| - The episode begins with the contestants thinking about the upcoming Temple Mission. Jonathan thinks it's important to win because if they don't, they could be sent to Temple. Daniela hopes (and thinks) it could be a puzzle, but Erika thinks it's a race. However, she doesn't want to be messed up physically because of Franke. The contestants then go to the challenge, where J.D observes how all the contestants were in a much better mood than they were in the previous evening. He singles out Jeszie, who he mentions that she wasn't the type to become emotional in front of a group of people. He then resumes to the competiton, where he mentions that everyone has become more competitive, and this mission was important, because the winner would guarentee themselves a spot in the final three. J.D. goes on to informing them about the mission, where they have to assemble a cube out of 6 pieces. Since Red got the Samadhi, they have to wait a minute to start. The mission starts, and everyone seems to be on the same level, until Purple finishes it in less than a minute, surprising everyone, especially Red, who didn't get the chance to enter the game. After the mission, the other contestants were still shocked on how Purple was able to finish the mission so fast, while Franke mourns over his defeat. Jonathan states that the game should take at least 3-5 minutes, but they were able to do it in 51 seconds. Amelia knew it wasn't going to be a minute when she first saw the mission, and says it wasn't good. Franke thought that the sixty-second handicap wasn't going to hurt them, but they weren't able to compete. Daniela mentions on how good it feels to make it to the final three. Jonathan cites he was initially happy when he won the mission, but mentions about the hard decision to send two teams to Temple. However, that how it was better than losing. Meanwhile, at the cabins, Franke sadly realizes that he might be going to Temple that night. Shea mentions that at least Red has won something, because Blue hasn't won anything, save for the Superteam challenge. Franke and everyone else knows who will be sent up to Temple that night, but Jonathan still has to make up his mind. Jonathan comfirms his decision to send Red and Blue to Temple to Daniela, but she disagrees and suggests Green should go up with Red, because they were the strongest team, and they've only been their friends. Jonathan, however, thinks it makes sense because they want Blue gone. Sometime later, the teams gather, and J.D. comments that Purple has annihlated the competition that day by completing the challenge in 51 seconds. He points out they've been living in the Tehachapi Mountains for weeks, and points out some deer walking in the background. However, he mentions that in a moment of such beauty, powerful and important decisions must be made, then turns it over to Purple. Jonathan speaks about being close to everyone, and says that Green Team will not be going to Temple, thus Red and Blue are going. Franke and Shea saw it coming, and Jonathan says that everyone had an awesome run. Meanwhile, Amelia was packing, and cites she will miss the friends the most if she leaves, and mentions some things that she has learned from them. Later that evening, the Red and Blue Teams go up to Temple, knowing that only one of them will come back and make it to the final three. Once the two teams make it up to Temple, J.D. greets them, and says that they have made it very far in the game, and starts the game. In the first round, Blue picks fire while Red picks water, giving Red the first round. In the next round, however, the situation reverses, so the game is tied up. Before the final round, Franke and Shea wish the best of luck to each other. The elements are revealed: Red picks fire while Blue picks wood. Since fire burns the wood, Red will be returning to the cabins, and will make it to the final three. J.D. mentions that Blue was the first team, and it was because they spoke up. Franke takes off his hat for the fallen Blue Team, who became the 4th team to be eliminated. The episode ends with Red victoriously returning from Temple, and everyone celebrating, especially Jeszie when she finds out that Erika has come back.
