"Last time, on the Ridonculous Race…"

A montage as the camera showed narrated the last episode's events; teams running past the Surfers in the bushes, MacArthur breathing fire after eating an abundance of peppers, Mickey trying and failing to eat the spiciest pepper, MacArthur carrying the burro, Dwayne being blinded by spiciness, and him and Dwayne reaching against the Surfers to the chill zone before the latter team was eliminated.

"Things got spicy in Mexico as teams ate their way through peppers and traveled under the hot, hot sun. And to turn up the heat, Josee used a Boomerang against Father and Son. It seemed that the heat had gotten to them. Unfortunately, it was the dude-dem Surfers that ultimately couldn't handle it. The word dude will never sound as sweet to my ears again…"

"Hopefully this time I get to kick off a team I don't like."

The scene switched back to the temple. "Who will vanish this week? Stick around- This is the Ridonculous Race."

Don flashed a smile for the camera.

[after intro]

"Welcome back to Mexico, where the Ice Dancers are first to depart; both from the starting line and their sense of good sportsmanship, as they taunt the second place cops."

MacArthur and Sanders were shown with their arms folded and scowling looks on their faces.

"La la la la la, la la la la la!" Jacques sang as he jumped and twirled around.

Josee laughed. "How does it feel being second fiddle to us?"

MacArthur growled. "Grr…"

Interview; The Cadets

"From now on, we get back to the winner's circle and stay there by any means necessary." Sanders told her partner.

"Does this mean I can…" MacArthur began.

But Sanders didn't let her finish. "No, you can not taser anyone."

She slumped down in dismay. "Aw…"

End Interview

"Travel to Canto, Vietnam." Josee announced.

A montage began with Vietnam's flag as Don described their next destination.

"Canto is the largest city in Vietnam's thriving Mekong Delta. Teams will find their next tip here, along the Mekong river, where the fish are plentiful…" He groaned as a local brought him one of those fish. "and pungent. Get that thing away from me!"

The montage ended as Don ran, switching to Sanders, Crimson, Emma and Jay getting their tips before the scene focused on Father and Son.

Dwayne tried reading the tip, but his vision blurred and faded into two, his eyes puffy and not focused clearly.

"You read the tip, I'll get us a taxi!" Dwayne declared.

He crashed offscreen into something. "Ow!"

"Wrong way, dad!" Junior exclaimed.

"Right, I knew that." Dwayne said, trying to save face.

"He's still having trouble seeing clearly." Junior remarked. "I'm wondering if this is going to come back to bite us."

Interview; Dwayne

"Turns out I have a bad reaction to spice. I shouldn't be surprised considering what happened in Morocco."

A brief flashback was shown of him eating the stew in Morocco and being temporarily blinded.

"Still, we're not out yet. And I'm not giving up til the very end!"

End Interview

The scene showed a screen, showing the flight taking off.

"All six teams are aboard the same flight to Vietnam." Don began. "When they land it'll be a race to find taxis."

The plane landed and the real race had begun; The teams ran out of the airport, four of them claiming taxis.

"Taxi!" Sanders called out.

"Chauffeur!" Josee shouted.

The taxis sped away, leaving the Twins and Father and Son hanging.

"Aw man, all the cabs have left." Mickey sighed.

"Look, over there!" Junior pointed to some bike-powered carriages, in which there were two young boys sitting and waiting to pedal. One of the boys was resting in the carriage, his head resting on his arm as he tried to take a nap.

"Let's go! To the Canto River!" Junior requested.

"Can you take us to the Canto River?" Jay asked.

"Do I have to? I'm really tired…" the boy told the twins.

The younger twin didn't let that stop them. "No matter, we'll pedal there ourselves!"

"Are you sure about…"

Jay was guided to the carriage seat by Mickey, who then ran and hopped on the bike seat.

The younger twin started pedaling, breathing rapidly as he moved them forward.

The first two cabs had stopped at the river region, revealing the Goths and the Ice Dancers.

"Bye, see you at the finish line!" Josee taunted.

Loki growled, jumping out of Ennui's shirt and attacking Jacques.

"No, bad bunny!" Josee ran to help her partner, only to get clawed at.

A cloud formed as the Ice Dancers tried to fight the bunny and failed.

"Nice work." Crimson told Loki.

Ennui got the tip. "It's a super-team Challenge. We need to noodle catfish together."

"Fish?!" Jacques exclaimed.

"Together?!" Josee exclaimed simultaneously.

"Um, what?" Crimson asked, not very amused.

The scene switched to Don narrating the challenge. "Catfish noodling is a local fishing technique using fingers as bait for enormous gross catfish. In this super team challenge, teams must work in groups of three and collectively noodle six catfish to receive their next tip. Added bonus; if a super team catches a Ridonculous Race branded catfish, they'll receive a Zip-it Ticket, allowing them to bypass the second challenge and go straight for the Chill Zone." The scene switched to the Vietnamese temple. "The last team to arrive here may be headed home."

"We have to work… with them?!" Josee shrieked.

"The Goths and fish?!" Jacques screamed.

Interview; The Ice Dancers

"I can't stand fish. They're so slimy and wiggly!" Jacques complained.

Josee dismissed her partner's concerns. "Too bad. We need that branded fish to guarantee another gold, even if it means…"

New Interview; The Goths

"Working with the same people who have accused us of being monsters?" Ennui questioned.

"And tried to steal our bunny?" Crimson asked as well.

"What a cruel twist of fate."

Loki chirped up in agreement.

"Do we have a choice?"

End Interviews

"Hopefully the boat is big enough." Ennui remarked as the two teams went forward.

Soon enough, the Sisters and the Cadets arrived at the delta, Sanders holding onto the tip.

