Sixteen new HouseGuests enter the house, but excitement turns to chaos when "The Mastermind" appears, kidnaps host Julie Chen Moonves, and steals the "HOH Relic". The HouseGuests are split into two groups of eight. One group—Adrian, Amy, Ava, Lauren, Mickey, Rylie, Vince, and Zach—must solve a massive bridge puzzle to access eight doors, each hiding a clue from Julie. Zach correctly chooses the door where Julie is held, winning $10,000. The other group—Ashley, Jimmy, Katherine, Keanu, Kelley, Morgan, Will, and Zae—searches through a room of fake relics to find the real one. Jimmy finds it and earns the power to choose four HouseGuests—himself, Adrian, Ashley, and Vince—to compete for Head of Household. In the HOH competition, they must balance six cores on their BB Blaster for 10 seconds. Vince succeeds and becomes the first HOH. After the HOH competition, the HouseGuests are surprised by the addition of former player Rachel Reilly to the cast. Then, the Mastermind reveals that one HouseGuest is secretly their Accomplice. If the others correctly identify the Accomplice, the Accomplice will be evicted immediately; if they guess wrong, the Accomplice officially enters the game.

After some discussion, the HouseGuests—except for the Accomplice—secretly vote on who they believe the Accomplice is. Rylie receives 11 votes, while the remaining 5 go to Zae. However, the Mastermind informs them that they are incorrect. A flashback and confessional reveals to the audience that Amy is the Accomplice. In the Diary Room, Zach learns that, until the jury begins, he can use his $10,000 prize to purchase one-time immunity if he is nominated for eviction following a veto meeting. As a late arrival to the game, Rachel is granted immunity from the first eviction, though she must live as a have-not. Three other HouseGuests earn immunity through a Chain of Safety: Rachel grants safety to Will, who then chooses Zach, who completes the chain by choosing Ava. On Day 4, Vince nominates Amy, Ashley, and Zae for eviction.

Following the nomination ceremony and the fallout from "Showergate," Ashley tearfully confronts Vince in the HoH room, feeling deeply hurt by his decision to nominate her. Meanwhile, Zae remains calm and ready to compete in the upcoming Veto competition. Rachel and Zach are selected to join Amy, Ashley, Vince, and Zae in the "Campsite Caper" Veto competition. For this competition, participants had to inspect three crime scenes by matching shoeprints, tire tracks, and scents, then correctly identify each perpetrator. Ashley won the Golden Power of Veto. Shortly after, a new alliance—the "Heavy Hitters," made up of Jimmy, Morgan, Rachel, Rylie, Vince, and Zach—is quietly formed. On Day 7, Ashley uses the Power of Veto to remove herself from the block, prompting Vince to nominate Kelley as her replacement. Tensions escalate afterward when Jimmy calls out Keanu in front of the house, dramatically labeling him "the true snake."

Immediately after the Veto Ceremony, Keanu approaches Jimmy to clear the air, and the two agree not to target each other moving forward. Meanwhile, Zae grows increasingly concerned about being this week’s target and forms a new alliance—the "Burger Boys," made up of himself, Rylie, Vince, Will, and Zach. Elsewhere in the house, Kelley begins to regret her decision to go up as a pawn. Rachel, meanwhile, starts campaigning for Zae to be evicted if he remains on the block after the upcoming BB Block Buster competition. When Zae hears about her plan, he publicly confronts her. Their heated and awkward exchange makes it clear to the entire house that they’re targeting one another. In the BB Block Buster competition, "Ransom Note," the nominees need to unscramble word clues to identify the item they need to steal. Kelley secures the win, leaving Amy and Zae as the final nominees for the week. On Day 10, Zae is evicted from the Big Brother house by a vote of 9–5.

Following Zae’s eviction, tensions escalate as Adrian, Keanu, Will, and Zach express frustration over being on the wrong side of the vote. Keanu becomes suspicious of Will, suspecting he may have flipped to evict Zae over Amy. Meanwhile, Rachel is thrilled to learn that Rylie, going against the Burger Boys, sided with the women to save Amy. Chaos strikes the house when the “Mastermind” breaks into "Hotel Mystère", stealing three powerful game advantages and the HoH key from the safe. In the "BB Break-In" competition, HouseGuests must navigate pitch-black sewers to recover the stolen items. Jimmy finds the missing HoH key, becoming the new Head of Household. Keanu earns the "Mystery Competitor" power, allowing a former HouseGuest to compete in the veto on his behalf. Kelley secures the "Mystery Veto," granting her a chance to compete in a private veto challenge after the standard one. Mickey wins the "HoH Interrogation" power, giving her the ability to anonymously dethrone the HoH—unless correctly identified during a formal interrogation. On Day 11, Jimmy nominates Adrian, Keanu, and Kelley for eviction.

