Paula states she doesn't even feel like anyone could win the next Face-off except Evelyn, and fears that Johnny's key will be taken. Kenny also fears his key will be taken from him.

The alliance decides that they will keep sending Johnny in until he gets a key again.

Evelyn says the reason she and KellyAnne are picked on by Johnny are because they are the only people who stand up for themselves. Another drop-off arrives, and the islanders are disgruntled when they discover it contains no meat, but only vegetables and eggs.

Paula, Evelyn, and Ashli contemplate putting themselves into the next Face-off, but Evelyn thinks Johnny's alliance will keep her from competing in one because they think she's a strong competitor.
