[bunniefuu]

-[soft chiming]
-[clock strikes]

[metal clanking]

[faint whirring]

[foreboding music playing]

[metal clinking]

[ethereal music playing]

[Willy Wonka over PA] Jackson, Hunter,

only one key card remains

now that Gabrielle and Ziad are both safe.

Oh! Oh! [blowing kisses]

Which one of you will be able to stack
six of my Gobstoppers

to get the final key card?

And which one will have
their tour terminated?

[tense music playing]

[music intensifies]

[Gobstoppers clatter]

[deep descending boom]

-Oh, I hear something.
-[Kellye] Yes.

Those things fall superfast.

[clock ticking]

[Hunter] There's no time to waste.
I need to get it back up as quick as I can

because I already know
Jackson is so close to winning this.

[tense music playing]

I'm a builder.

I'm doing everything I know
to get that golden key card.

Obviously a way they go together.
I just can't figure it out.

Come on.

[somber music playing]

[dramatic sting]

[Jackson] This is tough.

Hunter's my boy,
and we're both trying to win.

Hunter and I don't have partners.

[mutters] This doesn't make any sense.

So this is our final chance
to stay in the game.

[dramatic music playing]

[music swells, fades]

[exhales deeply]

[sharp chime]

[soft dramatic sting]

[stifles a sob]

Go, bro. Press the button.

[Jackson sobbing softly]

[machine starts]

[machine hums and whirs]

[machine thuds and hisses]

[somber music plays]

[announcer] Gobstopper packaging complete.

[Hunter] Good job, bro.

[announcer] Jackson, please collect
the room's final key card.

[Jackson sobbing]

[somber music continues]

Proud of you, bro. You got it.

I know I gave it 100%.
I gave it all I had.

So it was a feeling of disappointment,
but also, like, I'm proud of Jackson.

I know we will be friends for life.

[softly] I know, bro.

-Go win. You hear me?
-[Jackson sobs softly]

You got it.

-[Jackson exhales]
-Go.

[Jackson sniffling]

[Jackson sobbing softly]

[tearfully] I love you, bro.

Get 'em, bro.

[doors creak and rumble open]

[Austin] Oh, Jackson, dude.

[Kellye] Oh!

-[Sasha] You've been amazing.
-[Gabrielle] Hunter!

-Hunter…
-[Ziad] Hunter.

-[Ava] We love you, Hunter.
-[Ziad] Love you, Hunter.

-[Austin] Love you, Hunter.
-[doors creaking]

[Willy Wonka] Hunter,
my Gobstoppers are everlasting.

Your game is not.

[alarm blaring]

You are terminated from the tour.

[dramatic sting]

[systems powering down]

-[Jackson sobbing]
-[Tatum speaking indistinctly]

[Jackson] This is crazy.

I'm just really happy to be here.

Wonka is turning things up
in this Wonkavator.

I just know there's more,
so it's only gonna get harder.

Anything can happen at any point.

More people are gonna go.
Pairs will be broken.

It's just going to be a bloodbath.

[tense music playing]

[dramatic sting]

[horn blaring]

[WIlly Wonka] Gabrielle, Ziad,
and Jackson.

Bravo. Each of you have a golden key card.

Gabrielle, as you were the first back
from the stacking room,

you've earned the power to select
the next five players to compete

in the crushing room.

-[Everett gasps]
-[Tatum] Crushing room.

[Willy Wonka] Only three will return.

-Oh my God.
-[Kellye] Oh…

So, Gabrielle,
will you choose friend or foe?

[tense music playing]

[Gabrielle] Having the power of choosing
is daunting.

All of my relationships and the decisions
that I make determine my future.

But this factory is a huge social game,

so I don't wanna put too much of a target
or pressure on my back at this point.

Okay. Is anyone feeling confident?

-Sure, yes. I wanna go. I wanna go.
-Just go.

-[Jeff] Yeah.
-Why not?

[Jeff] Yeah. You get up there.

[Bryce] Might as well take the risk.

[ominous music playing]

[Gabrielle] Okay.

Crushing, they said?

Oh God. Crushing with them? No.

[Jeff] Yeah, but it may not be
everything you think it is.

Yes, I'm positive.
Yes, I believe in myself.

But I saw who was up to step up
to the plate for that challenge.

So gotta keep waiting patiently.

And I'm hoping that when I have to play,

there's only going to be weak people
to compete with.

-[Jackson] That's four. There's one more.
-Yeah. There's one more spot.

[dramatic music playing]

[music builds]

[Jeff] I'll crush.

Ava was stressing out, so I stepped up.

My goal is to do anything I can

to help Ava choose a game
she feels confident to play.

-[Jackson exhales deeply]
-Okay.

So, Jeff, Kellye,
Austin, Bryce, and Garrison.

-[Bryce] There you go.
-Go.

[female announcer] Now off we go.

[loud rumbling]

[bell dings]

[gears grinding and shifting]

[doors rumbling open]

-[Garrison] All right.
-[Bryce] All right.

[Garrison] I am ready
for whatever the factory throws at me.

My mom leaving has woken the beast in me.

I'm gonna be playing it for her.

[Ava] You got this.

-[Jackson] Good luck!
-[Jeff] What is this?

[Garrison] There's no way I leave
without that three million dollars.

I need that key card.

[Jeff] Oh boy.

[music cuts out]

[switches clack in quick succession]

[alarm blaring]

[Willy Wonka] Welcome to
the crushing room.

This is one
you can really sink your teeth into.

[static crackles on TV]

[jaunty music playing]

[faint whirring]

[female announcer] We have a surplus
of rock candy that needs to be crushed

with Wonka's brand-new invention,
the Chomper.

[loud crushing]

Break the rock candy down,

then deposit the crushed candy
into another guest's cylinder

to save them.

You may fill anyone's cylinder

except your own.

The first three guests

to have their cylinder filled
with 10 mouthfuls of crushed candy,

that's equivalent to 10 pounds,

are safe and will collect
their gold key cards.

The last two guests will be terminated.

[static crackling]

Okay, this is not what I expected.

