On the last leg of the Amazing Race, the teams traveled to the Bahamas for a little pirate history. They got to search in a replica ship for gold coins. However, when it came to the second bag, they got a visit from an underwater creature. An unpleasant visit (avoid urchins kids!). The frat bros came in first and for the third time, Barbara & Eddy came in last and we're officially cut. Only four teams remain. Can they survive the next destination? Find out right here on... the Amazing Race.

"Welcome back to Nassau." Toner says. "Yesterday's winners are the first ones up." Mitch steps up to the clue box, Jasper on his shoulder, still quivering over his encounter with the urchin.

"Route Info: get to New Orleans, fast." Mitch reads. Teams will travel via cruise ship to New Orleans, a city known for its nightlife, music, and how close everyone is; especially during Mardi Gras. Once they arrive, they will experience a challenge that they've never seen before.

"C'mon dude. Let's get out of here!" Jasper says. The other three teams get the clue and they get on Toner's private yacht. New Orleans is just a hop, skip, and a jump west... plus 55 hours.

"I can't believe we're in the final 4!" Jasper says. "I didn't expect coming this far."

"Me neither." Mitch says. "Now that we have, we need to go for the win, man. Especially now that the Oasis has lost one of their members."

"Yep. We're still struggling a bit but we're definitely improving. Kit & Kitty are pretty good players."

"I don't disagree with you there." Mitch picks up a glass of wine. "They're pretty much badasses in this race. What do you think will happen once we make it to the final two?"

"Now sure." The door to their room opens and Jasper goes to open it. The twins stand there, excited expressions on. "Hi guys!"

"What's up?" Kit asks.

"We were just having a morning drink before we dock in New Orleans."

"Can we come in?" Kitty asks. Jasper let's them in and they sit on the bed. "So, me and my sister have been talking. It would totally be awesome if we end up in the final two. We were also thinking that if one of us won, we should split the money four ways."

"That's fine with me." Jasper says. "There's just two problems."

"We know," Kit says, "the Policefurs and Olympians." Meanwhile, Diesel & DeeDee get dressed and ready for another day of being stuck on that boat. They hear a knock on the door.

"Come in!" DeeDee yells. The door opens and Tammy enters. "What the hell do you want?"

"I wanted to speak with you." Tammy comes in and sits next to Diesel. "I just walked by the frat bros' cabin; they're teaming up with the twins. You know what that means? It means me and you are going to be quick targets if we don't step up our games."

"And why would you come to us?" Diesel asks.

"Because! As I recall, the twins dumped you a while back. Wouldn't you want revenge against them?" Tammy wraps an arm around DeeDee's shoulders. "Team up with me, and not only will I assure that you'll be in the final three, but also the twins won't be." DeeDee contemplates this for a moment. Teaming up with the enemy might be the stupidest thing she could ever do. Then again, she's already paws-deep in blood.

"Diesel." She says. When he looks up, DeeDee says the words she might regret later: "Looks like the Evil Oasis is back on."

After docking in New Orleans, the teams quickly get off the yacht and run to the clue box at the harbor. "One-Way: let's make your mark." Kit reads. In this One-Way challenge, each team will take one can of spray paint and go all over the city to three different locations. Once they do, they will find canvases at each place. They have to spray paint any logo on it, taking turns doing so. Once they do, they must find the checkpoint. Last team there, could be like the Louisiana Purchase: history.

"C'mon!" DeeDee says. The Policefurs get blue spray paint, twins get pink, frat bros get green, and Olympians get red. They quickly get in cabs and start racing around the city.

"So what do we have to do?" Jasper asks.

"It says to go to three locations: US Department of Agriculture Library, Edward Hynes Charter School, and the New Orleans Museum of Art. It also says we have to take turns spraying the logo." Kit says as she drives.

"I've never been much of an artist." Kitty says. "Do we have to do anything complicated?"

"No. It just says any logo. I'll spray first, nothing too bad."

"So, what are you guys planning on doing? Just so we know to not do the same thing." Mitch says.

"I'll do a star," Kit says, "you guys just... do whatever."

"Dude! We should totally do our fraternity symbol!" Jasper says.

"I said simple, guys."

"Ok. Smiley face it is." Kit pulls up in front of the first location: The Library. Outside are four white canvases; each held up by its own stand. Kit and Jasper hop out and open their cans. Kit sprays a pink star on one canvas and Jasper gets a green smiley face on a second one.

"C'mon! We still got two more!" Kit says as they run back. She quickly steps on the gas, eager to maintain their lead. As they do, they pass another cab. "There goes Diesel & DeeDee."

