Scott: It's beautiful.
Jaime: You're my little sister, right?
- Yes.
Dan: A long-anticipated embrace united Jaime with his sister, Madison.
Jaime: To have this opportunity to meet her, to hold her, it means the world to me.
Dan: And learning his father's name... - Your father's name is Steven Sunter.
Dan: ...brought Shawn to tears.
- [sobbing] [dramatic instrumental sting] Dan: Team Green's photo saved them from a strike.
- Oh my goodness.
Dan: And that moves you from 4th place to 2nd place.
And the first place prize went to Team Blue... - Ahoo!
Dan: ...giving them two photos to submit in the next photo challenge.
DNA tells us who we are and where we came from.
Following their own DNA, four teams are racing... Hannah: Oh my gosh!
Dan: ...to win $50,000.
- Fingers crossed.
Dan: And to find their family.

On the East Coast is Team Red in Warrenton, Virginia.
And down south is the only duo without a strike, Team Blue.
They'll start in Albany, Georgia with Shawn's cousin, Jasmine.
Shawn: When we woke up this morning, Cousin Jasmine already had a spread of fresh fruit out for us for breakfast, and, uh, so, you know, we just took the time to hang out with her and just reminisce about family and, and talk about what might be down the road.
Jasmine: So I noticed that you had a book with some pictures in it.
- Yeah, I do.
- I wanted to give you the ones from yesterday to add to it, and then I had one more that I wanted to give to you.
- Oh, really?
- Yes.

Oh, wow.
Heh.

Wow, that is so wild.

Jamie: Kind and gracious Heavenly Father, thank You for this day.
Thank You for allowing us to be here, Lord, and thank You for the family that we've been allowed to meet, and just thank You so much for all the blessings You've given us.
God is a very important part of our journey, and the fact that we can bow our heads with newfound family, that means everything in the world to us.
All these favors and blessings we ask in Thy name, amen.
All: [varied times] Amen Jamie: This looks good.
My Uncle Mark and his wife made such a fantastic meal for us this morning.
The company was great.
But then they surprised us with something more than just food.
[knocking] Woman 1: Hello.
Jansen: Hey.
Jamie: Hey!
Woman 1: Hello.
Man 1: Hey!
How's it goin'?
Jamie: It was Mark's kids, Shelby and her brother, Logan, who are our cousins.

Logan: And it was just cool gettin' to be like, hey, we're family, you know?
It's not just I've known you forever, but we're family.
Shelby: I literally remember being in third grade in Gwen's class together.
Jansen: Yeah.

And we had an amazing time this morning, and I can't wait to spend the rest of my life together with them as family.
♪ Hannah: This morning, we got to have breakfast.
Sue made us breakfast.
It was nice just to be able to all sit down and talk just one last time before we have to leave.
Sue: I have something for the two of you.
I mean, it's just a little something.
They're from Pat, your biological mom.
She got married in August, and her friend made those and had them on the aisle when she walked down.
They're ladybugs since that's her nickname that my grandpa gave her.
Hannah: The gift of the ladybug, it felt so personal, not only because it includes, you know, her nickname, everyone calls her ladybug, but giving us a piece from her wedding kind of felt like we were being included in our own special way, and it really means a lot.
It does.
They're really sweet.
Scott: That's incredible.
Thank you so very much.
I'm sad that we're leaving here, and I just, I really wish that we could just kinda stop time for a little bit and just stay here with you guys for a while, and then, then move on, but, uh, unfortunately that's just not the case with this... Hannah: That's okay.
Scott: I miss my family.
I miss Joe and Chris.
I miss Steve.
That's tough, because I'm missing people that I've just met, and I'm missing the people that are still back home, and, um, it's hard.
It's hard.
Hannah: Thank you so much.
Sue: You're welcome!
Have fun.
Be careful.
♪ Jaime: So this morning, I got to hang out with my sister, Madison.
We chatted about the family, and it was awesome.
Madison: Would you like to see Anthony while he's all grown up?
- Absolutely, please.
- That's him now.
- Wow.
Madison pulls out a couple pictures, and they are of my little brother Anthony, who's 18, and I've never met.
It's incredible.
This is nuts.
- Yeah.
- It's like a copy-paste of your brother, Agustus.
Like, I wouldn't be able to tell this person out in a crowd.
When I was placed in foster care, I was placed with Agustus, Jeremy, and Josette, three younger siblings, and when I saw this picture of Anthony, it was uncanny how much he looked like Agustus.
I gave you Agustus's, uh, Instagram.
- Yeah.
- Look at this.
Alex: Oh, wow.
That's not the same person?
Madison: No, it's not.
Jaime: It's not, bro.
[laughing] Madison: That's what I was saying when I when I f-- when he, immediately.
Jaime: Blood is strong.

Good looking kids.
Madison: Yep.