-Yeah.
-[Jeff] Yeah.

That is hard.

[Bryce] This is definitely
harder than it looks.

You can't fill your own cylinder.

You have to save
another individual in that room…

-Let's do it.
-…competing against you.

-[Austin] All right, guys.
-[Kellye] All right, let's do it.

[Bryce] It's a test of our alliances
and, you know, who's loyal and who's not.

It's intimidating as hell,

but I'm gonna be as even as I can.

[tense music playing]

-You wanna knock it out?
-Yeah.

If I do Bryce, you do mine.

Bryce will do you.

Okay. Copy.

Garrison, Bryce, and I,

we're gonna try and be the three

to come out of here.

And I'm hoping to come out first

because the last three left
are gonna have a really hard choice here.

[female announcer] Prepare to begin…

[dramatic sting]

…in three,

two,

one,

go.

[candies clacking]

[dramatic music playing]

[candies crunching]

[rapid thuds]

[dramatic music intensifies]

[music continues]

[Austin] Bryce.

[crushed candies rattling]

-[Kellye grunts]
-[Garrison] Here you go, Austin.

[Kellye] I am a little worried.

Garrison, Bryce, and Austin.

These young guys are in cahoots…

[Austin] Good work, everybody.

[Kellye] …leaving Jeff and I
to work alone.

But you know what?

I am still gonna give it everything.

[dramatic sting]

I came on this adventure
to go as far as I can

with my daughter, Tatum.

My mom's out there.

[Everett] I'm sure she's k*lling it.

[Kellye] So I figure my best strategy
is for me to help Garrison.

His mom was terminated yesterday,

so maybe he'll understand
how I'm feeling right now.

And I'm hoping that he'll have my back.

[Garrison] Coming to you, Kellye.

Here you go, Kellye.

[Kellye] Thank you, Garrison.

Obviously, Bryce, Austin, and I
are working together,

but I'm truly grateful for Kellye now.

So I got her.

-Here you go.
-[Kellye] Ah, thank you.

[Austin] Yeah, so Kellye and Garrison
are really throwing a wrench in the plan.

[Kellye] Here, Garrison.

So it's looking like
Garrison's gonna finish first.

Regardless, I'm still gonna crush
as fast as I can and get Bryce home.

And that leaves Kellye, myself, and Jeff.

It's gonna come down to a stalemate.

All right, Jeff.

So I decided to help Jeff

in case we can work together.

It's like when I've helped his daughter
in the Free Bees Challenge.

[female announcer] Ava's pump activated.

[Jeff] Austin.

[tense music continues]

[scale dings]

-[announcer] Candy cylinder filled.
-[Garrison] I'm done.

Garrison, please collect your key card
and return to the Wonkavator.

-[soft chime]
-[announcer] Two gold key cards remaining.

-[Garrison] All right.
-[Bryce] What was that?

-[Austin] There you go.
-Oh!

[female announcer] Candy cylinder filled.

Bryce, please collect your key card.

[doors rumble open]

[Ziad] Bryce!

[Sasha] Oh!

Oh no.

No.

[Tatum] When I see Garrison and Bryce,

my heart sinks.

And I can only hope my mom is gonna
come out of this thing alive.

[announcer] One gold key card remaining.

[Kellye groans]

[Jeff] Kellye.

[Austin] All right, Jeff. You need more.

[tense music continues]

[Jeff] Austin…

[Austin breathing heavily] Yeah.

[Kellye] Oh, you've got to be kidding.
We're coming to this.

[Jeff pants]

[Austin] The numbers are so close,

but only one of us
is walking out of this room.

Any one of us can dump our bucket
into any of the other spots

and it can just end this right now.

[Kellye] Okay, let's just decide
who goes home.

[soft sting]

[Jeff] We all have enough to put somebody
over the top, it looks like.

-[Austin] Yeah.
-[Kellye] Oh yeah.

You can tell we all love being here…

-Yeah.
-…and no one wants to vacate.

I'm not as outgoing as Tatum,
but I'm not ready to give up the fight.

I like having someone our age
in this competition.

It's awesome.

I like having
the same amount of girls as guys.

I'm stuck. I'm absolutely stuck.

[exhales deeply]

[Jeff] Ultimately, I know
this experience in this factory

is all about my daughter.

If there's a chance that I'm going
to make a decision to sacrifice myself

where she might get something out of it,

I would do that every single time.

[dramatic sting]

Kellye, I have all the respect for you,

but we're at a stalemate,

and I don't know
what's going to happen to Ava.

[ominous music playing]

[clock ticking]

Jeff, you've been fighting like a dog
for your daughter.

Nothing but respect.

Everything that I can do
I will do to keep Ava in this factory.

I will make her safe.

[music intensifies, stops]

[Jeff] Austin.

-Do me another solid with her?
-Of course. Of course.

[Jeff] You know what?
I'm gonna take a risk.

Goodbye, guys.

[Jeff grunts]

[candies rattle]

-[soft ding]
-[announcer] Candy cylinder filled.

I appreciate you, Jeff.

[Kellye chuckles] I don't… I…

That hurt.

[female announcer] Austin,
please collect the room's final key card.

[Jeff] Kellye's gonna hate me,

but because Ava and I do have
a great experience with Austin and Ziad,

I know they will have Ava's back.

-Congratulations.
-Jeff, it's been a pleasure.

[Jeff] Watch out for her.

[back being patted and thumped]

It's the closest call that I've had here,

and I'm so…

-[chimes softly]
-…so, so happy

to still be in this thing.

[dramatic music playing]

[doors rumble open]

-Let's go.
-[Ava] Love you, Dad. Don't worry.

You don't have to worry about me.
I love you. I had so much fun with you!

[somber music playing]

[Kellye] I feel like
Jeff has been targeting me

since Bubble Jeopardy!

I'm gonna go with Kellye.

[Kellye] I really am crushed.

I hope I did not let my daughter down.

But, you know, she's got this.

[tense music playing]

[Willy Wonka] Kellye and Jeff,

sorry to crush your dreams…

[exhales deeply]

…but your tours have been terminated.

