### Previously On Survivor

After Tammy's surprise quit, the two tribes competed in reward for a fishing kit. Cabang won and had their choice of the third vial.

**Dan (quickly before anyone can argue)**: Jeff we choose vial four!

And inside this vial was a twist that completely changed the game.

**Stephanie**: A game-changing twist. The Mutiny. If you are unhappy with you current tribe, you can jump ship... Once I finish reading this message, we will all have one minute to decide if we want to mutiny.

Five people chose the mutiny.

**Jeff**: Star and Zandria mutinying from Menggala while Lindy, Abby, and Stephanie are mutinying from Cabang. Come on up and take your new buff.

But their new buff...

**Zandria (almost throwing buff)**: No way.

Everyone gasps as Zandria's hand is currently holding a brick red buff instead of a yellow or green.

**Jeff**: You will now be known as Kotabumi and will head to an entirely new camp. It will almost be like starting over at day 1, you'll have some basic supplies, but that's it.

At Kotabumi, the new tribe struggled to make fire but kept a positive attitude.

**Stephanie (excited)**: OK, that one lasted the longest yet, we're almost there.

Abby is standing by a tree looking at her nails.

At Menggala, Tyler tried to turn Lester against Jodie and Addi.

**Tyler (whispering)**: I think those two are an alliance.

**Lester (whispering back)**: You think so?

**Tyler**: Yeah, they've gotten very close over the past couple of days. They're going to be a dangerous duo. Addi's got the brawn while Jodie's got the brains.

And at Cabang, tensions ran high when they lost the immunity challenge, forcing the Cabang Five to turn on each other. Alex wanted Genesis out.

And Genesis returned the fire.

And Cabang agreed with Genesis, voting Alex out in a 4-1 vote. 14 remain, who will be voted out tonight?

### Night 8

#### Cabang

Light music plays as Cabang has come back from tribal. Everyone is relieved that they survived. Genesis hugs Ethan and Dan, thanking them.

Ethan and Dan sit by the beach for a little bit, absorbing in the tribal.

**Ethan**: I hope we made the right choice.

**Dan**: Only time will tell.

**Ethan**: I just hope we don't lose any more challenges anytime soon.

**Dan**: You and me both.

As Dan's confessional plays the opening credits start.

### Day 9

#### Reward Challenge

After the opening credits, the camera returns on Kotabumi and Menggala entering the reward challenge.

**Jeff**: Kotabumi and Menggala getting your first look at the new Cabang tribe. Alex voted out at the last tribal council.

As the new Cabang tribe enters the other two tribes seem more interested by what's underneath a cover by Jeff.

**Jeff**: Today, you're playing for reward. The first tribe to finish this obstacle course will win...

Jeff uncovers a fruit basket and live chickens.

**Jefff**: Food in the source of a fruit basket, eggs from the chickens, and the chickens themselves. And of course, the winning tribe will choose the fourth vial. Only three vials left to chose from, it's anyone's game, I'll give you a minute and then we'll get started.

 Winner

**Challenge Highlights**

* Kotabumi falls behind almost immediately as Abby, Star, and Zandria struggle to keep up with Stephanie.
* Cabang and Menggala manage to keep neck and neck with each other for the first half of the challenge.
* After wading a small stream, teams had to criss-cross in a braid-like formation that slowed down Menggala as they always managed to get to the cross just after Cabang, meaning they had to wait a couple of seconds each time for Cabang to cross.
* This small lead allowed Cabang to quickly steal away the challenge after they had to climb a small hill that Menggala struggled on.
* Cabang finished first, followed by Menggala, Kotabumi finished dead last, finally reaching the criss-cross section as Cabang crossed the finish line.

**Jeff**: CABANG WINS A FRUIT BASKET AND THREE LIVE CHICKENS!

Cabang, excited to win after the immunity challenge loss starts to celebrate as Menggala looks disappointed. Both tribes have to wait a bit for Kotabumi to finally reach the finish line.

**Jeff**: Pathetic showing by Kotabumi, what happened?

**Star**: It just wasn't our day Jeff.

Zandria rolls her eyes as a musical score plays. Jeff turns to Cabang.

