[bunniefuu]

[metal clanging and grinding]

[metal clinks]

[dramatic music playing]

-[rapid ticking]
-[music intensifies]

I got three million dollars on the line,

and it's all boiling down
to a 50-50 guess from Poppy,

if I'm holding a bean in my hand or not.

[dramatic music continues]

[jelly beans rustling]

[Ziad] I could be getting terminated
from this factory.

But I just don't give up.

I'm gonna fight
until I can't fight no more.

So I stared into Poppy's soul
to apply a little pressure.

[low bass humming]

And I did not break eye contact
with that man the entire time.

Nerves of steel, baby.

[Ray breathes deeply]

[Ray] My heart is beating so fast.

Oh my God, I am holding my breath.

All I'm thinking is to guess right,

and I'm back with my grandson.

[Jackson] Now I really hope
it's not a fight to the death.

[Ray] 50-50 chance, I am guessing.

And that's all I could do.

[dramatic music playing]

Z…

[Ray exhales softly]

[music intensifies]

I think you are holding one bean.

[music intensifies]

[music shimmers and whooshes]

[somber music playing]

[Ray chuckling]

I'm sorry, Ray.

Give me a smile, baby.

[Ray laughs]

[Ray inhales deeply] Oh.

[Ray clears throat]

[Ziad] This is crazy.

My heart fell out of my chest.

Take care of Jack.

[Ziad] I will.

I'm leaving very disappointed,
but Jackson stands tall.

And when you get to know him,
you immediately know

that whatever the young man's telling you,

you can take to the bank.

[Ziad] I'll tell Jackson you love him,
all right?

[Ray] Oh, that boy knows it,
but it never hurts to hear twice.

This is all about…

[inhales deeply]

…oh, the love.

[tearfully] My grandson,

I am just praying
that he takes this thing to the end.

That would, uh…

That would make this grandfather so proud.

[faint ticking]

[Ziad] Whew!

Let the games begin, baby.

I'm chilling though.

♪ 'Cause I didn't have a bean in my hand ♪

[quirky music playing]

[music dings]

[Ziad exhales deeply]

[suspenseful music playing]

"You passed the jelly bean test
and are the last human bean standing."

"Your reward, a power in the next test."

"Tomorrow, you must pick
three team captains,

knowing that if their team loses
in the test that follows,

that captain's tour will be terminated."

"You will sit out entirely,
meaning your place in the tour is safe."

This is what I've been waiting for.

Thank you, Ben.

Power, and I won't disappoint, baby.

Call me…

[knives swishing]

…Evil Z.

[dramatic sting]

[twinkling music playing]

[low bass hum]

-[indistinct chatter]
-[Kayla sobs]

[Kayla sobbing]

So rude.

-It's so rude.
-[Sasha softly] She's crashing.

[softly] She needs to just be quiet.

The guys in the room,
they were picked by Kayla,

but she's making a scene,

crying her eyes out,

making it all about herself,

which is frustrating,

because there's a lot of anxiety.

We don't know who's going to
be coming back into the factory.

I am 100% certain that Ziad is home!

Oh my God, bro.

-[Austin] Oh my boy.
-[Ziad grunts]

[music crashes]

[Sasha] Sorry, Jackson.

Oh man.

-[Jeff] Sorry, man.
-[Kayla continues sobbing]

[Jackson] The situation right now sucks.

[melancholic music playing]

It's… it's just me now.

Poppy, you know, I love Poppy.

I had coffee with him every morning.
We all love Poppy.

I was not the one
who wanted to take Poppy out, man.

But he said he loves you.

[Jackson tearfully]
It's not gonna be easy.

[sniffles] It'd be easier
if Poppy was here.

Poppy would tell me to stay focused.

[sniffling]

And not to be a crybaby.

[chuckles sadly]

[Jackson sobs]

[Hunter] Bro, to the end.

But Hunter's been here for so long
by himself, and he is just k*lling it.

Hunter is a good guy.

My Poppy was saved by Hunter
in the Wheel of Misfortune…

[Cannon] Hunter, who are you
taking out the hot seat?

[Hunter exhales deeply] Poppy.

-[Ray] Ah.
-[Hunter] Yeah.

[Ray] Man, I love you.

-[Ray chuckles]
-[Hunter] All good.

[Hunter] Whew!

[Jackson] …and that makes me trust him.

Kayla. She is enemy number one right now.

[Kayla sobbing]

Kayla is crying like crazy,
but I can see right through it.

Snake in the grass, y'all.

Kayla told me that I was safe yesterday

and that I was protected,
that she was not coming after me.

[Howie] Bill, pick somebody
to maybe come to the end of their tour.

-Hunter, I wanna give it to you.
-[Tatum] What?

-[Gabrielle] What?
-[Sasha] What?

And so now,
everyone in this house doesn't trust her,

and she's got the biggest target
on her back.

[Kayla continues sobbing]

[foreboding music playing]

I do have some bad news,

whenever we ready for that.

[tearfully] Just throw it out, please.

[Ziad] You guys have quite the day
ahead of you tomorrow.

I will be picking three team captains.

Each team captain will run a team
that will play a game.

And whichever team loses…

[music surges]

…the team captain will be terminated.

[dramatic music playing]

Wow.

[Ziad] Take the night, think.

And if anybody wants to volunteer,
and if not, tomorrow, I'll pick.

[dramatic sting]

[Kayla sobbing]

[dramatic music continues]

[Kayla] A lot of people
are pretty pissed at me.

If I didn't have a target on me already…

[chuckles]

…I'm sure as heck got one on me now!

Earlier, I picked Bryce, Sasha, Ziad

to be at risk of termination.

Can I talk to you three, please?

-[Sasha] Mm.
-[Ziad] Yeah.

[Kayla] But there is no other player
in this game

who is as skilled as me socially.

[Ziad] Somebody make me some hot cocoa.

