Game of the day: capture the tail of an assigned team member before time runs out. Yugyeom and Jackson quickly form an alliance ("The tallest and the shortest!")

I thought you'd understand"). Mark & BamBam form an alliance with Yugyeom. Additional superpowers are dropped off at Baekseok-dong. Mark considers betraying Yugyeom for Jinyoung. It's a slippery moral slope, Mark. Everyone converges at Almi Park, where JB is forced to wear a heavy pumpkin suit. Youngjae quickly catches JB, but Jinyoung uses his teleporation power and captures Youngjae. Everyone forgets the rules, and Yugyeom wins.

Jinyoung drinks coffee and reads a book, JB finds a fishing hole and Youngjae naps with Coco. Yugyeom & Jinyoung start preparing dishes, and BamBam & JB grill meat for dinner.

Chase: Infinity War begins! Youngjae has captured a baby bird (ahgase) and the rest of the members need to retrieve it. Youngjae has three powers he can use to protect the bird. Teams are: Jinyoung & Jackson (dog team), JB & Mark (chicken team) and BamBam & Yugyeom (ox team). Youngjae's first location: his hiding place in Gangnam (a bus stop near the JYP training studios). No one finds him, so he moves to his second location - the Nambu Express Bus Terminal where he arrived in Seoul for training. BamBam, Yugyeom, JB & Mark head out for lunch, but everyone eventually figures out the clue and the converge on the terminal. Jinyoung gets a drive-by compliment ("How handsome!") So true.

Jackson discovers the bird (with a little sweet-talking) at the nearby restaurant, but Youngjae uses the power of duplication to bring it back to him, much to Jackson's annoyance.
