They are soon faced with frightening events and unexpected situations that go horribly awry.
A Question of Reality
A shocking announcement comes with the loss of another contestant, while those who remain are dealing with deception and drama, including accusations of theft, the discovery of a bloody scene in the woods and arguments over food rationing. Elsewhere, Victoria suffers a frightening hallucination after being tricked by Esther into eating uncooked mushrooms.

Johnny, Daniel, Joyce, and Sam continue searching for the beacon despite Sam's frostbitten foot, but disorientation sets in when the signal light goes out. Meanwhile, Neeko, Sabina, Annie, and Esther go into the woods to find the missing Irene and Miljan, and make a grisly discovery.
One by One