Madison: I really hope you get a chance to do so.
Jaime: I am so grateful for the time I got to spend with Madison.
I'm really excited for the next leg of the race and see what that brings and what, what family member's behind the next door.
Thank you so much for this.
I appreciate you.
I can't wait to meet Anthony.
I can't wait.

Because we came in first place yesterday, we received the prize of being able to submit two photos today.
Curtis: The photo subject is a road.
Shawn: And we looked straight through the windshield, and we see a road.
Jasmine: What are you doing?
Shawn: Uh, we gotta take a picture of a road!
Jasmine: O-Okay!
Curtis: This looks nice!
[laughing] Dan: Today's photo subject is a road.
Teams will have 30 minutes off the clock to take and submit the best photo that they can.
Curtis: Come up to about, like, right here in the center.
Get right where I am.
[shutter clicks] Shawn: Ah.
Oh, that's nice.
Curtis: Submitting two photos means we double our chances of actually being able to, uh, win the photo contest.
Shawn: Our first thought is, we gotta go take a really quick picture of this just in case.
- Mm-hm.
- Yeah.
- Our first one.
- First one.
Jasmine: Good luck, win!
Both: Thank you!
[dramatic music] Dan: With one of their two photos already submitted, Team Blue is heading to Forest Park, Georgia.

Keith: Arkans-- Marcus: I don't see Arkan-saw.
I see Little Rock and Ar-kansas.
That's all I see.
Is Arkan-saw the same as Ar-kansas or what?
Keith: Nah.

♪ [rubber chicken squawks] - Ah!
Both: [laugh] Jaime: So last night I got to hang out with my sister, Madison, and she had a game that she wanted to play with us.
Madison: In season nine of Relative Race, my favorite challenge was Chucking Chicken.
Jaime: And [laughingly] we kept one of the chickens.
- [laughingly] We named him Balthazar.
[squawk] [laughing] What are you doing to poor Balthazar?
- He's getting a beard like us.
The Team Beards.
[laughs] [sighs happily] - Uh, all right, okay.
So, he's got a nice, big, black beard.
- Here you go, look, all right, so, now, look.
The resemblance.
Look.
You and I made something.

But God affords me once-in-a-lifetime opportunities.
♪ I really had never tried to look for my biological family before.
I have the best family anyone could ask for.
When I turned 40, I began noticing all these little idiosyncrasies that, for the first time, was really kinda showing up.
I wanted to find out where does this come from?
Why is this happening?
Where is this originating from?
And go to the source, and find my biological roots.
♪ This journey means a lot to me for a couple of different reasons.
My daughter, Hannah, has moved out.
She's launching on her own, and this is a chance for us to spend that quality time like we used to.
Hannah: As I've gotten older and I've...
Even before I moved out, I've kinda been on my own.
Not that I don't see my dad, you know, all the time, but it's not like when I was younger when we would spend all this time together, so this is like the first time in years that I've really just, like, got to spend time with my dad.
So I'm really excited to do that.
Scott: I'm also very excited about who we're going to meet.
Hannah: I feel like getting to know our biological family is gonna be, like, closing, like, a chapter, like, in closing the book.
Like, that's always been something we've always wondered about.
That's always been something, like, lingering, and now it's done.
Like, we, we'll get to meet them, we'll get to know, and we don't have to wonder anymore.
[emotionally] I really d-- I thought it was gonna be like meeting strangers.
[sniffs] [exhales heavily] And... [sniffs] It's dif-- it's so...
It's so different.

Curtis: Okay.
Let's go!
Let's see what we got.
Hannah: Ugh, I have the hardest time opening this!
- You got it.
- Welcome to Spill & Fill.
Alex: Oh boy.
Dan: Day 4's challenge is Spill & Fill.
Voted as one of our fan favorites from season 4, teams must fill a tube with water.
To collect water, teams launch water balloons from an oversized slingshot to a bucket strapped on their teammate's head as well as a container in their hand.
Any water collected in the bucket gets dumped into the tube.
Once a teammate reaches the halfway mark, they switch places.
Fill the beaker to the top to complete this challenge.
♪ Hannah: It's really fun that they've brought back old challenges, and I thought this challenge was super fun.
- [screams] Goodness gracious!
Alex: I pull it back the first try, and... Keep goin'.
Right there, right there.

[laughs] There's no balloon.
So I basically popped that one on myself.
[thwip] Jamie: Oh my goodness.
Jansen: Oh my goodness.
- More up!
The wind's blowin', like, 60 miles an hour.
[thwap] [plop] It's gotta be in this zone!
C'mon!
Jansen: I don't know how hard to go with it!
Jamie: Okay, you're gonna launch balloons up, and they're gonna blow away.
I wasn't expecting that.
Jansen: It's like, either too far or too close!
I don't know how to get the in-between.
- Come on!
♪ [plop] ♪ Curtis: There you go.
[glass tinkling] Shawn: Ugh.
When I caught that first balloon, it knocked the container right out of my hand, which is doubly frustrating because after our first catch, we have to back up to the second line, and I still have no water.
Scott: I'm gonna get some more height on this.
Hannah: [gasps] [screams] I finally caught a water balloon in my handheld one.
Scott: It went in!
Hannah: That one was a lot easier, but not as much of the balloon could get into it, so it was kind of better with the bucket helmet.
Alex: Get that one!
[splat] Oh, yeah!
♪ [splat] [thwap] ♪ [splat] - Come dump some of it out.
Alex: Dump it, dump it, dump it!

