11 teams raced to Innsbruck, Austria.
Quinton and Mattie got off to a rocky start.
We were looking for a location in Munich,

After touching down in Bologna, teams will begin a Mega Leg--
two Detours, two Roadblocks, two cities.
At the end of it all, another team will be eliminated.

Drive to Arco del Meloncello to find your next clue."

Famous for this anatomical theater.
This is where thousands of medical students boned up
on their human anatomy before becoming doctors.
After listening to this 16th century lecturer,
teams will travel to the courtyard to take a timed exam.
They must identify 16 bones, muscles
and organs in under 90 seconds.

The two most popular cheeses in Italy,
mozzarella and Parmigiano-Reggiano--
which is cut from massive cheese wheels like this

Teams will carry their cheese to a restaurant,
where they'll have their wheels sliced
by a professional cheese cutter.
Then they must deliver both halves to two restaurants
and bring their receipts back here for a clue.

Yeah.
DEREK: There's only one team here. Yes! Marcus!
♪
My brother.
-Ah! -[Marcus laughs]
DEREK: If you see Marcus, you can't be in last.
[laughs]
I think I'm just gonna gather my stuff.
DEREK: You got this, Claire.
So they're straight-up just assembling this car?
This motorcycle?
-I literally just called it a car. -[laughter]
Come on.
Come on, come on, come on. Let's get it done.
There we go.
I'm trying to see a full demonstration
of how to put on the wheels. I'm taking notes,
um, because I let down Derek at yodeling,
so don't want to repeat.
DEREK: Let's go!
BOTH: "Who's Ready for a Brake?"
Me.
I'll do it. Hold this.
MICHAEL: It's getting there.
I think I got the rear wheel on right.
Just putting in the front tire.
QUINTON: "If the lead mechanic approves,
you may proceed to installing the body panels."
MARCUS: Looking good, Michael. Looking good.
MICHELLE: Baby, you got this!
MATTIE: Come on, Q!
CLAIRE: Put this on.
-[grunts] -DEREK: Go, Claire.
Team Claire. Claire, Claire, Claire.
CLAIRE: This little doodad.
LUIS: Just try and watch closely in detail.
QUINTON: This is a big old puzzle.
Okay, Quinton, focus.
MICHAEL: I saw the mechanic put it in neutral...
...to spin the wheel.
And then I will get a check.
Here we go.
Sir?
♪
Yes.
So I can move on to installing the body panels.
Give this bad boy maybe a couple cranks.
That doesn't feel right.
I'm not really fully sure how to use this little wrench.
MICHELLE: Baby, you got this!
MICHELLE: Focus!
What's it stuck on?
I don't know what the hell I'm doing.
DOM: Excuse me. Do you know where the Teatro Anatomico is?
Uh, on the right. Uh, that's the door.
-Uh-huh. -Archiginnasio.
Grazie. Grazie.Thank you.
Right here. Right here. Come on.
Thank you.
Good job. Good job.
I was definitely surprised to see Lumumba and Glenda,
because they were in the first group,
and we left in the third group, but we were there together.
[quiet chatter]
LUMUMBA: Ilium, fibula.
-GLENDA: What? What? -I don't know where those go.
Fibula, fibula. [mutters]
-Intestine. Intestine. -Femur.
Cecum, cecum, cecum, cecum, cecum, cecum.
Femur is down that way.
-LUMUMBA: What is metatarsals? What are these? -I don't know.
Stop, please. Thank you.
-[buzzer sounds] -GLENDA: Gosh.
[sighs]
-[car sputtering] -Oh, ....
Third gear again.
I'm so frazzled right now, I can't even tell you.
-I'm, like, I'm near the tears. And here they come. -No, you got this.
She was getting super frustrated in the car,
and I still maybe don't know how to really be a sister.
You got this, Em.
So I just kind of let her
get her frustrations out.
I believe in you.
-WILL: There it is. -[Abby whoops]
Okay, I'll do it.
MARCUS: Michael, wrap it up, B.
We got other challenges to do.
Let's get out of here.
This doesn't really seem like it's right.
I used to have a moped growing up.
My neighbor pushed me off of it,
because he was mad he didn't get one for Christmas.
Shade.
Let's see.
Oh, that's loosening it.
I wish I knew how this thing worked.
Am I doing it wrong? Probably.
[groans]
Righty tighty, lefty loosey.
-ABBY: We got it. -All right.
-ABBY: You're gonna do great. -WILL: Looks like fun.
He's meticulous.
[Michael groans]
