Kris hurries Amanda along, Mel and Mike start to dance on their mosaic, and Kisha and Jen get their rocks correctly into place. Kent dismisses the "children," since they don't seem to be helping, and he and Vyxsin dance around their mosaic some more. Still wrong. What's more, Mel and Mike are already getting their clue. The Goths get another no, and Kent wonders if they're supposed to "do it on top of the sculpture." Well, what does the clue tell you to do, genius? Kisha and Jen get their next clue. "We need to stay on track because all those teams are fighting like dogs," Mike says as he drives his dad back to town. Yes, and it's a bitch to recap. The Goths finally dance on their sculpture and get their clue in fourth place, three slots behind where they would have been if Kent hadn't been stupid. Jen and Kisha are right behind them in fifth place. Kris is quietly freaking out at seeing another team leave, but Amanda tells him to calm down. Kent and Vyxsin discuss that unfortunate team's plight as they drive off.
Ron is getting snippy with Christina, telling her to tell him what she needs so she can be the master artist or whatever. Jaime and Cara do their dance to the satisfaction of the guide. Meanwhile, Ron is yammering away to Christina, but she says in subtitled Mandarin, "Use Chinese, please, everyone's going to understand." He replies, "Okay, okay. Let me pick up my hat." Hate for anyone to overhear that secret message.
Zev and Justin are back in town, and the first guy they flag down on the street sends them right to the Central Football Club, two blocks to the right. "Looks like we might be doing a sporting thing," Zev says optimistically. I have to think his theory is wrong, because it makes sense.
Back at the Detour, several teams are dancing around their mosaics, because apparently nobody's bothering to look at what anyone else is doing. Suddenly Jet yells at Cord to get on it and dance. "I'm a dancing son of a buck, man, "Cord says mildly. The Globetrotters do the same. Soon Jet and Cord are sprinting back to their car, officially in 7th place. Gary and Mallory are off in 8th, pausing only to answer Amanda's question that yes, they danced on top of their mosaic. The Globetrotters get their clue in 9th, leaving just two teams still at the Detour. Ron and Christina's mosaic isn't up to snuff, but Amanda and Kris's is, so the latter team is off to the other Detour option. "We're in last, "Christina says while the other team runs off. "Damn, you got this all screwed up," Ron points out as he looks at the mosaic, but then correct that to, "I messed this up, I think." Either way, they're the last team at the mosaic.
