After recovering from her icy ordeal, Carmen travels to Botswana to bust up an illegal diamond mining operation.
- The Bad Guy Wins: Despite Team Carmen's and ACME's best efforts as a team, VILE gets away with their illegal diamond-mining operation, Tigress beats an injured Carmen in a fight, and Roundabout is made Shadowsan's replacement in VILE's faculty at the end of the mission. Really, the only way things could’ve gone better for them was if they were delivered Carmen Sandiego on a silver platter.
- Playing Sick: Chase Devineaux uses this trick to have days off he can use to locate Carmen and VILE.
- String Theory: Chase has a wall with pictures united by red yarn. He eventually notices a certain island must be VILE's headquarters because it's the only place not connected to anything else.
