## Story

Sequester Bot recaps the previous episode as the camera pans to the jury house. Brayden enters the jury house shortly followed by Kitana and
the tension starts to simmer in the jury house as Brayden and Kitana exchange words. Brayden remains confident in Blossom's abilities to succeed in the game, while Kitana criticizes Brayden's lack of gameplay and suggests that he was a waste of a casting spot. The two continue to bicker about their differing perspectives on the game and the purpose of their appearance on the show. The atmosphere in the jury house remains charged as the two former competitors clash.

The remaining contestants eagerly wait for the victors of the battle match to emerge. Kai expresses his hope that Toby returns, fearing Kitana's potential wrath if she comes back. The group discusses who they'd prefer to see return between Kitana and Toby, with Jin-gyu brushing off Blossom's opinion. When Mateo and Toby return, there's a mix of applause and shock from the group. Some, like Michaela and Amanda, are glad to see Toby back, believing it weakens the opposing side by removing Kitana. Then, Fembot presents a new twist called "Bounty," where each contestant is assigned a target. If they successfully get their target eliminated in the battle match, they win an LOS. The assigned bounties are as follows, Amanda has Blossom as her target. Blossom targets Michaela. Jin-gyu's target is themself. Kai's target is Mateo. Lyrsa's target is herself. Marina's target is Toby. Mateo's target is Kai. Michaela targets Amanda. Toby's target is Marina.

The contestants immediately start strategizing, considering their assigned bounties and potential targets for the upcoming battle match.
Michaela reveals she got Amanda as her target but intends to push for her elimination to secure another LOS for her alliance. Blossom got Michaela as her target, but she assures her she won't be voting her out. Lyrsa got herself as her target, making her ineligible for elimination. They discuss the importance of potentially voting out Jin-gyu or Kai due to their duplicitous gameplay. On the other side, Amanda, Marina, Mateo, and Toby discuss their targets. Toby and Marina got each other as targets, making it unlikely for them to earn an LOS. Mateo got Kai as his target and believes it's a strategic move to target him and Jin-gyu for their middle-ground gameplay. Amanda got Blossom as her target but doesn't consider her a major threat, preferring to focus on Jin-gyu or Kai. Mateo secretly discovers an LOS shimmering in the room while they discuss LOS acquisition. Amanda instructs Marina and Toby to gauge Jin-gyu and Kai's intentions to ensure they don't feel alienated. As the group disperses, Mateo discreetly grabs the hidden LOS, excited to add it to his collection.

Marina and Toby have a cordial conversation with Jin-gyu and Kai, who confess that Mateo is their bounty but promise not to target him. They deliberate on their target, with the possibility of eliminating either Michaela or Blossom. The group acknowledges that the girls' bounties are unknown, making it risky to target Michaela. Amanda, Michaela, Lyrsa, and Blossom discuss Amanda's proposal to target Kai instead of Blossom. They agree that Amanda's plan makes sense, especially given the potential for an LOS to be introduced into their alliance. Michaela suggests that Kai could be more discreet and a better ally than Jin-gyu, who she views as a bigger threat. However, Michaela privately plans to target Amanda, seeing her as a threat. Michaela talks to Jin-gyu and Kai, warning them about Amanda's plan to vote out Kai and emphasizing that it might be a ploy to obtain an LOS. She encourages them to side with her instead. Kai seeks clarification from Amanda, who confirms her intention to target Blossom. Kai decides to trust Amanda's honesty and plans to work with her. Kai shares his conversation with Amanda with Jin-gyu, and they both agree to align with her for now. Jin-gyu believes it's a better strategy to eliminate Amanda later when she has an LOS. Amanda returns to her alliance and tells them about her discussions with Jin-gyu and Kai. She believes their new allies will help protect them in the game. Mateo expresses disappointment about losing the chance to obtain an LOS, but Amanda assures him that targeting Blossom is necessary to secure their position in the game. The houseguests are divided, and their loyalties remain uncertain as they prepare to cast their votes for the upcoming battle match.

The contestants gather in the living room for the results of the vote, with tensions running high. Fembot reveals that Blossom has been eliminated from the game, and those who voted for her stand up. Amanda, Marina, Toby, Jin-gyu, Kai, and Mateo all admit to voting for Blossom. Blossom expresses her frustration, particularly towards Kai, who she accuses of betraying their alliance. Blossom gets to choose who she will face in the battle match and selects Amanda, citing her earlier attempts to target Amanda in the first round. Amanda, determined to win, stands up to face Blossom. The two competitors head outside for their battle match, each with their own motivations and strategies in mind. Amanda chooses not to use her LOS, confident that she can beat Blossom, while Blossom hopes to secure an LOS for her alliance by potentially winning the match. The stage is set for a showdown between the two contestants.

In the battle match called Tug-Of-War, Amanda and Blossom face off, both determined to win and secure their place in the game. The game consists of two out of three rounds, with the objective being to pull the opponent into a mud pit.In the first round, Amanda quickly takes the lead, but Blossom doesn't give up easily. She puts up a fierce fight and manages to pull herself away from the mud for a moment. However, Amanda's determination prevails, and she eventually pulls Blossom into the mud, winning the first round. The second round begins, and Amanda and Blossom are evenly matched this time. Blossom fights harder, showing great determination. In a surprising turn of events, Blossom takes the lead momentarily. However, Amanda summons all her strength and manages to pull Blossom into the mud once again, securing her victory. Amanda taunts Blossom, and Blossom responds with a warning about the target on Amanda's back. The battle match ends with Amanda emerging victorious, while Blossom heads to the jury house, vowing to influence the game from there.
