A selected number of contestants have to move out from the "I-LAND" while the same number of "Grounders" will come in their place.

While performing the signal song the leaders are tasked with distributing the parts. The "I-LANDERS" are desparate to stay in the "I-LAND" while the "Grounders" are in dire need of gaining entrance to the "I-LAND". Amidst the part distribution and practice the contestants face many difficulties. The contestants are given a week's time to practice the song. The contestants struggle to secure their place in the "I-LAND" with some contestants suffering from health issues and injuries a well.

But sadly, not all of them receive good news as a few "I-LANDERS" are sent to the ground through the voting process while others are happy to either stay in the "I-LAND" or because they got promoted.

The episode ends with a teaser of the next episode (third episode). The "seesaw battle is revealed" where both the "Grounders" & "I-LANDERS" are split into 2 groups (with total of 4 groups) & the "I-LANDER" groups have to compete with each other and similarly for the "Grounder" teams. The winning team of the "I-LANDERS" stays in the "I-LAND" while the losing team will have to move out of the "I-LAND".
