## Story

Sequester Bot recaps the first episode as the camera then pans to the players who have now woken up waiting to see the winner of the battle match return. Tyrie thinks Amanda is gonna come back while Alice says not to underestimate Sofia, Amanda then makes a triumphant return, greeted with applause from the other contestants, including Brayden.

Amanda receives a note from Junior bot explaining the twist for the next round, called the Safety Lottery. A player will be randomly selected to start the chain and be safe from elimination. This player will then nominate someone for elimination, who will then choose another player to be safe, and so on. The contestants eagerly await the drawing of the first safe player. Marina is randomly selected as the first safe player for the round. She chooses to nominate Toby for elimination but promises him safety in return for saving Amanda. Toby reluctantly agrees. Amanda, Jasmine, and Marina discuss the second nomination. Jasmine suggests targeting Tyrie, believing he may have played a role in Blossom's choice to put Amanda and Sofia in the battle match. Amanda agrees to nominate Tyrie. Amanda nominates Tyrie, who is clearly displeased with her choice. Tyrie then saves Nathan. Nathan chooses his green jersey, realizing that Tyrie's numerous alliances have put him in a precarious position. He expresses concern about how this situation might negatively affect their alliance's position in the game.

Later, Mateo approaches Nathan with a plan to nominate Cori to create chaos in the house and shift the target away from Tyrie. Nathan, while hesitant, agrees to the plan to protect their alliance. However, when Nathan approaches Cori with the nomination, she becomes furious, feeling like she's being used as a sacrificial lamb by the alliance. Cori threatens to expose the alliance publicly. Cori goes on a house-wide rant, exposing the alliance's existence and hierarchy, further damaging the trust within the group. Other contestants react with shock and dismay at the revelation. Nathan ultimately nominates Cori for elimination, and she angrily accepts her fate, vowing to target the alliance. Cori seeks guidance from Amanda on whom to give safety to in hopes of targeting Mateo. Kitana, Michaela, Lyrsa, and Jin-gyu discuss the situation and decide that targeting Cori is a better move than Tyrie due to her volatile behavior. They plan to pitch this idea to Tyrie's group and gain the girls' support. Lyrsa approaches Tyrie's group and suggests that eliminating Cori would be a wise move due to her unpredictable nature. Tyrie's group considers this proposition. Meanwhile, Jin-gyu talks to Amanda, Alice, Jasmine, Marina, and Kai, explaining that removing Cori is a better choice for the house's stability. They agree with their reasoning. Cori saves Jasmine and nominates Mateo. Jasmine puts Mateo up, and he accepts his nomination.

Tyrie's group discusses the possibility of voting Cori out, citing her extreme volatility over minor issues as a potential threat to their games. Tyrie also reminds Jasmine that he might put her or Marina in the battle match if he gets voted out, which leads Jasmine to agree to vote for Cori. However, Nathan is concerned about Tyrie's aggressive approach, believing that they should be trying to gain allies rather than threatening potential ones. Jasmine shares the sentiment, feeling that Tyrie's actions confirm her doubts about trusting him. As Jasmine agrees to vote for Cori, Tyrie and his group realize that eliminating Cori could lead to her putting two of them up in the battle match. They quickly devise a plan where Mateo would save Jonas, and Jonas would nominate Alice or Kai, with the intention of swaying Toby and Kyler to their side. Mateo announces his decision to save Jonas, and Jonas, in turn, nominates Alice. Alice chooses to save Kai, and Kai then nominates Thomas.

After consulthing his alliance Thomas decides to save Kyler, seeing it as an opportunity to build trust with him and Toby, potentially pulling them over to their side for the upcoming vote. Kyler then faces the difficult task of choosing a nominee. He consults Toby, who suggests nominating Brayden to avoid causing too much friction. Kyler agrees with this plan. He announces his decision, nominating Brayden, who accepts his fate. Brayden decides to save Lyrsa, showing loyalty to his friendship with Blossom. Lyrsa faces a difficult decision as she can only nominate Jin-gyu, Kitana, or Michaela. Jin-gyu offers to volunteer as the nominee and save Kitana, thinking she might be a bigger target due to her outspoken nature. Lyrsa agrees to this arrangement. In the living room, Lyrsa announces her decision, nominating Jin-gyu. Jin-gyu takes the red jersey and decides to save Kitana. Kitana and Michaela receive green and red jerseys, respectively.

Cori is upset with the situation and Tyrie approaches her, trying to convince her to vote with their alliance. He reveals that Kitana is targeting her for elimination, which only makes Cori more frustrated. Tyrie suggests they vote for Alice to break up a potential alliance between her and Kai. He also plans to have Mason persuade Toby and Kyler to vote in their favor. Cori expresses regret for her actions, but Tyrie reassures her that they'll keep her safe. Cori feels cornered and frustrated by the alliances in the game, especially after her outburst. She knows she has to rely on Tyrie to navigate the situation.

Marina and Mateo both find LOS (Locus of Safety) advantages, which could potentially impact the game. Marina is excited about her find, while Mateo is strategic about his discovery, seeing it as a valuable tool to use in the game. Meanwhile, Tyrie approaches Mateo and asks him to talk to Toby and Kyler, trying to persuade them to vote out Alice. Mateo agrees and heads over to Toby and Kyler. He makes a pitch to keep Cori in the game as a shield while targeting the emerging duo of Alice and Kai. Mateo highlights that Amanda may not be entirely trustworthy and offers Toby and Kyler a place within their alliance. Toby and Kyler are conflicted, with Toby leaning towards trusting Amanda and Kyler considering the benefits of keeping Cori. They discuss the pros and cons, acknowledging that they need to make a decision soon. Their disagreement suggests a potential rift in their alliance, which could have consequences for the upcoming vote.

The contestants cast their votes to eliminate either Alice or Cori, with Kyler's vote left incomplete. As the tension builds, Junior bot reveals the results, and it's Cori who gets eliminated from the game. Cori, visibly upset and frustrated with Kitana and Tyrie, makes her initial picks for the battle match, but Kitana reveals she has an LOS, forcing Cori to choose again. Cori then selects Nathan, who had initially nominated her, as the opponent against Tyrie in the battle match.

In the "Balloon Heist" battle match, Tyrie and Nathan face off in a fierce competition. Tyrie's height and basketball skills give him an advantage in reaching the black balloons, which are worth negative points. Nathan, on the other hand, relies on his speed and agility to collect white balloons, the positive points. Throughout the match, Tyrie maintains a lead by throwing black balloons into Nathan's crate while also managing to grab some white balloons. Nathan, realizing he needs to act quickly, focuses on getting white balloons into his crate and retaliating by putting black balloons in Tyrie's spot. As the challenge reaches its conclusion, Tyrie secures his victory by having more points overall. Despite the loss, Nathan takes the opportunity to remind Tyrie about the consequences of forming too many alliances and making himself a target. Tyrie acknowledges the challenges ahead but remains determined to continue competing in the game.

As Cori arrives at the battle match house, she's met with a mix of emotions from the other contestants. Blossom, who had assumed Amanda would be joining them, expresses her surprise and mentions her dislike for Amanda's attention-seeking behavior. Sofia, however, urges Blossom not to focus on Amanda at the moment. When Nathan enters the room, Cori confronts him about her nomination, expressing her frustration. Nathan apologizes, admitting that he allowed Mateo's strategy to influence his decision, thinking it would save Tyrie and protect their alliance. Cori is not pleased to hear that she was used as a pawn in this way and considers Mateo's actions foolish. Cori expresses her hope that Mateo and Kitana will be the next contestants to face elimination, clearly harboring resentment over being targeted due to their strategic gameplay.