You make me some…
You go make me some hot cocoa.

[Kayla] Luckily,
I'm feeling confident about Ziad.

I have a great relationship with him.

I saved Ziad on day one.

[tense music playing]

-[coin clinking]
-[lever creaks]

[loud rumbling]

[Ziad shouts] Where am I?

-[contestants cheering]
-[Ziad crying]

[Kayla] I know that
Ziad has to pick team captains.

And I need to get him back on my side.

And you know what?
I'm willing to say anything.

[whispers] When I picked the three of you,

I strategically picked this group

because I thought
the four of us would come out.

So when I saw the jelly beans,
I felt horrible

because I did not at all consider
that it would be random chance.

[tearfully] I don't know
how it worked out this way.

[Kayla inhales sharply]

-But I am so relieved…
-[Ziad] Hm.

…that the three of you came out.

[music surges]

[music cuts abruptly]

[Ziad] I never…

never win games like that, bro.

I won, bro.

You're okay.

[whimsical musical playing]

Hey, you good. You gave me my adventure.

You all good. Don't worry about it.

[chuckles] My plan worked!

[laughing]

Getting this target off my back
once again.

[Kayla giggles]

And it worked.

[dramatic music playing]

Kayla, Kayla, Kayla.

[snorts] I'm sorry.

She's already made it literally impossible
for anybody to trust her again.

When I think about who I want to pick
to be a team captain and potentially lose,

Kayla is an easy pick.

Other than that,
who was the other options?

Y'all can come if you want.

I should just be transparent with people.

Loyalty means everything to me.

So, I'm sitting here with people
that I've grown fond of

to discuss my decision
as to who will be the three captains.

So, you know, I'm obviously
thinking about tomorrow

and who I wanna pick.

I do have options.

I'm very aware that Ava's here to play.

-Dad, you wanna sit next to me?
-[Jeff] Hm.

I think Ava is just really conditioned
to getting what she wants.

The team captains should be Kayla,
Tatum, and Everett.

[Jeff scoffs]

[Ziad] Now I have an opportunity
to kind of remove Ava from the factory.

I couldn't look at any of your faces

and choose you right now,

while there's people who
I don't necessarily feel that way with.

[Ziad inhales deeply]

But there's two people here
who I don't have a relationship with,

and that's Kellye and Tatum.

[dramatic music playing]

Unfortunately,

there's the least amount of affinity
between me, Kellye, and Tatum.

But can I put a mother and daughter
against each other?

-[Tatum] Hello.
-[Kellye] Hi, honey.

[Bryce] She's on her way back.

-[Ziad] Hm? Okay.
-She's coming back.

[Bryce] Yeah. I'm gonna go.

-[Sasha] I'm gonna shower.
-[Ziad] Mm-hm.

[indistinct chatter]

I walk over to my bed, and there's
a group of them talking with Z,

and I notice that they stop talking.

They all leave the room when I come near.

I am immediately suspicious.

[Tatum] Did I miss anything?

Has Z talked to anybody, or…

[dramatic music playing]

I don't…

He's sort of…

I would maybe go talk to him
directly about it.

Oh!

Okay.

[Tatum] We have the least
emotional connection with him,

and I think
he's putting me up for captain.

Should I just go up to him? Z?

Just say, "If you're thinking about
putting Tatum as a team captain,

I'd rather you put me instead."

I need to go talk to him right now.

[Tatum] Hey, Z.

[Ziad] What up?

My mom does not wanna be here without me.

She was saying she'd rather just volunteer
to be a captain.

[Ziad] Let me ask you something.

If you're both captains,
you won't both get eliminated.

[music dings]

So you're thinking
of putting both of us up for captain.

[Ziad] Mm-hmm.

[Tatum] Then we're competing
against each other.

We definitely wouldn't wanna compete
against each other.

[ominous music playing]

[Tatum sighs]

Man.

-[Tatum scoffs]
-Like, we're…

Uh, we're…

Well, I'm blindsided.

You're gonna put a mother
against a daughter.

If you can give me a factual,
like, logical "you are wrong."

"This is how you could go
base… base it off of."

And it's not just emotions.
It's not just whatever.

I'll change my pick.

The truth is,

if it was one of you two,
I'd make sure it was one of you

and not the other.

[Ziad] I totally respect you coming.

It's not set in stone. We'll see.

[music intensifies]

[Ziad] What a day.

[Kellye] Good night.

-[Bryce] All right. Good night, man.
-[Austin] Good night, Bryce.

[music surges]

[door creaking open]

[vehicle approaching]

♪ Wonka Radio! ♪

-[microphone static]
-[Willy Wonka] Good morning, dreamers.

Time to rise and shine.

[Kayla] I'm missing my dad, yeah,
but I'm happy to be here.

I am building up genuine relationships
with people who I actually connect with.

Where are you from again?
California, right?

[Kayla] Grew up in Orange County.

-Okay.
-[Kayla] What about you?

-I was, uh… Jersey.
-[Kayla] Jersey, right?

-Yeah.
-Did you go to school out there too?

-Yeah, I did.
-Where did you go?

I went to college.
I played ball there and stuff like that.

-Basketball?
-[Kayla] Really?

-On a scholarship?
-Yeah. I was… Yeah. Mm-hmm.

Yeah, scholarship
and, um, yeah, sports and everything.

I was a D1 athlete in basketball.

I'm the girl in the middle.

Pass me the ball,
and I'm going to score every time.

I play golf now.

[chuckling]

[Kayla] I know I can trust
Garrison and Shawn.

They are people who I have a loyalty with.

[Kayla exhales deeply]

-[Garrison] What's up, Kayla?
-Hi.

How are, uh, you and your mom feeling?

We feel good.

Things definitely change all the time.

But, you know,
I feel more confident that my mom is…

Can really play this game.

Oh, we've definitely been talking
game strategy

and, like, how things might work out.

[Jackson] Who's ready to go?

