An uncle teaches Dean sleight-of-hand and card switching, warning him never to gamble and reminding him what happened to Dean's father, but saying the trick can protect family in danger. Later at a high-stakes card table, tempers flare as one player is insulted and another admires a recent move: 'that was a cool move.' The dealer is then ordered, 'Deal him 3 aces.' The episode's key turn is the lesson becoming action — cheating is underway and the skill is now being used, leaving Dean on the spot as the hand is about to be dealt.
