Ace is rocking the tunes, singing long an looking at his phone while on the road. That’s a big no-no. His dad’s crown remains by his side.

Willie listens to message from the many creditors who want their money.

Jack is sleeping on the couch when Staci calls about a county meeting he was supposed to attend. He curses and jumps into action. She tells him it’s OK, but he knows he’s supposed to be at work, and he’s freaking out.

They also have a school meeting the next day, but he doesn’t see how he can swing it.

Staci tells her friend that Jack is always her guy. They’ve just got to find their way back to each other.

Willie calls Bill. If they’re going to work together, they need to make plans. She wonders why he’s whispering. It’s because he slept with Constance the fair commissioner, which is good since she hasn’t given them their fair commission yet.

Ace bolts to a rest stop bathroom to find it locked. The owner says he can’t use the bathroom unless he buys something. He’s upset that he bought four cokes fifty miles back but can’t relieve himself of them now. So he goes outside to piss in a grate, and the owner follows him, forcing him by baseball threat to wash it all away.

Bill and Constance say their goodbyes, and he’s got the check in hand.

Ace is listening to a radio program about life’s journey while reading a map for Dover Springs.

Bobby greets Crystal the next morning. She thanks him for being in her corner. She’s never had that before, and it’s dope.

Willie wants to know what’s next. She’s got nothing to promote. She needs a plan, even just a sliver of a gist. They’ve got to pack the house over and over and over. She wonders where Ace is, and Jack says he’ll go see him tonight. He heard the cheers; he knows they achieved greatness.

Jack leaves Ace a message. Tell him what he wants to do, and they’ll do it. Let’s build off of that greatness.

At the ring the next day, they boys are watching Gully’s video, wondering pretty much what he did.

Jack arrives and gives kudos to all, hoping Big Jim will make it official because he was incredible last night. He thanks Crystal for what she did and finishes the speech on Ace.

Ace could have taken the belt, but they shook hands in a bout of loyalty with Jack squandered. He deserves the blame, not Ace. It was Jack who put everyone’s hard work at risk, and he’s sorry.

Everything is great and Crystal is welcomed to the team officially, but then Jack invalidates the last match because of a technicality. She wants to fight for her belt in the ring, not relinquish it due to a technicality.

Jack reminds her that a week ago, she cried to Jack that she’d do anything for the DWL. So, she left something out? She would only do anything until she got the belt, not after?

Willie was listening and grabs Crystal to lay into her. Jack gave her a heap of praise and she stomps after him and whines? It takes 30 minutes in the ring to rise to the top of this craft, but she’s done relatively nothing.

Crystal stands her ground. Willie recognizes that Crystal has done a lot of work, but she’s got a lot more to do. Willie gives her a plan of attack and says if she fails, Crystal’s got no one but herself to blame.

Jack visits his mom, who tells him Ace left. Jack thinks maybe he went camping, but Carol says he took his X-box.

Ace stops at another place on the road to discover they only take cash, which he doesn’t have. A guy across the aisle offers to buy him a meal, but Ace says he ain’t lonely. The guy leaves a tip, and Ace takes it off the table. Outside, the girl accosts the other fella, and Ace overhears. He has to apologize, but the guy calls it like he sees it. Ace feels the world owes him a living. Ace takes the cash inside and puts it in the tip jar.

Crystal is practicing, and gets as far as 11 minutes and 44 seconds. She needs more practice.

Ace asks a store employee about the protection a raincoat will afford him, and the guy asks about bear spray and boots. Ace says he’ll be good hiking in a pair of soccer shoes, but the guy is both exasperated and worried for Ace.

Jack and Staci are at the school waiting for their appointment, and Jack fills in Staci about Ace. He never should have told him the truth. The district brings in a school psychologist, and the conversation is violence. She’s concerned about the proximity of wrestling to the family in that regard, and Jack wants more than a video.

He’d like to know why Thomas broke another fella’s arm. For example, when he was in fifth grade, Jack witnessed a kid pull down a little girl’s pants. Her brother then broke his nose and arm, and Dave learned something that day about bullying. And as a result, he turned into a pretty good guy.

Miraculously, they come through the meeting with Thomas reinstated, but Staci is beside herself afterward. They wanted them to acknowledge punching is wrong, and Jack went rogue about fighting words. Staci wants to listen to the what the social workers said about Thomas’s potential mental health issues.

She is ready to storm away but she stops. She just wants to hold his hand and walk through life together, but she can’t imagine anyone looking at them and thinking they have a good marriage.

Jack sees it as a threat to stay separated, but Staci isn’t familiar with this new way he’s been expressing his unhappiness and doesn’t like it. He’s going to stop asking her to come home because he hasn’t earned it. He disappeared the day his dad committed suicide. He thought was honoring his dad’s words to protect Ace, but clearly, he’s failing at everything.

He’s just a dude who’s trying, but all he’s doing instead if fucking everything up. He’s just a disaster. He has no clue what to do to find the man he was before, but he’ll figure it out.

Ace struts by the bring plenty of water and beware of bears signs in his soccer shoes. He has dirt in his shoes not to far in. Then he’s sporting his raincoat, overlooking the vista.

Jack tries finding Ace again, leaving an aggravated voice mail for him. He needs his brother by his side. He has to come back because he was born to wrestle.

Jack tells everyone that Ace is gone, and Jack is going to write around him. That means Crystal is on the card. Diego is like WTF? The moment they get some momentum.

Bill tells Jack he can’t be held accountable for not doing something right when he was never trained right in the first place. What he can do is write, and Bill’s got some good ideas he’d like to share. He’s got about 100 notebooks filled with ideas and wants to put his head together with Jack to get this shit going.

The DWL holds a press conference taking Crystal’s belt, firing the ref, and apologizing to Wild Bill for his intestinal distress. Bill was poisoned! He blames Bunny Bombshell, and there’s a new match called for Bill and Jack to take it to the ring for the belt.

Crystal throws herself into the melee, taking back her name and taunting Jack. Ace is watching it all from his tent, including the taunt that if he doesn’t return to fight for the belt, he’ll be knocked out of the running.

The night of the match, its standing room only. Willie is thrilled and wonders if Jack is sure about the ending. He gives her the thumbs up and calls Ace, giving him instructions should he arrive before it’s over. He needs his brother and will keep reaching out.

The crowd is chanting Ace’s name, and the audience is angry, but Eddie carries on, and Crystal suggests she’s the contestant to beat. The audience eats it up.

She gets in the ring and wins the title honestly. Everyone knows it’s an amazing success. Crystal gives Jack a huge hug after the match.

Jack looks at everyone’s happiness, but Jack still misses Ace. Ace, meanwhile, is listening to voicemail, overlooking a cliff. His soccer shoes give out, and he goes over the edge.

Ace is on a jutting edge of a cliff, very far below where he dropped. The only good news is his phone was on above, so maybe they’ll get a hit when they think to look for him.