[dramatic sting]

-[Austin sighs]
-[Bryce] That was nuts.

-Glad you're here.
-I know.

[Bryce chuckling]

[Ziad] Good job, baby.

-[Ziad] Way to take care of everybody.
-[indistinct chatter]

Ava, I told your dad
I'm gonna take care of you.

So I'm gonna take care of you.

-Thank you.
-[Austin] All right?

I need a little victory.

-He made the choice to keep me in this.
-Yeah.

-I knew he was gonna do that.
-[Austin] It was his choice.

[Ava] It is what it is.

I'm very accepting
of whatever happens in here.

And, yeah, you know, I respect you a lot.

[Ziad] Austin's a sweetheart.

I love it about him.

You know, he wanted to be noble.

But Jeff and Ava
continuously putting the responsibility

of their survival in this tour

in the hands of other people,

it's greedy.

[Ava] Do you think he had fun?

He had a lot of fun.

I do think she is incredibly spoiled.

-[Ava] Yeah.
-Both. You have great parents.

[chuckles] Yeah, we do.

[Tatum] We do.

[Ziad] She is really conditioned
to getting what she wants.

It just didn't sit right with me.

None of it.

[Willy Wonka] Garrison,

you returned first from the crushing room,

so now you call the shots.

Select three guests
to enter the feeding room.

Wow.

But here's the bit that's hard to swallow.

There are only two key cards.

Three people go in. Two people come back.

[Willy Wonka] Garrison,
which three will it be? You tell me.

Well, this sucks
that I'm in this position.

I have a couple people to choose from.

I have Tatum, Taylor, Sasha,
Ava, and Everett.

Obviously, my number one
will have to be Tatum.

Mm-hmm.

Her mom just saved me,

so I'm gonna do my absolute best
to give Tatum a chance to save herself.

Uh, my number two?

Sasha.

So the third one's really up for grabs.

And is there any way
you guys can help me figure it out?

I'm counting in my head
the number of spots that are left,

and it's just better if I wait.

It's like a little less competition.

Yeah. I mean, I've been fighting
by myself for a while,

and I think I've grown a lot
in my time here,

and all I can do now is move forward.

I definitely wanna compete.

There's no clue what's going to happen
if you aren't selected.

So I wanna make sure
that I can control my situation

and get that gold card.

All right. It's gonna be Tatum,

Everett, and Sasha.

[female announcer]
Proceeding to the feeding room.

[gears grinding and shifting]

-Thank you. Okay.
-[Garrison] Go get it.

[loud rumbling]

[announcer] You have arrived
at the feeding room.

-[bell dings]
-[Tatum] Okay.

[Everett] No matter what happens,
y'all are amazing.

-[Bryce] Good luck, y'all.
-[Gabrielle] Go, Sash.

[scattered applause]

[eerie chuckling]

[faint whirring]

[Tatum] Oh wow.

[switches click on]

-[Sasha exclaims]
-Whoa.

[Everett] We're throwing stuff
into that mouth.

-Oh my gosh.
-[Everett chuckles] Oh my God.

[faint rumbling]

[jaunty music plays]

Whatever happens, just fight for it, okay?

[faint whirring on TV]

[announcer] The three of you
will be playing

Mr. Wonka's favorite carnival game,

Feed the Oompa.

A true test of precision.

Playing in rounds,

you will take turns throwing gumballs
into the mouth of the Oompa-Loompa statue.

[gumball emits a high-pitched whistle]

[gumball rattles]

The first two players to get a gumball
into the Oompa's mouth

win a gold key card.

[gumball whistling]

The one who doesn't…

-[alarm blares]
-…will be terminated.

[Tatum] Okay, it's as simple as that.

[static crackling]

-Is anyone good at this?
-No.

Me neither.

I did play basketball about ten years ago.

[all chuckling]

[Everett] I'm gonna be so bad at this.

You will all be given an equal amount
of throws to hit the target.

That's a… that's a big mouth.

[Everett chuckles softly]

[announcer] Sasha, you are up first.

[Sasha exhales] Okay.

[clock strikes]

[faint whirring]

-[Everett] Oh, it's fast.
-[Sasha] Okay, it goes fast.

I think I'm doing upper hand throw.

I feel confident that I can throw.

Wow, the head's going fast.

Gab has a gold card,
so it's my turn to get a gold card.

But I'm trying not to let the nerves
get to me too much.

And I'll just conquer.

[dramatic music playing]

Hopefully.

[whirring continues]

-[all exclaim]
-[Everett] Just a little higher.

-[Sasha] Yeah. Okay, come on, Everett.
-Okay.

[whimsical music playing]

[exhales softly] Do I do underhand
or overhand?

I don't throw anything.

I think I'll try an under.

I've seen people do what, that… that.

Whatever that thing… I don't know.

-Nope.
-[alarm blares]

[all laughing]

[Tatum exhales deeply]

[Tatum] I feel

really sad to have lost my mom.

But I'm ready to fight.

I'm ready to compete
for my spot in this game.

And I start to think
about the timing of it

because the timing is key.

[whirring continues]

[mutters] Please, God, don't get it.

[Tatum] I have a background in basketball,
volleyball, softball.

And so my throwing capabilities
are really good.

[tense music playing]

[Everett joyfully] There she goes!

[female announcer] Tatum,
please collect your key card.

-Yep. I'm proud of you.
-[Tatum] Keep fighting. You've got this.

I am so relieved…

[soft whooshing]

…to know that things in my life
have prepared me for this moment.

I'm just so proud of myself,

and I know that I'm making my mom proud.

-[doors rumble open]
-[Jackson] All right!

[Garrison] Go, Tatum!

What was the game?

Okay, so the laughing Oompa-Loompa
from our room?

-[Garrison] Mm-hmm.
-[Tatum] It's out there…

with its mouth open.

And we have, like, gumballs,

and we have to try
to throw it in its mouth.

[Sasha] Aw!

[Gabrielle] You got it, Sasha!

[statue whirring]

-[alarm blares]
-[Everett] Oh!

[announcer] One gold key card remaining.

