The Spy Racers help a village with a water well that's run dry. Meanwhile, Ms. Nowhere and Gary try to make contact from the middle of... nowhere.
Plot[]
Echo mentions she can not see anywhere they could resupply and asks if everyone is keeping to their water schedules. Cisco answers that everything is fine, but Frostee drops the water bottle when the dune buggy bumps a little. Echo asks Frostee if on his mapping system he had seen any signs of civilization, but mentions there is nothing except some sort of electrical interference.
Echo and Layla get into an argument due to their loss of supplies thanks to Layla. Tony tells them not to fight, but is yelled at instead. Since they were in the middle of nowhere, the group started losing their minds, with Cisco even hallucinating Tony was a frozen yogurt.
Gary was pedalling to power Ms. Nowhere’s microwave instead of the transmitter because they had to wait at least six hours until the nearest communication satellite passed over them.
Rafaela gave Cleve a guiding system he needed.
Rafaela and Matsuo approach Cleve, giving him a guiding system which he gave to a young boy who wanted to exponentially increase the cloud generator’s power. Cleve mentioned how that would make his village happy since it would get a lot of rain. Cleve told Rafaela and Matsuo that Ziri is like the son he had never had, having disowned his own five actual children. When Cleve mentioned Tony Toretto was after him, Rafaela was surprised and mentioned she would have her revenge on the group.
Soon, Echo saw a few buildings which made them stop. Echo talked to a man, who she told that they were racers who had gotten off course. She asked them for water, but the man told her that their well had dried up and ordered them to leave. Tony offered to help, but tripped over his dune buggy, which helped a boy recognize him as “car fail guy” due to their unsuccessful video. They asked him to repeat his fall, which he refused at first, but repeated it. Thanks to this, they were welcomed into the village.
The crew all had dinner at Wafir, where the locals told them their problems.
At the village, they met Ziri’s brother and the man who had greeted them at first told them that their hydro technology was not useful anymore with their well empty. The man had lived in Wafir for generations, and the Badouin had told them of a giant sandstorm, which Echo related to the sandstorm that had taken Ms. Nowhere and Gary down. Echo was upset they gave the village the last of their rations, but Cisco mentioned it was good karma.
Gary and Ms. Nowhere had to call a random number; the number they managed to call landed them a woman named Karen, asking her to send their agency an SOS. However, the satellite passed, and the call was cut.
Tony went down the well, helped by Frostee’s drone, and the group found a tunnel which Echo mentioned could lead them to Cleve. They followed the drone through the tunnel until it stopped and found a huge water facility, which was linked to Cleve. Echo and Tony got into an argument on how to proceed, but soon Tony saw he had not thought his plan through. They were caught, and so they decided to go with Tony’s plan which was blowing the facility up.
Sandocal was selling the group’s cars, which started shooting at the villagers. Rafaela walked up and told him he would buy them, and told him he would help them defeat Tony.
In the facility, Frostee was able to figure out how to blow the place up, and guide Cisco in to turning valves while Tony and Layla covered him. He turned the valve and was able to cause a flood. Tony and Layla were trapped, but Cisco was able to get to them through the ventilation system as the building began to flood and explode.
The group was able to destroy the facility and slow Cleve down.
Frostee told Echo that in order to really make the building explode, they had to enter a 10-digit code, but they had to leave on time. She trapped Frostee outside and repeated the code, diving underwater to the control panel, where she typed the code, and waited for the building to blow. She was blown outside thanks to the explosion. Frostee told the crew that he had received an email when he got wifi, telling them that a woman named Karen, from Wisconsin had sent him a gingersnap recipe, but also told him that Ms. Nowhere and Gary were alive. The crew had to run, however as they saw Rafaela and Matsuo racing towards them in their cars.
