## Story

### Night 12

Kalasin tribe returns to camp after a brutal tribal council for Darion. Darion immediately confronts Helen about her decision to vote out Kaiti. Helen apologizes for voting against him, but she felt scared.

Rico approaches Foley and apologizes for writing his name down, but he felt like he was being pushed out of the alliance. Foley appreciates Rico coming forward and saying that it was him. They both agree that he is in no way on the bottom, they shake heads before heading back to camp.

### Day 13

The tribes are welcomed to their respective mats, old Kalasin members on Phayao shake their heads when they see that Kaiti has been voted out of the game. The rules of the challenges are explained. Phayao must sit one player out of the challenge and they decided to sit Jelia.
The competition will be played in match-ups with Espen facing off against Eleos. Espen earned a point for Kalasin. Tati scores a point for Kalasin against Alessia. Novak earned a point for Phayao against Darion. Helen earned Kalasin's third point against Serene. Daughtry earned Phayao's second point against Nasir. Tati went again and earned a point against Freya for Kalasin. Kalasin needed only one more point to win reward. Rico scored the final point for Kalasin when he went against Eleos. Kalasin won Fishing gear and potatoes and toiletries as their reward.
Before leaving the challenge, Kalasin decided to send Daughtry back to Exile Island, and he chose to bring Espen with him. Daughtry and an angry Espen left the challenge site and to Exile Island.

Despite winning the challenge, Kalasin came back to camp with more anger. Nasir decided to confront Rico about last tribal and trying to vote Foley out of the game. Nasir calls Rico a traitor to the original tribe. Rico explains to Nasir that Foley has already forgiven him. Soon, Darion, Helen and Tati gather around to listen in on the fight. Nasir storms off to find Foley.

Nasir finds Foley, and says that his mouth might have gotten the best of him. He tells Foley that he doesn't feel safe on the tribe if they were to lose another challenge. He asks Foley to help him search for the idol. Foley agrees.

Nasir and Foley meet up after a while and both confirm that they were unable to find anything in the woods. Foley tells Nasir that someone on the tribe must have it already.

The first loss for Phayao takes a toll on some members of the tribe. Jelia returns to camp upset that they lost the challenge. Alessia's happy energy irritates Jelia who then asks Alessia why she's happy that they just lost a challenge in front of the whole tribe. The tribe goes silent. Alessia stares at Jelia and tells her that she's not happy that they lost, but she's happy because morale has to stay high. Bree agrees with Alessia about keeping morale high in the camp. Freya and Novak defend Jelia by telling her that they've been on a losing tribe and it doesn't feel great to lose. Freya takes Jelia away from camp to chill out.

Novak goes to talk with Alessia and Bree. Alessia doesn't understand why being happy is so bad and she doesn't understand why Jelia wants to soak in her defeat. Alessia says that she's probably a big reason why Kalasin lost challenges like they did. Alessia questions voting out Jelia at the next tribal. Bree seconds that and says that Jelia is dead weight at this point.

Novak tells both of them that they don't need to worry about tribal until the time comes, but he does tell both of them that he will protect them. Alessia and Bree both say the same in return.

Alessia and Bree convince Novak to help make sure that Jelia is the next to go. Novak follows along as Alessia promises Eleos, Freya and Serene safety at the next tribal council.

On Exile Island, Daughtry and Espen return back to the two urns and both choose one. Espen's urn reveals a note which directs him to read in private.

Espen returns from reading his note. Espen's angry and asks why Daughtry why he decided to choose him to come with him again. Daughtry refuses to answer him. Espen starts yelling with Daughtry trying to pry the truth out of him. Daughtry does not give him an answer and results in him walking away from Espen altogether.

### Day 14

At the Immunity Challenge, Daughtry and Espen return from Exile Island and stand on their respective mats. The rules of the challenges are explained to both tribes. In a game of strategy, Kalasin ultimately came out victorious in the win sending the newly formed Phayao to their first tribal council.

Phayao returns back to camp after their loss, Jelia lies in the shelter trying to catch her breathe.

The tribe starts checking up on Jelia, and sit with her in the shelter. Jelia thanks her tribe for checking on her, but midway through a sentence she goes silent and her eyes roll up. Her tribe mates call for a medic who come to check on her. The tribe stands behind watching the medic do his thing. Once the medical team finally get Jelia, she was made aware that she passed out and there is nothing seriously wrong with her. They will check back with her in a few days. Jelia apologizes to her tribe, and they all comfort her.

Serene asks Jelia if she'll be able to compete in any of these upcoming challenges. Jelia gets offended by Serene's question. Jelia answers her question in a very irritable tone. Serene tells Jelia to calm down that she was asking a serious question. Jelia defends her stance and says that she is ready to go. Serene replies calmly, but walks away rolling her eyes.

Serene talks with Alessia, Bree, Eleos, Freya and Novak about voting together to take Jelia out of this game. Alessia and Bree jump at the opportunity and they are followed by Eleos. Freya says she doesn't mind voting out Jelia that she has been shady since the start. Novak feels a little uneasy about the vote.

After the group disperses, Novak takes off to look for the hidden immunity idol. While searching in the woods, he notices a key hanging from one of the brances. He climbs up the tree to grab the key. He makes sure no one else is looking around before stuffing the key into his shorts.

Novak continues to search around the island before putting his hand in a tree trunk to reveal a black box outlined with purple. He sees the key slot and grabs the key out to unlock the box. He grabs the idol out of the box and puts it in his shorts. He grabs the box, takes some of the string from the idol and creates a similar looking fake idol before burying it into the ground. He kisses the idol and makes sure it is hidden before returning back to camp.

Novak returns to camp with Daughtry and Jelia who are discussing the vote. Daughtry says that they should try to convince Phayao to target Freya tonight. He says that he does not trust her. Novak says that Freya would be a great option tonight.

The castaways grab their torch, Novak grabs his bag and makes sure he has the hidden immunity idol with him.

At Tribal Council, the tribe is asked how they ended up sitting at tribal after their winning streak. Novak simply answers that they were outplayed by the other tribe. He admits that they got too confident. The tribe is questioned whether tribal lines are still a thing. Alessia answers that tribal lines are slowly being dissolved, and people are forming alliances solely on relationships. Jelia says that's not true, and she feels that no one on Phayao has made an effort with her. Bree confesses that she hasn't spent much time with Jelia because they are two different people who just don't go together. Daughtry pitches an offer to Phayao saying that Jelia may not be the best option to go just because personalities don't match. Daughtry is asked what he's basing his vote on tonight, and he confesses that he will be voting based on who he can rely on in this game.
In the end, Novak decided to vote with Phayao and Freya to blindside Jelia and Daughtry by voting Jelia out of the game in a 6-2 vote.
