For their next challenge, Jeff revealed video greetings from videos sent by the survivor's loved ones, leaving the castaways in tears.

After Jeff jokingly begged to get easy on his Visa card, The two immediately boarded the airplane as the four other castaways went back to camp.

Upon reaching the hotel, Tom expressed his delight after seeing a bed and a toilet after a month. While enjoying the reward, tho agreed to not divulge too much on how their reward went to their tribemates. Back at camp, the girls killed time by creating a deck of cards. At night while Lex and Tom are eating a heavy meal, the other four survivors have no choice but to eat their usual corn mush for dinner.

Despite being happy when Tom and Lex returned, a distraught Ethan felt threatened that the two's full bellies will energize them for the upcoming Immunity Challenge. Teresa on the other hand became nervous about her and Kim P.'s fate, since they are the only two remaining members of the original Samburu tribe.

At the Immunity Challenge, Kim J. accidentally broke her own, while Tom was unstoppable after hitting several of her tribemates' pots. After a close a close match between Kim and Tom, Kim J. hit Tom's second pot, but Tom hit the latter's last pot, earning him immunity.

Back at camp, tribal lines were now questioned and an idea of a gender-based vote was considered. Meanwhile, Lex felt concerned about Teresa, stating the the woman has "fire in her belly." "There's nothing more dangerous than a desperate animal," he added. Teresa on the other hand was trying to persuade Kim J. to vote challenge threat Lex out. Despite taking him after the last Reward Challenge, Tom still felt bitter of Lex for trying to save Brandon six days ago. "I'm still irritated with Lex," Tom said.
