Wrath or Patience? (Part 2)

This is the second of the two-hour premiere episode of Wafflefreak's seventh season, Survivor: Darién Gap - Seven Sins.

Yaviza Tribe
The scene opens with an aerial shot and menacing music, showcasing the bright, vibrant jungle, and many brown rivers running through the terrains around like veins, high above a few stray clouds. The screen shows us a feature of the ground, near the exit of the trail into the trees. 11 pairs of feet carefully maneuver their way of the roots of a large, thick tree, as they stick out of the ground obstructing the path. As they make their way through the final stretch of the trail, Matt says that he wishes they could've gotten the win today for Corinne, as it's her birthday. Many agree, as does Corinne, laughing it off as it's the only thing she can do. The Yaviza tribe, plus Nick, arrive back at camp, at the bottom of the trickling waterfall and next to the waterhole. As soon as he sees their location, his eyes light up as a grin swipes across the bottom of his face.

Nick (Surprised): Are you guys kidding with me right now?! This is where you live, this is what it looks like?!

Having not expected that sort of reaction, Danielle scoff-giggles, looking him up and down.

Danielle: What do you mean?

Nick: We're, literally, I'm not even kidding you, in the middle of a (bleep)ing ud pit. (Laughs) Swear to god, like what the (bleep)? (Laughs)

Danielle grins, pleasantly surprised. Colton then walks into view.

Colton (Curious): How's your shelter?

Nick (Enthused): Oh, that's the one thing we did well on! Sturdy as a rock!

Danielle's grin then falls away from Danielle's face.

Colton: (Smirks) And the rain?

Nick: Not a word of a lie, didn't leak one bit. We were all dry!

Colton then looks over to Danielle, who doesn't look as smug as she had moments ago.

Colton: Well, Nick, as long as you're here, make yourself at home.

Nick grins,

Nick: Will do.

Thinking about what was said, Spencer vocally recites what Jeff Probst had told them as to why Nick was joining them at evening.

Nick nods,

Nick: Beward the seven sins, mother(bleep)er.

Spencer chuckles, then continues to ponder. Olay comments that it's scary, while Phobos rebuffs that it's 'neat'.

Ebonie: Do you think you know why you're here?

Corinne walks into view of the camera as Nubia, for a rare time, turns to actually listen what it is here sister has to say, along with the answer. Colton, too, is eagerly listening.

Nick: Yeah, (nods) I think I know.

A close-up is shown of Corinne, who looks up from the shirt she's folding after having taken off. For a moment, no one says a word, as they all continue to settle into camp after an exciting morning. As Corinne puts her sweater in her bag and then her bag away, she notices Ebonie looking directly over to her, but turning her head right away as they locked eyes. Taking a breath, Corinne clenches her jaw, then speaks up.

Only, she turns to face Nick, not Ebonie.

Corinne: Okay, I just want to say, if there's something you want to say, just say it, or we can have a conversation of clarification later. I just don't want things to be implied, leaving me, and my tribe mates, guessing what they may be.

Nick nods,

Nick: Okay.

Corinne nods,

Corinne: Okay.

They both walk passed one another and continue with what they had been doing. Unable to hide her amusement, Olay has to turn away, grinning, as Nubia finds herself having to do the same.

Nick: I think you're the reason I'm here.

Stopping in here tracks, Corinne turns around to look at Nick.

Corinne: Oh, so you do have something to say?

Nick: Yeah, and I said it. There you go.

Corinne nods,

Corinne: Thank you. That's how we address things where I come from. Now, that's not to say you're right, you're wrong, but thank you for being direct.

Nick: Thank you for the opportunity.

Corinne scoffs, which Nick mocks, as they once again walk passed one another. 'Like, I honestly don't know why she's lying', Nick says, looking to Phobos, but loud enough for the tribe to overhear. 'Nick, this is all reflecting on you, not me', she huffs back, before going back to what she's doing. The other members of the Yaviza tribe stay still and silent, unsure of what to do or say, but all looking to one another in disbelief. None of them can believe that they're both fighting with an approaching tribal council, especially as soon as they've gotten back and first met one another. Ebonie in particular looks absolutely mortified.