-Who's ready?
-[Shawn chuckles]

I know I am.

[Garrison] I feel like if it was me
or my mom, I would like her to stay.

-She deserves it.
-[Kayla] Okay.

[Garrison] My mom means the world to me.

To be here with her,

it's like a dream come true.

I'm here to support her.

My mom is a schoolteacher.

She wants to retire, and she can't,
because my grandmother, uh, is not well,

and she needs 24-7 care.

So, to win the prize money
would change my family's life.

And, man,
to see her win the three million dollars

would be such a beautiful sight.

[microphone static]

[Willy Wonka] Dear guests…

[Sasha] Oh, come on, man!

…please follow the Oompa-Loompa
to the chocolate room…

Leave your bottles.

…where Ziad will reveal

his chosen team captains
for today's factory test.

A delightful honor,

though sadly,
one captain will not be staying long.

[Kayla claps]

I'm happy I have the power.

Obviously, I will be picking Kayla.

[all exclaiming]

[indistinct chatter]

[Ziad] I am also considering
Tatum and Kellye,

but I do have options.

[dramatic music playing]

I am also considering Ava.

-How are you feeling?
-[Ziad] Good.

[ZIad] Ava will step on your back
to get what she wants.

Never know what you're walking into here,
you know?

I got to be strategic here, right?

We're gonna make decisions sometimes

that the other person
might not agree with.

[music crescendos]

[Tatum] It's game time.

[Ziad] I'm excited for this one.

[Willy Wonka] Ziad,
after surviving has-beans yesterday,

you've well and truly become
the flavor of the month.

I do hope it's given you a taste for drama

because your next challenge awaits.

You must choose three captains
for today's factory test.

A delicious power.

[Kellye] I'm hoping that
we got through to Ziad last night.

I'm hoping that
somehow he changes his mind

and doesn't choose both of us.

[Willy Wonka] Here's what
you need to know.

Each team will take on the same test,
but not at the same level of difficulty.

One test is hard,

one is harder,

and one is the hardest of them all.

For the team facing the hardest test,
the risk of failure rises dramatically.

So, Ziad, who do you want
to set up for success?

And who are you willing to place
in even greater danger?

The choice is yours.

[music crescendos]

[Ziad] Hi, everybody.

Unfortunately, as we know,

with some I haven't been able
to break through.

[tense music playing]

I simply am not as connected to you.

So, Kellye,

I will be picking you
as the first team captain.

Similarly, to the same note…

Tatum, I'm choosing you
to be the second team captain.

[Everett] You got this. You got this.

There's strategy,
and then there's cruelty.

And…

pitting us against each other by choice
feels very cruel.

But we are ready to face it.

I just hope the third captain
will end up having the hardest challenge.

[Kayla] In my opinion,
I think that was a logical choice,

and I feel confident
that I'm about to be safe.

[Ziad] Lastly…

Kayla.

[dramatic sting]

[faint ticking]

You saved me

and brought me back into this game.

And I made a commitment to you and Bill,

but you stabbed me in my back

when you picked me
to go into the death room last night

to play has beans.

[tense music playing]

To make matters worse,

you're crying in front of all of us

as if we are stupid.

[Kayla scoffs]

So, with no tears in my eyes,

I am picking you.

And you may win today,

but what I hope
you choose to do moving forward

is that if you wanna play this game

coming for everybody
who stabs you in the back,

look them in the eyes and do it

without the alligator tears, all right?

[Kayla] What the heck is happening?

I would've never expected this from him.

He's a coward. My God.

So, Kayla,

you are the third team captain.

Ziad has clearly forgotten

the only reason he is here
is because of me.

And here he is stabbing me in the back.

He is going to regret that decision.

Let's do it.

Tatum, I'm gifting you with level hard.

Kellye, I'm gifting you with level harder.

And Kayla, I'm gifting you
with level hardest.

[low bass hum]

I think that's insane. [scoffs]

Ziad's speech is giving me the fire I need

to get my head on straight
and get back in this game.

[dramatic music playing]

[Willy Wonka] Tatum, Kellye, Kayla,

the sweetest victories
start with the perfect ingredients.

You will choose your teammates
schoolyard-style.

The right mix could be all that stands
between you and termination.

Kayla, with the hardest test ahead
and the biggest disadvantage,

you have first pick.

It's a "game on" face right there.

Yeah.

It's gonna go down.

I'm gonna thank Ziad

for, uh, getting my head back in the game.

You're welcome.

[Kayla] We don't know exactly
what the challenge is.

So when people have the opportunity
to form a team,

they're gonna form the strongest team
to give them the best chance of winning.

This individual has shown strength,

has shown intelligence,

and has shown integrity
throughout this game.

-I'm gonna pick Shawn to join my team.
-[Garrison] Oh wow. You got it.

Jackson,
I would like to have you on my team.

Sasha.

[Tatum] It's also important
to have strong players

in case it's based on physicality.

Hunter.

All right, big guy.

Austin, come on.

Garrison. Come join the hard team.

[Kellye] And then also,

you want people on the team
who are really smart.

Everett.

Gabrielle.

Taylor.

[contestants applauding]

[suspenseful music playing]

Ava. We know you're a fighter,
so we're gonna have you join our team.

Bryce, would you please join my team?

[Tatum] And unfortunately,
I was the last one to choose.

[clock strikes]

My last pick is by default.

Come on over, Jeff.

-[Kellye] Yeah!
-[Tatum] Come join the hard team.

Let's go. Let's go. Let's go.

[Tatum] I have nothing against Jeff,
but he has not performed in challenges.

-Whatever it takes, we gotta win.
-[Tatum] Yes, yes, yes.

-[horn blares]
-[Willy Wonka] My dear guests,

-all aboard the Wonkatania.
-[horn blares]

-[Kayla] Yo, let's go, y'all.
-[Gabrielle] We're good.

