The morning comes once again, and the chiming of a sponsor wakes up the group of nine tributes. A gift of clean water gently floats down and lands at
Fei's feet. With that, each tribute gets their stuff together, bids each other farewell and good luck, and allows the truce comes to an end.
Ghast, Fei and
Valeraine announce that they are going to walk to the other end of the arena and back to give the rest a head start before they come to kill them.
Koishi still hadn't returned, so
Illustris, Xiao, Tem, AngelicHalo and
Aqua give up and leave without him. Just before they leave,
AngelicHalo announces that they'll be going with
Rinza instead, and the others can leave them behind.
Illustris respects their wishes and they part ways. The first thing
Rinza and
AngelicHalo do is split up to gather resources. On their trek,
Aqua spots some smoke in the distance, but the group discourages him from investigating it. The smoke is coming from a fire which belongs to
Aaliyah and
Spectre. They traveled to higher ground in the early dawn and have spent all morning fishing and cooking their catch. Back at
Illustris' group, they hear the chime of a sponsor echoing through the trees. They soon realise that this is not an echo, but two sponsor gifts heading directly for them. One lands at
Tem's feet containing a hand grenade, the other is caught mid air by
Xiao, containing a flask of fresh water.
Meanwhile,
Valeraine's group makes it to the edge of the arena by late afternoon. They stop for a moment to hunt a deer and gather some other food before building a fire to cook it. They make a lot of noise trying to catch the deer, but manage to succeed. The sound rings out through the surrounding trees, catching the attention of
Ghrian, who separated from
Konongur earlier that day. while
Valeraine and
Fei get to lighting the fire and setting up a spit,
Ghast lays out the assortment of berries, leaves and roots he had gathered for them. They call
Ghast over for some assistance, and
Ghrian runs in and steals the vegetables before fleeing.
Ghast notices too late to catch him, and the group has to make do sharing a single deer. Everyone is annoyed about this. Meanwhile,
Koishi has recovered from his meltdown and returns to the group, only to find they have left without him. He panics and walks in a random direction in a vain attempt to find someone. He eventually bumps into
Konongur who is having his own meltdown and begs
Koishi to kill him. Having learned from his own weirdly spiritual meltdown,
Koishi is able to calm down
Konongur by talking some sense into him and revitalising his will to live.
Konongur is thankful but a little confused when he remembers the point of the Hunger Games. Oh well. Elsewhere,
Reverio and
Triez are gathering food and other resources while
Luther continues to hang out with them, waiting for one of them to step on his landmines. Unfortunately they never do, but what does happen is that
Reverio gets ambushed by
Illustris, Xiao, Tem and
Aqua. They don't yet know that
Triez and
Luther are just over a rise from them, and so
Illustris strangles
Reverio to death while the others watch and laugh.
Reverio can't put up enough of a fight because he's too small.
Triez is utterly horrified but can't dive in to save her friend because that is a death sentence, and she's paralysed in shock. Once she finally gets a hold of herself again, she turns to beg
Luther to save him, but instead watches in disgust as he steals all the materials they gathered and runs for the hills.
Triez is left all alone, unable to make a single sound or else
Reverio's killers would find her. All she can do is hide and wait, while she silently balls her eyes out.
Meanwhile,
Savannah, Leviathan, Cierra and
Teisel are also out and about hunting for tributes separately from one another.
Cierra stumbles across an eerily quiet clearing with some very suspicious and obviously disturbed leaves sitting at the lowest point. She cautiously approaches to investigate and pokes the patch with a branch. The leaves immediately give way and fall into a pit of spikes made from sharpened sticks.
Cierra smugly steps away, proud of herself for not falling for such a stupid trap. She turns around to leave but bumps into
Hikoboshi who promptly throws her in to her death. He was extra agitated at
Cierra for calling his trap "stupid".
