Episode Summary

Map: Terminal Island, a deserted seaside port with two ferries provided for easy shuttling. Only three contestants could ride a ferry at once, and none of the hunters could board them.

The contestants' first mission was to arrange barrels in a specific order. Midway through the first mission, the first two hunters, Grant and Vazquez, were released. The contestants completed the mission, earning each of them a deflector, and then broke off into multiple groups. Bryan, Cleavant, and Demetrios went across the harbor on the ferry (which they had to stay on the entire time). Jason and Mecca stayed together, getting on the boats later with Bill, who had had to use his deflector against Icey shortly after she was released. The rest of the contestants went to explore or hide away from the starting point, where Eva found a $1,000 flag.

After Bryan, Cleavant and Demetrios disembarked from the ferry, Bryan used his deflector against Grant, but was eliminated anyway after Grant came back after him; Cleavant had promised to protect Bryan, but did not.

Shortly thereafter, the host announced that the contestant's backpacks would make a loud alarm sound in 10 minutes. To deactivate the alarm, a contestant would have to stand back-to-back with another contestant and interlock two special panels. Doing so would also award invisibility glasses, however, once deactivated, the contestant could not deactivate anyone else's alarm. Shortly after this announcement, Laura and Arielle used their deflectors on Grant. Bill helped Jason and Mecca deactivate their backpacks on the ferry while Arielle, Cynthia, Eva and Laura then met to do the same thing on land. Shortly before the mission time expired, another hunter, Amazon, was released. Laura, then seeing a hunter, activated her invisibility glasses. Bill, Cleavant and Demetrios were all unable to deactivate their backpack in time, therefore setting off their alarms.

The host called to give a clue: "Stay seaside if you want to see the money." A few minutes later, he called to offer $3,000 for the first player to call him and quit the game. Jason, tempted by an offer, called the host and accepted the $3,000 for leaving the game. Laura also called in, but was too late. She was then forced to cross the ferry, as Cleavant crossed on the other side. The backpack alarms turned off, right before Arielle and Cynthia were sighted by Amazon. Arielle used her invisibility glasses and Cynthia used her deflector to avoid being captured.

The host called to announce that there are Sonic Stunners available at two different locations. On their way to obtain them, Arielle, Cynthia and Eva were cornered by Amazon and Icey. Amazon captured Arielle after the other two contestants used their invisibility glasses, therefore making her the second captured. Bill found one of the two locations, which was marked with a sign that read "Hunter Access Denied." However, he found another hunter, Scott, inside a cage in the middle of the room. It was announced that she, along with another hunter (Kim) at the other location, would be released in 5 minutes, the task to win the Sonic Stunner was to pedal half a mile on a stationary bike next to the cage, and that there was only one Stunner available at each location. Bill climbed onto a bike (and simultaneously teased Scott via asking if she was in there for jaywalking), and earned the Stunner with approximately 90 seconds to spare. Mecca arrived too late, and at the other station Cynthia won her stunner one minute before Kim was released. Laura was captured by Grant as soon as she left the ferry, without even attempting to run.

The contestants were called again, and informed that the hunters in the cages were to be released, and that the top half of the gameboard (top refers to the top side of the map) would be shut down in 5 minutes; any contestants out of bounds at the end of that time would be eliminated from the game. After this announcement, Cleavant had some difficulty orienting himself correctly with the assistance of his map and was out-of-bounds when time expired; as such, he was disqualified.

Wong was then released to spot contestants on a Spyder motorcycle and alert the other hunters (although he could not capture a runner himself). Mecca was quickly spotted, and used her deflector not knowing another hunter was coming, forcing her to use her invisibility glasses. 2 minutes before the end of the game, the finish line was then disclosed as Al Larson's marina; if the contestants failed to cross under the blue gate at the marina by the end of the game, they would win nothing. Grant, using Wong's assistance, was able to capture Mecca on her way to the marina. Bill used his sonic stunner just in time to avoid being captured by Amazon, and made it to the marina first, winning $25,000. Demetrios arrived only a few seconds later. Eva was very angry because she could not find the exit point. Had she made it, she would have won an extra $1,000 because of the money flag she had found.