"A super team challenge?" the more reasonable cop questioned. "Who do we have to work with?"

MacArthur shuddered upon seeing the Ice Dancers in the boat and to a lesser extent, the Goths standing there, stoic as ever.

"Anyone wish to join us?" Crimson asked.

Immediately taking the opportunity to advance forward, Emma exclaimed, "Come on!"

The future lawyer dragged her younger sister forward and hopped in the boat with her, starting up the engine as Kitty sat down.

"Au revoir, mall cops! Ha ha!" Jacques taunted.

And the boat sped off.

MacArthur groaned. "What's worse- waiting for the weaker teams, or working with those Ice freaks?"

A few moments later, the bi-cycle carriage rolled in, showing the Father and Son.

"Alright, we made it!" Dwayne cheered before running off.

Junior was shown running to the Don Box, getting the tip… as Dwayne ran right past his son and into the water.

"Dad!"

He dropped the tip and went after his dad.

All the while, Mickey, his jacket now laced with sweat, came to a stop as they reached the riverbank.

"That was so far, but we made it!" Jay cheered.

Mickey collapsed, lying on the ground, much to the confusion of the boy. Jay ran to the Don Box and got the tip before realizing Mickey wasn't there. He ran back, extending his hand to help his brother up.

"Over here!" Sanders called out to the other teams from the boat she and MacArthur were in.

Junior was shown helping his dad to the boat.

Mickey held his mouth in pain, the camera putting a bit more emphasis on his missing tooth. "What's the challenge?"

Jay read the tip, then looked at the water in dismay. "Oh boy…"

The scene switched to the Axis of Darkness, with Kitty, Josee and the Goths in the water. As Emma scanned her surroundings, Jacques put on some silver gloves to protect his hands.

"Jacques, get in here and noodle some fish already!" Josee ordered. "For the love of gold, this is just fish! And take off those gloves!"

He folded his arms. "Never!"

Interview; Jacques

The scene showed Jacques on the docks, his gloves shimmering in the sunlight.

"I'll stick my bare hands in a glove full of bullet ants, but not a fish! They're so cold and slimy! It's like giving grandma a foot rub."

He shuddered.

End Interview

Soon Loki jumped from the boat and into the water, paddling along like a little puppy.

"Um, aren't you worried about your pet bunny being eaten?" Kitty asked.

"Loki doesn't know fear." Crimson responded.

"I wouldn't underestimate him," Jacques said. "He literally jumped into a lion's mouth."

Kitty laughed at the irony of the situation, holding her arms around herself. "Wow, even a bunny has more courage than you!"

"Hey!"

The scene switched to the Axis of Light, with the Twins, Cadets, and Father and Son in the boat, moving along as Sanders stood on the bow, scanning the area for fish.

"Okay, anyone have a plan?" Jay asked.

"Our prospects are grim." MacArthur told them. "We have four weaklings, five if we count Sanders, and one of us…" He pointed with her thumb to Dwayne. "Needs his eyeballs readjusted."

"Well, technically he doesn't need his eyes…" Sanders reasoned. "Even though he should get them checked…"

Junior looked disappointed. "You have that little faith in us?" The youngest competitor turned to the twins. "Why aren't you saying anything to refute her?"

Jay and Mickey gave sad, resigned looks. "We're used to it."

Interview; Junior

The scene showed Junior sitting on a rock.

"Man, that's kinda depressing. These guys need more confidence, stat."

End Interview

"Anyway, time's a wastin." MacArthur remarked. "We need to move!"

MacArthur leaned in to dive into the lake, only for the twins and Dwayne to roll out and tumble into the water. Junior and Sanders remained in the boat, tumbling to their sides.

"Oh, I guess you're helping me." MacArthur remarked.

Meanwhile, Ennui's fingers were shown within the water as he tried to attract fish to him. But as he approached a school of fish, they quickly swam away..

"Get out of the water." Josee ordered him. "Your monster aura is scaring them away!"

"And how do you know your voice isn't?" he asked in retaliation.

On the other side of the lake, Sanders, now in the water, scooped up a fish.

But MacArthur had a much different method in mind. One that involved poking her arms in and out of the water.

"Get on my arm, dumb mustache fish!" She growled. "Get out here and eat my arm, that's an order!"

Sanders' fish jumped off her hand. "No!"

The fish swam off.

"Maybe you could try… I don't know? Not yelling for a change." Sanders advised from the boat. "Your voice is terrifying the fish."

"And don't forget her face, personality and odor." Josee added walking by. "All very scary!"

MacArthur growled.

Interview; Cadets

"They think they're so funny, but the joke's gonna be on them when we crush their golden dreams forever!" MacArthur screamed.

"First things first, we need to win!"

End Interview

Sanders soon got another fish, holding it tightly in her gasp.

"Something on your mind, pal?" Dwayne asked.

"How can you tell?" Mickey asked.

"You're awfully quiet back there," he remarked. "If this is about what MacArthur said earlier then…" Suddenly he felt something. "Oh, oh!" Dwayne lifted up his hand, revealing a catfish on it. "I got one!"

Jay's hand soon emerged as he caught another fish. "Oh, man! This feels weird, and maybe even wrong."

The two quickly approached the boat.

Sanders grabbed the fish from Jay's hand.

Junior tried to grab the fish, only to be smacked by the tailfin as Dwayne held his hand a bit too high.

His dad quickly apologized. "Oh, sorry!"

He turned the fish around, only to have Junior be squirted with water.

Interview; Dwayne

"What is wrong with me? This is the third time I've been temporarily blinded or otherwise had blurry vision in a challenge. I need to make it up, but how?"
