Kai wakes up after being drugged the previous night and transported to the base of Plummet Mountain for the second Trial. Next to him are Blair, Braxton, and Andy. The message left with them this time informs them that they are to work as a team to reach the summit of the mountain before the others. The tension between the contestants has increased since their fight the previous night, so they reluctantly start climbing the mountain. Only Andy is being friendly with Kai, whereas the others are wary of one another. They trek for a few hours before they accidentally stumble into a snake pit. Blair and Kai throw the snakes down the mountain with Blair’s Telekinesis. However, Andy is bitten by one of the snakes, and they do not know whether the creatures are venomous. Kai insists on carrying Andy on his back so that she can save her strength, and the team continues climbing.

Paedyn, who is partnered with Jax and Ace, has been climbing up the mountain for hours. She and Jax are friendly toward each other, but they are both very distrustful of Ace. When the Illusionist suddenly warns Paedyn about a snake, she steps backward and almost topples off the side of the mountain, but Jax Blinks to grab her hand and save her.
