It seems that after days of strategizing and making deals, Max's plan may backfire. Annie shares with Keetin that Max promised the Purple Team a spot in the Final 2. When Keetin reveals Max made the same deal with the Green Team, both girls seem to be suspicious of the Brown Team.

Later in the Temple Mission, the Orange Team, Michelle and Tyler, surprise everyone by winning their first mission. With the Samadhi in the their hands, the Orange Team readies to make some deals. That evening, at the rock, Tyler asks J.D. if he can remove the Samadhi from the game, instead of giving it to a competitor. J.D. removes the Samadhi from the game, creating a level playing field for the next day's Temple Mission.
