This is the fifty-seventh episode of Total Pokémon Action. The castmates have their eyes set on a target, but when one castmate hurts everyone throughout the challenge, the castmates come together to put their differences aside and eliminate the fan favorite for being an annoyance.

The final 7 get an early wake-up call and are greeted with 7 bird pokémon: Rookidee, Fletchling, Hoothoot, Wingull, Pidgey, Rufflet, and Chatot. Jellicent informs them that they have each been assigned a bird for the challege: Rookidee with Houndoom, Fletchling with Ninetales, Hoothoot with Floatzel, Wingull with Milotic, Pidgey with Persian, Rufflet with Zoroark, and Chatot with Pachirisu. They are each paired based on the most similar personalities. Then, they learn that the movie of the day is Bird Box. They are to be blindfolded with only their bird buddies to guide them. The first one to make it to the safe haven wins immunity. Zoroark reluctantly puts her trust in Rufflet, then Persian is annoyed with Pidgey allows him to walk into a tree. Pachirisu is distracted talking to Chatot, then she bumps into Floatzel and shocks him and knocks him down. Houndoom is confident because of his heightened senses, so he's not listening to Rookidee. As he jumps over a river, a Trevenant appears and pushes him into the water. Rookidee follows him as he gets pushed by the river. Ninetales startles Milotic, but then they agree to work together when they realize who each other are. Persian continues to struggle as Pidgey gives him no direction. Zoroark runs through Persian and knocks him down. Houndoom finally wakes up in the water and Rookidee helps him find shore. But, as he walks out, he runs into Pachirisu and gets shocked. Milotic is still upset and distracted over Dewgong's elimination, but Ninetales snaps her out of it so Milotic can help her know when the coast is clear. So, Ninetales gets in the water and Floatzel starts swimming to get a lead. Milotic and Ninetales follow after Floatzel, then Zoroark gets in the water trying to get back in the race. Floatzel, Milotic, Zoroark, and Ninetales respectively are racing in the river. Milotic is ignoring Ninetales as she falls behind the pack. Persian is hesitant about jumping into the water he can't see, but Pachirisu runs into him, shocks him, and they both fall in the water. Floatzel reaches land first and Zoroark is approaching, so he runs. Milotic stops to wait for Ninetales to catch up. Zoroark reaches land as Houndoom gets in the water. Persian passes by Milotic and ominously warns her to watch out. Ninetales finally catches up to Milotic, but Pachirisu swims by them and shocks them both. She reaches land, then starts running. Houndoom also passes by them. Floatzel is in the lead, but Zoroark is quickly approaching. Persian, Pachirisu, and Houndoom are also in the race. Zoroark is the first one to make it to the safe haven and Jellicent grants her immunity. Pachirisu runs up to the safe haven, bumps into Zoroark, and shocks her. Floatzel, Houndoom, and Persian arrive too late and Jellicent tells them good effort.

Houndoom and Persian discuss the possibility of going against their original plan to vote out an annoyance. Zoroark shows up to give her opinion. At the awards ceremony, it comes down to Floatzel and Pachirisu, but Pachirisu gets the boot once and for all. Floatzel is very upset about, but Pachirisu admits that she saw it coming and that she lost motivation after Dewgong's elimination. Pachirisu wishes her friend and makes her exit telling the viewers that they haven't seen the last of her. But, on the way out, Bellossom sneaks back on the lot to blow up Jellicent's trailer.
