The show began on Day 27 in Ronda, Spain. The three remaining players, Kathryn, Steve and Jim (the unholy trinity) spoke about how they felt being only three left. Kathryn thinks Jim knows Steve is the Mole and believes they have paired up to keep her out. Steve thinks the partnership with Jim will fall apart.

The three get in an MVP to travel to the site of their next challenge. Kathryn sat way in the back saying she wanted to lie down. She seemed paranoid with Steve and Jim. They met Anderson who reminded them of the $490,000.00 in the group pot. He explained that the next test is based on questions they have already answered about each other:

Round 1 - Steve was taken to an unknown house and Jim and Kathryn had to find him by answering three questions that are personal about the two of them. They had to answer the way they thought Steve would respond, and each answer pointed them in a certain direction. They must get all three answers right in order to find Steve and win $10,000.00. They failed the first round because Steve randomly answered questions and therefore, the two could never guess properly.

Round 2 - Kathryn was hidden and Steve & Jim had to answer the three questions the way they thought Kathryn would answer. They answered correctly and won $10,000.00.

Round 3 - Jim was taken away and Kathryn & Steve had to answer three questions the way they thought Jim would answer. Kathryn was upset about the questions being asked (e.g. who would have the least people at their funeral? who would most likely cheat on their spouse?). She said that Jim would have chosen her for both answers since all the negative responses go to her from Jim. She was right, and they won another $10,000.00, but Kathryn was very upset that Jim thought of her that way. Jim tried to explain why he chose Kathryn for the negative questions and thought it was silly that she let the game get to her. She was crying and had to be taken away by Anderson for a minute. Jim went after her to talk about his answers. She thought it was a horrible test.

The three players arrived at a hotel thinking they were checking in. They didn't realize it was their last test. Each were locked into a room (unknown to them). They had 90 minutes to get out of their locked rooms and meet Anderson downstairs. There were clues in their rooms, which would help them and the other two to escape. Jim was in the dark; Kathryn had videos and an exercise bike, and Steve had a safe and a laptop... If they all escaped they would win $75,000.00. Jim managed to find a phone and had reception put him forward to Steve's room. Jim could see clues on the wall through an infrared light whenever Kathryn rode the exercise bike. Steve seemed to take a leader role calling Kathryn and Jim back and forth, linking the bike to the light and telling Kathryn to continue to ride the bike so that Jim could read the clues on the wall. Kathryn got bored and continued to look for clues in her room. She found the # 1019 on the back of her shower curtain and another code on a truck parked outside. She tried the combo on the door, and was able to free herself with 25 minutes to go.

She called Steve and gave him the combo numbers. He tried them but they didn't work on his door. She rode the bike so Jim could see to try the numbers in his room. Nothing worked. Kathryn talked to Steve and Jim through the door and found a sheet of music for Jim to play the machine. He couldn't read the music. Time ran out with only Kathryn free. Anderson then showed her how it would have worked. A package waited for her at reception, which held the key to Steve's room. In Steve's room a lamb mask was found in the fridge with a Mary statue which gave the title of Mary had a little lamb. If Jim had played the song on his xylophone, his door would have opened.

The players had their last dinner together and toasted each other. Steve felt sad to not see his friends again after the next day. Kathryn said she's ready to go home. Jim too said he'd made some friends during the whole chaos of the game. The next day the three meet in a bull fighting ring in Ronda, Spain. They were given a moment to say good luck to each other. They had to take a quiz of 25 questions about the Mole simultaneously. Each said their thoughts on who they thought the mole was as they answered the questions. Kathryn thought Steve, Jim thought Kathryn, Steve thought Kathryn. While the results were tallied, each were sequestered individually.

The final episode of the Mole is tomorrow night with a reunion of all the players, and the dramatic discovery of the Mole!!!