[Everett sighs]
I definitely waited for the wrong game.

Maybe I would have been better
at crushing stuff.

Okay.

I'm really bad at sports of any sort.

Particularly anything with a ball.

But I know my neck is on the line here.

Nope, that was way off.

[alarm blares]

-[Sasha] Aw!
-[Everett] Oh my gosh!

You got the next one.

[exhales deeply]

[Sasha] I am so frustrated.

-[Everett] Nope.
-That was close.

[Everett] No. No, it wasn't.

Everett keeps missing the Oompa-Loompa,
and I keep getting it so close.

[whirring continues]

[alarm blares]

-[Everett] Oh my gosh.
-Oh my gosh.

It literally touched it
and it came right out.

-[Everett] That was so close.
-Oh my gosh.

[Gabrielle] Stay calm, Sash!

Use those circus… circus skills!

[Sasha] I haven't.

[Everett laughing]

[exhales sharply]

-She was doing good.
-[Gabrielle] Yeah.

She was doing good.

Everett was throwing
way over the Oompa-Loompa.

-Are you doing upper hand or lower?
-[Everett] I'm gonna do an underhand.

[quirky music playing]

[Everett] Nope. Okay.

It's so ridiculous how…

[Sasha groans]

[Everett] …many…

-[alarm blares]
-[Sasha groans]

…of these ba*ls we've thrown.

[Sasha] Oh, that was close.

[Everett] And neither of us
has been able to get it into the mouth.

-[Sasha] We're getting so close.
-Yeah.

[ba*ls whooshing past]

[Sasha] Dang it!

I'm pretty sure we're gonna be here
overnight at this point.

[generic hold music playing]

-[alarm blares faintly]
-[Sasha] Oh my gosh!

[Gabrielle] Small adjustments, Sasha!

[statue whirring]

[tense music playing]

[Sasha] I'm trying to keep my vibes
high as possible.

But I need to lock in.

I am just so close.

I got this.

[softly] Okay, if it's twisting.

I'm gonna go over. I've never thrown
an overhand ball in my life.

[Sasha chuckling]

I'm not throwing the ball anywhere near
where it's supposed to be.

So, I changed to an overhand throw.

I know that's what Tatum did.

So, who knows?

Maybe I have a shot.

[dramatic music playing]

[Gabrielle] Come on, Sasha.
Come on, Sasha.

[music intensifies]

[dramatic sting]

[rapid ticking]

[statue creaks and whirs]

[air whooshing]

[gumball rattles]

[whirring slows to a stop]

[Sasha gasps]

[Everett] Oh my God.
I really didn't expect that.

[Sasha breathing shakily]

[Everett] I'm so sorry.

[Everett breathes shakily]

[softly] That sucks.

-[Everett sniffling]
-That sucks.

[female announcer] Everett,
please collect the room's final key card.

-Okay.
-[exhales softly]

Tell Gab she's gonna win.

[Everett sniffling]

[Sasha] I feel so disappointed to lose

to such a simple thing.

[chimes softly]

[Everett sniffling]

Just poof.

And I don't even get to say goodbye.

[inhales sharply]

[exhales deeply]

[doors rumble open]

[Everett sobbing]

[tearfully] I love you, Sash!

-[Everett] I'm sorry.
-[Taylor] I'm really sorry, Gab.

[Gabrielle] Sasha is the epitome
of a perfect person.

A perfect best friend,
a perfect family member.

She's the strongest person I know.

[clicks tongue]

And now I have to bring it home,
not just for myself but for her.

-[Bryce] You gotta stay strong.
-[sobbing]

[Bryce] Keep playing the game, all right?

Sasha wants you to finish this up strong.

[Willy Wonka] Sasha,
you missed your shot to remain on the tour

and have been terminated.

[Sasha sniffling]

[systems powering down]

Guests, I have some good news
and bad news.

The good news is, everyone with a key card

will be exiting my Wonkavator
at the next stop.

The bad news is,
Ava and Taylor do not have key cards.

Whoa.

[Willy Wonka] However, all is not lost.

Why, that's right.
I happen to have a spare.

[suspenseful music playing]

Gabrielle, Garrison, and Tatum.

You each conquered your floors first.

Now the three of you must decide
who gets the final key card,

Ava or Taylor.

The one without a key card
will have their tour terminated.

[dramatic sting]

This is not an easy choice.

This is not easy.

I don't think any of us anticipated
how many people would go home today.

We lost our people.

You lost yours.

[Garrison] It's so tough to choose
the fate of Ava and Taylor.

[Garrison sighs]

Wonka, why?

But I have questions for Ava.

I just don't understand
what you said to Kayla at Lickety Split

that was so compelling
to what my mom had said to her.

[whispering] You and I really bonded

'cause, like, we're strong-minded.

Let another strong-minded young woman
take over. Run your legacy.

She's fighting for her mother, who's ill.

-I have… I had no idea.
-We need 24-7, like, care.

-[Ava] I'm sorry.
-She wants to retire.

I literally love and adore your mom.

I have no idea what Kayla, like,
was thinking at any time.

Like, I… I don't know why she picked me.

I'm grateful that happened that way,
and I'm still here.

What I said to her was, like,

I literally just explained
how I wanna continue her legacy.

Right, no, but, like, it just doesn't…

It's not clicking to me.

[tense music playing]

[rapid ticking]

-[Ava] Like, what?
-It's just not making sense.

[Ava] I feel like that's so unfair.

I feel like I've been so transparent
and honest.

I don't trust a word
that is coming out of her mouth.

[music surges]

Ava cares about herself and herself only.

So to help Garrison, Gabby, and Tatum,

I figured I'd share a few words.

Ava, your dad said something
in front of all of us yesterday.

He said, "My daughter knows
to say whatever you need to say

in any situation."

It would seem that Ava just promised Kayla

that she's gonna take care
of some business for her.

-So, you're… you're her dad.
-She's fighting…

-I know you want--
-She's fighting for her life,

but she's not team Kayla
by any imagination.

I don't think any of us believe
that Kayla was going to choose you

over what his mom was saying.

