Les Stroud rousts the group from their beds at night and sends them on a night hike armed with nothing but a GPS device and a set of geographical coordinates.

Les sends the group down a river on a whitewater rafting challenge, but the inflatable boat is punctured on a sharp stick and sinks. Les meets the group and orders them to the other side of the river without food or sleeping gear.

Les assesses the strengths and weaknesses of each of the four remaining teens. He gives each teen a survival sack and warns them they may be in the wilderness for days. Each surviving teen is taken to a different spot.

Becca, Becky, Catarina, and Holden, as well as the surviving four teens' families, assemble to welcome Adam, Jen, Kareem, and Zac home. Each surviving teen's situation is assessed after three days in the wilderness.
