The green team members arrive at camp and see a carton of eggs.

Juleka: "18 eggs, 9 people. That'll last a while."

Felix: "If we have one each, we'll have tomorrow morning and the morning after. That'll take us to the next challenge. I'll take this turn filling the water bottles."

Felix collects everyone's bottles.

Sabrina: "There are a lot of bottles, I'll help you."

Felix and Sabrina leave towards the well. Marinette taps Alya's shoulder and moves down the beach. Alya and Nino follow.

Marinette: "Felix whispered something to Adrien at the challenge. I don't know what his game is, but I don't trust him."

Felix and Sabrina at the well.

Felix: "About time I was filled in. What's the situation here?"

Sabrina: "Long story short, Alya and I have been butting heads for a while. I think removing Nora from the picture has weakened her position."

Felix: "Yes, I never actually congratulated you on that move last night. Well done."

Sabrina: "Thank you. I'll do you one better too. I think I've isolated Marinette as well."

Felix: "I noticed she was extremely upset last night and this morning. How did you pull that off?"

Sabrina: "Remember that 'Anansi' vote we saw?"

Felix: "You serious?" Sabrina smiles and nods. "That was you?"

Sabrina: "That was an act of me alright."

Felix: Laughs. "You are despicable. I have a feeling we're going to go on well together."

Sabrina: "Thanks... I think. You like chaos?"

Felix: "I love a bit of chaos. In the event of another tribal council, who do you have in mind?"

Sabrina: "Alya, time to settle a rivalry. And now that her bodyguard's out of the way, I can take a direct shot."

Felix: "And do you have means of securing the vote? Either a majority or a miraculous."

Sabrina: "I have Ali and Jalil on my side. Juleka is a maybe, Marc is a maybe. If it comes to it, I have a miraculous as a backup."

Felix: "In that case, Alya next tribal council and Marinette the one after. If she's isolated as you say, that makes her vulnerable, sounds like an easy picking to me."

Sabrina: "Consider it done."

Felix: (confessional) "The decision I made today comes down to this. There's no way blue was winning that challenge, Alix was doing too great a job with those knots. Could she have untied the ropes on her own frame faster than we did? Maybe. But until I've had time to assess the alliances on this tribe, I don't want to risk a miraculous in the hands of someone I may want to vote out in the immediate future."

Alya, Marinette and Nino.

Nino: "What do we do about it?"

Marinette: "Felix being here isn't going to be helpful for us, that's for sure. Why don't we vote him out?"

Alya: "You mean throw the challenge? We tried that last time with Sabrina."

Nino: "It could work if we have enough people. You'll be with us this time, right?"

Marinette: "How many more times, I didn't write Nora's name down."

Alya: "Well, where did 'Anansi' come from?"

Marinette: "I don't know."

Alya: "That's all you ever say."

Marinette: "I don't know what else I can say. You have to believe me."

Alya: "I want to believe you. I really do."

Alya: (confessional) "One of the important things of being a journalist is to keep your mind on the facts. The fact is someone wrote 'Anansi' last night instead of 'Nora'. Someone who must have known about that nickname, one way or another, and I intend to find out who. As much as it pains me, but until this mystery is solved, no one, not even Marinette, can be above suspicion."

Marinette returns to the shelter.

Marinette: "Marc, can we have a chat?"

Marc: "Sure." Marinette walks through the bushes, Marc follows. "What's going on?"

Marinette: "Felix has been up to no good ever since he got here. I want him out."

Some branches in the background move slightly. Marc nor Marinette notice it.

Marc: "You do realise we're not going to tribal council?"

Marinette: "But we could."

Marc: "You mean to throw the challenge? Didn't we try that to vote out Sabrina?"

Marinette: "It'll work this time. My plan is foolproof."

Marc: "Try telling that to Nora."

Marinette: "How many times do I have to say I didn't vote for her last night?"

Marc: "I believe you, but what does it have to cost us before you understand this is a terrible idea?"

Marinette sighs and shakes her head and she and Marc walk back to the shelter. Felix and Sabrina are revealed behind the branches.

Sabrina: "Now what do we do?"

Felix: "How do you feel about a pre-emptive strike?"

Sabrina and Felix smile.

Sabrina: "You have to pretend to be still scrambling otherwise it won't work. I'll inform Ali and Jalil."

Felix returns to the shelter and places everyone's water bottles near the fire.

Sabrina: (confessional; Butterfly Miraculous) "If I've got everything right, I'm in an ample position to eject Alya from the island entirely. This will either be the greatest move in the game so far, that I'm aware of, or it will be the greatest blunder in the game so far, that I'm aware of. Here's hoping I'm not being played by Felix."