**Jeff**: Cabang for winning this reward you also get to choose the next vial to open. I'll give you a minute to discuss it.

The four Cabang members gather around, whispering. The audience isn't filled in on what they're thinking. They eventually turn around.

**Forrest**: We'll take vial one.

**Jeff**: Come and grab and read it out loud.

Forrest and Dan come out and grab all of their rewards, carrying it back to their mat. Forrest opens the vial and pulls out the piece of paper.

**Forrest (reading)**: Congratulations, this vial gives your tribe the power to exile a member from the other tribe until the next immunity challenge. Note, if there are multiple tribes, one member from each tribe will be exiled. Remember, although the exiled will have limited supplies on Exile Island, they will also have other advantages. You will have a few seconds to discuss with your tribe who to choose.

Everyone's faces on Kotabumi and Menggala drop as Cabang grins.

**Jeff**: Jodie, you had a huge reaction.

**Jodie**: Yeah, I don't want to be away from my tribe for three days, so much could happen in that time, ten new alliances could form!

Genesis is struggling to contain her laughter as Jeff turns to Cabang.

**Jeff**: Dan, Cabang has a completely different reaction than Kotabumi and Menggala.

**Dan**: We're excited Jeff. If we choose the right person from each tribe that could destabilize them enough that we'll win the next challenge.

**Jeff**: Who does Cabang choose to exile?

The tribe looks at each other for a few seconds.

**Ethan**: We're choosing Tyler and Lindy.

Tyler and Lindy grimace as Jodie smiles.

**Jeff**: Alright, Tyler and Lindy a boat's waiting to take you to Exile Island, we'll see you at the next immunity challenge.

Tyler and Lindy say goodbye to their tribes as Jeff dismisses the three tribes. As music plays, we see Zandria and Star leaving the challenge.

#### Cabang

Light music plays as the chicken's can be heard squawking. Cabang has arrived back from the reward challenge and they are celebrating their win.

Genesis is giving the chicken some food to eat as she and Dan discuss their plans for eating them.

**Dan**: I'd like it if we eat them all before we have a merge or another swap, right? I mean we won these babies so I'd like it if only we ate them.

**Genesis**: I understand that, but I don't think we should just plow through them. Savor 'em, you know?

**Dan**: Honestly, I don't care that much, all I know is that if we swap and someone thinks they're getting a bigger piece of these cluckers than me, they're dead meat.

Genesis and Dan laugh as they continue talking as the camera fades.

#### Exile Island

The light and fluffy music playing at Cabang is suddenly contrasted by dark, foreboding music. A boat pulls up to an island and Lindy and Tyler are seen helping each other out of the boat. They introduce themselves to each other and start looking for a basic shelter which they were told would be provided.

**Lindy (out of breath)**: It's probably made out of rocks. S$#T! It's so rocky here!

Tyler watches Lindy struggle to climb up the side of the island before he offers a hand.

Lindy and Tyler get to the top of the island and find a small hut. There are two bowls sitting on a table nearby. The audience sees that a sign hanging off the table reads, **YOU MUST MAKE A DECISION. YOU CAN TAKE EXTRA RICE FOR YOUR TRIBE OR A CLUE TO THE HIDDEN IMMUNITY IDOL. EACH OF YOU MUST MAKE THIS CHOICE INDIVIDUALLY.**
Lindy nods her head and looks at the two options. Tyler reaches past her and grabs the clue.

**Lindy**: Well that took no time!

**Tyler**: I mean, no one on my tribe has to know that this was even a thing we had to chose from.

Lindy nods her head and grabs the clue as well.

**Lindy**: I guess this is our secret.

**Tyler**: I don't plan on telling anyone I have a clue to the idol.

Lindy nods her head and they both unwrap their clue.

**Tyler (reading)**: An idol is hidden at the Menggala camp, *not* near the beach. If you wish to gain more information about the location, you must find the second clue to your idol which is hidden at the next immunity challenge. At the next challenge, each block will have a hole in it. The hole in the letter Y will contain a clue to the idol.

