Good and Guilty is the second episode of .
==Story==
===Night 3===
Ika returns to camp from Tribal Council emotionally exhausted but unified after voting out Zach Wurtenberger together. Tori Meehan thanks her tribe for keeping her, and Rocksroy Bailey tells her she never had anything to worry about. However, the hunger is taking its toll on her. Tori digs in to find the mental fortitude to carry on as Drea Wheeler laments that the days will only get harder.
===Day 4===
On Vati, Chanelle Howell and Jenny Kim look for food. Though they find no breadfruit, they come across a live crab. They freak out at first, but overcome their fear to catch it and bring it back to cook.
Chanelle cooks the crab, likening it to a New Orleans seafood boil. Chanelle tells Mike Turner that he can eat the crab legs and claws. The tribe enjoys their first family meal together, and are surprised by how the crabmeat tastes. However, Hai Giang's veganism forces him to sit out of the meal. He fears that this will weaken him and cause him to be seen as a liability by his tribemates. Meanwhile, Mike is eager to be eating "real food" and burgers in 24 days, and apologizes to Hai when he realizes he mentioned meat.
Chanelle and Daniel Strunk console Hai. Hai grapples with his morals and principles, realizing that the lack of rice forces him to eat meat. Thus, he believes that he can make an exception for Survivor just to give himself the strength to continue in the game. Chanelle and Daniel hug Hai before they walk back to the shelter. Hai gives in and eats the crabmeat, the first food that he has had in five days. He admits that he feels "good and guilty".
At Taku, patience for Maryanne Oketch's unfiltered ebullience is wearing thin, especially with Marya Sherron. Maryanne uses the machete to hack a log, causing Jonathan Young to move his seat away from her before she screams "Here's Maryanne," referencing The Shining. She then waves the machete around like a wand and announces "You're watching CBS," referencing Disney Channel, before singing the Survivor theme. She picks up a stick insect, and Omar Zaheer jokes that it probably wants her to put it down.
Omar shares about his religion with his tribe. As a Muslim, he says he will be doing daily prayers and assures his tribemates that he is not looking for idols. Maryanne offers to weave a palm frond prayer mat for Omar, and Omar opens up to questions from any of his tribemates that wish to learn about his religion. Jonathan reciprocates, offering to share about Christianity. Lindsay Dolashewich admits that she is not "a great Jew".
Omar talks about his faith. As a devout Muslim, he is glad that his tribemates are equally devoted to their own religions, but are also open to accepting him and his religion. He thanks Maryanne for the prayer mat and does a morning prayer.
At Ika, Rocksroy tends the campfire as Drea sits in the smoke to ward off the flies. Drea and Rocksroy consolidate their plan to vote Tori out next. In a confessional, she runs through her options: she is currently aligned with Rocksroy and Romeo Escobar, but believes that a women's alliance could be the way to go instead. She approaches Tori and Swati Goel with her idea, and uses her Extra Vote as leverage to seal the deal. Though Swati and Tori tell her they are in, Swati sees Drea's social game as a threat and considers blindsiding her instead. Seeing Swati as her number-one, Tori agrees.
At Vati, Mike and Jenny are breaking wood for the fire. As Mike collects wood for camp, he makes it a point to search for Hidden Immunity Idols. He comes across the Beware Advantage. With little hesitation, he opens the package and learns that he has to say a phrase at an Immunity Challenge to activate his idol. He also discovers that, until then, he has lost his vote. He realizes he has to amp up his social game to protect himself. Before he returns to camp, he buries his package somewhere in the jungle.
Back at Taku, Jonathan sees Omar struggling with a coconut and offers to teach him how to chop a coconut. Omar thanks him for his help. Jonathan then offers to make Omar a bracelet and a necklace. Omar confesses that he has never peed standing up until he was an adult, making his tribemates laugh. Jonathan and Omar see that they complement each other's differences, and agree to work as a pair. Jonathan considers his relationships on Taku: he is close with both Lindsay and Omar, and enjoys Maryanne's presence. However, he is unsure about Marya.
