==Story==
===Day 18 (Night)===
The final four members of the Morgan tribe return to camp, still hurting after voting the well-liked Mina from the tribe. The four sit around their dwindling fire, all pitching in to try and keep it alive.
===Day 19===
===Drake===
Rain pours over the camp, leaving the tribe huddled together in their shelter, each taking turns to stoke the fire which they have semi-protected.
After the rain dies down, Holly and Lang collect tree-mail, bringing a lock and key along with a letter back to their tribe. Lang reads the letter aloud to the tribe, informing them that another challenge awaits, in which a supposed reward is up for grabs.
===Morgan===
Similarly to the Drake tribe, the four Morgan members are sat within their shelter, trying to shield themselves from the rain that is hammering down over the camp. 
Marcus stands over the burnt out fire, realising that the tribe should have done more to protect it during the storm.
When the rain ceases, Marcus and Callum go off to collect tree-mail, leaving Emma and Jamal to talk together in the shelter. The pair discuss voting out Mina, particularly Emma's worries over being at the bottom of the tribe. 
Callum and Marcus return, reading the same note to the tribe that Drake had received, sending them into another low mood realising that the expected merge is not coming.
===The Twist===
The Drake tribe stand ready on their mat, looking at wooden cages built near them. The Morgan tribe is called in, revealing to their competitors that Mina has been the sixth victim of the pre-merge phase. Once all ten are stood ready, Jeff begins to address them.
Both tribes look to the side, seeing the first six voted out contestants re-entering the game, all wearing purple buffs, with Juan carrying a tribe banner.
Jeff explains that the challenge will run between all three tribes will be competing, and that if either Drake or Morgan lose to 'The Outcasts', they will go to tribal council and vote somebody out of the game. However, for each individual voted out at the nights tribal council, 'The Outcasts' will vote somebody back into the game to replace them. In addition, Jeff tells the sixteen competitors that any 'Outcast' voted back into the game will be granted individual immunity at the next tribal council, giving them a fair shot to re-integrate themselves into the game. All three tribes are then given a moment to prepare, each operating with all their members. In order to combat the inequality of numbers, two members of Morgan (Marcus and Callum) will have extra knots holding them in their cells.
===Immunity Challenge===
Immunity Challenge: Pirate Prison Break
One member from each tribe must race to a jail cell to untie one tribe member before moving to the next cells where their other tribemates are waiting. At the last cell are sticks and rope the tribes must use to retrieve a key outside to escape the prison. The first tribe to free themselves from the prison and reach the finish mat wins the challenge.
Additional Stipulation: If The Outcasts win first place, both Drake and Morgan would go to Tribal Council to vote out a member. The Outcasts would then follow and vote two of them back in the game. If The Outcasts finish second, whichever tribe between Drake and Morgan that finished last would vote out a member, and one returning Outcast will replace that player. If The Outcasts finish last, their chance to return is forfeited. Any returning Outcast would then be immune the next time they visit Tribal Council.
Information: Lang, Jamal and Luke are selected as the key collectors for their respective tribes. Despite his speed, Jamal struggles at getting the keys effectively sorted to open the first cell, taking his time to release Callum. Of the three, Lang gets off to an early lead, making quick work of the first two cells where he is able to release Michael and Judith. Once all the tribe members have been untied, the groups begin tying together the sticks and rope, with Drake seemingly in the lead thanks to quick performances by Lang, Michael and Judith, whilst Juan, Lucy and Mina work well to keep 'The Outcasts' in the race. 'The Outcasts' begin arguing when Savannah is called out for standing and not helping the tribe, with Duncan similarly causing conflict for Drake after he accidentally breaks part of their nearly-built pole. Marcus takes charge for Morgan, placing their built pole out of the cell in an attempt to reach the keys (despite protest from Emma), the pole proves both flimsy and too short, resulting in the group needing to pull it back in. Emma takes charge in the rebuild, enabling Morgan to catch-up despite still being in last place. Both Juan and Michael set forth their tribes poles, catching their keys in an attempt to unlock the final cell. Drake's keys fall two metres from their cage, whilst 'The Outcasts' are able to get their back, unlocking their final cage door and claiming immunity, granting two of them the chance to re-enter the game.
Winner: The Outcasts
'The Outcast' tribe celebrate their victory, leaving both Drake and Morgan locked in their cages, knowing that as a result of their loss each tribe will go down a member, with two of those from 'The Outcasts' set to return to the game. Jeff informs both tribes that they will be attending tribal council later that evening, with Morgan attending first due to clearly being the tribe that remained in dead last throughout the challenge. The ten active players exit the game to return to their respective camps, with their initial thoughts of a merge now remaining a wish from the past.
===Morgan===
The four return to camp, knowing that their fears of being down to four members are going to increase, with only three now able to proceed to the true final ten of the game.
Over the next thirty minutes, the tribe get to work to try and get food collected and a fire going, knowing much of their poor performance was due to their lack of energy going into the challenge. Emma speaks with Callum whilst the pair collect firewood, bringing up that once again Marcus had a poor performance in the challenge.
After speaking with Callum, Emma returns with firewood and begins working on Jamal, giving him the same pitch that she gave to his ally.
