Steps of Knowledge
One of the most famous woodcutters of Old Persia was Ali Baba. Legend has it that one day, he was out cutting wood in the forest when he saw forty horsemen ride up to a cliff.
"Open Sesame!", said their leader, and a cliff base slid aside revealing a cave.
The horsemen rode in, and the cave door closed behind them. Ali Baba crept down to the cave and waited until they left.
"Open Sesame!", he shouted, and stepped inside.
Golden treasure was piled everywhere.
"These guys are thieves. I'm out of here!"
And he took a little golden stallion with him. Back home, he told his brother, Bobby Baba the story. Bobby went to the cave with five mules and loaded up, but he was so excited he forgot the password.
"Open Peanut?", he cried. "Open Sunflower? Open Canola?"
Nothing worked. When the 40 thieves returned, they did him in. The golden stallion stayed in Ali Baba's family for generations.

Forty Thieves' Gold (Trapeze Grid)[]
In the legend of Ali Baba, the thieves hid their gold in caves. In front of each player, there are nine caves. When Kirk gave the signal, one player from each team had to place a piece of gold between their feet, swing out, and drop the gold into one of the nine caves. Then, they will go back, grab another piece of gold and try again. The player to fill the most caves in 60 seconds won. Kendra and Jonathan tied with filling two caves awarding them both a half pendant of life.
Memory (Plugging Holes)[]
Alī Bābā's brother, Bobby Baba could not remember the password and he was trapped inside the cave. Olmec hoped the players' memory serves them a little better. Beside each player is the fountain of Ali Baba with nine holes from which water may spring at any time. In a moment, the water sprayed from the holes in a secret sequence (9, 2, 8, 5, 7, 6, 3, 1, 4). When Kirk gave the signal, each player had to place a marker in the first hole of that sequence. If they are right, nothing will happen. Otherwise, they will be squirted with Persian Water. Then, they will remove their stoppers and try again. The players with most correct guesses won. C.J. won the game and the half pendant of life after scoring seven points while Shannon score four points.
Hidden Gold (Cubbyhole Web)[]
Ali Baba found the secret hiding place of the Forty Thieves' gold. Beside each team stands a cave with several covered holes and a giant spider web in the center. Each of the holes contains a bag of gold. When Kirk gave the signal, the first player on each team had to scramble up the web to the opening, smash through the cover, grab the gold, and come back down to place it in the team bin. Then their partner will repeat the process. The higher the hole, the heavier the bag of gold inside. The team with the heaviest loot in 60 seconds won. The Orange Iguanas had the most gold, beating out the Silver Snakes, awarding them a full pendant of life, and sending them to Olmec's Temple in search of the golden stallion.

Temple Run
C.J. went into the temple first, moving at a fast pace. Starting off by heading down into The Ledges, and swiftly crawling through the cavern, C.J. proceeds to unlock the door lower crawl tube to enter The Pit of Despair. Deciding to stick to the lower level, C.J. walks across the pit and opens up the door to The Throne Room. Upon sitting on the throne, the first temple guard jumps out and captures C.J. (doing so before the door did a full rotation). After surrendering his pendant of life, C.J. decides to head up into The Heart Room. But C.J. ran into bad luck, as he was captured by the second temple guard, just as he was trying to open the door to The King's Storeroom. Thus, ending his journey within the temple with 2:16 left on the clock
The first encountered Temple Guard is seen emerging from the double doors in the back of the Throne Room.
However, both Kirk and Kendra didn't take notice at first that C.J. was taken out of the temple. And after three seconds, Kirk did take notice and quickly hurries Kendra into the temple. Moving at the same pace as C.J., she takes the same direct path that her partner took to get to where he left off. Though upon entering The Throne Room, Kendra ended up rotating the throne from behind. And despite multiple sound effects of doors opening played while the throne turned, no other door opened Kendra did try at first to head into The Swamp, but the door was locked. With no other choice, Kendra decides to head up into The Heart Room. But she soon discovers that the door to The King's Storeroom was locked, so she had to head up another level, and into The Observatory. But even after aligning the stone column, the door to The King's Storeroom did not open from there! This led Kendra to get really confused, as she spent a good chunk of time going back and forth from the slab that will take her to The King's Storeroom, and the one leading her back to The Pit of Despair. Eventually, Kendra heads back into The Pit of Despair and scales the wall climb to unlock the door to The Heart Room. Now realizing she was bamboozled by multiple dead ends; Kendra makes her way back down to The Throne Room. And upon stepping on the throne, the door to The Swamp finally opened and she heads into their next. (Revealing that a production error had happened, which prevented them from entering The Swamp earlier). Working her way through the murky swamp, Kendra enters The Dark Forest and was caught by the spirit of a temple guard within the tree on the left. After giving up her pendant, Kendra starts searching for the key, to which she was able to find it within the tree on the right. But even after trying it on the door that will take her up into The Shrine of the Silver Monkey, the door didn't open. And sadly, time ran out before Kendra could do anything else.
This is the first episode in Season 2 that features an artifact in the Shrine of the Silver Monkey. However, in the previous episode, the artifact was originally going to be in the Throne Room before the Temple Run was postponed and the artifact was moved to the Shrine instead.
This is the first episode with an untimed temple game.
After telling the Orange Iguanas what to do in the Throne Room, Olmec incorrectly said "and you could choose to go up into Medusa's Lair" (before that room even existed). Instead of the Heart Room.
This episode has the most noticeable delay between the frontrunner being taken out of the temple and the second runner entering. Kendra was delayed by Kirk's failure to notice that C.J. was taken out by about three seconds.
This was the only episode to feature a Temple Guard in the Season 2 Heart Room.
Kendra was the only player to use all three doors in the Pit of Despair.
This is the last Season 2 episode to air where a team of Orange Iguanas competed in the Temple Run.
In the legend, Olmec says that Ali Baba's brother's name is Bobby when it is really Cassim.
This is the first episode in the series to feature Skechers Footwear as an alternate prize plug.