**Lindy**: Mine says the same thing.

The camera shows Lindy and Tyler stepping inside the small hut which has a pot, small box of rice, and machete. The two of them set their bags down and start getting to know one another.

As Lindy's confessional ends, Tyler is preparing a little fire as Lindy looks out to the ocean.

**Lindy**: So what are you thinking about this game?

**Tyler (looking up)**: Honestly, I think it's something. I hope we don't go to tribal anytime soon because I think one vote is all it's going to take for us to self-implode.

**Lindy**: Yeah, everyone just seems... United.

**Tyler**: With Zandria on your tribe?

**Lindy**: I think she got a bad rap from you guys. She's actually been somewhat pleasant around camp. Heaven knows Star hates her guts but Zandria hasn't crossed me yet.

**Tyler**: Well, look, if Star or Zandria goes from your tribe next, I'll be one happy camper.

**Lindy**: Star?

**Tyler (shaking his head)**: Yeah, she's a backstabber. I wanted an alliance with her and what does she do? Mutiny the first chance she took.

Lindy shakes her head as she crouches down to help out Tyler with the fire.

As Lindy and Tyler continue to try and start a fire, the camera slowly fades into...

#### Menggala

Menggala is coming back from the challenge empty-handed as light music plays. Everyone sets their stuff down and talks about the absence of Tyler.

**Jodie (while drinking some water)**: He'll for sure have a hidden immunity idol.

**Lester**: You think he will?

**Jodie**: Oh no doubt about it! What other advantage could Exile Island give someone?

**Nick**: What if he does get it?

**Jodie (looking Nick in the eyes)**: I'm going to flush it out.

Nick shuffles around nervously as Lester smiles.

The camera shows Lester and Nick walking through the jungle, gathering some wood for the fire. They're talking about Jodie and her plan to flush out Tyler's idol.

**Nick**: I don't know if I'm just stupid... But I don't understand her plan.

**Lester**: I'm confused too. If she wants to flush it out, who's going to go? We only have five people.

**Nick**: That's what I don't get! I would understand if we had like seven people, or if she had told the plan to flush it to just two of us so it'd be three of us...

**Lester (puzzled)**: But why did she tell everyone?

**Nick (agreeing)**: Exactly. Flushing an idol doesn't work if everyone knows about it, because then that means Tyler decides who goes home.

Lester nods his head as the camera transitions to his confessional.

As Lester's confessional ends, the camera closes in on Jodie and Addi in the background, talking about something.

As Jodie's confessional ends, the camera has shifted to her and Addi back in camp talking about the idol.

**Jodie (whispering)**: I don't trust Nick or Tyler. I wish I could say I trust Lester but he's talking to everyone, I don't really know where he's at.

**Addi**: If we do go to tribal, he would be the swing vote. He'd have to choose us or the boys.

**Jodie**: And I wonder if he would take a 72-year-old woman over a fit young dude.

**Addi**: If we sell up the long term game he might swing over to us.

**Jodie**: Long term?

**Addi**: We just tell him what he wants to hear. If he takes me and you, he'll have more chances to win immunity rather than against Tyler, plus we tell him that we'll be easier to beat at the end rather than a gorgeous, charismatic model.

**Jodie (laughing)**: Or we turn the vote on Lester.

**Addi**: Take out Lester? Do you think Tyler would be on board?

**Jodie**: If we tell him that Lester was talking to us about taking out the man with an idol... I'd say probably.

Addi's laugh can be heard away from the shelter as it transitions to her confessional.

Thundering music can be heard building during Addi's confessional before the screen cuts to...

#### Kotabumi

Forceful music can be heard playing as Star's angry face comes into view. She's sitting in the shelter with Stephanie, fuming after the reward challenge.

During Star's confessional, the camera splices between different clips of Zandria laughing on the beach with Abby and Stephanie. She's washing a pot and the machete in the ocean while Stephanie cleans out her buff from the dirt from the reward challenge.

As Star's last confessional plays out, the camera stays on Zandria washing out the pot.