Amongst all the commotion, Ebonie looks over to Nubia, starring until Nubia happens to look over. 'I want to talk to you today', Ebonie mouths, pointing her finger at Nubia. Nubia blinks, then looks away.

Nick: Oh, and there's more I want to say, actually.

Corinne stops in her tracks, this time not turning around, but taking a deep breath. Awkwardly, Matt scratches the back of his neck, cringing from secondhand embarrassment.

Matt (Remindingly): Dude, ...it's her birthday.

Nick: (Puts hands up defensively) I'm not being mean, I'm being honest.

Corinne then finally turns around,

Corinne: No, you're right, you're being honest about your opinion, and there's nothing wrong with that. The issue here is in your delivery, (squints) my friend.

Nick (Sarcastically): Well, I apologize, hopefully I don't continue to upset you with what I continue to say.

Uncomfortable, Brandon glances over to Colton, who looks back to him, as both are concerned.

Nick: But, I think it's time for your time to ask you some pressing questions, and listen to what you have to say, not me.

Corinne: (Inclining head) And what's that supposed to mean?

For a moment, the scene cuts back to the very amused Olay and Nubia, who still are surprised at what they're seeing and hearing. 'This is so overdramatic for day 3', Olay whispers; 'I know, damn', Nubia mumbles back.

Nick: I may have been punished...

A close-up is then shown of Corinne, who scrunches her brow, and then onto Spencer and Phobos, who both seem troubled.

Nick: But I also got a secret power, so what does that mean Corinne may have scored, along with getting to wrath somebody?

Corinne: (Shakes head) Oh, you're barking up the wrong tree, you've gotten it all twisted in your head, man. I don't have time for your conspiracy theories, go talk to Phobos.

She says, motioning off to him. 'Hey!', Phobos hollers out.

Nick: And trust me, none of you want me to have to use it tonight.

Corinne takes a sharp inhale, cocking her head, as Brandon gulps.

Corinne: I don't have a single thing, sorry bud.

The camera then cuts back to Olay again, who's unable to mute her giggle any longer, bringing some attention to herself. At this point, Olay knows she has to own it, so she does,

Olay (Laughing): Like, seriously, we're just settling back in after the challenge. This is is supposed to be the calm part of our day, it's after this that we run off and chat, remember guys? That's when things get crazy. (Awkward giggle) Right guys?

They all ignore her. Nick asks Corinne what she did in the temple, if he was incorrect that she had used her visit to spite him. Corinne stumbles on her words, saying that it gave her a voice, between a clue to an advantage, or a bigger bag of rice, and she chose the rice; the same lie she told her tribe. Phobos points over to the bag, sitting against the side of the shelter. 'False!', Nick exclaims immediately, claiming that the bag was the same size as the one over at the Turbo tribes camp. This leaves Corinne on the spot, as the heads of each of her tribe mates turn to look at her.

She does the only thing she knows to do in this moment.

Corinne: You're a liar. Unless, somehow, someone on your tribe earned it for you, you have a smaller bag, and lying about it to cause deceit.

Nick: (Sarcastically laughs) Oh my god, you truly are that big of a liar, aren't you?

Nick shakes his head, reminding her that more people will be soon going into the temple, and then everyone will see how far she's willing to go to maintain a falsehood. Corinne doesn't directly comment on his claim, but tells him that he's lying about his power, and denying that she got anything either.

Nick: (Shrugs) I guess we'll see tonight then, huh?

Nick glances over at a few tribe mates from Yaviza who stand off to the side, Phobos, Spencer, Olay, Nubia, Ebonie, and Brandon are all in his frame of sight, and they all look as though they're anxious by his bluff of having a power.

Colton then steps forward,

Colton: Well, ...(claps hands), who's hungry?

