Other Rachel and Dave get to the observation deck at about the same time as Brendon and Rachel, but neither team can seem to find the clue. Other Rachel and Dave get sent one floor down by a guide as Dave bitches about how they're killing themselves. Lighten up, Francis -- everyone takes a minute to find the clue once in a while. And Brendon and Rachel can't seem to find the clue at all. Admittedly, the view is pretty distracting.
On the sidelines, Ralph asks Vanessa how many times she's going to try running the treadmill on her bad ankle: "Till it breaks?" "Guess so," she sobs. Since she's determined to keep at it, Ralph tells her to do it like she's never run before. Better and more applicable advice might be to tell her to run like she'll never run again. She hops onto the treadmill and makes it to the mat, but somehow falls back onto the track and back into the balloons, so it's no good. The host reminds her, "You must jump on it!" Finally she makes it. Ralph talks about how proud he is of her and then back in their cab, she carefully reapplies an eyelash while their driver studies the street map. "Priorities," Ralph remarks. Might as well make use of the time, though, right? It's not like she could be putting anything cold on her ankle right now anyway.
Brendon spots Other Rachel and Dave on the next level down and that team opts for Photo Cut-Out. When Brendon and Rachel get there, they go for Bingo Shout-Out. Back on the street while getting back in their cab, something falls out of Dave's bag and rolls away, so he yells at Other Rachel for his bag being open while she tries to direct the cabbie. When the driver doesn't know where they're going and they decide to abandon this cab, Dave simultaneously starts to lecture Other Rachel about unzipping his bag. She screams in his face that she never unzipped it. "Freak. Classy," he says while following her to the corner and as they're waiting for the next cab, she talks about how sick of him she is. As usual, Dave's only response to her quite valid point is to try to shut her down. "Just stop. Silence is golden," he says dickishly. "Then why don't you shut the fuck up!" Other Rachel retorts. "God!" That's a good plan. Is this one of the things they resolved during their talk last night?
Brendon and Rachel are just leaving the skyscraper as Vanessa and Ralph arrive and wonder how the latter team caught up after they left Vanessa for dead. Other Rachel gets herself and Dave into a cab, where there is a lot of very tense gold filling the back seat, if you know what I mean. Brendon and Rachel agree that they need to run fast, now that Team Penultimate is on their tail. At the top of the building, Vanessa opts for the sushi task, but not necessarily for strategic reasons. "Oh, God, let's eat something. I'm so excited about this," she says. Apparently she's so hungry that her ankle's working again.