**Zandria (laughing)**: You know, it's nice to be treated like a normal person for once!

**Abby**: You got that right, at Cabang they treated me like I was some disposable waste, just waiting for the trash collector to come along and take me!

Zandria giggles at this as Stephanie continues quietly cleaning her buff.

**Zandria**: I just wish that Star would've stayed on Menggala.

**Stephanie**: Yeah, well she's here now. I guess you've got to coexist.

**Zandria**: I've been trying.

**Stephanie**: I think we all appreciate the two of you being nice to each other.

**Abby**: Oh totally, if I didn't like her I'd let her know *very* well.

**Zandria**: I'm just honestly thankful for the second chance I've gotten on this tribe! Everyone has just treated me so well.

**Stephanie**: You just gotta take this game one day at a time.

As Stephanie talks, the camera abruptly cuts to a commercial break.

### Day 11

#### Cabang

The camera comes back on to the Cabang tribe on the morning of Day 11. Genesis is sitting with her feet in the water, watching Dan and Ethan out in the water trying to catch fish with their kit. Dan and Ethan manage to catch one and hold it up for Genesis to see. She cheers from the beach and laughs.

The camera cuts to Genesis and Ethan who are walking through the woods. Genesis is laughing about something Ethan said. They pass by Dan who is returning with some sticks for the fire. He turns his head and watches the two walk off.

Dan waits a bit and tags behind the two. He crouches in the bushes as they fill up their water pot.

**Genesis**: I'm just nervous about the challenge today.

**Ethan (trying to encourage her)**: Don't fret about it! We're a strong tribe. We're going to win it!

**Genesis**: Yeah well... we thought we would win it last time.

**Ethan**: True... *(pauses)* We'll just make sure Dan doesn't shot a slingshot this time.

A censor bar covers Dan's mouth, although inaudible to the audience and the two. Genesis lets out a giggle as she finishes filling up the pot.

**Genesis**: I just don't know what would happen if we were to lose... I love you all so much.

**Ethan**: Yeah it would be tough... but we don't have to worry.

They put the lid back on the water well and Dan scurries away, making it to camp before them.

The camera lingers on Dan who is watching Genesis laying in the shelter before the camera cuts to...

#### Kotabumi

Zandria's calm face fills the screen as the camera pulls back to show her in a yoga pose. Both her eyes are closed, and she is in a deep meditation. In the background, the Kotabumi camp can be seen, a fire is smoking.

**Star (suddenly breaking the silence)**: ZANDRIA! THE RICE IS DONE!

Zandria's eyes suddenly open and she rolls her eyes as she goes back to her meditaiton.

The camera cuts to Zandria eating her rice. Everyone else except Stephanie is already finished and enjoying the ocean. Stephanie is twisting the lid back on the rice and hanging up her water canteen.

**Zandria (chewing)**: Hey Steph, what do you think about Star?

**Stephanie**: I think she's nice but...

**Zandria (cutting her off)**: Oh?

**Stephanie**: You don't agree?

**Zandria**: Since I've lived with her for 11 days now... No.

The camera suddenly cuts to Zandria in a clearing talking to the camera.

The camera jumps back to Stephanie.

**Stephanie**: You keep saying she's been awful to you... What happened?

**Zandria (looking away)**: She just... she's been... I'm genderfluid. I don't know if she is just ignorant about it or if she's simple-minded or what. But ever since she learned that...

Stephanie perks her head up and looks at Zandria.

**Stephanie (going in to hug Zandria)**: Oh my... I'm so sorry Zandria. Look, no matter what Star or anyone thinks, I'm here for you.

Zandria accepts Stephanie's hug and the two stay in an embrace for a couple of seconds.

The camera cuts to Stephanie and Star who are alone in the woods. Stephanie stops and turns to Star, her expression serious.

**Stephanie**: This might sound like it's coming out of nowhere but do you support people who don't identify as cisgender and straight?

**Star (caught off guard)**: What? Yes! Why?

Stephanie bits her lips and turns back towards camp, which is almost entirely covered by foliage.

**Stephanie (whispering)**: What is happening?

**Star**: Steph, are you OK? What's going on?

Star grabs Stephanie's shoulder and turns Stephanie to face her.