Looking confused, Nick doesn't know what's going on. The scene then hops ahead a few minutes in time, as Colton and Spencer help to hand out the meal that Ebonie spent the morning prepping. It's simple, rice, a few berries and sliced fruit, but presented beautifully on large leafs from the jungle. Everyone stands around, as they get ready to eat with one anther. Suddenly, they all start to sing happy birthday to Corinne, which a confused looking Nick half-heartedly joins in on after the first few words. In his hand is a smaller leaf, having just been randomly plucked from a tree, with a small handful of what rice could be scraped from the pot, as Ebonie hadn't been expecting him when she made the food. As they sing, Olay leans over and whispers into Nubia's ear, 'Imagine having just talked to Corinne like that, and now having to stand there and sing her happy birthday. Poor bastard.' Sitting properly on a stump, Corinne smiles around, rocking back and forth while they sing to her.

As the scene transitions, we are shown a shot of the side of a pond somewhere within the jungle, where 3 different frogs can be seen; 'Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you', can be heard, and then the camera changes to show us an excited Ebonie, walking through the jungle with Nubia. Ebonie can't get over the fact that Nubia has actually given her the time of day and they can talk, vocalizing her appreciation so much that Nubia grows agitated.

Nubia: What did you want to talk about?

Ebonie: Well, ...I mean, there's so much to talk about.

Nubia: Okay, well, are we talking personal, or are we talking game?

Ebonie: Nube, I will have whatever conversation you want to have. I just also think we need to be mindful that we only have a few hours, and if we talk game at some point, it'll give us at least another three days to talk about whatever you want, if you want.

'Uh-huh', Nubia huffs. Nubia questions Ebonie if that means she's not going to write her name down tonight. Ebonie affirms that she'd never go after Nubia for no reason, promising that as unlikely as it is to happen, she can trust her. Nubia scoffs, to which Ebonie says, 'Yeah, I saw that one coming'.

Ebonie: Seriously though, I have no reason to want to lie to you, Nubia. I've won my million, and lost you, if getting you back means losing this game, then maybe that's what I have to do.

Nubia: So there's no way in hell you're voting me out tonight?

Ebonie: Nubia, no! We're voting Nick, 100%.

Nubia: For sure it's Nick?

Ebonie: (Nods) Okay...

‘There you are!’, Olay calls out, surprising the two sisters. Confused and startled, Ebonie asks if she had been looking for them.

Olay (As if it’s obvious): Of course I have! When the Upshaw twins disappear together, I’m gonna take notice.

Ebonie looks over to Nubia, who bites her tongue, but looks bothered.

Olay: Relaaaaaax, I just wanted to talk to both of you together; good things. (Quietly:) What’s the consensus for tonight?

Ebonie (Quietly): Nick.

Olay (Quietly): You’re sure that’s what everyone’s on board for, even after he claimed to have a secret power?

Ebonie nods, brushing of Nicks claims as nothing more than an attempt to save himself, saying that she hopes no one falls for his falsehoods.

Ebonie (Quietly): I think in time it’s going to come out that Corinne’s not being completely honest, but I don’t think either of them have any sort of advantage.

Still seeming bothered, Olay fidgets with her hands, saying that she hopes that to be the case.

Olay (Quietly): There’s just a lot of votes tonight, so anything could happen.

Elaborating, Olay shares with the twins what Brandon had told her in private, that he’ll be receiving a penalty vote against himself. Astonished, Ebonie can’t believe there will be twelve votes at the first tribal, admitting that it’s worrying, and that they have to keep that information away from Nick. The whole time Nubia takes in the content of the conversation, but never directly contributes. It’s then at this point that Olay brings up the BGM alliance once more, after having pitched it to Nubia prior, hoping this to be an opportunity for an olive branch between the Upshaw’s, and that they can officiate their loyalty to one another.

Ebonie (Quietly/Surprised): Us three?

Olay (Quietly): Yeah, girl!

Unsure of how to respond, Ebonie glances to her sister, then says she’d be open to it. They both then turn to Nubia, curious about what she has to say.

Rolling her eyes with a joking grin, she lies.

