Synopsis
After arriving in Brazil, the crew gets their ride stuck in quicksand. But Tony's determined to get them out of trouble without Ms. Nowhere's help.
Plot
On the plane arriving in Brazil, Ms. Nowhere tries getting the teenagers' attention, but Cisco Renaldo is distracted by Echo's brooch, believing it to be a spider. Frostee puts on an invisibility cloak, and surprises the group. Ms. Nowhere reminds them their mission is to make sure if Layla is alright, but is interrupted when Tony electrocutes Frostee.
She told everyone they had new identities they had to learn and gave Tony a new car. They need to contact the favelas, infiltrate the gang in Brazil, and find Layla, while finding out what the formula does. She wishes them luck on their mission, as she will now go to her own.
Soon after, Tony was asked by Brazilian police if he had guns, to which Tony responded by flashing his arm muscles. The police mistakenly believed they were in a gang, so the teenagers started to flee in their truck. Tony and Echo got into their cars, and joined the pursuit, using their smokescreen tires to blind the police, allowing Cisco to hide the truck in the woods. Echo made the road slippery causing the officers to lose control, while Tony was forced to brake and turn when met with a blockade of police cars, which he and Echo took care of by making the groups of police officers chasing them crash into one another.
Echo suggested the group go back to the highway before they go too deep into the woods, but Tony refuses, mentioning the highway was probably full of cops, and they were taking a shortcut to Rio. However, the jungle soon caused him to lose control, and all of them ended up in quicksand, unable to move their cars. Tony fell in, and kept moving, which only resulted in him sinking faster, but Cisco was able to pull him out while following Echo's instructions. When Echo suggested calling Ms. Nowhere, however, Tony was not on-board with the idea, as they had only landed a couple of hours before. Tony tried pulling the truck out using Cisco's vehicle, but failed.
While Cisco, and Frostee went to get snacks at the truck, a monkey stole their food, but Tony tried maintaining his optimism while surrounded by flies attracted to a plant he had rubbed over his clothes. Cisco and Frostee believed they were lost in the jungle, and tried calling for help, until they were found by Echo, who showed them they were actually close to the place they were stuck at. She helped them find the monkey, and left them to get the food. After they climbed up the tree, they were shocked by the monkey and both fell from the tree.
Ms. Nowhere jumped from a cable and took down two men in order to retrieve a hard drive, which she did with ease.
After the monkey consumed the chemical residue from the formula, Cisco and Frostee went up to the tree, only to find the monkey obeyed their command when they asked him to approach them. Echo went back to the quicksand, only to find Tony hanging upside down, and her car in the sand. After making him apologize, she cut him down. The group saw helicopters flying over them - Brazilian police had found them. In order to leave quickly, Echo told Cisco to grab some logs, with which they made a sort of rail they put under the cars' tires to get enough traction to get out of the quicksand. This proved successful, and Tony mentioned they did not need Ms. Nowhere, as they had a "Little Nowhere" with them, which Echo did not like at all. When Cisco asked how she knew that much about wilderness, Echo revealed she had been a girl scout.
With the police approaching, the teenagers soon realized they would have to leave the hauler. However, it was too late, and they were stopped by the police. Cisco's monkey, Donut, jumped into action and distracted the police, allowing them to escape and reach Rio.
