Kauai
The scene opens to the sun rising over the Kauai beach as the castaways wake up. As some birds fly up the beach the camera zooms into the shelter to Ali, Carl, Kathy and Joe.

Kathy: We should've voted out Jacob last night, I'm telling you.

No one responds too Kathy's whining as they don't want to cause a scene.

Kathy: He's gonna flip on us as soon as a merge comes.

Joe: I think I can keep him solid, don't stress about it.

Kathy (raising an eyebrow): You think isn't good enough.

Joe (somewhat stern): I'm sure. I'll go talk to him.

Ali nods as Kathy shakes her head in disagreement as Joe walks off.

Kathy (once Joe's out of earshot): You guys really think we can trust him?

Carl (nodding): Yeah, he's good.

Kathy (doubtful): Alright then...

The scene cuts to Jacob and Joe talking by the well.

Jacob: So can you please tell me why we didn't vote Carl?

Joe (takes a breath before going into an explanation): I haven't worked with Didi before and the way she acted around camp just scared me if there is a merge coming up. Her social game wasn't her strong point and she has a habit of talking before she thinks about what to say. I just didn't feel good about having her as an ally.

Jacob: I trusted her a hell of a lot more than Kathy, Ali and Carl though.

Joe: But they trust me and if they trust me, they'll trust you. If we'd voted Carl last night there'd be no trust in the tribe and we need about as much trust as we can get right now.

Jacob sucks in his bottom lip, breathes heavily from his nose and shakes his head, unable to think of a response.

Jacob: I just don't know what we're going to do if we get to another tribal where it's just us five, they easily outnumber us!

Joe gives a little smile before he reaches into his pocket.

Joe (grinning): I don't know about that.

Jacob's eyes and mouth begin to widen with anticipation as Joe pulls out a small package and unravels it to reveal the hidden immunity idol.

Joe: We got protection...

Jacob has no response but simply stares at the idol in awe.

Joe: If it comes down to it, this idol is for both of us and we can play it when we need it. Do you trust me?

Jacob (nodding): I don't even know how to thank you for sharing this.

Joe (shrugs): No need, just trust me.

Jacob nods with his eyes still wide and mouth still ajar.

Joe heads back the direction he came from, presumably to re-bury his idol as Jacob continues to lean on the well smiling.

Joe grins to himself as he walks before the camera changes to an aerial view of the Kahoolawe camp.

Kahoolawe
Derek can be seen walking up the beach and then looking around to see if anyone can see him. He kneels down and starts digging in the sand.

Derek can be seen grinning to himself as he stuffs trail mix down his throat. He soon finishes and re-buries the jar. As he does Cindy can be seen walking by in the forest. She notices Derek is burying something and hides out of site.

Cindy (whispering to herself): What is he doing?

Derek finishes kicking sand over the jar and then looks around once more before leaving. Cindy watches to make sure he's gone and then walks over to the area he was just at.

Cindy (to herself): Time to find out what you were up to Derek.

She begins to dig and pulls out Derek's jar, gasping.

Cindy: Found it!

The scene cuts to Marcus and Cindy walking up the beach with Cindy explaining the situation.

Cindy: So I found Derek's stash.

Marcus: The jar of trail mix?

Cindy nods and continues to walk.

Cindy: I'll show you where it is.

Marcus nods and the two continue walking. The scene cuts too a short while later where Cindy is unburying the jar. She takes it out and then sits it down.

Cindy: This is it.

Marcus nods and mouths a 'wow'.