[Willy Wonka] Ziad, since you're safe,
sit back and savor the chaos.

Austin.

Boy, oh boy,
am I glad I'm sitting this one out.

Kayla is the captain to be terminated.

[horn blares]

I don't know what the challenge is,

but my hope is that
Kellye and Tatum can handle business.

Get her out of here.

So I hope the play will be a success.

Every one of us has shown
how strong we are throughout this,

and we're gonna get out on this
on the other end.

[Ziad] Otherwise,
she's going to come for me.

[door rumbles open]

[whimsical music playing]

[music builds]

[Kayla] I am unfazed by the fact
that we are in the hardest room.

-[Everett] All right.
-[Kayla] Let's do it.

I think we got it.

I really have the best team,

and I believe in them.

-Okay.
-[Garrison] Yes, sir.

-We can do this.
-Oh yeah, we can.

[softly] We can do this!

If my team doesn't get first
or second place,

I'm terminated as team captain,
and I'm not ready to go home.

[door creaks open]

[Sasha exclaims] Don't lick the walls.

[Jeff] Oh!

[Sasha] Oh my gosh.

-But this is the wallpaper that…
-[Jeff] Smells good.

-…that they licked in the movie.
-[Taylor] Yeah, smells good.

-[Kellye gasps]
-[Gabrielle] Oh.

-[Kellye] Oh, raspberries.
-[Bryce] You know, I always loved fruits.

-This is kind of super freaky.
-Yes.

[Kellye] Yeah. It's great.

-Look at this wallpaper.
-[Kayla squeals]

[excitedly] It's the Lickable Wallpaper!

It's the Lickable Wallpaper.

[music swells]

[microphone static]

[Hunter] Hold on, hold on.

[Bryce] Here we are.

[jaunty music plays]

[female announcer] Guests,
welcome to your training video.

In a true test of leadership…

[door creaking open]

…there are three rooms
with varying difficulty,

and each has only one way out.

-You must lick your way to safety.
-[slurping]

[Everett guffaws]

-Bro, I'm a licker.
-[Ava] Oh my God.

[female announcer] Each team must lick
the Lickable Wallpaper

to uncover letters
Mr. Wonka has hidden underneath.

Those letters must all be entered
into the keypad.

Once you have entered all of the letters,

you will receive further instructions

on how to escape the room.

[soft whirring]

However, the captain of the losing team

will be terminated.

[cartoonish squelching]

[Willy Wonka] Team Hard,
you have four letters to find.

Team Harder, you have six letters to find.

And, Team Hardest,
you have seven letters to find.

You have one minute to strategize

before this turns into a real jawbreaker.

[Kayla] Okay, you guys. If one person

is, like, standing on somebody's knee
or get on my back,

we can lick at the same time,
high, medium, and low.

Ziad's given me hardest.

If my team loses today,
that's the end of my tour.

And I do consider myself
somewhat of a leader.

So I need to take control.

We're gonna have to work together,
you guys.

[Hunter] Yep.

What if we start here and go that way?
That way, we know we meet.

-We should go in separate areas.
-[Kellye] Okay.

The way the Harder team
is going to win this

is divide and conquer.

Girls are gonna lick on the bottom.

The guys are gonna lick
on the middle to high.

If there is something
that obviously is too high,

we're gonna get someone on shoulders.

The key is to be clear
on what it is that we need to be doing.

We have a plan.

[music whooshes]

[Tatum] Is it just the fruit?
Or is it anywhere on the wall?

No, it's just the fruit.

It is just the fruit. Did they say that?

-[Sasha] Yeah, yeah, yeah.
-Okay.

We're in the Hard room.

And I've never been a captain
before in my life.

Um… Yeah.

I'm more of a facilitator.

And so I have no choice
but to rely on my teammates right now.

-[Willy Wonka] Okay, teams.
-Hold.

Hold your tongues until I say go.

Ziad, since you're safe,
sit back and enjoy the show.

[soft chime]

Wonka world, baby.

[static on TV]

[Willy Wonka] Get to it, lickety-split.

-Your factory test starts now.
-[buzzer blares]

-[Jeff] Start.
-[Kellye] Now! All right, get to it.

[Jeff] Lick hard.

-[Tatum] Uh-huh, lick really hard.
-This is disgusting.

[Ziad] Oh no, dude.

This is gonna be atrocious to watch.

[Garrison] Really use your lips too.

[slurping]

-How you like making out with the wall?
-[Sasha laughs] It's all over my face.

This is wrong.

[Hunter] Oh, this is so gross.

You can spit on it! You can spit on it!

How am I gonna live with these people
after this?

[Gabrielle chuckles]

It's so bad.

[whimsical music playing]

I cannot believe
that I have to lick a wall.

I'm on a mission, Kellye.
I'm on a mission to save you.

So, we divide and conquer.

-[Austin] That's an H.
-[soft ding]

[Gabrielle] Lick, spit on it.

Get down and dirty if you have to.

R.

Ah, sorry, Mom and Dad.

That's all I have to say.

-[Kellye] Ugh.
-[Austin] You all right, Kellye?

[Kellye] Delicious.

[Kayla] I'm gonna lick this apple,
and somebody go for orange next to it.

[Hunter] I am wet right now.
My mouth is wet.

[Ziad laughing]

Oh, dude.

I was giving it
that Lickmaster 5000 in there.

You need technique, full tongue.

You got to hit the right spot
to find a letter.

[Kayla] We're gonna have to lick
the ones that are higher.

And we got to be smart about how we do it.

My captain right now
is talking a whole lot.

[Kayla] Everett, come over here,
and lick this apple.

So if you're talking, you're not licking.

[Kayla] Do not skip the corners!

Keep going. Keep working.

[Tatum] Get one good spot,
and just lift it all up.

[Sasha] Guys, I'm not getting any.

[Tatum] Haven't gotten one either.

