Down To Eight - Heist is Nine

**The two teams compete in a series of bank-heist-themed challenges. However, there will be a surprise returnee that will cause a ton of shock and twist in the game.**

## Plot

The episode begins with the castmates eating their breakfast normally in the crafts service tent. At the Grips' table, George is seen jokingly chewing with his mouth open, which causes Kiyana to cringe in disgust. Kiyana then manages to spit out that George is a pig with no manners but soon covers her mouth in shock and says she was just joking. George laughs it off nervously.

George tries to get Kiyana to laugh with the help of Hailey and Tyler but she doesn't budge. Kiyana says she'll be going to fix her make-up in the trailer and states that she'll see her team later. Tyler waves to her and she waves back and exits the tent. But she doesn't make it too far because she gets bagged by an intern and dragged off-camera. At the Gaffers' side of the crafts service tent, Stella let's her team know that she finally got her stitches off and she can finally start competing in the challenges. Jaylen hugs her stating that "it's great!" which causes Stella to blush. Jada and Sim look towards one another, and Sim says he'll be right back. Sim goes into the kitchen to get some water, but the same thing happens to him like it did with Kiyana and he's taken off screen.

The camera then cuts back to the castmates eating, until there's a hole cut in the top of the tent, and Chris goes down a rope, stating it's a indicator to what their challenge will be. Jada groans and asks if it's the "terrible host" movie. Chris says that their next movie genre will be based around an action-filled heist movie. However, before Chris can start the challenge, Jada says that Sim is gone, and Tyler also adds that Kiyana is missing. Chris chuckles and says their disappearing has to do with the challenge, because they'll need to try to break their respective teammates out of a vault. Kiyana seems to be annoyed due to the fact her hair got messed up, and Sim is panicking because he doesn't know where he is.

Once the teams get to the vaults, the Grips debate how they should open up the vault. Hailey tries to bang on the vault so it can open due to blunt force, but Tyler says it won't work. George asks if a slippery fluid will work, and puts it on the turning key instead of the cracks. Tyler tells him this error and George seems a bit frustrated in himself. On the inside, Kiyana tells her team to hurry up because the vault isn't cozy.

At the Gaffers' vault, Jada asks Jaylen if he could use his strategy that he used in the submarine, and Jaylen says he can try. Jada asks why he said "try" and he says that he doesn't know if it's the same one used in the submarine. On the other side, the Grips are seen panicking a bit because Tyler tells George that he can't move the turner because it's too slippery. Sim begins to panic more and yells to his team he has to get out now, prompting Jada to tell him to calm down. This prompts Sim to freak out more as he runs around in the vault. Jaylen tries to reassure Sim that everything will be ok, but this doesn't help at all. The Grips try to think of something to dry the turner with but they can't seem to come up with anything.

Hailey brings up how they could bring up a hair-dryer but Tyler says it could be a bit too risky, George says he could try it with his hand, which Hailey shoots down, and Tyler says he could try to just use it while it's slippery but none of the ideas they can think of seem to be the right one. Kiyana tries to give her advice, but the Grips can't hear her too well due to Hailey blocking the vent. George then brings up a story of when he pulled a prank on his mom, which was for him to stay in the mall until it shutdown and he'd spend the night, but he got caught by the security guard. Jada impatiently taps her foot, and asks Jaylen if it's the same lock, and Jaylen says it isn't, much to her frustration. Stella then says she has an idea, and limps her way to Chris saying that her team is hurt and they need the code. Chris frowns stating Stella's acting is bad and she goes back to her team. Hailey then says she'll use her sweater to try the turner, but the liquid is now frozen onto the lock. Tyler says it'll probably be easier to turn it, and it's slowly but surely turning. Kiyana shouts to her team that she thinks the code must have something to do with Chris, and Hailey tries his mom's birthday which isn't entered. Shortly after, Chris gets a call from his mom, yelling at him to why she isn't the lock pin to the vault. After a bunch of tries, the Grips can't think of anymore codes and they start to give up until Tyler sighs and gets up. He takes out his guitar pick, and starts to pick the lock, damaging his pick. Hailey states how giving Tyler is being, and Tyler manages to get the vault open.

Due to the fact that the Grips got Kiyana out first, they will be given the bank-robbing equipment and will be able to leave and start the heist. Jaylen starts debating if they should just ditch Sim and comeback later, but Sim tells him that if he does, he'll never hear the last of it. In frustration, Jada kicks the vault in the right place and manages to get it open. Jada freaks out stating "IT TOOK US THAT LONG FOR ME TO JUST DO THAT!?" Sim comes out of the vault and thanks his team, noting he's glad he's out of there. Stella tells her team they need to hurry if they want to beat the Grips to the bank. Jada tells her team that she can just make some equipment out of Ellis' old materials.