Episode Summary

Map: Descanso Gardens

The contestants were taken directly to the first mission by the host. They divided into two groups of 5 and entered cages made of bamboo. The mission was for the contestants to move the cages along a predetermined path and obtain tools to cut themselves out of the cages. Going further along the path would give better cutting tools. The teams were given only 5 minutes to escape. The first team to break out of the cage would win a bag of five deflectors; the second group could grab deflectors hidden near the fountain area, but only if they escape in time.

The players in cage 1 (Mardell, Shane, Jessica, Dianne, and Lucy) retrieved all four tools before beginning to cut, while the players in cage 2 (Paul, Wahed, Tyler, Portia, and Steve) cut the cage somewhat between the second and third tools. About two minutes into the mission, the first two hunters, Grant and Wong, were released. The players in cage 2 broke free first, winning the guaranteed deflectors. The players in cage 1 got free with 7 seconds to spare, however, they had to search for their deflectors.

Shortly after breaking out of the cages, Wahed sighted an inactive hunter (Icey), as well as a money flag ($1,000). A few seconds later, another hunter, Vazquez, was introduced into the game.

Mardell dropped her deflector as she was chased by Vazquez, but retrieved it and used it on him just in time. Shane used his own on Wong after taunting him. Icey was then released onto the board. Portia used her deflector on Grant after failing to remain hidden behind a low wall due to a snap of a twig. Paul ran away from Icey and met up with Shane, who had just gotten away from Grant. They both split up after seeing Icey and then Paul used his deflector on Grant.

The host then called with the second mission, a tripwire maze at each of three locations; a Sonic Stunner was available at the center of each one. The mission would only be active for 5 minutes. Some of the wires, if pulled, would activate alarms. Wahed and Portia ran from the mission after Portia activated an alarm. Despite tripping several alarms, Tyler got a Stunner, as did Dianne. Shortly after the end of the mission, Shane was captured by Vazquez. Upon learning of Shane's elimination, Dianne and Lucy both expressed amusement, as Shane had made belittling remarks about them earlier.

Tyler and Steve both used their deflectors as Wong and Icey approached them. Tyler then used his Sonic Stunner on Grant. Wahed gave his map to Dianne and Lucy, who had lost theirs near the beginning of the game. The host called with the exit point clue "Stay on track and you could win." After managing to dodge Icey, Mardell was captured by Vazquez. Shortly afterward, the host offered a $2,000 buy-out for the first person to call him. Lucy accepted the buy-out, and gave Dianne the map she had acquired from Wahed.

Wahed used his deflector on Wong, but was sighted by Vazquez shortly after. He fell into a ditch, and kept slipping in his efforts to get out. Vazquez did not even attempt to capture Wahed until after he escaped the ditch, but captured Wahed as they ran around the fountain. As such, the money flag Wahed had found was nullified. Steve was then captured by Grant while trying to read his map. Shortly afterward, Jessica used her deflector on Icey, and Dianne used her Sonic Stunner on Wong.

The host then called with the final mission: to take a photograph of any active hunter with the camera in the phone in order to earn invisibility glasses. The mission was only available for 10 minutes, and with the start of the mission, a fifth hunter, Kim, was released. Paul was the first to earn his glasses. Portia snapped a photo of Grant to earn hers, but had to use them immediately. Tyler also photographed Grant to earn his glasses, but was able to preserve them by evading him. Paul was nearly taken by Kim, but used his glasses before he was tagged, thus keeping him in the game. After a short chase, Wong captured Jessica. Directly afterwards, the host called with a second exit point clue: "In this game, the early bird catches $25K." Portia was then captured by Wong.

Shortly before the exit point was revealed, T-Bo was released on a Segway Personal Transporter as the "spotter hunter," meaning he would alert the other hunters on sighting a contestant, but would not capture a contestant. He sighted Paul, and alerted the other hunters. Paul ran, and was quickly found by Icey, but he managed to evade her.

The host called to announce that the exit point was maintenance gate #2, and that the players had to open the gate and go through to win. Tyler then used his glasses to avoid being captured by Wong, and made it to the gate first, however, he did not actually push through the gate, leaving an opening for Dianne to push through and win by a split second.
