Seven contestants arrived at the house that has a mind of its own. During the first challenge contestants searched for cash in the flooding room filled with snakes. Jill played it too safe towards the end and was locked inside — becoming the first contestant to be eliminated. Zondra was the contestant who panicked the most but when the cash was counted, she found more money and Debbie was sent home.

During the second challenge contestants removed their shoes and socks and were lead out into the shock garden. To get paid they maneuvered their way through a series of shock wires to find money stashed under plants and statues. It got down to the wire between Jessica and Chad once everyone else had left the garden. Despite the series of jolting shocks, Chad broke free leaving Jessica trapped behind.

In the final challenge, Zondra, Chad and Lee are the last three standing. They compete for cash in the shrinking room. Both Zondra and Chad successfully battled the clamping tanks of crabs and found money hidden throughout the room. But Lee got greedy and ended up crushed.

With only a few hundred dollars separating them, Chad beats Zondra and moves on to the vault, where he has the opportunity to add more cash to the final prize amount, or press the panic button to forfeit the game.

Though shaken, Chad manages not to panic while in the vault. He unlocks the shackle from his leg, grabs more cash and successfully broke free before time ran out. He walks away with more than $20,000, which he plans to put towards his son's future.