It's just not lining up.
There we go.
It being a motorcycle, Michael's mechanically inclined.
I thought it shouldn't be too, uh, difficult of a task.
Give it the once-over. It's all detail now.
See, it's coming loose.
Oh, this is so hard.
MATTIE: You got this, Q!
QUINTON: I don't understand.
The back tire won't rotate.
What's happening?
The back wheel has to spin freely, but it's not spinning.
All three samples have spinning wheels.
I don't know how to...
I'm pretty handy around the house,
but I don't ride bikes.
And I'm not here to mess with a Ducati.
Yeah.
Turns out, you have to, uh, press the clutch
to put it in neutral, to make it spin.
MICHELLE: Baby, focus! You got this!
I'm good. I'm good.
ABBY: Oh, my gosh. Three teams just ran in.
-Let's do it. -Let's do it.
All right, let's do it.
WILL: Did you get it to spin?
-Did you get the back tire spinning? -No.
WILL: There weren't that many parts,
but they kind of went together in specific ways,
and everybody seemed to be having a difficult time.
I got to get something done.
I would go look at the tutorial,
and then I would go look at the finished piece.
Then I would come back, and by the time I came back,
-I was like, "What did I just go look at?" -[chuckles]
-I have done almost nothing, so... [laughs] -Okay.
-DEREK: Oh, they're all coming. -MOLLY: Emily!
[whoops]
MICHAEL: A lot of other teams are here,
but we're still, like, in the lead.
So...
MARCUS: Okay, eight of the ten teams are here.
So, who's not here?
Humerus.
-Mandible. -Cecum.
Coccyx. Deltoid.
-Do you know tibia? -LUMUMBA: So, what? Ilium.
-That's the, that's the, uh... -No, no, the ilium...
The u-u-ulna.
DOM: Is it more than what it is?
-[buzzer sounds] -Stop. Stop.
RICH: We may not use every piece.
Sorry, you have to go to your lesson again.
-GLENDA: Okay. -[buzzer sounds]
We bombed...
-Ooh. -[laughs]
...at Head of the Class.
-[laughs] -We were not the head.
-What's this bone? -MAN: Stop.
-LUMUMBA: We got to stop. -Dang it.
I mean, we were like, "What did we get ourselves into?"
-[laughs] -"And how do we get out of this thing?"
-"Emir." He kept saying "emir." -That's not on there.
You know, so we sat in front of that professor.
Mind you, his native language is Italian.
-Yeah. -And so we had some issues with even
-understanding the words that he was using. -Yeah.
Humerus.
Where's the "emir"?
PROFESSOR: Humerus.
He kept saying "emir."
PROFESSOR: Humerus. The humerus is the longest bone in the arm.
It was the humerus.
It started with a "E," but it's not...
Stop.
He just said "emir."
MAN: Okay. Repeat. Go.
-DOM: Brachialis. -LUMUMBA: Tibia or fibula.
DOM: This is the heart?
LUMUMBA: Um, we're gonna roll with it.
Okay, let's make it neat in case we got it right.
-And stop. -Damn. It may be that one.
That's it. It's that one.
♪
-MAN: Please... -Oh, God, thank you.
...give this to the other couple. Thank you.
GLENDA: Oh, thank you, Jesus.
-And that's yours. -Okay.
[cheering]
-LUMUMBA: Good job, you guys. -Good job.
I felt great, but I knew that we were so far behind.
"The Ducati Factory to find your next clue." Okay.
-All right, let's go. -Okay.
MARCUS: Mike, try to knock it out.
So this is the last thing, and then I will get a check.
[sighs]
DEREK: I know you got this, Claire.
-Come on. -CLAIRE: There's just something obvious that I'm missing.
-[groans] -MATTIE: You got this, Q!
QUINTON: Is there a brake on? Am I being dumb?
This isn't rocket science.
It's motorcycle science.
LUIS: Sir, wheel check.
MICHELLE: You got this, babe!
♪
Yes, baby!
WILL: My back wheel doesn't spin, and I cannot for the life of me
figure out how to make it spin.
You can't tell me. [laughs]
DAVID: I do mechanical work for a living.
I grew up on Fast & Furious, so it's a bit easier for me
to figure out certain things.
So, David is a helicopter mechanic,
and, in his free time, he's building a car.
He's working on my car, so this is completely up his alley.
I think we have a really good chance of passing people.
DAVID: Where's my Snap-on ratchets, baby?
Need to make all my friends back home proud.
Played around with cars but not bikes.
SHARIK: You got it, Pa. It's all you.
MOLLY: I love you, Em. You got this.