Sometime after the nomination ceremony, several HouseGuests express their hopes that either Keanu or Kelley will be evicted this week. At the Veto draw, Keanu activates his "Mystery Competitor" power, altering the standard competition rules. Only one HouseGuest is drawn to play: Ava. Keanu continues to irritate others with his communication style, further isolating himself. During the Veto Competition, former Big Brother 20 winner Kaycee Clark enters the house to compete on Keanu’s behalf. The "Caught Creeping" competition, requires players to hold two buttons on a wall until they hear the code word "Creeper" — announced by Big Brother 25's Felicia Cannon. Once the word is heard, players race down a lane to press their buzzer, with one HouseGuest eliminated each round. Kaycee secures the Power of Veto, handing it over to Keanu, who then removes himself from the block. In his place, Jimmy nominates Amy. Kelley activates her "Mystery Veto" power, giving her the opportunity to compete in a solo challenge called "The Case of the Mystery Veto". She successfully solves the puzzle, allowing her to remove herself from the block as well. Forced to name a new nominee, Jimmy selects Will.

Adrian secures the win and removes himself from the block. On Day 17, Amy is evicted from the Big Brother house by a unanimous 13–0 vote.

After Amy's eviction, Rachel is feeling at her lowest point in the house, while Jimmy hopes to regain favor with his allies following his controversial Head of Household reign. In the “Twin Witness News” Head of Household competition, HouseGuests must correctly answer a series of true-or-false questions based on events witnessed by former Big Brother 17 HouseGuests, Julia and Liz Nolan. Lauren emerges victorious, becoming the new Head of Household. Meanwhile, Mickey and Morgan are unsure where Lauren stands in the game and consider whether Mickey should use her secret power to steal Lauren’s HoH reign. Vince congratulates Lauren on her win and attempts to gauge her thoughts on nominations. Lauren considers nominating Keanu, a frequent house target, and just needs two easy nominees to sit beside him on the block. Kelley once again volunteers to go up, leaving Lauren to choose one more. She debates between Adrian, Ashley, and Will—each of whom has already faced the block this season. On Day 18, Lauren officially nominates Keanu, Kelley, and Will for eviction.

Before the eviction, Ava pulls Vince and Zach into the storage room, urging them to vote to keep Will, warning that the votes aren’t there otherwise. Not wanting to force a tie for Lauren, they change their votes and evict Adrian. In the three-round “Killer Carnival” Head of Household competition, HouseGuests begin in teams of four. Kelley automatically advances to round two after not being selected for a team. Each team selects one member to walk across a track of balance beams and press four buttons in the fastest time. Keanu wins round one, eliminating Ashley, Mickey, Morgan, and Will. In round two, new teams of three compete in a relay race to press all four buttons as quickly as possible. Jimmy, Rylie, and Zach advance to the final round. Now competing individually, HouseGuests must once again cross the balance beam track and hit all four buttons in the fastest time. Rylie wins, becoming the new Head of Household. Back inside, Rylie plans to nominate Ashley, Mickey, and Morgan as his initial nominees. Sensing danger, Mickey activates her "HoH Interrogation" power. Rylie incorrectly guesses that Ashley holds the power, allowing Mickey to overthrow his HoH reign.

After being dethroned as Head of Household, Rylie confronts Mickey, feeling blindsided and now fearing he could be in danger of being nominated. Mickey plans to target three of the four HouseGuests who were on the wrong side of last week’s eviction vote. On Day 25, Mickey nominates Keanu, Kelley, and Rylie for eviction. With Morgan and Rachel selected to play in the Power of Veto competition, Mickey hopes the nominations remain the same—her main target being Keanu. In the "Flee the Scene" veto competition, HouseGuests must cross a bridge by stepping on one of two tiles that would highlight red or green. When stepping on a green tile, they can proceed to one of the next two tiles, but if they stepped on a red tile they must restart from the beginning. In the final round, Keanu crosses in the fastest amount of time to defeat Rachel and wins the Golden Power of Veto. Rachel begins to advocates for Vince to go up. However, Vince deflects the target onto Jimmy, claiming he’s closely aligned with Keanu. On Day 28, Keanu uses the Veto on himself. Mickey names Jimmy as the replacement nominee.

