Recap

The episode picks right back up after the bank heist mission. The Gold team didn't win any money for not finding gold bricks. The Cash team is hoping they made money based on their counting.

The Cash team brought back $10,678.50. Since they were over the set number, they didn't win any money for the group prize pot.

The group reconvenes to take the next quiz. Some of the quiz questions include: Was The Mole in the Cash or Gold group? What is the name of The Mole's first pet? Did The Mole play darts in the hotel? Did The Mole sit or stand after the bank heist?

Alex Wagner inputs the results into the laptop. Avori is the first to receive her results. She gets a green screen and is safe.

Kesi is safe.

Sandy gets a red screen. She is eliminated and leaves the game immediately.

Sandy tells Alex that she's grown a lot in the competition. Pranav states that his strategy was to spread the answers across the team during the quiz. Avori is sad to lose Sandy since they were close friends.

For the next day, the group travels to the rural town of Gympie. They arrive in front of a train station; Alex Wagner reveals their next mission is a mail run.

The group will have to split up into three groups: one team will travel by foot, one team will travel by train, and one team will travel by car. Each group will have to pick up parcels of mail and deliver it to the train station in time. The catch is that the car team and the foot team will have to arrive at the station before the train team for their money to count. The group has 90 minutes; if they're successful, they could add up to $18,000 to the pot.

Train team is Greg, Kesi, and Casey.

Foot team is Avori, William, and Pranav.

Car team is Jacob and Joi.

The train team will have to capture their mailbags by hooks in a moving train. Greg successfully hooks in the first bag for his team. He and Kesi switch places are the first grab.

The foot team grabs their first package from the first house. The team starts slowing down as Avori can't keep up with Pranav/William; she needs some moments to catch her breath.

The car team has to spot small mailboxes on the road. Joi and Jacob realize that they've driven past the first mailbox and have to travel back to get it.

On the train, Kesi drops the second bag; the team isn't able to get the $2,000 for the bag. She and Greg switch back to their original places.

The foot team runs ahead to grab their second parcel, but Avori slows them down as she can only walk.

Joi and Jacob discover the first mailbox. They retrieved their first parcel.

Greg successfully pulls in the third parcel on the train.

The foot team finds the third parcel at the third house. They discover a temptation: pay $2,000 to get bikes they can use for the rest of the way. Avori pushes them to take the deal; the group accepts and uses the bikes.

Joi believes they've driven past the second mailbox. The car team decides to skip the second and third mailboxes to go to the station. However, they notice the third mailbox on the road. They stop and grab the parcel.

The foot team makes it in time before the train. The car team didn't make it in time; they didn't earn any money for the group pot. The foot team is upset that the car team didn't arrive on time, especially since they were in a car.

The group earned $11,000 for the prize pot. The total is $14,500 in the group's prize pot.

Later that day, the group goes to dinner to find a pile of cash and a bomb on the table. Alex Wagner announces their new mission: two people are secretly sitting on detonators. The group will have to vote out two people each round of the dinner course. If they can successfully keep one of the detonators to the final round, the group will win money. But if one player remaining isn't on the detonator, they could potentially win an exemption.

For the first meal, the group is given an Australian pie with peas. The majority of players have spicy wasabi secretly on their pie.

Casey starts heating up from the wasabi. The group votes out Casey and Pranav. Neither was sitting on a detonator.

For the second meal, the group is given an iced cold beer. The majority of the group gets carbonated apple cider vinegar.

Greg gags after drinking the beer. The group votes out Greg and Avori. Neither was sitting on a detonator.

For the last meal, the group is given a meringue. The rest of the group gets a meringue filled with chilis.

Jacob's and Kesi's eyes are watering. The group votes out Jacob and Kesi.

Kesi stands up revealing she was sitting on a detonator. Jacob wasn't sitting on a detonator.

It's revealed that William was sitting on the detonator. As the non-detonator, Joi is offered a deal: she can either cut the wire on the bomb to give the group $15,000 or she can let the bomb blow to win an exemption.

Joi is debating what to do, she wants to win. The episode ends on a cliffhanger.

The Mole Season 6 Episode 5 Quotes

[In confessional] Kesi is a team player in that she’ll go where the group tells her to go. But when she’s there, she pretty much drops the ball. So, I’m gonna sit back and let her do her thing. I’m on the lookout for any slip-ups because you need to be on your toes to gather your data and prep for the quiz. If Kesi is The Mole, there’s gotta be some type of sabotage.

Greg

[In confessional] Once again in the game, Joi has messed up with the map.
