Sugar Ray boxes with the Blue Team, and Cathy notes that it's a whole heck of a lot more fun than running on the treadmill. It's also challenging, and we get to watch Sugar Ray in action, which is good times. He's still looking fly. Sugar Ray says he's now part of their team, which means that they have bonus tunnel vision powers. Sugar Ray is magic! Or maybe he got one too many punches to the head after all.
The contestants then get a visit from the Sometimes-Grim Reaper himself, Dr. Huizenga. Except this time he has good news! Mike and Tara are record breakers. Mike lost 134 pounds of hydrated fat, but gained about 20 pounds of muscle. This fat loss has never been done in three months. Aw, go Mikey! Tara has had a 29% weight loss in three months, which also has never been done! Her reaction? "Holy shit." Dr. H. sits down with Mandi, who has gone from horrible condition on a treadmill test to superb! Ron, who had gastric bypass, has a different sort of fat distribution on his body. You've seen the moobs. Dr. H. says that he was one of the few contestants who was losing muscle while losing weight. This has something to do with his diabetes. However, he's now starting to get back some of his muscle and his blood sugar is coming down. He's happy to hear that he's going in the right direction. It's always nice when Dr. H. doesn't have to tell people that they're two seconds away from kicking the bucket.
Jillian meets with her team and asks them to head to the gym, minus Sione. She wants to reach out to him since he's all torn up about leaving Bob. She tells him that she hopes they can make the best of a bad situation. Sione tells her that he's adapting to change and has made up his mind to stay open and let Jillian kick his butt. Jillian assures him that he has all of her attention right now, that he's an amazing athlete, and that she thinks it's going to be fun to work him out. He's also well on his way to being particularly smoking hot. Jillian has him do some metabolic training in the gym, and he appears to be sweating his face off. And then, disaster! Sione twists his ankle while doing something involving ropes and step-ups on a weight bench. He looks like he's in some serious pain. The Black Team looks awfully nervous and Jillian calls for an MRI on Sione's leg as she ices him down.
