• Tang Xiaoguo suggested beachcombing for seafood, and Lin Qianqian explained that finding a king crab there was unlikely because they lived in cold, deep waters.

• Tang Xiaoguo insisted on joining the shore search despite her foot wound, so Lin Qianqian and the others took turns supporting her while Lu Zhe stayed behind.

• Lu Zhe said the girls would have to make amends, and Ning Shu stood up and offered to accept the punishment alone.

Lu Zhe tasked Ning Shu with finding seeds in the girls’ waste so they could grow fruit on the island if rescue did not come. Ning Shu accepted after the others revealed what fruit they had eaten, but realized she would have to search through every surviving girl’s poop.

• Ning Shu volunteered to take responsibility for the group, and Lu Zhe assigned her the task of finding seeds in their poop.
• Lu Zhe warned the girls not to rely on rescue or the black box, prompting Tang Xiaoguo and Jiang Yao to worry about their families.

Lu Zhe prepared a snake for dinner while Tang Xiaoguo tried to hide her renewed need to use the toilet. She lost control in front of the others, leaving the group unsure how to help her without washing away the seeds they were collecting.

• Lin Qianqian suggested that everyone search their own waste for seeds, and Jiang Yao agreed.

• Tang Xiaoguo lost control and began sobbing, while the group wondered how to clean her without losing the seeds.

Lu Zhe organized the girls to help Tang Xiaoguo clean herself with seawater while preserving the strawberry seeds, then prepared snake meat wrapped in kelp. Tang Xiaoguo finished picking out the seeds and handed them to Lu Zhe as night fell.

• Lu Zhe assigned Ning Shu, Jiang Yao, and Lin Qianqian tasks to gather seawater, broad leaves, and a bottle with a hole so Tang Xiaoguo could clean herself without washing away the seeds.

Lu Zhe and the four girls ate their first dinner on the deserted island, then faced a sudden nighttime chill. With no time or strength to build a shelter, Lu Zhe proposed a plan to make heated-water containers for warmth.

• Lu Zhe served roasted kelp and venomous snake meat, and Lin Qianqian, Ning Shu, Jiang Yao, and Tang Xiaoguo enjoyed the meal.
• Lu Zhe told the girls that the small hermit crabs were not worth eating and explained his knowledge by claiming he had read books and watched survival shows.
• As the temperature dropped and the wind strengthened, Lu Zhe said they needed basic measures to endure the cold night but decided it was too dangerous to gather firewood in the jungle.
• Lu Zhe proposed digging a sand pit, lining it with broad leaves, and heating pebbles in the fire.
• Lu Zhe suggested putting hot pebbles into discarded drink cans filled with seawater to warm them.

Lu Zhe and the girls made a warm sand shelter and hot-water bottles for their first night on the deserted island. The four girls fell asleep while Lu Zhe took the first watch, planning to check his system data through the night.

• Lu Zhe explained how to heat seawater with hot stones and pour it into plastic bottles, and Jiang Yao made more than ten hand warmers.
• Lu Zhe and Ning Shu dug and dried a sand pit, then the group lined it with leaves and warmed it with the bottles.
