Original Air Date: Sept. 8, 1997
Segment #1
At Trios Islets, the group celebrates completing Mission #11 by jumping off the boat into the water, by swinging off a rope like Tarzan. It's Oscar's turn, but instead of jumping off into the water, he runs into the side railing of the boat instead, by accident. He ends up injuring his foot, and one of the people onboard administering first aid jokes that his little toes should be amputated. Oscar does not find it amusing.
Later they go to St. Lucia and meet a couple named Cindy and Zane who tell them what their next mission will be. They tell the group how they met. Supposedly, Cindy worked in a coffeehouse and Zane would go there and drink a lot of coffee just to see her. After they met, she asked him out on a date, and the rest was history.
Mission #12 - Plan and orchestrate a wedding
The group has 48 hours to plan their wedding including where it will be, getting the band and registrar, dress fittings, catering, etc. They are given a budget and told to be somewhat conservative in their spending. Cindy and Zane tell them they want a Creole-style wedding.
If the wedding goes well and they like what the group has done, the gang will get to stay in a big suite at the hotel and also be paid.
After making a few phone calls around the area, they all go to a place called Bridal Paradise. Oscar, in the meantime, goes to the doctor to see about his foot which still hurts him from the accident.
At Bridal Paradise, Erika tries to describe the dress they want to make for Cindy.
Scenes of Oscar bonding in the waiting room with some reggae guy. The guy tells Oscar his peaceful outlook on life and sings reggae songs with him.
Back at Bridal Paradise, they find a woman to make a "knock-off" dress for Cindy for $160.
In the waiting room, the reggae guy tells Oscar he's in to see the doctor for a brain scan. Oscar laughs; he thinks the guy is joking. The reggae guy assures him that he's serious. He says he has a bullet in his head and shows Oscar the scar.
Next the gang goes on a search to find where the wedding should take place. First they go to a big barn, but next visit an outdoor area with a gazebo in a place called Pigeon Island. They choose Pigeon Island.
At the doctor's office, Oscar finds out from the x-ray that he also has two fractured toes. The doctor recommends he get a cast put on his foot. Oscar refuses. He says if he got a cast he might not be able to complete the missions ahead of him.
Segment #2
The group takes Zane and Cindy to their fitting. After that's done, the gang goes to the grocery store to get the food for the reception. They then go back to Pigeon Island and set up the tables and chairs. Kalle and Erika blow up balloons. Jake and Vince are nervous because the band and the registrar haven't shown up yet.
But then they all show up at once. Jake thinks the band looks too old and jokes that one of them might die during the ceremony.
Kalle says the couple looks exactly how she pictured they would. Erika says she was really happy for the both of them.
Cindy and Zane take their vows and kiss. The group takes lots of photos, pop the champagne bottles and toast to the newlyweds. They all dance and eat.
As they eat, Oscar says he could never picture himself getting married. Zane tells him that when that day comes he'll know it.
Cindy and Zane award the group their own suite in the Sandals hotel and some cash.
Mission 12 completed!
At the suite, they find out it's really a formal Island suite made to look like a house - with a swimming pool. They all jump into the pool with the champagne. Vince is nude as is Jake. The girls scream and laugh at them.
Afterwards, Kalle and Erika decide to take a shower together to wash off the pool chlorine. Jake jumps into the shower with them naked, and Vince opens the shower curtain to see everyone try to hide behind the curtain because the camera crew is there.
As they settle down, their next clue is delivered to the room. It's a chocolate cake shaped like a flaming volcano. They find out that their next mission will be to camp inside an active volcano.
Oscar says even with two broken bones in his foot, he doesn't care because he's so psyche about the next mission.
Segment #3
The next morning, they are awaken by the wake-up call at 7:30 am. They have to be back on Christian's boat at 8:15 am. Erika says they partied hard the night before.
As they are back on the boat, beautiful scenes are shown of the island from the boat.
Someone on a small water boar drives up next to them and gives them their next clue about the volcano mission. It's a computer disc with volcano warning information on it. They discover that they will have to leave the Road Rules flag in the crater of the volcano in order to complete the mission. But first they actually have to hike up to the top of the volcano. The group is worried about Oscar's foot and how much pain it will cause his during the hike. He says he can tough it out.
When they get on the island, they pay a guide to drive them up to the foot of the volcano. Along the way, they stop and someone gives them some bananas to eat for free. As they keep driving and eating the bananas, a small frog jumps out of Oscar's banana on to Erika. She screams at the top of her lungs. The rest of the group is laughing.
Mission 13 - Sleep in an Active Volcano
To hike up the volcano, the guide tells them they should all use a big stick to act as a third leg for when they're hiking.
Erika says it's the second largest volcano in the world.
Loose gravel makes Oscar and Erika lose their footing a couple of times, but they are both okay. Vince says he thinks Oscar is a real trooper for hiking with a hurt foot.
They all feel and hear a rumbling. It's the volcano.
Once they get to the top, they turn around and look at the view. It's magnificent!
Next they have to climb down a rope into the volcano, but it's a straight drop. Erika tells them all not to look down as they climb down.
