Danny is the next to reach the supervisors at the storage space, and they express their disapproval for his packing job. "I wish I spoke Spanish right now but I don't," he says, clearing that right up. Referring back to the clue, he finds the operative phrase "pack correctly," and starts unloading it all again. Marie comes rolling into the alley, and then so does Nicky, who spills the entire contents of her cart on the ground. "Oh, buddy," Marie says to Nicky in a passable imitation of sympathy. Danny notices that Nicky doesn't have her mat with her, unlike himself and Marie, and remarks, "I really think the rug was part of it." Well, of course it was. Ashley is rolling past the end of the alley where Danny is repacking, and he advises her to go around. As Ashley rolls away to come at the alley from the other direction, Marie snaps at Danny, "Hey, P.S., why did you just tell blonde girl?" Danny's like, what? And Marie says, "Don't tell her that this is the entrance." Too late now. Also, boss your own partner, Marie, not other people's. In the meantime, Ashley has reached the supervisors, who give her the clue and cause her to celebrate so loudly that the others can hear her one block over. She goes running past them wishing them luck, and Danny gives it another shot. He gets his clue this time and then takes time to help Marie and Nicky get rolling again before running back to join Tim. P.S.: Marie doesn't seem to mind his helping people this time, now that she's one of them. Rowan is still rolling along with his random cart and his random shoe shiner, figuring it's a good sign that "the Okie went by me." He needs his good signs where he can get them, because he's gotten nothing but bad ones since he opened the Roadbloack clue.
Meanwhile, Marie is encouraging Nicky on the final roll to the garage, and Ashley comes running back to her partner yelling. "Ally Ally Ally!" The blondes are in sixth place when they meet up again, and Danny and Tim are right behind them, but the Okies get a cab first and thus steal sixth place.
Of the three racers who have yet to complete the Roadblock, Nicky is worried about not having her rug, Marie is waiting with her while the supervisors check their packing jobs and Rowan rolls up with the wrong stand. Nicky reads from the supervisors' gestures that she needs to go back to the beginning and retrieve her mat. And when Marie sees Rowan coming up with an out-of-network stand and a shoeshine guy, she's like, "That's your--? Okay." Because she realized two seconds into her remark that the value of letting somebody continue screw himself for an extra minute or two supersedes even this opportunity to berate someone. The poor shoeshine guy is saying that Rowan brought him here, and Marie notices, "His chairs and everything look a lot different." The shoeshine guy realizes his time is being wasted -- rather belatedly, if you ask me -- and he starts to roll his cart back up the alley so he can get back to work already. But Rowan moves to block him, begging him to stay. Marie just starts yelling at them both, "No, no, no, no! No! No! No!" I'm not sure what she thinks she's accomplishing there; obviously she's not trying to help, but she also isn't going to prevent anything that was ever going to happen without her intervention, so all she's doing is looking like a dick. Yes, we know, she doesn't care.
