Fate for another

**Fate for another** is the seventh episode of *Sequester Canada 2*.

## Story

In a storm of emotions, Liam storms into the jury house, visibly upset and embarrassed by his recent defeat. Expressing frustration at losing to what he perceives as an inferior opponent, he vents about Misty, the "shy little girl" who bested him despite her supposed communication challenges. As Liam pouts, Dominick enters the scene, offering a contrasting perspective. Admitting his earlier underestimation of Marcel, Dominick acknowledges the latter's prowess, signaling a shift in his perception.

The focus shifts back to the main house where anticipation runs high as the contestants eagerly await the return of the participants from the battle match. Melina expresses her concern, hoping for Misty's return to maintain a strategic advantage for the trio of girls. Meanwhile, Ethan is emotionally invested, dreading the possibility of Marcel not making it back. The atmosphere changes when Misty and Marcel re-enter, with Marcel's enthusiastic reunion, jumping into Ethan's arms and sharing a kiss. However, the celebratory mood takes a serious turn as Misty retrieves a note from Fembot, revealing the rules for the upcoming round named "Fate in the Hands of Another." In this round, contestants must give their votes to another player secretly, and the number of votes one receives determines their fate.
The given votes reveal some interesting dynamics:
Azalyn gives her vote to Tanishq.
Ethan gives his vote to Marcel.
Mackenzie gives her vote to Melissa.
Marcel gives his vote to Ethan.
Marco gives his vote to Tanishq.
Melina gives her vote to Misty.
Melissa gives her vote to Melina.
Misty gives her vote to Melina.
Tanishq gives his vote to Azalyn.

The round kicks off, and Tanishq observes Azalyn being perceived as a mass manipulator, which he sees as an advantage for himself. Tanishq and Azalyn engage in a strategic conversation, expressing gratitude for each other's votes. Tanishq reveals he received a vote from Marco as well, giving them a potential edge in the round. Azalyn acknowledges the importance of this advantage, and together, they discuss their target: Melina. They recognize Melina's threat level and the need to strip her of her control in the game. As they strategize, Azalyn senses a potential future betrayal from Tanishq. The focus then shifts to Marco, who, feeling vulnerable after losing allies, approaches Ethan and Marcel with a compelling case. Marco argues against targeting him, emphasizing the greater threat Melina poses with her growing influence. Ethan acknowledges the validity of Marco's points, indicating they will consider his plea.

The focus shifts to Mackenzie, Melina, Melissa, and Misty, as they engage in a heated discussion about the upcoming vote. Melina expresses her intention to target Marco, emphasizing his potential to comp out and become a threat later in the game. Mackenzie opposes this plan, advocating for pulling Marco into their alliance to secure the majority. The disagreement intensifies, with Mackenzie criticizing Melina's decision-making and Melina defending her strategy. Misty and Melissa, observing the conflict, remain silent, expressing concern over the internal discord. Mackenzie, frustrated with the disagreement, decides to leave the room, pulling Melissa with her to discuss a potential flip. Mackenzie aims to sway Melissa by highlighting Melina's self-centered approach and proposing an alliance with Marcel and Ethan. Melissa, eager to prove loyalty, agrees to the plan, and Mackenzie outlines a strategy to vote out Melina and target Azalyn and Tanishq in the battle match.

Mackenzie takes charge, pulling Marcel, Ethan, and Marco into a room to share crucial information. She reveals Melina's plan to target Marco in the upcoming vote, prompting Marco's realization and concern. Mackenzie, however, reassures him and emphasizes the importance of trust within their group. She proposes an alliance against the untrustworthy players in the game, highlighting the reliability of their current group. Melissa pledges to vote out Melina to demonstrate their commitment. Ethan, Marcel, and Marco express their belief in the alliance, grateful for the newfound support. Marco reflects on the unpredictable nature of the game, appreciating the sudden turn of events that placed him in a majority alliance.

The intense aftermath of the elimination unfolds as Melina faces the consequences of being voted out. Emotions run high as Mackenzie defends her decision, asserting her independence and unwillingness to be a follower. Tensions escalate between Melina and Mackenzie, with heated words exchanged. The dramatic exit scene plays out, with Melina confronting Mackenzie and Tanishq. The term "snake" is thrown into the mix, adding to the already charged atmosphere.