**Star**: What is going on? Why did you ask that question?

**Stephanie (confused)**: Zandria said that you didn't support her when she came out as genderfluid to you.

**Star**: What?! Zandria told me she was lesbian.

**Stephanie**: I'm just...

The camera cuts to Zandria who is sitting, stoking the fire. Abby is sitting next to her. Stephanie and Star come walking back into camp and sit down next to Zandria. After a couple of minutes of silence, Stephanie breaks the silence.

**Stephanie**: OK, I'm just going to be honest... Not everyone here has been honest. You both told me different things and I just need to get right to it... Which one of you is lying?

A sharp musical sting occurs as Zandria keeps stirring the fire.

**Zandria**: What do you mean?

**Stephanie**: What you told me about Star, was it true?

Zandria smirks and looks up.

**Zandria**: Yeah, I lied Stephanie. I'm sorry, I shouldn't have. I want you to know, I really am genderfluid though. I just told Menggala that I was a lesbian so that it would be simpler for them.

**Stephanie (whispering)**: Wow.

**Zandria**: Star didn't react negatively. I am truly sorry Star, that I threw your name under the bus like that, it was irresponsible, and I should have known better.

**Star (struggling to keep her cool)**: Why Zandria?

**Zandria (going back to stirring the fire)**: I was just trying to play this game.

**Abby (barely audible)**: I can't believe this.

The entire tribe falls into silence as the crackle of the fire can be heard.

The silent Kotabumi four quietly transitions to...

#### Menggala

The camera, which was focused high up in a tree quickly moves down to reveal Jodie is lying face down in the sand. Addi comes running up to her, tense. Addi's quickly moving to action and flipping Jodie over.

**Addi (screaming)**: NICK! LESTER! OH my GOD! Jodie, are you OK?

**Jodie (casually)'**: I don't think I broke a leg...

**Addi**: Think?

**Jodie**: I mean it hurts like a son of a gun but I'll live.

Lester and Nick finally come running up the beach and see Jodie on the ground.
**Lester**: Are you OK? What happened.

**Addi**: I think Jodie should see a medic.

**Jodie**: Oh please.

**Nick**: What happened?

**Jodie**: I was trying to climb the tree to grab that coconut when I fell, it's nothing serious.

**Nick (concerned)'**: I think you should see someone...

**Lester**: Yeah Jodie, a broken leg is serious.

**Jodie**: Fine, if it will make you all feel better.

The camera cuts to some time later where a medic has come out with Jeff to the Menggala camp to check in on Jodie.

Jodie is still lying down as the medic asks her pain level.

**Jeff (crouching down)**: So what's going on Dr. Ramona?

**Dr. Ramona (busy working)**: Right now I am just checking out the leg, testing it to make sure it's not broken or fractured. Based on the height she has fallen from, the leg should look a lot worse than the shape it is in so that is a good sign.

**Jeff**: So could this injury pull Jodie from the game?

**Dr. Ramona**: I've just started examining so it is too early to tell, but if it is broken or fractured we'd have no choice but to pull her and perform surgery to repair it, otherwise it would grow back broken and cause other problems.

Jodie groans and looks at Nick and Lester.

**Jodie (laughing)**: I hope you're happy!

**Jeff**: Jodie, you are laughing, what's currently going on in your head?

**Jodie**: I'm just trying to think in a positive light Jeff. It doesn't hurt that bad, so I'm confident Dr. Ramona where will find everything's alright.

Dr. Ramona keeps examining Jodie's leg and eventually draws her conclusions.

**Dr. Ramona**: So nothing seems to be broken or fractured, it just looks like she's going to have a big bruise on her leg for a while. It would be in her best interest to no longer climb trees to grab coconuts.

**Jeff**: Just so we're clear, you are not pulling Jodie from the game?

**Dr. Ramona**: Not at this time no. However, if her leg does start to feel worse or more injured, I want a second look at it immediately.

**Jeff**: OK, in that case, I will see you all at the challenge later.

Jeff and the medical team climb aboard the boat and leave as Jodie gets help up and walks back to camp.

