour."

"Hyden, you may begin the execution ceremony. Please draw a name of someone who will not be executed today."

Hyden: "Yvon von Vony."

"Yvon, please draw another name who is safe."

Yvon: "Laron Jamisson."

Laron: "Harper Umbra."

Harper: "Ambrose de Silva."

Ambrose: "Danny Malan."

Danny: "Eris Field."

"Hyden Jekol, Landon Harding, one of you will be executed tonight. Eris, please come forward to draw the final name who will be safe today."

Eris: "Landon Harding."

"Unfortunately, Hyden Jekol, you have been executed today."

Harper: "No! Not Hyden!"

Hyden: "It is what it is."

~~~

Ambrose: "25 minutes isn't a lot of time. This place is huge."

Hyden: "Let's be systematic about it. We'll start from here and then make our way up."

~~~

Bridget: "Like a professional."

Hyden: "Nah I'm not."

~~~

Harper: "Now's your chance."

Hyden: "I'm not sure I want to cheat."

Harper: "Fine, I'll do it."

Hyden: "Fine. I'll do it. It's better that I do it than you."

~~~

Hyden: "Karma got to me in the end. It was a short but sweet ride but it is ultimately better for Harper and for everyone else if I go. I can't let her ruin her perfect impression of me."

"Thank you for joining Hyden. We hope to see you soon."
