Ep 3. Operation Cupid's Revenge

In Hunted (2017) season 1 episode 3, titled "Operation Cupid's Revenge," the remaining teams continue to evade capture by the team of investigators who are hunting them down. With two teams already eliminated, tensions are high as the remaining teams realize that they are in a race against time to outsmart their pursuers.

This episode focuses on the two teams who are still in the game: the married couple English and Stephen, and the group of four friends known as Team Delta. English and Stephen have managed to avoid detection by staying off the grid and using their camping skills to survive, while Team Delta has been taking more risks by using their credit card and social media accounts, but staying on the move to make it harder for the investigators to catch up to them.

The episode begins with English and Stephen devising a plan to use a decoy car to throw off the investigators. They travel to a nearby car dealership and purchase a new vehicle using cash, making sure to choose a car that looks similar to their own. They then leave the new car parked in a public place with the keys in the ignition, hoping that the investigators will think they have ditched their original car and are now driving the new one.

Meanwhile, Team Delta decides to take a risk and meet up with a friend who lives in a nearby city. They make plans to meet at a restaurant, but quickly realize that they may have been followed. They decide to split up and make a run for it, hoping to lose the investigators in the crowded city streets. Two of the team members manage to evade capture, but two others are caught and eliminated from the game.

Back at headquarters, the investigators review footage from the city and realize that Team Delta was indeed being followed. They are impressed by the team's ability to outsmart them, but also frustrated that they were unable to catch them. They decide to step up their efforts by bringing in more resources, including a helicopter and a SWAT team.

As the episode comes to a close, the remaining teams are feeling the pressure of being in the game for over a week. They are running low on supplies and are constantly looking over their shoulders, aware that they could be caught at any moment. English and Stephen decide to take a risk and enter a town to resupply, while Team Delta decides to stick to the woods and lay low for a while.

Overall, "Operation Cupid's Revenge" is a tense and exciting episode that showcases the creativity and resourcefulness of the remaining teams. It also highlights the skills and determination of the investigators who are working tirelessly to track them down. With only two teams left in the game, viewers are left wondering who will come out on top and win the $250,000 prize.
