Tigerheart just finished the zipline and met up with Dawnpelt. They are fortunate to see a cab and rush to get it. They had decided to do the guard at Somerset House.
Yellowfang and Brokenstar finally made it to the bridge. They were arguing in the cab the whole way to the bridge. Basically, Brokenstar was annoyed his mom was so slow. She said that it was a once in a Starclan opportunity and she was going to take everything in. She even got so caught up in a conversation about Meowton Abbey with the Cabbie, they almost missed their destination. Brokenstar is so frustrated, he rushes to do the Roadblock before Yellowfang can comment.
At that time Sandstorm and Brackenfur finally arrive. Brackenfur suits up and Sandstorm chats to Yellowfang how she is annoyed how Brackenfur is spending too much time showing photos of his grandkits and not focusing on the race. Yellowfang says that Sandstorm is not going to get any support on that one because she wished at least Brokenstar lived long enough to give her grandkits.
Reedwhisker and Mallownose realized they were first to the gardens. They see it is a pancake race. This is an event based on the tradition to have pancake races on Shrove Tuesday aka Pancake Day aka Fat Tuesday. Reedwhisker and Mallownose quickly figure out how to do it and get it done in the allotted time and just as team #2, Bramblestar and Squirrelflight arrive. Reedwhisker and Mallownose receive their clue and find out if they get to the pit stop first, they can win the new prize, the save. The pit stop clue says this place is connected to Lord Nelson. Reedwhisker and Mallownose don't know where that is and find a gracious cat who lets them use their cellphone and they find out it is Tralfagar Square. Luckily they find their cabbie and they saw Squirrelflight and Bramblestar had not finished the detour yet.
Crowfeather and Lionblaze make it to Somerset House and Tigerstar and Scourge make up some time and arrive 3 minutes later. They see in the detour they have to perform the changing of the guard. This is the Queen's Guard who block the entrance to the Buckingham Palace and St. James Palace. In the race, the detour is performed at the Somerset House. Crowfeather and Lionblaze do not know if the lead two teams did the other detour. They start to learn the steps and see Tigerstar and Scpurge arrive. "I"ll beat you guys for sure. You have no coordination", said Tigerstar. "Ignore him", said Crowfeather. "He is just trying to get under your skin". Tigerstar did get under Lionblaze's skin because he was having trouble with the steps. Turns out so did Scourge.
Jayfeather and Willowshine arrive as the first two teams are practicing the steps. "What is this task"? said Jayfeather. It is Changing of the Guard. You have to do some steps with me that they teach us and we do this together", said Willowshine. "How do I learn these steps if I cannot see them", said Jayfeather. "I have a plan. Trust me", said Willowshine. "Maybe we should try the other detour"? said Jayfeather. "There is probably some sort of twist to the race, so we are here. Let's try this at least once", said Willowshine. "Ok I trust you", said Jayfeather. Willowshine bats her eyes at Jayfeather and says, "I'm so happy".
Finally Crowfeather and Lionblaze perform and despite Lionblaze's worries, they did it on the first try. However Tigerstar and Scourge were having trouble because Scourge kept messing up. Tigerstar kept on yelling at Scourge. Scourge yelled back that he was not helping. After their sixth try, Jayfeather and Willowshine finished it on their 3rd try as he caught on to Willowshine's instructions and cues for their routine. "Look even the blind cat finished before us", said Tigerstar. "Not helping", said Scourge. "I am going to kick some sense into you", said Tigerstar. Now Hollyleaf and Leafpool arrive. "Let's just do the race", said Scourge. They left to do the race.
At the race, we see Millie and Blossomfall. They are arguing about how slow Millie was and Millie argued she did not want to lose and Echosong are practicing flipping the pancakes for the next rave with Millie and Blossomfall (2nd try).