Jodie sighs and looks at her tribe.

**Jodie**: The only bad thing about today is I have to do the challenge, I sat out of the reward.

**Lester**: Can you do it?

**Jodie**: It'll probably hurt like he%# but I'll get it done.

**Nick (playfully giggling)**: You better!

Jodie laughs as Lester looks nervously at his tribe.

#### Exile Island

The camera comes in on Lindy and Tyler sitting by the fire, waiting for the challenge later.

**Tyler**: What if... I offered you a cross-tribal alliance.

**Lindy (her interest peaked)**: Cross-tribal alliance?

**Tyler**: Yeah, that way when we merge, we have numbers and could work together undetected.

**Lindy**: Who would be in this alliance?

**Tyler**: Me, Nick, you, and the person you trust most on your tribe who isn't named Zandria or Star.

**Lindy (tilting her head)**: So Stephanie or Abby?

**Tyler**: Yeah, I just want Star and Zandria out first.

**Lindy**: Understandable.

**Tyler**: I guarantee you if we lose tonight, we're voting out Jodie or Addi, and that's how you'll know it's real.

**Lindy**: That's quite an offer.

**Tyler**: All I ask for in return, is Zandria or Star gone from your tribe if you lose, and then the other.

**Lindy (nodding)**: I'll have to think about it.

**Tyler**: Take your time, you have until you go to tribal.

**Lindy**: If you lose a second time though, you have to vote out Lester.

Tyler pauses for a moment before shaking his head.

**Tyler**: I could do that.

Tyler and Lindy grab their stuff, ready to go off to the challenge as Lindy's confessional plays.

#### Immunity Challenge

The tribes come in for the challenge, and Tyler and Lindy rejoin their tribes.

**Jeff**: Today, you'll compete for immunity. Each tribe will have four members, you will stand in a semi-circle and starting with the letter Y, build the word immunity, one letter at a time while balancing yourselves on a rope. If you or the letters fall off, you have to restart. The first *two* tribes to finish will be safe tonight, losers will meet me at tribal council where someone will be the fourth person voted out off Survivor: The Seven Vials, I'll give you all a moment to strategize and then we'll begin.

The camera cuts to Lindy who is talking with her tribe.

**Lindy**: If it's all right you guys, I'd like to start first with Y.

**Stephanie**: Yeah that's cool with me.

The camera then cuts to Menggala who is discussing the order as well.

**Tyler**: I want to go first.

**Jodie**: I kind of wanted to go first though, with my leg...

**Tyler**: You said your leg was hurt though, right? So if you go last then you have to bend over less and therefore it would be easier on your leg.

**Jodie (nodding her head)**: Makes sense to me, I'll do it then.

The camera then cuts to the normal, challenge camera layout.

 Winners
 Loser

**Challenge Highlights**

* Lindy and Tyler as soon as the challenge starts, turn and slip the idol clue into their pocket/shorts before starting with the Y. This gives Cabang a quick, two second lead on the other tribes.
* Cabang maintains their lead while Kotabumi slows down during Zandria's turn.
* Menggala manages to speed things up during Lester and Addi's run but slow back down to the other two tribes during Jodie's turn who takes her time.
* Cabang is the first to have someone go twice, with Genesis growing their lead.
* Zandria slows Kotabumi down yet again, and Star starts shaking her head on the platform.
* Cabang finishes first, winning immunity. The tribe throws their rope and starts celebrating. \*This distracts Tyler who starts to let his rope slip, almost sending the tower crashing but Addi yells at him to pay attention.
* Despite Jodie taking her time, it pays off and Menggala finishes in second, sending Kotabumi to tribal council.

**Jeff**: CABANG AND MENGGALA WIN IMMUNITY! KOTABUMI WILL HEAD TO TRIBAL COUNCIL TONIGHT.

Star starts wiping tears as Stephanie gives her a hug.

**Jeff**: Star, you look upset.

**Star (crying)**: It's just been a long day Jeff, and it just got even longer.

**Jeff**: That's Survivor, I'll see you tonight at tribal council.

The three tribes are seen leaving as the camera lingers on Cabang celebrating their first place victory.

