The episodes starts off with Twila fighting with Amy over on how the last Tribal Council votes went. When the castaways arrived at the Reward Challenge, Jeff arrived in a new Pontiac saying that the Reward Challenge was to swim across the water onto a platform, walk across the beam, back on the platform, into the water, go under and grab a flag and do the obstical back onto the beach and put the flag on a pole, they then had to repeat it until the first 3 Survivors had 3 flags on their pole. The first one won the car and a very big clean up including a shower, food, and an over night stay. The other 2 would join the winner in the stay overnight. Ami had the lead most of the way, while Twila and Scout stayed very behind. Eliza was right behind Ami. Julie and Chris fought for 3rd. In a close race, Ami fell off her platform giving Eliza the first place and car, while Ami got second joining Eliza on the trip. In a tight race for the third spot on the trip, Chris beat Julie by just a little bit. The 3 Survivors jumped in the car and headed out.



Back at camp, Scout and Twila were mad about the reward, while Julie just chilled. At the resort, Ami tried pursuading Eliza and Chris to join her saying how she always had their back. Chris didnt believe her for a second, while Eliza started to wonder. When they returned, there was tension about how Eliza was chilling with Ami and Julie. Eliza was saying how they were sisters to each other.



At immunity the survivors found out their challenge featured a shuffleboard with differnt islands on them. They would slide their chips down the board, and it had to hit an island for a point. The others could either try and get their own point or try knocking each others chips off the board. The end featured a close tie between Ami and Chris, but in the end, Chris had won his first immunity. Before tribal council, Ami, Julie, and Eliza were discussing how Scout had never had a vote against her and it would be a shock if she was the one to go. Meanwhile, Chris thought about the chances of a tie.



When they arrived at Tribal Council, Jeff mentioned to Scout how she said she wanted the girls to stick together days before. Eliza and Ami got emotional about how they thought of each other as sisters. It looked like it would be a tie between Scout and Ami. But in the end Eliza stuck with her final four team and voted out Ami in a 2-4 vote.
