JOHN B DECIDED THE BEST WAY TO SOLVE THEIR PROBLEMS WAS TO ABANDON KIARA AND SARAH IN THE MARSH. In an effort to get them to work out their problems, the boys put together a plan to get them on the same boat and leave them there for the night. Liv wasn't the biggest fan of tricking her friends, but she went along with it anyway.

JJ, John B and Liv had taken Heyward's boat out and found an open spot in the middle of the marsh to stay put. They had picked up Sarah as well, so the girls enjoyed the morning together as JJ and John B stayed in the cockpit. When they had stopped in their designated spot, JJ leaned out and got Liv's attention, telling her to start the plan.

So, reluctantly, Liv sent Sarah down into the boat to grab the cooler and locked her in the small area. She quickly joined the boys, scrunching her nose as she saw both of them shirtless. The redhead leaned against the doorframe, acting nonchalant as Kiara climbed onto the boat. The curly-haired girl walked over to Liv and looked to the boys, who were seemingly trying to fix something. Kiara rolled her eyes as JJ explained what was happening and eventually moved past all three of them to do the work herself.

What Kiara didn't see was the three teens sprinting away from her and diving into the water.

Liv came up for air and started swimming towards Pope, who had moved the HMS Pogue farther away from the bigger boat. John B and JJ reached the boat a moment before Liv, so she had to wait a second before she could grab onto the side and haul herself up.

"Get your asses back here!"

John B turned back, JJ pushing himself into the boat before him. "We can't! Not until you two figure it out!"

The blond reached his hand over to grab Liv's, holding onto her tightly as he helped her into the boat. "You can't just leave!" Sarah shouted, Liv grimacing at the desperation in their voices.

"There's food in the cabin, and JJ rolled a blunt." Pope yelled.

"Hydroponic!" JJ smiled wide, nodding towards the girls stuck on the boat before slinging an arm over Liv's shoulders.

Liv gives Kiara a two-finger salute as she watches Sarah dive off the boat in efforts to swim after them. "Sorry, my loves! Be back soon!" The redhead yells over, receiving a middle finger from Kiara. JJ pulls Liv in closer as they drive off, the girl sighing as she almost melted into his touch. She wraps her arms around his torso, her head resting gently on his chest. "I really hope this works," She mumbled.

"I'm sure it will, Livvy." JJ responds, placing a sweet kiss on top of her head.

The next day, the crew went back to get Sarah and Kiara. Liv tilted her head when they said the plan didn't work, but she caught the wink Sarah gave to Kiara and held back her smile. They spent the rest of the day gathering supplies for their late night treasure hunting, getting everything from rope to a pulley, and gathering up dark clothes to wear to blend in with the night.
