The Mole Week 2 Recap: A Prime Suspect Is Eliminated, As Joi Publicly Outs [Spoiler] As The Saboteur

Are we any closer to solving the mystery of The Mole's identity? Well, yes and no.

In the Netflix reboot's latest episodes (6-8 are now available to stream), the Mole claimed three more victims as the group trekked through Australia's Blue Mountains and later, was chained together and abandoned in a creepy old warehouse.

But when we last left the players, Joi was faced with an incredibly difficult decision: Grab an exemption to save herself, thus letting $15,000 go up in flames, or cut the wire on the bomb and add that moolah to the prize pot.

So what did she decide, who exited the game and who snagged exemptions? Let's take an in-depth look at the three latest episodes.

Of all people to be faced with the chance of getting another exemption, of course it's Joi! This time around, though, she cuts the wire on the bomb and secures $15,000 for the group.

PRIZE POT TOTAL: $29,500

SUSPICIOUS BEHAVIOR: Even though Joi did the right thing, Will can't help but wonder if she's just covering her tracks. Since Joi has been atrociously bad at, well, everything else, he seems to think she could be a Mole attempting to earn everyone's trust back. (Personally, I still don't think it's her, but you do you, Will.)

QUIZ: Despite their partnership, Pranav begins suspecting that Avori is the Mole. Despite the fact that he's been spreading his answers across multiple suspects, his latest change of strategy gets him eliminated from the game. (Sooo, does this mean Avori isn't the Mole?)

MISSION: The group heads to the Blue Mountains where they must each carry a backpack through rugged terrain. Three of the bags hold $10,000, and the Mole has selected which players are carrying the money. From the jump, they must select two players to stay behind. They pick Kesi and Greg. Greg is fine staying back; it gives him more one-on-one time with his No. 1 suspect. Along the way, Will and Avori are forced to abort, leaving Casey, Jacob and Joi to finish it off.

But do their bags hold the cash?

Luckily, Casey and Joi bank $10K each, but the last of the money was in Kesi's bag.

SUSPICIOUS BEHAVIOR: Casey trying to back out of the mission over and over was shady af, then she took her sweet time trying to traverse the final leg. Plus, Kesi having money in her bag before the mission even started also raises my eyebrows. Hmm...

PRIZE POT TOTAL: $49,500

MISSION: The group is chained together in an abandoned warehouse. In front of them is a cage holding a key inside. The cage will periodically open every 10 minutes, and if they all can free themselves, they'll earn $20,000. But (there's always a "but"!), there's also an exemption inside. If someone snags it, not only will they lose the money, but those remaining will be left to sleep on the warehouse floor all night long. They select Kesi as the first player to free herself. The cage opens, and Kesi grabs that exemption and leaves them all to suffer in the cold — savage!

SUSPICIOUS BEHAVIOR: Well, duh! While it might seem sketchy that Kesi did what she did, I can't help but side with her on this one. Somebody was bound to take the exemption, and she simply beat him or her to the punch. But if she was the Mole, this was the perfect scenario for her to sabotage within reason.

QUIZ: With Kesi sitting pretty, everyone else tackles the next quiz. While Will locks in on Casey's odd behavior, Casey and Avori both target Jacob as their prime suspect... but Casey becomes the Mole's next victim.

Aaaand there goes my No. 1 suspect! Why did I think it was her? Not only was the edit super soft on her, always showing her to be a team player and a go-getter, but she was often spotted wearing red and white blouses... which are the reboot's signature colors. For so many episodes, she wasn't even on my radar — which would've made her the perfect Mole. Guess it's back to the drawing board.

MISSION: The players must decide which of two paintings is a fake. Whoever guesses correctly will have a shot at a future exemption. Kesi, Will and Greg choose a splatter-painted piece as the fake... and they're wrong, giving Joi, Avori and Jacob the shot at safety.

Now it's a game of two truths and a lie: Joi, Avori and Jacob become "Storytellers" — two of them will experience a night they will never forget, while one of them will go to a hotel and do absolutely nothing. If the "Interrogators" can sniff out the liar, they win $20K for the prize pot. If not, the Storytellers will become exempt.

The next day, Jacob tells them a story about eating a giant, native grub (gross!), but changes his tune from "it wasn't that bad" to "it was disgusting." Joi comes in next to tell them she was adorned with a ginormous python that she had to hold for minutes... but she can't remember which hand she held the head and tail in. Avori then says she spent the night walking across hot coals... but she refuses to show them the bottom of her feet.

When the time comes to decide which of them is lying, Will and Greg vote for Jacob, while Kesi thinks it's Avori. The result: Jacob was the liar!

SUSPICIOUS BEHAVIOR: Kesi, Kesi, Kesi... and come on! Jacob just isn't good enough — at anything! — to be the Mole!

PRIZE POT TOTAL: $69,500

QUIZ: Before they can actually embark on the evening's questionnaire, Joi decides to stir it up. At dinner, she "calls a spade a spade" and outs Jacob as "the s–thole mole" in front of the entire group! Luckily for us, we can dive right into Episode 8 to see all of the drama unfold.

So Jacob, of course, says that Joi is trying to cover up something. He calls her "s–t on the bottom of a shoe" for most missions, and "a complete screw-up." Honestly, eliminate them both! How are these two even still here? Unless...

Can Jacob be the Mole? Oh, man.

Avori tell us that it's not very smart to clue the other players in on what you're thinking, so either Joi is the Mole and is trying to deflect, or she doesn't think Jacob is the culprit at all.

Joi confirms this during her quiz: She actually thinks Will is the Mole and she wants the scent off of him. Basically, she just wants to confuse everyone.

Greg tells us that Jacob is high on his radar... but then he gets eliminated! 

MISSION: The team picks one player they think is the most observant. They select Avori. The challenge: Find Avori, who is hidden inside a bird cage somewhere in the city of Sydney.

SUSPICIOUS BEHAVIOR: Not only did Kesi not want to trust Joi's hunches, but she also tried distract them from finding out where the puzzle-solving pigeons were coming from. Then, when Avori is told to check a pizza box in her cage for a phone number, she claims there isn't one, but it's so clearly right there on the side!

Will, however, still thinks Jacob is the one slowing the operation down. However, Jacob is the one to come up with the idea of having Avori order a pizza, a task she does far too late. With the help of a homing pigeon, Kesi and Joi find Avori in the nick of time, but the guys — after following a pizza delivery guy to the correct location — wind up being late, ultimately blaming Avori for the failed mission.

Also noteworthy: Joi was killing it in this mission. Very non-Mole-like behavior, if you ask me. But why was Kesi so intent on not listening to her?

QUIZ: In Week 2's final elimination, we're shown that Avori, Will and Kesi are safe. As for Joi and Jacob's fates, that'll have to wait until next week when Netflix drops the season's final two episodes.
