"Last time, on the Ridonculous Race…"

A montage as the camera showed narrated the last episode's events; the Axis of Light were shown sailing in the lake, a blind Dwayne grabbing a crocodile by the tail and hauling it to the boat, MacArthur fighting a croc, the Axis of Darkness working together, Loki chasing down the branded catfish that leapt onto Jacques' hand, and the Adversity Twins, Cadets and Father and Son in the cave before the third team was eliminated.

"There's plenty of fish in the sea, but none as ugly as the ones we saw last time. Dwayne's eye troubles gave his team a real disadvantage- that actually worked out for them in the most grotesque way possible. A three way alliance, and a bunny, tied the Axis of Darkness for first place, while the other three teams- the Axis of Light, were plunged into the darkness of a war cave. In the end, Father and Son were the last ones out, and cut from the competition."

The scene switched back to the present.

"Stick around, it's time for… the Ridonculous Race."

Don flashed a smile for the camera.

[after intro]

"Welcome back to Vietnam, yesterday's chill zone and today's starting line. Only five teams remain and the Axis of Darkness has the advantage in numbers and in order of departure."

The Ice Dancers, Goths and Sisters were shown at the chill zone running up to the box.

Interview; Sisters

"This alliance is not a friendship." Emma told her audience. "It's just an agreement to work with people we hate."

Kitty just nodded.

New Interview; Ice Dancers

The Ice Dancers were shown near a temple.

"If we get the chance to eliminate the Cadets, we take it!" Jacques declared.

"And if we get a chance to eliminate the Sisters or Goths, we make it look like an accident." Josee prophesied. Her voice grew higher as she pretended to act ashamed. "Oops. What just happened?"

Josee began laughing innocently.

"I don't know what happened."

Jacques also laughed as their laughter became more maniacal each passing second.

New Interview; Goths

"It's not the darkness one should be afraid of. It's what lurks in the darkness." Ennui forewarned.

Crimson acknowledged the truth. "The Ice Dancers will come after us, but we will be ready."

"They will see that they were wrong about us. All of them will."

Loki chattered in agreement.

End Interviews

The interviews ended with Jacques, Crimson and Emma getting their tips from the Don Box.

"Catch a flight to Siberia." Jacques announced.

Don began a presentation montage, showing off the flag, a cold tundra, several arctic animals and a white yeti like creature walking along the ice bed.

"Siberia. This massive province of Russia is home to the Siberian tiger, Siberian husky and probably anything else prefaced with the word Siberian."

The ice cracked beneath the yeti's feet, plunging him into the water and turning him into an ice cube.

Don was shown now wearing a white coat as he stood outside an airport. "Teams will travel to this Russian airport to find this Don box to retrieve their next tip."

Emma called out, "Taxi!"

They got a cab and soon sped off as others got taxis as well.

"The Ice Dancers and the Goths are plotting our downfall. We need to ensure that they hate the Goths." Emma reasoned.

"The Goths can't be that mean…" Kitty tried to reason.

"Maybe they're not, but that doesn't matter to us. Or to me. You know how this goes; we take out the big threats, then the smaller ones. And then… we collect the winnings."

Meanwhile, the Cadets were getting their travel tip.

"Come on, we can't fall behind!" MacArthur told her partner.

Sanders was dragged forward and soon the Cadet's taxi was shown along the road, the cops discussing strategy.

"I say we go after the Ice Dancers first." MacArthur concluded. "They've been here way too long for my liking."

"You're not wrong. They're probably the biggest threat. Everyone else we can outrun." Sanders added.

"As long as we keep the lead, we've got this."

A voiceover was heard as the Twins were shown in a cab.

The moment is approaching… Mickey thought. As soon as you can, when Emma's out of earshot, you tell Kitty your feelings for her. You can't let this slip!

"Mickey?"

"Hmm?"

"Are you alright?" Jay asked.

"Yeah, I'm fine." Mickey insisted.

Even the driver raised an eyebrow at them.

Meanwhile, the Goths, Ice Dancers and Sisters rushed through the airport to get to the plane. Loki jumped ahead, leading his owners to be ahead of everyone else.

Emma told her sister, "Hurry! The next flight won't be for eight hours!"

"If the other teams miss it, they're toast for sure!" Josee cheered as they entered.

An overhead speaker box was shown as the pilot slowly spoke.

"Welcome UH… aboard… uh… everyone…"

The Goths were shown in their seats, with Loki on Ennui's lap as Josee was shown impatiently waiting with anger.

The Cadets and Twins were shown dashing through the airport, with the twins running behind.