I should be leading the pack
in this situation, but…

[gagging]

I am gagging.

I think I'm about to throw up.

[Tatum coughs]

Ew!

[Garrison] I got one. It's an R.

-[Tatum] Fortunately, my teammates…
-[dings]

…have my back.

[Jeff] I got a D right here.

-[Tatum] Okay, go put it in!
-[Garrison] Go put it in!

-[dings]
-[Tatum] Okay, I think it's hard.

[Willy Wonka] My dear guests,

every letter must be found
before you can taste sweet escape.

[Tatum] Okay, okay.
Keep going, guys. Keep going.

[dramatic sting]

[Austin] Okay, here we go.

-[Jackson] I got a D.
-[Kellye] Wow.

[Austin] Wait,
I think it's gonna spell harder.

My team gave it their all.

We are all over this and ready to win.

[Gabrielle] E.

-[dings]
-[announcer] All letters found.

[team cheering]

[announcer] Please unscramble letters
to solve word.

-[keys clicking]
-[screen chimes]

[Team Harder cheering]

[Gabrielle screams] Let's go!

Let's go, baby!

[Willy Wonka] Team Harder,
congratulations.

You've licked the competition
and secured your safety.

They're out.

-[Jackson] Yeah, baby.
-[Ziad] Let's go!

-[Jackson shouts]
-[Ziad] Yeah!

[all] Let's go!

[Ziad] Let's go!

[Jackson] Guys, guys, guys, guys, guys!

-They're here as well.
-Let's watch.

Is Tatum's team still in?

-They're both still in.
-Both are in.

[dramatic music playing]

[Willy Wonka] Tatum and Team Hard,

Kayla and Team Hardest,

it's now down to you.

Keep licking.

-[Kayla] What is it?
-[Ava] R.

R! R! R!

-[soft ding]
-[Kayla yells] There's more?

Oh my God.

[Kayla] I think the strategy
is going to come together.

Everybody is finding the letters quickly
because I'm a pretty good leader.

Ava, get on Everett's back
and lick that apple.

Is everybody licking something right now?

Kayla is a wreck.

Everett, come here. Come here.

[Ava] Sometimes you can't save someone
from themselves.

Everett, someone put their hand
on my back.

And in the context of a competition game,
why would you?

-[Kayla] Ava, are you licking?
-No, I have nothing to reach.

-[Kayla] Get down on the ground.
-[Ava] No, I can't reach anything.

[Ava] This is my opportunity
to take her out.

[Kayla] Keep going, Ava.

[Tatum] Everybody look around.
Everybody look around.

-[Sasha] I got an A!
-[Tatum] Go! Go! Go!

All we need is four letters,

but this challenge is so hard.

I'm freaking out.

If they lose four against seven, dude.

Come on, Tatum.

-[Willy Wonka] Team Hard…
-[Tatum] Come on. We got it.

…and Team Hardest.

[Kayla] Where else to look, even?

[Willy Wonka]
You both have one more letter each.

Lick like your tour depends on it.

[Everett] Oh my God.

[Kayla] We just have one more.

Ava, Shawn, you're licking away?

-I'm licking.
-[Kayla] Good! Let's go!

[Jackson] Come on, bruh.

[Austin] Come on, guys.

-[Tatum] Guys, we're still in it!
-[Sasha] Ah! I got it. I got it.

-[Jeff] Got it?
-[Sasha] It's an H!

-[chimes]
-[Jeff] Yes! We got it.

[Tatum] We got it.
"Unscramble letters to solve word."

-[Jeff] H-A-R-D.
-[Tatum] H-A-R-D. Whoo!

-[Garrison] We got it!
-Whoo!

-[Ziad] Let's go!
-[Bryce] Yeah!

-[Kayla] Keep going. Do not give up.
-[Everett] Yeah.

[buzzer blaring]

[Kayla] We're done. We're done. All right.

[music crashes]

-[Ziad] Let's go!
-[Austin] Let's go!

-[all cheering]
-[Ziad] Turn it out!

-[Bryce] Okay, Garrison!
-[Garrison chuckling] Oh my God!

-[Kellye crying]
-[Tatum chuckling]

I am so relieved
that my mom and I are safe.

[all cheering]

I thought I was going home today,
or I was losing my mom.

[Ziad] That's right, baby!

[Willy Wonka] Team Hard and Team Harder,
congratulations.

You are safe from termination.

[cheering and whooping]

[Ziad] That's what I like to see.

[Willy Wonka] Team Hardest, unfortunately,
your result has a bitter end.

-[softly] Oh my God.
-Your team captain is terminated.

Let's go, baby! Good job.

[Ziad] My plan to take Kayla out
of the tour is finally happening.

[Willy Wonka] But that's not it, boss.

Like all bad leaders,

someone will have to take the fall
with you.

[Austin] Wow.

-[Kellye] What?
-[Sasha] Wow.

-[Austin] She is a diabolical, dude.
-[Sasha] Wow.

[Willy Wonka] Kayla, you must now choose
between Ava, Everett, Shawn, and Hunter.

You have five minutes to decide,
or they'll all be terminated.

Starting now.

[tense music playing]

What Ziad did was shady.

I'm out of the game because of him.

Now I'm in a position where I have to pick
somebody to be terminated with me.

And I'm picking amongst people who

are the only people in this factory
that I have actual, real trust with.

There is no fair way
to make this decision.

All four of y'all have been key people
supporting both me and my dad

throughout this entire thing.

[tearfully] Sorry, this is so hard.

[Hunter] That's it. It's going to be me.

Why else would Kayla not come after me?

I literally just took out her dad
in Bubble Jeopardy!

[music crashes]

The only way I can try
to make a fair decision

is to give each of you here

the best chance
to have some skin in this game.

Because of that,

I'm gonna leave you two out of this,
since you're here by yourselves

and don't have a partner
and nobody to fight with you.

