Episode 2

Someone's Going to Pay Dearly

Day 4

Tributes Tribe

"Well, that was easy," Marvel remarks.

"Beating those guys is going to be really easy," Cato adds. "We're ready for anything – whether it be killing each other, or winning these silly challenges. Just look at us, we're in great shape."

He eyes up Glimmer as he says this, and she smiles back at him. Clove looks on with jealousy.

"That was only one challenge," Peeta comments. "These guys won't go down that easily."

"Says who, lover boy?" Clove retorts. "Maybe you outlying district people are scared of them, but I think they're going to be a cinch to defeat."

"They brought back past victors in an attempt to defeat us Careers, but it's of no use," Clove says. "With our training, we can't be brought down, and it'll show."

"The Careers are getting a bit overconfident, and it's going to lead to their downfall," Peeta says.

Later on, Rue and Thresh talk with Katniss and Peeta.

"We've got to stick together," Rue declares. "As long as we four don't turn on each other, we'll be just fine."

"We just need one more person to make our alliance secure," Thresh adds.

"Who would that be?" Peeta asks.

"Foxface," Thresh replies.

"I'd like to make an alliance with Foxface, but she seems like one who would backstab us," Katniss states.

"We have to take that chance," Thresh responds. "She's unlikely to choose the careers over us."

"I have no reason to believe that Foxface would want to be around the Careers, considering how much she's staying away from everyone to begin with," Thresh says. "Getting her on our side is the first step to defeating the Careers."

Victors Tribe

The Victors are still stunned over their loss in the previous challenge.

"How did we lose? How was that possible?" Finnick wonders.

"I'll tell you how it was possible!" Johanna retorts. "It was that useless old woman Hags, or whatever her name was! You thought she was soooo important to us, and she blew it for us!"

"Well, that's it! No more losing for us anymore!" Finnick exclaims. "We had one downfall, and that'll be our only one."

"Thanks to Johanna, my entire alliance is in danger now, as is even she," Finnick says. "No matter how weak Mags was, we had to stick with the alliance in order to stay safe, and Johanna didn't do that."

"The one who's messing up our whole tribe is Finnick," Johanna says. "He thinks he knows best, when he clearly doesn't. He's going to get us all voted off pretty soon."

The Careers in the tribe walk out into the wooded area, where they have a discussion with one another.

"They almost got me out last time," Enobaria complains. "We can't let that happen again."

"They're going to try their best," Brutus explains. "But the goal is to stick together no matter what."

"No matter what?" Gloss replies. "What happens if we end up in a tie?"

"Then we vote again," Brutus responds.

"And afterward?"

"Then it goes to a purple rock tiebreaker," Cashmere breaks in. "Caesar told us all about it before the game, but perhaps you weren't listening. All the people besides the ones who are tied in the vote pull out a rock. If it's purple, you go home."

"Wow, that's so unfair," Gloss remarks.

"It may be, but that's the Capitol's way of preventing ties," Cashmere explains.

"It doesn't matter, we've got to stay united no matter what, even if there's a chance one of us goes home," Brutus states. "Maybe we get Johanna on our side."

"Not a chance," Enobaria complains.

"Hey, she did join us for the last vote, whether she realizes it or not."

"All this talk about a double tie and a purple rock are making me wish these were just the normal Hunger Games," Enobaria says. "This other stuff is way too complicated. I'd rather just go out and kill my opponents!"

"What is more important than anything else at this stage in the game is for us Careers to stick together," Brutus says. "If we don't do that, then none of us have any chance of winning this game."

Day 5

Tributes Tribe

Cato continues flirting with Glimmer, making Clove all the more jealous every time she looks at them.

"You know, I just love your hair," Cato tells Glimmer. "It's so… so…"

"Oh, shut up," Glimmer laughs back.

Clove merely stares at the two.

"If I was allowed, I'd just go and slit Glimmer's throat right now," she says. "But perhaps I'll have to do that in a more non-violent fashion."

So Clove goes over to talk to Katniss and Peeta.

"What's this? A Career talking to us lowly people from District 12?" Peeta jokes.

"Be quiet and listen to me," Clove snaps. "I want to end this Cato and Glimmer thing before it buds into anything else."

"Well, we can't just go over there and kill them…" Katniss replies.

"That's not what I mean!" Clove exclaims. "I want you to help me by voting Glimmer off in the next vote!"

Katniss and Peeta look at each other, then Peeta smiles at Clove.

"I think we're all in for that plan," he tells her.

"You better be," Clove replies. "Because if it isn't her, it's you!"

"I hope those two from District 12 realize their place in this tribe," Clove says. "It's to help us Careers accomplish what we want, not for them to get anything for themselves."

