Summary
Highlights
Jack begins to malfunction, leading the contestants to discover a note explaining he needs a new body. While many are skeptical about helping someone who previously put them in danger, they decide that fixing him is necessary to save the eliminated contestants.
The teams hunt for supplies and begin the construction process. Needing a judge for their creations, they encounter a new character named Healey and eventually convince her to take on the role despite some initial resistance.
Disagreements erupt among the teams, with some discussing abandoning the show entirely. Individuals like Craneflower struggle with asserting themselves, while others deal with the emotional toll of past eliminations and the dangerous environment of the competition.
Teams rush to finish constructing the body before the deadline. Chaos ensues as they test their designs under pressure and deal with missing equipment, leading up to the final evaluation by the judge.
After a team is declared the winner of the challenge, the contestants successfully install Jack's CPU into the new body, though they must now patiently wait for it to fully integrate and respond.