After the fallout from the Veto Ceremony, Rachel and Ashley continue to clash with Keanu. Ashley's allies rally around her, working to secure her safety for the week. Meanwhile, Mickey grows increasingly anxious, fearing she has become biggest target nominated. With the vote hanging in the balance, Ava emerges as the critical swing vote.

In celebration of making jury, the HouseGuests were invited to the neighboring "White Locust" resort. But just as the festivities began, "The Mastermind" appeared with a chilling announcement: one of them would become the first juror that very night. To host the evening’s events, Big Brother fan favorite Tyler Crispen from Big Brother 20 and Big Brother 22 returned to lead the competitions. In the first challenge, "Survive the White Locust," HouseGuests must slide three totems into three separate green zones on a game board. Ava clocked the fastest time, earning safety for the night. However, her win came with a twist. She had to nominate one HouseGuest to enter the Mastermind’s "Maniacal Maze". In this challenge, the HouseGuest would have six and a half minutes to complete the maze. If successful, they must nominate another HouseGuest to compete, but with one less minute on the clock. Failure to finish means immediate eviction. Ava chose Vince to go first. Vince then selected Lauren, who chose Morgan, who in turn chose Rachel. Unfortunately for Rachel, she failed to complete the maze in time and is eliminated from the game.

Returning to Part 1 of the final Head of Household competition, the Final 3 battle it out for a guaranteed spot in Part 3 of the competition. Morgan outlasts both Ashley and Vince, securing her place in the final round. Big Brother 16 runner-up and Big Brother 22 winner Cody Calafiore hosts the jury roundtable. After Ava arrives as the final jury member, the group discusses the Final 3 and debates who is most deserving of the win. Big Brother 16 HouseGuest Frankie Grande hosts Part 2 of the HoH competition, "Unmask the Mastermind," where HouseGuests must swing from a zipline to destroy three sets of blocks. They then search for special blocks that reveal the faces of six HouseGuests. Once the puzzle is completed, they open an envelope containing clues to help decode a password. Vince blows his lead allowing Ashley to win and advance to face Morgan in Part 3. In the final round, "Perjury Duty," the HouseGuests must correctly answer questions based on statements made by jury members. Ashley wins the Final Head of Household and votes to evict Morgan from the Big Brother house. The jury joins Julie Chen Moonves on stage to ask their final questions to the finalists, Ashley and Vince. After the final statements, the jury casts their votes for the winner of Big Brother. The pre-jury members also return to the stage to share their thoughts on the season. After falsely revealing Big Brother 2 winner and Big Brother 7: All Stars HouseGuest Will Kirby as "The Mastermind", the shocking truth is finally exposed. There hasn’t been just one Mastermind this season, but three. The real "Masterminds" are revealed to be surprise guests from earlier in the season, Frankie Grande and Jessie Godderz, as well as Big Brother 8 HouseGuest and America's Player Eric Stein. On Day 83, Ashley is crowned the winner of Big Brother, while Keanu is awarded America's Favorite HouseGuest.

Morgan outlasts both Ashley and Vince, securing her place in the final round. Big Brother 16 runner-up and Big Brother 22 winner Cody Calafiore hosts the jury roundtable. After Ava arrives as the final jury member, the group discusses the Final 3 and debates who is most deserving of the win. Big Brother 16 HouseGuest Frankie Grande hosts Part 2 of the HoH competition, "Unmask the Mastermind," where HouseGuests must swing from a zipline to destroy three sets of blocks. They then search for special blocks that reveal the faces of six HouseGuests. Once the puzzle is completed, they open an envelope containing clues to help decode a password. Vince blows his lead allowing Ashley to win and advance to face Morgan in Part 3. In the final round, "Perjury Duty," the HouseGuests must correctly answer questions based on statements made by jury members. Ashley wins the Final Head of Household and votes to evict Morgan from the Big Brother house. The jury joins Julie Chen Moonves on stage to ask their final questions to the finalists, Ashley and Vince. After the final statements, the jury casts their votes for the winner of Big Brother. The pre-jury members also return to the stage to share their thoughts on the season. After falsely revealing Big Brother 2 winner and Big Brother 7: All Stars HouseGuest Will Kirby as "The Mastermind", the shocking truth is finally exposed. There hasn’t been just one Mastermind this season, but three. The real "Masterminds" are revealed to be surprise guests from earlier in the season, Frankie Grande and Jessie Godderz, as well as Big Brother 8 HouseGuest and America's Player Eric Stein. On Day 83, Ashley is crowned the winner of Big Brother, while Keanu is awarded America's Favorite HouseGuest.