"Clove thinks she's going to push us around, just because we're from District 12," Peeta says. "But she's going to have a big surprise coming, when we fight back against the Careers. We aren't going to be used as pawns."

Victors Tribe

The tribe has split up to get food, with the Careers looking to kill small animals, while Finnick goes fishing with Beetee and Wiress. Johanna, however, insists on picking berries.

"Why do you get to do the easy work?" Wiress complains.

"Just shut up and let me do what I please!" Johanna snaps back.

As Johanna goes looking for berries near the stream, she finds something shiny on hidden in a bush. She pulls it out, along with a piece of paper attached to it.

"'This is an immunity mockingjay pin," she reads. "Use it before the votes are read at any Tribal Council to cancel out all votes against you. You may use it yourself or give it to anyone else.'"

She stares at it for a moment, checking to see if it is genuine.

"Well, it can't hurt to keep this around, whether this is a trick being played by Finnick or what," she says. "Who would use a mockingjay as an important symbol? Seems like a pretty useless bird to me."

She pockets the pin and goes along picking berries. After she is finished, she returns to the other players.

"Johanna picked some berries for us," Cashmere announces. "Let's just hope they aren't nightlock!"

Everyone laughs at Johanna's expense, who simply remains silent with an evil grin on her face.

"If this pin is for real, then someone's going to pay dearly," she says. "This might actually be fun."

Day 6

Victors Tribe

That morning, the Victors receive a parachute to their camp.

"What is it?" asks Gloss.

"It's a note that tells us that we'll be having an immunity challenge later today," Enobaria explains.

"Well, this time there's no chance we're losing," Brutus states. "No old woman to hold us back!"

"I'll be shocked if we lose this challenge today," Brutus says. "After a little mishap with the old woman last time, we got upset, but it won't happen again."

Immunity Challenge

"Come on in, guys!" Caesar Flickerman shouts.

The two tribes march into the immunity challenge area.

"First things first, I will take back the immunity idol."

Katniss hands over the statue of Snow to Caesar.

"Thank you. Once again, immunity is back up for grabs. On my go, your entire tribe will race across this long course that has been set up for you here. You will first climb up a large hill, navigate your way across some rocks, run through the field, then make your way up on top of the Cornucopia. The first tribe to have all its members on top of the Cornucopia wins immunity and is safe from tonight's vote. Tributes, you've got one extra member, so you have to sit someone out. Who's it gonna be?"

The Tributes discuss it with each other, and Cato argues with Thresh over who should sit out.

"Sit out Foxface," Thresh argues.

"No, it should be Rue!" Cato replies.

After a bit of discussion, the Tributes come to a conclusion.

"We'll sit out Foxface," Cato tells Caesar begrudgingly.

"Foxface? And who would that be?" Caesar asks.

Foxface raises her hand, then silently walks over next to Caesar.

"Very well then, I was not aware that you were going by that nickname. In any case, I'll give you a moment to strategize, and then we'll get started."

Both tribes walk over to the starting line, talking a little bit about their ideas for how to go about the course.

"For immunity! Survivors ready? Go!"

The Careers immediately lead the way up the big hill. Thresh tries helping Rue up the hill, but Rue needs no such help, as she easily climbs it without a problem. Peeta pulls Katniss up with him, and within a short time, the Tributes are all up the hill.

"A nice start for the Tributes!" Caesar shouts.

While the Careers as well as Johanna Mason have been able to get up the hill quite easily for the Victors, Finnick has had to stay back to help up the older Beetee and Wiress.

"Come on, Nuts and Volts!" Johanna yells. "Keep up with us!"

Finally all the Victors are up the hill, and they begin their chase of the Tributes across the rocks, which lie perilously across a stream of water. Just as it looks as if the Victors are about to catch up, Wiress slips on a rock, with Beetee catching her before she falls into the water.

"Keep going! Keep going!" Johanna screams, even as Finnick tries to pace the older Victors.

Despite their best efforts, the Tributes find themselves unable to hold onto their lead, partially because Peeta seems to be going a bit slower than the rest of the tribe. With Katniss slowing herself down enough to keep up with Peeta, this allows the Victors to make a full recovery.

"Both tribes are now across the stream! It's now just a run to the Cornucopia, and of course the climb!" Caesar announces.

The tribes run neck-and-neck all the way to the Cornucopia, where the climb begins.

"Get up! Get up!" Marvel yells.

Marvel and Cato are the first two up for the Tributes, while Finnick and Johanna climb up first for the Victors. Cato then reaches down to pull up one of the female Careers. Clove fights Glimmer to grab Cato's hand, but Cato reaches over Clove and pulls Glimmer up the horn of plenty. Reluctantly, Clove takes Marvel's hand as she makes the climb.