Nubia: You know what? Sure, (laughs) whatever, fine.

Ecstatic, Ebonie jumps and screeches, gliding through the air and hugging her sister. Also excited, Olay then joins the hug, wrapping her arms around the twins.

As the scene changes to the next, the camera looks up to the tree tops, highlighting the beautiful jungle locale this season, and it’s trees that vary in age. Back at camp, Phobos walks over to the shelter, where Danielle, Corinne, and Spencer all sit with one another. ‘Hey’, they greet one another as he finds a spot to get comfortable. Once situated, Phobos looks over to the fire, where Nick is by his lonesome, and asks what they’re doing tonight. Spencer doesn’t know, being honest when he voices his concerns about what he had to say. This is enough to make Corinne uncomfortable, shifting around in her spot, adamantly saying that she doesn’t believe him to be truthful.

Spencer (Whispering): Id just hate to see us lose a member of our own tribe at his hands.

He says, peering over at Nick.

Corinne (Whispering): I’m telling you, he’s a liar.

Danielle (Whispering): I think Corinne’s right, I don’t trust the words of someone who has their back against the wall.

Spencer (Whispering): Is it worth risking it? If Yaviza has to lose someone tonight, I want it to be a decision that we made as a group, not a decision that someone from the other tribe made.

Corinne (Whispering): This is all he wants though, this is his only chance of staying.

Spencer sighs, saying that he knows, but that they have to consider everything.

Phobos (Whispering): I for one think we should just write down Nick’s name and cross our fingers. Who else would we even vote for otherwise?

He asks, looking around to Spence, Corinne, and Danielle, but they say nothing.

Spencer (Quietly): That’s just it man, who?

With that, Corinne scoots out of the shelter, saying that she needs to talk to Nick, walking over to the fire. As she departs, the other three watch her as Danielle subtly points in Corinne’s direction.

Danielle (Whispering): If one of us has to go, that’s who’s get my vote. I think she’s the reason for this whole mess.

Phobos (Whispering/Sympathetically): But, it’s her birthday though.

Danielle scrunches up her face,

Danielle (Quietly): So?!

The camera then shifts its focus from those in the shelter to the fire pit, as Corinne sits down next to Nick.

Corinne: If you don’t mind, I think you and I need to talk, there are some things that need to be cleared up between us.

Nick: Depends. I’m always open to discussion, but you need to be truthful with me for me to give you the time of day.

Corinne (Agitated): Yeah, but by those standards it sounds like, ‘tell me what I want to hear, or don’t say anything at all’.

Nick shrugs her snarky comment off, telling her his deductive reasoning is leading him to the only possible answer to this scenario, and that he wants her to just own it, saying that within the next two days another will enter the temple and he’ll be proven right if he’s still here.

Nick: I just want an honest conversation, and the way I see it, there’s no reason you can’t give me one, especially since I’m so certain you’re why I’m here. Wrath is a sin, you were in the Sanctuary. I can guarantee as that temple opens its door more and more, people are going to be effected just like me.

Corinne looks Nick in the eyes, telling him that he’s gotten it wrong. Nick stands up, tells her that there’s no need to keep the conversation going, and walks off.

A large, long, thick snake is shown as it slithers its way around the ground out the jungle, hissing, before cutting to focus on a group talking about the upcoming vote, standing down the river from camping; Danielle, Corinne, Matt, Colton, Phobos, and Spencer. As the sound of the rushing water fills this air, Colton quietly tells them about what Olay had said about Brandon’s penalty vote.

Corinne (intrigued): Oh, really?

Colton: (Nods) Yes. So, if we want an option other than Nick... (Shrugs). I know some people are scared of his supposed power.

The camera pans around the group, as many of the faces seem unsure of what they believe about Nick. Danielle ponders if Brandon’s the biggest threat on the tribe, Colton tells her maybe not, but he’s sketchy and not trustworthy.

Looking around to the others,

Corinne: I mean, I’d do it...

