The episode begins with the group settling in for the night. There's a slight shift in the atmosphere, as some contestants are starting to trust MK again, though Scary Girl remains a suspicious figure. Caleb quietly slips out of the cabin, determined to gather weapons from the toolshed.

Caleb tiptoes into the dark toolshed, grabbing whatever he can find--rusty hammers, a couple of gardening tools, and a few kitchen knives. As he turns to leave, he hears a suspicious noise behind him--a rustling sound that sends a chill down his spine. Panic sets in, and he sprints back to the cabin, clutching the makeshift weapons tightly.

The next morning, the group is gathered in the cabin. Damien and Nichelle are lecturing Caleb, their expressions a mix of concern and frustration, Nichelle speaks."Are you insane? Going to the toolshed alone with a killer on the loose? What were you thinking?"

"I thought we needed something to protect ourselves! Besides, I made it back, didn't I?" Caleb says trying to back up his actions. The rest of the group nods in agreement, appreciating Caleb's effort despite his reckless choice. The gathered weapons are hardly ideal, but they're better than nothing.

Wayne lifts up a rust-covered hammer, "Well, it's not much, but it'll do. Thanks, Caleb! Hoot hoot!" he says high-fiving Raj.

As the day wears on, Nichelle and Wayne decide to venture out for food, taking some of the weapons with them. The group gathers around, wishing them luck.

"Be careful out there you buttknuckles. Stay together!" Julia says sternly.

Raj tells them both, "And if you hear anything weird, just come back. Don't take any chances." Nichelle and Wayne nod and leave the cabin, their footsteps echoing in the quiet forest.

Confessional - Nichelle:
"I came into this season looking for a miilion bucks, and now I'm hoping to leave with a milion dollar lawsuit against crusty man McLean."

Later that afternoon, MK approaches the group, looking anxious. "I need to use the confessional."

Damien, raising an eyebrow, "At least take a weapon with you. We don't want you to be alone unarmed." MK sighs but agrees, grabbing a small kitchen knife before heading out.

Ten minutes pass, and the group starts to feel uneasy as they wait for MK to return. Suddenly, screams pierce the silence from outside, sending everyone into a panic.

"What was that?!" Bowie shouts to everyone.

Raj, glancing at the door, "Where's MK?!"

Just then, MK walks through the cabin doors, calm and seemingly unharmed. She closes the door behind her.

"Are Nichelle and Wayne back? I heard screams." MK says scanning the cabin.

A heavy silence hangs in the air as the group processes her words. "Uh... I'll take that as a no..." she says with a raised eyebrow.

Suddenly, Wayne bursts through the cabin doors, drenched in sweat and gasping for breath. His eyes are wide with fear. "Nichelle...agh.. killer... dead...!" he says stumbling over his own words.

The group stares at him in confusion, trying to piece together what he's saying.

"What happened? Where's Nichelle?" Damien asks him, confusion etched on his face. Wayne struggles to explain, his words jumbled as panic takes over. "We were looking for food... then I heard her scream! I didn't see the killer, but... she's gone!"

In the tense moment, Julia looks at MK, her voice cutting through the chaos. "MK... where's the weapon you took with you to the confessional?"

MK's expression shifts, a flicker of panic crossing her face. "I, um... I must have left it in the confessional."

The group looks at her, skepticism etched on their faces. "You went out there with a weapon, and now you're back without one? That's... suspicious." Bowie says.

"I swear, I didn't see anything! I just went in there to talk!" MK says, trying to convince the cabin.

Confessional - MK:
"Great. Just as they started trusting me again, this rots."

The atmosphere grows thick with mistrust as everyone shifts uneasily, unsure of whom to believe. "We need to figure out what happened to Nichelle, we can't let fear divide us, but we need to be careful." says Damien with his arms crossed.

"We can't afford to take any chances, not anymore." Julia says whilst narrowing her eyes at MK.

Confessional - MK:
