Combustion is the fourth episode of Season 2 of Fast & Furious: Spy Racers, and the twelfth episode of the show overall. It was released on Netflix on October 9, 2020.
Synopsis
After Frostee discovers that the secret formula is explosive, Tony and Echo go into overdrive to find a tanker full of it before it blows up Rio.
Plot
Tony and Echo move carefully through the city until they reach the warehouse, where Tony assures they are safe. Echo has her doubts because Dom had been caught in the warehouse, but Tony told her that was what Dom wanted at the time. Still confident in Layla, he mentioned he needed to find out how to talk to her without blowing her cover.
However, the rest of the gang believe she is not on their side. Echo tells Tony she placed a tracker on Layla, so they decide to go together. Echo drives on a motorcycle she found and they go to her. In the meantime, Frostee notices a San Rafaela picture in Beto's house, which shows she was a champion driver. However, they mention that at last year's race, her car was blown up, and they lost San Rafaela.
Tony approaches Layla, and sees she is joined by a man, who inhales a green gas. Layla leaves after that, and both Tony and Echo follow her. Frostee declares himself a "capoeira kid", and does not join a fight which arose, due to fighting neighborhoods.
Ms. Nowhere was angry the teenagers had ruined many of her plans.
Ms. Nowhere gathers the teenagers at the safehouse, where she tells them she is angry because they ruined her mission, their mission, and her date with the prince. Ms. Nowhere asks Tony how he knows Layla has not changed sides, but he is unable to say. Ms. Nowhere then declares herself in charge of the operation. She sent Frostee to learn what the formula does, Echo to investigate the supply chain, Cisco to learn more from Beto, and told Tony she did not need anyone to drive to a stupid situation, and told him to accompany Gary.
Echo drove to a field, where she saw one cut flower, and informed the team there probably used to be more flowers, but now they were all cut up. Cisco asked Beto about the orange flower, which turned out to be called the Devil's Pepper, which is the Moreno family's symbol. Many said it was the source of their power.
After watching Gary for a long time, Tony soon grew tired. Gary told him he sometimes distracted himself by imagining conversations he saw through the cameras, which sparked Tony's interest. Echo found Layla, and found out they were making big shipments with the formula.
Frostee watched his formula start to oxidize, which indicated an incoming explosion.
Frostee saw his solution was reacting due to something all around the air: it was oxidizing, which meant when the formula reacted with oxygen for long enough, it would explode. On the cameras, they saw a big truck, which Frostee estimated would explode in fifteen minutes, possibly killing Layla. Since it would take 30 minutes for backup to arrive at the location, Tony figured he could handle warning Layla, as it involved driving fast to a stupid situation.
After Tony left, Frostee revealed he had made more chemicals which would explode in ten minutes and destroy the warehouse. However, when Gary asked, Frostee realized he could probably stabilize the solutions by adding banana, which Donut had.
After a high speed chase, Tony was able to climb onto Layla's truck with Echo's help and went to warn Layla. In the safehouse, after chasing Donut, Frostee, Cisco, and Gary were unable to grab Donut's banana smoothie, until the monkey inhaled the formula. After he did, Frostee asked for the smoothie, which he gave to Frostee without complaining. Frostee was able to stabilize the formulas, and wondered if he was now a monkey whisperer.
After a high-speed chase, Tony and Echo were finally able to get through to Layla.
Echo and Tony were able to take over Layla, who was not listening to reason. Echo took care of the formula by driving the truck into the seashore, where it exploded. Layla woke up unaware of what had happened, and where they were. She said she last remembered going undercover, and realized they did something to her: mind-controlled her with a formula.
When Tony told Layla to go with them, she refused, telling him it would be best for her to go back, as she would be able to truly go in undercover now, as the Brazilians still believed she was drugged.
Somwhere else, Ms. Nowhere met with an old friend: Agent Medina.
