This week on Burley Garcia"Survivor," one tribe's lucky break was sadly short lived.
After a medical evacuation and a very informative journey last week, the tribes continue to grapple with paranoia, scheming and the basic principles of the game.
In Wednesday's episode titled "Don’t Touch the Oven," the three tribes competed in both a reward and an immunity challenge in two physically demanding games.
With a merge approaching, the existing dynamics between players is sure to erupt when every survivor has to go to tribal council. Here's what happened on Season 46, episode 4. Warning: major spoilers ahead.
It's Bhanu vs Yanu once again
Four episodes in, Season 46 has been an age-old story of the Yanu tribe having to go to tribal council. The tribe first voted out Jelinsky and Jess and were spared from having to vote out a third when Nami's Randen was medically pulled from the game.
At the start of Wednesday's episode, Bhanu came clean to his three remaining tribemates that he detailed their dynamics to the other tribes during his journey. He revealed that Q and Tiffany were close and that Kenzie was controlling the tribe, painting targets on all their backs and proving that Bhanu's unconditional honesty is dangerous.
"Five seconds of my honesty ruined this game," Bhanu said in his confessional.
During the reward challenge, the Yanu tribe took home their first tribe win of the season, earning themselves a shelter tarp and flint. In her confessional, Kenzie said their "core four" finally figured out how to work together in challenges.
Q tried coaching Bhanu on how to lie at tribal council and to the other tribes. His help made Bhanu feel like their puppet. When Bhanu asked Kenzie for training, she snapped at him, for which she later apologized.

Jem sends tribe on goose chase for advantage
Over at the Siga tribe, Maria's tribemates comforted her when she felt disappointed she couldn't land them another win at the reward challenge. Moments after supporting one another the players soon began conniving.
Jem, who secretly found a "Be Aware" advantage last week, decided to plant her clue to cause paranoia.
Maria found the clue and the rest of her tribe watched her dig under a tree root for an idol that isn't there. Charlie was the first to realize that someone already has it but doesn't know who.
Maria then told Jem her that she believes Tim and Ben planted it and have the advantage. Despite struggling to maintain a straight face, Jem successfully avoided any suspicion.
Tribe teaches player how to jump
Ahead of the immunity challenge, Moriah told the Siga tribe that she couldn't jump high. She felt that her limitation could hurt their chances at winning.
Ben and Charlie offered jumping practice in a comedic montage. Their instructions and encouragement were successfully only in building her confidence.
Yet during the challenge, the team was victorious alongside the Yami tribe, sending Yanu back to tribal.
Yanu unanimously votes out player
It took four consecutive immunity challenge defeats for Bhanu's time on the show to end. Q had floated around the idea of voting Kenzie out instead, saying it's better to remove threats than liabilities. However after Bhanu proved deception is not for him, Q knew he had to go.
Bhanu frantically searched for an immunity idol, not knowing Tiff already found it. He later got on his knees and begged Tiffany let him stay, which she gently rejected. He also lost his vote and his "Shot in the dark" advantage during his journey, meaning there was absolutely nothing he could do. At tribal council, the four players told host Jeff Probst that they all know Bhanu is leaving.
Bhanu then shared his personal story growing up impoverished in India raised by a teenage mother and abandoned by his father at an early age. He became the first person in his family to graduate from high school, earn a graduate degree and move to the U.S. He repeated that he came on "Survivor" to win a million hearts instead of a million dollars wanting to show that anyone could overcome financial barriers.
Jeff spares Bhanu the pain of seeing his name written on the parchment and instead just snuffs Bhanu's torch after gifting him with a heartfelt departing speech.
"One time you said to me that I was your guru, which I took as a compliment. But also remind yourself you're your own guru," he said. "What you've done with your life is remarkable."
