The top two teams leave for Toshiba lodge which slows them down slightly because it didn’t open yet rob/Brennan lose time as well due to a frozen battery in their flash light not that it matters. The next clue is a detour of motorbikes or dog sleds to a clue all teams including joe and bill (eventually) choose the dog sleds the next clue sends them to ice lake rob/breenan lead as they dive into frozen water for the roadblock the next clue sends them to their final city New York frank and margaritas home town. Which annoys rob/breenan they use a phone to book seats on a flight getting in at 6am via Seattle which frank/margarita book at anchorage airport note the flights land at Newark not jfk airport. The teams sit near each other on the plane it comes down to a taxi race to queens while joe/bill finally head to Toshiba lodge. The last clue sends them to flushing meadow park the finish line with rob/Brennan somehow in the lead over a way to overconfident frank/margarita and rob/breanan win by about a train service difference with frank and margarita second joe and bill are last seen doing the dog sled.
