Previously on Survivor
Probst: In this season of Survivor 20 castaways, divided by the way they live their lives, begin the fight for a million dollars, and the castaways are playing harder than ever.

A clip of the castaways clapping on their respective boats from the beginning of the game are shown.

Probst: During the first reward challenge, Carly, Hailee, Chance and Tia all received advantages in the game.

The flashback shows Tia reading the note for her half idol in the woods, and celebrating afterwords.

Probst: On the Apataki tribe, Randy had a hard time meshing in.

Randy's inappropriate comments are shown, with the other castaways making confused faces.

Probst: And alliances were forming.

The next brief shot shows Aliesha and Chance's alliance making with them, Tia and Mackay.

Probst: At Tikehau, Elliot began to play the game too hard for some people's liking.

The next scene is of Elliot's alliance making and Vance's disdain for this.

Probst: And after Elliot's strategic manipulation was exposed...

Carly and Cloe's fight is shown.

Probst: The cracks were shown, and Elliot was voted off, leaving Carly in the dark.

The scene of Elliot's torch being snuffed is shown, with Carly moping in her seat, and Elliot waving goodbye to the castaways.

Probst: 19 are left, who will be voted off tonight?

=Night 3= ''The Tikehau tribe returns to camp and sets their torches alongside the shelter. Carly is moping, and sits down next to the fire.''

Carly (sad): Wow guys, great move, didn't see that coming!

Hailee: Yeah, that sure was a crazy tribal.

Nash: Agreed.

Carly: Why Elliot, anyways? What did he do?

Leonard: Honestly, he was just playing way too hard way too fast.

Carly: How?

Leonard: Well, Emmett, Cloe and Imani caught wind of this majority alliance pretty early on, so his game was basically outed, so I'm pretty sure not many people wanted to keep him in the game.

Carly: Well, I applaud you guys for making big moves, but I think that was objectively bad for all of us.

Vance: Can we just leave it as a disagreement? I don't wanna start another argument, we've had plenty of those already.

Carly: Yeah, sure. Sorry for not voting Elliot, if I had known, I totally would've been on board.

Vance: Well, sorry for leaving out of the dark.

Imani (whispering to Cloe): Who's sorry?

Cloe (whispering to Imani): Hopefully nobody.

Carly: It's fine, thanks for keeping me at least!

Leonard: Don't worry Carly, we wouldn't have taken you out.

After a few more words shared, Carly leaves a confessional on the scenario. After the conversation, Hailee, Leonard, Nash and Kenna meet up to discuss the previous boot.

Leonard: Well, that one was a doozy.

Hailee: At least we're all in the game.

Leonard: And now we decide whether to take out the easy target or take out one of the girls.

Kenna: Cloe and Imani?

Leonard: Yeah, that's who I'm talkin' about. I love 'em and all, but I wouldn't mind voting them out.

Nash: Agreed, honestly. I value us more than I do to everyone not in this group, so who really cares what happens?

Kenna: That's true, I guess. I just wanna get Carly out as soon as possible, because she's probably gonna do a lot of scrambling now that her #1 ally is out of this game, and I don't wanna deal with scramblers right now.

Leonard: Well, if we keep Cloe and Imani, they're gonna have a lot of drama, and I don't wanna deal with that either, so it doesn't really matter what our next move is to me, as long as we don't turn on each other.

Hailee: Let's not try to stress what we do days from now, let's just celebrate the victory that we just got!

Nash: That was actually one of the must magnificent blindsides I've seen in a long time, man. Elliot really had it coming for him, he screwed himself over!

As the group of 4 that just pulled off a blindside laughs and talks about Elliot's vote off, Carly lurks behind them, eavesdropping on their conversation.

Hailee: I would totally feel bad, but he really had it coming for him, y'know? It's just-

Hailee notices Carly's presence.

Hailee: Oh, hey there, Carly! Didn't see you there.

Carly: Sorry if I was a bit creep there but hey!

Nash: Hey there, Carly! What's up?

Carly: Oh, nothin'. I just wanted to say that I'm sorry for any conflicts I caused, and I'm sorry for not voting Elliot, I just had no idea that was the plan, really. I hope you guys can, you know, take me under your wings, because right now I'm hopeless.