This leaves a choice
between Shawn and Ava,

two people who I fully trust.

[Jeff] Unbelievable.

-Oh my gosh.
-Oh my God.

-[Garrison] Yo.
-You are out of your mind.

[dramatic music playing]

[Ziad] She's a menace.

You're not gonna keep my mom?
It's crazy work.

[Shawn] Can I have a moment
to talk to you for a second?

[Kayla] Yeah.

[Shawn] I just want to let you know
that you were never on my radar at all.

[Kayla sniffling]

[Shawn] I try to be as fair as possible.

And my mom's very sick.

If that means anything to you,
and I gotta help her.

I'm ready to retire,
and I have to keep working.

[Kayla] Thank you.
I'm gonna listen to Ava as well.

Ava, do you wanna say anything?

[Ava] I wanna stay so bad.

[Ava breathes shakily]

I'm not somebody that needs to hear

a sob story or whatever to get me.

That's not me.

But I do…

It is important to me
that I know why everybody is here.

[Ava] I need to do whatever I can
to get her not to pick me.

It's a performance.

Yeah, everything is calculated.

You and I really bonded

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

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

I'm just gonna trust in you
and your decision.

[dramatic music continues]

It would seem that Ava just promised Kayla

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

So, you're her… her dad.

-She's fighting for her life.
-I know you--

-She's not team Kayla.
-[Ziad] I'm just gonna tell you that.

-She's not team Kayla by any imagination.
-[Ziad] I hear you.

This is about who I think can go on
and have a chance of winning it,

potentially without their partner.

I can do it with or without him.
I'm begging you.

Please do not send me home
under these circumstances.

Please, Kayla.

Based on the conversations
before with Kayla,

my hopes are up.

I don't think my mom's going home.

She said that she would look out for her,

and I just hope
she's standing on her word.

[music intensifies]

[Willy Wonka] Time's up, Kayla.

Who have you chosen?

[Kayla inhales deeply]

Shawn, I'm gonna have to take you with me.

[dramatic sting]

-[Ziad] No!
-[Garrison] She picked my mom?

[Kellye] Yep, she did.

[Garrison] That's crazy work.

[somber music playing]

[Willy Wonka] Ava, Hunter, Everett.

It's time for you to return
to the chocolate room.

-[Everett] Oh my God.
-[Ava] Thank you, Kay.

Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.

Thank you.

[Kayla] I think that Garrison's got
a better chance than Jeff.

If they're alone.

So, I choose to keep Ava safe.

I see Ava as a younger version of myself.

She's a little less controlled
and a little less refined

in the way she goes about getting her way.

But she's gonna make sure
she gets her way.

[Everett] I'm sorry you have to do this.

I'm so sorry.

[Shawn] It's all right.

I just don't think it's fair, you know.

[exhales softly]

Three million dollars is a lot of money

for… for, like, a split decision
that Kayla made.

[Willy Wonka] Kayla and Shawn,

your tour is about to end.

What a crushing fate.

[alarm blaring]

This is the worst possible way
I could be leaving this competition.

[gears shifting and grinding]

[dramatic music playing]

[Shawn] I'm just a teacher, you know?

[Garrison] I'm about to crash out.

[grinding and shifting continue]

[Shawn] I wish you wouldn't have picked me
for your team, Kayla.

-[metal clangs]
-[steam hisses]

[squeaks and squelches]

[whimsical music playing]

Kayla is gone.

The plan…

[blows a kiss]

…is done.

The maestro has won.

[wind whooshing]

[indistinct chatter]

-[Jeff] What a day. That was crazy.
-[Kellye] I lived.

[Bryce] Hey, Garrison.

-Hey, bro.
-[Garrison] It's on.

My mom should've been left.
She should've been here with me right now.

[Garrison sniffing]

It's extremely hard

to see her leave like this.

Bro, you have no idea.

[exhales deeply]

[Ziad] You're good, bro. Let's just…
Look, bro, let yourself feel, bro.

You got a lot more ahead of you.

And if you hide this in,
you're not gonna get through it.

Like, don't, let yourself feel--

[Garrison sniffling]

[tearfully] Bro, I'm not even here for me.

[Hunter] Nah, bro, I already know.

[Garrison] I'm not even here for me.

She proved to everyone…

[sniffles]

…that you can be a good person.

[inhales deeply]

The person that never gives up.

[exhales deeply]

I don't know
what Ava has said to make her stay,

but whatever it is,
it's nowhere near what my mom shared.

Ave. We're both…

We're both here.

[voice quavers] To see a 63-year-old woman
work as hard as she did

in that competition…

[sniffles]

…to show me how much she wanted to be here

to win this money for us.

[sobs] For her family.

[Hunter] I feel bad for Garrison.

Garrison was really fighting
for his family.

I am the only one

who has had to navigate this game
by myself since day one.

When I lost Moon, you just feel alone.

Hunter, you've had so many moments
where it looks like you're going home.

-Crazy stuff.
-I'm a cat with 20 lives.

I genuinely don't know
how I've been able to get by

these narrow terminations
where it was absolutely imminent.

Why else would Kayla not come after me?

I literally just took out her dad
in Bubble Jeopardy!

-I can't believe she didn't do you in.
-Oh, me either.

She's the only one
that had a legit reason.

-[Hunter] Yeah.
-It went your way.

You might have a lot of lives left.

[Hunter] My brother, Moon, is gone.

But I'm playing for the both of us.
I'm coming to win now.

[eerie music playing]

[laughing maniacally]

[music chimes and shimmers]

[Kellye exclaims excitedly]

[Bryce] Oh!

Oh, I've never had anything
like this before.

[Bryce] Oh my God.

[Tatum] Oh my God.

Uh, "Dear Kellye, my pageant queen."

"Well done as the winning team." Ah.

-It rhymes. How nice.
-[Jackson] Whoo!

"Captain in Lickable Wallpaper."

"Congratulations
on your crowning achievement."

