**Explosive Chain Reaction** is the sixth episode of the main series. In this episode, Hellhound receives a new car from the Hellgang in the Lost Heaven Countryside. Plans for dinner are cut short when Black Widow gets involved in an attack that left her injured and unconscious while the attack causes a multi-vehicle accident.

## ***Summary***

Less than a month after the convoy assault in Utah, in the Lost Heaven Countryside, Hellhound wants to know why Black Widow (who is bringing Hellhound along in her Oldsmobile) is visiting the area. She tells Hellhound that everyone has a surprise for him. As they're talking, they pass a gas station, a school bus, and an RV parked to the side of the road.

A few minutes later, the two enter a farm where the rest of the Hellgang are waiting. Hellhound got out and decides to see the surprise everyone else has for him. The first barn to his right reveals a rusty Oldsmobile Regency, with Hellhound asking if this is his new ride. When he asks where the real car is, the doors on the left side fall off despite him not touching it; everyone else laughs at his reaction. Eventually, Sweeper informs Hellhound his actual surprise is located in the barn next to his semi: a black Dodge Charger SRT-8 with upgrades added by Inertia. Feeling hungry, Hellhound and Black Widow have a friendly competition to race to a restaurant, with Rebel and Savage said they will be joining them later. Nomad says that he has to take care of some business (when in fact, he is connected to an event that occurs later in the episode), and Sweeper and Inertia stay on the farm to work on Sweeper's truck.

While Black Widow and Hellhound are driving towards the restaurant, they pass an accident seen involving a vehicle shown from the beginning of the episode, forcing them to slow down and drive carefully. Moments later, they continue their race.

However, the RV (which is now parked on the opposite side of the road) suddenly explodes when Black Widow drives by it and sends her vehicle in the air. It then slams into a Gavril T-Series on the opposite side of the road, which then causes a chain reaction that also includes three subsequent explosions: one from the nearby gas station when the T-Series (from the initial impact) crashes into the area; another from an oil tanker when two vehicles behind it rear-ends the tanker; and a third from propane tanks when a vehicle falls onto a trailer with the tanks near the gas station.

After the chain reaction ends, Hellhound rushes towards the Oldsmobile, only to find an injured and unconscious Black Widow. Shocked from the explosions and crashes, he calls everyone else in the Hellgang for help.

The Season Finale revealed that before the events in this episode took place, on February 26th, 2017, Nomad and Andy (who was still alive) met up in the West Coast to discuss the plan to kill Hellhound and his friends. Andy wanted to avenge the death of his brother Johnny, and with the help of Nomad, the two agreed to attack Hellhound's friends one by one. Nomad sourced the explosives from Savage, while Andy obtained an RV to be used as the host for the explosives. He also acquired a red Gavril T75 Tow Truck, which can be seen parked at the gas station in the beginning of this episode.

## ***Trivia***

* FrIzErIs forgot how much time was spent on making this episode. Despite this, he did mention the following: a total of 291 GB of footage consisting of 612 clips (excluding the deleted clips) were recorded; 25 vehicles were either damaged or destroyed.
* 25 users from the official BeamNG forums were featured in this episode.
* One of the vehicles involved in the earlier accident, a white Gavril Grand Marshal V8 Sport, can be seen in Episode 7, albeit being carried by a flatbed truck and without the red Lancia Delta Integrale and trailer; it can also be seen parked at the gas station at the beginning of the episode.
* Before Episode 8 was released, one can assume Nomad might be connected to the RV explosion that took out Black Widow. This was eventually revealed to be the case in Episode 8, and, to a further extent, the Season 1 Finale when Nomad and Andy met up earlier in West Coast, USA.
	+ Furthermore, in Episode 8, Andy and Nomad revealed in a conversation that if the school bus didn't block the RV when Black Widow's Oldsmobile passed by for the first time, Andy would have been able to detonate the explosives earlier; had the initial attempt took place, both Hellhound and Black Widow would have been injured or killed. But because the school bus foiled that attempt, Andy had to position the RV on the other side of the road (after Nomad told him from his "taking care of business" excuse), and then he was able to successfully attack Black Widow.
	+ This episode also foreshadows Nate's eventual betrayal of the police force and his decision to join the Hellgang.

## ***Mistakes***

* One explosion causes a blue pickup truck to be destroyed. Another scene shows that the truck is only on fire.
