What to expect on Survivor Season 42 Episode 5?

This week's promo of the show begins with a night scene in Ika, which was probably right after last week's tribal council. In the promo, Rocksroy is heard saying, “My social game is not that good.”

In tribe Taku, we witness a fight between Jonathan and Maryanne, as Jonathan hurts Maryanne while breaking something. Omar remarks on the fight saying, “This stupid fight is exactly what I don’t want.”

In tribe Vati, Hai gets shocked after seeing Daniel swimming despite having a dislocated arm and is seen mentioning it to someone else. He tells Lydia, “Daniel’s the threat to take out.” Hai also says, “Fool me twice, shame on me,” at the end of the promo, but the context of this dialog is still unknown.
