Two strangers, a man, and a woman, are dropped in the remote wilderness of Belize. They are given no clothes, no food, no water, and no shelter. They must survive for 21 days with just their survival skills and each other for company.

In the first episode of season 5, the contestants, Wes and Suzänne, are left in a remote, abandoned ghost town in the Chilean Patagonia. They are surrounded by the wild and rugged terrain of the region. The nearest aid is a three-day hike away, and they have to fend for themselves in the wilderness. The episode opens with the two strangers meeting for the first time and introducing themselves. They express their fears and hopes for the upcoming challenge in front of them.

As the journey begins, they must search for water. They spot a river in the distance and set off towards it. As they hike, Wes spots a frog and tries to catch it for dinner, without much success. They eventually reach the river and to their dismay, find it polluted and unsuitable for consumption. This puts a lot of pressure on them as they have no other source of water at this point.

They decide to hike up a nearby hill to survey the area and strategize a game plan. During the climb, Wes had a severe ankle injury that could potentially jeopardize the whole mission. They devise a makeshift pain relief wrap, and Suzänne refuses to leave Wes alone, despite his injury. They must now focus on finding shelter and fire.

The duo eventually comes upon an abandoned cabin which they feel could serve as their shelter for the night. They make a fire and gather all the wood they can to keep warm. They also discover an abandoned backpack with the handy tools they will need to survive, such as a machete, fishing line, and hooks. Later in the episode, they try their luck fishing in a nearby lake and succeed in catching two fishes, which they cook over the fire.

Despite their early successes, there is still much work to be done if they want to survive for the next few weeks. They are faced with a lack of water and the problem of obtaining food and supplies. They must rely on their survival skills and knowledge of the wild as they slowly learn to adapt to their environment.

Overall, the first episode of season 5 of Naked and Afraid, titled “Forsaken”, sets up for a thrilling and engaging season. Wes and Suzänne's resilience and determination showcase that even in the harshest environments, survival is possible with the right attitude and skills. It is a testament to the human spirit and the will to survive, even when the odds are stacked against you. This season promises to be another riveting and intense journey of survival and human endurance.