Line me up.

Shawn: All right.
Scott: Aww.
Okay, let's go, let's go!
Go back out, go back out!
Hannah: It's not enough to get to the halfway point, so I have to run back and get a few more balloons.
Scott: Turn around, turn around.
Hannah: My handheld thing!
No!
Scott: Oh!
Go back, go back.
Go all the way back.
Hannah: Oh, come on!

Hannah: Uh, Dad!
- One more, one more!
Hannah: This is enough!
Scott: I-- Okay, come on.
Hannah: So, we finally make it to halfway.
We made it more than halfway.
We were almost full, so then it was Dad's turn, and he got to try.
Ugh.
Let's see how hard this actually is.
Dan: While Team Green is the only one that needs to finish their challenge, all the teams need to still finish their photo.
Curtis: Can we get a picture on the street?
- Yeah, I think we can.
- This is the-- - Dude, absolutely.
- Yeah, right down the middle of that.
So that's a part, looks like a parkway.
Alex: Yeah.
- Look at this guy walkin' down the road right here.
Maybe we can take a picture of him.
Jamie: Immediately as we're drivin' down the road... - Hey, man, excuse me!
Jamie: ...we find the best place to take a picture.
Jansen: You mind us takin' a picture of you?
Alex: We decided since we were in Baltimore that we wanted to get a little grittier side of the city.
Bro, c'mere.
With this overhead and with that curve ahead, it, that'd be perfect.
Scott: You're gonna do great, baby.
- Oh, got it!
Hannah: Yeah!
Dad only had to get a few inches of water.
- I definitely got a mulligan out of this one.
Hannah: Heck yeah!
We'll do one more.
One more.
- No, that's it!
Hannah: That's it?
- When I ran up and started pourin' in the handheld, we hit right at the mark, and it was like, all right, we're finished.
All right, come on, let's go!
Curtis: Okay, what'cha think?
Shawn: Being able to submit two pictures, uh, we're really hoping is actually gonna pan out well for us.
Curtis: I like that.
Shawn: That one?
All right.
[camera clicks] [whoosh] - Hey, look.
Not only is that a road, but there's a road that goes through the cemetery.
Okay, okay.
Hannah: We passed by a veterans' memorial, and we first noticed all the American flags lined up against the road.
- You want road?
You want American flags?
Right there, you see that?
Jamie: There you go.
I like it.
I-- [laughs] This is, this is a country road.

Cause that, it's gritty, it's dark.
Jaime: Yeah, yeah.
Yeah, yeah.
Alex: We got the shot that we needed.
Jaime: Edited it and sent it off.
- Uh, the wind has finally picked up, so the flags look really neat right now.
[shutter clicks] Scott: I think we got a fantastic photo, and we'll just wait and see what the fans say.
[Balthazar squawks] Alex: [laughing] He hit the chicken!
Dan: With photos and challenges complete.
Jaime: Good luck, here we go.
Dan: The race ramps up.
- Well that's about as peeled out as-- - [laughs] Yeah, I did.
Dan: As teams scramble to find their relative's address.
[honking] Shawn: 'Scuse me!

That individual couldn't help.

Jaime: This is One Way Driver Academy.
Yep, yep, yep.

He knows the neighborhood.
Alex: Okay, let's try it.
Scott: There's a chauffeur company.
Hannah: You saw it.
Scott: Yeah, it was a, uh, driver services company.
Right here on Pratt Street.
Is this the local map?
Alex: We were trying to find our relative's house, and since we messed up so royally yesterday, we decided to stop and ask for directions as soon as we could.
- Go!
- I'm goin'.
I don't know what the speed limit is.
- It's not 12.
Drivin' down the road, Jansen notices there's a cop over there behind us.
Jansen: Hey, sir, we were wantin' to know if you knew where, uh, 68 Karani Headquarters Road.
Jaime: We're looking for help with directions.
Alex: And it payed out in dividends.
- Okay.
Thank you, thank you very much.
Scott: The manager had a paper map on his wall.
And saw the location, and beep, bonk, boop, how to get here.
Paper map on the wall!
He showed me the directions right to it.
Hannah: Okay!
Come on!
Shawn: I think I might've found something on the map.
I think we make this left.
Jaime: Glasses on.
[laughs] Superpowers activate.
- 'Kay so, remember, left on Walnut, right on Pratt.
Jamie: Here, slow down.
Take a right.
Go right up there and see if that's Military Road.
