While someone appears to win the challenge, a shocking revelation due to fearful necessity ends up forfeiting the challenge for their team and leads to their elimination.'''

Plot
In the morning, Chef rudely wakes the Villainous Vultures by giving them their breakfast, gruel. Scott is shown to enjoy it, due to his upbringing, and heads over to the girl's cabin to get more. He meets with new teammate Courtney, who gladly tells him to take as much as he wants. After he leaves, Courtney considers forming an alliance with him, concluding that now that she is with the villains, she could use an ally. Meanwhile, at the spa hotel, the Heroic Hamsters are giving Duncan a welcome party. He does not take well to the gesture, believing that they are building him up to betray him later. However, he admits to eating the cake and states it "was like eating the happiest day of his life." Sierra tries to take a picture of their new member, but discovers her phone has been destroyed. A flashback reveals that Mike's evil personality was the culprit. Distraught about the loss of her Cody photos, Sam tries to cheer Sierra up by telling her to picture Cody in her mind. Sierra does so and sees each of her teammates with Cody's head. In the confessional, Duncan wonders how his girlfriend is doing back on his former team. Gwen is then shown crying. She tells the audience that she only came back for another season to make amends with Courtney, only to fail at her every attempt to apologize. Courtney, who overhears this, is stunned but still uncertain of her sincerity.

Chris gathers the teams and introduces a foul smelling Cameron back from exile. During his trip to Boney Island, Cameron made a bear urinate on him to allow him to explore the island without being harmed by the faunas. Following his explanation, Chris gives one of the day's challenge. Both teams have been supplied a giant stack of pancakes. Each contestant must eat as much as they can in a minute's time, powering through hidden surprises such as animals, bombs, and mousetraps. Then, with full stomachs, move through an obstacle course from last season without vomiting or they will be eliminated. The task is made even harder when Scott jeers at Chris that it is easy, causing the host to add an extra obstacle, the Salad Spinner (which he has never tested). Courtney scolds Scott for his comment, but receives a flirty response in return.

Alejandro and Sierra are the first to represent their teams. Sierra is immediately eliminated after she confuses fish eyes for blueberries and vomits. While Cameron replaces her, Alejandro manages to complete the course. Scott is next, but his stomach becomes upset due to eating too much of the gruel. Cameron is kicked away from the Salad Spinner, but Chris allows him to skip it, much to Heather's annoyance. Duncan is up next as Scott walks slowly, not realizing that his weight seems to make the obstacle course malfunction, but he still manages to finish it. Courtney argues with Heather about her refusal to go next, but she is spared when Gwen inserts herself upon Scott's completion. Courtney worries that she's setting traps for her, but Heather reminds her she's too busy as crabs jump from the pancakes and attack Gwen. She is soon eliminated after she is unable to resist puking and falls off the course. Mike and Courtney are up next, but a dynamite booby trap explodes on Mike, sending him to the Salad Spinner. After exiting it, the Malevolent One takes over and sabotages the contraption. This causes the machine to move at a very high speed, flinging Courtney into a tree.

As Alejandro mocks the Hamsters, Sam feels insulted and tags Zoey out so he can end the challenge himself. Chris allows it, under the condition that the Vultures do the same. Alejandro replaces Heather, and the two boys race to clear their pancakes. Although Sam finishes first, he is too tired to move. However, Alejandro continues to insult him, which gives him a "power up." They end up at the Salad Spinner at the same time, but as Sam tries to exit first, Alejandro grabs him at the last second before he can touch the ground. Unfortunately, a bee from the pancakes stings Alejandro, causing him to let go of Sam and give the Hamsters another victory. At the campfire ceremony, Chris makes several shocking announcements. Firstly, Gwen did not injure Courtney in any way for the entire episode. He then reveals that the Heroes did not complete the challenge. Having reviewed footage, the host requests Sam to turn out his pockets. Small pancake pieces fall out, and he explains that he was saving them in case he had to go back to Boney Island. Since the Hamsters did not finish the pancakes, Chris declares the Vultures the actual winner of the challenge. Scott then volunteers to go on exile, believing that he can find the idol like last season. Sam is voted off and takes the Flush of Shame. Halfway through, however, he gets stuck and Chef has to use a plunger to unclog him.
