Reedwhisker and Mallownose got the final clue for this leg. They open the envelope and read it. We see Autumnsplash saying, "Teams will ride in a jeep through the safari in the game reserve. Then they will get off and follow the marked path to the pit stop.
"How exciting", said Reedwhisker.
"I wish I had my camera", said Mallownose. Reedwhisker was happy that he didn't. Mallownose was the type of cat that liked to take pictures whenever he went someplace new. He even took photos of his meals when he went out to eat.
Tigerstar and Scourge read the clue. "I'm going to show these Tigers and Lions whose boss", said Tigerstar.
"Um they'd probably eat you for lunch", said Scourge.
"Wouldn't that make them cannibals or the like"? said Tigerstar.
"They are different species. Anyhow the point is, just sit back and shut up and enjoy the ride", said Scourge.
Meanwhile Millie and Blossomfall see the clue for the Detour. "Oh wow, this would be the perfect one to use the Express Pass. This is great. We don't have to deal with the elephant poop", said Blossomfall.
"That is right" said Millie. "But we still have the Speed Bump".
"At least it won't be as yucky as the elephant poop one and maybe even faster than that task and we can catch up", said Blossomfall.
They found the Speed Bump. They open the envelope and we see Autumnsplash saying, "For this Speed Bump, the contestants must correctly identify 7 different animal prints".
Millie said, "We may be able to crank this one out quickly".
They were given a set of cards that had photos of different animal prints. The first one was a lion. Millie and Blossomfall discussed it and finally Blossomfall writes down their answer on a piece of paper. She wrote, "lion".
The next one was a giraffe. "I think it is a giraffe. See the print? It is almost like a horse, I think giraffes have hooves like that", said Millie.
"You've seen a horse before"? said Blossomfall.
"On TV", said Millie.
"Oh but not in real life"? said Blossomfall.
"Just write down giraffe and let's move on", said Millie.
The next one was an elephant. "I'm not sure if this is an elephant or a hippopotamus"? said Millie.
"Let's just put hippopotamus . We can always switch it later", said Blossomfall.
The rest were: zebra, hippopotamus, chimpanzee, meerkat. They wrote: zebra, elephant, chimpanzee, and ?. So they got two wrong.
At this point Squirrelflight and Bramblestar were just getting into the jeep. "This looks great", said Squirrelflight. "Not like any animals you would see back at home. Plus you know I refuse to go to a zoo so I never seen these animals before".
"Yes it is great", said Bramblestar.
Leafpool and Hollyleaf got into their jeep. They also loved the experience.
Finally Reedwhisker and Mallownose got out of the jeep and found the marked trail. They ran up and found the mat with Autumnsplash. "Hello Reedwhisker and Mallownose. Welcome to South Africa. You are team number...one", said Autumnsplash. "Congrats. For winning this leg, you get a years supply of gasoline from Catgo".
"That's great", they said. "Thank you".
Tigerstar and Scourge ran out of the jeep and ran up the trail to the mat too. When they got to the mat, Autumnsplash said, "Welcome to South Africa, you are team number 2. Another leg at number 2. How do you feel about that"?
"We won't rest until we are back at number 1. And we will do whatever means it takes to do it", said Tigerstar.
"Whatever means"? said Autumnsplash. "You do remember we have rules here".
"He just means that we have strategies to outwit the other teams and all", said Scourge.
Then Millie and Blossomfall see that they got two wrong. They have no idea what the last animal is. Blossomfall is nervous and is pacing back and forth. That is when she sees a list of the animals on the safari and sees meerkat listed. She tells Millie and they write Hippopotamus and meerkat for the ones they got wrong and then they are told they are right and they got the clue. They find out about taking the jeep that will lead them to the trail to the Pit Stop. They start to run over.
Jayfeather and Willowshine get into a jeep. Willowshine cuddles up next to Jayfeather. Surprisingly, Jayfeather does not back away but he does not look at Willowshine but instead looks out his door at the animals.
Squirrelflight and Bramblestar get to the trail and run to the mat. "Welcome to South Africa, you are team number 3".
They give each other a big hug.
Millie and Blossomfall get there just as Tigerheart and Dawnpelt leave in their jeep. They run to the next jeep and beg the driver to please go fast and pass the other team. They start to pass Tigerheart and Dawnpelt.
Dawnpelt yells, "Oh I think not. Driver, go fast, beat that other team, we are in a race, please, go go"! Then their driver goes fast too.
At this time Leafpool and Hollyleaf's jeep arrives at the trail. They get out quickly and run to the mat. Autumnsplash said, "You are team number 4. Good job".
About 7 minutes later, Jayfeather and Willowshine arrive at the mat and they are pronounced team number 5.
After going back and forth, finally Tigerheart and Dawnpelt's driver is slightly ahead. They are able to get out first, just a minute ahead of the other team. They run out and see Millie and Blossomfall behind them. But Tigerheart and Dawnpelt are faster runners and ultimately they are the ones to get to the mat first. "You are team number 6", said Autumnsplash
Millie and Blossomfall finally get to the pit stop and realize they are last. "Sorry but you are the last team to arrive. Good effort, but you have been eliminated from the race. What do you think of your performance on the race"?
Blossomfall said, "We had a bad break today and ultimately we could have done better overall in the other legs. But it was a great experience and it made me closer to my mom".
"Aww", said Autumnsplash.
Then Millie and Blossomfall give each other a big hug.
In the next two legs, the teams will be going to China.
