Lisa and Michael are back communing with God, and explaining to Him that they don’t understand why it was His will that Malcolm should win immunity. Because these contests never come down to who’s the most physically and mentally capable. Michael reassures Lisa that God must have something waiting for them at the final four stage. Well, something special for one of them. Anyway, it is either Abi or Carter tonight.

Malcolm and Michael have a conversation about how no one wants to vote out Carter, which means that they both totally do but neither of them wants to be the one to say it first. Carter comes up “Am I interrupting?” and they both admit that they were talking about him and yes, maybe even considering voting Carter out. Michael says that there are thousands of reasons to vote out Abi, but the only thing against Carter is that he's a threat, so you can tell that outweighs all those thousands of reasons. Carter plays a bold card: “I believe that out of respect for the game, you’ll keep me around." Michael says “I respect your gameplay," which is code for “I’m voting for you."

Carter has an interview where he rightly points out that all anyone has talked about for the last few weeks is playing with people who “deserve to be there." He says the people in the final four alliance are “four stand-up people” while Abi has been a big old meanie, so he’s trusting them to make the decision. What he should be saying is “I’m Carter, a big old dummy. I’m not a strategic player. How many morons on the jury are going to vote for me in the final Tribal Council?”

Everyone is back at camp, and Denise leads a conversation about who has not had their name written down. It’s Lisa, Carter and Michael. Abi, who either has no sense or has decided to annoy everyone so much that they are reminded how she would do in a final Tribal Council, makes a list of everyone who voted for her. She also calls out Lisa for voting for her earlier, saying “you seemed very close to me, but maybe you were trying to get information. All part of the game, though." This continues into Abi saying Lisa was all, “my word is worth more than a million dollars” but now it's all different, as though Lisa should have remained loyal to her no matter what.

Denise eventually says “is there any way we can let this conversation rest?” Abi: “Easy for you to say, you’re in the final four.” Denise protests, but Abi will have none of it – she will just have to play her “hidden immunity idol” wink wink.

Malcolm interviews that since the beginning, they have been trying to get rid of Abi, who is a “soul-sucker” and like “a Dementor." Do Dementors demand grovelling apologies from their enemies? Lisa also interviews that at the beginning she tried to be kind and understanding, but now it’s “officially over” and she is “at the point of not caring." Poor Carter. Michael is wondering to the group what Abi’s mother is like. Because fathers don’t do anything but raise the “greatest human beings they know." And Denise repeats the thing that whatever Abi is, “it’s not cultural, it’s personality... It’s this histrionic, dramatic, passive-aggressive, martyr... it's not cultural... it’s a culture of Abi."
