Shawshank Ridonc-tion

'''The teams travel to one of the most dangerous prisons in Australia, where they must escape and float down a river to the next Chill Zone. Someone is determined to win to be able to speak to someone, but in the end gets dumped by their love, leaving an opening for a doubter to work with; while two rivals finally bond with one another. Meanwhile, the four greatest rivals end up trying to take down each other, only to work together in order to survive their ordeals. While one squad appears to have the upper hand, the other gets another shot through a non-elimination.'''

Plot
The teams get their next Travel Tips and head for Harare International Airport to take a flight to Melbourne, Australia. As the teams board the bus, they have to wait for the last place team in the previous episode; Josee and Jacques to board. The Ice Dancers reveal their new black attire, intending to intimidate the other teams, as well as signifying their change in attitude. All the teams board the flight, where Don informs the contestants about "boomerangs" which can be used to force a team to redo a challenge, and can be found attached to certain Travel Tips. Sanders tries to think strategically about using the boomerang, but MacArthur is determined to use it on the Ice Dancers without any doubt. Carrie tells Kitty that she has finally decided to confess her feelings for Devin. This leads Kitty to try and push Emma into telling Noah her feelings for him, though Emma affirms she'll tell him after the race.

After the teams arrive at Australia, Don explains the challenge. Teams have to head to a maximum security prison in Geelong, where they will be locked into cells and must try to escape by using the four methods, which are tunnels, trap doors, tools, or bars. They must then head for the Barwon River where they are free to use their boomerangs and after that point, the boomerangs expire. The first team to finish will also win a phone call home which makes Devin ecstatic at getting the chance to call Shelley. Josee and Jacques get a boomerang attached to their Travel Tip. In the Best Friend's taxi, Carrie tries to express her feelings for Devin, but he is too distracted by the taxi erratically passing by traffic to notice. Over in the Cadets taxi, Sanders tells MacArthur if they win the phone call that she would like to call her grandmother who's been sick, but MacArthur just wants to call her pet cat and insists to flip for it.

Upon arriving to the prison, all teams are handcuffed, thrown, and locked into cells. The Stepbrothers continue bickering, but are surprised to discover they came up with the same plan while bickering. Soon, they realize they have similar taste in movies and video games and then begin to bond for the first time. As the two continue to bond, they accidentally discover a trapdoor underneath the bunk beds when Lorenzo hops onto the top bunk, causing them to fall down the trapdoor.

In the Ice Dancers' cell, Josee gets a claustrophobic attack, and in her panic manages to break through the bars and escape from the cell. Sanders tries to convince Josee and Jacques to help break the Cadets out, in exchange for a favor. Josee agrees on the condition that MacArthur compliments their sport. MacArthur initially refuses, but after some insistence from Sanders finally complies. However despite doing as Josee asks, the Ice Dancers do not hold up their end of the deal and leave the Cadets behind, much to their anger. As the Best Friends try to escape, Carrie continuously tries to tell Devin about her feelings for him, but he’s too distracted trying to find a way out of the cell and doesn't hear her. In the Reality TV Pros' cell, Owen finds a trapdoor hidden under the toilet. Just as Noah was about to say that they are not escaping through the sewer, Emma and Kitty break into their cell and the four of them escape through the sewers much to their disgust due to Owen using the toilet earlier. The Stepbrothers are the first to arrive at the Don Box for the next challenge, an All-In. The All-In challenge involves the contestants building a raft and sailing it down the river to the Chill Zone. Due to the Stepbrothers taking time to roleplay and make a theme song, the Best Friends manage to pass them.

The Ice Dancers get to the other Don Box, but Josee trips over a rock to which she falls face first into the mud. The Police Cadets show up and MacArthur laughs at Josee for falling in the mud. Both the Ice Dancers and Police Cadets reveal their boomerangs, which they aim at each other. Josee offers to rip the boomerang in half as long as the Cadets rip theirs. Sanders offers to do it on a count of three, but both do not rip the boomerangs, leading it to be a lie. Both teams then boomerang each other despite Sanders trying to defuse the situation, they are sent back to the previous challenge, where all four are placed in the same cell called "the black hole." The two teams form a tense temporary alliance and look for a way out.

Meanwhile Carrie and Devin arrive in first place and win the phone call home. Devin tries to call Shelley, but she doesn't pick up right away and he keeps trying to call her over and over. Carrie desperately tries to confess her feelings once more. The Stepbrothers come in second, after their ship is destroyed. In the cell that the Ice Dancers and Police Cadets are in, they use a trapdoor that Sanders discovers in the ceiling. Both the Ice Dancers and Police Cadets manage to escape, build their rafts, and race down the river. As more teams finish, Devin finally gets through to Shelley, only to find out she has dumped him for her tennis instructor Ashton, sending him into hysterics. Carrie decides to hold off on her confession and wait.

As the Cadets and Ice Dancers approach the finish line, Josee uses her oar to knock them off their raft, securing tenth place for herself and Jacques. As the Cadets sulk over their loss, Don reveals the round is a non-elimination, prompting them to celebrate while vowing to get revenge on the Ice Dancers. Carrie tries to console a sobbing Devin as Don signs off the episode.
