Ralph then approaches the women of Rob's alliance wondering if he's the next to go.

The former Ometepe alliance seem to be strong when Grant wins the next Immunity Challenge. Back at camp, Rob is paranoid that David might find another hidden immunity idol after seeing him digging around the tribe flag.