-Unless you were implying something.
-[Ava] She did.

I never said anything dishonest,
swear to God.

[music continues]

My dad is an amazing person,
and he raised me--

I agree that Jeff is an amazing person.

But your dad admitted yesterday
what your integrity encapsulates is

that you're the most important thing
under any certain situation.

Garrison just expressed to you
why he feels the way he feels.

And you are being very resistant to…

You're being resistant to his truth.

I'm not being resistant.
I'm explaining myself.

Like, I can't get anything right.
I don't know why you're doing this.

I would never do this to you.

I don't even know
what you're saying, Ziad.

It's just not as black-and-white
as we're making it black-and-white.

[Austin] I wish Ziad did not jump in here.

I just told Jeff
I'm gonna take care of his daughter.

My partner is coming at his daughter.

He doesn't even have voting power.

I don't know.

I think it's not a good look
for Ziad and I.

All I'm gonna say is I'm not gonna fight
and argue whether I should be here or not,

but I've been nothing but honest.

I'm a team player,

and, like, I just say usually what's up.

Like…

[Willy Wonka] Garrison, Gabrielle,
and Tatum.

It's time to decide who will get
the last remaining key card

and remain on the tour.

Ava or Taylor.

My vote is Taylor.
I'm just gonna leave it like that.

[Taylor] Thank you.

[Gabrielle] Um…

This is a huge decision.

I'm looking at two
incredibly strong women,

but Ava's game is in the crossfire.

Whereas Taylor is flying under the radar.

And at this point in the competition,

I have to align with the right person.

I respect both of y'all's gameplay.

I respect both of you as people
and who you are.

I'm gonna go with my gut.

And I'm gonna go with…

I'm gonna go with Taylor.

I'm sorry, Ava.
It's nothing personal against you.

-No. It's all good.
-I've gotten closer with her.

Yeah. That's it.

Taylor…

-Thank you.
-…I choose you.

Thank you.

Thank you, guys.

[Taylor sniffling]

[announcer]
Returning to the chocolate room.

[loud clanking and rumbling]

-[Garrison] Here we go.
-[Austin] There it is.

[dramatic music playing]

[bell dings]

[doors rumble open]

Oh…

[announcer] To disembark the Wonkavator,
tap your gold key card

and exit through the turnstile now.

-[scanner beeps]
-[turnstile unlocks]

If you do not have one, you may not leave.

[exhales deeply]

[Ava] I'm feeling let down.

I'm feeling really disappointed.

[Garrison] Ava, no hard feelings.

[Ava] Maybe if I did a challenge earlier,

that whole thing
could have played out really differently.

I am so sad to go out like this.

[somber music playing]

[Willy Wonka] Ava, this is your last stop.

Oh my God.

Your tour has been terminated.

[doors creaking]

[doors slam]

-[Ziad] What a day.
-[Bryce] Good job.

[Everett] It's a miracle
that I'm still here.

[systems powering down]

[crickets chirping]

[Everett] I feel like
I'm the welcome committee

for the singles club.

[Everett chuckling]

That was legit a slaughterhouse.
I keep saying that, but…

Yeah, but it actually was.
It was a bloodbath.

Yeah.

The challenge today was so crazy.

And now there are nine of us left.

Two pairs in here.

Bryce and Taylor.

And Austin and Ziad.

And the rest of us are here
without our partners.

It feels…

Yeah, the energy has just totally shifted.

But it's… it's nice that you guys
are kind of like my core.

Right? Obviously…

I wanna go to the end with my core.

[chuckles] You know?

That's who I wanna go to the end with.

-There you go. That's all it is.
-Oh yeah.

Um, and I've talked about this too.

-Like, I love Bryce and Taylor.
-Mmm.

But I don't really know
what they're thinking.

-[Garrison] I know.
-They seem close with Austin and Z.

I think the two pairs
are not gonna take each other out.

-Yeah.
-100%.

[Everett] So I hope
we can just split up the duos

because they're looking
really, really strong right now.

And if you remove one of the partners,

it sort of evens the playing field
for those of us who are here by ourselves.

[soft sting]

You gotta think about the game, baby.
You gotta think about long-term.

Like, gotta play well.

This is the point
where it's just play well.

It's crazy.

I thought I was going home today.

Like, I did not think I'd be here.

And it's even greater
that I still have Bryce with me.

So we're gonna do as much as we can
to keep each other in this game.

All right, but we should try and keep
the groups together as long as possible.

-It's gonna be hard to take any of us out.
-[Austin] Mm-hmm. Yeah.

But I feel like our best chance
is knocking out all the singles.

[Austin] Yeah. Yeah, yeah.

[suspenseful music playing]

[Everett] I think the four of us are…

-Right? I don't know what you think, but--
-No, like, if… [sighs]

I don't know what Gab would do.

Like, she's so close with them.

[Everett] She's… she's mentioned to me
being upset with Austin and Z.

[Tatum] But, yeah, if she's still
upset with them, then… I mean--

It's probably helpful.

'Cause I think, if anything,
she's the swing.

She is the swing, yeah.

[music continues]

[Everett] Most singles seem to be on board
with taking out the pairs.

But we need to make sure
that Gabrielle is happy to work with us.

If you had to make a tough decision today,
you know what you're doing?

[Gabrielle] No.

What do you wanna do?

[Everett] I was just trying to have
some convos,

and I feel like there's some thoughts…

[Gabrielle] Mm-hmm.

[Everett] …around the pairs
being very strong.

[Gabrielle] Yeah, yeah, yeah. Like, yeah.

[Everett] I think that's… Yeah.

[Gabrielle] I think that's pretty much
the consensus.

[Everett] Okay.

It feels like we're on the same page.

And being a solo player,
now that there are more of us,

we're actually the majority here,
and it's feeling a lot better.

[dramatic sting]

Word on the chocolate path is that
people are trying to break the pairs up.

And obviously, now that Sasha's gone,

I'm a single in this factory.

[Gabrielle chuckles]

-Hey, guys.
-[Taylor] Hey!

-[Bryce] Hey, girl, hey.
-[Gabrielle] What's up?