Hailee: We were actually wanting to work with you to try to take out those two girls, they really just stir up so much unneeded drama around here.

Carly: Well, obviously, I would totally be on board with that!

Leonard: So, is it a plan?

Hailee: Seems to be one!

Carly waves goodbye to them, leaving just the group of four to discuss the encounter they just had.

Hailee: So, there's that. (laughs)

Nash: I don't know man, I think she's just saving her own ass.

Leonard: She's obviously doing this for self-benefit, but at least that means she doesn't really have an option other than sticking with us.

Nash: Yeah, but right when there's a swap or a merge, she knows she has a much better chance in this game if she flips on us.

Kenna: We could worry about a swap later, I just think right now we stick with Carly, she seems solid.

Nash: I don't care, as long as we're all united, I'm happy with whatever we decide on.

After this group returns to where the fire is to tend to it, Nash gives his thoughts on the incident. After this confessional, Carly is shown walking up to Imani, Vance and Cloe to discuss the results of tribal.

Imani (whispering): Oh, look who decided to show up.

Carly: Hey guys!

Vance: Hey, Carly. What's up?

Carly: I just came to say that I'm totally sorry to you, Cloe, for writing your name down, and I wanted you to know I'm not at all opposed to working with y'all.

Imani: Oh, don't stress over it, you're fine in our eyes.

Cloe, unbeknownst to Carly, rolls her eyes at this, knowing Imani is lying.

Carly: Really?

Vance: Yeah! It's just a game, after all. (shrugs) You kept with Elliot, and to me, that makes you loyal.

Cloe and Imani both give exaggerated nods to convince Carly that they agree with Vance even though all three are lying.

Cloe: (very forced) I'm just happy to still be here. No bad blood!

Carly: (smiles) I'm happy to hear that! I'm glad we can all move forward as a tribe. (smiles) Well, goodnight, guys!

As Carly turns around, Imani rolls her eyes.

Imani: Goodnight!

Once Carly is out of earshot, Imani shakes her head.

Imani: More like good riddance. (laughs)

Cloe: I'm so happy about tonight. Elliot is gone and Carly humiliated herself by not voting with everybody else.

Vance: She's trying so hard to be nice to everyone, but it's so obvious she's about to pop a blood vessel. She is pissed.

Cloe: I don't blame her! But I also don't care.

Vance: Hopefully, we can all stick together and get rid of her next. She's lucky Elliot was the target, to be honest.

Imani: You can say that again!

As the three allies continue to banter and celebrate the survival of Cloe, the scene cuts to Cloe's confessional.

After Cloe's confessional, the scene focuses on her laughing with Imani and Vance before the scene fades to black and the season's intro plays.

=Day 4=

Apataki Tribe
''The scene opens with the tribe huddled up by the fire, with the rain puring down and thunder heard. Aliesha and Chance are shown trying to keep each other warm, and Tia is seen shivering in the freezing rain.''

JP: I did not sign up for this to be huddled up in this shelter, that's for sure!

Darnell: This is insane, man. The rain is horrible.

''The tribe enters silence, with everyone focused on keeping themselves dry and warm. However, in the distance, Mackay is seen gathering up firewood, trying to make sure the fire can stay alive.  The tribe watches on as Mackay aggressively gathers firewood.''

Darnell: What's up with Mackay? Does she have a problem?

Erinn: I have no idea, she seems really upset today.

The camera cuts to Mackay slamming firewood into the pile.

Darnell: I feel like she's throwing some sort of temper tantrum.

Erinn: What does she have to be mad about?

Darnell: I have no idea, but that's Mackay for ya.

JP: You could say that again! (chuckles)

Aliesha: Do you guys want me to check on her and, you know, make sure she isn't upset about anything?

Chance: I wouldn't personally risk the chance of getting chewed out by Mackay, but you do as you please.

Aliesha: I just wanna see where her head's at, let me head out there.

Chance: Just make sure not to piss her off!

Aliesha: Oh, I won't.

''Aliesha begins her trek to Mackay, who sees Aliesha walking over and grumbles. In the shelter, Tia laughs at the contrast between the two moods.''

Tia: Mackay's gonna tear her apart.

Chance: At least she can't say I didn't try to warn her!

As Aliesha happily makes her walk to Mackay, the audio is replaced with Aliesha's confessional.
