For the first challenge of the season, the builders have to make their own party boat. After the build, each boat was tested to see if it can float and move around brick lake. Neena & Sam won the challenge, and nobody was identified as second place in this challenge. Brad & Mike and Emilee & Kelly end up in the bottom two.

The teams each have to build a volcano and its story based on the environment that they have picked. The top two teams were David & Ben and Christopher & Robert. David & Ben won the challenge. The bottom two teams were Chris & Jordan and Neena & Sam. Since Neena & Sam didn't activate the golden brick and ended up in the bottom two, the golden brick has given back to Will making them the first team to get the brick but not activate it. Chris & Jordan were eliminated because their build didn't get the volcano feeling and the special effect didn't happen.

405"Cirque du Soleil"October 26, 2023 (2023-10-26)LEG-4051.00[11]
The teams are divided into two super teams of four teams in each. The four teams in each super team have to work together to create their own Cirque du Soleil with four acts in it. Each team has to make one of the four acts in their Cirque du Soleil. During the build, Will announced that the team with the best solo act will win a trip to Las Vegas and tickets to a Cirque du Soleil show of their choice. Before they showed off their build, Will announced that David had to leave since he was not feeling well. The judges had trouble choosing a winning team, so both teams tied for the first time in Lego Masters history. The tie in the competition concluded with no one getting eliminated. Aubree & Ryan had the best solo act of the night, winning them the trip to Las Vegas with the tickets for the Cirque du Soleil show of their choice.
416"Is It Brick?"November 2, 2023 (2023-11-02)LEG-4061.18[12]
Before Will told the builders what the challenge was, he announced that due to health reasons, Poppy & Ben withdrew from the competition. The teams have to take an item from Will's office then have to make an exact replica of it out of lego bricks. During the build, Will said that a special guest will come and try to guess what is real and what is brick. If they can trick the guest they could win the challenge, and if not then they could be in trouble. Before the judges looked at the build, Neena & Sam decided to use the golden brick. After judging the builds and putting them in the office, the special guest was revealed to be the previous season winner Stacey. Stacey managed to guess the TV and the red chair while missing the clarinet, the record player, the telescope, the camera, and the rug. The top two teams were Emilee & Kelly and Paul & Nealita. Paul & Nealita won the challenge. The bottom two teams were Aubree & Ryan and Allyson & Melanie. Aubree & Ryan went home because the screen lacked the curves it needed.

438"Lego 2K Drive"November 16, 2023 (2023-11-16)LEG-4081.04[14]
This episode is teamed up with Lego 2K Drive. The teams have to pick one racecar and one water vehicle, then smash them together, then take the pieces and make a new remote control vehicle. For the first time in Lego master history, the brick pit is off limits so the pieces they will use will come from their chosen vehicles. After the build they will race their vehicles on a race track. The best vehicle will get to start in pole position for the race. During the build, Will announces that the winning team will have their Lego car be turned into a playable vehicle in the game.

The teams have to build roller coasters. Each build has to have a mechanical lift and a big drop. Christopher & Robert won the challenge with no one being announced in second place.

4510"Bricks & All"December 7, 2023 (2023-12-07)LEG-4100.81[16]
We look back on the four seasons on some of our favorite brick smashes and crashes. With a total of 100 Lego smashes and crashes reviewed over the four years. But due to how long they made this, we never saw numbers twenty-nine through two.
4611"Four-Ever Finale"December 14, 2023 (2023-12-14)LEG-4110.93[17]
The final three teams are Christopher & Robert, Neena & Sam, and Paul & Nealita. They are tasked with making their master build.
