On the last leg of the Amazing Race, the 17 remaining teams traveled to Boston where they were required to dump fake tea off a ship then push each other in baby carriages. The bakers won by cheating; but the video game addicts became the second team eliminated.

***

"Welcome back to Boston City Hall." Toner says. "Today, the teams are gonna have an epic race to today's checkpoint. Hans & Claudia won yesterday, so they go first." Hans steps up, presses the clue box button, and heads off. Claudia reads the clue to her partner.

"Route Info: Head back to Boston Harbor where 16 Amazing Race jet skis rest in the water. All 16 teams head north up the coastline to Kennebunk, Maine. Your next clue is with your jet ski." She reads.

"Alright, let's do this!" Hans says. You heard her right, the teams will head up the coast until they hit the town of Kennebunk. By jet ski, that's about a 90 minute to 2 hour ride. The checkpoint rug is along the beach. Last team to get there is out of the race for good.

More and more teams grab their clue and run off to the harbor. Angie & Jennifer and Cody & Dave run side by side right behind the bakers.

"You want them out too?" Cody asks, pointing to the black felines ahead of them.

"Absolutely." Angie says.

"Why do you two want them out all of a sudden?" Jennifer asks.

"Claudia sabotaged us in the last challenge. She caused us to be bumped down to fifth place." Cody says.

"Someone's gotta take her out." Angie says.

"Listen, Hans," Claudia says, "I want the movie experts out of here. They're too good. You heard them yesterday, they're getting better by the day."

"True." Hans says. "But promise me that you're not gonna do what you did yesterday with the jocks."

"Are you kidding me? If we hadn't done that, we would've lost!"

"Promise me, Claudia!"

"Fine. I promise!" She grumbles. The bakers make it to the harbor first and hop on the first jet ski they get their paws on. Hans drives off. Slowly, the others get into their jet skis and drive off in the water.

"Brent, read the clue!" Syd says. The envelope was taped to the handle. Syd was driving while Brent hung on. He grabs the clue, opens it and reads it out loud.

"Detour: halfway up the coast, you'll see a buoy with the detour sign on it. If you go left, you'll have to go through an obstacle course involving maneuvering around other buoys and grabbing three different flags. If you choose right, you'll be taking the long way around and end up straight at Kennebunk Beach." Brent reads. "What do you want to do?"

"Not sure." June says. Her and Mabel took a different ski, but they're side by side. It's obvious their alliance is official.

"Either way, we've got to do one or the other." Syd says.

"Let's do the flag challenge." Mabel says. "That way if one of us capture extra flags, we'll still be good."

"Awesome way of thinking, Mabel." Brent says.

"Thanks."

"Why do you want an alliance with us?" Sara asks.

"I just think that maybe we could make an awesome team." Cassie says. Matthew & Sara and Cassie & Shawn are just in the middle of the teams so around 8th or 9th.

"You don't have a real reason, do you?" Matthew says.

"No. We just don't really see ourselves connecting with anyone else." Cassie says.

"Yep. We mostly keep to ourselves a lot." Shawn says. "But we've been thinking that maybe if we open up a little bit, it wouldn't be so hard talking to others." Sara thinks about it for a quick minute.

"Ok. But on one condition." She finally says.

"What?" Shawn asks.

"If it ever comes down to the two of us as the bottom two left and one of us is gonna be eliminated, the alliance is over."

"Deal." The albinos said together.

"You leave the flags to me." Claudia says. "I've been good at capture the flag since I was a kid."

"You think it'll be enough?" Hans asks. "I mean, we're driving 60 mph in water!"

"We'll be fine."

"Not for long!!" Cody tells from right behind them.

"Oh shit! We've got company!" Claudia says.

"You've got more than that!" Angie yells from the other side of her. This is terrible, Claudia thought, my worst enemies on either side of me. The two teams slowly catch up to the bakers. Claudia needed to act quick.

She reaches her paw into the water. She feels something big hit her paws and she grips tight. Claudia brings her paw back to the surface to find an oversized fish in her paws. Although she was hungry, she had a better idea. With a grin on her face, she twists her arm to the side of her body, says, "Hope you like flounder!!!" And hurls it towards the sorority sisters. It hits Jennifer squarely in the muzzle and knocks her off the jet ski.