In a group chat, Marya shares that her purpose for playing Survivor is to honor her brother, who passed from COVID-19 near the start of the pandemic. She talks about her brother and wants to find closure through Survivor, which has been difficult to do as a stay-at-home mom. Marya shows the tribe her necklace which has his face etched, and tells them she plans to bury it on the island.
Back at Vati, Mike tells Jenny that he has found the idol. Mike also decides to align with Daniel, hoping to use his strategic thinking to figure out what to do with the idol. He explains to Daniel that the idol is a "tri-way" Immunity Idol, but it has not been activated yet. When Mike leads Daniel to where he buried the idol, he realizes he cannot find it. Daniel is amused by what he sees as sloppy gameplay. Mike gets worried, especially because he cannot recall his activation phrase.
After scouting several forks in the road, Mike recovers the idol and tells Daniel that he cannot vote until the idol is activated. Daniel enjoys the twist, and intends to use this knowledge to his advantage. He convinces Mike that he is safe for the time being and does not need to activate his idol yet.
Daniel shares with Chanelle that Mike has lost his vote. They agree it would be best for their game that the idol is never activated; they could either vote Mike out or keep him convinced to not say the phrase. Chanelle is open to use this information against Mike should Vati have to attend Tribal Council.
===Day 5===
The tribes enter the Immunity Challenge. Taku and Vati welcome Ika in, seeing that Zach has been voted out, to Maryanne's dismay. Maryanne reveals that Zach is "every type of white guy that [she] has a crush on", and Zach's elimination has prevented them from meeting. Maryanne jokes that she has been rejected by every guy she has ever liked, but Jeff Probst encourages her to "keep hope alive". Jeff takes the idol back from Vati, and Omar pulls back on Taku's idol, amusing his tribemates. Jeff then explains the mechanics of the challenge: Can't Find My Way Home. The tribes will also be playing for fishing gear as reward, and Jonathan is determined to win it. Ika will also be playing to earn their flint back. Vati sits Daniel out, and the tribes start the challenge.
Drea, Lydia, and Jonathan were selected as callers for Ika, Vati, and Taku respectively. Amidst the noisy cacophony, the tribes are evenly matched, though Vati gets their first two bags of puzzle pieces first. However, Jonathan's distinctive growls allow Taku to retrieve all their puzzle pieces first, and he leads his tribe to the puzzle station. Ika is narrowly behind, entering second place as Lydia struggles to see what is happening with Chanelle and Jenny at the spool, putting Vati in dead last. Rocksroy hits his groin against an obstacle, prompting Daniel to comment "You gotta protect the balls, Rocksroy." from the sit-out bench.
Finally, Vati has all three bags of puzzle pieces, and Lydia rushes to lead her tribe to their station. The tribes begin working on their puzzles. While Ika and Vati start from the outside going in, Jonathan opts to work from the inside out, but the tribes remain evenly matched. Lydia pulls off a comeback, allowing Vati to place first and win immunity. Within seconds of each other, Tori puts the last piece in for Ika and narrowly defeats Taku to win immunity.
Jeff congratulates both Ika and Vati, and tells them their fishing gear will be waiting for them at camp. He then takes the flint back from Taku before telling them he will meet them at Tribal Council. Maryanne likens her impending first visit to Tribal Council to a bad first date and hopes for the best.
Returning to camp, Jonathan and Omar affirm their alliance with each other and look at their options. Omar believes that, in the long term, Maryanne is less trustworthy, but in the short term, will be more helpful than Marya. Regardless of their decision, they have to make both Marya and Maryanne feel safe to avoid a Shot in the Dark from messing up their plans.