"Call me crazy, but was Tammy & Rachel in the backseat of that cab?" Kitty asks. She could've sworn she saw the Olympians and Policefurs... sharing a cab.

"Oh no! They formed some kind of secret pact to split us up!" Jasper says.

"You mean... the Evil Oasis?" Kit asks. "Because that was already a thing.

"Oh." Jasper pins his ears back and gets prepared for what's next. Meanwhile, Tammy & Rachel and Diesel & DeeDee head for the library.

"We're still in last place." Tammy says. "You ever hear of this thing called the accelerator?! It works fine if you ask me!"

"Don't tell me what to do!" DeeDee shouts. "I'm well aware we're in last now shut the fuck up before I throw you out the window and turn you into roadkill!"

"Bring it on bitch!"

"I can see why we're called the Evil Oasis." Diesel says to Rachel. "As for you two, both of you shut up! I'm getting sick of hearing all this bickering; it's all I've heard this whole race! Can you two just get along for two second until we catch up?"

"Yeah. I second that." Rachel says. "I know you two hate each other, but can we start hating the twins and party bros more? Because they're beating us?" Tammy sighs, knowing too well that she's right.

"I guess you're right." Tammy says. "We have been fighting forever."

"I'm not falling for it, this is just another trick until they sabotage us." DeeDee says, sounding firm and not budging. She looks over and sees Diesel crossing his arms and giving her the "not cool" head shake. She grumbles and says, "Fine. Whatever. Let's just get today over with." She pulls up outside the library. Diesel and Rachel quickly spring into action. They jump out, run up to the canvases and they spray their logos. Diesel's is a blue lightning bolt while Rachel's is a red circle with a slash.

"Go! Hurry!" Rachel says. DeeDee quickly drives off to the next location: a college. Kit sees the canvases on campus, all of them blank. They're still in first place. As she slows down, Kitty and Mitch get ready to jump out and do their thing.

"Now!" Mitch says. Him and Kitty quickly get out and spray their logos. "Magnifico!"

"C'mon big guy, it ain't over yet!" Kitty giggles as the two get back. They hurry up and drive to the last location. The Oasis gets there a full minute after the others do.

"Hurry! We're still in last!" Tammy says.

"Don't you dare rush me!" DeeDee says. They quickly get out and spray their logos. As they get back, Tammy starts thinking. If the only have one more location and it's over, she'll need to make sure that she doesn't come in last, even if it means stabbing DeeDee in the back... which she was fine with.

"Ok. Now where's our last location?" DeeDee asks. Diesel looks at the clue again.

"A museum. An art museum." He says.

"Makes sense. This is probably where these cans of spray paint came from."

"I wouldn't be surprised if Toner stole them." Tammy says. "After all, this is Toner we're talking about."

The twin/fraternity alliance make it to the museum, all four canvases still blank. However, no checkpoint to be found. "We should still do this anyways." Kit says.

"What if it's some sort of trap?" Kitty ask someone.

"Well just have to take the risk." Kit and Jasper get out and they spray paint their logos. They look around but they don't find anything.

"I don't get it. Where are we supposed to go?" Jasper asks.

"Not sure." Kitty looks at the clue again. Maybe they forgot something. She reads it over three times before she realizes they have forgotten something.

"Guys!" Kitty runs out of the cab, followed by Mitch. "We did forget something. Look at the clue again." As she hands Kit the clue, Diesel & DeeDee and Tammy & Rachel make it to the park. Rachel and Diesel spray their logos but are unsure of what to do next.

"What did we forget?" Kit asks. Her sister beckons her closer.

"We have to find it." Kitty whispers. "It could be anywhere." The realization shocks Kit, but needs to think fast. Where would Toner hide a checkpoint?

"How do you normally find something?" Jasper asks, somewhat to himself.

"Sometimes maps can be handy." Mitch says. Maps! Kit looks over and sees a map of the park posted. She quickly runs over to it and searches for... well, she didn't know.

"What are they looking at?" Tammy asks.

"I overheard them." Diesel says. "Apparently Toner hid the checkpoint and they're searching for it." That's when an idea pops into Tammy's mind.

"Follow them, but discreetly. That way, we can burst in and take first place. And one of their behinds gets sent home."

"What are we looking for?" Jasper asks, a bit frantic but not pushy.

"Not sure." Kit says. "Maybe a..."

"Logo." Kitty chimes in. She points up to a small building on the other side of the park. Gernon Brown Rec Center. It couldn't be smaller than Kitty's thumb. The Amazing Race logo on it is a bit hard to miss but she found it.

