Searching For Treasure

**The remaining campers are on a scavenger hunt for keys.**

## Plot

The episode begins with the camera showing a chipmunk searching for nuts and eventually giving some to it's babies. Shortly after, the camera cuts to Rylee who gets out of her trailer and stretches after having a good nights sleep. She then reclines on her chair and relaxes. The camera then shows Adam and Lucas on the dock, with Adam swimming and Lucas daydreaming while watching Lucas. Lucas eventually gets out of the water dripping in water. He then asks Lucas what he's daydreaming about, causing Lucas to say "Nothing!"

The camera then cuts to Chris in a pirate costume, who fires a cannon, then quickly covers his ears. The cannonball hits the potter potty and Rylee is seen opening the door and running out of it, screaming. He then announces that all campers need to report to the amphitheater for their next challenge in a pirate accent. The campers enter the amphitheater and Rylee enters panicked and tells Chris about the cannonball, but he brushes it off as the remaining campers sit down. Chris, still in the pirate costume and with the accent, begins to describe the challenge, saying that it will be a "good, old-fashioned, treasure hunt." Jada rolls her eyes and expresses her annoyance for the challenge stating "Aren't we a little old for a treasure hunt?" but Chris continues. He explains that the treasure hunt "has a twist," in that what they're searching for isn't hidden and isn't treasure, making Abe groan, and asks why they should even search if there won't be any gold or money involved. Chris then says that they will be searching for keys to treasure chests containing prizes. Chef holds out a bucket, and tells the campers to take a clue from it.

The campers take the clues from the bucket, and after Jaylen grabs the last one, Chris explains that the clues they pick will have a drawing that gives them a hint of where their key is hidden in the camp. Ellis groans when she notices the bear symbol on her card stating that she hates that she always has to deal with the big animals. Sammie encourages her stating that she managed to go against the Sasquatchanakwa for ten seconds. This gives Ellis some confidence but Chris later crushes it when he states that the bear isn't Vodka, who was the bear from the previous challenge. Jada questions her card and asks Chris about the refrigerator symbol on her card. Chris explains to her that it's Chef's fridge, and notes that he brushes it down for finger prints every day, which crushes Jada's confidence. Sammie tilts her head and Chris points out that she'll need to try to retrieve her key from the communal washrooms' septic tank. Sammie sighs but manages to keep a smile on her face. Chris then tells the group to go find their keys and return with them by "6:00 P.M., Eastern Standard Time," and the campers disperse and search for their keys.

Being the first challenge shown, Ciande's task is to retrieve her key from the man-eating shark infested lake. She lures the sharks away when she pours in some of the "meat" from the previous dinner and quickly dives in. She manages to grab her key and climbs back onto the dock as Rylee watches her, and states that she feels like Ciande might've had the easiest task yet.

During this, Jada is seen creeping into the mess hall and heading back into Chef's kitchen, attempting to not make any noise. She looks around and then spots Chef's refrigerator. She anxiously walks over to the fridge and opens it slowly. She then sees Chef whose holding a large cleaver glaring back at her. Jada's face goes white in shock and slowly closes the refrigerator door, and runs away in a panic.

After Jada's attempt to retrieve her key, Lucas sorrowfully looks at a skunk hole and sighs. He's kept a distance between the hole and covers his nose once he gets a whiff of the skunk smell. Adam then comes from behind and asks Lucas what's wrong. Lucas says that he's always had bad luck with skunks and had a bad experience with one in his childhood. Adam then offers to help noting that he already found his key (which was off screen). Lucas sighs and thanks Adam but can't think of any way to get rid of the skunks to retrieve her key. Adam then asks an out of the blue question and asks Lucas if skunks can swim. Lucas nods and asks "why?" and Adam says he has an idea to get rid of the skunks with Lucas responding in a dreaming fully "yeah..." At the same time, Ellis helps Jada with her task, lowering her slowly down into Chef's kitchen while Chef naps. Jada slowly but surely slides down the rope and manages to grab her key from the dreaded refrigerator. She then tugs on the rope, signaling Ellis to pull her up. Ellis starts to pull her up, but then notices a bee landing on her and swats it away, but lets go of the rope accidentally. This causes Jada to scream and cover her mouth, but then she drops her key but only manages to catch it when Ellis takes back control of the rope. In a turn of events and luck, Chef doesn't wake up but mumbles a bit in his sleep. Jada is safely lifted out of the kitchen and completes her task.

