As the timer ticks down Player jumps up going over to the snack table. Xifeng joins him.

"Why does Sera provide so much food?" Xifeng asks looking at the massive spread.

"Probably because Zack is here." Player snickers looking over at the red head who has been constantly snacking throughout the viewings. Xifeng chuckles.

"Any recommendations? I haven't eaten a lot of American candy before." She tells him.

"I know just the thing. Here, take some popcorn, add some M&M's, Reece's Pieces, and some nuts. Shake it and get it all mixed up, now add some caramel." Player says. Xifeng follows his lead. Once it's ready she pops a handful in her mouth.

"Oh, this is really good." She says grinning.

"I know right." Player says. Back at the seats Team Red is watching the two teens  interact.

"They're cute together." Ivy says.

"Tease him later guys." Carmen says as the timer hits the last ten seconds. Everyone gets back to their seats, Player sits next to Carmen with a goofy grin on his face and digs into his popcorn.

(Opening)

Bellum: It took a while for my algorithm to translate the Sanskrit text on the second relic. And, for my codebreaker to solve the riddle contained within that text. And, for me to solve what my codebreaker was attempting to communicate.

(Mime Bomb is miming... something, behind her.)

"Dude you are unintentionally hindering VILE." Gray laughs.

"I'll take it." Kyle chuckles.

Bellum: But if I correctly deciphered Mime Bomb's charades, my highly advanced drone should be on the verge of locating the third and final Relic right here in India... within the mouth of the crocodile. Behold, the relic that we seek.

(Carmen drops out of nowhere, grabs the relic and propels back up.)

"Well that came right the heck out of nowhere." Player snorts.

"Great timing though." Carmen says.

Bellum: In Carmen Sandiego's hands.

Cleo: What? How? Does she have eyes everywhere?

"Oh yeah, my spy network is way more vast then VILE's. It consists of Player and Jules, and I couldn't ask for a better team of geniuses." Carmen says.

Maelstrom: We are the ones who procured the 2nd relic in Norway. How could she possibly know what was written upon it?

"Pure dumb luck." Zari says.

"As much as I hate to agree with Umbridge over there, she's kind of right." Player says.

"Harry Potter reference? Really?" Xifeng asks. Player just shrugs.

Brunt: Not to mention, figuring out its... achoo! ...riddles.

"If she is sick it's likely I am as well." Shadowsan says bitterly.

Cleo: Ugh.

Brunt: What? Not contagious.

Cleo: Quickly, Saira. Send your Operative after her.

"No Saira. Don't do that!" Kyle says panicked.

Bellum: So, he can do what? Tie her up with invisible rope?

"Or just get his butt kicked." Jean-Paul says.
