* StarCrossedLovers: Dave and Sky are sent onto different teams. Chris tried to invoke this by separating Scarlett and Max, but not only are the two not in a relationship, but Scarlett absolutely hates Max's guts. He most likely knows this but is saying it’s Scarlett and Max to get a reaction out of Scarlett for drama. Which he succeeds at doing.

* EroticDream: For a hot second, reality and dream blur into one as Sky wakes up. Dave is standing over her to offer her berries for breakfast, but what she perceives is an extremely muscular and shirtless Dave offering her a ring and asking her to be his jungle queen.



* TheLoad: Max's idiocy pretty much hinders any attempts Scarlett makes to make actual progress in the cave or learn more about the Island's automated systems.
* NotMeThisTime: Someone from Waneyihtam Maskwak takes a crystal from the gem cave, which causes Bling Bear to attack the team. Sky reasons that Sugar is the thief because of her earlier claim on anything that sparkles, but it's actually Shawn who turns out to be something of a magpie.

* CrystalLandscape: While travelling underground, the Wâneyihtam Maskwak enter the Gem Cave of Pahkitew Island. This area is chock-full of red gems that are both identified as rubies and as diamonds. The Gem Cave is the domain of Bling Bear, who knows if someone takes a gem and does not respond kindly to it. This would've been an easy danger to avoid for the team were it not for Shawn's attraction to shiny gems. Bling Bear does not give up the chase until the team jumps into the outhouse's waste.

* PalmFistTap: When they're threatened by a crocodile, Scarlett taps her palm with her fist as she recognizes that this is the perfect opportunity to get rid of Max. It's less that he gets eaten, and more that he gets delayed and will cause the team to lose, upon which he'll be voted off.

Added DiffLines:

* RelationshipSabotage:
** Sugar doesn't like that Dave and Sky are heading for a romance-alliance and sets out to disrupt any further progress. Whenever they have a moment, she's there to ruin it. By the end of the episode, she no longer has to bother because Chris makes Sky and Max switch teams.
** Chris announces that he's breaking up Scarlett and Max because their romantic development would make for an unfair alliance. To prevent the team sizes from becoming unbalanced, he has Max switch teams with Sky. This creates some uncertainty which relationship Chris is actually targeting. Although Scarlett and Max seem close, they are not romantically involved, which Chris may or may not know from confessional footage. Meanwhile, Sky and Dave are close to forming a relationship, which plenty of people know about. In either case, splitting up Scarlett and Max changes nothing about them, while splitting up Dave and Sky becomes the start of the downfall of their romance.
