Dan: Previously on Relative Race.

- That is your dad.

Dan: JD saw a picture of his father for the very first time.

- I can see some resemblance.

Dan: Raymond learned who his grandfather was.

- This is crazy to see this history.

Dan: Anitra met her long lost sister, Kim.

And learned that their mother passed away at a very young age.

- I was hoping to meet our mom and tell her thank you.

Now I can't tell her.

Dan: Team Blue took first place, helping them today with written directions to their relative's house.

And Team Red came one strike closer to elimination.

- You have picked up your second strike.

Following their own DNA, four teams are racing... - It's on.

Dan: And to find their family.

[knocking] ♪ Dan: It's day six of Relative Race, the official halfway point.

Only five days remain to find family and win $50,000.

Team Red is now one strike away from going home.

- I don't take losing well at all.

So we gotta step our game up like now, today.

Dan: The three other teams all have one strike, but that could all change tonight.

- There are no advantages in Relative Race.

DeShae: There's no way I can go home, not when I'm this close to discovering who my parents are.

Anitra: We have to ramp it up these last five days, I have to meet everyone in my family.

♪ Dan: In Natchitoches, Louisiana, Chris is getting the morning started with his cousin, Becky.

And a little breakfast.

Chris: Good morning, it's the morning of day six, and I'm here with my cousin Becky.

- Hi!

- So excited, we've been catching up, been making breakfast, got all kinds of good stuff going on.

Just uh, wanted to let everybody know that we're still having a great time, we're ready for the day.

And uh, with this wonderful breakfast, it'll be a good way to start.

- Go green.

- We'll see you next time, go green!

- Team Green!

Dan: After breakfast, Chris's cousin Becky, who, like DeShae, was also adopted, wanted to give her a special gift.

- I'm so excited for you guys and your journey, and um, I got you a little something to remember this day.

- Oh, for me?

- Yes!

- Wow!

- Hope you're very excited.

- Aw... - Oh, wow.

- That is beautiful.

Becky: You have to read this.

That's awesome, it says, "Wherever life takes us we go together."

- Yep.

DeShae: Thank you so much.

It kinda symbolizes that we're all in this together.

It was just really special because Becky and I are searching for, you know, the same answers, and so this is something that I will wear on this journey and beyond and I will look forward to connecting with her afterwards so that we can maybe help her find some more answers.

Whatever it is that Dan was talking about last night.

- I almost forgot to tell you, that tomorrow, I have a little something extra for you in your cars.

Paul: We're curious to learn what this mystery is in our car, hopefully it'll be something that can help us and not one of Dan's jokes.

[laughs] DeShae: Go, go, go.

I definitely don't wanna use that.

- Well, we're not gonna get eliminated, so.

[laughing] - Maybe another team will need that.

Let's go.

JD: ♪ On the road again.

♪ - Boring.

Dan: All four teams are on the road, searching for their next family member.

Team Blue, Paul and Anitra, are departing from Rock Hill, South Carolina and heading towards Davidson, North Carolina.

With an alotted time of one hour and 28 minutes.

Team Red, Raymond and Nicole, make their way from Winston-Salem, North Carolina, to York, South Carolina.

With an alotted time of two hours and 36 minutes.

Team Green, Chris and DeShae, are travelling from Natchitoches, Louisiana to Bedford, Texas.

Their allotted time for the day is four hours and 38 minutes.

And Team Black, JD and Jenn, make their way from Grand Junction, Colorado to American Fork, Utah, with an allotted time of three hours and 18 minutes.

All of our teams are racing to find new family.

With no help from smartphones or GPS, they must find the city, complete a challenge, and find their relative's address.

The team that goes over their allotted time the most will receive a strike.

Heading into their home state of Utah, Team Black has a home court advantage.

Sort of.

- Be back home.

Even though we live in Utah, I'm not familiar with the streets in American Fork, so we decided to pull over and get a map.

Right off the freeway there's a really nice gas-station.

Dan: As Team Black searches for a map in their home state, DeShae on Team Green is narrowing down the five individuals that could possibly be her mother or father.

- So at this point I still really don't know how I'm connected to the Love family, I just know that I am.

I only know my biological mother's name from my hospital bracelet that I have.

Chris: It's Debora.

DeShae: It's Debora.

On day one of this journey, I got a list of people that could be my possible parent from my cousins Tory and Jazzmyn, and on day three, I ruled out Uncle David.

On day four I ruled out Uncle Gary.

So now we're down to three names.

Really, Ricky, who has passed away is either my father or uncle, we're not sure.

I'm not sure.

Nobody really said a whole lot about Mike yet, so that's a big question mark, and then of course there's Debby which seems like the easy answer, but it could be.