Adam and Lucas try to keep their composure while they hold a bucket filled with water, before flushing the skunks out of the hole. The plan works and the skunks are flushed out and the two burst out in laughter. This then allows Lucas to retrieve his key.

The camera cuts to Adam and Lucas smiling at one another, still standing at the skunk hole. Lucas then quickly rushes up to Adam, and passionately kisses him on the lips. Chris replays this moment stating he thinks he sees some tongue and dubs the moment "heart-warming" and "full of love". The tape resumes and Adam and Lucas are holding hands and walk away. In the distance, Abe glares at this.

While Abe tries to plot what he'll do, the other contestants are seen completing their challenges:

* Jaylen completes his challenge of needing to jump through a ring that was lit on fire easily, with Stella clapping for him.
* Rylee then climbs a tree, trying to retrieve her key from a tall tree that's hooked onto a very thin branch. However, Rylee doesn't have any luck with retrieving her key.
* Sammie is seen in the communal bathrooms, while holding an iguana. She points into the toilet and the iguana retrieves her key for her, and she gives the iguana a little treat before the two set off.
* Stella's clue has a beehive on it, prompting her to search for a beehive. She eventually finds one but seems a bit nervous to go near the hive. George agrees to retrieve her key, and later returns with the key covered in honey which he gives to her. However, bees start going after Stella which causes her to run to the dock, accidentally dropping her key in the process.
* In the cave, Ellis attempts to get her key from the bear, however gets anxious when she realizes the key is hooked to a necklace that the bear is wearing. She accidentally then steps on the bear's foot causing it to awaken, and growls but Ellis manages to use this time usefully and nabs the key before the bear can attack her.
* Abe then walks towards a snake with a mouse in hand and taunts it with the mouse before tossing it behind him. The snake quickly slithers and follows the mouse, enabling Abe to have the opportunity to retrieve his key from where the snake was originally sitting.

Rylee is behind Abe once he finishes his challenge and Abe decides to call an alliance meeting with her. The two head to the dock and begin discussing something seemingly important. Abe tells Rylee to put a love note on Lucas' bunk bed, but before Rylee does this, she questions Abe. Abe says that he just needs her to do it and will share some of his Kpop items with her, which Rylee agrees to and goes elsewhere to write the note. In the mean time, despite thinking his challenge would be easy, George retrieves his key from a rickety bride over crocodiles who were guarding the key.

Rylee sneaks into the boys' cabin and puts the fake love letter on Lucas' bunk. However, when she turns to leave she hears Lucas saying that he's grabbing something from his cabin and quickly retreats under his bunk. Lucas enters and notices the note and picks it up, reading it aloud with the note telling him to go to the dock for a surprise. Rylee begins to get covered in ants while Lucas reads the note and later screams and runs out of the cabin when Lucas leaves.

Abe and Rylee meet up in front of the communal bathrooms and Rylee states that she put the note on the bed. Abe thanks Rylee and reminds her that he needs her to lead Adam to her before Lucas can come and then says for Rylee to give out a call when she sees Lucas walking towards the dock. Rylee gives an affirmative nod and goes to find Adam. At the dock, Abe taps his foot impatiently and groans and says "Does she have to be this slow?!" After this statement, he notices Rylee guiding Adam to the dock where Abe quickly takes fake tears out of his pocket and applies them below his eyelids and begins to fake cry. Adam approaches Abe and asks whats wrong. He states that Lucas is a rude and toxic person stating that he's been so mean to him stating he thought he was a nice person. Adam states that seems a bit out of character for Lucas, and states he's a very kind person. Abe turns around and says that Lucas bad-mouths Adam all the time and says that "he says he hates when you're around him and doesn't like your presence". Adam gasps and Abe continues to say false statements that Lucas has apparently said to Adam. Adam believes all of these lies and says that he thought Lucas and him were getting very close on a different level.

While Abe talks to Adam, Rylee notices Lucas walking towards the dock and caws like a bird to try and warn Abe, but Abe doesn't hear her. Abe fills Adam in with false statements from Lucas about how Lucas told Abe that he thought Adam's personality "was basic and annoying". He then goes on to say that Lucas is only using Adam for his bonds with the others on the island in order to advance him further into the game. Rylee caws again, trying to alert Abe again, which Abe hears this time. Abe quickly expresses to Adam that he finds his personality "interesting and mesmerizing" and kisses him. Adam looks very confused and taken aback but then closes his eyes just as Lucas arrives. Lucas gasps when he sees the two kissing and yells to Adam "You're a two-timing idiot!" and runs away crying, tossing the fake love letter into the lake. Adam stops the kiss between Abe and himself and grunts before taking off running. Both Lucas and Adam are on separate parts of the island, and both scream and breakdown.

