==Story==
===Day 12 (Night)===
The remaining five members of the Morgan tribe return to camp having just emotionally voted out their ex-leader Juan. The group appear to be in low spirits after the vote, placing their belongings back down and silently standing round the fire for several minutes.
Several hours later, Jamal and Callum find themselves the only two members of the tribe still awake. The pair speak about their current position in the tribe, agreeing that they hold the power, and have guaranteed themselves spots at the merge.
===Day 13===
===Drake===
Judith reads tree mail aloud to the tribe, letting them know of the clues to the next reward challenge. Once finished, the remaining seven members of Drake begin to strategically plan as to how they can best win.
===Morgan===
The tribe begin their day by reading tree mail as a group, feeling determined to win the next reward challenge, having seen the value in raiding after being able to obtain Drake's fishing spear during the last raid.
===Reward Challenge===
Challenge: Paddle For Paddles
The tribes must row to one of four floating crates, where one person dives down to grab two ladder rungs. Once all eight are collected, they row back to shore. One person runs to an old well to pull up a bucket with an idol inside, bringing it back. Meanwhile, the rest build a puzzle ladder with the rungs gathered and the two side panels. Then, the runner climbs it with the idol. First runner to the top wins.
Reward: Bush shower, toiletries, cooking pot, rain jackets, and two jerrycans; loot one item from losing tribe; piece of treasure map.
Winner: Morgan
* Grace and Holly sit out for the Drake tribe.
===Drake===
After suffering another reward loss, the group return to camp in low spirits, quickly becoming aware that their dominance over their rivals has seemingly come to an end.
Michael and Grace walk down to the water together, standing as they await the boat from the Morgan tribe. The duo speak to one another, discussing the rise in tension between the tribe each time they lose a challenge.
Several minutes later, a boat approaches the Drake camp, with Emma jumping off upon its arrival to the shore. After formally introducing herself to those she has yet to meet, she begins the walk up to the camp where she begins looking at the different items the tribe owns.
After taking half the bag of rice, Emma says her goodbyes and leaves the Drake tribe, not wanting to spend an unnecessary amount of time away from Morgan's newly won shower. Once she has left, the group opt to cook themselves a portion of rice, and mull over their third loss in a short space of time.
===Morgan===
The group return to camp having just won the reward challenge, allowing them to send Emma off to Drake in order to loot another item. After Emma leaves, the group opt to concentrate on getting their camp chores completed, and to wait until the following morning to continue the search for the buried treasure.
The group use the spear to catch several fish, cleaning around the camp whilst their shower is being set up. During this time, Emma returns to camp with a bag of rice looted from Drake, much to the tribes delight. Mina prepares the fish with some of the rice, placing it in the pot that was also won during the reward challenge.
As the meal cooks, Jamal is the first to try out the shower, using the soap to clean himself properly for the first time in thirteen days. Jamal sings in delight as he rubs the soap into his scalp, much to the tribes amusement. 
Later that evening, each member of the tribe has had an opportunity to clean themselves off, eventually sitting down together to enjoy a hearty meal of fish and rice. The group appear to be growing closer by the day, laughing throughout the meal as they share stories from back home.
===Day 14===
===Drake===
Duncan and Holly go off together in order to collect water, leaving the others around camp to sit as time passes. During this time, the group talk about the possibility of losing, acknowledging that Duncan remains the obvious outsider within the tribe.
Whilst collecting water, Duncan and Holly talk through their strained relationship, trying to make amends after she broke trust when voting Luke out of the game.
The pair shake hands, eventually going into an awkward hug to cement their deal. They finish collecting the water and begin heading back to camp, agreeing not to campaign until after they know if they've lost the challenge, hoping someone else will paint a target on themselves over the coming day.
===Morgan===
The tribe get together and put the pieces of their treasure map in order, hoping to use the seemingly good weather to their advantage and spend the day searching for the buried loot.
The group begin digging in a new area, eventually hitting something solid beneath the ground.
The tribe begin screaming in delight as Marcus and Callum pull the buried treasure out from the ground, placing it above the hole before climbing out and unlocking it with their key. The group all try to hide their excitement, eager to find out what lays within the treasure both tribes have sought after for fourteen days.