"Run!" Jay told his brothers.

As they got tickets, the pilot continued, "We're going to be.. um… closing the uh…"

"Hurry!" Sanders exclaimed.

The camera showed the door, still open.

"Uh... cabin doors any... uh... second now for the taking off."

Kitty looked anxious as Emma glared at the speaker.

"Just close the doors already!" Josee shrieked.

The doors slammed shut.

She sighed in relief, only for the Cadets and Adversity Twins to run by her.

"Whew!" Sanders exclaimed.

"We made it!" Mickey cheered.

Josee screamed, shaking in her seat, much to Jacques' concern.

"All teams are now aboard the same flight, some happier than others." Don narrated.

Interview; Ice Dancers

The Ice Dancers were shown in their seats, with Jacques reading a magazine.

"Now we're all on the same flight!" Josee complained. "And it's all because of that pilot. Arrh!"

"Why just because he… uh… he… spoke uh… Ow!"

Josee punched him in the nose out of frustration, the camera zooming out to the plane as he groaned in pain.

End Interview

"I've been wondering…" Mickey began.

"About what?" Jay asked.

The younger one looked around, making sure no one could hear him as he asked his question. "Do you think Kitty likes me?"

"Well, there's only one way to find out. Tell her how you feel." Jay reasoned. "I know that's easier said than done."

"I've been thinking about that…"

Mickey looked at Kitty, then at the window ruefully. What was he going to say and how would he say it?

The teams raced out of the airport, dashing to the Don Box.

"Go go go go!" Emma ordered.

The screen showed a two by two grid of different teams getting and reading the tip.

"Ice yacht to the Kola super deep Borehole…" Emma began.

"In our swimsuits." Sanders added.

"Oh yay!" Jacques cheered. "I look magnifique in my swimsuit."

"What's an ice yacht?" Mickey asked.

Don narrated the challenge segment.

"Each team must take one of these ice yachts and sail due north while wearing swimsuits. That's how the Russians used to do winter sports to show how tough they were." Don flexed for the camera… "Ooh. Ahh."

…Right before crashing into a rock. "Ow!"

He was soon shown at the borehole entrance, now in winter clothes and with an ice pack for his head.

"Teams will find their next tip here, at the Kola Borehole, where there are oddly no soft drinks for sale. But this is where our racers will get their regular clothes back." He turned to the offscreen camera crew. "Can I get a cream soda?"

A montage began as teams started searching for taxis yet again.

"Taxi!" Jay called out.

Taxis were hailed and all the teams were riding towards their next challenge.

All the teams ran forward, arriving at the clothes changing area. Behind a changing stall, Mickey took off his hoodie, Ennui was shown putting a red shirt onto the wooden door, the wind blowing the sails of an ice yacht.

The montage ended as the Adversity Twins, with Mickey and Jay wearing respective sky blue and navy swim trunks, were the first to get an ice yacht and sail off.

Sanders impatiently stomped as she waited in her swimsuit. "MacArthur hurry up, I'm freezing!"

"Uh huh." MacArthur showed herself off. "Can't be cold when you look this hot!"

Sanders laughed. "Nice polka dots!"

"What?" MacArthur turned her head as the camera focused on her swimwear. "I thought those were bullet holes!"

"Let's have this not be another dune buggy challenge." Sanders complained. "I'm tired of being treated like your personal crash test dummy."

"Ha! You're adorable when you talk nonsense. Let's rock this!"

Suddenly Josee shoved MacArthur down, earning her scorn from Sanders.

"Sorry about that, it's a little slippery out here." Josee claimed.

Sanders folded her arms, both out of anger and to try and keep herself warm.

Interview; Ice Dancers

"The Cadets are riding our coattails too much." Josee explained. "I think a little push into last place will help."

"Oh I love it when you talk evil!" Jacques told her.

End Interview

The Cadets were shown in the snow, with MacArthur still on the cold, hard ground.

"Come on, get up!" Sanders ordered.

"My tongue is frozen to the can!" MacArthur informed her.

"Say what?"

"My tongue is frozen to the can!"

Meanwhile, the other teams went forward, with Jay accidentally catching on to the yeti. The older twin screamed as he tried to steer the yacht.

The Goths were a bit behind them. Ennui was shown wearing red swim trunks as Loki rested by his feet. Crimson was shown wearing a two piece red swimsuit, with the lower part having two small skulls near the edges. Both still had their boots and neckwear on, giving them a little bit of warmth in the tundra.

Soon the Yeti landed onto their sail, the two looking up and showing a little surprise.