It’s then that Nubia approaches the group talking about the upcoming vote, asking if she can join. Once told she can stay, Nubia checks in with them as to the plan tonight. Although she had been told it was for sure Nick earlier, now she’s told differently, that no one is totally sure as to what to do.

Nubia: May I make a suggestion?

They’re open to ideas, so they give Nubia their attention, as she then throws her sister under the bus, saying that Ebonie should be the one to go.

Nubia: She’s a threat. She can win challenges, out think any of us, and is so (bleep)ing poised, she can look better than anyone in almost any situation, just based on her words alone. She’s won this game before, (shakes head) let’s not be stupid, there’s a reason she won before.

More worried about Nick than she’d like to admit, Corinne remains open to any other new ideas, including this one.

Corinne: ...And, I mean no offence, but there’s also the weirdness between the two of us.

Nubia: Exactly! No, you’re right, at least then the tribe will be united.

Having given them something to think about, and not wanting to get caught, Nubia departs, heading back to camp in hopes not to arise suspicion. As soon as she rounds the corner and is out of sight, Danielle points in the direction she just left, and tells her peers that Nubia’s the disruptive twin in her point of view, and that she needs to go sooner than later.

Colton (Quietly): (Shrugs) Do we really want to do that though? Individually, they’re strong and capable in challenges, but their drama is only going to hinder their games. I think it’s smart to keep that around for awhile, it’ll keep attention elsewhere, which is good (motions around) for all of us.

Danielle (Quietly): (Shaking head) I don’t think that it’s good for us at all, in fact, I think that the negative energy caused by both of them will only hurt us in the long run.

Corinne puts her hand to her forehead, then runs it down her face, exasperated, asking what it is they should do then.

Spencer: I’ve heard a handful of names thrown out, I honestly don’t know which option is right, I just know which option I’d prefer to go with.

The camera then cuts to show a clip of Nick, who walks through camp carrying the machete.

Still up to her shenanigans, Nubia deviously walks through camp, clearly up to no good, evident by the expression on her face. Noticing Nick, she Quietly waves him over to where she stands by the tree line. He nods, signalling he sees her, and walks over.

As he gets closer, it’s easy to see it’s unclear to him as to why Nubia wishes to talk.

Nick (Unsure): What’s up?

Nubia (Quietly): There’s something I want to tell you.

Nick: Okay...

She explains to him that she had just spoken to both her sister, Ebonie, and Olay, stating that they’re both pushing for him to go, regardless of Nick’s claims of having a secret power. Keeping up the act, Nick scoffs and then laughs this off, saying to Nubia that it’s their mistake of that’s the case.

She looks him head in the eyes.

Nubia (Quietly): I don’t want them to go.

He doesn’t look away as their eyes lock.

Nick: ...(nods) okay. Thank you.

Nubia (Quietly): I want my sister out, and for helping you, I want your vote against her tonight.

Nick (Quickly): Deal, done.

Wiping his hands clean, Nick says no more. ‘Perfect, thank you’, Nubia replies, as they fist bump and depart in different directions. ‘Easy, peasy’, Nubia mumbles under her breath.

The screen then focuses onto the sun, as it’s shown slowly starting to descend from high in the sky to just above the horizon. The afternoon is quickly ticking away and time is running out. Phobos and Corinne pack their belongings, as Phobos looks up to the setting sun. He questions how much time they have left, by Corinne’s best guess, it’s an hour. Laughing it off, Phobos whispers to her that he still has no idea what’s going on. Corinne shakes her head, as the worry can be heard in her tone, as she wishes a decision could soon be made. Olay comes into view, walking passed the two of them, and sitting on the edge of the shelter. Inside is Danielle, who’s already packed her things, lounging and resting before what’s undoubtably going to be a long night ahead.

Danielle groans, clearly getting dozy.

Danielle (Whispering/Curious): Girl, tell me what you’re sayin’ tonight.

She asks, nudging Olay with her foot. Olay looks over her shoulder, answering Danielle’s question.

Olay (Whispering): Nick, isn’t that what we’re all doing?

