The Penultimate Leg begins with teams learning they will fly to Porto, Portugal via Frankfurt. Upon arrival at Porto Francisco sa Carneiro Airport, teams will encounter another Amazing Race first: the Valet Roulette. Teams will randomly choose a key from the valet board resulting in either an automatic or manual car. There are two automatic and three manual cars.
Gaia demands the beast return his Luna. But he is forced to dehenshin. “I will not forgive you. I hate you!” Luna seemingly says from within the monster. The Gozyus shield Gaia from the monster’s attack as it disappears.
Shoma finishes off Magen and automatically dehenshins after delivering the finisher. Back at Hapipare, Sachika excitedly tells Uncle Dente about the Gochipod working so well. Shoma notices Uncle Dente has lost more teeth, but Uncle Dente says he just had to pull them out for cavities.
Okay! Slay saved its best for last! The last four episodes of the Viu version of the series was a roller coaster of drama, emotion, shock, and awe. And it was probably some of the most satisfying final episodes of a teleserye I’ve seen in a loooong time!
Rikuo is on a rooftop practicing when two guys confront him for being so hot and amazing that their girlfriends either left them or used their wedding money on his merch. The two use Sun Vulcan and Zyuohger Rings and henshin.
Shoma and Sachika are walking home after just finishing a job. Shoma sees an abandoned building and he rushes in, thinking it might be used as a Press collection site. But it is not. He tells Sachika that he’s a bit more on alert lately thanks to Liselle. Sachika says she’ll keep an eye out and that they’ve got this.
Dressed in costumes, Sachika, Shoma, and Hanto are helping at an event for popular mukbanger Wakamen who takes snacks and turns them gourmet. Sachika got the call three days ago as Wakamen was short on staff. And it just so happened she bought the snack to be featured for this event, ramen snacks.
Well then! This penultimate week (I think?) of the Viu version of the GMA/Viu co-production Slay was very eventful! One mystery solved and a longtime comeuppance finally arriving. And a huge revelation that seems to take us into the final week of this series.
At the Pit Stop, teams use the Expedia app to book their flights and hotels to Naples, Italy which the Race will be visiting “for the first time ever”. All teams get on the same flight.
I don’t know, but this might be my favorite week of Slay episodes yet! Though now, I really do prefer the GMA TV broadcast episodes over the Viu version as I feel the pacing is better and it includes deleted storylines. (Which I still don’t understand why.)
