Team Exodus then heads to the Chicago Bears' facility to attempt to catch a thirty-five yard pass from an NFL all-pro quarterback (Task #16). They are able to arrange this task with Bears QB Chris Chandler, but are unable to complete it, since Stacey was unable to catch any of the three passes during her turn.
