The members continue to train as Santa. 

Their first mission is to guess what the kids are drawing.

Third is agility test

Fifth is test of cilmbing onto chimneys as a team
Last is to deliver presents on sleigh.

The one who gets most silver bells from wins will become the santa.

My Review (minor spoilers):
After watching the first part of Santa Academy last week, many were saying this episode will be a "filler", "bottle" or boring. 

Turns out not! Very often the funniest episodes are those where the members have no agendas. In such episodes, they are not so pressured about the episode flow, the screentime, etc. They just have a jolly good time.

I especially enjoyed the 2nd, 3rd and last mission the best. I totally LOL at all the ridiculous presents that the PDs made them wrap. I also always enjoyed the ad-libs that they say, and it this episode there were plenty (the random christmas carols, etc)!

All in all a pretty funny episode.
