It's after midnight, and very clearly,

- When we look closer at it,

there's a drawing of, like, four figures,

and we realize, maybe what we have to do

is replicate the drawing on the idol.

It says, "The sorceress has used the final gem

"to summon a devourer to aid in her end game.

"To retrieve the gem,

"you must venture into the Dark Dimension

"Only the twin idols of the cursed god allow passage.

and we need to go to the Dark Dimension?

- And call hell?

- Do you think it's the demon that we left in the house?

- Or is something gonna come out of it?

- What is that?

- Ew, what is that?

- Ew!

Okay, this is definitely a demon face,

and that looks real slimy and gross.

- Oh, my God, yes it is.

There is this huge head in the ground,

bigger than my whole body, and there's his mouth,

wide open, waiting for one of us to dig in.

- You want me to?

- Yeah, go for it. I'm all about you doing it.

- Look in there and see-- - What if it closes?

- Really look-- - It's not gonna close on you?

- Andrea. - I'll do it.

- The tongue, grab the tongue.

- Ew! - Oh!

- Ew, ew. Oh, whatever this is is so gross.

- Oh, my God! - [screams]

- What? What happened?

- No, did something grab you? - No.

- What do you feel? - No tongue.

I'm not finding any demon tongue to rip out.

Tyler decides he'll give it a try.

- It could not be deeper. Oh, my God!

- Get on in there. - Aah!

- It feels like he put half of his head in there.

He finds nothing.

- We might need someone with longer arms.

- So then Joey steps up.

- What do you think it feels like?

This is a big head. It has to be a big tongue.

- Still nothing.

- We're not gonna find this.

Try a different angle. We can't give up on this.

If we want this idol, we have to get this.

in places maybe that we haven't...

- Oh, this is something.

both: What is it? - It's wrapped up.

- Oh.

- We find out it's not a tongue.

It's a bag with the keys for the chest.

- Be ready for whatever is about to happen.

- Ready? - Yes!

- Oh, we got it. - Oh, this one's heavy.

- Is there a clue inside there? - Oh, there's a note.

There's a note. There's a note.

- Oh, it's soaked. - Here.

It says,

two must be selected by the vote of the group...

- Oh! - to enter the Dark Dimension.

Those chosen must claim a partner to help them.

- Hey!

- Jet pack girl!

- Follow me. - She's alive?

- Definitely feeling a lot of relief seeing jet pack girl,

especially because we don't have Alison to help us.

And to see a friendly face is so amazing.

They each will have a partner

and that partner is gonna try to help them win...

How about if we each put our own names in?
