What Bonnie had to say about the episode:

Original Air Date: August 11, 1997
Segment #1
Jake talks on the phone with someone about how much it sucks that they are all broke now. They decide to go to KFC with the remainder of their funds for dinner. While driving the Winnie up to the drive-through window, they hit the top of the roof with the Winnie by accident. The cops come and Oscar tries to talk their way out of it. Since Jake was the one driving, the cops ask to see his driver's licence. He can't seem to find his wallet which has the licence, but gives one of the cops his passport as identification. The cops check it out through their computer and everything's fine. The cop ends up being really nice and lets them go with a warning. Everyone is relieved.
The next morning the group drives off to the next mission to meet with someone from Cocamo Cabs. They meet Howard who tells them that for their next mission they will be driving bicycle cabs. They will get to collect 80% of what they make in cab fares.
Mission #5: Drive bicycle cabs
They each take a bike cab and drive around Key West trying to convince people to ride in their cabs. Everyone's finding out that it's harder than it looks to convince people to ride in the cabs. Vince says he's frustrated with the mission.
However, Oscar seems to be doing really well and gets a lot of people to take rides. After a night of cab riding, the group makes a total of $340 (after Howard takes his 20% cut.)
Mission #5 completed!
They all race back to the Winnie to look for the next clue for Mission #6. Erika is the first one back and sees the clue stuck to the door of the Winnie. It's a envelope with plane tickets and a calendar with their heads stuck on swimsuit models' bodies. Erika and Kalle start jumping up and down and screaming when she realizes from the tickets where they'll be going -- the Cayman Islands.
Segment #2
They group drives to the airport where they pick up the next clue. It's a computer disc that lists two options of where they can stay while they are on the island. They can either stay at the Treasure Island Hotel which is $150 a night, or they can stay at the Youth Hostel which is $21 a night. They opt for the hostel, even though they think it will be scary living quarters.
After their flight, a cabbie picks them up and drives them to the Prospect Youth Centre. The room they'll be staying in has a bunch of bunk beds.
The next morning, they get up at 6:45 a.m. and find out they will be driving in a jeep while on the Island. Erika drives and finds out that the steering wheel is on the other side of the vehicle.
They all get to the Treasure Island Hotel where they're supposed to meet Scott who will tell them about Mission #6. They meet him and find out he's a photographer. He tells them that their next mission will be to create and produce a swimsuit calendar.
Mission #6: Produce a swimsuit calendar
The best part of the mission is that if Scott likes the final product they will be paid a $1,500 advance on the royalties. Everyone's excited about that. Scott says they have to take the photos, FedEx them to a photo developer, choose 12 images and print the calendar for him to see.
They go to Scott's studio and try on swimsuits that are already there for them to choose. After they pick swimsuits, they leave Scott and head for the beach. They take photos of themselves in different situations, both sexy and funny. In one shot they convince a cute extra to carry Erika out of the water. In another inventive shot, they all get into the shower at the hostel with their swimsuits on.
Vince says on an aside that Jake is really liking Kalle. Jake says that Kalle looked hot in her swimsuit.
Segment #3
After they finish taking the photos, they FedEx the photos to the developers.
Vince says that Jake and Kalle might have a "thing" going on. Jake says he thinks he and Kalle have a kind of a relationship. Kalle says after dating her other boyfriend for so long, the last thing she wants right now is another relationship with anyone. Jake says he's frustrated that Kalle is leaving it with an open ending.
They get the photos back and try to decide which images are the best for the calendar. Vince doesn't seem to excited and plays with a stray dog while they all decide. Vince thinks he looks like a freak. Kalle doesn't understand why Vince thinks of himself that way.
They finally decide on 12 photos and go drop the photos off to a copiers to get a calendar made. While they do that, Vince wants to be dropped off so he can find a shelter for the stray dog that he found on the side of the rode. He thinks it might be sick and wants to get it some help. He carries the dog around until he finds the local Humane Society, where he drops off the dog. He's happy that the dog might get some medical attention and later get adopted.
They group then picks up the calendar from the copier place. They seem to be happy with the results, Now they have to see what Scott thinks of it.
They're all nervous about Scott's professional opinion about the calendar, but when he sees the results he's very surprised and happy with the photos. He gives them $1,500 for their work and tells them they did a nice job.
Mission #6 completed!
Oscar says they were proud of themselves.
They go to a dance club that night to celebrate.
End Segment
The youth hostel director tries to convince the group that their room is haunted. He tells them there's even a graveyard next door.

