As the challenge reaches the halfway point, the families reflect on their experience thus far and speculate on the road ahead.
James shakes things up by turning the tables on the 100-milers, insisting that the non-cooks get kitchen experience. Alex Weremchuk heads off for a lesson in spices from acclaimed Chef Vikram Vij, while Mike St. Cyr works hard to pull off a birthday dinner for his wife Angela. Reluctant cooks Alma Hawes and Alisa band together to make an elaborate dinner for Randy and James.
Elsewhere, the 100-milers go back to the land to get their meat. The Weremchuk Williams go trout fishing and have to catch and prepare the fish. The Clark Vernons turn their lamb Duncan into "Dunc-links" sausages, using herbs from Johanna Clark’s garden and bartered salt from Angela St. Cyr’s mother Ellen.
