Ashani, Sasha, and Justin, meanwhile, are on another part of the island having finished unpacking, and also hearing Akaila's cries for help. "Oh, no, Akaila" Sasha says. They head into the jungle. Akaila, meanwhile, is in the goo that is trying to suck her down. She is still holding onto the same tree branch. It breaks, and she luckily manages to get hold of a nearby rock in the ground. "HELP!" she screams. She sees the tree branch get sucked down into the goo. Small pockets of air get trapped beneath its leaves. She hollers for help again. She then hears Alex in the distance shouting "Where are you?" "Over here! Hurry!!!" she yells. Alex finally sees Akaila.

Alex's friends, meanwhile, come upon the scene from on a nearby hill. As Akaila cries for help again, Melman says "good heavens, she's in trouble." Alex goes low to the ground and says "extend your hand up and try to grab the glider as I go over." Akaila does so, Alex closes in. The rock she's holding with her other hand starts to crack. Akaila grabs the glider, and the inertia of both Alex and the glider pull Akaila out of the goo, while retaining enough speed to stay aloft. Alex's friends are cheering at this save. Alex gets to a thermal and gains altitude. He shouts to his friends "I'll see you back at our cabana." Gloria then sends up a visual reply: a green flare. They head back to the cabana. Alex then turns and heads for the coastline.


Alex and Akaila are out of sight when Akaila's friends find the same bluff. They see the air bubbles, which had been trapped beneath the leaves of the tree branch, coming up and think that the bubbles coming up are from Akaila. Justin gets a look of shock on his face, and says "oh, no." Sasha, meanwhile, starts crying, and presses her face onto Ashani's neck. Ashani then says "it'll be okay" while she too is getting ever closer to tears, herself. They return to Ashani's cabana in deep sadness, as they believe Akaila to be dead.
Alex and Akaila, meanwhile, are soaring over the coastline. Alex says "you okay?" Akaila, whom is holding onto the bottom of the glider's control bar with both hands, says "yes." Marty's cabana comes into view, and Alex turns to make an approach over the water. He hits a little turbulence, causing him to drop too low to make it back to shore. Alex braces and says "hang on!" Akaila braces, and the forward tip of the glider strikes the water and tucks under. Both Akaila and Alex are flung from the glider in opposite directions. Akaila lands in the water, but Alex hits his head on a floating coconut before striking the water, and is knocked out. Akaila comes up and sees bubbles and the coconut in question coming from where Alex should be. She dives down and gets hold of Alex, whom is unconscious. She pulls him to the surface, and then to the shore. She jumps onto his chest 3 times, and Alex manages to regain his breath, cough up the rest of the water, and come around. Akaila says "sir, sir, you okay?" Alex replies "yes. What happened?" Akaila tells Alex of all that transpired, and he says "wow, thanks for saving me." Akaila says "no problem, after all, you saved me first."
