In the last mission the final four found 20 random strangers on their doorstep with unknown connections to one another. They had 20 minutes to divide them into 4 groups with common themes. They failed in identifying any of the groups, but Thelma's correct association with the group with moles and female Ashley's incorrect association with the almost-blonde group led to 5 bonus points for the mission. The pot stands at 259/900 points. There is one more execution before the finale. Who will lose just before the finish line?
🌸🌸🌸
Ashley: "Sometimes I think I understand Lee but other times not at all. I don't know where she had this confidence to sit with the group of three blondes when one of them was clearly not blonde. We could have had 10 points in the mission rather than 5. But this is Lee we're talking about after all."
🌸🌸🌸
Ashley: "Lee, now that we have some time. I just wanted to say I'm sorry."
Ashley: "What for?"
Ashley: "For doubting you. You were right about Cassius."
Ashley: "I told you so."
Ashley: "Yeah yeah. You can gloat. At least he's gone now and won't have the money he needs to fund his plan to eradicate the entire race."
Ashley: "I'm too ashamed to face you."
Ashley: "Aw...don't be ashamed. Shame is like, a very Catholic emotion. And we're not even Catholic."
Ashley: "Besides, if I stopped facing Sims who are disappointed in me I'd just...I dunno, live in a coffin or something. And I already do that emotionally."
Ashley: "That's what I admire about you. It's your tenacious optimism. No matter what happens you have the confidence to keep going."
Ashley: "I wanted to say how proud I am of you for making it two quizzes without me."
Ashley: "I mean yeah. I kinda had to do it myself. And I did it. But it's nice that you noticed. Validation is very nourishing to the soul."
Ashley: "I know we have our squabbles but sibling hug?"
Ashley: "Fine, fine. Sibling hug. Squee!"
Ashley: "I thought you sounded reluctant."
Ashley: "That's how I always get ya!"
🌸🌸🌸
Octavia: "I didn't know you were a vinyl girl."
Thelma: "It's been sitting here collecting dust. I might as well give it a listen."
Thelma: "Abbey Road, The Dark Side of the Moon, all classics."
Octavia: "The house feels really spacious now."
Thelma: "But this room is as squeezy as ever."
Octavia: "It's cosy."
Thelma: "What would you do if you won the season? Hypothetically speaking."
Octavia: "I thought about this. One part of me thought about using it to take acting lessons and go back into acting. To restart so that I don't feel like a failure. But another part of me also thinks traditionally. I should save up for my kid's college education and general living expenses. It's not like I have money to spare."
Octavia: "What about you?"
Thelma: "I don't know. Maybe I would invest some of it."
Octavia: "Into FireCoin?"
Thelma: "Crypto is a black hole."
Octavia: "If I could give you one piece of advice, it would be to take control of your life. Don't waste it away in a path that isn't for you. You're still young. Do what you need to do. And if your calling in life is to just focus on survival or whatnot, that's fine as well. But you have to have at least thought it through."
🌸🌸🌸
Thelma: "How cute. Octavia still thinks I'm an unwilling lamb caught in the fence. I'm actually in full control of my life. I know exactly what I'm doing. Her poor, pool soul can't fathom how someone can enjoy the company of evil. I love Sims like her."
🌸🌸🌸
Ashley: "I see you're studying hard for the quiz."
Thelma: "I have to know exactly what the Mole did to know how to answer the quiz."
Ashley: "I can't believe it's been over two weeks already. Time flies so fast."
Thelma: "How have you been answering the quiz? Did you answer on the Mole or deliberately sabotage yourself to stay safe from execution?"
Thelma: "I knew you wouldn't answer that. But maybe you can answer this: how will you cast your last vote? Do you want to execute the highest or second lowest scorer?"
Ashley: "It's advantageous to execute the highest scorer but I think I've been doing that all season long."
Thelma: "You get to protect your sister as well."
Ashley: "We broke off our coalition a while ago."
Thelma: "Oh. That was easy."
Ashley: "She's doing so well by herself. I just needed to have more faith in her."
Thelma: "So you don't think she's the Mole."
Ashley: "No of course not. Do you?"
Thelma: "I think anyone and everyone can be the Mole. I just don't know whether to call you devoted or foolish for sticking together for so long. And I say that to both you and her."
Thelma: "Then do you think I'm the Mole? Probably not from your reaction earlier. So I already know who you think the Mole is. Or rather, you could be the Mole yourself."
Thelma: "If you're the Mole, you'll want to vote second lowest to save your sister so that the Olson twins can have the full pot. If not, you'll want to vote for the highest scorer because that's the only logical choice."
Ashley: "Unless you accidentally kill yourself like the others did."
Thelma: "Fair enough."
Ashley: "How are you voting?"
Thelma: "I only have one way I can vote: up. I encourage you to use this last chance to eliminate the competition and also vote the highest."
Ashley: "I don't know what your plan is and if it will work, but I'll think about it."
🌸🌸🌸
Octavia: "You didn't have to sit down you know."
Ashley: "I realised that afterwards. But we had to take a risk or it would be the final nail in the coffin."
Octavia: "I can't believe it. The pot is so low this season. It's almost laughable."
Ashley: "If you don't want it you can give it to me. Hehe!"
Octavia: "Who says I don't want it? Money is money."
Ashley: "I still don't know who the Mole is to be honest with you. I answered the past few quizzes on everyone. Maybe even myself."
Octavia: "It's a miracle you're still here."
Ashley: "Believe in me. I can do it."
Octavia: "There's just one more quiz left in the way. If you don't know who the Mole is by now...sorry to be you."
Ashley: "You know who it is already?"
Octavia: "I do."
Ashley: "Can you tell me who it is?"
