- Prize: CA$10,000 and a trip for two to India (awarded to Kevin & Gurleen)
- Eliminated: Eva & Trystenne
- Locations

- Episode summary
- Teams set off from Oakes Garden Theatre in Niagara Falls, Ontario, and retrieved their first clue from their bags.
- In this season's first Roadblock, one team member had to rappel 180 feet alongside Horseshoe Falls, retrieve their next clue, and reunite with their partner.
- This season's first Detour was a choice between Game Time and Show Time. In Game Time, teams had to play marked arcade games and win 400 tickets in order to receive their next clue. In Show Time, teams had to memorize a script with facts about Niagara Falls and recite it to a group of tourists in order to receive their next clue.
- After the Detour, teams had to search outside the Nightmares Fear Factory for their next clue. There, teams had to brave the haunted house, memorize a colour combination, travel to the Illumination Tower, and light up Niagara Falls with their colours in order to receive their next clue. The Assist was hidden in one clue, found by Connor & John, and allowed them to skip the colour memorization.
- Teams then had to travel to the Pit Stop: The Tunnel at the Niagara Parks Power Station. Before teams could check in, they had to listen to facts about the power station while descending down an elevator and correctly answer a randomly selected question at the mat.
