The latest batch of episodes picked up with Drew and Joseph in the water attempting to secure a boat each for their teams as they spent the last few days in the Alaskan wilderness. After the task, Drake and Sammy let Drew while they explored the island Emily had previously explored.
On their way, Sammy told Drake that he didn't feel too well and that his health had started to deteriorate. Later in the episode when the teams received a drop, informing them they only had 48 hours left in the wild. Drew and Drake spoke to Sammy about him leaving the show to focus on his health.
Sammy was the only one who left the show, or "flared out" from Outlast season 2 in episode 7.
What happened to Sammy in Outlast season 2 episode 7?
In Outlast season 2 episode 7, while Drake and Sammy were exploring the island, the latter expressed needing to sit down because he didn't feel good. He told the cameras he felt the "roughest" he had felt since the show started. He told Drake he needed some food and that it was the "hardest" he had ever pushed himself.
"I kinda feel like I'm really starting to dwindle down, which is unfortunate," he told the cameras.
In a confessional, Drake said he noticed that Sammy was "kind of done" with the island. He added that the Outlast season 2 star didn't come on the show with "much fat to burn" to begin with. He added that he was worried because he didn't want anyone slowing Bravo down.
Drake added they needed someone who could pull their weight and that if Sammy couldn't do it, it would "drive a wedge" between them. Meanwhile, Sammy was appreciative of his team taking care of him and having his "back."
The following day, Sammy told Drew he was "constantly lightheaded" and he was worried about himself. He told the cameras he could feel his body "shrinking." While Drew and Drake went to meet with Camp Delta, Sammy rested in the camp.
While returning to their camp, the Bravo team members discussed Sammy's condition. Drew told the cameras that if the Outlast season 2 star was holding them back, they might need to vote him off.
The teams received another drop with a note in it. It informed them they only had 48 hours left and asked if they had their "final teams" in place. Drew and Drake ponder over Sammy's condition and decided they needed to tell him it was "time for him to go."
"Getting that note, and knowing we have a definite end, even though we don't know what the challenge is gonna be, I know it's gonna be hard, and I know for a fact Sammy doesn't have much left in the tank," Drew said in a confessional.
The Outlast season 2 stars spoke to Sammy and told him they were worried about his health. Drew told him he was like their brother and they loved him. However, they thought it would be "smarter" for him to go home.
"Drake and Drew, they are concerned about my health and, uh, how fast I'm dwindling," Sammy said.
They asked Sammy if he would feel better if they voted him out instead of him tapping out of Outlast season 2. They asked him to leave with his "head held high." Sammy flared out and the remaining Bravo stars, Drew and Drake won the Netflix survivalist reality show.
All episodes of Outlast season 2 are available to stream on Netflix.
