Plot
The episode opens up with Team Boss sitting in first class. Serena and Joseph are telling their remaining alliance members (Kalee and Nathanael), that Alex is going to be eliminated. Kalee asks why, and Joseph replies that Alex has caught on to their alliance, and may reveal it to Caelan (although he is unaware Caelan already knows thanks to Serena.) They just need to collect some votes against her. They realize they don't have numbers, but if they persuade Jen to join the alliance and vote Alex they will at least force a tie. They tell Jen that Caelan wants to eliminate her, and she said she knows but she doesn't understand why. Serena asks her to help them and vote off Alex if they lose tonight. She agrees. In the meantime, Caelan is plotting Jen's downfall with his own alliance (Alex, JP, Catherine and Andy). He also wants Serena eliminated, but Jen is his first priority.

Back in economy class, Team Firecrotch is really depressed. They are down to only six members, and that is only half of Team Victory and four behind Team Boss. Ashton says she knew this was going to happen ever since the dodge ball challenge no one took seriously.

Flashback to David distracting Aaron and Evan, causing both of them to be hit by dodge balls*

Liz is talking to Ruchi and Myra about how she's still annoyed with Ashton for her bossiness, but realizes that she is right. Katie is talking to Clayton about how weird it is that they are the only six left out of the seventeen from their team that started. Team Victory is happy to have dodged elimination, but just barely. They are glad no one from their big alliance has been eliminated yet, and they still have Sam as a scapegoat in the case they do go to another elimination ceremony.

Chris calls the contestants into the cargo hold, and the usual happens, the floor drops out from beneath them. They all fall and land in the water and swim to a deserted island. Then the plane flies away. The contestants look confused, and wonder if Chris really just abandoned them on this island. Myra is scared, as is Lizzie, but JP reassures them Chris wouldn't leave, but begins to question himself. Caelan thinks everyone is being ridiculous, as this is just a challenge and they are on a reality show, but Nupur asks where the cameras are and Caelan realizes there are none (or at least are hidden really well). Caroline and Kacvinsky rally everyone together as a group, and says they are going to have to ignore teams at the moment. Team Firecrotch gladly agrees to this, because of their low numbers, but Caelan, Joseph, and Serena disagree. The contestants then sing I Will Survive/Survivor, about surviving there on the island. Caelan leads the ten Team Boss members deeper into the woods to find civilization, as he is convinced it is there. Alex, Catherine and Nathanael look reluctant, but choose to stick with their team.

In the meantime, Team Victory and Team Firecrotch set up camp on the beach of the deserted island. While Team Boss is away, a bottle arrives on the beach with a note. Emily begins reading and it is from Chris. She says their challenge will be a survival challenge and whichever team adapts the best in the two days they spend there will win the challenge. The team that does the worst will go to elimination. The note then says flip, so Emily flips over the note and it says "Team Firecrotch - try not to lose again".

Kacvinsky reassures Team Firecrotch, saying they will stick together as one big team and try and take down Team Boss. Team Boss on the other hand is deep in the woods, and they don't know what to do. Kalee wants to turn back, but Caelan, Joseph and Serena are convinced they are right. They decide to stop for the night, and begin attempting to build a shelter. Back on the beach, Team Victory and Team Firecrotch build a great shelter with Colin's help, and they even catch some fish, as Liz showed Channing and Clayton how to make these net-like things which they all did together. The two teams decide to sit around the fire together and eat some fish. Lizzie is warming back up to Nathan, but is still wary about him due to his mean remarks about Channing in the previous episode.

Clayton is telling a funny story to Kacvinsky, Ian, Channing and Ashton, and even Ashton is laughing. Ruchi is laughing at Myra for gagging at the smell of the fish, and Caroline and Emily laugh as Lizzie tries to braid Nathan's hair. Colin and Sydney are tending to the fire, as Katie does her best to cook. Katie nearly burns herself, prompting Colin and Sydney and a nearby Nupur to laugh. Cooper is telling Sam something but Sam looks uninterested. Everyone tunes back into Clayton's story, and laughs at the opportunity to not have to worry about the game.

All of a sudden, Kalee comes bursting out of the woods. She is panicked, and says she needs someone to come help them and fast. Everyone looks at each other concerned.

