Jinkx & Dela, who arrived first in the previous leg, are the first team to depart Bogotá, Colombia. They rip open their next clue.
Dela says that they'll to try and stay at the front of the pack for the rest of the race, but that doing so without alliances is going to be difficult. "Instead,"
Jinkx adds, "we’ll just have to run the other teams over with our car. I’m kidding. We’ll get a taxi driver to do it for us."
The rest of the teams all depart the Pit Stop in the order they arrived, and as the sun rises in Bogotá, the racers head to the airport in taxis. In her and Lady Bunny’s taxi,
Coco ponders on the ramifications of travelling to Peru, her namesake country. "Does this make me President? Am I their President now? You know, I’ve always considered branching out into politics," she muses, as
Bunny tries to have a nap in the back seat.
As the first six teams to arrive at the airport,
Alaska & Willam,
Gia & Laganja (and their new friend Sebastian, who Gia somehow manages to book a seat for despite him not having his passport on him),
Jinkx & Dela,
Mayhem & Morgan,
Monét & Monique and
Sasha & Shea all secure seats on the first flight to Peru. The other four teams -
Bunny & Coco,
Farrah & Valentina,
Jasmine & Kennedy and
Kelly & Tammie - settle for a later flight, much to the annoyance of Team French Vanilla Fantasy. However, the first connecting flight from Lima to Arequipa gets cancelled due to strong winds, and the six teams in the lead find themselves stuck at the airport, forced to take the same connecting flight as the four trailing teams. “We’re all on the same flight,”
Mayhem sighs, watching her lead disintegrating. “We’re all on the same flight!”
Valentina cheers, buying her fellow trailing teams complimentary iced lattes in celebration. “To the iced coffee crew,”
Kelly says, raising her beverage and toasting the new alliance.
Concerned by the looming equaliser,
Gia approaches the airline desk and stealthily asks if she, Laganja and Sebastian can be seated at the front of the plane, knowing that it will benefit them in the mad rush through the airport in Arequipa. Farrah & Valentina overhear this and tell the other teams in the newly-formed Iced Coffee Crew, who all then head over to inquire about upgrades. Gia becomes offended by this, accuses the other teams of copying her idea and asks Sebastian to act as her bodyguard. "You can’t do this! We’ll sue you all after the race!" Gia shouts at the other waiting teams, as Sebastian does his best to keep them away from the desk. "Excuse your mouth?"
Tammie replies, severely doubting Gia’s knowledge of the American legal system. It’s only when Jasmine offers everyone a joint that the tension is diffused, and, with upgrades secured, the teams go their separate ways.
