With teams reuniting, they dive into the difficult task of surviving and feeding two people instead of one; the last hiker faces a brutal mountain climb that could dash hopes of ever making it to camp.

A seriously injured contestant ponders the decision to seek medical help and sacrifice a shot at the prize money; danger looms as predators continue to stalk the island's newest inhabitants.

As their teammates try to set up camp, the hikers discover Vancouver Island is even more punishing when on the move. One pair is beaten into submission, while another faces a devastating accident.

Pairs of family members are dropped kilometres apart and must navigate the unforgiving terrain of Northern Vancouver Island to find each other; the competitors must build their own shelters and forage for their own food.

The contestants find themselves under severe strain as freezing temperatures set in. One team member suffers a serious illness, and another finds that his temper comes between himself and his partner.

The three final teams face their most challenging time on Vancouver Island yet, as tensions build and one contestant is forced to battle a blazing fire.