What MTV had to say about the episode:

406:HUNTERS AND GATHERERS
Previously: Skill, concentration, and determination are generously displayed as Kalle and Oscar battle for the opportunity to wing walk. Kalle lands the part and Oscar is endearingly relieved. Meanwhile: Vince, Jake and Erika perform like Top Guns as they take turns behind the wheel of a little red jet. Finally, Kalle straps on a BI-plane and eats some clouds at ten thousand feet. After safe landings, the Road Rulers huddle around a payphone waiting for their next clue to ring in. Hello? Go to COCOMO?
It's a gray, drizzling morning and we find Jake at a payphone complaining to his mommy that he and the cast are broke and food-free. As a solution to their empty tummies, Jake suggests a trip to KFC. Pulling in, Jake fails to notice the awning of the drive-thru is too low for Winnie clearance and - CRASH, BANG, BOOM! Kalle screams as Jake remodels the exterior of the restaurant. Another day, another few thousand dollars worth of damage. The cops let is slide and everyone eats to their heart's content.
The next morning, our cast drives to the tourist strip where they meet Howard. This bubbly chap explains MISSION FIVE: spend the evening operating Pedi CABS. After pounding the peddles for a few hours, the kids will get to keep 80% of their earnings, while Howie will pinch the measly 20%. The mission is exhausting, and the tourists seem intent on walking. But it's the golden hour for Oscar, as he flirts, cajoles and begs the tourists to allow him the chance to chauffeur their carcasses up and down the street. He kicks butt, earning more cash than anyone. All earnings are pooled, and our' cast is $340 richer. Now a dash to the Winnie where we find...
A clue. Cutouts of our cast's faces are glued onto the sexy bodies in a swimsuit calendar. Meet Scott Tyler... And wait, there are plane tickets too. Tickets to Grand Cayman Island! The girls scream their heads off. Pass the tanning butter.
Our luxury jet lands on balmy Grand Cayman Island and our cast is whisked by taxi to an unglamorous youth hostel. (Should have pumped those pedals a little harder. And maybe you'd be staying at the Hilton.) Tipping the muscle-meter is Marlon, the host of the hostel who escorts the cast to their jeep in-waiting. Now it's off to a nice hotel (don't forget to drive on the left, Erika), where the cast meet with photographer Scott Thompson. Scott explains MISSION SIX: produce a swimsuit calendar. If the finished product is anywhere close to Bay Watch quality, the cast will take home $1500! That could buy a lot of KFC.
At Scott's studio, the chicks try on some bikinis while Vince tries to get in the mood to pose. Scott drops the bomb: the photos must be turned in for processing in 24 hours. Get busy! Down at the waterfront, everyone takes pictures of everyone, hoping that some of the pictures will turn out. Then they dash to Fed Ex, and send those suckers out for developing.
That evening, Jake and Kalle duck out for a private stroll. Kalle reminds goo-goo-eyed Jake that she just got out of one relationship and doesn't want to get into another. Jake informs Kalle that they are already in a relationship; they sleep together every' night. Kalle is confused. Jake is frustrated. Is Kalle leading him on emotionally? Watch out girls and boys.
Bright and early the next morning, it's back to FedEx where the pictures are waiting. Vince seems to hate any picture that includes his face. (Hint: relax, Vince, you're gorgeous.) The cast manages to pick twelve photos (that's one for each month of the year, you bright young things) without getting into an argument. Now it's pedal to the metal over to the photocopy joint, where the photos are reproduced and bound into the semblance of a calendar. Bravo!
Back at the swank hotel, our cast presents the finished product to the Scott man. Guess what'? He loves the calendar! $1500 cash, mama! Now our cast can pig out every night! It's off to a disco dancing celebration at the local nightclub Kalle and Jake are dancing awfully close.