-Yay!
-Yay!

"To celebrate, you'll receive an advantage
in the next factory test."

-[all] Ooh!
-[Tatum] Wow.

Plus, this crown.

[cheers and applause]

[Kellye softly] Okay.

-[girls giggle]
-[soft whistling]

-[applause]
-[Jackson] Wow.

-[Bryce] Whoa.
-[Hunter] Beautiful.

-[Tatum] My mom was Miss America.
-[all exclaim]

-[Hunter] Oh.
-[Ava] Wow.

[Kellye] So I have worn a crown before.

I was Miss America in 1987.

And now,
you are looking at the first ever…

[inhales deeply]

…Miss Confectionery.

[softly] Thank you.

Look. "Love, Wonka."

[all exclaiming]

Maybe you could find
and bring him out from, uh, hiding here.

-You know, I'll do my best.
-[laughter]

Ziad put me in a position

where I had to compete
against my daughter, Tatum,

with the possibility
of one of us being terminated.

I still feel like
it was the wrong decision.

-[Ziad] Congratulations, Kellye.
-Oh, thank you.

[Kellye] But you know what?

I've never had an advantage in a game,
so I'm pretty excited.

What the advantage is, who knows?

Maybe I could pay Ziad back.

[ethereal music playing]

-[microphone static]
-[Willy Wonka] My dear guests,

after such a lick-tacular day,

I am offering a sweet reward.

-[Sasha] Oh my gosh!
-[Austin] Oh my God, no way.

-[Tatum] What's happening?
-[Sasha] Oh, Tatum, Tatum.

[Ava] What is it?

Is this ice cream? [squeals]

[all cheering]

[Austin] You said it.

[Ava squealing excitedly]

-[Ava] Ice cream!
-[Austin] Oh.

[Ava] Yay!

It has been a crazy few days,

and we need this ice cream so bad.

[Gabrielle] "The good thing about food
is you don't just eat it."

"You can play with it too."

"Just for fun and to mellow out,
some marshmallow games."

"Get into pairs, stack them as high
as you can, stuff as many in your mouth,

and try to say Oompa-Loompa."

"sh**t marshmallows
into each other's mouths."

[laughter]

[Hunter] So, each marshmallow is a level.

No matter how wide it is, only the height.

We're having fun playing games.
We're building marshmallow castles.

-[Hunter] Ooh!
-[Gabrielle shrieks] Got this!

[Ava and Gabrielle] Yeah!

We're putting marshmallows in our mouths.

Oompa-Loompa.

[laughter]

[Hunter] But you never know
what Wonka has in store for us.

-[muffled] Oompa-Loompa.
-[Gabrielle] Oh!

-[Jackson] I'm expecting the unexpected.
-[Ziad] Go.

[laughter]

But, finally!

Some fun and games in the house!

Go for him!

♪ Who can take a sunrise… ♪

[Kellye] Go again!

♪ Sprinkle it with dew ♪

♪ Sprinkle it with dew ♪

♪ Cover it with chocolate
And a miracle or two ♪

♪ The candy man ♪

♪ The candy man ♪

♪ Oh, the candy man can… ♪

[loud slurp]

[beeps]

[squeaking]

[water spraying]

[squeaking]

[gears grinding and shifting]

[whimsical music playing]

[faint whirring and humming]

-[machine powers up]
-[steam hissing]

[whimsical flute music]

-[Ziad] Was that a smart move? No.
-[loud gasp]

-[Sasha] Oh.
-[Ziad] Well, there it is.

-[Ziad] There it is.
-[Jackson] I called it.

[Gabrielle] I don't like this.

[Sasha chuckles]

-[Ava] Oh, it's the queen!
-[Everett] Oh, it's my fave!

-Yes.
-Yeah!

[Hunter] Hey! How are you?

-[Sasha] Queen!
-[Everett chuckles]

-[Jackson] Oh my God, yes.
-[exclaiming]

-[Tatum] Let's go!
-[Austin] Let's do it.

[Bryce] Here it is.

[Kellye] Wonder where we're going.

-[Ziad] Going to the Wonkavator.
-Going to the Wonkavator.

[Tatum chuckling]

[Sasha] "Going up?
Some of you are going down."

Uh-oh.

-[clock strikes]
-[door rumbles]

[Hunter] Ooh! Ooh!

[all exclaiming]

[Hunter] Back to the Wonkavator.

-Here we go.
-[Kellye] Oh.

-[girls] Oh!
-[Kellye] That's our day.

[loud thud]

[Everett] I don't like elevators.

[Willy Wonka] Welcome back
to the Wonkavator.

Today you'll be going to
never-before-seen floors of the factory.

-Oh!
-[Sasha] Oh, new…

[Willy Wonka] At each floor,
a select number of guests

will leave the Wonkavator to play games,

which will test either skill,

strategy,

loyalty,

or precision.

To get back onto the Wonkavator,
you must complete the test

and win one of the floor's gold key cards.

[all exclaiming]

If you don't get a gold key card,
you cannot reenter the Wonkavator

and you will be terminated.

[dramatic music playing]

[Everett] Someone's going down today.

It better not be me.

[Taylor] I'm feeling anxious.

Wonka is for sure taking it up a gear.

[Willy Wonka] Kellye,
your advantage is choosing four guests

to get off at our first stop,

the stacking room.

You may even choose yourself.

[Kellye sighs]

Remember, one of the four
will be terminated.

This first challenge is called stacking,
but there are more challenges,

so obviously everyone is gonna have
to be chosen at some point.

Everyone is going
to have to be at risk for termination.

All right, stackers.

I see this advantage from Wonka
as an advantage with a sting.

I have some power.

[music swells]

[Kellye] Ziad,
you're going to be a stacker.

[music surges]

Ziad put me on the chopping block
by putting me against my daughter.

I want him out.

[Ziad] Game on, baby.
You better watch out, Miss America.