Jonathan and Omar assure Maryanne that she is safe. Lindsay and Omar meet Marya in the ocean, and Marya proposes getting rid of Maryanne because of her frenetic energy, which she thinks is too much to live with for 26 days. Maryanne tells Jonathan she knows it is her and Marya on the chopping block, and Marya tells Omar and Lindsay the same. Both women plan to go against each other tonight. Marya feels there may be something amiss, and resolves to bring her die to Tribal Council.
Maryanne attempts to control her paranoia, but is nervous that she may have lost her vote at the summit on Day 2. Thus, she hunts for an idol, and is caught by Lindsay and Marya, who see through her lie that she was looking for flowers. Lindsay is unsettled by Maryanne's frantic behavior.
Jonathan, Lindsay and Omar strategize, and Omar says he values people who will gel together socially. Lindsay and Omar agree that Marya's loyalty may be an asset. However, Omar believes Maryanne's energy may be crucial to tribe morale and challenge performance. He jokes to Lindsay and Marya that Maryanne may find romance at Ponderosa with her crush Zach. As Taku walks to Tribal Council, Omar laments that this family of five is about to lose a member.
Jeff welcomes Taku to their first Tribal Council and gets the members to light their torches. Jeff comments on Omar's excitement at attending Tribal Council, but draws attention to the truth that Tribal Council is a ceremony where "death happens". Marya agrees with Omar that Taku has become a tight family over the past five days, and it would be difficult to cut anyone off. Omar invokes Darwin's theory of evolution as an analogy: because of the Shot in the Dark, everybody has to think that they are safe, but not everybody can be safe. Jonathan thinks that strength in Survivor comes in numerous forms—physical, mental, and social—but all of them are necessary for success; Lindsay agrees. Jeff remarks that not all five Taku members can be correct in their assumption that this vote will make them stronger, and Lindsay replies that it does get tricky when it comes to balancing paranoia and trust.
Jeff then asks about how the Shot in the Dark has impacted strategy. Maryanne concurs that it adds more complication to the game, forcing alliances to consider multiple "subsections" to their plans. Maryanne pleads her case, wanting to learn more and spend more time with her tribe; she jokes that does not want to be sent to meet Zach. Jeff comments that, even in the danger of Tribal Council, Maryanne still has love on her mind. She replies that she is insecure from being a 23-year-old who has yet to have a romantic relationship. Even though her end goal is to win the game, she wants to be able to stop and smell the roses, enjoying the little things along the way.
Conceding that it would be hard to boot Maryanne, Marya explains her strategy in the game. She wants to withdraw from being the "mom" like in the real world, putting herself first instead of falling into the caretaker role. Lindsay admits that the vote will be difficult either way; it will be hard to balance personal relationships and optimal gameplay without having one overshadow the other. Jonathan concludes the discussion by saying that there is a line between emotions and the game—"it's that simple". 
The tribe goes to vote, and Maryanne discovers that she has received an Extra Vote from her gamble at the summit. She pockets it and returns to her seat after casting her vote. Omar steps up to vote, and is shown writing "Mary" on the parchment. Jeff then tallies the votes and returns to the podium.
When prompted, Marya steps up and hands Jeff the Shot in the Dark scroll. Jeff opens it to reveal that Marya is "Not Safe". Jeff then reads the votes, and Marya is voted out unanimously, 4-0. On her way out, she wishes her tribe good luck, and Jeff sends Taku back to camp.
==Challenges==
Reward/Immunity Challenge: Can't Find My Way Home
One caller for each tribe must guide two pairs of tribe members around a series of obstacles to retrieve three bags of puzzle pieces. In order to do this, each tribe must perform three tasks while blindfolded: unscrew a handle to release one bag; unspool a rope from a winch to release a second bag; and dig through sawdust to retrieve a final bag. Once all three bags have been returned to the caller, the caller will lead their tribemates to a puzzle station. The caller will guide their still-blindfolded tribemates to complete a circular jigsaw puzzle. The first two tribes to finish win.
Reward: Fishing gear
Additional Stipulation: The losing tribe must forfeit their flint, though they can win it back if they win the next Immunity Challenge.