"The checkpoint is at the rec center?" Jasper asks.

"I guess so." Mitch says.

"Run!" Kit yells. The four of them run off.

"After them!" Tammy exclaims. The Oasis does their best to catch up. Kit waits until she's sure they can't see them and they sneakingly backtrack, snickering.

"Tammy's so silly." Kitty says. "She does remember a little thing called a cab, right?"

"Yep. I think we just tricked them into falling in last place." Kit says.

"Nice one. Couldn't have done it better myself." Mitch says. The four of them get back to the cabs. "I got another idea! Let's take them both so they can't use it."

"Sounds good. Let's go!" Kit yells. The twins and frat bros split up as they quickly race to the rec center in hopes of coming in first. They stay close to each other, well knowing that if they get separated, the other will think they they've betrayed them.

Meanwhile, the Oasis runs as far as the Rotary Baseball Field before Tammy stops them. "Guys, how come we haven't seen the other teams?" She asks.

"Maybe they're faster than we thought." Diesel says.

"Or... they tricked us and they took their cab to the checkpoint."

"What?!" DeeDee shouts. "First betrayal and now trickery?! I know they hate me but when are they just gonna let that go?"

"Guys! We need to run for it!" Rachel says. "If they really took cabs, what's stopping them from taking both."

"Impossible. I locked the doors." Diesel says.

"Did you?" Rachel glares at him. Diesel looks back on a few minutes ago and blushes.

"Uhhh..." Is all he could say before they started running again, this time at maximum power.

***

Kit & Kitty arrive at the Rex center first. They wait for Jasper & Mitch to arrive. When they do, the four of them hurry inside to find a gym. "There it is!" Kit points to the other end of the gym. Toner stands there with the rug sitting on the floor.

The four of them cheer in victory as they run over to the rug, but they stop short. "Nice job figuring out my trick." Toner says. "But as you know, only one team may come in first."

"When was the last time you guys had first?" Jasper asks.

"London." Kitty says. "Waaaaaaaay back at the beginning of the race."

"Woah! You guys take it." The frat bros step out of the way as the twins hold paws and step on the rug.

"Kit & Kitty, for the first time in forever, you're in first place." Toner announces. The two hug each other tight and squeal. They step off as their friends step on. "Jasper & Mitch, second place."

"Woohoo!" Jasper cheers. He reaches into his pocket and pulls out a deck of playing cards. "Anyone up for Canasta?"

"Sure." The twins both say.

***

With two teams checked in, the other two fight to be one step ahead of each other. By the time they pass Interstate 610, Diesel & DeeDee and Tammy & Rachel are all sweaty and exhausted, but they have to keep moving. None of them came four weeks into the race to be eliminated now.

"When... will we... be there?" Rachel asks in between gasps.

"I don't know!" DeeDee says. All they can do is keep running up Marconi Drive, knowing one of them is coming in last. After another while of running and more exhaustion, they pass Magnolia Drive, getting closer and closer by the second.

"Oh la la, I don't know if I can do this any longer!" Diesel says.

"I've gotcha buddy." DeeDee quickly picks him up and carries him further.

"I don't care how much energy you have, run for it!!!" Tammy yells. Her and Rachel try to ditch the Policefurs but DeeDee keeps catching up. When they pass another building, the words Grenon Brown on another straight ahead catch her attention.

"There! That... has to... be it!" Rachel says. Both teams cross Harrison Avenue and throw open the doors of the rec center. They both quickly locate the gym and the checkpoint, where Jasper & Mitch and Kit & Kitty have fun with their Canasta.

"Traitors!" DeeDee yells. The two teams quickly make a break for the rug. Tammy pulls out her spray paint and sprays a little on the floor, making DeeDee slips and fall, sending her and Diesel to the ground.

"Ha! Better luck next time losers!" Tammy says. Her and Rachel step on the rug.

"Olympians come in third." Toner confirms. They jump for joy (with Tammy evilly laughing) and they step off. Toner walks over to the fallen Policefurs and gives them a hand getting up. "Diesel, DeeDee, you're in 4th place."

"Oh man!" Diesel says. His chest gets heavy and DeeDee gets teary eyed. "It's over isn't it?"

"Nope. This was a non-elimination round. You're still in the race. But you do get this." Toner hands them a mop and bucket.

"And what do you expect us to do with these?" DeeDee asks.

"I made a deal with the owner of this building: let me use this place as the checkpoint and I make the last place team clean the gym floor." The Policefurs walk away to get started. "Only four teams remain. Can they step it up for the grand finale? To find out, keep watching... the Amazing Race."