The group open the lid of the chest, initially covering their noses as a foul stench emerges from within. The group quickly realise that the contents of the chest is the source of the smell, with the fourteen days below the surface having enabled moisture to seep into the chest, dampening the blankets within, and allowing a lot of the food inside to go stale.
The group take the chest and its contents back to camp, eventually sorting through it in order to determine what is safe to use. The group find some alcohol and chocolate in their chest, opting to consume it immediately, dumping much of the other food due to it having spoiled.
===Day 15===
The tribes prepare for the next immunity challenge, with Drake hoping to return to their winning streak, with another win supposedly guaranteeing themselves a majority over Morgan in the upcoming merge, whilst Morgan hope to keep their newfound wins going, further knocking Drake down by forcing them to vote out another member.
Challenge: Survivor Smoothie
Jeff has a spinning wheel of seafood/island-related items, which will be blended into a smoothie after they're spun up. In a tie, each tribe chooses the other tribe's representative for the tiebreaker, which involves six of the twelve items on the wheel.
Information: Remarkably, everybody competing manages to get their smoothie down without issue, thus ending the score on a 5-5 tie. In the result of a tie, both tribes are asked to select somebody from the other tribe. Drake select Jamal to drink again, whilst Morgan select Holly to drink again. Jamal manages to finish the smoothie first, handing the win to Morgan.
Winner: Morgan
* Danielle and Judith sit out for the Drake tribe.
===Drake===
Having just lost their second immunity challenge, the tribe return to camp having reached a new low, knowing any notion of them being the stronger tribe is now in the past. 
Grace comforts Holly with a hug, trying to help her tribe member keep her emotions together. The rest of the group join in with the comforting, not wanting Holly to solely take responsibility for the loss.
Whilst the group are all gathered together, Michael decides to break into a small speech, talking about taking a more honest and transparent approach to the vote "unlike the last (tribal)". He opts to speak to Duncan in front of the tribe, admitting that he'll be voting him out, and that he didn't wish to lie to him for a second time in the game.
Later in the day, the four women of the tribe are given some time alone by the water in order to freshen up. Danielle begins once again talking about the future of their games beyond the vote, much to the annoyance of the others, who seem less than interested in theorising votes that have yet to pass.
Judith sighs, clearly feeling anxious at the position Holly and Grace are forcing her into. As time passes, the group spends the remainder of the day around camp, not allowing many side conversations to take place. Duncan asks Holly for any reassurance, to which she tells him that it all may rest on Judith, much to his dismay. Grace and Holly each take turns whispering to Judith, trying to influence her into voting for Danielle, with the others oblivious to the behind the scenes work that is going on.
At tribal council, the group spend the opening portion discussing the blindside against Luke at their previous vote. Duncan talks through his initial anger towards the tribe for misleading him, but admits that he has since come to terms with their decision, and hopes that they'll give him another chance beyond this second vote. He continues by comparing his contribution in challenges against others, eventually quietening down and declining to directly attack any particular tribe members, following Grace's instructions. Several individuals talk about the unlikelihood that Duncan has a future in the game, regretfully noting that due to the last vote he will forever be a liability in a merge scenario. Holly interjects by praising this about Duncan, saying that his liability status makes him "predictable, unlike others" on the Drake tribe. In the final portion of tribal, the Drake tribe talk about their recent failure in challenges, and whether or not they can return to the early days in which they were consistently victorious. A majority of the tribe show optimism towards regaining their strong status, with Duncan finalising the point by claiming it will only be possible if the tribe look at strength rather than who voted in the minority beforehand. As the group go to vote, both Duncan and Holly are seen writing down Danielle's name, whilst Michael and Lang are shown casting their votes against Duncan. Judith is the final member to vote, writing a "D" on her parchment before letting out a sigh. Jeff returns with the now full urn, ready to reveal who will be the second member to leave the Drake tribe.
Danielle exclaims "wow" as she angrily stands, refusing to acknowledge her tribe as she takes her torch over to Jeff. Michael loudly tells Danielle that he didn't vote for her, looking around at his tribe mates as he tries to comprehend the result. Duncan becomes overwhelmed with emotion, placing his arms around Holly and repeatedly thanking her, looking over at Grace and Judith to quietly thank them both, although neither respond. After Danielle leaves, Jeff reminds the tribe that they have now pulled off two blindsides in two tribal councils, leaving everyone vulnerable for a potential third.
