Czech it Out

The Globetrotters walk into the theater. Meghan calls up to Cheyne, "Another team's here. Just cover as many as you can." He's only on box ten, though, and he's holding a couple of regular-sized guitars just in case that turns out to be what he's looking for. Flight Time sits down next to Meghan as Big Easy begins searching the main floor. "You found a needle in a haystack, I know you can find that," Flight Time says to his partner. Meghan smiles at that. So at least these two aren't fighting.

Sam and Dan ask a cab driver about their clue, and he tells them about the theater. Where it gets hinky is that this is the only cab driver there. Which means it's Brian and Ericka's cab driver. Dan offers to up his fare if he takes them instead. "No," Sam says. Brian, seeing what's going on from way up on the platform, calls to Ericka, "Let this be some motivation: the brothers are trying to steal our taxi right now!" Dan tries to talk Sam into making the move, while the Americas holler helplessly from above for the cabdriver to wait. "You're just gonna let them go in front of us?" Dan argues to Sam, who is clearly wavering. Ericka, unsurprisingly: "Aw, hell no." That'll learn her to call Dan "Pookie."

But after the ads, it's all for naught, because Brian and Ericka's driver tells Sam and Dan, "All right, guys, let's go." Brian watches them drive off, spreading his arms helplessly. Sam and Dan seem to feel pretty bad about it. Although Sam interviews that it was a smart move, the Amazing Editors cut out whatever "but" he was going to add after it. Brian and Ericka are now totally motivated. "I'm going for the jugular," Ericka interviews. But first she has to get off that rope. And figure out how to "go for the jugular" in a competition that consists entirely of going fast. And when the primary decision-maker of her team is determined to play nice.

Cheyne and Big Easy continue their searches. "Big Easy, you look like you're about five-two way up there," Flight Time calls up. Cheyne is searching behind the lobby bar and talking to himself, aggressively ignoring the way Meghan is repeatedly calling his name. Which is totally annoying Big Easy. The calling, I mean, not the ignoring. That part is only annoying Meghan and me.

Finally Ericka finishes the Detour, and they high-five. Now it's just a question of finding a cab, which Brian wonders about while they're still up there. "I don't see us working with them much more," Brian understates of the brothers. Ericka flatly says, "We're not working with anybody, ever, anymore. It's over."
