Amanda and Chris are also looking. They find the 4:00 AM tickets, too, but she calls it "a sucky time," so she wants to go look for a better one. They take off.
Millie and Chuck show up, and she urges him to read the clue quickly, because Amanda and Chris are waiting for them. At least I think that's what she means by, "Go faster, Chuck, they're waiting," although I suppose she could also mean, "Propose to me; my family is getting antsy." Al and Jon look for their tickets, too. When ClownJon finds the 4:00 AM tickets, he pulls one of them right away, so they've also landed on the middle bus unnecessarily.
Millie and Chuck's proven patience pays off as they find the 2:00 AM tickets hiding in a very small space between a couple of pieces of wall. Boy, that's tough to spot. They grab the clue and decide to go get Amanda and Chris and share the wealth. Millie voices over that Chris and Amanda are "fun to hang around with." I love that the virgin and the girl with the "Devil" shirt are friends. Heh. The four of them bop back over to the 2:00 AM tickets so Chris and Amanda can fetch theirs. Note that although Chris and Amanda benefited from the friendship here, they also benefited from not grabbing the 4:00 AM ticket, so they do deserve some credit. As Chris shows the 2:00 AM ticket to the camera, Amanda grins and does a little bouncy dance. Aw, I love a little bouncy dance.
Josh and DadSteve, and then Dave and AirSteve, show up and start looking for tickets.
Back at the Milan airport, the KLM flight is finally landing. Everybody runs through the airport, but as Debra runs up the jetway, she completely racks herself and lands facedown on the ground. As she lies sprawled on the floor, Tian and Jaree run by her without, it appears, so much as a cursory "You okay?" -- which really wouldn't have slowed their asses down all that much, so it would have been nice to see. "I'm okay," she says, picking herself up. As she catches up with IndianaSteve and they start through the airport, she mutters, "I'd like to say I was tripped, but I wasn't." Heh.
David and Jeff grab train tickets into the city from the airport. Train tickets? Good grief. What's more, they snag their alliance pals into this wrongheaded notion. In an interview, David reminds us that they have an alliance, and Reichen voices over that he's not sure that David and Jeff will like them anymore once they know they're gay. I have a feeling that nobody on this entire trip is quite as preoccupied with Chip and Reichen's sexuality as Reichen is. For God's sake, they've had gay people on every edition of the race so far, so it's not like the other racers are likely to be unprepared.
