Rylie’s Reaction and Mickey’s Strategy
The episode picks up with Rylie visibly upset after losing his HOH status to Mickey. Meanwhile, Rachel and Ashley are still reeling from their earlier confrontation with Katherine, whom Rachel labeled a “bully” for criticizing Ashley’s demeanor during Rylie’s rough day.
From One HOH to Another
Rylie manages to meet Mickey privately, where he attempts to convince her that he is not targeting her or her allies. Despite his anger over losing his position, this confrontation unexpectedly brings Rylie and Katherine closer, sparking a budding romance.
With the “Triple Threat” alliance of Mickey, Morgan, and Jimmy in control, they weigh their options for nominations. The likely targets are those who voted against Rylie last week, specifically Katherine, Rylie, Kelley, and Keanu.
