Swap
At the beginning of the episode, the castaways were informed about another Tribe Swap. The castaways were placed into two tribes of seven using a schoolyard pick with the heroes of the last immunity challenge becoming the captains. The results of the tribe swap are as follows.

Challenges
Immunity Challenge: Reverse Touchy Subjects. Each tribe was responsible for labeling the other tribe and then guessing the labels the other tribe placed on their tribe. The tribe with the most points at the end of the challenge won immunity and a clue to the hidden immunity idol.

Winner:.

Kidnapping & Menengai
The winning tribe had their votes tallied. The castaway receiving the majority of votes would join their camp, skipping tribal council in the process, and would be responsible for selecting three members of their tribe for a rock draw. The castaway drawing the black rock would then face off against the kidnapped in a duel across the Menengai Crater.

Menengai
As a result of winning the duel, Trent chose Predator Item #1 and earned a Strike Knife that would allow him to anonymously stab a castaway with no strikes to give them a strike in an attempt to medically evacuate them.

- Roses are red, violets are blue. My heart is dead, I'm such a fool.

"kikuyu"

- I love love love you but this is the best move for my game try now. You betrayed my trust and exposed the alliance WE MADE to Cali. You aren't as reliable as an ally as I thought you would be which is why I'm hopefully sending you home with this vote!

Final Words
"kikuyu"

- I love yall! This is definitely the nicest cast and i can't wait to continue some of these friendships after the seasons. Even though I went early I'm happy with the way I played maybe I'm too kind but that's genuinely me so I'm not changing that. It was pleasure!

Episode Summary
After tribal council, both tribes attended the next immunity challenge to discover another tribe swap. As the representatives for the previous immunity challenge, Chris and Gerda were selected as the new tribe captains for Torrobo and Kikuyu respectively. New Torrobo now consisted of (in order of selection) Chris, Evan, Ashlee, Jino, Natalia, Cali, and Jack while New Kikuyu now consisted of Gerda, Nora, Will, Nicole, Natalie, Trent, and Alex.

At Kikuyu camp, the previous Torrobo majority of Nora, Will, Nicole, and Natalie pulled in Gerda to form a faction intended to control the tribe. This positioned Trent and Alex on the outs of the tribe and the former, unsettled by his spot in the minority, attempted to latch onto Nicole by depicting the Predators as enthralled with tribal lines but only ostracized her and the majority by appearing overly conniving and duplicitous. However, a beacon of hope shone for the Prey minority when Nora discovered the Save Us alliance on Torrobo may have been leaked to the CCBD faction by a source from within.

Meanwhile at Torrobo, the tribe reached a consensus that the dynamic from the previous swap had remained the same, which relegated Chris and Jack to the bottom of the tribe with the CCBD faction retaining control due to the original Prey tribe having the numbers. However, the Predators noted the ongoing divide between Jack and Jino could be an opportunity to flip one of them on their original tribe and retain control. While Chris contemplated doing this for the upcoming kidnapping vote, Evan felt it was best to placate the Prey and avoid ostracizing them to retain a perception that this new tribe could be strong going into a prospective merge.

At the immunity challenge, the two tribes discovered they would be playing Reverse Touchy Subjects, wherein they had to label the other tribe and guess the labels placed upon their tribe. Torrobo emerged the victors and Gerda, Will, Natalia, and Chris were identified as the common threats while Jack, Trent, Alex, and Natalie all received negative feedback to some extent. At the end of the day, the Predators fell subservient to the Prey and voted to kidnap Trent, saving him from an objective demise. Trent then selected Ashlee, Jino, and Natalia for the Menengai. Ashlee drew the black rock, but passed out drunk during the actual race, defaulting the win and an infamous strike knife to Trent.

Following the immunity loss, the majority on Kikuyu contemplated their options. While Gerda was set on retaining the status quo, Nora informed Will and Nicole in a new alliance chat that Natalie had leaked the Save Us alliance to Cali, who then told Trent, who then told Alex, which explained how the tribe dynamic was common knowledge. As a result, while Alex pleaded for his life in the game, the new faction considered the possibility of roping him in as a prospective number and cutting Natalie off for her perceived erratic gameplay during the last round’s kidnapping.

Back at Torrobo, Natalia, feeling unhinged by the label of a threat, contemplated bridging the gap between Predator and Prey and cementing her relationship with Chris and Evan to protect them in the next phase of the game. The schoolyard pick order created a common consensus that Nicole, Will, Gerda, and Natalie would be a tight faction moving into the next phase of the game and thus, CCBD would need to pull Evan and Chris in to retain power come the merge. As a result, the majority faction set their sights on Jack in the event that they lose the next immunity challenge.

With tribal council looming, Nora, Will, and Nicole decided to flip to Alex and against Natalie. Meanwhile, Natalie, feeling that Alex could be roped in as an isolated number for her game, decided to instead shift a target to Gerda and communicated this to the remainder of the tribe. Nicole contemplated this due to a lack of strategic connection between herself and Gerda, but ultimately decided it was not in her best interest due to how capricious Natalie’s gameplay had been since the swap. As a result, they relayed the attempt to Gerda, who then joined Nicole, Will, Nora, and Alex in voting Natalie off 5-1, with the latter casting her sole vote for Gerda.