-Doing my nails.
-Doing my nails, period.

[Gabrielle] However,
I'm really close to Taylor and Bryce.

But at the same time,
I don't trust Austin and Z at all.

[dramatic music playing]

They're playing sneaky.

And they betrayed me
during the Free Bee test.

[Gabrielle] Come on, Z!

[announcer] Taylor's pump activated.

What?

[Sasha] He didn't pick yours.

[tense music playing]

[Gabrielle] So there is a lot
to think about.

This is the point of the game
where it gets serious.

[whimsical music playing]

Everybody is fending for themselves,
and there's nobody to rely on.

My partner's not in the game anymore.

I don't have anybody to consult with
but my brain.

So, me and her are trying to figure out
what's best for my future.

[whimsical music continues]

[lever cranking]

[systems powering down]

[suspenseful music playing]

[factory ambience]

[siren wailing]

[machine rattling and rumbling]

[alarm blaring]

[steam hissing]

[dramatic music playing]

[rattling]

[siren wailing]

-[steam hissing]
-[horn blaring]

[music stops]

[loud snoring]

[alarm blaring]

[Jackson] Oh sh**t!

[female announcer] Attention. Attention.

Sorting machine malfunctioning.

[alarm continues blaring]

Candy levels critical.

Please report to the sorting room
immediately.

[Taylor] I just thought I was in
a nightmare.

-[Tatum] Go, go, go!
-[Ziad] This is crazy.

[Gabrielle] Attend to the what?

-[Everett] The sorting machine?
-[Tatum] I don't know what's happening.

What kind of emergency
could you have in a chocolate factory?

[alarm blaring]

[announcer] Proceed to the sorting room
immediately.

[Gabrielle] The sorting room.

[Jackson] Oh boy. I don't like this.

This factory

doesn't just produce chocolate and candy.

I think it produces stress as well.

[horn blares]

[dramatic music playing]

[Garrison] Oh… Oh, what the hell?

-[Everett] What is this?
-[Austin] What's going on?

This looks insane.

[horn blares]

[Everett] What are these tubes?

I see these giant tubes.

This giant conveyor belt.

And it looks like
that episode of I Love Lucy

when they're grabbing all the chocolates.

[alarm continues blaring]

[system powering down]

[Willy Wonka] Guests,
my sorting machine has gone gloriously,

catastrophically wrong.

But where others see misfortune,
I see delicious opportunity.

Because what better way
to test your teamwork?

-[Garrison] Working together?
-[Gabrielle] Whoa.

[Willy Wonka] First, choose a chocolate.

-[Ziad] Oh.
-[Bryce] Is that here?

Then take a bite.

The color inside will determine your team.

Which side will you be?

Pink or green?

That remains to be seen.

-Okay.
-[Jackson] Oh, so you just take and…

[Everett] It doesn't… It's random.

[tense music playing]

[Garrison] Whatever color is in the candy

is what team you're on.

[candy crunching]

It's all down to chance.

-[Gabrielle] Pink?
-[Austin] Pink.

[Gabrielle] Oh, green.

-Pink.
-[Tatum] Pink.

-[Jackson] Green.
-Green.

[Ziad] Everyone's eating their chocolate
to pick their teams.

-[Garrison] Pink.
-Pink.

[Ziad] Pink. Green.

Pink.

Green.

[candy crunching]

-White?
-[Everett gasps] It's white?

[Ziad] I bite into mine.

White.

Huh!

-Good luck, everyone.
-[Austin] Let's go.

[Ziad] I have no idea
what the white chocolate means.

Bye.

[Gabrielle] Okay, pink.

[Willy Wonka] So we have our Pink Team

and our Green Team.

But, Ziad, Ziad, Ziad…

whatever are we going to do with you?

Because there are no free rides
this late on the tour.

[dramatic sting]

So you now have the power
to choose which team to join.

[dramatic music playing]

The question is, who do you think
has a better chance of winning?

Because failure comes with consequences.

The choice is yours.

[music fades]

We got two lives here.

Yeah.

We don't know if the losing team
are all gonna be terminated.

Two lives.

Might as well separate them.

Instead of us both going home today.

Let's do it.

[Ziad] I love you, baby. All right.

Splitting us up gives one of us
a better chance at returning home

with three million dollars.

Let's play hard, bruh.

I don't want Ziad on the Pink Team.

I was not expecting that, but…
God bless your heart.

Dang, this team is just full of guys.

[Garrison] He's too loud
and too controlling.

But hopefully, having these two pairs
both be on different teams,

that means we have a good chance
to break up all the pairs.

[electronic interference]

[static crackling on TV]

[jaunty tune plays on TV]

[announcer] Welcome to Out of Sorts,
a true test of teamwork.

[film reel clicks, whirs]

Tonight,

you must sort six different Wonka candies
in the correct order

by placing them in six different tubes.

[jaunty tune continues]

When you think you have the correct order,

pull the lever.

The machine will tell you how many candies
are in the correct spot,

but not which ones.

If the order is incorrect,

all the tubes will empty,

and you must try again
with a new combination

until all six tubes are correct.

The first team
to sort all the candies correctly is safe.

The losing team is not.

Today's candies to sort are

the delicious Red Hot Smackers,

Sour Puss,

Oopseyberry,

Dicey Pairs,

Eye Candy,

and Tingleteeth.

[music stops]

[static crackling]

[Willy Wonka] Now,
there's only one correct combination.

I could tell you,
but where's the fun in that?

[chuckles]

Instead, each team has access to a riddle.

It holds the answers,

though they're quite a fiddle.

Or, if you're bold of heart,

simply grab a candy and start.

-[Ziad] I'm not ready to read the riddle.
-[Gabrielle] I just think…

No point in putting anything in there
until we are confident.

-'Cause we'll waste so much time.
-[Austin] Yeah, not a bad idea.

[electricity crackling]

[conveyor belt whirring]

[Willy Wonka] Everyone ready?

Let's get sorted.

[horn blares]

[dramatic music playing]

[Ziad] Let's go, let's go, let's go.

