Tonight on “LEGO Masters,” the builders will ransack a detective’s office and leave with an item of their choice that they must replicate into a one-to-one scale model. With just 10 hours to deceive the eye, the contestants must be ambitious with their builds, pushing their limits to recreate complex details. In a surprise twist, “LEGO Masters” Season 3 Winner, Stacey Roy, must play detective and spot which items are real and which are cleverly disguised brick facades in the all-new “Is It Brick?” episode of “LEGO Masters” airing Thursday, November 2 (9:02-10:00 PM ET/PT) on FOX.

With an infinite amount of LEGO bricks, the realm of possibilities is endless. These ambitious teams of two will battle it out for the chance to win a $100,000 cash prize, the ultimate LEGO trophy, the title of LEGO MASTERS and for the first time ever, the winning build will be turned into an actual LEGO set. Actor and executive producer Will Arnett hosts with Brickmasters Amy Corbett and Jamie Berard back as judges.

These are the teams still in the running for this year’s title: Allyson & Melanie (friends), Aubree & Ryan (married), Christopher & Robert (tech bros), David (Poppy) & Ben (grandfather/grandson), Emilee & Kelly (competitive moms), Luis & Alex (teachers), Neena & Sam (mother/son) and Paul & Nealita (siblings). See all this season’s contestants in the gallery above.

9:00 p.m. — Previously on “LEGO Masters”! In episode 5, the duos divided into two big teams to construct a mesmerizing show consisting of four breathtaking acts in a Cirque du Soleil spectacle. In the end, judges Amy and Jamie were so thrilled with everyone’s work they decided not to eliminate anyone! But we know that won’t be the case tonight, so buckle up and get your brick on!

9:05 p.m. — The contestants arrive in the build room to see Will’s detective agency set up. He then delivers the news that unfortunately, due to health reasons, Poppy & Ben are unable to continue in the competition. Next the host explains this week’s challenge is called “Is it Brick?” The builders must each take something from his detective office and replace it with a 1:1 replica built entirely out of LEGO bricks. These builds must look so realistic, that from a distance, they won’t be able to tell what’s real and what’s brick. Jamie tells them to be “ambitious” and says they’ll take the level of difficulty into account. They have 10 hours. Let’s go!

9:10 p.m. — Aubree & Ryan take the retro TV, Luis & Alex grab a record player, Christopher & Robert will work on an office chair, Paul & Nealita will build a telescope, Emilee & Kelly have the clarinet, Allyson & Melanie took the camera and Neena & Sam are taking a HUGE 9×12 area rug! Will says this is the first time this season he’s “legitimately nervous.”

9:20 p.m. — Amy emphasizes she wants to see how much the builders challenge themselves. Jamie is shocked by Neena & Sam’s choice of the area rug. They’ll have to build a mile-a-minute to complete this. Allyson & Melanie have one of the smaller objects in the room, and Will says they better make sure it’s accurate because there’s no room for error. Aside from Neena & Sam’s rug, Christopher & Robert’s chair is the most ambitious build and they’re beginning to realize that. Meanwhile, Sam realizes he and his mother took on more than they could chew with this rug. They’ll probably have to sacrifice some size and detail to make this work. A few hours into the build, Will receives a phone call and commands everyone to stop what they’re doing. There’s a twist! He announces a special guest will be arriving later to look over each build. If the contestants can trick this secret judge into thinking their builds are real, they’ll be in a much better position to win the challenge.

9:30 p.m. — While surveying the room, Amy is impressed that Luis & Alex have added a power function to their build. The record player will actually turn a record. Jamie says Aubree & Ryan are struggling with “tricky details” on their TV — mostly the curved screen. One hour remains on the clock.

9:35 p.m. — As the clock winds down we discover the true kindness of others  as Emilee & Kelly, Allyson & Melanie and Paul & Nealita gather around to help Neena & Sam finish their massive rug. Neena is in tears from everyone’s good will. Meanwhile, Christopher & Robert are completely fixated on themselves and the chair they’re struggling to finish. They’re freaking out. At last, time expires and the villainous duo manages to finish the chair. When asked, Neena & Sam decide they’ll use the golden brick today, even though they’re happy with their build. The reason? It’s not a complete 1:1 ratio. They cannot be eliminated.

9:40 p.m. — Up first are Emilee & Kelly with their clarinet. Amy says it was small, but it wasn’t easy. There are no straight lines. The fact they took the time to find the perfect pieces is commendable. Allyson & Melanie present their vintage camera. Jamie calls it a “compelling copy” but it’s the least ambitious. Amy says the fact that it’s small makes her notice the flaws more easily. Luis & Alex’s record player stands out as the only model with a power function. Jamie commends them for bringing it to life, but says it “doesn’t quite seem finished.”

9:45 p.m. — Christopher & Robert bring forward their office chair. Amy calls it “incredibly ambitious” and congratulates them for pulling off a 1:1 scale. On the downside, it is challenging to see the reality in this build. Paul & Nealita are next with their telescope. Jamie says, “This is the model we’ve been hoping to see from you.” Amy says the proportions are done well and she can’t see a single stud. Aubree & Ryan’s vintage TV is missing the screen. Amy wished they’d started the screen earlier and she can see the gaps. Last up are Neena & Sam with their area rug. Jamie says it’s like nothing he’s ever seen on “LEGO Masters.” Their ambition is as big as the rug. He’s also happy they chose to use the golden brick because this was a 1:1 challenge and they’re missing some of the finer details.

9:50 p.m. — After reviews from the Brickmasters, the builds are placed meticulously back in Will’s office. Next, Season 3 winner Stacey Roy comes out as a special guest. Stacey has 60 seconds to identify all seven objects in his office made of LEGO bricks. The order she calls things out: The TV, the chair…and that’s it! She even guessed the dart board, which was incorrect. Only two builds were called out in Stacey’s evaluation.

10:00 p.m. — After thinking everything over and taking Stacey’s observations into consideration, the Brickmasters name the top two teams: Emilee & Kelly and Paul & Nealita. The winners of this challenge are Paul & Nealita for their telescope! Next they name the bottom two teams: Aubree & Ryan and Allyson & Melanie. It looks like Neena & Sam should have held on to that golden brick. Ultimately, the Brickmasters decide to send home Aubree & Ryan.