"Jenny!" Angie says as she circles back.

"Ha! Eat my dust!" Claudia says. She turns back to the jocks. "Now for you two!"

"You do anything, I swear I'll ruin you!" Cody says.

"No promises!" Claudia dips her paw into the water and, with enough force, splashes a ton of water at the jocks. Cody buries his eyes in his paws.

"Oww!!!!! My eyes!!!! It burns!!!" He exclaims.

"Woah!!" Dave says, gripping the steering bars after they started to swerve.

"Sayonara, suckers!" Claudia grips back onto Hans.

"Claudia, what're you doing?" Hans asks. "Why are you doing this?"

"Listen, what I've been doing is the reason we're in first place. And it's the reason we're still in first place. So calm down and let's do this thing!"

Soon, teams notice the buoy with the detour sign on it and have to choose left or right. Some choose left (Hans & Claudia, Cody & Dave, Brent & Syd, June & Mabel, and Jack & Maria), others decide to go right (Angie & Jennifer, Tommy & Regina, Richie & Vlad, Ashley & Jo, and Helga & Gretel).

"I can see the flags." Claudia says. She leans out and holds out a paw. Hans drives by a flag and she catches it in her paw. "Here comes another!" She reaches out and repeats the same routine. Again, same result: she caught it.

"Sweet! Only one more!" Hans says. "Let's get that one!" He points as he drives the jet ski towards another flag. Claudia catches that one without any difficulty.

"Now let's get to that finish line!" She exclaims, holding onto her partner once again.

"I'll get them." Dave says. He leans out just so he won't slip and fall off the ski. He manages to catch two flags before hearing some of the others right behind him.

"Let's do this!" Brent says. He stands up on the ski, reaches an arm out and gets three flags in hand in just 10 seconds. Mabel has a tough time getting her third flag. She can't move on until she has three. Brent reaches out again and gets a fourth flag. "Graduates! Catch!" Aiming for her paw, Brent throws his extra flag towards his teammates and June manages to catch it.

"Thanks, Brent!" June says.

"You're welcome! What're teammates for?!"

"What place are we in?" Richie asks.

"Not sure." Tommy says. The songwriters and restaurant workers are still jet skiing side by side. Since they chose to go right, they're going the long way, but should end up right on Kennebunk beach.

"Maybe 7th?" Regina guesses.

"Maybe so." Vlad says. "All I know is that we can't get last now! Our alliance just got solid!"

"True dat!" Tommy reaches out and fist bumps Vlad.

"You guys act like the brothers I never had!" Regina says.

"You know what I'm gonna do the next time I see the bakers?" Angie asks her partner.

"What?" Jen says, afraid of her answer.

"I'm gonna rip one of their tails off and use it as a decorative thing!"

"I want them out too, but revenge is the last thing we need to do, especially since we're in the middle of a race right now!!"

"I know. I'd do anything to eliminate them."

"Hey, Ashley! You know where we stand?" Jo asks.

"No. I know the wrestlers are right behind us, that's for sure!" Ashley responds.

"Yep! You got that right!" Helga says. Her and Gretel speed up to slowly pass the sisters.

"Yes! There's the beach!" Claudia says, pointing at the sand that they pass. They have to keep going until they find the checkpoint rug. Suddenly, something slams into the bakers and Claudia unknowingly drops one of her flags. She turns to see who it it and sees the sorority sisters. "You again?!?"

"Yep." Angie says. "You better hope you can run fast, because you're about to be turned into cat soup!" Claudia hangs on to her partner, who's trying to focus on driving. Cody & Dave come up next to them, taking Claudia by surprise. Cody's eyes feel much better and can see better.

"C'mon! I can see the checkpoint and Toner!" Hans says.

Toner stands right next to the rug, ready to announced the teams' placements. The bakers, jocks, and sorority sisters turn off their jet skis and run to the checkpoint which is only about 50 feet away. "Hans & Claudia, you came in first." Toner says.

"Oh yeah! Two in a row!" Claudia says.

"Except..."

"Huh?" Hans says.

"Except you guys are getting a ten minute penalty."

"Why!?!?!" Claudia yells.

"You were supposed to bring me three flags. Not two."

"You lost one of our flags?!" Hans yells.

"It wasn't my fault, it was theirs!" She points at the next to teams.

