The three tribes are immediately thrown into a reward challenge to secure their flint, and for the first placing tribe, also basic shelter supplies. Saqa pulls out first place while Soso comes in second. At the Saqa camp, the tribe works to complete their shelter while Sadie is singled out as their "weakest" member. Meanwhile Soso tribe is quickly devided between the older plays (Angela, Ryan, and Steven), and the younger players (Luna, Brandon, and Kelly). Over at the Vaka camp, the tribe is unable to make fire without flint, but find a determination to win immunity while planning to vote out Kumail if they lose, due to him searching for idols early on.
In the immunity challenge, Saqa once again finishes in first place, while Vaka places second, also gaining immunity. Losing the challenge, So is now faced with having to vote out one of their own. The older alliance attempts to pull in Kelly due to her being the oldest of the younger alliance, but she decides the tribe's best course of action is to vote out Ryan. Noticing Kelly's strategic acumen, the older alliance decides to make an attempt to vote her out. As it seems the votes will result in a 3-3 tie, Luna and Brandon consider turning on Kelly to avoid a rockdraw, but decide to stick with the plan of voting for Ryan.