Lucas is seen crying on a tree trunk, and a tired Stella notices Lucas crying and goes over to talk to him. Trying to keep his composure, Lucas asks Stella if she found her key, but Stella avoids his question and asks what's wrong. Lucas then tells Stella everything he saw at the dock and Stella puts her arm on his back to comfort him. Shortly after, the camera cuts to Stella jogging through the woods stating "Abe or Adam are such goners!" Stella informs everyone whose willing to listen about what happened. Most notably, Ciande, George, Jaylen, and Sammie who are one of the many people she talks to. Chris then announces on the PA speakers that the campers need to meet him at the campfire to unlock their prizes.

The campers gather back at the campfire. Sammie is holding her key next to Ellis who questions why Sammie doesn't smell bad despite needing to search in the communal bathrooms. Sammie smiles and holds the iguana and says that she trained the iguana to get the key for her, shocking Ellis. Chris, still in costume, tells them that it is time to claim their rewards from the chests. The campers with keys then walk forward and open up a chest. Ciande is gets chips and a candy bar, and claps and happily thanks Chris for the prize. Despite having one of the hardest challenges, Ellis is unable to unlock any chests with her key and tosses it and complains to Chris about how he made her risk her life for a dud key. Chris then shoots Ellis with a tranquilizer dart, and says he accidentally shot her because he saw foam coming out of her mouth and requests Chef to bring her to the infirmary. Lucas then unlocks his chest and wins a toaster which he inspects and groans when he notices that the toaster is missing the plug. Abe then unlocks his chest and wins a gift basket with an "invincibility card" included in it, which many people glare at. Stella and Rylee have nothing, due to not completing their challenges. Jaylen glares at Adam who wins a leg-shaped lamp when he turns around but Jaylen then dismisses this when he wins two wine bottles and cheers. Sammie pulls out an accordion and happily plays it until Chris shushes her. George pumps his fist into the air and claims he got cologne which he seems surprisingly happy about. Then, Chris says he hopes the campers found the treasure they were looking for, and more, but then mentions that they'll have a short dinner which seems unusual to the campers and then says that afterwards, they'll meet back to vote someone out.

After a short dinner, the campers gather and sit at the Campfire Ceremony. After explaining the situation, Chris immediately makes a list of the safe campers and tosses their marshmallows without pausing for the bottom two, which usually happens. Adam is seen relaxing and reclining on his seat, but after noticing he's the only one left sitting and sees and empty plate, causes his eyes to widen. Chris pities him, and says he's been eliminated due to having the most votes and Stella laughs and says "get your cheating butt of the island!" Adam exclaims how he thought he bonded with a lot of them, but Abe says "Yeah right, everyone except me." and giggles showing no remorse. Lucas confronts Abe and questions why he isn't sad despite kissing him earlier. Abe smirks and says that everyone's going to be voted out besides two campers and that he doesn't care about Adam leaving at all. Adam questions why Lucas cares, saying that he said that Adam's personality was basic and annoying. Lucas said he never said that and Abe says he just made all of that up to drive a wedge in between the two, which worked. Despite cheating on him, Lucas reveals he still didn't vote for Adam noting he wanted to confront him about it during dinner, but didn't have enough time. Adam sighs and asks why people voted for him then, and Stella reveals that she told everyone about the kiss and reveals how bad she feels about doing so, not knowing the truth.

Adam, Lucas, and Stella realize that they've been played like a violin and this upsets Lucas. Lucas gives Adam a big hug and Adam asks if "they" will still be a thing, which Lucas nods quickly to. Adam then gives Lucas words of motivation and encouragement stating that he'll be waiting for him and that he'll cheer for Lucas even if they aren't on the same island anymore. The two share a passionate kiss and after a couple seconds, Chris separates the two and tells Adam he has a date with the Boat of Losers. During a sad goodbye, almost everyone says a goodbye to Adam, but Abe doesn't show any remorse and states that he's going for a shower. To make this bad day good, Stella hooks the sewage pipe up to the shower pipe, causing Abe to be showered in sewage. Abe screams as Stella snickers to herself and jogs away and the screen fades to black, ending the episode.
