Patient Zero

This is the second episode of Wafflefreak's sixth season, Survivor: Anambas - The Butterfly Effect.

Admiral Tribe
The episode opens with a shot of the moon prominently shining among hundreds of stars. A few scattered clouds float overhead as the seven remaining castaways walk into camp, coming from the beach.

Sierra, who's still got her torch in her hand, walks into the focus of the scene.

Sierra: (Throws head back) Ugh, that was rough.

She, along with the rest of her tribe, place their unlit torches against the side of their rickety shelter. As she walks Colton over to the shelter and helps him lay down, Jessica checks in on him, asking how he's doing.

Colton (Groaning): My stomach's just churning.

Jessica (Concerned): Do you think you're going to be sick again?

Colton (Whiny): (Nodding) Yeah.

Trying to comfort him, Jessica rubs his back, all while looking up to Norman, Courtney, and Phobos who all stand nearby watching; all of which look worried about him and what it means for their tribe.

Covered in a cold sweat and shivering, it's clear that whatever it is that's hit Colton, it's striking fast and strong, much like it did to Brittany. Courtney looks to Phobos and leans in to him, covering her hand over her mouth.

Courtney (Whispering/Subtitles): Should he even be here like this?

She leans out, only to see a wide eyed Phobos staring back at her. She shrugs, gesturing 'I don't know'. Jessica reaches into Colton's bag and pulls out his water canteen, unscrews it, then hands it to him. Thirsty, it's quickly gulped away. However, it doesn't take long before it comes back up. The sounds are enough to make Courtney's skin crawl, causing her to scurry away.

Over in the nearby jungle, Jay and Sierra are mid conversation, catching up with one another in the differences tonight in their votes.

Jay (Quietly): What happened tonight?

Sierra (Quietly): What do you mean, -the voting out come?

Jay (Quietly): Yes! I thought we were all unanimous on Brittany. I'm not mad, I'm just curious as to what happened.

As he says this, Sierra snaps a twig from a low branch and begins to fiddle with it anxiously. Courtney then comes around the corner of some trees, walking up and joining them.

Courtney: Hey, (places hands on hips) ...Colton just got sick again.

Jay drops his shoulders, groaning.

Jay: Again?

She nods, 'unfortunately'.

Sierra (Quietly): (Pointing to Jay) He wants to know who voted who.

Courtney (Unsure/Quietly): I assumed that it was you who voted for Norman.

Sierra (Quietly): Oh, I did, I couldn't vote for a friend... but mine and Brittany's only explain two.

Jay (Quietly): I'd like to know who was the third.

Courtney (Quietly): I was the third.

Jay & Sierra: You were the third?

Explaining her reasoning, Courtney hopes that Jay, who she can tell isn't impressed, keeps an open mind. The camera hones right in onto his face while listening.

Back at camp the humming of a motor can be heard before the castaways notice the 'Survivor' Medical Team's boat pulling up close to shore. They hop out and are greeted by Norman, who walks down to the beach, and escorts them back into camp and over to the shelter where Colton awaits. By now Courtney, Jay, and Sierra have returned from their chat and everyone huddles around as the assessment takes place.
