Detective Dean Kowalski is on the case of trying to figure out who put out the hit on Chelsea. After interrogating Elaine, Karishma, Aaron and Elizabeth, he finally finds the culprit: Missy. Missy tries to explain herself but Dean isn't receptive, so now she's just annoyed because she fought to save him.
Jeff brings the tribes together and tells them to drop their buffs, and Elaine is already scared. She gets an alright draw though: new Vokai is a 4-4 split: Tommy, Dan, Jason and Lauren vs Elaine, Elizabeth, Missy and Aaron. Tom, Dean and Karishma remain on Lairo against a Vokai majority of Jamal, Jack, Janet, Noura and Kellee. Oh man, Missy is very lucky to have avoided being with the people she burned.

The reward challenge begins immediately and it is for...Applebee's. Tribe members have to crawl in the sand in pairs with their hands tied, and the last two have to solve a puzzle. Dan/Elizabeth manage to beat Tom/Janet, as do their 2nd pair, Tommy and Missy. Jason and Aaron do the puzzle, whilst Lairo's final pair, Karishma and Noura, move through the sand. Karishma gets stuck like a beached whale and has to be dragged by Noura. They eventually finish, and Jamal and Kellee can start the puzzle, but Vokai are too far ahead and win reward.
Vokai sit down for Applebee's as Tommy gives them the required promo. Missy seems happy to be on a winning tribe for once, but both Elaine and Jason know that they have to stay strong with their side.

| You got a friend in Dean |
Karishma wastes zero time throwing Tom and Dean under the bus once they get to camp, whereas Tom is talking about how weak she is. Dean and Kellee realize they have a mutual friend in Dean's ex, and he also reveals how he got blindsided at the last vote. Kellee isn't sure which one to go with now, since all three seem like good options. Karishma opens up about her arranged marriage to the rest of the tribe.
Elaine and Missy wrestle, much to the entertainment of the Vokais. Aaron talks about his son, who he has on his socks, and tries to form an alliance with Tommy...though neither are willing to give up anybody in their group. Aaron tells Missy that they have to leave Lairo behind, which Missy agrees with.

| Elizabeth right at home |
The immunity challenge is to jump off a ladder, dive down and release buoys, then carry them across a beam. Vokai get to their buoys first, and Dan and Elizabeth transfer them over the beam very quickly. Lairo get held up by Karishma (who talks back to Jeff when he calls her slow) and then take longer on the transfer. Miss starts shooting and scores. Tommy gets Vokai's second as Dean scores twice to tie it up. Coming down to the last basket, it is Tommy that gives Vokai the win.

| Squeezing for intel |
Dean is annoyed he couldn't use his basketball skills to clinch the win, but assumes that Karishma will be the one to go since she's the weakest link. Janet has connected well with Tom, but worries he would go back to his old allies in a merge. Kellee wonders if Dean is too dangerous to take to the merge, and says she doesn't want to be the next Chelsea. The majority debate who to vote out. Noura of course doesn't have a vote after failing her mission, but luckily they still have the numbers without her.
At tribal council, Tom says he hasn't found a crack in the majority, as both Rob and Sandra watching on say they can relate. Noura randomly bursts out laughing at one point, and makes a not so subtle allusion to Tom being old (as well as Dean being good at puzzles, which is just not true). Janet tells Dean he didn't form a relationship with her, as Rob watches him floundering. He recovers when he points out that he was not in power on the old tribe. Karishma says she doesn't know who flipped the last vote, which Tom calls out as a lie.
The votes are in, and although Tom and Dean voted for Karishma, everybody else voted for Tom. I'm not that surprised, Karishma being willing to flip does make her valuable. But will the tribe be too weighed down by her to ever win again? We'll see.
STAR OF THE WEEK: KELLEE KIM
Kellee is sitting in a great spot after the swap, with a majority, a new connection and didn't even need to use her idol. Anyone who gets the Sandra seal of approval has to be pretty great!