Much to their luck, Jada, Sim, Stella, and Jaylen arrive to the bank first much to the surprise. It is then revealed that the Grips aren't there because George needed to use the bathroom. Hailey tells George to hurry and George says he's just washing his hands. Hailey says not to, but Kiyana says "He should at least do that." George comes out of the bathroom reminding his team of another story where he hid in his bathroom with a ghostface mask on and scared his mom, but Hailey grabs his hand and the Grips run. Jaylen and Jada both tell the bank teller to give them money. The bank teller asks if they would like to make an immediate deposit, saying Jaylen's name (which confuses him), she takes off her disguise and reveals that it's Rylee! Jaylen seems a bit surprised to see her there.

The Grips finally arrive to the bank, and Kiyana grunts realizing they're the second team there. Chris then comes out of the back of the bank, and tells the cast that Rylee is back and will need to give the first place prize to the Gaffers for getting to her first. He then says that Rylee will join the Killer Grips due to her being the second prize. Rylee notes that it's fine and gives the prize to Jaylen. Stella seems a bit nervous as Rylee can't stop looking at her.

Chris then says to make their getaway they'll need to go to their getaway cars. Once the teams do so, they groan due to the fact they'll need to build the cars themselves, but once rummaging through the parts realize they're actually go-karts. The Grips are glad to have Rylee on their team and welcome her back will open arms. Jaylen puts his hands on his hips and says that he can solve the go-kart is a jiffy.

At the building of the cars, Jaylen tells his team what to do and they all work together very well. But the Grips are having a bit more trouble due to there being too many voices in the room. Rylee stands up and tells her new team that they need only one chef in the kitchen, and George says they aren't in a kitchen but then realizes it's a saying. Rylee says Jaylen taught her a tiny bit about cars during the time they had together before he went away onto the season, and tells her team what to do. The Gaffers finish building their go-kart and they wave back at the Grips as Jaylen starts to drive them. Rylee tells her team not to worry because they're making a ton of great progress as of now. Kiyana after a while gets tired and says if it's almost done, and Rylee cheers her team on.

Meanwhile, the Gaffers are running into a ton of things, like a rack full of film clothing. After running into the rack, the Gaffers almost hit a mom with her child.

The Screaming Gaffers continue this havoc as they run into backdrops of a city, a playground, puppies walking on the road, and a picture of Chris; and shortly after a man with a hook on his hand. Everything is revealed as props when they run into the items, besides the fisher hookman. Back at the top of the hill, the Grips are done making their go-kart and drive down the hill. Rylee drives the go-kart and tells her team that they did incredible, which delight them. A couple feet away from the finish line, the Gaffers are super close to finishing the challenge. However, their luck ends when they start to run out of gas. Jaylen tries to restart the car, Jada starts to panic after seeing the Grips a couple yards behind them. Rylee whoops and her team celebrates, and the Gaffers get out of their car to try to push it across the finish line. It looks like the Gaffers are done, until the Grips stop abruptly when Rylee sees a duck crossing their path. During this stop, the Gaffers cross the finish line and win the challenge. Chris notes that the money in their bag will be available and usable to them at the Chris fan club shop which is on the set. Jada scoffs stating it's a bad reward, and Chris says they can give it to the Grips and they'll need to vote someone out but Jada says "it's fine! Don't worry!"

At the Gilded Chris Awards, Chris tells the Grips they can't vote for Rylee due to her being immune, but everyone else is up for elimination. All the Grips vote and Chris looks to Chef as he plays the drum and shows the votes being printed. Chef gives the votes to Chris and Chris throws Gilded Chris' to Rylee, Tyler, and Hailey. This leaves Kiyana and George in the bottom and Kiyana begins to question why she's in the bottom. The final Gilded Chris award is then given to Kiyana, meaning George is eliminated. Hailey stands up and asks how he's eliminated and looks at Tyler. Tyler sighs stating George messed the challenge up today and made Kiyana uncomfortable, causing Hailey to start crying.

George hugs his friend, and tells his team that they'll do great sorrowfully. George wishes Rylee good luck and tells her to do well. George then hugs Hailey one more time and walks to the lame-o-sine. Chris is there and George decides to throw a banana peel in front of Chris, causing him to fall. George laughs and gets into the lame-o-sine and is driven off into the city.
