The Go Green Race moves on to the bustling city of San José, Costa Rica, where the racers must prove that green claims are actually true – because anyone can slap a label on something. Olivia heads to a vibrant market to track down real evidence of sustainability, but she quickly picks up an unwanted shadow who copies her every move.  Between a tongue-wagging rival, a scarlet macaw with sticky fingers and an overturned fruit cart, the market is anything but a break from the jungle. But just when Olivia finally starts making decisions for herself instead of reacting to everyone around her, one impulsive choice could change everything – and Ryan saw the whole thing.

The race swings to the Monteverde Cloud Forest in Costa Rica, where the racers must zipline in, tread lightly, and photograph three examples of how this rare ecosystem holds itself together – without leaving a single trace they were ever there. One wrong move and you're out on the spot, no second chances! Olivia is already rattled before the challenge even begins, thanks to a certain someone on the zipline platform, and when she decides to get even, the consequences ripple further than she ever expected. Friendships are tested, tempers flare and deep in the mist of the cloud forest, Ryan lets something slip that changes how Olivia sees him entirely. Some places have a way of making people get honest – whether they're ready to or not. If you're a kid who loves learning science and animal facts, you'll love Earth Rangers!

Just when Olivia thought her race was over, a cheating scandal turns everything upside down! The remaining racers head to Ranganathittu Bird Sanctuary in Mysore, India, where the challenge is all about feeding the birds – but only if you can figure out exactly what they eat and where they find it. With the animal shelter back home on the line and the finish line finally in sight, Olivia has never had more reason to get it right.

The race lands in India's Molai Forest – a forest planted single-handedly by one man over decades – for a plant-tracking challenge that takes a sharp turn when Hugo wanders straight into Bengal tiger territory. Olivia has to choose between her own race time and going after him, all while a mysterious shoe-swapping Ivy keeps popping up in places she shouldn't be able to reach.  And just when Olivia thinks her race might be over, news from back home makes winning matter more than ever before.

The race lands in Kenya's Loisaba Conservancy, where the stakes just got enormous – literally. With only 20 racers left and just 10 markers hidden across the savannah, half the field is about to go home. Olivia follows a herd of elephants across cracked, dry ground to track down her marker, while Ivy's mysterious field researcher advantage raises more questions than it answers.  The grand prize is finally revealed, and it's worth racing for. But is Olivia imagining things – or is something a little strange going on with Ivy? If you're a kid who loves learning science and animal facts, you'll love Earth Rangers!

Olivia arrives in Neustadt, Germany with chicken feathers in her hair and a lot of explaining to do. The Go Green Racers tackle a high-stakes recycling challenge inside a real sorting facility, where one wrong item can ruin an entire batch. And one distracted racer ends up trapped in a fenced compound with a very confused wild boar. And Ryan.  When Olivia and her least favourite rival find themselves cornered together, they're forced to ask a question neither saw coming: what if they've been assuming the worst about each other all along?

Olivia arrives in Amsterdam – a city built around outsmarting water – and discovers that sometimes the key to staying afloat is just going with the flow. Literally. When the racers tackle a series of floodgate checkpoints, Olivia loses her phone to a canal (thanks, Emma) but gains a new friend mid-panic attack Will her streak of accidental brilliance carry her to the finish line – or will the city that's spent 800 years holding back the sea finally teach her when to let go?

The Go Green Race rolls into Copenhagen – a city so obsessed with bikes it practically has wheels instead of sidewalks. The challenge: follow cycling routes through eco corridors, crack clues about Denmark's national bird and make it to a protected canal zone before a drawbridge cuts off the finish line. For good! There's just one problem. Olivia really does not want to get on a bike. Can she find her rhythm in time – and can a new ally, a very showboaty Ryan, and a tight deadline lead to one of the most dramatic finishes yet?

The Go Green Race lands in Iceland – land of ice, fire, and geysers that erupt whenever they feel like it. The racer’s next challenge: complete three geothermal energy tasks and get back in time to photograph a massive eruption. The trick is, nobody knows exactly when it'll blow. Can Olivia crack the clues, navigate a bubbling, sulphur-soaked volcanic landscape, and make it to the finish line before the Earth decides to explode?

The race lands in St. John's, Newfoundland – "The Rock" – where the Atlantic Ocean is the playing field for the next leg of the Go Green Race, and a storm is brewing. Each racer must decode a marine species riddle, pick the right habitat and get their marker before someone gets sent home. Olivia knows puffins and has loved them her whole life, so how does she end up in completely the wrong place?

The race lands on Ellesmere Island in Canada's High Arctic – and it is cold. Like, three-pairs-of-socks cold. The challenge: each racer has three hours to solve a glacier riddle and decide if it's fact or fiction. Get it wrong and you're going home. Olivia's snowmobile breaks down in the middle of nowhere, Ryan somehow stumbles onto the right answer for the wrong reasons, and the clock is not waiting for anyone. With elimination on the line, Olivia has to figure out what's actually happening to the world's glaciers – and fast. Featuring glacier science from Environment and Climate Change Canada!

The race heads to Cap Tourmente National Wildlife Area in Quebec, where the stakes just got real: at least one racer is going home today. Olivia must navigate a "choose your own path" adventure through a stunning wildlife area – solo, after the group splits up one by one. There are cryptic clues, a surprise moose encounter, endangered monarch butterflies, a very confusing bilingual trail marker, and a hill that nearly destroys her legs. Can Olivia trust her instincts – and her so-so French – to get to the finish line first? If you're a kid who loves learning science and animal facts, you'll love Earth Rangers!
