The teams set off in snowy conditions, and Gary/Mallory manage to get a cab. This perplexes Kent/Vyxsin, who were in a good mood until then. They're taken by helicopter to an undisclosed location where they must either search for a body in the snow, or pull one out from a crevasse.
Kisha/Jen and the Globetrotters get theirs done first doing the rappel detour. Kent/Vyxsin hit a slight setback due to Vyxsin's poor handling of the ropes. Zev/Justin do the digging task, but find it tough. Gary/Mallory get theirs out in two pieces. Soon everyone else makes it to the train car, giving them a 25 minute lead over Zev/Justin.
The next challenge is to make a chocolate gnome. Jen, Flight Time, Mallory and Vyxsin all do it. But when Flight Time can't find his gnome in the oven, he suspects Vyxsin took it. Unperturbed, he decides to carry on with a different gnome anyway, although this does lead to Big Easy slinging insults at the goths and talking about karma. The Globetrotters have now gained the full ire of Kent, who would love to see them eliminated, but that seems unlikely now - Flight Time finishes his gnome first and the athletes get going.
Jen, Mallory and Vyxen are not far behind Flight Time, leaving Zev all alone in the cold. Kent/Vyxsin fail to notice their clue says to go "on foot" to the pit stop, and end up taking a taxi. Vyxsin senses something is wrong, but Kent shuts her down.
Flight Time/Big Easy get to the pit stop first, where they are attacked by a large dog, and Kisha/Jen are second. Kent/Vyxsin then check in and get the bad news that they'll be waiting out a 30 minute penalty. Kent can only watch and berate Vyxsin as they are overtaken by Gary/Mallory and Zev/Justin to exit the race.
So did karma strike after all? Possibly, but despite the highly negative portrayal of their relationship, Vyxsin assures us that they always work it out in the end. Okay then.
