Paintballs Turned Lethal

**The two teams compete in a paintball competition, with members of each team divided into "hunters" and "deer."**

## Plot

The episode begins and the campers are suddenly awoken by the loud sounds of Chris flying overhead in a helicopter. In the girls' cabin, Kelly says she'll go for a shower shortly, but Zoey protests stating that she wanted to take a shower first. Kelly crosses her arms saying that Zoey can shower after her. Zoey tells Kelly she didn't shower the previous night due to Kelly taking all of the hot water. Kelly stays silent for a while before sighing and telling Zoey she can take a shower first.

While Zoey is in the shower, Kelly asks George if he has any paint-filled balloons with him. George nods and gives Kelly a balloon, not knowing what she's about to do. Kelly enters the girls bathroom and heads to the showers. She enters the shower next to Zoey's and tosses the balloon causing Zoey to panic and scream.

Right after, Chris is heard speaking through the loudspeakers, telling the campers to meet him at the campfire pit. Zoey, whose frustrated yells to whoever threw the balloon to help wash the paint off of her, but nobody enters leaving Zoey to clean herself. At the campfire pit, Chris informs them that the day's challenge is about survival, and that the teams will go on a paintball deer hunt; he then reveals an arsenal of paintball guns. Chris then asks the teams to strategize who the hunters and deer will be, but it ends up taking too long and Chris decides for the Killer Bass that the hunters will be: Adam, Hailey, and Jada, and Chris informs them that they'll be using blue paintballs; and for the Screaming Gophers, their hunters will be: Abe, George, Kelly, and Zoey, who will be using orange paintballs. Whoever wasn't named a 'hunter' will have to dress as "deer", with antler headgear and deer tails, who will the the opposing team's "prey." Ellis complains about not being a hunter, and then notices George smiling at her, which turns her away.

In the wilderness, some of the members of the Screaming Gophers complain about being chosen as "deer" but, other members like Sammie seem to be happy with their role.

Ciande and Sammie go off together in the woods, while Jaylen and Rylee awkwardly stand around, not knowing if they should talk to each other. Rylee then breaks the silence and asks Jaylen if they should go together, or split up. Jaylen thinks about this for a while and says that if they split up, they'll be harder to find. Rylee nods and goes the opposite way they were walking and Jaylen continues to walk the path. At the campfire pit, Hailey looks very excited while Adam just looks around awkwardly before asking Hailey how to use a paintball gun. Jada speaks before Hailey can get a word in and says "Like this!" and shoots Hailey in the leg causing Hailey to fall down. Hailey gets back up and tells Jada that they shouldn't go after each other, stating the challenge is friendly-fire. Jada rolls her eyes and says "Whatever" and Hailey is seen rubbing the paint off of herself.

Once Chris announces that the hunt has officially started, Abe says that the challenge is boring and wants to get chips from the dining hall. Kelly advises him not to, saying it might cost the Gophers the challenge. Abe glares at Kelly before walking in the direction of the dining hall.

George starts his search, managing to come across Hugo who he tries to sneak up on, but soon steps on one of his airhorns causing Hugo to see him and sprint away. George puts his airhorn back in his pocket, grabs his paintball gun, and runs after Hugo. Abe however, is seen going through Chef's kitchen and manages to find chips, however hears the dining hall's door open. Chef hears Abe in the kitchen and runs into the kitchen, but sees nobody. The camera cuts to Abe who is hiding under a table trying not to make a noise. Abe then manages to escape, when Chef turns around and begins to run through the woods.

George manages to keep up with Hugo, but Hugo suddenly takes a sharp right turn, causing George to slip and injure himself. Abe is seen eating his chips, and ends up meeting up with Zoey, who rolls her eyes at the sight of Abe. Abe tries talking to Zoey, but Zoey ignores him, causing Abe to throw his chip bag at her. Rylee then comes out of the bushes telling her team mates to be quiet, but the ends up getting shot in the arm by Hailey and Adam. The camera then cuts to George who is chasing Hugo up the cliff trying to shoot him the process, however when the two reach the top, George's gun slips out of his hands and Hugo manages to take it from him and throws it off the cliff. Soon after George realizes what happens and jumps after it.

Somewhere else, Abe tells Rylee that Zoey was being rude to him, by ignoring his attempt to talk to her. Rylee gently asks if Zoey can apologize, but Zoey takes a deep breath and refuses. Zoey and Abe argue with each other, and Rylee just watches not knowing what to do. Zoey tells Rylee that she'll be voting Abe off if they lose, due to his manipulative-snake behavior. Abe is offended, claiming that isn't true. At a different location in the woods, George is drenched with water, and tries to find a new target. Kelly then approaches George, telling him that she saw Tyler not to long ago by the stream. George and Kelly go on the hunt to find Tyler. The argument between Abe and Zoey goes on with Jaylen overhearing it. Jaylen sees his team members arguing and tries to calm them both down, until Kelly accidentally shoots Zoey, thinking she was Tyler. Zoey then turns to Kelly starting to argue with her, and Abe then takes the paintball gun away from George and shoots Zoey in her back causing her to fall back.

At the same time, Jada is seen watching Sammie and Ciande who are seen talking to each other. She manages to shoot Sammie, causing Ciande to be alert and she tells Sammie to follow her, as they both run through the woods.

Zoey shoots a paintball at Abe, with Abe shooting her back. Jaylen and Rylee try to get the guns away from the two, but they end up getting shot themselves. Lucas and Tyler are seen walking together, not knowing where to go, until Lucas notices a path and tells Tyler.

As the two walk down the path, Hugo meets up with them and tells them they were going the wrong way and points to another path they need to take. They switch paths and the three Bass walk back to camp.

The paintball conflict is noticed by Adam, Hailey, and Jada who is noticed to have met up with the other two hunters. They begin to shoot at the Gopher members, despite some being hunters, much to their enjoyment. Chris is on the speakers, and tells the campers that the hunt is now officially over and tells all the campers to meet him at the campfire pit. The three Bass men are already there much to some of the other Bass' surprise, and Ellis joins the campers shortly, arriving a bit late. Due to most of the Gophers being covered in paint, and the Bass have far less paint on them, Chris dubs the Killer Bass the winners of the challenge.

At the campfire ceremony, Chris points out and jokes at the Gophers stating that even though their challenge performance was hilarious, it was a very bad attempt at the challenge. Zoey points out how most of the drama has been caused by Abe. Shortly after everyone votes, Chris gives marshmallows to Ciande, Rylee, George, Jaylen, Sammie, and Kelly, much to Zoey's astonishment. Abe and Zoey are in the bottom two, and Abe is given the last marshmallow, and Abe thanks his teammates for siding with him. Zoey gets up and says her goodbyes to a few members of his team, avoiding Kelly and Abe, before walking down he Dock of Shame with all of her stuff and boarding the boat of losers. While on the boat, Zoey tells Chef that, when she rummaged through her bag, she left a tiki she found in her cabin. Chef tells her she won't receive it until the season is over, much to Zoey's disappointment.
