The strongman walked away from where Safiya, Joey, Roi, and Calliope were. They all left their hiding spots to return to figuring out how to piece together the puzzle.

Safiya: We decide to figure out this three-dimensional totem puzzle the same way you do any puzzle at home: find the most prominent designs and try to match them up.

Mat, Manny, Richard, Ro, and Mortimer all ran to the rest of their friends at the totem. "Hey, what's going on?" Richard asked as he jogged over. "We have to figure out this puzzle." Roi responded as everyone went to help.

Manny: We're so excited because we just broke out Ro and Richard out of jail and no one's even looking at us, and we're like, "We just broke the bitches out!" Like, can we get a little bit of praise?

Richard: We don't have time to celebrate. We need to figure out this puzzle. Sorry, Manny.

"This is the front side, this is the back side, or vice versa." Safiya pointed out the poster with the puzzle on it to the new people.

Rosanna: It's a huge 3-D puzzle that needs to line up. It's cool.

Everyone began to put the pieces together and construct the totem correctly when the strongman bursted out. Everyone ran to hide from the monster, the jail crew lagging behind a bit.

Richard: I am not expecting the strongman to come out. I thought the other group took care of him! So there I am, just hiding with the stuffed animals.

Rosanna: We have to hide 'cause I don't want to get caught again. I don't want to go back to jail.

The strongman destroyed multiple things trying to find the guests before storming off. Calliope announced that he was gone as everyone left their hiding spots. Everyone watched as Mat and Manny put the final piece on the pole causing a compartment on the base of the pole to open.

Roi: We finally solve the puzzle and this little compartment pops open. Safiya pulls out the final piece of the artifact, and we're good to go.

"To cleanse the artifact, insert the fragments into the configuration and wrap it with a holy band of leather. To recover the leather band, a new strongman must be found." Safiya read from the note recovered with the final piece.

MatPat: And they are literal with "strong man."

"Choose wisely. Only the strongest will survive." Safiya finished reading to the group. The group walked back to the lounge, thinking of their decisions on who to vote.
