Summary[]
Ms. Nowhere is rewarded with a party at headquarters when a worldwide chase leads to a big capture. But the celebration may be short-lived.
Plot[]
As a thunderstorm rages over the skies of London, Ms. Nowhere talks to Tony Toretto's Crew as they prepare to go and arrest Rafaela, who is aboard a nearby private jet. They successfully get inside and look for her, but come up empty handed. Rafaela surprises them by being outside the airplane as she activates her parachute. Back inside, Frostee directs everyone’s attention to the bomb that Rafaela left behind on the plane as a trap. The gang all successfully manage to get out before the plane explodes. Tony finds Rafaela still falling down to the ground with her parachute, and the two engage in an aerial fight. Eventually Tony lands on top of Big Ben, and from there Rafaela ends up pushing him down, and he falls onto the nearby river.
Off the waters of Fiji, Rafaela once again evades capture on a jet ski. She eventually circles back and throws bombs at Tony and the rest of his crew. Which in turn forces Mrs. Nowhere to have the team fall back and retreat.
In the sewers of Paris, Mrs. Nowhere tells the team over the comms to stay on high alert. Rafaela surprises the team when she becomes visible again after having tripped Tony over, who fell into some sewage water.
Later, the gang is on a high speed chase and hot on Rafaela’s trail. Cisco asks Frostee if they are in Switzerland, Iceland or Greenland. But Frostee doesn’t know for sure, and just says they are on some kind of land. Eventually, Rafaela launches a bomb on some nearby boulders that fall onto the road. Fortunately, Cisco’s car is able to plow through them with ease. Just when they think they have her cornered, Rafaela drives her car off a cliff, gets out of it and successfully jumps into a waiting helicopter for another escape.
In Shanghai, Tony tells Rafaela that they picked up her scent when she crossed the equator, and jokes that she probably should cut back on the perfume. Still invisible, Rafaela responds that perhaps she enjoys this game of cat and mouse she has playing with Tony and the rest of his friends. He eventually tells the wanted criminal that the building they are in is surrounded by agents. Rafaela cackles as she jumps out the building and tells Tony she will see him later; leaving him fighting a bunch of assassins he hired. Eventually Cisco, Echo and Layla come to his aid and tell Tony to go and stop Rafaela once and for all. Rafaela and Tony engage in another one on one hand fight, but eventually, Rafaela is successfully apprehended.
As Mrs. Nowhere and Gary watch Rafaela being taken back to prison inside the back of a police car, a drone drops a letter with a message for Mrs. Nowhere. According to the letter, Rafaela was Mrs. Nowhere’s hundredth high-profile arrest. As a result, she is getting an official agency-sanctioned employee gathering in her honor.
Back in Los Angeles, Tuco surprises Cisco with a visit, as he explains he is in town for the night and thought he’d swing by the old neighborhood. Eventually, Layla realizes Tuco knows that she and the rest of Tony Toretto's Crew are spies, but everyone else is seemingly okay with it. Frostee even explains that Cisco tells his uncle everything, and Echo follows that by saying how it's better than having Cisco post about what they do as spies online. Tony finishes by saying that Tuco is family, and that they can trust him.
At Mrs. Nowhere’s party, Tuco and Cisco marvel at a self-destructing marshmallow, while Gary and Mrs. Nowhere pose for pictures together. Gary is excited and tells his boss he might hang some of them in his cubicle, but they too end up self-destructing. Later, it’s limbo time, only instead of a stick, it’s a laser that cuts off a head and cauterizes the wound in one go. Afterwards, Mrs. Nowhere yells out they will try their hand at the cloaked pinata. Eventually a drone drops a letter that’s from the head of the agency. While Mrs. Nowhere and the rest of her team of his spies gather for some video tributes in her honor, Tuco admits to Gary he needs to use the restroom. Gary tells Tuco he can take him there, and the two men leave.
The video is unexpectedly cut short, and the nearby drones are electrocuted and fall to the ground. The gang eventually looks up and see some unknown assailants staring down at them. Some lasers go up that traps them on the roof of the building, and three mysterious assailants leave. Mrs. Nowhere yells at Tony and his crew to run and get off the building. They try to leave through the door, but an explosion forces them back. Thanks to Frostee’s help, they are able to leave the building safe and sound. Sissy offers her help, explaining that she has been hacking and tracking for years, and it's how she has kept tabs on her older brother.
They chase after the mysterious assailants but they manage to escape. The cops arrive shortly after, but much to their surprise, they aren’t there to help them out. Instead, they are there to arrest Mrs. Nowhere and the rest of her team of spies.
Later, Gary comes in to interrogate them, and he asks them why they blew up headquarters. Mrs. Nowhere yells out that they didn’t do anything, but Gary shows them video footage that proves they are guilty of what they are being accused of.
Tony explains that isn’t them on the video, and that they were on the roof. But Gary in turn states that there were no witnesses to prove it, all the drones were disabled and the traffic cameras had their footage erased. Thus, the only evidence left is the footage of the Mrs. Nowhere and the rest of the gang seemingly laying the groundwork to blow up headquarters.
After processing all the information, Tony realizes that they have been framed.