"These tribes are so close, it's anyone's game right now!" Caesar announces.

Rue climbs up along with Thresh, while the Careers of the Victors make their way up, leaving only two behind for each tribe. Cato and Thresh reach together to pull Katniss up, as Gloss and Brutus pull up Beetee. Then it's a race between Peeta and Wiress to get on the Cornucopia first.

"This is tight…"

Suddenly Wiress slips out of Gloss's reach, and she goes crashing to the ground. Meanwhile, Peeta safely reaches the top.

"Tributes win immunity!"

Before the Tributes can even celebrate, Johanna shoves Gloss hard, out of sheer anger. Finnick grabs Gloss before he falls off the edge, then gives Johanna a glare.

"Let's not start anything," he tells her.

Meanwhile, the Tributes begin celebrating. Clove tries to hug Cato, but she is pushed away by Glimmer, who embraces Cato warmly. Katniss and Peeta wave happily from the Cornucopia to Foxface, who waves back happily from her seat next to Caesar.

"Tributes, this is for you," Caesar announces, bringing over the statue of President Snow to Thresh and handing it to him.

"Congratulations, you are safe from another Tribal Council. You can head back to camp."

The Tributes continue celebrating as they walk on back towards their camp.

"As for you, Victors, I got nothing for you. I'll see you tonight for Tribal Council."

The Victors take the walk of shame back to their camp.

"As far as I'm concerned, we have too many old people on this tribe," Johanna says. "Send them all home, then maybe we'll have a chance."

Victors Tribe

Finnick and Johanna have a talk after the challenge about who to vote out.

"What is wrong with this tribe?" Finnick wonders. "I thought we were all Victors here."

"Were being the key word," Johanna retorts. "Nuts & Volts are too old to be of any good use to us anymore. They've got to go next."

"I disagree," Finnick states. "We need to keep them as part of an alliance. We four vote against their four."

"And what happens in case of a tie?" Johanna wonders.

"Then we vote again," Finnick replies.

"And then what?" Johanna continues.

"Well, if it's still tied, all the people who aren't tied pull out rocks," Finnick explains. "The one who gets the purple rock loses."

"Sounds like a pretty stupid way to decide who goes home to me," Johanna comments.

"Well, that's the way it works," Finnick states.

"There's no way I'm risking my life in this game on the color of a rock," Johanna says. "Finnick is crazy if he thinks I'm doing that."

Tribal Council

(Victors)

The Victors tribe walks into the Tribal Council area with their torches ablaze. They set them in their designated place, before sitting down to face Caesar.

"Let me tell you, I am disappointed in you all," Caesar states. "I expected you Victors to be mopping the floor with the newbies. But instead, it's you who find yourselves on the losing end for the second straight time."

"It's not all of us who are performing miserably," Johanna replies. "Just… some of us."

"And who would that be?"

"Nuts & Volts over here," Johanna says as she points to Beetee and Wiress.

"So you're saying that Beetee and Wiress are the weak links of your tribe?"

"That's right. They're old, they're useless."

"I object to that!" Wiress exclaims.

"Oh, so an argument here?" Caesar wonders.

"Yes, I am very useful in making things for the tribe," Wiress states.

"Name one thing you've made for us!" Johanna breaks in. "And 'trouble' doesn't count!"

"Don't you remember the first challenge, when I helped build the contraption?" Wiress asks. "Beetee and I both are very good at building things. I think your anger should lie at the feet of one Gloss."

Gloss suddenly raises his eyebrows.

"So now Wiress is calling you out, Gloss," Caesar states. "What do you have to say for yourself?"

"I'm totally shocked," Gloss responds. "I don't know what I did wrong."

"Admit it, you didn't get a good grip of Wiress, and that's why she fell," Johanna tells Gloss, before Wiress can even say a word. "Isn't that right, Nuts?"

"That's exactly right," Wiress adds. "If Gloss had done a better job pulling me up, we would have won this challenge, and we wouldn't be here."

"So it sounds like the blame lies between two players here, and neither of you wants to take responsibility," Caesar states. "Very interesting."

"I say just make them both go home," Johanna suggests. "That would be fine with me."

Several of the tributes get a chuckle at Johanna's suggestion.

"We take things one vote at a time in this game," Caesar says with a laugh. "There's no killing off as many as you want at once here. But you are about to have your say in who goes home this time, as it is time to vote. Beetee, you're up first."

The Capitol Anthem "Horn of Plenty" plays as the players go to vote.

Beetee goes to vote.

Brutus goes to vote.

Cashmere goes to vote.

Enobaria goes to vote.

Finnick goes to vote.

Gloss goes to vote.

"You tried turning the tables on me, but it's too late for you," Gloss says, as he holds up his vote for Wiress. "Sorry, but you're going home tonight."

