The Bomber
In Seattle, two teams will fight to stop a bomber on his city wide rampage. Who will come out on top and who will fall short on The Phone? Meena and Danielle are the first to hear from the Operator, right before the bomber strikes. The Operator gives Meena and Danielle their first tasks as they start the race in catching the bomber before sundown. Meena's teammate Joel and Danielle's teammate Delvaughn are brought into the game as the teams start their missions. The teams head to the Fishermen's Terminal in search of 'The Suspect.' Danielle and Delvaughn reach the boat first, quickly jumping into their wet suits to open the lock box. Joel and Meena reach the boat and it's a race against time as the water rises while each of the teams try to unlock their next clue. Joel and Meena track the bomber down at Pike Place Market, while Danielle and Delvaughn are eliminated from the game. Joel and Meena find the explosives that the bomber left behind and it's up to them to disarm it. The team is unable to beat the clock, but luckily the bomb was a decoy. At the Space Needle, Meena makes a choice which puts Joel in charge of finding four flags on the outer halo on the Space Needle. Joel overcomes his fear of heights and is able to retrieve the clues but Meena has to climb for the remaining three flags. The team figures out that the bomber's next target is at Gasworks Park and the Operator calls the police to report their findings. Even though the bomber is caught, the game isn't over yet. In an unexpected turn of events, Meena and Joel are suddenly faced against one another. The two are quizzed on details from the day and Joel comes out on top. The Operator then gives Joel a final decision- to take the money or to split it with his teammate Meena. Joel makes his decision and decides to split it with Meena and the team walks away with the $35,000 cash prize.

The Conspiracy
In Seattle, Kristi, Cassie, Jason and Joey are all strangers in Occidental Square. Little do they know, the Operator is watching and they're going to get a call that could change their lives. A car chase through the square catches their attention, and soon the Operator pairs Jason with Kristi and Joey with Cassie, before sending them to the Westlake Plaza. The teams find banners left behind the chemical company and have to piece them together to know where to run next. Joey and Cassie spot the trolley first while the other team is tipped off by the Operator. At the next stop, the teams hop off to check out their next form of transportation at the end of the dock - helicopters. The teams have to use the equipment on the plane to decipher the CEO's conversation to track his next move. Both teams are incorrect on their first two answers, and then Cassie and Joey correctly guess the University of Washington. Unfortunately for Kristi and Jason, the game is over for them. Cassie and Joey arrive at the environmentalist's headquarters and have to find out where the rally is taking place. The pair guesses the right GPS coordinates and leaves on their helicopter. On the ride over there, Cassie tries to encourage Joey to work harder since she solved the last two riddles. Joey disagrees with her accusation that he isn't working hard enough. The team arrives at the football field looking for the banner which may tell them about the conspiracy. The Operator tells Joey that if Cassie unravels the banner they'll get more money wired into their account than if he did it. Joey decides to have Cassie do it and she is pumped to get to work. Joey has to help Cassie get near the banner, but he struggles to swing her rope near the target. Finally, Cassie is able to reach the target and unravel the environmentalists' banner to reveal the conspiracy. The Operator interrupts the team's celebration when he tells them only one of them will be able to win the $50,000. The two have to answer trivia questions, but it is Cassie who wins. Cassie has to decide whether or not to talk away with all the money, or give half to Joey. After thinking about her future, Cassie decides to take money for herself, leaving Joey in tears at the 50 yard line.

The Wiseguys
In Boston, the players must stop a police lieutenant from be assassinated by the mob. Katelyn, Stephanie, Rob, and Chris are all stopped in the city when they hear a phone ringing. The Operator tells them the game is on. There are gunshots all around and the teams are kidnapped by the mobsters. Rob and Stephanie are first to break free, despite Stephanie's disappointment with Rob. Katelyn and Chris catch up soon after. At Mike's Scrap and Metal, the teams race through the lot for clues about the assassination. When Chris and Katelyn find the final car and discover a bloody thumb, they continue on to their next mission. But Rob and Stephanie are doomed when the mob finds them still in the car lot. Then, Chris and Katelyn come dangerously close to tracking down the boss of the mob. Katelyn tells the Operator that the hit list is located at Joey's Bar, but the answer is wrong. The team heads to Pier 17 to find the hit list before the mob gets there. When the Operator gives Chris a decision to double their money, he decides to turn it down and take on the next mission himself. Katelyn now has only 15 seconds to help Chris unlock a safe while the police try to keep the mob at bay. Katelyn is able to give Chris the correct combination and the pair are able to unlock the safe and stop the mob from their police assassination. But the Operator tells them that now they must fight one another to get the money. Katelyn wins the money but decides to split it with Chris since she wouldn't have been able to bring down the mob without him.

The Russians
When Russian spies steal top-secret plans for a Scramjet plane, Mitch, Rameika, Samantha and Tanya must compete to find the painting where they blueprints have been stashed and collect the fifty thousand dollar reward. Mitch and Rameika quickly dominate the game, figuring out the clue at the library before Samantha and Tanya, and then leading each other through an elaborate maze of lasers at the Russian Embassy to get to a piece of the Scramjet. With Samantha and Tanya officially disqualified, Mitch and Rameika experience their first failure when Rameika is unable to find a painting clue at an artist's loft while Mitch distracts the artist by posing nude. Fortunately, the team is able to uncover the clue after a dangerous car chase and follow the clue to a Russian church. Here, they have to identify which of five nearly identical paintings perfectly matches the counterfeit they've been given -- as this is the painting where the blueprints are stashed. Having won thirty-five thousand dollars, Mitch and Rameika next must compete against each other to determine which of them gets to keep the money. Although Mitch answers all the questions first, he ultimately decides to split the winnings with his partner.
