After Zach’s Exit
The episode picks up with Zach leaving the house after opting not to use his $10,000 “BB Buyoff” power. A miscommunication in the storage room leads to a massive argument between Rachel and Morgan, as Rachel believes Morgan wants her to sit in the jury house, a claim Morgan denies. Can these two strong players mend their relationship, or is their alliance irreparably damaged?
Two Pieces Away
Emotions run high following Zach’s eviction as houseguests seek someone to blame. Morgan admits her choice to keep Vince over Zach, citing the connections Vince could bring. Mickey identifies Keanu and Rachel as the biggest threats, while Rachel realizes she must win HOH to secure her place in the game.
Head of Household Competition
The houseguests dress for prom to compete in “The Party Slasher” for the HOH title. The objective is to study six rooms under attack by the slasher, who eliminates contestants in targeted rooms. After a series of rounds, Rachel emerges as the last player standing, claiming the HOH title.