Johanna goes to vote.

Wiress goes to vote.

"I'm voting for you, Gloss, because your mistake cost us dearly," Wiress says.

After the players have finished voting, Caesar tells them, "I'll go tally the votes."

Caesar gathers the votes, rearranges them, then walks back to his spot in front of the players.

"Once the votes are read, the decision is final, and the person voted out will be taken away by a hovercraft immediately," Caesar explains. "I'll read the votes."

He pulls out the first vote.

"Wiress."

He takes out the second vote.

"Gloss."

Gloss and Wiress both do not give much response upon seeing their names.

"Gloss. Two votes Gloss."

Gloss still gives no reply at all.

"Wiress. Two votes Gloss, two votes Wiress."

Wiress feels a bit nervous at this point.

"Wiress. Three votes Wiress, two votes Gloss."

Caesar opens up the next vote.

"Gloss. We're tied, three votes Wiress, three votes Gloss."

Gloss begins to feel a little worried now.

"Wiress. Four votes Wiress, three votes Gloss, one vote left."

Caesar pulls out the final vote and opens it slowly.

"We have a tie," he states, as he shows the final vote for Gloss. "Now, each of you will give a reason why you should stay. Wiress?"

"I told you before, I can build things well," Wiress states. "I can really help this tribe."

"And Gloss?"

"We four Careers are a solid block," Gloss declares. "None of us are changing our votes. If you want to avoid a purple rock tiebreaker, then switch your vote to Wiress."

"Very well, then, it is time to revote," Caesar says. "Gloss and Wiress, you two will not vote. Everyone else, you must vote for Gloss or Wiress, and Beetee, you're up first."

The Capitol Anthem "Horn of Plenty" plays as the players go to vote again.

Beetee goes to vote.

"I have to support my partner, Wiress, no matter what, so this vote is for you, Gloss," Beetee says.

Brutus goes to vote.

Cashmere goes to vote.

"I hope our strategy works," Cashmere says, as she holds up her vote for Wiress.

Enobaria goes to vote.

Finnick goes to vote.

Johanna goes to vote.

"I'll go tally the votes."

Caesar takes the voting urn and walks over to his spot.

"Again, once the votes are read, the decision is final, and the person voted out will be taken away by a hovercraft immediately," Caesar states. "I'll read the votes."

He pulls out the first vote.

"Gloss."

He takes out the second vote.

"Wiress."

Wiress and Gloss both stare at each other as Caesar reaches in for the next vote.

"Wiress."

Wiress begins feeling a bit more nervous.

"Gloss. We're tied, two votes Wiress, two votes Gloss, two votes left."

Wiress and Gloss look on as Caesar pulls out the next vote.

"Wiress. Three votes Wiress, two votes Gloss, one vote left."

Gloss smiles, realizing that he has survived. If the final vote is for him, then he is immune from the rock-picking. Of course, if the final vote is for Wiress, then she is eliminated.

"The second person voted out of Survivor: Panem… Wiress. That's four, that's enough, you need to bring me your torch."

Wiress gets up sadly, then hugs Beetee. She then goes over to take her torch to Caesar.

"Wiress, the tribe has spoken," Caesar states, snuffing out her torch. "It's time for you to go."

A cannon fires, and a hovercraft appears, ready to take Wiress away. Wiress simply stands there silently as she gets lifted up and whooshed away.

"One thing's for sure," Caesar declares. "You Victors don't get it turned around, no one's going to be remembering you as Victors anymore. Grab your torches, head back to camp, good night."

The seven remaining Victors stand up from their seats, go over to take their torches, and walk on back toward their campsite.

"I guess Johanna flipped on me in the revote and decided to take me out," Wiress says. "It was a cowardly move on her part, but I can't blame her. Who would want to put their future in the game up to the random picking of a rock? I enjoyed it out here, I hope Beetee does well."

Who voted for whom:

Beetee – Gloss, Gloss

Brutus – Wiress, Wiress

Cashmere – Wiress, Wiress

Enobaria – Wiress, Wiress

Finnick – Gloss, Gloss

Gloss – Wiress

Johanna – Gloss, Wiress

Wiress – Gloss

Scenes from our next episode:

The tribes are switched up:

"You're probably wondering why you're here," Caesar states. "But wonder no more: we are switching up the tribes!"

Clove's jealousy of Glimmer continues:

"So you're going to blow our chances in this game for some love?" Clove suddenly shouts.

"Shut up, Clove!" Glimmer shoots back. "You think you're some mastermind, but all you're doing is splitting our group of four apart!"

And Johanna Mason bares it all:

"Johanna Mason just got naked!" Caesar shouts. "Survivor: Panem is officially on!"
