Salah satu anggota tim harus mengambil sebuah koper yang didapatkan dari sebuah mobil bertanda, kemudian mencari satu dari lima puluh "mata-mata" di sekeliling Tidal Basin, yang akan menjawab kalimat sandi yang peserta berikan, dengan kalimat sandi pelengkapnya (Max & Katie: "Where can I get a good half-smoke with chili?" / "I've heard there's a great place on U Street."; Bates & Anthony: "I did not dress warm enough for this weather." / "Perhaps you would like to borrow my gloves."; Mona & Beth: "The cherry blossoms are beautiful here in April." / "I'll have to bring my mother next spring.").
