At the first settlement time with headquarters, a tense standoff ignited between KKPP Food and the headquarters. In particular, when the cash receipt for the monkey mask handwritten by Kim Woo Bin faced processing impossibility, Lee Kwang Soo suggested giving it as a gift to the finance officer, while Kim Woo Bin tried to appeal the savings from bargaining over the price to negotiate, but failed. In the end the two sulked, producing a chaotic confrontation between KKPP Food and the headquarters that delivered amusement.
Meanwhile, the exploration team enjoyed Mexico with taco restaurants, the Zocalo square, the Metropolitan Cathedral, a hot-air balloon and a pyramid tour. In the taco journey led by the "taco-obsessed" Doh Kyung Soo, attention focused on whether they would find the life-changing taco at a famous tripe taco shop they had been seeking. After tasting the long-awaited tripe taco, Doh Kyung Soo said "this is a taco" and expressed relief, and Kim Woo Bin, who normally does not like tripe, also launched into a voracious eating show, with the three finishing a total of nine tacos.
On the hot-air balloon tour, where the exploration team spent a large expenditure, Kim Woo Bin and Doh Kyung Soo quickly adapted to the height, while Lee Kwang Soo sat down in the basket and showed no intention of standing, creating contrasting moments that drew attention. Lee Kwang Soo became sensitive to the staff's movements, complained of his ears feeling blocked and even imagined the worst-case scenario. He then said, "If the (hot-air balloon) captain tells us to hand over everything he has, will he really pull everything out up to here?" suggesting a sense of fear.
Meanwhile, at the ruins the pyramids allowed visitors to film with cell phones personally, but professional camera equipment was not allowed, so Lee Kwang Soo took charge of filming the ruins and Kim Woo Bin handled the portrait shots, also acting as camera director. With the guide's explanations, learning the history and meaning enhanced the pleasure of capturing the mysterious appearance of the pyramids.
An interview was conducted immediately after the pyramid tour, and in the meantime Lee Kwang Soo, who had forgotten the pyramid information, enlisted Doh Kyung Soo's help when someone said the headquarters representative would be disappointed, saying, "I can't organize it right away." Doh Kyung Soo, as if assuming Lee Kwang Soo wouldn't remember, tested him by asking the amount of stone used to build the pyramid, and Lee Kwang Soo confidently said, "2.5 million tons. 2.5 million tons, right, no," showing an uncomfortable expression while repeatedly offering gestures of gratitude, which elicited laughter.
