The Bold and the Booty-ful

'''The final four is given the final immunity challenge. A villain sabotages several of his fellow competitors, one contestant faces an old enemy, and another is faced with a problem. In the end, one contestant is automatically eliminated due to angering the host, and another is eliminated by the winner's sole vote, thus allowing two contestants to move on to the finale.'''

Plot
The episode begins with an upset Scott, mourning Courtney's elimination. He states he misses having someone to boss him around, and Mal convinces him that it was Gwen's fault that she's gone, which Scott buys. Gwen announces in the confessional that she will need allies in order to win the game, and tries to talk to Scott but he does not listen to her. Inside Mike's brain, he and his first three personalities are almost at the tower, until they find Manitoba Smith. Mike asks what Mal is making him do, and he responds that he is destroying Mike's dreams. Manitoba selects a cloud displaying one about kissing Zoey, earning a smile from Mike and a romantic comment from a sighing Svetlana. Mike snaps out of it when Manitoba throws the cloud to the fire, ordering him to stop and help them, but Manitoba questions the plan. He is sure to point out that Mike will just be the dominant personality again, and he argues that he should be in control because he's the first. He tries to prove it with a license, only to find out that Mal is apparently the dominant one.

Zoey is then seen in the Spa Hotel, pondering Alejandro's warning about Mal. Chris then bursts into her room, complaining about the quality of the hotel, but Zoey tricks him into leaving saying she has to use the bathroom. She elbows a portrait of Chris and something behind his teeth falls out - the DVD of Mal's misdeeds. She sneaks into the library and plays it, discovering that Mal has been active longer than she previously thought, and hits herself for not figuring it out sooner. Chris then tells the campers to meet him at the Dock of Shame for the challenge, and "Mike" assures Zoey that things are normal and remembers when he gave her a bracelet. However, Zoey fumes in the confessional that Mike actually gave her a necklace, not a bracelet, and calls him a "weasel." Chris explains that the contestants must find the treasure they are assigned and bring it back, undamaged. The first person to do that gets invincibility. He goes on to say that the camper who comes back empty-handed or finishes last will automatically be eliminated, and the immune camper will send someone home, effectively causing a double elimination. Zoey is assigned Sasquatchanakwa, Mike/Mal is assigned a Gilded Chris Award, Scott is assigned a diamond guarded by Fang, and Gwen is supposed to retrieve a painting of Chris from his destroyed "cottage" intact.

Scott is the first to reach his destination when his finds out that the diamond is attached to Fang's teeth, and he is chased around thanks to Chris making a not-so-subtle announcement about his status. Zoey then gets to a tree and decides to climb up to get a better view of where Sasquatchanakwa is, destroying a loudspeaker when the host attempts to recreate Scott's misery. Gwen is the next to reach her location and asks how hard it could be to find some art, but quickly retracts her statement when she sees how burned up the cottage is, with piles of debris everywhere. She finds a picture, but Mike/Mal sneaks up behind her intending to knock her out. Gwen accidentally knocks Mike/Mal in the face, and when questioned, he says that despite the statue being long lost, he thought that it would be at the cottage because Chris wouldn't lose a statue of himself. They agree to team up, but when she warns him about the fragileness of the structure, Mike/Mal smiles evilly and kicks down a post, burying her in rubble.

Zoey runs away from Sasquatchanakwa while carrying away it's egg breakfast, while Mike/Mal runs into Scott and suggests that they work together and go to the final two. Mike/Mal states confidently in the confessional that Scott will believe he's practically handing him the prize money, and Scott proves him right in his own confessional. Gwen pulls herself out of the wreckage and grumbles about Mike only to find an intact painting of Chris. She then accidentally smudges it and frantically works to restore it, but can't find the perfect shade of brown until she comes across bear feces. Extremely disgusted but satisfied with the color, she puts it to the painting. Mike/Mal sabotages a trap he and Scott made to capture Fang and traps Scott instead before watching Fang beat him up. Zoey tries to surrender the eggs, but the branch they're both on breaks. Upon landing, Zoey shatters the eggs before both begin rolling down the hill and land by Chris, who announces that Zoey wins the challenge. Mike drags Scott over and when Chris shows disappointment in their failure, Mike/Mal argues that he brought back one of Chris' favorite things - an injured contestant. Chris is pleased, admitting he is right. Gwen's efforts result in her arriving last, though with the complete painting, unlike the empty-handed males. Chris doesn't recognize it, and then recoils at the smell. Gwen reluctantly admits she used bear poop for paint and Chris pukes on the painting before eliminating Gwen from the competition. She tries to get him to revoke his judgment, but ultimately accepts her fate angrily.

Inside Mike's head, Mike fights to stay afloat against Manitoba, Chester, and Vito, who are ganging up on him about who should be the primary personality. Svetlana tries to raise morale in Mike's defense, regardless if he's the original or not. Mike thanks her for her support when Manitoba reminds him that they're inside a world Mal created, helping Mike realize that the wallet was really a piece of brain and that he is the original after all. Mike then molds the brain into a key and frees Manitoba. Everyone else runs ahead while Chester complains about walking until Mike grudgingly agrees to carry him. Gwen wishes Zoey good luck in the competition and Zoey says that she hopes they're on the same team next time. Gwen quickly states she never wants to return right before being flushed. Chris then tells Zoey to choose who is eliminated as well and she reluctantly chooses Scott because she promised she'd take Mike to the finale but also because she wanted to help bring Mike back out. Scott warns Zoey that she picked the wrong person to take with her and she cryptically agrees. Chris pushes Scott into the toilet and flushes him before signing off, and Mike/Mal and Zoey will face off in their spots in the finale.
