Polly is pressured at a smoky card table to deal so the group can "trick this fool." The game begins and Dean bets without looking at his card, saying it's "just a game" and he might get lucky. Jeff protests when others clearly peek at Dean’s card. Dean calls out the hidden-card cheat and demands they double the wager. The players admit they almost broke the rules and thank him for catching it. Stakes are raised but the hand ends unresolved as everyone wonders, "Is he really dumb, or is he pretending?"
