So we just had a unanimous vote on a divided tribe, but David thinks the game ceased to be Millennials vs Gen X after the swap. Zeke is pretty shocked that the Gen X'ers took out one of their own, but obviously is not complaining.

Jay and Will hunt for the idol on Ikabula, and when Jay finds the tribe logo on a log, he smashes it open to release it. The two of them agree to keep it between themselves...until Michaela walks by just at the wrong time, and ends up having to be included as well. Awkward. Don't worry guys, you can trust her with this secret...at least for now.

Arriving at the next challenge, Figgy is pretty open that she's glad Michelle survived. Great, telegraph your alliance, why don't you? The challenge is for a caller to direct their tribemates to puzzle pieces and then solve the puzzle whilst still blindfolded. Jay, Figgy and Michelle take the caller roles. Michelle proves to be a bad pick when she can't control David, needing Chris to direct him for her. Sunday and Ken both pick up battle wounds, but Hannah seems to be struggling as well on the sidelines. Takali get their puzzle pieces first, with Ken solving it. Zeke is solving for Vanua, and Michaela for Ikabula. Despite Takali's huge headstart, Vanua and Ikabula are both able to overtake them and win. But before they can call it a day, medical has to take a look at Hannah, and determine she just got too excited and is OK.
Vanua discuss Figgy's reaction at the challenge, with Zeke taking it as a sign that he's on the bottom of the Millennials and that he needs to take out Michelle. Hannah recovers from her panic attack, and talks about needing to stay strong. Figgy decides to tell both Jessica and Ken that she has a thing with Taylor, but they just laugh because it's obvious. Yeah, I think we've learned by now that Figgy does not do subtlety well.

| The least necessary confession ever |

| Full tilt |
The immunity challenge is for two tribe members to swim down and grab bags, then open them to find three balls, which the other two will put through a table maze. Ken starts off poorly (for once) and takes a hard fall dropping off the stand that contains the bags. David does OK at the swimming section, but has to go twice whilst Ken carries all three in one go. Taylor then stays ahead of Bret and Chris, before handing over to the girls. Michaela yells at Hannah whilst doing the maze, but it proves to be effective. Ikabula win the challenge under Michaela's guidance, and then Michaela starts helping Michelle and Zeke. Figgy and Jessica lose a couple of balls going too fast, but it comes down to close race for the last ball. Zeke and Michelle get it, as Takali blow a huge lead again.
As the swing vote between two pairs, Adam feels in a no-win situation since somebody will be mad at him no matter what. Figgy and Taylor want him to vote out Ken, but Ken makes his pitch that he'll still be on the bottom if he stays with them. The question for Adam is: can he really trust people he barely knows?

| Looks who's third wheel |
At tribal council, Taylor is pretty adamant the Millennials are sticking together, with Figgy saying Adam's past vote for her is water under the bridge. Adam makes it clear that Figgy is obviously a lot closer to Taylor than him though. Probst almost seems ready to marry the young lovers, who take offence to him implying they're not as strategic as the other pair. Taylor issues a threat to Adam that he or the other Millennials will take him out if he screws them over. Adam says he hopes the remainder of the tribe can move forward as a 4, and that he genuinely likes the person he's voting out. Figgy seems a little worried when she hears that.
The votes are in, and it's between Figgy and Ken. When the last vote for Figgy is revealed, she starts crying and tells Taylor to win the game. So, Adam has broken up the showmance...but whilst that might win him some new friends, it might also alienate old ones - leaving the game very uncertain.
STAR OF THE WEEK: MICHAELA BRADSHAW
As Bret said in the episode, there's nothing she can't do. Michaela not only won her tribe immunity, she helped win it for the other tribe too. She also showed she's focused on the big picture and is sitting on a critical piece of information, knowing about Ikabula's idol.
