Plot[]
Echo tells the group to review the mission to capture Cleve, but nobody was paying attention, so she orders the plane to be tilted, which scares Tony, Layla, and Frostee. Cisco walks in as well, eating their rations which angers Echo. Tony, however, tells her that they understood the instructions the repeated times she had told them. He reminded her everybody wanted Ms. Nowhere and Gary back, but Echo tells him that that was not the mission since the agency did not do rescue ops. She tells them they’re going to Nihaya, which Layla refers to as “The Dead End.” The crew suits up and jump from the plane.
Cisco is happy with their new outfits, which Echo tells him also serves to protect them. Echo tells them they need to find their contact, who would lead them to the safehouse, also instructing them not to do anything.
The group walked through The Dead End while they looked for their contact.
Tony, Frostee, and Cisco walk until Tony catches some man’s eye, which Cisco brushes off since they were also looking at him. Tony tells them that the man is their contact, but when Frostee asks if they should find Echo, Cisco tells him not to so he could practice his acting skills. When they reach the man, they begin asking suspicious asking him if he has anything for them. However, when the man brings them their falafels, they simply begin looking for a key, which angers the man, who tells them to leave.
They reach Echo, who tells them she found their contact, who had a chess board with the pieces arranged the way she and Julius had left them. She plays chess with the man, who asks her where she trained. She says, “nowhere,” and beats the man, who takes them to the safehouse. Echo tells them the next day they would go to the Sahara and look for Cleve.
Tony comforted Echo when she feared they might die in the Sahara.
Later, Tony asks Echo if she is okay, to which she replies that they would be going to one of the most hostile environments in the world, in which many different scenarios could lead them to death. Tony tries comforting her, but she tells him that Ms. Nowhere, the best agent in the world could not handle it. In the end, Tony tells her that even though things will inevitably go wrong, they had her back.
The next day, everybody gets supplies, and Layla is approached by two men, who tell her Sandocal would be happy to see her. She is chased through the city, but manages to escape, and tell her friends. When they open the train, however, they are shocked to see the train is empty thanks to Layla’s old friends. When Tony asks Sandocal what he did with their cars, the man laughs and tells him that those cars are his now since Layla had a debt to pay.
Echo tells him he can’t take the cars, but Sandocal laughs. Layla, in order to fix the problem tells him that she and Tony could compete in his next race which was a dune buggy in order to get their cars back. Sandocal tells her they can race, but he would not give them their cars back. However, if they won, he would give her her friends back, which he now held hostage.
At the Southwood Defense Complex in Nevada, Rafaela and Matsuo greet a soldier and manage to get in.
Tony and the rest of the crew were handcuffed to the back of a car by Sandocal.
Tony, and the rest of the crew were handcuffed in the back of Sandocal’s car, which angered Echo. Tony told Layla and the leader not to fight since they had been through worse. They make it to the dune buggy, where the man from the falafel stand was at. Layla told Echo she would speak to her after they got out of the situation they were in. Sandocal sends Layla and Tony to the race.
Matsuo tells Rafaela everybody would know where they were after breaking the door, but Rafaela brushed it off, since men always ran after her. Matsuo mentioned he hated working with her, but proceeded and set off the alarm.
At the race, Tony and Layla are ready as the audience cheers. The race begins with Tony and Layla defending each other whilst getting rid of the other cars.
Meanwhile, Matsuo and Rafaela walk into a vault where Rafaela finds a glove that boosts her strength, which she likes. Matsuo finds a Yamashiro No Daijyo Kunitsugu Wakizashi, which he finds cool. They are surrounded by the military, but in the end manage to escape with help of their new-found tools.
Still racing, Layla and Tony make it up over a hill, and Tony starts celebrating their victory when they took out their other opponents. However, Layla tells him they were never going to win the race, and they had to leave.
The group managed to escape Sandocal thanks to Layla and Echo.
Sandocal is angry that they did not finish the race, and it is revealed that when Layla told Echo they would need to talk, she had given her a key to escape. Sandocal finds out he has no leverage and looks as the crew escapes on dune buggies in order to get to their mission.