Caroline and Ashton agree it would be fair to send three members of each team to help, as they don't want one team ending up winning over the other. Ruchi, Katie, and Ashton go for Team Firecrotch, and Kacvinsky, Ian and Caroline go for Team Victory, leaving Clayton, Myra, Liz, Cooper, Nupur, Nathan, Lizzie, Emily, Sam, Channing, Sydney and Colin behind.

Kalee leads six to Team Boss's campsite, and Andy is lying there unconscious. The rest of the team is nowhere to be found. The contestants gasp, and see a trail of what looks like food. Ian picks Andy up and the six, with an unconscious Andy and Kalee, begin traveling deeper into the woods.

At the beach, Nupur is wondering if they are ok, and Sydney reassures her that they are. Nupur and Nathan become unofficial leaders of their small group.

In the meantime, Caroline, Ian, Kacvinsky, Ashton, Katie and Ruchi are trekking through the woods with Kalee and an unconscious Andy. They come across a river, and hear someone downstream calling for help. It turns out to be Alex, who is trying to keep Catherine from drifting away. Kacvinsky and Caroline run to help them out of the water and ask what happened. They tell them a group of stranded survivors from a boat crash have taken their friends hostage, and at first Andy resisted so they knocked him unconscious. They said that once they realized Kalee and Andy were still missing, they escaped from the group and came back to look for them, but Catherine slipped on a rock and started going downstream. Alex is freaking out, and Ruchi is trying to calm her down.

The beach group on the other hand is doing great. Colin had caught more fish, Cooper, Sam and Sydney had built an amazing shelter, and Liz was doing a good job keeping the fire going- which was good because Myra, Emily, Channing and Lizzie were relaying water back and forth. Nupur and Nathan are doing a good job of directing people to improving camp life, when Chris lands the jumbo jet on the beach and gets out with Chef. He looks around, and sees only twelve players there. He is confused, as there are twenty-eight players left in the game, and Liz tells Chris everything that has happened up until that moment. He freaks out, and loads the twelve onto the plane and begins flying to search for everyone else.

The group in the woods, now Kacvinsky, Caroline, Ian, Ruchi, Katie, Ashton, Kalee, Alex, Catherine, and Andy, who is finally conscious, finally comes across the survivor's camp. The crazy captain of the ship is keeping them there hostage, with three burly crew members guarding Serena, Jen, Caelan, Nathanael, JP and Joseph. Katie comes up with a plan. She whispers it to everyone, and they nod and split off into their assigned positions.

Kacvinsky and Caroline make sounds at the three burly crew mates, which causes them to chase after them, running circles around the camp. Ruchi uses the opportunity to untie the hostages, and they all run for the woods. When the captain realizes what is going on, Katie tackles him. The captain looks at her with crazed eyes, and she freaks out so she slaps him, causing him to pass out. Chris drops a ladder down and Team Boss plus the rescue group climb up the ladder.

Chris says since Team Boss made the poor decision of going into the woods, was captured by stray criminal survivors, and had to be saved by the other two teams, they lose the immunity challenge. Caelan, Serena, and Joseph look away embarrassed. Team Victory and Firecrotch tie for first place, and Chris lets them both go to first class. Small Team Firecrotch of six (Myra, Liz, Ruchi, Katie, Clayton, and Ashton) cheer, as this is their first non-elimination in four challenges.

At dinner, Serena, knowing how willingly Catherine turned on Anna, tries to convince her that Alex pushed her off the rock. Catherine asks why, and Serena replies that Alex wanted Catherine out of the competition so she could take the place as the person Caelan plans on taking to the final three, which in a flashback its revealed that indeed Caelan made a final three pact with Andy and Catherine back in the Yukon. Serena says that Alex was hoping Catherine would be medically evacuated from the competition. Although this was a lie, Catherine becomes extremely suspicious.

Caelan on the other hand, is trying to convince Kalee that voting off Serena is the only thing to do, as she has become so manipulative. Kalee agrees, but doesn't know what to do.

At the elimination ceremony, barf bags go to Andy, Caelan and Nathanael first. The three hug.

Next they're tossed to Joseph, Kalee and JP. JP lets out a loud cheer, and Joseph and Kalee hug tightly next to him.

The two escaping the bottom two are...Catherine and Jen. Catherine and Jen both don't catch their barf bags, too distracted by who was going to be voted out.

That leaves the bottom two as Serena and Alex, both looking nervous. The final barf bag goes to…

Alex is sad about her elimination, and then Catherine calls her out for pushing her off the rock. Alex, confused, asks what she is talking about but Serena pushes her off the plane before she can react further.
