The teams journey from Dubai to Calcutta, India, where Linda and Karen encounter a legal issue over a cab dispute, but their situation unfolds quite differently than Colin and Christie's from the previous episode. Upon arriving in Calcutta, all the teams tackle a challenging brick-making Roadblock. One team struggles significantly and considers the Fast Forward, but they hesitate when they realize it requires them to shave their heads. Instead, every team opts for the Heavy but Short / Light But Long Detour, selecting the Heavy But Short route. After pushing taxicabs with local assistance for half a mile, they head to the pit stop at Victoria Memorial. The last-place team begins to lose hope, only to be met with an unexpected twist.