EMILY: I got in there, I saw the demo,
and I knew exactly what I had to do.
I have a pretty strong attention to detail.
Really hyper-focused. I do build things.
I'm a single mom,
so all the toys that we bought, I was building.
I build Legos with her all the time,
the IKEA furniture in the house.
So it was definitely a good fit for me.
It sounded like those other guys couldn't figure out
how to get their wheel to spin, but I did it.
So I'm one ahead of them.
Sweet.
Sir?
Can I get a check?
No.
-No. -No? Crap.
I got everything in.
It's just not fully aligned.
And it's just frustrating.
[groans]
-DEREK: You got this, Claire. -Okay. Okay. Okay.
Can I get a check on my wheels and brakes?
-Too loose? -DEREK: You got this.
-MAN: No. -No. Okay. Too loose.
Needs to be a little tighter.
DEREK: Come on.
I'm not sure really how to make them tighter.
DEREK: I can't even watch anymore.
CLAIRE: I'm doing something wrong.
It doesn't feel good that it's clicking.
DEREK: This is so brutal.
CLAIRE: Should be going the other way.
Can you, like, reverse the way this goes?
I'm going the wrong way.
CLAIRE [groans]: I don't know what to do.
DEREK: Come on, Claire.
I'm trying to figure out how this tool works.
I don't know.
DEREK: You got this.
Come on. You got this.
CLAIRE: Oh, my God.
I have been loosening these instead of tightening them.
[sighs]
Okay. Thank God.
I would have been there all day.
Oh, who knew?
I feel like, with these Roadblocks,
I always have one thing that's trouble.
It's tightening now.
It was like yodeling all over again.
[grunts]
That's it. Nice and tight.
Can I get a wheel check?
Oh.
-MAN: Okay. -[claps]
-CLAIRE: Awesome. Thank you. -Good job.
DEREK: Move on to the next one. You got this, Claire.
MATTIE: It's okay, Q. Figure it out.
QUINTON: Ah, got it. Okay. It's spinning.
Can I get a wheel check?
WILL: You got it spinning?
What the heck?
MATTIE: Come on. Quick, quick, quick.
Good.
MATTIE: Yes! Let's go. Let's go. Come on.
WILL: That was it. That was so frustrating.
-Check. -MAN: Good.
-Yes. Thank you. -ABBY: Yes.
Ooh. Nice little click.
-AUBREY: Let's go, David. -Dream challenge.
AUBREY: Let's go, baby!
Wheels, nuts, ret-retaining nuts.
To hold on to the wheel.
And then going from there, I'm, like, 90% done.
You got it, babe.
SHARIK: You're killing it, Pa.
There's a hole right here that this is supposed to be in.
That's it, that's it, that's it.
That's the brake.
I want to do this one time correctly.
There it is. Okay.
During the Roadblock, I was kind of concerned
because I felt like everyone else was struggling,
and I thought it was kind of easy,
so I felt like maybe I did something wrong.
All right.
Check.
MICHELLE: Look at your sister.
I'm really glad she's doing this now.
All right. I got it, Mol.
MOLLY: What? Oh, my God.
-[clapping] -Yes. Confidence.
Got one final screw, and then I'm gonna get a check.
And hopefully we'll be out of here.
That took way too long.
Kind of disappointed in myself. Check.
MARCUS: Give him the clue.
Give him a clue.
MICHAEL: [whoops] Dope.
That was very time-consuming and tedious.
Grazie.
I didn't do a good job, but we're done. Moving on.
"The Mega Leg continues.
"Drive to the city of Florence and find Villa Bardini
for your next Roadblock clue."
All right, let's go get it.
SHARIK: It's kind of crazy not to see the newlyweds.
-Anything can happen. -There's still two teams that aren't here.
We don't know where anyone is.
We don't know what their struggles are.
-This is a Mega Leg, too, so... -Mm-hmm.
...let's not exhale yet.
[exhales]
LUMUMBA: We left with Rich and Dom.
I-I feel like we're kind of neck and neck
trying to get to the, uh, Ducati Factory.
So we're coming in from the back,
even though we started in front.
AUBREY: You got it, David. Yes, baby.
SHARIK: You got it, Pa.
You got the wheels done?
-Yeah. -Oh, my God. You did that fast.
EMILY: Putting the body together, there were a lot of details
in the order of the steps that he was going in.
Which side did he put on first?
One side had to go on before the other side.
So they meet together kind of like a puzzle.
There you go.
And that's probably where people struggled.
-What the hell? -Stupid screw. Oh, my gosh.
