Three Zones and A Baby

'''The two teams slowly adjust to their new members as they are faced with their most dangerous challenge yet: babysitting. As they quietly run through three deadly courses, one camper is encouraged by her new teammate to forget about her relationship with her now rival, while another's maternal side is revealed. One's desire to replace someone else distracts him from the challenge, leading to the downfall of his team, and ultimately sending him flying.'''

Plot
The episode begins with Pimâpotew Kinosewak in their shelter, now with their new teammate Sky at their team, with Scarlett studying her REM sleep, telling her that she sleeps well. Jasmine greets Sky with a basket of fruit, but when she seems saddened about not being with Dave, Jasmine tells her that she can't trust Dave, still scorned from what Shawn did to her. All the while Shawn is situated outside and watches the exchange, believing that they were chatting about love and considers the prospect of a double date with him, Dave and their girls.

The episode continues with Waneyihtam Maskwak in their cave, now with Max as part of the team. He awakens and begins complaining about how uncomfortable it his sleep was, but Sugar begins to laugh at his mannerisms. Sugar then notices Dave and tells him to cheer up, as well as cautioning him to not waste the "evil genius" they now have on their team "like they did with the wizard." Shawn arrives in the cave and finds a forlorn Dave, still distressed over losing Sky to the other team. Shawn offers Dave some tree-bark that he brought as food, but as Dave notices some mites running around on the bark he declines and states he would be fine with starving. Shawn attempts to cheer his friend up, by telling him now that their girls were together they would be "girl talking" it up and soon come back to them. This is finally enough to raise Dave's spirits a little, just in time for Chris to call everyone over for the challenge.

Chris explains the challenge, "Hush or Die," to the contestants. They first must race through "The Lion's Lunch"; a zone full of sleeping lions and rattle snakes, where the rattle snakes, if awoken, could cause a chain reaction that will result in the lions waking up. The second zone, "The Pasta Blaster," features a blindfolded Chef using his sense of hearing to determine where they are so that he can fire a pasta cannon at them. They must also keep quiet to avoid waking up "Pasta Bear" in his cave. The third and final zone is "The Avalanche Zone," where they must cross a cold, winter terrain underneath a snow-covered ledge to the finish line. When Topher continues to make fun of Chris and mock him for "running out of creative steam" and calling him "old", Chris decides to up the danger by forcing all the contestants to carry a baby, which must avoid crying in order for them to avoid the dangers.

The contestants start the challenge, narrowly making it through the Lion's Lunch. Despite Jasmine's insistence that Dave is the enemy, Sky quickly saves Dave from a rattlesnake before it can bite him, claiming in the confessional that it was just "a parting gift." Meanwhile, Max continues to show a strangely parenting side whenever his baby begins crying, using baby-talk to calm it. This noticeably amuses Sugar on many occasions, with Max dismissing it as an act whenever she catches him. When Topher accidentally wakes up a lion with his cell phone, Scarlett and Jasmine work together to appear more threatening to the lion, with Scarlett jumping on Jasmine's shoulders and roaring, scaring it away. Team Kinosewak successfully makes it through The Lion's Lunch, while only Shawn has finished from Team Maskwak.

In the "Pasta Blaster" zone, Chris reveals that there are booby-traps spread out on the ground. Topher steps on an air horn and alerts Chef, whose blast at Topher alerts Pasta Bear (which is Scuba Bear with a blindfold, using his sense of smell to find the contestants). Although Dave warns Sky of the same air horn, Sky places the same air horn in front of Dave later on to sabotage him (at Jasmine's insistence), which breaks Dave's heart. He insists on being left behind, though Shawn refuses to leave him and helps him through the challenge.

Once Team Kinosewak reaches the Avalanche Zone, they must hand over their babies to an intern before they continue on to the finish line. Although Team Kinosewak is about to cross the finish line first, Topher gets the call he's been anticipating from a bearded producer of the show, asking if he'd like to replace Chris. Topher cheers excitedly, causing the snow above them to fall onto their team and bury them, while Team Maskwak slides across the snow on Dave's back to the finish line. As they celebrate, it is revealed that Max initially refused to give up the baby to the intern, due to his growing attachment to it, and hid it in his back.

At the elimination ceremony, although Scarlett angrily tells Topher that he is eliminated, Topher is confident about what will happen. When Topher is the only one without a marshmallow, he happily declares that he'll be replacing Chris as host, only to find out that the "producer" he spoke to was Chris in disguise. Chris gives Topher the parting advice to "Never play a player" in show business, then bids him good riddance as he blasts Topher away in the Cannon of Shame.

 * This challenge is similar to multiple different challenges of the past:

 * The second zone, involving the avoidance of a target-shooting Chef, is similar to Eat, Puke and Be Wary.
 * The final zone, involving being quiet in an avalanche zone, is similar to the Eine Kleine music challenge from Slap Slap Revolution.
 * The pasta blaster from Zeek And Ye Shall Find returns for the zone of the same name, once again used by Chef.

 * However, she did encounter him as Scuba Bear in A Blast from the Past.
 * When Topher is in the Avalanche Zone, he says he has "all four bars," but in the previous episode, Chris' phone is shown to have a maximum of five bars.
