This section of the story will go back to when the teams got their Detour clue and show how the first several teams completed their Detour.
Squirrelflight and Bramblestar opened their clue for the Detour. We see Tansy saying, "This is the Detour. There is a choice of two tasks, each with their own pros and cons. The teams will see what they are and decide which task is better for them. The first Detour task is called Churning. The teams must go to Frilandsmuseet, an open air historical museum on the outskirts of Copenhagen and churn 6 sticks of butter using the traditional method. This location is a little farther than the other one and it takes more strength but can possibly be done quicker than the other one. The second Detour is called Parking. The teams recreate a parklet or parking space, which is a popular place for residents of Copenhagen to hang out. They set up their parking space environment and sit and relax and enjoy. The teams will be required to recreate either a picnic or home version of the parklet by looking at a picture and recreating it to the T. This task is closer to where the teams are now, but it requires patience as teams must have great attention to detail. And it is possible it may take longer than the churning task".
Bramblestar says, "The churning task seems more straightforward. It may be further but we may be able to get it done quicker. What do you think"?
Squirrelflight says, "Good point. Okay, let's do that. Let's go back to our cab and see if our cabbie knows how to get to this place".
They go to the cab and the cabbie knows how to get to the location. Or at least he claims to know. As they travel to their location, we see Reedwhisker and Mallownose reading the clue and deciding what to do. They are both unsure but finally decide on the Parking one. They ask their cabbie if they know how to get to the location for this task. The cabbie nods and says that he knows where it is.
Squirrelflight is getting worried and says, "Do you think we are going the right way? I know it is supposed to take a little longer to get there than the other task but it seems awfully long".
Bramblestar says, "I think he may be lost. Let's ask him to borrow his phone and look up directions. Cabbie, may we borrow your phone to get directions to the place"?
Cabbie says, "Sure".
Bramblestar looks up the location they are given and gets directions and gives them to the cabbie. Finally they are on their way. As Reedwhisker and Mallownose make their way to the Parking task site, we see Lionblaze and Crowfeather read their clue.
Lionblaze says, "I'm thinking churning and you"?
Crowfeather says, "I'm not sure what this Parking task entails. Yes let's do churning". They ask their cabbie if he knows how to get there. He knows and they are on their way.
Reedwhisker and Mallownose arrive at the Parking task site. They view the pictures and decide on the picnic task. They didn't realize the photo was so small. They do their best to take careful note of the items in the photo and get to work.
As Lionblaze and Crowfeather make their way to the open air museum, Leafpool and Hollyleaf read their clue. "Hmm. Hollyleaf, I'm not sure which one we should do. What do you think"? said Leafpool.
"Let me see the descriptions again. Let's do churning I think"? said Hollyleaf.
"I was leaning towards that. Churning it is", said Leafpool. They asked their cabbie who didn't know where it was and Hollyleaf asked to borrow his phone to get directions. He complied and she got directions and gave them to their cabbie.
Bramblestar and Squirrelflight finally arrived at the open air museum. They viewed a demonstration by a worker at the museum and start to get to work. As they get started, Lionblaze and Crowfeather arrive and view the demonstration.
Meanwhile at Parking, Reedwhisker and Mallownose are experiencing some frustration as they are having trouble viewing some of the details of the parking space and feel like they are missing something but they cannot figure what.
Bramblestar and Squirrelflight are slightly ahead of Lionblaze and Crowfeather.
Back at Parking, Reedwhisker and Mallownose go to the judge and see if their spot is complete. The judge shakes his head "no". They go back to the photo to see what they missed. They are confused because it seems right to them.
Bramblestar and Squirrelflight are still ahead at this point. Leafpool and Hollyleaf just started not long ago. The teams wonder if it is faster to do it on their own but only Lionblaze and Crowfeather have the type of strength to do it. They ask if this is possible and the dairymaid says that it is. And the other teams continue they way they have been going.
But shortly after Lionblaze and Crowfeather are able to over take them and get done before Bramblestar and Squirrelflight. Squirrelflight turns to Bramblestar and says, "Sorry I wish I could do that too".
Bramblestar says, "You are doing great. Don't worry".
Lionblaze and Crowfeather are able to start making the sticks using the mold. They are having a little trouble with the mold and only have one done when Squirrelflight and Bramblestar get started. Therefore with Squirrelflight's quick work and Lionblaze and Crowfeather's troubles, they are both tied at 2 sticks. When they both get to 3 sticks, Leafpool and Hollyleaf are finally able to start on their molds.
Meanwhile back at Parking, Reedwhisker and Mallownose are getting extremely frustrated. "I wish we had one of those Express Passes", said Reedwhisker.
"Yeah they didn't offer them yet", said Mallownose. Reedwhisker who is usually good at keeping his cool gets very frustrated and kicks one of the chairs and hurts his foot. "Ow", said Reedwhisker. Mallownose is shocked and comes to Reedwhisker for a moment and asks him if he is okay. Reedwhisker who is now embarrassed tells him that he is and they get back to work.
At the Churning now, both Squirrelflight and Bramblestar, Lionblaze and Crowfeather are at 5 sticks. Leafpool and Hollyleaf are at 2 sticks.
Back at Parking, both teammates are getting worried. They go to the judge again who tells them they are still wrong and Millie and Blossomfall arrive at the Parking task at this point.
Now at Churning both Squirrelflight, Bramblestar and Lionblaze and Crowfeather teams are ready to be checked by the dairymaid. She gives the ok to both teams. Bramblestar gets the clue just slightly quicker than Lionblaze which makes them team 1 at this point. Both teams wish Leafpool and Hollyleaf luck.
Finally, Mallownose goes back to the photo and notices there is some flowerpot but they had the design upside down and they finally fix it and go back to the judge. She gives them the ok and they cheer and hug. They get the clue.
Stay tuned for next time as Millie, Blossomfall, Tigerheart, Dawnpelt, Leafstar and Echosong as they try to tackle one of the Detours.