Raymond: Oh my goodness, this is an oil rig backing up.

- Oh, sir this is what you're not gonna do, hold us up.

- So we're on a two-lane road, and we have somebody filling up a swimming pool with a water tanker.

I mean, come on.

Nicole: Just back it in.

Anitra: I hate traffic.

Paul: Yeah.

Must be some road work going on or something.

[JD groans] Jenn: What?

Let's go.

JD: Highway 6 is closed.

Jenn: What?

JD.

Is Highway 6 really closed?

- Yes.

- Why is it closed?

- Uh... - There was an accident.

- At least we're movin'.

Anitra: [humming] Paul: [sighing] I really hope this traffic starts to clear up.

Jenn: I'm so... seriously, so sad.

Nicole: It's going to be a sign that says, "Welcome to York."

- Highway 6 would have saved us an incredible amount of time, but now we're just doing the very best we can.

♪ Dan: Six days into a ten day road trip, and all of the teams are feeling the need to laugh at themselves in the car.

- I'm so excited.

- How are you?

- I'm good.

- Are you?

Yay, I'm so happy.

And you're Chris?

DeShae: And this is Chris.

- I'm so glad you're here.

- Glad to be here.

I have some other people for you to meet.

DeShae: Then she brought out more family, and I've learned that that's kind of a trend with the Love family.

They just keep on coming, and I am just happy to meet all of them.

- This is my daughter Melissa.

- Hey, Melissa!

So I got to meet two first cousins, Steven and Melissa, and then more of the family came out.

It was just really awesome.

Pam: And this is my husband, MR. - Good to meet you, MR. DeShae: Good to meet you.

Chris: Hi there.

- Hi, Chris, how are you?

- Good to meet you.

DeShae: Honestly, a big weight was lifted off my shoulders, because at least I knew one way or the other, and I felt like I could breathe easy and I was just ready to get to know her and the rest of the family and have a good day.

- Oh, my goodness gracious.

Dan: As the teams settle in after their sixth day of racing and meeting new family, Anitra, on Team Blue, has a question that's been weighing on her mind.

- Did you know anything about my birth and adoption or anything like that?

- This is what I understand.

You were born at home.

And she already had Kim.

- Right.

- She felt like she and Andrea were not able to take care of two.

- Right.

- And I know that she said, I called 9-1-1, Omega, and the baby was okay when the baby left.

And so that's all I know.

- Okay.

- I wish I knew more, but I don't.

Anitra: It made complete sense.

My mother was 17 years old and had two children within the same year.

This had to be an impossible decision for her to make, but a necessary one.

Omega: I am so sorry that you will not get to meet her in person.

Would you at this moment think about traveling to her gravesite?

Would you want to do that?

- [sighs] Sure.

- Sure?

- Yeah.

Omega: Okay.

But, let's see.

I got grandmother's name, grandfather's name, mother, cousin, so.

I'm just kind of baffled as to who I would add next to it.

- Okay.

Well, I think I have two names for you.

Actually great-grandmother and great-grandfather.

So William Moore and Selena Pettifore.

And I actually have the census for William.

So here, the third name down.

Isn't this amazing?

This is 1920.

- Wow.

- 1920 and 1930 census report.

So someone's taken this all by hand.

Ray: This is amazing.

They showed pretty much a family tree, just not as modern, right, as it is now.

But it was the family tree of who is related to, um, my great-grandfather William Moore.

And it's never gonna stop blowing my mind to see how the census records were cared for and just see the entire family lineage built from today all the way back into the early 1900s.

It's-- it's amazing.

So today, I get to add to my family tree, my great-grandmother and great-grandfather on my grandfather's side.

Is that Paula?

Who's that?

Tathia shows me this photo, and I've met pretty much everybody that's in the photo except for my brother, Lamonte.

He jumped out right at my wife as soon as she saw him.

I didn't recognize him, but, initially, but when I saw the picture, I was like, yep, that's the one person that I haven't met in that whole photo that I really, you know, anticipate meeting and look forward to meeting.

- No, don't giddyup.

No giddyup.

Debbie: No good.

DeShae: As many times as Chris and I have been to Texas, we've never been to the Stockyards.

Chris: We had a great time just kind of chatting and learning more about each other.

- When I got the first, the very first phone call about you, I couldn't even imagine.

And to think that you'd been out there all this time and we didn't know about you.

And we're so happy.

The anticipation for our whole family has just been over the top excitement and looking so forward to meeting you guys.

Oh, no!

- Do you know anything about my father?

Glenn: As he was growing up, he got a job with a, with a truck service company, and upon changing a big truck tire with a locking ring, they aired it up, this was common, and as it was aired up, it blew up, blew the ring off, and really hurt him bad.

