At a casino a man presents a one-million cheque as collateral and tells staff they'll verify it. He admits he must lose all his money to reach Joey, so he makes massive blind bets and repeatedly goes all in. Casino personnel grow suspicious, accuse him of a fake cheque and try to detain him. He protests, asking, "Who said my cheque was fake?" but is grabbed. The floor boss orders him taken to the Rolling Room. The episode ends with him hauled away, his plan to reach Joey suddenly in jeopardy as the boss intervenes.
