Summary: Picking up where the last episode ended, the Roadies are preparing for the big race. Skip explains the Raramuri's ideals and mysticism to the group, who are "knocked out" by their "intangible" value system. They learn that they are going to be running against the oldest members of the tribe, but these people get stronger as they get older!Picking up where the last episode ended, the Roadies are preparing for the big race. Skip explains the Raramuri's ideals and mysticism to the group, who are "knocked out" by their "intangible" value system. They learn that they are going to be running against the oldest members of the tribe, but these people get stronger as they get older! They learn that they will earn the respect of the Raramuri by doing their best and that losing the ball will disqualify them. But, as they practice kicking it, they realize they're in serious trouble! "Holly runs 10 miles every day, so she's pretty good to go," Brian says, but the rest are nervous about the distance. Sarah is "pumped, I'm ready to do as many as we can as a group. I wanna make everybody proud of the Gringos!" Holly, Brian and Sarah run Lap 1 without a hitch, however, Gladys says "they're blowing us away" and Holly notes "there's no way we're gonna beat them at their own race!" For Lap 2, Holly is joined by Gladys and Joshua, who says "The landscape we're running here is absolutely incredible, but at the same time, it's not very conducive for kicking a little wooden ball around in." And with that, they lose their ball in the rocks!
After searching diligently, Joshua finds their ball and they finish the lap. Holly keeps going with Abe and Brian for Lap 3, and does Lap 4 with Gladys and Joshua. Even though they have finished the 4 laps they need to win their prize and are exhausted, they decide to finish the race as a group. Joshua sums it beautifully: "It's very cool that we all are doing the last lap together. I think we've realized this from Day 1, that we're a group and we're only as strong as our weakest link. If we can keep that kind of group devotion together, then this is gonna be a very fun and easygoing trip!" Having exceeded the expectations of everyone and earning the respect of the Raramuri, they are given Taramari balls, because "it takes balls to run the Taramari!" Later, Al gives the gang the key to their room at Copper Canyon Lodge and invites them to Margarita Hour. Gladys gets hammered and predicts that Holly and Abe will end up "humping," but Holly has zero interest in younger men and tells Abe "there will be no humping this trip"! Abe is persistent though, and vows "the harder the chase, the funner the catch"!