And it could have killed him, but he, you know, he was injured but came through it after, you know, a certain procedure.

JD: I'm a very tough, resilient guy in my own life.

I learned today that my father Steven was very much the same way.

I think I got a lot of that from him.

- Well, thank you.

- It's quite all right.

- And this is your grandma Emma's funeral services.

- I was able to see a picture of Steven's mother, my grandmother Emma today.

And I feel a real connection to her.

I'm excited to learn more about what an incredible woman she was.

I feel a certain draw to your sister.

♪ DeShae: I came on this journey to meet my biological parents, and meeting Aunt Debbie today, I know that my mom and dad are still out there.

So I'm hoping that Aunt Debbie has some answers for me about my father.

So I've learned something new every single day that I have met family members.

But I've been trying to figure out how I'm connected to the Love family, so having met you today, I now know that I'm connected to you guys on my father's side.

So do you happen to know who my father is?

Debbie: Because you know that there's Mike and there's Rick, and you know we lost Rick last year.

That was hard, but what a character.

What a character!

- That's what I've heard.

- Oh, yes, yes.

- Yep.

- He was quite the character.

But my money was on Rick.

Because last year, we met two of his children that we had never met before.

And they were in their mid 40s.

- Right.

- Super great people.

DeShae: I think that everyone leans towards assuming it would be Rick, but until I get that concrete information, I'm just kind of still guessing.

But I am relieved to know that I'm connected to them on my father's side, so at least that is still another piece of the puzzle that I've been looking for from the beginning.

- Even so, you still have a lot of people in the Love family who love you very much already.

- I'm excited to meet everybody else.

- And we're super, super glad.

- Yes.

Debbie: To know about you.

- Yes, I'm happy to have met all of you guys.

- I know.

- It's great.

It was like she's been in our family forever.

I mean, it's like a piece that was lost has been found, just like she was meant to be here.

No one really knows how we're gonna feel in this moment, but I want her to know that I'm with her always.

♪ Anitra: I immediately feel calm.

There's this undeniable connection to her, and in this moment, all I want is to communicate with her.

I want to tell her thank you.

Thank you for making this incredibly difficult decision at an incredibly young age to let me go.

That decision really saved my life.

I have an incredible family, I have a beautiful daughter, I have a wonderful husband, I've had a wonderful life, and all of that is because of that choice you made.

Once I felt that sense of peace of things resolving, then I felt like I could put those flowers down.

♪ ♪ ♪ Dan: As day six comes to a close, all of our teams are feeling the pressure of possibly receiving a strike.

DeShae: Really, it could be anybody's game right now, and the race changes daily.

- This is a very important one, because there is immunity on the line.

Dan: Having acquired two strikes already, Team Red is hoping they won't be sent home.

Really, it's that close?

Ray: We did everything we could, so now we just got our fingers crossed.

Jenn: Today was rough.

JD: Getting a strike will be hard, but if it means that Team Red and Ray can stay in the race a little longer and meet every single person he has intended to, I'm okay with it.

♪ Dan: Welcome to all four teams, and congratulations to making it to day six of Relative Race.

And this day was very different for one big reason.

You all knew that whoever finished in first place today was going to pick up immunity.

First of all, Team Red, what did that mean for the two of you as you got up and out and on the road?

- We wanted to be, um, prepared, stick with our plan, not deviate, and know that what we planned out was the right thing.

Dan: Today's challenge was Flix n Pix, a combination of movie titles and emojis.

I think it was probably fun, but yet a little futile for JD.

I take it you're not a huge movie fan and you probably don't use a lot of emojis.

- Never used an emoji in my life, Dan.

I had no idea what was coming up on the screen.

First of all, I don't even know why you would send stuff like that to another adult person.

[laughing] Dan: I saw the times for the three teams, Red, Blue, and Green, and you guys did very well.

Team Red, you get your relative's address, and then, it all started to fall apart.

- Nobody knows anything.

What I do know is that when they see the red shirts coming, everybody gets amnesia everywhere we go.

And it's like they all get together and say, let's get 'em.

Dan: Well, you're not the only ones that had a tough time after the challenge.

Team Black, can you please explain to us why a pickup truck had to take you to your relative?

Jenn: There has been so much rain.

- Rain on rain on rain on rain.

- And we are up a canyon, actually.

- It's a beautiful canyon, but the roads are like driving in peanut butter.

- So we needed to, our drive had to be finished by one of our relatives.

Dan: All right.

Well, it's called Relative Race.

And there's a reason why the relative comes first, because that is the most important thing.

Team Green, DeShae, you started this journey hoping to find the most important parts of your biological family.

Was another piece to the puzzle put in place today for you?

DeShae: It was, Dan.