We'll figure it out.

I know that Austin's the puzzle man.

Um…

[Ziad] He will really take it slow.

Really think about things.

Come on, let's go, let's go!

However, I like things to move fast.

Fill them up. We'll figure it out
once we get there. Let's go!

So, my plan going into this is to quickly
try as many combinations as possible.

Grab 'em!

I'm great with motivating people
to work hard,

so I'm gonna make it happen.

Let's go.

I mean, how many different combinations
could it be?

[Austin] We want to figure out
the riddle first.

I'm looking at six tubes.

That's six times five times

four times three times two.

That's 720 possible combinations.

There's no chance
we're gonna solve this thing

if we just randomly put them
and see which ones are correct.

[Ziad] Boom!

[Austin] So, we need to nail down
at least a few positions

to reduce the total combinations.

[Taylor] "A bitter face seals your fate."

"Place those at the starting gate."

[Austin] Okay, the first one is sour.

[tense music playing]

-I'm gonna start.
-[Austin] Sour first. Go sour first.

[Taylor] "Twin dice are dressed
in candied skin."

"Their place is last, insert 'em and win."

[Austin] Okay,
the pears go in the last one.

[Tatum] Pear is last.

-[Austin] Yeah, pear is last. Thank you.
-Yeah.

[Ziad] We just need to fill them up.

[Willy Wonka] Teams,
you need to put six candies

in each tube
before you can pull the lever.

-[Ziad] Go, go, go, go, go.
-We need one more.

-[Ziad] Come on.
-[Everett] Pull it.

[lever cranks]

[soft rattling]

[alarm blares]

[female announcer] Pink Team,
you have four tubes filled correctly.

[Gabrielle] Wait.

-[Everett] Four. We got four!
-[Ziad] Four.

-[Garrison] Remember it.
-[Tatum] They got four.

-[Austin] They got lucky.
-[Jackson] Let's go. Let's hustle.

[Ziad] We hit four already.

We're flying through.

We're so close to winning.

My plan is working.

We're staying in the game today, baby.

-Do you remember what they were?
-[Ziad] Yes.

-Someone has to be designated rememberer.
-[Ziad] I got it.

[Austin] All right, last sour face.

The sour is clear
that it's going in the beginning.

The pear is pretty clear
that it goes on the end.

That leaves four columns in the middle.

For the Oopseyberry,

the tooth decay,

the kiss,

and the eye.

[Taylor] "One sweet watches,
the other's decayed."

"With each other, they should be played."

[Austin] We know that the tooth decay
and eyes have to go together.

But it doesn't say exactly where.

So that's three possible positions
for those two.

So that's three times two, six times two…

Twelve possibilities right there.

Try tooth, then eye next.

We're gonna have to experiment
with permutation after permutation.

-Until we find something that clicks.
-[Tatum] Go!

[Austin] But it is always gonna come down
to a little bit of luck.

-All right, you ready?
-[Jackson] Yeah, go.

-[lever cranks]
-[alarm blares]

[female announcer] Green Team,
you have two tubes filled correctly.

-[Taylor] Two?
-[Austin] Two.

Well, I mean,
I guess all the middle ones are wrong.

[Ziad] These are last. These are last.
Can you put those last?

[Gabrielle] Are you sure?

[Ziad] Let's go, let's go.

-[Everett] You remember what order, right?
-[Ziad] Yes.

-We're gonna try something.
-[Everett] The ends are the same.

No, no, the ends are not the same.

[Everett] No?

Wait.

[tense music playing]

[Everett] I'm realizing that Ziad
doesn't remember what the order was

when we had four right.

Like, how were we
not paying attention to that?

-[Ziad] Fill them up.
-[Everett] Can I read the clue?

I'm trying to jump in a little bit more

because I'm realizing that Ziad's logic
isn't always making sense.

The eye and tooth
have to be next to each other…

They were not in those right places.
Let's just go.

[clock ticking]

The eyes were definitely here.

[Everett] Do you remember
what the order was when we got the four?

[faint whirring]

[rapid ticking]

[low bass hums]

No.

-Was the sour supposed to be in this one?
-[Ziad] No, no, no.

I should've realized sooner
that he had no idea what he was doing.

-[Ziad] Put the sour here, bro.
-[Bryce] Okay.

All right, sour's for sure the first one.

We know that the first and last candies
are in the correct positions.

We just need to figure out
the four tubes in the middle.

We know the teeth and the eye go together.

So that means
the Oopseyberry and the Red Hot Smackers

might also go together.

[music swells]

All right. Let's swap the middle.

And so this time we're gonna swap
the Tingleteeth and the Eye Candy

with the Oopseyberry
and the Red Hot Smackers.

Do we agree on this? Eyes, teeth?

-Yeah.
-[Austin] Let's try that.

Hopefully that'll put everything in order.

-[Gabrielle] Come on, guys. Let's go.
-[Ziad] Go, baby.

Come on. That's it!

That's it. That's it.

[lever cranks]

[alarm blares]

[female announcer] Pink Team,
you have two tubes filled correctly.

[Bryce sighs]

[Garrison] We had four before.

They have two now.

[Austin] Hurry up. It's a race.

[Everett] We just have to remember
what has been where.

-That's what we're doing first?
-Yeah.

-Why?
-I feel like we had four right.

There was only two that were wrong.

[Gabrielle] We have let Z take the reins.

He seems very confident in his ability,

but we are struggling right now.

It's honestly a hot disaster.

-Teeth were in this one. So…
-[Ziad mutters]

-Wait. This is what she just said.
-Yes. Teeth in four. Eyes in five.

-[Ziad] What's in three?
-We'll just try it and see what happens.

It's like trying to herd a bunch of sheep
that, like, don't have eyes or something.

Like, they don't know where they're going.

-[Ziad] Put oopsy-daisy back in…
-We had two and two again. These two stay.

[Ziad] Put oopsey-daisy back in five.
It's not gonna matter. Just fill it up.

[dramatic music playing]

-[Jackson] Need a pear.
-[Austin] Rainbow, Taylor.

