Don welcomes the contestants onto the twenty six part race around the world. At the end of each part will be a Chill Zone where the last arriving pair may be cut from the competition while the first team to reach the last Chill Zone will win a million dollars which the contestants are very enthusiastic about. Don introduces the Don Box, which is a tip box that will help the contestants throughout the race.

The race begins as Don is trampled underneath the racers. The challenge is to race on foot to the CN Tower and find the Don Box for the next clue. Junior is the first to spot the tower but Dwayne runs into a trash can which lands on Jacques and Josee which he apologizes for. Geoff and Brody stop to see if they're okay as the ice dancers quickly resume their running and the trash can lands on Geoff and Brody as they later run into a pole. The father and son are the first pair to reach the Don Box where the next challenge, an Either/Or lies.

Don states that the next challenge is to either climb 144 flights of stairs to reach the largest observation deck in the world or to take the elevator in "Scares" and do a skywalk around the tower. He then assures the viewers that they had a safety rail installed and that the contestants will be wearing helmets. The teams begin choosing their challenges with the stepbrothers, police women and fashion bloggers choosing scares. Mickey and Jay choose stairs as Jay explains that Mickey gets nosebleeds if he goes up too high too fast. Jay then snatches the clue leading Mickey to get a paper cut.

Dwayne and Junior reach the elevator but Dwayne accidentally pushes all the buttons when Junior dodges his high five which he questions, stating that he didn't know there could be that many floors. The other arriving teams decide to choose stairs instead while Jen believes that the elevator will still be faster. As some of the teams are committing to climb the stairs, the fashion bloggers tell their follower's about a fashion faux pas, which they believe is overalls believing that they're nasty and old fashioned. This angers the janitor mopping the floor next to them as he throws his supplies onto them. The fashion bloggers are the first team to reach the deck which excites them both until they reach the skywalk.

Kelly and Taylor are the last team to arrive at the tower and Taylor blames her mother for slowing them down. Meanwhile, Geoff and Brody are currently in the lead while doing the stairs, Geoff motivates the adversity twins to try harder but Mickey reminds Jay that they can't keep alliances believing that they'd be easy to beat if it comes down to it. The police women are facing some trouble in the challenge as Sanders is unable to climb the stairs and about to puke which amuses Macarthur. Meanwhile, Tom and Jen are terrified of going out in the skywalk believing that the wind will be too much for them.

The elevator arrives but Carrie quickly closes the door which makes some of the teams unable to reach it in time. Owen compliments Leonard's robe which he states has "cloaking powers", muttering a spell which creeps Owen out who backs away. Meanwhile Tom and Jen refuse to pick a helmet, believing it to be a fashion crime. As Dwayne and Junior tire down, Geoff and Brody are enthusiastic about getting exercise. Macarthur then confesses that her body is full of glutes, which makes it easy for her to climb stairs even while carrying Sanders. The stepbrothers indulge in an insulting war as they tire down while Mickey is beginning to lose his mind. The other teams arrive via elevator with Devin and Carrie in first place but Tom and Jen stops them believing that they need to disinfect their helmets first which annoys the other duos.

Carrie tries to console Devin as he has a fear of falling, while Gerry and Pete manage to take the lead. The elevator finally arrives for the remaining four teams but unfortunately for them, Owen manages to stink it up. The contestants facing the skywalk are a little terrified and try to motivate one another to do better. Jacques and Josee are the first team to climb the flights of stairs and must now zipline down to the airport to grab their next clue. Don states that the challenge was tested by an intern and he offers condolences to his family. Gerry and Pete meanwhile question why they joined the show believing that it was a terrible idea. The ice dancers are the first team down the zipline and Josee confesses that their fans are the reasons they are able to perform under extreme pressure and that it helps Jacques overcome his faults, which he questions believing it to be an insult.

Noah meanwhile tells the viewers that he's motivated to focus and win the competition this time but Owen has other ideas. Devin is glad to be able to do the race with Carrie while stating things that she's good at, and saying that his girlfriend Shelly was busy. The tennis rivals face some issues after both of them fall off the zipline while Owen and Noah face some trouble on the skywalk as the wind is too much for Noah.

The last remaining exhausted pairs have finished climbing the stairs. The teams who took scares begin arriving with the geniuses having been vomited over. Devin and Carrie are excited about getting the chance to go to Morrocco. The race intensifies as Brody gets a leg cramp which freaks Geoff out as even the adversity twins have been able to pass them and he starts dragging Brody. All of them have now arrived and booked themselves on one of the three flights. Don then signs the show off saying that the outcome is to be continued.