Interview; Goths

"That yeti is no more of a monster than we are." Ennui declared.

Crimson and Loki nodded in agreement.

End Interview

The Yeti helped push the Goths forward, smiling and waving them goodbye.

"Thanks." Ennui remarked, showing a little happiness.

Back at the changing area, there were only two yachts left, with Josee unscrewing some bolts and screws from one of them.

"Josee, what are you doing?" Jacques asked.

Josee soon shushed him up. "Shh! Let's say the Cadets can't catch a break."

"Huh. I don't get it."

"I think it's you who has a screw loose." They went forward to the other yacht. "Come on, let's get another boat. Goodbye!"

The Ice Dancers left as MacArthur tried to pry her tongue loose from the trash can.

Sanders groaned, "I shouldn't be surprised. Really, I shouldn't."

As MacArthur attempted to get her tongue off the can, the other teams raced towards their next challenge. .

"The Twins have the lead, but they may not hold onto it for long." Don narrated.

The Sisters soon passed the twins.

"Kitty, what's wrong with you? You've been more and more distracted and concerned over someone who isn't even your own teammate."

"Is it wrong to show concern over a friend?" Kitty asked.

"He's not your friend. You should stay away from him."

Kitty winced as they went forward.

Interview; Kitty

Kitty was shown at the Kola Borehole, still in her swimsuit.

"I thought entering this race would help improve our relationship as sisters and help pay for my sister's law degree. But the more challenges we face, I'm beginning to wonder if she's only getting worse. And if she's just being selfish…"

End Interview

Back at the changing site, the Cadets were still stuck in a bad situation.

"We need to find water or something to get you free." Sanders reasoned.

"No time, we gotta move!" MacArthur screamed, pulling herself and the trash can up.

"Wow, now that is grit."

"Thanks."

Kitty soon pointed out, "There's the hole! Brake!"

Emma tried to pull back the brake but it wouldn't budge. "Help me! It's frozen!"

"We're gonna fall in!"

The brake eventually cooperated but the yacht was still moving.

The sisters screamed as ice blocks fell down the hole.

But the yacht stopped in time.

"Woohoo!" Kitty cheered. "First place and not frozen to death…" She shivered. "Not yet…"

The Sisters, now in their winter clothes, got the tip from the Don Box.

Kitty read, "Who's ready to go deep? Uh-oh…"

Don narrated the second part of the challenge. From the crash test dummy going to the bottom of the hole, to being pulled back up, to Don with a towel around him a steam bathhouse.

"After losing the race to the moon, Russia decided to try and win a race to the middle of the Earth...They stopped drilling at the seven mile mark when they realized… no one was even going to try. Today one person must harness their partner to the bottom and find a ball, before they get cranked all the way back up by their partner. Once they're back up, it's a foot race to the Chill Zone, located here at this Russian steam bath. Last team to arrive with ball in hand, may be eliminated.

An employee arrived with a bucket and a scrubbing brush. "I hope they all take their time, cause I've booked a rejuvenating caviar body scrub."

The scene showed the Goths and the Twins still gliding along the ice, standing neck and neck.

"You don't think we'll get frostbite from this, will we?" Mickey questioned.

"Probably not. But the sooner we finish this challenge, the better." Jay answered. "Is there any way to speed this up?"

The Ice Dancers soon passed them, much to the Twins' shock.

"Yes, second place!" Jacques cheered.

"And the Cadets will come in last and be eliminated. Ha!" Josee smirked. "They must be in a total panic right now."

Further back, the Cadets were lagging behind.

"The weight of this garbage can is slowing down." Sanders realized.

Sanders drew in some air, much to MacArthur's confusion. "What are you doing?"

Sanders spit towards the trash can, but with the wind, it landed on her cheek.

"Sorry, I'm a bad spitter." Sanders apologized. "Let me try again."

"Don't even think about it."

Kitty looked nervous as she was about to descend. "Seven miles down? Okay, will there still be air?"

"No idea. I want a job someday, so I'm studying law, not science." Emma reminded her.

Soon the Ice Dancers arrived at the scene, accompanied by fanfare and the gesture of waving and posing for their (not present) fans.

"Ugh, enough of that move already!" Kitty groaned.

"Yeah, we get it, you're ice dancers." Emma remarked, beginning to crank the lever.

"News flash, no one cares." Kitty told them as Emma lowered her into the hole.

Interview; Ice Dancers

"I'm going to make sure she never comes out of that hole." Josee declared.

"Good. I'm sure you'll have no problem going down there and rising back up."

Josee was suddenly terrified. "Wait, what?!"
