Coach, Ozzy, and Q battled in the Fight for Supplies. Coach and Ozzy cleared the air on their 15-year South Pacific beef — then Coach promptly snatched the key right out of Ozzy's hands after Ozzy did all the heavy lifting. "I will be cutthroat AND honorable. This is Coach 4.0," he declared. Ozzy and Q were banished to Exile Island. At Exile, Q traded his vote for tribe supplies while Ozzy snagged an Extra Vote — and kept it secret from everyone except Cirie.

Q told Mike he had an extra vote while secretly holding none at all. It was classic Q television, but strategically it was a mess, and once Mike clocked the lie the door swung open for a blindside that felt almost inevitable.

With Vatu back at Tribal for the third straight time, the tribe had to choose between living with chaos or cutting it loose. They chose the cleaner road, sending Q out while Stephanie was left stranded on the wrong side of the numbers.

Vatu walked into Tribal Council for the third consecutive time with Q holding no vote — he'd already lost it in an earlier twist. Sensing the walls closing in, he tried to shield Stephanie by redirecting attention, then escalated into a full bluff, telling Mike he had an extra vote.

Mike took that information, weighed it against everything he'd seen, and read Q as bluffing. The DvG majority locked in on Q as the safer cut — volatile, voteless, and now caught in a lie. Emily sided with the majority to secure her own position.

Stephanie threw a lone vote at Angelina, but the rest of the tribe sent Q home 4-1. No idols played. No Shot in the Dark. Vatu chose stability over chaos, and Q's all-winners run ended at Episode 3.
