Show Time is the fifth episode of Cars on the Road. It was released on September 8, 2022, where it aired exclusively on Disney+.
Synopsis[]
A traveling circus exposes Lightning’s fear of clowns and his new friend Ivy’s unexpected talents.
Story[]
McQueen, Mater, and Ivy stop by a car wash where the latter finally cleans herself, revealing a sparkling aquamarine design. The three continue on down the road and spot the Circus Velocitas. Ivy and Mater are taken in by the sights and sounds while McQueen is revealed to be deftly afraid of clowns. Upon being surrounded by them, they are forced into their seats, where the lack of cars implies that they are in dire straights, and watch them perform. Once again, Ivy and Mater enjoy themselves while McQueen trembles in fear.
The hosts call upon a volunteer and, despite Mater suggesting McQueen, Ivy is chosen for a performance. She tells the owners that she has her own idea and has the cars line up. Mater and McQueen are worried that she will smash into them, but to their surprise and awe, Ivy begins to dance and circle around the clown cars. McQueen congratulates Ivy on the performance and she reveals that the circus has asked her to join them. McQueen admits that it is probably for the best and he and Mater bid her goodbye, though promise to meet her again someday.
As they leave, Mater suggests that after the wedding, they can come by the circus again to see how Ivy is doing, though McQueen is still reluctant to see the clowns again. Ivy enjoys her newfound life with the circus.