#### Kotabumi

Dismal music plays as Kotabumi comes back from the challenge. They set their stuff down in their shelter and just stand there for a while.

**Zandria**: So how was exile?

**Lindy**: Well, we got there and there was a challenge we had to do, Tyler won so he got to go into this hut where he had to do another challenge to either get an idol clue or not.

**Stephanie (excited)**: Did he get it?

**Lindy**: No... He lost. He was so upset by it, it kind of soured his mood for the rest of the time I think...

Star suddenly sits down in the shelter and starts crying. After a while she stops.

**Star (sniffly)**: I just want to say that I'm sorry for crying at the challenge and right now, that was unacceptable. It was weak, and it just made us look even worse in front of the other teams.

**Lindy (comforting her)**: Oh it's fine Star, it was hard for all of us.

Stephanie hugs her as Zandria goes off walking away from camp.

The camera cuts back to camp where Lindy looks around, wondering where Zandria is.

**Lindy (excited)**: So what happened while I was gone?

**Abby (leaving camp)**: Oh boy. I'll let you two explain.

Lindy's face is covered in confusion as Stephanie rolls her eyes. The camera follows Abby who walks away from camp and finds Zandria by the beach. She comes over to her and sits next to her.

**Abby (whispering)**: Just so you know... I'm voting with you tonight.

**Zandria (hopeful)**: Really?

**Abby**: Yeah, we vote Star, and the only vote we need is Lindy's.

**Zandria**: Do you think she'd vote with us?

**Abby**: If you let me do all the talking. You just keep washing those pots girls, keep being helpful around camp and I'll make sure it's Star walking out of tribal council tonight.

The camera has picked up some time later as Abby is standing next to Lindy, whispering about the vote.

**Abby**: I know your first instinct is to vote her out.

**Lindy**: That was my current plan.

**Abby**: I just want to run an idea by you, something to consider.

**Lindy**: I'm listening...

**Abby**: If you, me, and Zandria vote out Star tonight, we keep an obvious goat in this game, and get rid of someone who has the potential to win this game. Plus, we have an obvious boot next tribal.

**Lindy**: That's an offer worth thinking about...

**Abby**: All I'm going to say now is, if you want to win this game, keeping Star would be a mistake. Taking Zandria to the end would be so easy... It would be stupid to vote someone like her out now.

Lindy nods her head, taking in Abby's words. She says she'll think more about it, she just wants to be left alone for a few minutes to take everything in. Abby nods and says she'll be back at camp.

As soon as Abby is completely gone from Lindy's view. She reaches into her shorts and pulls out the idol clue. She unravels it and reads it.

**Lindy (reading)**: This is the second clue to the idol. An idol is hidden at the Kotabumi camp, *not* near the beach. To find this idol, search high in the air. Over a patch of water, immunity is right in your grasp...

The camera cuts to Star who is still sitting in the shelter. Zandria is using a makeshift broom to sweep the area around the shelter. Star rolls her eyes whenever Zandria sweeps past her.

The camera cuts to Zandria is grabbing her torch as the rest of the tribe lines up to go out for tribal.

As Zandria's confessional ends, dramatic music plays louder and louder until it final cuts to black.

## Tribal Council

After the commercial break, the camera comes back on Kotabumi entering tribal council. They sit down and Jeff looks at them.

**Jef**: Stephanie, in the last two out of three challenges, you have failed miserably. This tribe has been one of the worst I have ever seen at challenges. What does it do for your tribe?

**Stephanie**: It's humilating. We would love to not be curb-stomped by the other two tribes but it just hasn't worked out for us yet.

**Jef**: Star, your tribe is taking a very passive role, saying things like the challenges haven't been in your favor, what will take for your tribe to get more active in determining whether or not you win?

**Star**: I think we need to solve our own issues at camp first. We have our problems and I think they in some part at least interfer with our ability to do well in challenges.

**Jeff**: Zandria, what is the tribe's problems?

**Zandria (laughing)**: I think some people here would say it is me.

**Jeff**: Would you care to elaborate?

**Zandria**: I've been playing this game, I got caught playing this game and now there's some hard feelings on both sides. I'm willing to let it go.

