The Applewood Amulet of Emiliano Zapata is the 54th episode of Legends of the Hidden Temple. It was the 73rd episode to air. Moat Crossing One at a time, each contestant must hang from the rod from their hands and feet to shinny across the moat. The judges ruled that the Silver Snakes were sent back by mistake (the female member had just made it to the far end of the Moat, and was about to climb onto the deck, only to get sent back by their spotter, because her feet landed in the water as she tried to pull herself onto the deck), thus replacing the Blue Barracudas.
Steps of KnowledgeOf the many leaders of the Mexican Revolution, the greatest of all was Emiliano Zapata, sometimes called the "George Washington of Mexico." In the 1890s, when Zapata was a boy, a wealthy land owner came with his men and fenced off the village's orchard. "But señor," said Zapata's father in tears, "without our orchard, we will starve!" "Tough," said the landlord. "Don't cry, father!" said Emiliano. "I swear one day, I will get it back for you!" Twenty years later, he went out into the fields with eighty armed men. Zapata said, "Landlord, this land belongs to our village. From now on, the people of our village will farm it." Legend has it he cut a branch from an apple tree and whittled an amulet. "I swear on the soul of my father: I will not put this down until all of Méjico is free!" People from all over Mexico flocked to Zapata's side, and he helped build a new Mexican republic. When he died, the amulet disappeared.
Temple GamesThe Purple Parrots are Jason and Simone. The Green Monkeys are Olivia-Emma and Robert. ¡Tierra y Libertad! (Bungee)[]Emiliano Zapata's battle cry was "¡Tierra y Libertad!" (which translates to "Land and Liberty!"; or in this case, "Land and Freedom!"). Before Simone and Olivia-Emma were two boards, one with the word Tierra and the other with Libertad. When Kirk gave the signal, they had to run to the first board, grab the first piece of the word, and place it on the other board. Then, they had to run back and do it again. They also had to do the same with the next board. The player to completely spell out Zapata's battle cry or the player furthest along in 60 seconds won. Olivia-Emma completely spelled out "Tierra y Libertad" with 16 seconds of spare time, awarding her a half Pendant of Life. Simone only managed to spell out half of the battle cry. Church Bell of Freedom (Climbing Wall)[]Because of Emiliano Zapata, church bells all across Mexico rang with the sounds of freedom. When Kirk gave the signal, Jason and Robert had to find the bricks that created a hand-hold or foot-hold and pull themselves up the wall. Once at the top, they then had to grab the clapper and ring the church bell to ride back down. The player to land or the player furthest along in 60 seconds won. Jason made it back down with the clapper with thirteen seconds of spare time, awarding him a half Pendant of Life. Ride Like Emiliano Zapata (Spinning Horse)[]Zapata was a skilled horseman who led his troops into battle on horseback. Here, the teams had to remain on their horse as long as possible. Both players on each team were mounted on a mechanical horse, having to hold on tight as it started to spin when Kirk gave the signal. The team with more players on their horse in 60 seconds won. All four players stayed on when 60 seconds ended (as they apparently had a very tight grip and were afraid to fall off), awarding them a full pendant each, leading to a tie. Tiebreaker[] Olmec: "Is the capital of Mexico: Cancun--?" Olivia-Emma correctly answered "Mexico City", sending her and Robert to Olmec's Temple in search of the applewood amulet.
Temple RunThe Temple configuration in this particular episode was very simplistic—in fact, it was the easiest in all of Season 2. Nevertheless, the Green Monkeys made it exciting. Robert, who Kirk referred to as an "international intrigue spy," went into the temple first, moving at a quick pace. Choosing The Ledges as his starting point, he quickly crawled through the cavern and unlocks the lower crawl tube to enter into The Pit of Despair. In there, Robert decides to try and take the lower route, by heading to The Throne Room. However, the door did not open, so he instead decided to climb up into Medusa's Lair which luckily the door did open. Before heading in there, Robert does take notice of the other half of Olivia-Emma's pendant hanging on the actuator, but he doesn't alert her about it. With Olivia-Emma cheering him on, Robert then makes it inside Medusa's Lair where he met the first Temple Guard, who charges at Robert, and causing him to get startled in the process.
