Plot
The episode begins in Brazil, where the Ice Dancers are the first team to depart. They take a Travel Tip from the Don Box and are shocked to find out the next location is Transylvania. The Ice Dancers are delighted about their major lead, only to find out that the other teams would be traveling on the same bus as them. Josee does not take this very well and throws another temper tantrum.

Not wanting to be on the second flight, Stephanie orders Ryan to throw her over the other teams in line, and manages to get the first two tickets for herself and Ryan. As the teams settle themselves on flights one and two, Spud tries to console his teammate about not being on the first flight, but has little success. With the first flight arriving, most of the teams are terrified by the location, but the Goths are satisfied with the prospect of visiting Dracula's castle. During the race to the castle, Josee tries to sabotage the Police Cadets by pushing Sanders down the hill, leading MacArthur to tackle the Ice Dancers. This leads to MacArthur and Josee getting into a fight.

Meanwhile, on the second flight, the Fashion Bloggers get into an argument over their blog after Carrie asks about it's creation. Back at the castle, the Goths and Daters are the first to get their next tip. Whoever picks the tip must drag one of the coffins in the castle, which will consist of their teammate in it, and bring it to the graveyard to get their next tip. While the Ice Dancers and Cadets fall behind because of their feud, the second flight arrives, carrying the last seven teams. Meanwhile, the Surfer Dudes form an unofficial alliance with the Sisters, although Emma doesn't approve of this. While most teams face trouble in the next challenge, Josee uses the opportunity to get revenge on Jacques for accidentally dropping her during the Olympics and vigorously pushes the coffin, wanting to get first place. Despite their speed, the Stepbrothers manage to arrive before the Ice Dancers.

The teams must then ride on horseback to the Romanian gymnastics training center, where they will find their next travel tip. The Goths decide to use the opportunity to experience what it's like being inside a coffin, with Crimson switching with Ennui mid-race, despite being aware of the penalty. Meanwhile, the Fashion Bloggers fall behind most of the teams, with their incessant arguing over the creation of their blog. The Ice Dancers pick up speed and manage to regain their lead, being the first ones to get their next tip. The next challenge is a Botch or Watch, in which the teams must first walk a balance beam featuring a jump at the center. After doing this, they must land over a vaulting horse. Their landing will be judged by a local gym teacher and if they do so correctly, they will get the approval to move on. The teams must then race to the next Chill Zone, where the last team to arrive may be eliminated.

The Ice Dancers complete the Botch or Watch with ease, due to Josee's exceptional ice dancing skills, and get first place for the third time in a row. Both Emma and Chet also have no problem competing in the Botch or Watch, with the latter having taken Rhythmic Gymnastics at school. Despite Geoff's suggestion, Lorenzo refuses to work together with his step-brother, but they still manage to bag fourth place. As more teams reach the Chill Zone, the pressure starts to get to Stephanie due to the Daters being in the bottom three teams. Meanwhile, the Goths get a ten minute penalty for switching places in the coffin, but don't seem to be phased by it.

The Fashion Bloggers reconcile after Tom gets injured due to being electrocuted by a light, but with Jen's motivation, he is able to complete the challenge. The race is set between the final two teams. The Daters manage to pick up speed, leaving the Fashion Bloggers finishing in last place, leading to their elimination. However, find out that Tom's fez hats are in fashion now. Tom and Jen appreciate the fact that they were able to do the race together, despite the numerous challenges that almost caused their death. The episode ends with them getting chased by bats, due to Tom's fez hats.