**Star (snickering)**: Yeah, because you let go of grudges so easily.

**Zandria**: Case in point.

**Jeff**: Star, I'm assuming you're the other side that Zandria is referring to.

**Star**: That'd be a correct guess. Zandria has lied to me and Stephanie.

**Jeff**: So Stephanie, if Zandria is right in that you and Star view her as part of Kotabumi's problem, what does that mean for tonight's vote?

**Stephanie**: I think it's not secret that me and Star are voting together tonight against Zandria. I've talked to Abby and Lindy and I think that they see Zandria should go to.

Zandria smirks as Jeff turns his attention to Lindy.

**Jeff**: Lindy, you've been gone for three days and you come back to all of this happening. What's going through your mind?

**Lindy**: It's been kind of like a he-said, she-said type of deal. I'm hearing both sides of their stories, they differ a little, but overall I'm just trying to get a sense of what went down since I left.

**Jeff**: Abby, what is going through your mind?

**Abby**: I think instead of thinking short term, we should think long term. There's a long term answer and a short term answer. The short term answer might seem easy, but the long term has a better payout for everyone involved here.

Star leans forward at this, shaking her head as Stephanie rolls her eyes.

**Stephanie**: If we think too long term, we won't survive the short term and it won't matter what's best long term.

**Abby (nodding her head)**: Fair point.

Jeff looks at the tribe for a few minutes before he says it's time to vote. Star walks up to the voting booth and her vote for Zandria is shown.

Stephanie and Abby are shown walking up as Zandria is shown writing down an ST and her voting confessional plays.

The camera finally shows Lindy walking up to the voting booth. She stands there for a few minutes before she writes down a name. Her confessional plays, but her vote is not shown to the audience.

Lindy comes back and sits down as Jeff goes and tallies the votes.

**Jeff (returning)**: If anyone has a hidden immunity idol and would like to play it, now would be the time to do so.

The camera lingers on Lindy for a few seconds as no one moves.

**Jeff**: Once the votes are read the decision is final, the person voted out must leave the tribal council area immediately. I'll read the votes.

**First Vote**: Zandria.

Zandria nods, expecting the vote.

**Second Vote**: Zandria.

**Third Vote**: Star, that's two votes Zandria, one vote Star.

Star nods her head, expecting a vote to come her way.

**Fourth Vote**: Star. That's two votes Star, two votes Zandria, one vote left.

Star gulps and looks at Abby and Lindy who remain motionless. Zandria is sitting on the edge of her seat, hope filling her eyes.

**Fifth Vote**:

And the fourth person voted out of Survivor: The Seven Vials.

Zandria.

**Jeff**: Zandria, that's three and that's enough I need you to bring me your torch.

Zandria smiles and offers her hand to Star who lightly shakes it. Star lets out a small smile as Abby sits back in her chair, shaking her head.

**Abby (whispering to Lindy)**: Stupid, stupid move.

Zandria brings her torch over to Jeff who snuffs it out.

**Jeff**: Zandria, the tribe has spoken.

Zandria turns her head back to her tribe and waves goodbye as she walks out. Abby is still visibly angry at the results.

**Jeff**: A close vote that seems based on long vs. short term strategy. The real question is, did you make the right call? Head on out I'll see you at the next reward challenge.

Kotabumi stands up and collects their torches as the tribal council music plays. Right before the screen cuts to black, Abby's words are dubbed on the screen.

**Abby**: That was the stupidest move I've ever seen on this show.

### Still in the Running

 Abby

## Next Time on *Survivor*

Abby is mad.

"I'm sorry but you are wrong, I was right and now we're both screwed."

Lindy is hunting for an idol.

"I'm hiding in the bushes, when she starts walking down the path to enjoy some time in the water..."

On Menggala, Tyler enlists the help of an ally.

"You're the only person I'm showing this to."

And on Cabang, an argument could be the end of someone's game.

"I'M NOT AGAINST YOU!"

"I thought we'd just be one big happy family but I guessed wrong."
