With his trommel no longer in operation, Todd Hoffman decide to merge the two groups into one big group at Indian River, and not lay anyone off.

At Porcupine Creek, "Dakota" Fred, Dustin Hurt, and Melody are finally running good, until a massive bolder breaks their de-rocker. After fixing it, they are able to get 24 oz, bringing them to a total of 104 ounces so far for the season.

At the Big Nugget Mine, Parker Schnabel talks to another claim owner to get another piece of land after Emmerson Trench turns out to be a bust. He is able to score the piece, and begins mining.
