Previously On Survivor...
Previously on Survivor... Jim found an idol 'This idol... this is for my family', and he joined Brandon to become one of the only two in the game with the power of the hidden immunity idol. However the rest of the old Malcapuya tribe was falling apart 'You know what, it's not Malcapuya versus Busuanga. We're at the f**king merge, I'm ready to vote her out.' Meanwhile, George made a deal with Eric 'I'd love to play with you moving forward' and continued his upward trajectory by winning immunity, 'George wins immunity!'. Before tribal council, Busuanga seemed to have all the power 'So who are we thinking for tonight?' 'What about Eric?' 'I'd be down with that.' However, Eric's strong social game quickly became a problem as it forced Tabby and George to put Brandon on the chopping block, 'I've always known that I'd have to make a move against Brandon eventually'. At tribal council, Brandon scrambled to make sure it wasn't him, (with idol around Brandon's neck) 'I found this guy a bit before the merge and, all I want you guys to know is, you better watch out tonight because I sure as hell aren't going home.' Eric called his bluff, 'there's still a chance that he ain't gonna play it' and he was right. However, George and Tabby stuck with Brandon and Eric became the seventh person voted out and the first member of the jury, 'Eric... the tribe has spoken.' Eight are left... who will be voted out tonight?

Night 24
The episode opens to the castaways coming back from tribal council and placing their torches down.

Chase: Holy crap that was intense.

Ruth: Crazy... crazy tribal council.

Brandon: Yeah, sorry I had to spring my idol on you guys like that.

Jim: No don't worry, it's great to know about.

A few castaways laugh and Brandon nods with an understanding smile.

Sherri (scowling): You didn't play it though. We really could have used that vote, you're lucky.

All of the tribe members are silent as the atmosphere becomes awkward.

Tabby: ...I know what you're getting at Sherri but-

Sherri (interrupting): Shut the hell up! What don't you understand about this f**king game!? You have an opportunity to take out a threat so grow some balls and do it! You f**king moron!

Jim (interrupting): Woah, woah, Sherri, stop!

Jim takes Sherri out of the scene and Tabby walks over to the beach to sit down. The other tribe members stare at the fire, unsure of what to do with themselves.

Tabby is sitting on the beach with her head buried in between her knees, crying.

George approaches and sits down next to her, putting a comforting arm around her shoulders.

George (softly): It's ok, we made the right decision.

Tabby (weakly): I know... I just don't want to be yelled at for it.

George: I know... but it's ok, sooner than later, Sherri is gonna be having her torched snuffed.

Tabby smiles a little and nods.

Tabby: Thank you...

Tabby and George hug and then George stands up.

George: You'll be alright, we have the power to vote her out now. Are you coming back to the shelter?

Tabby: I think I might stay here for a little bit.

George walks off and Tabby stares out into the black distance.

Day 25
The night turns slowly to day and Tabby is once again sitting on the beach, this time next to Jim.

Jim: I'm really sorry that Sherri was so horrible to you last night.

Tabby: That's ok. I've had time to get over it but I think there'll always be some bad blood between us.

Jim: You might say it's ok but I'm still sorry on her behalf. No one should ever be able to act like that.

Tabby: Thank you.

The two continue to talk on the beach as the camera zooms out.