She got that old-school hate
for me right now.

-Yeah.
-For sure.

So we'll… we'll have to deal
with that target.

[female announcer] Kellye,
when you have made your decision,

please enter your selection.

-[dings]
-[Kellye] All right.

-Does anyone else want to stack?
-I'll go.

I put my hand up because I'm ready…
I'm ready to start.

I wanna go get a gold card.

[dings]

-[Gabrielle] I stacked well.
-[Kellye] Okay.

Last night, we were playing games
with marshmallows,

and I did really well at one of the games,

which was stacking the marshmallows
on top of each other.

So I'm just praying that
maybe it has something to do with that.

[Hunter] As soon as I hear stacking room…

I'll go. That's fine.

I'm a builder. So if it's anything
with stacking or building something,

I know I'm gonna do this,
and this'll be the easiest test I've done.

I know I'll get the golden key card.

-[dings]
-[Wonkavator rumbles]

[female voice] Going up.

-[Kellye] Oh!
-[Gabrielle] Okay.

-[Austin] Here we go.
-It's gonna be fun. Let's have fun.

-[Hunter] Stack 'em. Stack 'em.
-Let's have fun.

[Hunter] It's going up. Oh!

Oh. It's going way up.

[Ziad] Oh whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.

-Why are we going so high?
-[Austin] Oh.

[clock strikes]

[female voice] You have arrived
at the stacking room. Good luck.

-[Ziad] Let's go, baby.
-[Hunter] All right.

-[Ziad] Oh.
-[Hunter] Oh my God.

-[Ziad] Oh!
-[Gabrielle] Oh!

-[Hunter] You're kidding me.
-[Ziad] What is happening?

[machine powers up]

[Ziad] Yo.

-[Austin] Love you four. See you soon!
-[Sasha] You got this, Gab!

[dramatic music playing]

-[Ziad chuckles]
-[Hunter] You're kidding.

[whimsical music playing]

-[Gabrielle] All right.
-The Everlasting Gobstoppers.

[Ziad] There they are.

[music intensifies]

-[Jackson clears throat]
-All right.

[static on TV]

[female announcer]
Welcome to the stacking room.

Home of the newly redesigned
Everlasting Gobstopper 2.0

ready for shipping.

You have to successfully stack and pack
six Everlasting Gobstoppers

to claim a golden key card.

Should your stack tumble, begin again.

Once stacked, push the button.

Claim your gold key card,
and return to the Wonkavator.

The first to finish
decides who competes on the next floor.

The last person to stack and package
their Gobstoppers

will be terminated from the tour.

Oh boy.

I'm solo now,
so I'm doing everything for Poppy.

Everything is for him at this point.

[Hunter] I've had no partner in this game
since day one.

Since my brother was terminated
from the competition,

I've had to push, I've had to work.

I'm playing for the both of us.
I have to win to secure my own safety.

[tense music playing]

[female announcer]
Start your packaging in three, two, one.

Go.

[dramatic music playing]

I'm a builder. So this is coming from
someone who builds houses

and works in construction
every single day.

But…

[Gobstopper clatters]

…this is not construction 101.

These pieces go against
every construction material

I've ever used.

They're all weird shapes
and sizes and weights.

There's some serious code violations

of trying to build
with Everlasting Gobstoppers.

My strategy for this game,
as soon as I'm looking at the Gobstoppers,

I'm trying to analyze
which ways I can stack them.

It's more of a puzzle

than it is just stacking
and trying to figure it out.

[Jackson] There's three million
on the line,

a lifetime supply of money.

I gotta stack these Gobstoppers right now.

[dramatic music playing]

-[Gobstoppers clatter]
-No.

[Ziad softly] Stay focused, focused.

Bro.

[Gabrielle] I'm realizing
I'm gonna have to stack them in a way that

I might have to counterbalance
a little bit

so that one of them
is not pointing directly up.

[music surges]

[quirky music playing]

[Gabrielle] Everything's aligning.

I'm the only woman in here.

I'm feeling so empowered right now.

[tense music playing]

-[loud thud]
-[whirring]

[clanks]

-[Hunter] Go, Gabby.
-Nice, Gab.

[female announcer]
Gobstopper packaging complete.

Please collect your card.

[squealing]

Two gold key cards remaining.

-[Austin] Good job, Gab.
-[Sasha gasps]

[Gabrielle and Kellye exclaim in relief]

-[Everett] Oh my gosh.
-She's back. She got in. She got in.

[Austin] Gabrielle's the first one
through the door,

and I'm stoked for her.

But part of me knows that's one less spot
for Ziad to come out of here.

I'm nervous.

No!

[Ziad] Do you know how hard it is

when you have five Everlasting Gobstoppers
stacked in front of you,

and you're trying
to gracefully put on this sixth one,

and your entire body is shaking like this?

[soft ding]

Go, Z.

[tense music playing]

[machine whirring]

[Ziad shouts] Let's go!

Get me out of here! Get me out of here!

-[Gabrielle] Oh, Z.
-[Everett] Oh no.

Oh my, I was shaking so much, dude.

Oh my gosh. The partners came back.

[female announcer]
One gold key card remaining.

-[Jackson] How you doing?
-Bro, I don't know how this works.

Yeah, I'm lost. I'm pretty lost.

There's only one card left,
and it's between me and Jackson.

Phew!

-Bro, what is this?
-I don't know.

[Hunter] Me and Jackson,
we've gone through a lot.

For the majority of people in the house,
they haven't lost their partner, like us.

It's really hard to go against Jackson.

It's either him or I. That's it.

It's a lose-lose situation.

[soft chime]

[Jackson] We are friends.

I don't wanna see him go. [inhales deeply]

And I don't want myself to go.
So there's no easy path now.

It sucks.

[tense music continues]

[Gobstoppers clatter]

[Hunter] Oh man.

[whimsical music playing]
