Hurl and Go Seek

'''The final seven contestants are merged in order to eat a disgusting meal where the first finisher gets to hunt the others in a hide-and-seek showdown. One loses control due to another rejecting their feelings, while someone finally reclaims the respect of another by not turning their back on them. One ultimately sends themselves home; depressing another, but two players' discovery leads to an even more shocking conclusion.'''

Plot
The episode begins with the contestants sleeping in their respective quarters, and an eerie voice begins to speak and mocks them. However the voice turns into a shout by Chris who awakens all of them. All of the contestants complain about Chris awakening them in the middle of the night, and he gleefully announces a merge. The contestants are still unhappy, as that could've waited until morning. Chris then explains he has prepared a celebratory meal for them for reaching the merge. Despite the fancy dining area he prepares for them, the only food served is Juggy Chug, much to the disgust of everyone except Sugar who is reminded of a scene from a commercial about the food. The meal serves as a pre-challenge for the actual challenge. The first person who finishes their cup of Juggy Chug the fastest, wins invincibility. Just as the challenge is about to begin, Chef informs Chris that the Juggy Chug served to the contestants has expired decades ago though Chris dismisses it.

The challenge begins with everyone except Sugar having problem drinking their glass. Seeing Jasmine having problems, Shawn attempts to calm her down but she angrily scolds him, still angry for what he did several episodes ago. Meanwhile, Dave, remembering Shawn's advice from the previous episode, attempts to impress Sky by winning the challenge despite his fear of germs. However, he eventually passes out due to its disgusting contents. As things couldn't get any worse for the contestants, Sugar starts singing the Juggy Chug commercial theme, further grossing out everyone. Once Sugar is done singing, she finishes gulping down her glass and wins the challenge and immunity. Despite the challenge has ended, Dave and Sky continue drinking their Juggy Chug, with Dave finishing his faster than Sky. Not realizing how mad Sky is, Dave begins to taunt her for losing to him until Sky yells at him and tells him that they were or never will be a couple. Devastated that Sky rejected him, Dave starts to crying and Chris make things worse by reminding him of his failure and that Sugar has already won.

With the pre-challenge over, Chris announce the actual challenge; Hide and Group Seek. For winning the previous challenge, Sugar will be "It" and it is her job to find the other contestants who are tasked to avoid getting captured by her until sunrise. Whoever is tagged by Sugar will join her in finding the remaining contestants. The person who manages to avoid getting caught until sunrise will win invincibility. The contestants are given a head start while Sugar drinks the remaining Juggy Chug that the others couldn't finish. Shawn once again tries to help Jasmine but she rejects him, believing that he will sell her out again. Meanwhile, Dave is still determined to win Sky's heart and tries to find where she is. From her hiding spot, Sky tells Dave to leave or else they will be caught. An argument breaks out between the two and becomes even worse when Dave asks her can he be her boyfriend. Once again, Sky rejects him and returns to her hiding spot with a terrible stomach ache. Heartbroken, Dave finally reaches his breaking point of insanity and throws his shoe at Sky's direction before howling like a wolf.

Meanwhile, Max and Scarlett begin to suffer from food poisoning like Sky. Scarlett admits in the confessional that she could had left Max alone anytime, but choose to remain with him since he will be caught by Sugar easily. Suddenly, Max is hit by the shoe thrown by Dave and throws it away, hitting Sugar who had begin hunting the others. From the top of a tree, Dave asks Sugar to give him back his shoe. Sugar complies and throws it at him with such force, he falls down the tree. With Dave now on ground level, Sugar tags him. Meanwhile, Chris calls the Juggy Chug's poison hotline and is informed that whoever eats expired Juggy Chug will suffer from various symptoms including vomiting, nausea, strange behavior and hallucinations. Max and Scarlett discover a secret control panel hidden behind a tree after Max leans against it.

Back to Sugar's team, Dave sees two love birds and tells the male bird not to trust the female, comparing them to his situation. Seeing this, Sugar discovers that she can motivate him to tell her where Sky is hiding. Already mad from being rejected by Sky and from the side effects of the Juggy Chug, Dave complies and led him to where he last saw Sky. As expected, Sky was still within the area and was easily caught by Sugar. Suddenly, Sugar too begin to suffer from the Juggy Chug side effecs but dismisses it. Back to Scarlett, she had hard time figuring how to hack the control panel as a result of her food poisoning. Just as she is about to figure it out, Max vomits on the panel, causing it to haywire. With nothing left to do, Scarlett picks up Max and leaves the area. As rain started to fall, the duo stumbled across Sugar's team, all covered in mud and moaning as a result from their food poisoning, making them to act like zombies.

Shawn and Jasmine are the only contestants that weren't caught; with Shawn hiding on top of a tall tree while Jasmine hide in a cave. However, Sugar's team found her and begin to chase her. From the tree, Shawn saw Jasmine being chased by "zombies." Not wanting to make the same mistake as before, Shawn pull her up to the tree just as the "zombies" are about to catch her. However, the "zombies" continue to chase them by climbing up the tree, something that Shawn never anticipitated. With no other choice and no other place to run, Shawn decides to sacrifice himself by bringing the "zombies" down with him. The moment they touch the ground, Chris declares time is up and Jasmine won the second immunity. Before he leaves, Chris tells the contestants to head to the meeting area so the medical team can clean their stomachs. From the top, Jasmine finally gives in to her food poisoning and vomits on the others.

At the campfire ceremony, everyone has finally recovered from their food poisoning and Chris give all but Sky and Dave a marshmallow. After checking the votes, Chris declares that Sky is save as a result of Dave voting himself off. Jasmine finally forgives Shawn and kisses him on the cheek for saving her. At the Cannon of Shame, Dave was sad that Sky didn't even came to say goodbye and was blast away from the island. Without his knowledge, Sky indeed came to see him but was too late. As Chris attempts to sign off the episode, the entire island suddenly went haywire, with snow blowing, the landscapes and trees moving and the soundeffects went off-key. Chris tries to keep his cool, but he ultimately yells "WHAT THE HECK IS GOING ON!?" as the camera fades to black.