"Cody & Dave, first place; Angie & Jennifer, second." Toner says. The four of them high-five and fist bump each other. The bakers get nervous about getting last place.

***

Matthew & Sara, Cassie & Shawn, and Avery & Timothy chose to go right; Seven & Stuart, Rob & Robbie, and Jon & Devon decided to go left. Seven leans out to catch her three flags, her blood was racing like crazy as she got them. "Now this is a challenge worth doing!" She exclaimed.

"You're telling me, this is awesome!" Robbie yells as the brothers pass the junkies. Stuart sees the three flags in Rob's paw and panics.

"You got this baby?" Jon asks.

"I always do!" Devon says. He reaches out and next thing he knows, there's three flags in his paw. He closes his fist tight and hangs on to Jon.

"How long are you guys gonna keep following us?" Matthew asks.

"I thought we were in an alliance." Cassie says.

"We are, but that doesn't mean you need to cling onto us every second you got!" Sara shouts.

"We just wanted to make friends." Shawn says. "That's one of the reasons we came to this race in the first place. We were outcasts back home, so we came here to prove we weren't."

"You never mentioned that." Matthew says, suddenly sounding sympathetic. "Alright, we're still a team, but don't be so clingy too much, ok?"

"Ok." Cassie says. Shawn reaches out and shakes paws with Sara. Cassie and Matthew couldn't, but with a nod of their heads, it was just as good.

Avery & Timothy passed the newly formed alliance and they knew they had to speed up at any cost.

Jack holds him and Maria's three flags. The movie experts don't know where they stand but they know they're not in last. "You do you want to do with the money once we win?" Jack asks.

"Not sure." Maria says. "Maybe we could buy our own theater and screen movies."

"Really? I was hoping to direct our own movies one day and use they money for equipment and actors and stuff." Jack says.

"The possibilities are endless." Maria says.

"Look, I see Toner and the checkpoint!" Jack points ahead of them.

"You're right." They drive up on shore, stop the jet ski and run to the rug.

"Jack & Maria, you've earned third place." Toner says.

"Sweet! High five my friend!" Maria says. Jack smacks paws with his friend and they walk off. Toner looks at his watch. The bakers still have two more minutes. Another two team makes it to the rug, however, at the same time.

"Humans and early graduates, you tied for fourth place." Toner says.

"Awesome!" Brent says. Toner's watch beeps and the bakers quickly hop on the rug.

"Hans & Claudia, sixth place."

Richie & Vlad- 7th

Tommy & Regina- 8th

Rob & Robbie- 9th

Seven & Stuart- 10th

Jon & Devon- 11th

Helga & Gretel- 12th

"Ashley & Jo, thirteenth place." Toner says.

"We did ok." Ashley says.

"We did good enough and that's all I care about." Jo says, hopping onto her sister's shoulders.

The last three teams are the Transexuals, best friends, and albinos. Avery & Timothy pass the other teams. Just in time too, the checkpoint comes into view.

"There's the rug!" Avery exclaims.

"I know, I see it." Timothy says. They stop their ski and run up to Toner.

"Transexuals..." Toner starts out. Avery hopes they didn't arrive too late. "... you guys are in 14th." Avery let out a breath she was holding. She and Timothy hug and then walk off.

"Hey guys! There's the checkpoint!" Shawn says, stopping his ski and then him and Cassie run for it. Matthew stops his and him and Sara make a run for it too. Although the best friends caught up, one team came before the other.

"Cassie & Shawn, 15th place." Toner says.

"Wait, 15th? But that means..." Cassie starts out. She looks at the best friends, who are not on the rug.

"Yep." Toner confirms. "Matthew & Sara, you came in 16th and have been eliminated from the race."

"Aw man!" Sara says, randomly kicking some sand.

"Let's go Sara. We lost." Matthew put an arm around his partner and the walk off in the other direction.

"We're sorry guys!!" Shawn calls out. "Had we known we would've stopped!!" Matthew gives them the finger from behind him.

"I had fun." Matthew says.

"Me too." Sara says. "But it would've been more fun if we had won the game."

"I know. We're not always gonna win stuff, though."

"I'm aware of this. Now c'mon, let's get home and I'll make some of that blueberry pie you like so much."

"Ok."
