Summary: In the RV, Dave opens up to Marybeth about his ex-girlfriend who cheated on him. While it was a painful experience, he's stronger for it and happy to be "officially single." He provides us with the kind of deep philosophy that we expect from him: "Happiness is wherever you are." Dave admits that Marybeth wins for "Girl He'd Most Like toIn the RV, Dave opens up to Marybeth about his ex-girlfriend who cheated on him. While it was a painful experience, he's stronger for it and happy to be "officially single." He provides us with the kind of deep philosophy that we expect from him: "Happiness is wherever you are." Dave admits that Marybeth wins for "Girl He'd Most Like to Hook-Up with on the Trip," but doesn't want to pursue anything with her yet for fear of that awful, ugly thing called rejection.

Whoops and yells are heard throughout the RV as the Roadies learn they will be traveling to New Zealand for their next mission. Donell is so happy he's doing gymnastics outside the RV. He says his weight has never been a factor in his life. Then he stands on a wooden beam and it breaks. That's a little foreshadowing, folks.

They receive their clue which tells them that they are going to be on top of the world. Arriving at the Federal Building (the tallest building in the southern hemisphere) in Auckland, New Zealand, they are told that as a warm up, they must jog up the stairs to the roof where they meet a mayor who tells them their mission is to race 984 feet up the Sky Tower by climbing 1,297 steps and a 145 foot vertical ladder. The Roadies are worried because Donell was huffing and puffing after 5 floors during their stairmaster warm-up. This is the first time the team feels panicked about finishing a mission. They have 75 minutes to reach the top and descend to the bottom.

Start to finish, Abe is a very positive force during this entire mission. Before the race, Ace is encouraging Donell to stretch and is trying to motivate him to get psyched for the mission. Not long after they start the mission, Donell begins to lag behind. His teammates do whatever they can to help him and they reach the top of the stairs with 49 minutes remaining. Looking at the ladder, Donell doubts he can make it up all 155 rungs. He struggles to finish and to his surprise, he completes it. Abe is at the top with congratulatory words and Donell is very appreciative.

With 24 minutes left, the mission mayors inform the Roadies that they have two choices: climb down the ladder/stairs or fly down. Figuring that jumping will get them down in time to win the mission, they opt for the express. Before Donell's about leap off the tower, he is informed that they've never had anyone his size participate in this kind of a jump. Nervous that something will snap and he'll end up as a baby blue pancake on the ground below, Donell sucks it up and jumps anyway. He starts to enjoy the fall about halfway down and lets out a big yelp. He's nothing but smiles when makes his touchdown.

Dave is the last to reach the ground with 20 seconds to spare. Donell grabs the tattoo and everyone congratulates him for a job well done. Abe and Donell even engage in some manly hugging and Donell says he is thankful that Abe was there for him for this mission.

We end the episode where we started, Dave and Marybeth flirting, this time in a club where there's dancing and alcohol. Nothing worth gossiping about happens, but Dave says he's got some wild oats to sew and he'd like Marybeth to be one of those oats. Wink, wink.
