At the poker table, Dad shocks everyone by folding a Queen-King-Ace—someone points out Q-K-A is the highest straight and would have beaten Mia's 8-9-10. Dad admits he didn't know an Ace can link, then awkwardly recites hand rankings. He keeps folding strong hands, frustrating the other players and a companion who urges him to stop. Impatient opponents raise the ante to $1,000 to force him into action. The episode ends with the stakes doubled and a rival declaring, 'I'll take all yours,' leaving Dad faced with a decisive, risky choice.
