Lee Eun-ji, Mimi, Lee Young-ji, and Ahn Yu-jin successfully completed their mission as secret agents.

In the 8th episode of tvN's 'Bbang Bbang Earth Arcade 3' (directed by Na Young-seok and Park Hyun-yong), which aired yesterday (13th), the crew members caught Torongi and Cheol-yong after a chase in Lisbon, Portugal. Ahn Yu-jin emerged as a standout figure in searching, reasoning, and pursuing.

First, a mini curling match between the crew members and the production team's youngest four caught attention. If the crew won, they would receive egg tarts and coffee, but if they lost, they had to perform a 'mouse detox' penalty, during which they could not speak on the way to the market.

The production team, naturally exhausted by the boisterous crew, sent biased cheers toward their own team, eliciting laughter. In the first round, the production team scored 1 point and took the lead, but in the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th rounds, the crew scored, widening the gap to 4 to 1. In the 5th round, the production team added another point; however, in the final round, Lee Young-ji pushed the production team's stone away and got closer to the center of the house, winning 5 to 2 and escaping the fear of the mouse detox.

Meanwhile, the crew, who were unable to freely pick souvenirs at the Nana souvenir shop, discovered traces of Torongi while exploring the flea market. On the display were Torongi's shirt, items that Cheol-yong had stolen from the crew, information that there was a hotel three minutes away, and items marked with the hotel's logo. Ahn Yu-jin quickly found the hotel through image search, while Lee Eun-ji, who was searching the hotel, captured Cheol-yong, who was monitoring 'Location A' on her laptop, heightening the intrigue.

Additionally, they learned that Torongi had planned to smuggle the egg tart recipe from 'Location A' after secretly trading it and intended to enter a department store after arriving in Korea. They narrowly missed Torongi at the National Pantheon, referred to as 'Location A,' but Ahn Yu-jin solved the puzzle that the location of the mysterious old man posted on social media was Comercio Square, stimulating viewers' dopamine.

Afterwards, the crew solved the nonsensical puzzle of the mysterious old man and received bus tickets from the Belém Tower. Arriving at Belém Tower with just five minutes left before the bus departure time, the crew chased after Torongi and Cheol-yong. Cheol-yong, who was running towards the crew to rescue Torongi, was caught by Lee Eun-ji, but the quick-witted Torongi evaded everyone and boarded the bus.

The race, which seemed like it would end as it was, was turned upside down by Ahn Yu-jin's appearance. Ahn Yu-jin boarded the bus right after Torongi, completing her mission just two minutes before departure and providing a thrilling rush. Lee Eun-ji, Mimi, Lee Young-ji, and Ahn Yu-jin, who achieved their capture target, were promised a payment of 1.3 million won each in line with the inflation rate.

Meanwhile, the evening game 'Everyday 4-letter word game' held at a Korean restaurant was accompanied by Na Young-seok, the determined PD, who made firm judgments. Among them, when Lee Young-ji discovered that the answer to the prompted word 'OoO' was 'OOTD,' she provoked PD Na Young-seok by asking if he knew the meaning of OOTD. She even declared that if PD Na guessed correctly, the digital detox would take place, eliciting intense reactions and laughter from the members and production team who had suffered from Lee Young-ji's lack of a cellphone.

In addition, the crew, who failed all rounds while pouring out a variety of incorrect answers, got to eat the kimchi stew they had most wanted through the final bonus round. The next story of the crew members, who successfully captured Torongi and Cheol-yong, will be aired on tvN's 'Bbang Bbang Earth Arcade 3' on the 20th (Friday) at 8:40 p.m.