I'm confident that we're close to getting
these things in the correct order.

[Jackson] Last eyeball.

[Austin] But we need to go
as fast as possible

because they could get lucky at any time.

-[Ziad] All right. Eyes were here.
-[Everett] No, I don't think so.

[Tatum] Need a pear.
Go, Taylor. Go, go, go, go, go.

[lever cranks]

[chimes softly]

[female announcer] Green Team,
you have all tubes filled correctly.

[indistinct chatter]

-[Austin] Good work, guys.
-[Jackson] Let's go.

Wow.

It's tough to lose this

because someone's gonna
get terminated from this.

And I feel like
if we had strategized this differently,

we probably would've won.

Maybe I should've taken
a little bit more of a lead here,

but… it's too late.

[Tatum] Oh my gosh. Good job.
You were so good. You were brilliant.

This is why I didn't wanna be
on Ziad's team in that Honey Challenge

because he loves to just take over
and thinks that he knows everything.

[Willy Wonka] Green Team.

You successfully sorted
my sorting machine,

and your teamwork has earned your place
to continue the factory tour.

[suspenseful music playing]

Pink Team.

You've unfortunately failed,

but as a saving grace

you can mark one person on your team
to be safe from tour termination.

[music fades]

[Garrison] It's extremely important
to be picked.

I lost my mom already.

I have to make this happen for her

and my family.

Only one of us is safe.

Yeah.

[Everett] How do we want to
determine that?

We can play beans
with our hands behind our back.

No. I don't wanna leave it up to chance.

As far as today's game goes,

I think we all worked our butts off.

I feel like at this point

you guys both have somebody
in the game right now.

I'm just putting this out there.

It's not definitive.

I also wanna put out there
that I've done a lot for everybody here.

I've done God's work for all of us here.

And I'm sure we can all agree with that.

We all worked hard.

That's why I think it needs to be a game
because we've all done good things--

Yeah, but you have more marbles
in the game than anybody.

If that's how you guys feel,
I'll step back.

You guys decide amongst yourselves.

It's clear that Gabby, Garrison, Everett,

whoever else of the singles
got together and agreed

that they need to dwindle down the duos.

The reality is the only people
you don't want is me and Bryce.

That's true because we have a partner.

It's an easy scapegoat to say
there's two of us and two of them.

But what I've done to stay here
got nothing to do with Austin.

You have a built-in alliance though.
You guys can work together.

Bro, I just yelled at a girl for your mom.

Nobody asked you to do that.

Correct, I'm… but I'm saying
he's saying I have an alliance,

but having a partner
has not helped me at all.

You guys can all have partners.

I'll be alone.
I'll still take the hard way.

[Gabrielle] Z just keeps talking

and just going back and forth
with Garrison, which…

Is this not déjà vu?
This literally happened in the Wonkavator.

I have done more for all of you here
than you've done for me.

I even joined your guys' team, right?
To help you guys out right now.

Please stop talking.

Listen, arguing back and forth about
two people versus one isn't gonna help.

So if we all wanna join in
and state our case, we can.

I stated my case. It doesn't have value
because of that guy standing right there.

-[Gabrielle] It has nothing to do with us.
-Would you vote for me?

If you were here by yourself,
no, I wouldn't give you the vote.

My point is there's three singles.

Me and him aren't getting a vote,
regardless.

I think this is gonna require people
stepping back and being honest.

If you feel that you've given back to me
that same way, then we're good.

[Gabrielle] Z is a little gaslighter.

All of these things that he was doing
to "help people"

was just part of his plan.

Last time I checked,
this was Wonka's factory.

This isn't Ziad's factory.

So, if we're putting it to a vote,

mine goes to Garrison
just because I'm literally here

because Garrison chose me to play
that game in the Wonkavator.

Thank you.

[Bryce] Um…

My vote goes to Garrison.

[softly] That's crazy.

But if I'm picking you,
you better watch after Taylor.

Of course.

That's my vote.

My vote goes to Garrison
'cause he looked me in the eyes and said

it doesn't matter what I've done here.

We have an advantage
that needs to get cut. I appreciate it.

-I'm sorry we got into it.
-[Garrison] No.

But I appreciate your honesty.

[Garrison] Mmm.

At this point,
there's a consensus already.

So… congrats. I think you deserve it.

[Ziad exhales deeply]

[Willy Wonka] Garrison, you're safe.

And now you can join the others.

[Ziad] As much as I don't wanna go home,

I've been in this position so many times.

Until I hear the words…

[imitates Willy Wonka]
…"Ziad, your tour has been terminated,"

game's still on.

[Willy Wonka] Garrison,

you now hold the power
to mark another guest safe.

-Oh my God.
-[Everett] Oh my God.

They will then decide the next,

and so on and so forth

until the last person remaining
is terminated.

[Everett] Oh my God.

Garrison getting that power right now
is amazing with what we're hoping to do,

which is to get rid of people
who have a partner in here.

[Garrison] All right.

Um…

You both have people here.

[suspenseful music playing]

You two do not.

I'm gonna go with Gabby.

[softly] Thank you.

[Willy Wonka] Gabrielle, you are safe.

If you're trying to win, bruh,
wrong choice.

I supported Garrison endlessly
with the situation with Ava and his mom,

but knowing that Garrison
felt no obligation

to return any favor towards me
just makes this game easy for me.

Who do you wanna eliminate?
Boom, boom. Easy. No thought.

[ominous music playing]

[Willy Wonka] Gabrielle,

pick another guest to mark safe.

[dramatic sting]

[exhales deeply]

[Gabrielle] Um…

[clock ticking]

Jeez.

I had a brief discussion last night
with Everett

about trying to get the pairs separated.

Here's my dilemma.

I'm close with Taylor and Bryce,

but I also know that if I save Bryce,

there's a chance he's going to choose Z.

I don't trust Z or Austin,
so my… my brain's going insane.

Jeez Louise.

This is the biggest decision
I have to make in this competition.

A lifetime supply of money

is only nine people away from me
right now.

[softly] You know what you gotta do.

[Gabrielle] At this point
in the competition,
