The next morning, the crew has a final group challenge - a survival exercise where they have to build a shelter and start a fire using only the materials available to them in the wilderness. The winning team gets bragging rights and a luxurious breakfast cooked by the losing team.
After the challenge, the crew packs up and heads back to New York City. They all agree that the trip was a success and they feel much closer as a team. Sky is happy that her plan worked and hopes to organize more team-building trips in the future.
