The teams take part in a brief tea-tasting session before being told they’re going to India. Mallory is overwhelmed by the number of people once they get there, whilst the cowboys instruct their taxi to drive recklessly. Their destination, Kolkata Town Hall, doesn't open until the morning, but that doesn't stop Big Easy pranking Mallory by making her run down the street.
The challenge is to find the tea that they tasted back in China from a table containing hundreds of cups. Ron does it first by smelling it, and Jet is next, using the same method. The next clue is under the cap of the bottle, but Kisha/Jen miss this and think they have to find where the beverage is made. Kent and Mallory complete the task next and frustration starts to set in for the remaining racers, especially Luke.
The detour offers teams the choice between painting an elephant statue and taking books to a school. Kent/Vyxsin get there first and decide to paint as it reminds them of how they get ready in the morning, whereas Gary/Mallory, Jet/Cord and Zev/Justin choose the (much easier) book task.
Flight Time finally gets the right tea meaning Luke is left on his own. He starts crying and has a major meltdown, but his mom convinces him not to quit. When Luke finally completes the task , everyone celebrates.
Ron/Christina finish the painting, despite Ron being frustrated that he can't disco to the music whilst he paints. They end up in a traffic jam along with Zev/Justin and Kisha/Jen. The last two teams are both painting now, and Flight Time stupidly kicks a bucket of paint over his elephant, meaning they have to re-do it. Margie/Luke sense they have a way back in the race.
Jet/Cord, Ron/Christina and Zev/Justin all get to the mat around the same time, with the goths not far behind either. The teams all celebrate with drinks. The Globetrotters complete their painting and Flight Time hugs Luke on the way out in a touching moment, because he knows how hard the tea task was for him.
With Kisha/Jen coming in 7th, there's only one safe spot left. The Globetrotters beat Margie/Luke to survive the leg. When Luke finds out they've been eliminated, he cries - telling his mom he's sorry.
