Ep 2. We Can

Late into Night 1 - Team Bend Racing, who were almost forced out of the race from heat exhaustion, manage to rally together and continue on. The pack of front-running teams sets a blistering pace, paddling through the darkness as they return to the main island of Viti Levu. Team Iron Cowboy fumbles as they retrieve the Ocean Leg Medallion, leading a team member to become frustrated. Slower teams continue their way up, over, and around the dangerous volcanic island trek in the humid conditions, including father and son Team Endure, who are hoping to reunite with Mark Macy's former teammates, Team Stray Dogs - the oldest team in the field. Teams returning to the main island switch disciplines to Stand-Up Paddleboarding (SUP). Struggling with nighttime navigation, Team Unbroken decides to rest and wait for daylight before continuing their trek. As Day 2 begins, lead teams finish the SUP portion of the Ocean Leg - with one experienced team falling hours behind after making a critical river navigation error. Team Unbroken tries to make up time on the island trek, but their past physical injuries hamper their progress and put them in jeopardy of missing the Day 3 cutoff. The lead pack of teams arrive at Camp 1, reuniting with their assistant crews and taking a brief respite and refuel before beginning Leg 2 - the Jungle Leg. The Iron Cowboy team captain has an emotional breakdown after suffering on the open ocean. Two rookie teams are forced to quit the race after a fast-moving tropical storm threatens their safety. As the storm begins to pummel the island interior, one section of the racecourse becomes impassable, trapping Team Estonian Ace in a steep canyon facing rising waters. Race Management is forced to temporarily shutdown the course as they mount a rescue attempt of the trapped Estonians.