Danielle shrugs, insisting that she’s not sure that’s the plan anymore. ‘What do you mean that’s not the plan anymore?!”, Olay hisses.

Removing her glasses, Danielle rubs the bridge of her nose.

Danielle (Whispering): Look, I’m not trying to stir up trouble, I’m just saying... people have been talking.

Narrowing her eyes, Olay grows uneasy, knowing that if you haven’t heard of a change in the plans, you usually are the new plan.

Olay (Whispering): Who’s name has been thrown out?

Danielle (Whispering): I mean, there’s been multiple. Brandon’s come up, I wouldn’t mind seeing Nubia go, she’s a trouble maker, but Nubia’s trying to get people on board for voting off Ebonie.

Olay (Whispering/Confused): She what?! When was this conversation, the other day? She certainly has put me under a different impression.

‘Uhh...’, Danielle recollects, saying to Olay that it was within the last hour that Nubia vocalized this idea. ‘Wow!’, Olay spits out, shocked as it’s been since her conversation with Nubia, where she was put under the impression that Nubia was willing to swallow her feud with Ebonie, and work with the BGM deal.

Olay (Whispering/Curious): Like, for sure Nubia wants Ebonie out?

With the tone of Olay’s voice, it’s this moment when Danielle starts to get a weird vibe.

Danielle (Whispering): Yeah, but, uh, ...you didn’t hear that from me.

Wanting clarification, Olay checks that Danielle is sure that’s the time frame, to which she nods confidently. Olay turns around where she sits, looking out over camp and spotting Ebonie, using her index finger to wave her over. Seeing that she is being beckoned, Ebonie makes her way over to the shelter. Inside Danielle shifts around, uncomfortable and worried about what she may have started by opening her mouth, appearing exasperated.

Ebonie (Curious): What’s up?

Olay (Annoyed): Did you know your big mouth sister is trying to get you voted out tonight?

Taken back, Ebonie glances to Danielle, who clearly doesn’t wish to partake in the conversation, then back to Olay.

Ebonie: ...Well, that’s not too surprising.

Taking a deep breath, Ebonie places her hands upon her hips.

Ebonie (Quietly): You two got me though, right? Like, obviously I want to stay.

Olay: Oh, I want you to stay too, duh! You’re one of the best chances we have as a tribe to win challenges right now.

They both then turn to Danielle, who says she doesn’t want to give her word one way or the other yet, but that she sees why it would be beneficial to keep Ebonie in the game.

Speaking aggressively with her hands, Olay is having none of it, over Nubia's dramatics.

Olay (Quietly): You know what, chickadee? Honestly, I know it’s tough, but screw her. I say we just write her name down and send her home. Are you in?

She asks, starring down Ebonie, who hesitates to say anything, awkwardly standing before the shelter. Olay looks over her shoulder to Danielle, pressing her to go along with a plan to blindside Nubia.

Olay (Quietly): She’s a whole lot of trouble for little reward, let’s just clean ourselves of her right now. What do you say? This girl (motions to Ebonie) is 100% more reliable.

Danielle puts her hands up defensively, saying that she’s not agreeing to anything without talking to the group first. Ebonie shifts her weight to one side, asking if she’s good with Danielle, to which she repeats herself, ‘I don’t want to say anything before talking to the others.’

Sighing, Ebonie grows uncomfortable.

Ebonie (Quietly): ...So you would write my name down?

Danielle (Quietly): To put it bluntly, Ebonie, I’m going with the group tonight. I’d be stupid to do anything else the first vote.

Ebonie points out that since her name is floating around, she can’t just sit back and do that, but then Danielle then passively reminds Ebonie that her own name isn’t up for discussion, and therefore tells her that she should understand why she wants to take a backseat approach for tonight.

‘Okay’, Ebonie says passively, nodding her head, as Olay appears bothered.

Olay (Frustrated/Sarcastically): Mhm. Because the smart thing to do would be to oust our strongest female.