From day one, I've gotten the names of biological family, and I've been slowly narrowing it down, process of elimination style, on who's my aunt or uncle versus dad or mother.

And today, I did find out that I am related to the Love family on my father's side, because today, I met my aunt, Debbie.

♪ - Hi there.

Dan: Oh, hi!

Wow.

Look at that resemblance.

- And also there's more surprises, 'cause I met her husband, MR, and two first cousins, Steven and Melissa, and their family, so we have had a very exciting and awesome day.

So still a lot of questions about my biological parents, but I do feel like I'm getting closer every day.

- Oh, that is fantastic.

Tough day for Team Red, but Raymond, I've asked you before and I'll ask you again.

Was it worth it?

Who did you meet?

- Two part answer: It absolutely was worth it, and I met my first cousin Tathia.

Say hello to my cousin.

- Hello.

Dan: Tathia, it's so nice to meet you.

You're beautiful.

- Thank you.

Nice meeting you as well.

- JD, Jenn, tough day.

Car accidents, road closures.

You had to get a pickup truck to take you in to meet your relative.

Who's that relative?

- On this journey, I found out that I had a grandma Emma, and today I got to meet her brother, my great uncle, and his daughter, Pam.

And... Jenn: And a lot more family.

JD: And a lot more family, but meeting him was like meeting my grandmother, and he is a slice of heaven here on earth.

I'm gonna introduce you to them now.

- Hi, Dan.

Dan: Oh, you guys are awesome!

You can sure see the family resemblance there passed down through the genes.

Anitra, another big smile.

- Yes!

Dan: Does that mean another big relative?

- Absolutely.

I had the opportunity to meet my great aunt Omega.

- Oh, hi!

Dan: Oh, hi!

- Hi!

Dan: Was she able to answer any questions that you had, Anitra?

- There were so many answers to what happened surrounding my mother's death to how I was brought into the world.

I was born at home, which was something that I didn't know.

Yeah, a lot of great answers today.

Dan: I hope that for each of you, after you meet your relative, you really look forward to spending additional time with them.

And today, for you, Anitra, that additional time was very poignant.

- So I had the opportunity to visit my mother's gravesite today.

And...

I was able to tell her... To tell her thank you for making such a hard decision at 17, one that I know I couldn't have made.

But also for giving me an opportunity for a better life, to be adopted by an awesome family, a great family.

And although it wasn't physical, I do believe that spiritually, I was able to communicate that to her today.

Dan: I think your mother heard you.

And most importantly, you now know where she rests.

And that is something that only those who are searching for their parents can understand.

And we are so grateful that you had that opportunity today.

♪ Team Red, you have two strikes.

A third one today means you're gonna be mighty grateful that you have that golden relative ticket.

Team Green, Team Black, and Team Blue, each of you has one strike.

Whoever finishes in first place today wins immunity tomorrow.

The team that does not have to worry about a clock tomorrow, because they clocked in only two minutes over their allotted time...

Team Blue, that's back-to-back wins.

It's a good thing you had step-by-step directions to your relative's house.

Remember, that's what you won yesterday.

Without that, you wouldn't have had the win today.

I can tell you that the team that finished in second place was only two minutes behind Team Blue.

- Wow.

- That's fast.

Dan: And that's Team Green.

- Whoo!

Dan: Congratulations, Team Green.

You finished in second place.

Finishing in third place, 32 minutes over their allotted time, you can keep that golden ticket, because Team Red, you finished in third.

Team Black, you finished 35 minutes over your allotted time, and you have picked up your second strike on Relative Race.

JD and Jenn, you are one strike away from having to use your golden ticket.

Remember that tomorrow, and for all of you, remember that tomorrow ultimately brings you one step closer to another relative, and that's what this race is all about.

Good night, and good luck, on day seven of Relative Race.

- Congrats, Blue, happy for you guys.

- Bye.

- Love you.

Two minutes, man!

- Two minutes.

- And they had turn-by-turn directions.

- Well, thank you both.

- Thank you.

JD: It means a lot.

It's life-changing.

- [sighs] Two minutes.

[sighs] [sighs] - Well... - Not surprising.

- No.

And if it was between us and Team Red... - I would, right, yeah.

- I'm glad we took the strike and not them.

- I don't want to see them go home yet.

- They can't go yet.

- Immunity is a gift.

Paul: It is.

- This is a chance for us to refresh.

Paul: Right.

- I don't know.

I don't know how to play it.

- Have to think about it.

- That young lady had to visit her mom's grave today, man.

That's bigger than the race, man, and I'm sitting here worried about people saying they can't find a place and I don't know directions and this woman had to visit her mom in the ground, man.

I'm sorry for having this all wrong.
