Cherry on Top of the Sundae That's Already Melted

With five teams eliminated, the teams take off from their Pit Stop at a windmill in Lithuania and receive a clue instructing them to fly to Dubrovnik, Croatia. As the scramble for flights begin, teams try to follow the lead of others, or risk finding their own potentially better option. An error in the tickets received by one team causes them to fall dangerously behind. Upon arriving in Dubrovnik, teams travel to the base of the Fort of St. Lawrence and encounter a Roadblock. The task requires them to help with the restoration of the local architecture. After riding a zip-line, teams are plunged into another task, a Detour. The task allows team to choose between either taking hard physical labor up front, or saving it for the end of the task. One team encounters difficulties with transportation upon completing the task, and is forced to redo part of the leg over after not following the stated instructions in a clue. In the end, however, one team is unable to catch up to another, and is eliminated in a close finish.