Marcus returns to camp with two fish, preparing them for the group to eat before tribal council, stating it is their "last supper". When Emma is momentarily away from the group, Marcus confirms with his all-male alliance that the vote will be against her.
After their meal, the group wish one another luck, preparing their bags to head out to tribal council. Jamal and Callum continue privately talking, unsure whether Emma's pitch about bringing in numbers or Marcus' guaranteed loyalty is the more desirable moving forward. 
===Drake===
Having narrowly lost the challenge, the Drake tribe return to camp ready to begin deciding which of them should be the next to go. After Duncan's poor performance, Lang and Judith both appear to be annoyed, but also pleased due to having been given the opportunity to vote him off prior to a merge.
Duncan continues to shout at Lang, who does his best to reply as little as possible. Judith comes to Lang's defence quickly, calling out Duncan for his "horrible personality" and poor challenge performance. The pair continue to argue, with Duncan accusing Judith of constantly playing the role of a victim.
Michael and Grace walk away from camp during the argument, and are eventually followed by Holly and Duncan. 
Duncan continues to rant about Lang and Judith, but receives very little back off the other three, all of whom seem uncomfortably quiet when he looks for reassurance that he won't be the vote. Duncan quickly notices this as a sign they may be voting him, leading to further frustration.
Several minutes later, Holly attempts to speak with Duncan, trying to console him before breaking the news that Michael and Grace are unlikely to vote alongside him. However, Duncan quickly shuts down the conversation, accusing Holly of playing both sides, and ultimately betraying him. Holly seems disheartened by his attitude, going back to camp alone where she explains his continued anger to her tribe.
===Tribal Council===
===Morgan===
The Morgan four sit down, about to become the first tribe in Survivor history to dwindle below fifty-percent of its members during the pre-merge phase. The tribe are asked about their weak performance, which they blame on being malnourished heading into the challenge. However, Jeff brings up that the tribe and particular individuals have had several weak showings in immunity challenges, noting that only Emma showed strong leadership when building the pole. Emma agrees with this statement, feeling as though she was the only one performing as if she had something to lose, bringing up that she is certainly on the chopping block due to being the final girl in a "male-run tribe". Emma reiterates her earlier comments, citing Marcus as a consistent weak link and someone who is likely to hinder the group moving forward in it's "already precarious position". Marcus fluffs-off Emma's claim, feeling as though she is simply drawing attention to the fact her loyalties lay outside the tribe, and that in a merge she is the only person who he has any worries of flipping allegiances. Callum and Jamal both admit that the decision in voting either Emma or Marcus isn't easy (which shocks Marcus), as both offer good arguments for their own survival. Jamal talks over the sadness that he felt when voting Mina, and whether or not her return to the game would be a positive or a negative. Emma interrupts him by stating that anyone from their tribe returning (which is likely given the fact they make up a majority of 'The Outcasts') is only a positive if she is present over Marcus. Fearing for his safety for the first time, Marcus turns to Callum and Jamal, pleading his loyalty to them, and that to even consider saving Emma would be their downfall at the merge, as she has already shown she will vote outside of their alliance.
Marcus shakes his head in annoyance, grabbing his torch and heading over to Jeff without glancing back at Callum and Jamal. Emma takes a sigh of relief, whispering that she's "absolutely loyal" to both Jamal and Callum for saving her. Before heading back to their camp, the three are given a small pep talk by Jeff, and told to be ready for a new member to join them shortly.

===Drake===
At tribal council, the group take their seats, with only Duncan having packed the entirety of his belongings, being the only person who truly thinks they are being voted out. Jeff takes notice of this, questioning Duncan on why he will be leaving. Duncan announces that it is due to the tribe being full of two-faced individuals, then proceeds to expose each negative aspect of the Drake tribe.
Judith erupts in anger over Duncan's comments, feeling as though he is making a jibe at her due to her hearing impairment which impacts her speech, as well as an attempt to mock English being Lang's second language. A majority of the tribe come to the pairs defence, leaving Duncan somewhat bewildered as he denies making it "personal", instead suggesting that he was criticising the pair for mostly spending time together. Judith and Michael both continue to berate Duncan for his comments, leaving the tobacconist in a strange state of silence as he sees his time in the game is certainly up.
The tribe falls silent as Duncan lowers his head, clearly feeling some remorse for his comment being taken so personally. With nothing else to be discussed, and the result seeming unchanged, Michael is signalled to begin the vote.
Grace sits down as the final person to vote, leaving Jeff to collect the urn. As he begins to read the votes, Duncan places one hand on his bag, wanting to leave the tribal council area as soon as possible to escape the hostile atmosphere around him.
Duncan hastily grabs his things, only looking at Holly as he walks past his tribe, who gives him a look of sympathy. Judith gives a single clap as Duncan leaves, pleased to have outlasted her tribe nemesis. The remaining five members grab their belongings and head back to camp, feeling infinitely more positive about their tribal dynamic, but nervous to see who will be returning to join them.

===The Outcasts===
Jeff welcomes the six smiling Outcasts into the tribal council area, all carrying their extinguished torches, ready to make the decision to determine which two will have their fires re-lit and to earn a second chance at the title of Sole Survivor.