Octavia: "Why would I tell you?"
Octavia: "The bigger question is whether the highest scorer will be executed tonight or not."
Ashley: "It would be pretty funny to have a season of losers where nobody knows who the Mole is."

🌸🌸🌸
Octavia: "The final three should be the most qualified contestants who know the Mole. I chose to vote the second lowest scorer because it's only fair. I hope the rest did the same."
🌸🌸🌸
Thelma: "Every single one of the others have brought in very little money to the pot. But if I had to make a decision, I will stick to my feelings. I think that the rest will choose to execute the second highest so this is the time for me to try and get a high score for the finale."
🌸🌸🌸
Ashley: "Octavia confirmed the pancakes theory. There were two problems with it. Firstly, it was proven to be wrong in the end as the group did not all like pancakes. In fact, she shoehorned the girl who liked wasabi on everything into my group. Secondly, she later contradicted herself and said it was wrong despite saying it was right, so that she could come up with another wrong answer with the hats."
🌸🌸🌸
Ashley: "I really have no idea who the Mole is. I'm just going on vibes and moon sightings."
🌸🌸🌸
Octavia: "Not another twist."
Octavia: "Am I there yet?"
Octavia: "There's something here."
Octavia: "Welcome to Mizumi Island. How confident are you of your Mole? You can bid up to the entire pot of 259 points for an exemption to the finale."
Octavia: "Oh my goodness. This is huge. To be honest I am not confident at all. I suspect the rest of them. But do I really want to bid the whole pot?"
Octavia: "I'll bid about half. 140 points sounds good. It's high enough and the whole pot won't be emptied."
🌸🌸🌸
Ashley: "I arrived at Mizumi Island."
Ashley: "Damn. How much am I willing to pay for a shot at winning?"
Ashley: "200...no, 190. Damn it. This is so stressful. I hope the group doesn't kill me."
🌸🌸🌸
Ashley: "You can't tell me what happened on that island either?"
Ashley: "No."
Octavia: "All we can say is that it's such a cruel cruel twist."
Thelma: "136 points. I don't believe anyone wants to have less than 100 points left in the pot."
🌸🌸🌸
Ashley: "Hmm...I don't know. What should I write?"
Ashley: "This looks like a nice number. That way when it gets deducted the pot will be left with a nice round number. I did my math correctly right?"
Ashley: "She's coming back."
🌸🌸🌸
"Contestants, you were given an offer to bid for an exemption. Many of you voted really high. Octavia bid 136 points, Thelma bid 140 points and Ashley bid 190 points."
Ashley: "No I didn't."
Ashley: "I did, not you."
"But I never said that the highest bidder gets the exemption. Conversely, the lowest bidder gets the exemption. Sometimes it's better not to be too greedy or ruthless."
"Female Ashley gets the exemption. She bid 17 points."
Ashley: "That was unexpected."
Thelma: "Good job Lee."
"That amount doesn't get taken from the pot. In fact, that amount is added to the pot. The pot is now at 276/900 points."
Ashley: "Bwahaha. Sorry that's just too funny."
Ashley: "Hey be proud of me Ash. I brought in money."
"Lee, you may take your seat in front."
"Congratulations to Ashley Olson for being the first confirmed finalist of The Smole, Season 63. As for the rest of you, one of you must say goodbye tonight. The finalist Ashley and Thelma voted to execute the highest scorer, while the rest chose to execute the lowest scorer. For the first and only time in history, we have a tie for who should be executed. You activate the hidden twist: all votes become null and the lowest scorer is executed instead. Befitting for a final execution ceremony."
"Ashley Olson, will you survive or be grant this season an all-female finale?"
"Congratulations Ashley. You are the second confirmed finalist of the season."
"Thelma Lasseter, Octavia Etienne, one of you lovely women will be leaving us tonight."
"Octavia Etienne."
Octavia: "It's going to be me."
"Unfortunately, Octavia Etienne, you are the last to be executed this season. Please pack your bags and leave."
Octavia: "I knew it."
Octavia: "Right. My time has come. It's been fun guys. Really. I wish everyone the best of luck in finding the Mole."
🌸🌸🌸
Ashley: "Octavia is so decisive! How is she executed? She told me she knew who the Mole is and I totally believed her. She always had things under control and gave a sense of security. Which is why it's super confusing she's executed. It's just so sad and messed up. I will mourn her."
🌸🌸🌸
Letitia: "So do I move or stay put?"
Octavia: "Stay put. Don't listen to her."
🌸🌸🌸
Ashley: "Octavia was willing to put down her pride in the game show even though she was uncomfortable with it. She said that this season made her feel young again and she didn't have to worry about the harsh realities of life. She rekindled her love for acting."
🌸🌸🌸
Octavia: "Aaahh!"
🌸🌸🌸
Thelma: "Octavia was a go-getter. She was hungry. Hungry for points and hungry for exemptions. She was the one to get the first exemption this season. I felt that she was my biggest threat this season."
🌸🌸🌸
"Octavia is also drunk and escaped detection. Octavia, you get an exemption for your efforts."
🌸🌸🌸
Octavia: "I need some time to digest this. I think I'm still in shock. But when Lee got the exemption and Ash was announced safe, I knew I was gone. But I think it's fair since I'm the lowest scorer. I really enjoyed my time on TV. Everything has been memorable, from the first time I stepped foot in Mayumachi to even the Japanese game show. It's been an amazing time. I wish the winner all the best and hopefully they can earn a little bit more in the final mission. This season's Mole really kicked our butts."
🌸🌸🌸
"Ashley Olson, Thelma Lasseter and Ashley Olson. You pulled through the twists and turns of the season and sit here proudly as the final three of Season 63.
Pot: 276/900
