Tonight, We Make Our Move is the fourth episode of .
==Story==
===Night 8===
The Villains return to camp after voting Randy Bailey out, and Coach Wade and Tyson Apostol have a heart to heart. Offended by Sandra Diaz-Twine's comments at Tribal Council, a sad and wounded Coach wonders why nobody ever has something good to say about him. Tyson offers to help support Coach through it and give him some advice. Tyson tells Coach not to wear feathers in his hair at Tribal Council, to not tell stories, and to do his tai-chi in private, but Coach doesn't want to give any of those things up.
===Day 9===
The next morning, Coach is still deeply upset at what happened during Tribal Council and decides to walk off into the jungle to contemplate. The other Villains at camp ask Tyson what happened during their nighttime conversation, and Tyson reveals to them that Coach broke down, cried, and considered quitting. Rob Mariano cannot believe that Coach would think about quitting.
Taking matters into his own hands, Rob goes out and talks to Coach to try and get his head back in the game. Rob tells Coach that he's not on the bottom of the tribe and that he does want to play the game with him. Coach wonders then why the only time Rob wants to bond is when they are getting ready for challenges, but Rob says that everything is by design and that Coach needs to trust him. After the conversation with Rob and some meditation, Coach seems to calm down and realizes that he cannot give up on the game.
A catalogue arrives in Tree Mail that lets both of the tribes choose their own rewards that they will be playing for in the next Reward Challenge. The Heroes are optimistic they will be able to pull off another victory and finally build some momentum.
The challenge involves individual tribe members sliding down a surface grabbing numbered balls and trying to make a basket before the other tribe member makes one. The Heroes make a valiant effort at the challenge by forcing the challenge to go to the final match after trailing, but the Villains narrowly pull off yet another victory and take home their Sears reward choices; a toolkit, a large tarp, and twine.
The Villains return to camp, and Coach is a changed man from the previous night.
The tribe opens their reward items, and Russell Hantz sees something on one of the knives and dislodges it, mistakenly believing it was something that held the blade in place. The object is actually a clue to the Hidden Immunity Idol. The clue falls out and is revealed to the whole tribe, so Rob reads it aloud to everyone.
Sandra says that anyone who looks for the idol will be marked and voted out at the next Tribal Council. She says that the smartest thing for the tribe to do is find it as a group and throw it into the ocean. Despite the seemingly unanimous consensus about the idol and punishing anyone who looks for the idol, Russell knows that he has to find it alone and use it to assume power over his tribe. While the Villains start setting up their new large tarp, Russell goes off on a walk so he can go scope out the location of the idol.
Rob suspects Russell is up to no good and asks Sandra to go look and see if Russell is really just going for a walk or if he's looking for the idol. After doing some reconnaissance, Sandra manages to see Russell lurking around the trees near the beach, and she reports back to the tribe. Everybody agrees that Russell should be sent home for looking for the idol, just like they agreed to moments before.
===Day 10===
Much like their rivals the day before, all of the Heroes are in one spot when a clue to a Hidden Immunity Idol is found. This clue was found in their coffee that the Heroes had won at the previous Reward/Immunity Challenge.
Shortly after the clue is read, the Heroes scatter and search all over their beach for the Hidden Immunity Idol. Tom Westman finds the general location where the idol is, but Amanda Kimmel quickly sees and starts digging at the same location, being joined soon after by James Clement, and later Candice Woodcock. Tom moves over to a different spot in the sand and finds the idol, and he tries to sneakily put it away without the others noticing, but Amanda sees Tom put the idol into his sock.
Amanda spreads the news of Tom's idol discovery with the rest of the tribe, causing them all to become disappointed. Tom meets up with Colby Donaldson and reveals the idol to him, Colby is optimistic the idol will be able to help the duo in the game.
===Day 11===
The Heroes and Villains arrive to compete at the next Immunity Challenge. The challenge is close, with Tom and Rob leading their respective teams by being in the caller position, giving direction to the blindfolded members operating a ball on a table maze. Although the challenge is very close, Rob leads the Villains to yet another victory, sending the Heroes back to Tribal Council for the fourth time.
Arriving back at camp, Tom expresses his disappointment at not being able to lead the Heroes tribe to victory, and is also worried about his and Colby's positions in the tribe, even with the Hidden Immunity Idol.
Candice and Cirie Fields meet with each other in the jungle and talk strategy. They agree that they need to break up the pair of Colby and Tom, so they come up with a plan to split the votes 3-3 on both Tom and Colby to ensure that the Hidden Immunity Idol cannot be used against the majority alliance.
Amanda talks with J.T. Thomas on the beach about what to do, and J.T. favors getting rid of Candice. However, Amanda is wary of leaving a big strategic player, Tom, with so much power because of the idol. J.T. says to Amanda that at this point he trusts Tom more than he trusts Candice in the game.
Later, Amanda and J.T. get up and have a meeting with Tom near the jungle on the beach. Tom has a talk with J.T. and Amanda, trying to convince them to keep Colby and himself in the game over Cirie and Candice. Tom tries to play down the fact he has the idol and tries to convince them that he feels the idol is more of a liability than an asset, and Tom even offers to give it up to them. Amanda is still leery of Tom, though she admits there is a part of Tom she thinks she could trust. James walks up and joins the discussion, and he agrees that Candice should be sent home. The whole group walks out in agreement on a Candice vote and a new alliance.
Amanda and Cirie meet together in the jungle and Amanda relays the conversation she had with Tom to Cirie, suggesting Candice be taken out. However, Cirie reacts strongly and says it would be a dumb move to make.
Eventually Rupert Boneham and James also walk up to the conversation, and Cirie convinces all of them that getting rid of Candice would be silly and to go ahead with the plan to get rid of either Colby or Tom. However, J.T. manages to watch the conversation from a distance on a hill and watches as Cirie successfully changes everyone's mind on the vote. J.T. meets with Tom later and tells him that he has lost control over the tribe to Cirie, who is now masterminding everything. J.T. tells Tom to get his idol and to use it to save himself.
J.T. says that Cirie should be the one going home, and Tom tells J.T. that the split vote is the perfect chance they have to get her out. Since the majority alliance is splitting 3-3 on Tom and Colby, all that needs to happen is for J.T. to switch his vote and have Tom play the idol, and then Cirie goes home. J.T. realizes that his vote alone will decide who goes home.
The Heroes arrive at Tribal Council and talk about the alliances that have been formed. A major issue that the tribe talks about is how they can move forward and win at challenges and bond as a team, Rupert admits he wants to keep the tribe strong, but that he also needs to live up to his word which means that might not be how he votes. James declares that he will do anything to win, and that he will be basing his vote off of keeping the tribe strong. The tribe goes to vote, and before the votes are read, Tom plays his Hidden Immunity Idol. The votes against Tom are negated, and J.T. ultimately decides to flip over to keep Tom and Colby in the game, therefore Cirie is blindsided 3-2-0. As the final vote is read sending Cirie home, Tom and Colby silently celebrate as the entire rest of the tribe is shocked and surprised at the outcome, clearly frustrated with J.T.'s flip-flop.