-MOLLY: Feel good? -EMILY: Almost there.
I don't know how many teams have gotten out of here so far.
-MOLLY: Only one. -EMILY: Only one?
MOLLY: Two teams aren't here still.
"Who's Ready for a Brake?"
-Lumumba. Let's go. -[laughs]
-He wanted a break from me. -I...
[laughs]
RICH: There's team orange.
He said that really fast. "Me. I want a break."
You got this, baby.
-LUMUMBA: Come on. This way, baby. -[Glenda whoops]
-"Who's Ready for a Brake?" -You.
-RICH: That's me. -EMILY: All right.
-Can I get a check? -DEREK: What?
MOLLY: I think a number one reason we're here
is to get to know one another a little bit more
and catch up on the 36 years that we lost.
Okay.
-EMILY: Okay? -Okay.
[whoops] Yes!
And I was blown away.
Oh, my God!
I had no idea that she'd be able to do that.
We're still learning our weaknesses and strengths,
and you... wow.
[chuckles]
[both laughing]
Oh, my... [whoops]
Okay, okay.
-LUMUMBA: We made it. -Confidence boost.
-LUMUMBA: Lord Jesus. -EMILY: Florence. Okay.
-DOM: Good job, girls. -EMILY: Thank you.
MOLLY: You killed that. I can't believe you came in second place.
RICH: Finally we got to the Roadblock,
and I was shocked that we ran into so many other teams.
SHARIK: You got it, Pa.
AUBREY: David, you got this, babe. Just tranquilo.
DEREK: You got this, Claire. Tranquilo.
CLAIRE: It's not flush.
I don't really know what to do about this.
It was clear to us that it was not an easy task for everyone.
I just don't want to be last.
So, feels good to have people with us.
So I'm hoping to get it soon,
but this is driving me a little crazy.
RICH: I'm gonna get this done.
-I can figure this out. -Come on, Richie.
LUMUMBA: I do not work on my car at home.
I know nothing about motorcycles,
but I know how to follow directions.
We made it in here, so I'm just happy to see people.
We didn't know how far teams were ahead
or how far we were apart, but as soon as we got started,
one by one, they started to leave.
Okay.
-Yes! Let's go, babe! -DAVID: Let's go!
-Let's go. -AUBREY: Let's go, David!
You know, people were finishing.
Good job.
-Thank you. -[cheers]
And finishing and finishing and finishing.
-All right. -SHARIK: Oh, thank God.
-Thank you. -[Sharik whoops]
LUMUMBA: And we just had to focus on our game
and watch them as they left.
-You good, Dad? You killed it. -Yeah. Thank you.
CLAIRE: We got here second.
And again, we're leaving late.
[Derek sighs]
She is not getting this. Oh.
GLENDA: The partners that were not doing the challenge
that were left were so, like, frustrated
because it took their partners so long.
QUINTON: There's four left.
I mean, if I get this, I'm gonna cry.
And I never want to see another motorcycle again.
-Ever. -ABBY: You got it, Will.
-Hurry, hurry, hurry. -[Will grunts]
I just dropped it.
GLENDA: You got this, babe.
All right. I'm gonna put this brake in.
Slow and steady.
Slow and steady?
[sighs]
Now I'm putting on the, the second brake on the front wheel.
DOM: This is your jam, boo. Kill it, kill it.
It was definitely a Roadblock that was catered
towards technicality and attention to detail.
That is so Rich.
Yeah, baby.
I like when you twist things on.
[Derek groans]
Sorry, Derek. You look concerned.
[sighs]
Don't know what the issue is here.
Claire has a couple screws loose.
I guess, I... I definitely had screws loose today.
He makes that look so easy.
DEREK: This is killing me.
Just impossible to even watch.
Even this Ducati guy's like, "Come on, man."
Can I get a check?
-[Derek groans] -DOM: Trust in her.
DEREK: Man.
DOM: Don't worry. Just have confidence.
Be supportive. And not just outwardly, but in your heart.
-Okay? -DEREK: I just can't. I'm so drained.
DOM: Support her in your heart, and I'm serious.
Please... [muttering]
Yes!
Oh, my God!
CLAIRE: The Roadblock was really, really painful.
And not fun at all.
-Yeah, uh, not fun for either of us. -Yeah.
-LUMUMBA: Check. -DEREK: Let's just leave this forsaken place.
GLENDA: Come on, babe.
-Check. -Check. -ABBY: We got it.
Let's do it.

MATTIE: Let's go, I know, I know. I know that was hard.
-Come on. -Grazie.
DOM: You got it, boo.
You got it.
Let's skedaddle.
Come on, Richie.
GLENDA: All right, babe. Come on.