Unscrewing her canteen, Danielle tells Olay that if that’s how the tribe feels about Ebonie, then they likely have little to worry about, then takes a sip of water.

The scene changes as the time continues to tick by. It’s awhile later now and Danielle now stands closely to Colton in front of the shelter, discreetly discussing while the other eight castaways go about their lives around then, preparing for tribal council. Danielle asks him what their plan is, which Colton grumbles back that no one is willing to step up and make the final decision, saying that they all know better than to try and step into. Leadership roll. Sighing, Danielle asks Colton whether or not she should, as she lead camp construction, but vocalized fears of being viewed as trying to run the show.

Danielle (Softly): That screwed me last time, I don’t want to make that mistake again.

Colton (Quietly): (Sighs and shakes head) You know what? Brandon has that penalty vote... maybe... ugh, maybe we should just stack all of our votes against him tonight. It'll help us get rid of someone that you know will be trouble later.

Approaching the two, Spencer appears, as Danielle says 'maybe' beneath her breath. 'Maybe what?', Spencer questions, curious if they have come to a consensus yet. Colton mentions his thought about placing all their votes onto Brandon, which Spencer agrees with in theory, but vocalizes concerns that he could've received anything in the TreeMail, and that Olay's word isn't as convincing to him as she probably wished it was. Stumped, Colton agrees that Spencer may be on to something, which frustrates Danielle, who just wants a decision to be made, scoffing and shaking her head..

Danielle: This is almost unbelievable. How are we All-Stars, but can't figure out a simple first vote?

Spencer: ...Because we're all All-Stars.

Phobos then also walks up and joins the pow-wow, asking if it's Brandon or Ebonie that they're getting rid of tonight.

Danielle: I think Olay wants to do Nubia now.

Frustrated, Phobos huffs at the change of plans.

Phobos (Annoyed): Seriously? Fine, but can we just cool it and keep our minds made up? We're going to leave.

Worried Phobos is getting the wrong idea, Spencer shakes his head.

Spencer: She's not saying that's what we're doing, ...it's just an option.

Phobos (Curious): So what are we doing?

Spencer shrugs,

Spencer: We don't know.

Taking a deep inhale, Phobos sucks his lips into his mouth.

Having only the bag over his shoulder that he attended the challenge with, Nick doesn't need to worry about packing like the rest of the castaays, sitting off to the side as the castaways of the Yaviza tribe rush around him. Using this as a moment to be by himself and his own thoughts. Leaning back, Nick stretches out, looking up to the floating clouds above, completely glazing over. Hustling over, Olay sits down next to Nick, snapping him back into reality. She says that people have told her Nubia is trying to target Ebonie, therefore she has likely come to him. Nick nods, confirming this to be true. Looking off, Olay shakes her head, commenting under her breath that she's 'so annoyed'.

Olay (Quietly): Look, I'm gonna throw out another idea to you, okay? Here's what people are going with now, Nubia. It's Nubia tonight, she's causing trouble and a few of us want her gone. We need your vote though, kay? If not, (tilts head, then corrects) you might have a majority.

Nick (Concerned/Unsure): ...Really?

Olay (Quietly): You and I both know you've been talked about.

He nods,

Nick (Quietly): Yeah...

The camera shows a close-up of a bag as it sits on the edge of the shelter. As dramatic music begins to roll, the bag is picked up by Spencer, who leads the group, being trailed by Danielle, Ebonie, Phobos, and Matt. The screen the pulls away, revealing the rest of the Yaviza tribe to be behind them, ending with Nick from the Turbo tribe, forming a one-by-one single file line. As they depart for their very first tribal council of the evening, nobody looks at ease, all feeling the weight on each others shoulders.

A chilling rattlesnake sound effect is used as Nubia walks passed the camera, followed by Corinne, Colton, and then her twin sister, Ebonie, who sharply exhales a nervous breath. Focus then changes to an aerial shot, following the group as one by one they disappear into the trees, before pulling up and away, revealing the orange and purple skies, along with the setting sun, disappearing behind the dense jungle wilderness below.
