## Episode Summary

The green fog rolled on, sickly green goo starting to ooze from beneath the observatory door. The guests then soon realize that the goo was starting to overtake the observatory floor as they flee to the top of the observatory. Shortly after, a swamp monster attacks Celine and the guests then rescue Celine before escaping the observatory through a hatch at the top. The group then consults the map, soon finding the monster's footsteps in the ground toward some memorial gardens. They then headed into the gardens, hoping to end the night.

They then start searching and looking around when Luke trips over a piece of stone that resembled a puzzle piece. The guests then hurry to find the other pieces throughout the gardens. Once they collect all the pieces and restore the tablet, they then learn of a legend that tell of young teenagers from a local camp being drained of their life, left floating in a lake by the swamp monster. However, one elusive child remained missing. The determined group then consulted the map for the camp, before hurrying away to the camp, where their adventure would continue.

They then arrived at the camp before they soon saw a man sitting on one of the cabin porches, who then demands the reason why they were there. They then reason with the Chief, who then reluctantly asks for their help to save the camp and get the next artifact. He then explains that the swamp monster had stolen the next artifact, a mysterious gem, from him and that they had to participate in the camp's activities to get it back from the monster.

Savannah and Marinette are then tasked to climb a wall of ropes while Luke and Valeria are tasked to fire making. Valeria then starts to get dry wood while Luke gathered stones for the border of the campfire. The monster then appears and tries to take Luke into the fog before Akmal, Vladimir, Caspian and Valeria headed to rescue him from the monster's grasp. Soon after the monster received a beating, it attempted to make Marinette fall before she trusted Savannah by jumping onto the priestess's rope. The monster then tears Marinette's rope down, only to get hit by a bell as Mari and Sav ring their bell and Valeria and Luke light their fire.

After the success of the fire makers and rope climbers, the group then followed the Chief to the ranges, where Vladimir is tasked with slingshot skills to knock down targets and Gaston is required to trust Caspian by letting him shoot fruit off his head with arrows. The three boys succeed to complete their challenges as Caspian shoots five fruits off Gaston's head and Vladimir strikes five targets into pieces. The Chief then gives Savannah, for her trust and bravery in her challenge, a medal that would allow her or someone else immunity from voting. Savannah then gives the medal to Luke as the Chief then reveals that they had to vote two for yet another challenge.

After the votes are submitted, Akmal once again draws the cards and reveals the challengers to be Vladimir and Valeria. The challengers and the others then headed to the lake, where they saw a pier and a note that told them that they had to recover the remains of the missing child from the lake. The duo then put on scuba gear and start to dive for the body. They then discover the body together and they then agree to work together to recover the body as the swamp monster then chases them both. As the duo successfully gets the body out of the lake with help from the Chief, the swamp monster then kills the Chief. Soon after, Celine dives into the water to put an end to the swamp monster, silence then echoing as the water went calm.

Then the water bubbles and Celine rises from the water, the monster's head in her own hand. The monster's head then crumbles, granting Celine the mysterious gem that was the tenth artifact. Then Theodosia and her hellhounds appear, Akmal standing in front of the group to defend them. Theodosia then attacks and freezes the guests to the spot, while fending off Akmal's attacks. As Akmal fights to save his friends from Theodosia, the sorceress then unleashes her hellhounds on Akmal, attacking the voodoo priest. Akmal then summons the spirit of Alexander to summon a wolfhound to fight, while bursting energy at Theodosia, freeing his friends bit by bit. As the guests and Celine fled the scene, all scattered and separated in groups, Akmal is tackled down by Theodosia's hellhounds. She then tells her hounds to find the others before she then takes her former boyfriend as her hostage.

The guests were scattered, but they would not give up now.
