==Story==
===Night 25===
===Day 26===
With the knowledge that the Hidden Immunity Idol played by Dan Rengering at the previous Tribal Council would be re-hidden, Davie Rickenbacker and Nick Wilson set off early in the morning in search of the idol. They ended up finding a clue to the idol, which directed them to search for a flame later that day in the middle of the night.
At the Reward Challenge, the castaways had to compete in Back in Slack. Although the purple team consisting of Angelina Keeley, Carl Boudreaux, Davie Rickenbacker, Kara Kay, and Nick Wilson were in the lead for most of the challenge due in part to the orange team's struggle on the rope bridge, the orange team ended up taking over at the pole-throwing section. Alec Merlino skillfully threw the poles, thus earning the win for his team consisting of himself, Alison Raybould, Christian Hubicki, Gabby Pascuzzi, and Mike White.
During the orange team's reward feast, Alec attempted to extend an olive branch to Christian and Gabby using his bartender hospitality. Later in the feast, Alec uncovered a box containing letters from the loved ones of the orange team. Each member went off individually to read their letters.
While the orange team enjoyed their feast, the members of the purple team convened to scheme. Carl hatched a plan to eliminate Alec, but Kara, Alec's primary ally, was alerted and concerned. Angelina was receptive to this plan as she no longer wanted to align with her former Goliath tribemates after they had turned against her at the previous Tribal Council.
After the reward, the orange team returned. Kara informed Alec of Carl's plan, thus galvanizing Alec for the next Immunity Challenge. The members of the orange team had returned with upset stomachs and threw up along the beach. Debilitated, Alec was concerned regarding his prospects for the following challenge. Later that night, Nick sneaked off to find the idol as Davie kept watch. However, time was growing thin as Alison woke up to vomit, having not recovered from her upset stomach. Nonetheless, Nick managed to find the flame and thus the idol before hurrying back. Both Davie and Nick rejoiced at the discovery.

===Day 28===
After the Immunity Challenge, Alec was the primary target. Carl told Kara that Alec was the target, much to the ire of Gabby. Christian and Gabby, along with Alison and Alec, discuss getting out Carl. Alison and Alec ask Kara and Mike if they would be on board with getting out Carl, which they are. Christian explained that getting rid of Alec would make him the only threat.
