It's the second challenge. The contestants have to compete in the maze challenge. The team member that reaches the goal first will win victory for their team. The contestants were offered a feast with food and drinks to replenish themselves. Bob has a good sense of smell so he leads Moss and Sage. Chaos, Syde and Galaxy go towards another direction. Vill volunteers to go alone but Pom forcibly tags along with him to brag about her succeses to him. Sarasa, Larimar and Robot travel the other way. However, you had released an enormous python that gobbled up anyone in its path.
Chaos, Galaxy and Syde meets the python first and they tried to escape. However, Chaos tripped and fell down. Galaxy went back to rescue him but they both got devoured by the python. Syde couldn't build up courage so he hid in a corner and waited until the python slithered away. Even though he trained so much for the physical challenges, he still couldn't muster the courage to face danger head on like Hiro.
Just before the python noticed him, Sarasa threw a vial at it as a distraction. Syde and Sarasa reunite and they team up, she proposes to form an alliance once they reached the merge.
Meanwhile Bob was leading the way for Moss and Sage. They started talking and realized they have lots of things in common. Bob suddenly picks up Sage and Moss after detecting the python's presence and runs away. The python chases after them. Bob tries his best to run but the Python was slowly catching up. Sage realized what they must do and sacrificed themselves to the python so Bob can buy more time to escape with Moss. Moss left a tearful goodbye and promised to win the challenge. Pom offers to help Vill because she feels pity for him and was thrilled to have him under her control. Vill agreed because he had no choice. Syde, Sarasa meet up with Moss and Bob. They manage to team up for this challenge. Unfortunately for them, Vill lured the python's attention to their group which devoured them all except Moss. Pom praised his intelligence as she valued how ruthless he was. The python however started chasing them instead but they quickly reached the gates (where the python can't enter due to iron bars). For each team to continue, one member of each team has to sacrifice themselves for the gates to open. Foil volunteered from Team Solar because he wanted to gain the trust of his team. Larimar reluctantly became the sacrifice as he decided Moss was better at challenges than him.
Vill and Pom tries to sabotage Moss but he avoids their advances. Pom guards the goal and tries to prevent Moss from winning but he managed to get past her and reached the goal first. However, he didn't notice it was a fake goal so he got entrapped in a cage with Pom. This was what Vill wanted and it allowed him to reach the true goal and win for his team.Team Lunar was up for elimination. Chaos asked Galaxy and Syde on who should be voted out. Galaxy mentions that Syde and Moss are useful for challenges but she likes Sage too. Chaos states that in order for her to win, she has to sacrifice contestants that she had bonded with if it's necessary. Sage thinks they are getting voted out but Bob suddenly becomes swollen and unfit to do anymore challenges. Therefore he was escorted out of the game, his team departed him with a sad goodbye. Turns out Bob's species were allergic to blueberries and Chaos had implemented blueberry extract in his drink. Chaos reveals this to Sage and they become angry at him so they tried to expose his sabotage - but Chaos said he did it for them because they were in danger of being voted out. He says that he sees great potential in them and wants to work with them towards the finale. Sage decides to keep quiet because they know that they have a target on their back in their team for being physically weak. On the other hand, Moss thanks them for sacrificing themselves for him and says that he'll return the favour one day. He starts seeing them as a true friend than a contestant.
