## Story

Nick Aldis is in the locker room and asks if they are ready to start but then realises they are waiting for someone. The camera pans to SoCal Uncensored who say that they are all on time, and in fact Christopher Daniels was a minute early. Flip Gordon says that he wasn't even meant to be here and he is still on time. Nick says that the building is due to close soon and Matt looks at his phone and says "He is 12 minutes late." Cody also has his phone out and says that is is now 14 minutes. Adam Page says that he knocked on the person's door but that they flipped Page off. Suddenly the door bursts open and Marty Scurll breathlessly runs in and asks what is going on? The cast reply that they are waiting to start the BTE episode but Marty says that he thought the show got cancelled. Cody sasy that it is Marty that will be cancelled as everyone laughs and the opening titles run.

On September 2nd SoCal Uncensored are eating burgers outside a In-N-Out Burger in Baldwin Park, California. They toast the success of *All In* and Frankie Kazarian offers Daniels some fries but Daniels declines saying that he needs to watch his weight these days and will stick to his salad. Scorpio Sky is about to say something when he is interrupted by Arthur and Trevor. Arthur says that Sky is going to talk about how great the burgers are and how great it is to be back in southern California but Arthur thinks their group is shit. Trevor says that SoCal Uncensored are quite successful, southern California is OK despite the mild weather, and In-N-Out Burgers are among the best he has eaten. Frankie gets angry and calls the pair assholes and ask what they ar doing there. SoCal thought they wouldn't see them again after Marty broke Arthur and Trevor's fingers and tell them to leave SoCal alone. Arthur says they are here because they got jobs in the restaurant and Arthur put his balls on Kazarian's burger and his dick in Sky's drink. Frankie and Scorpio spit their food out and run off leaving CD annoyed that they are finally in souther California and they can't celebrate. He asks if Arthur and Trevor did anything to the fries and when they don't reply begins stuffing handfulls into his mouth.

Matt and Nick are backstage at a show. They talk about having had two weeks off following *All In*. They are still tired though as they talk about their travel. Matt says that during the break he cut his sideburns and had lazer eye surgery so he doesn't need glasses now. Footage of the surgery and Matt in the recovery room follows. Back in Rome they show some artwork that a fan has brought to the meet and greet before their show.

Cut to the view from Matt's hotel room in Las Vegas, which overlooks a parking lot. He has Dana Massie with him and says that this is the hotel where he proposed to Dana. Matt starts to talk about their upcoming match but hears a ticking clock. He looks confused as he wraps up.

At the venue Nick face-times his kids as he looks round the arena. Matt and Nick meet up with Cody and say it is the first time they have been together since *All In*. Cody say they have the *All In* blues after the highs of the event. They talk about how great *All In* was and how it was the best show of their lives. They talk about the whole weekend and the convention which helped to set everything off. Cody says that the convention team had hired him a security guard and he thought it was because he was special but later realised that he was so grumpy the team were worried he might damage something. They talk about their future plans and say that their deals are up in a few months and they don't really know what is coming next. Cody says they have a few hours before the show so heads off to a casino so that he can go *Double or Nothing*.

Adam Page is in the locker room as Matt and Nick come in. They ask how Hangman is as the last time they had seen him, he was being taken away by penis-druids. Page says that he is much better and it is a weight off his mind as he had thought that he had murdered Joey Ryan. Matt and Nick say that everyone thought Page had done it. Page is shocked but Matt says it doesn't matter as they have killed other people on the show and they just repent and it is fine. Nick has a package and hands it to Page before The Bucks leave. It is a pair of cowboy boots with a note saying that if he wants to be an assassin then Page should be more cerebral, and the note is signed H.

Matt and Nick are in th airport in Las Vegas waiting for their flight and as they run down their travel plans Matt hears a ticking clock again. He looks confused as he tries to find the source of the ticking.

Footage of their next show follows. When they get backstage Matt is having to be helped to walk as he has injured his back. The other wrestlers are concerned and help him to see the medical team.

Kenny Omega is frantically looking for the rest of the cast as he hasn't been on BTE for a month. He goes into a TGI Fridays and searches for the others. He eventaully finds the cast at a table out back and they all celebrate.

It is now October 1st in Rancho Cucamonga. Matt is at home putting ice-packs in the freezer to help with his back. He hears the ticking sound again. He can't locate the source of the noise but eventually pulls out his phone and finds a countdown timer running. Matt looks concerned as the episdoe fades to black.

## Notes

* The opening segment is a reference to Marty Scurll's match at *All In* which overran meaning that they had to cut subsequent matches short.
* Arthur and Trevor are played by Frankie Kazarian and Christopher Daniels so here are arguing with themselves.
* Cody's once again refers to *Double or Nothing* which would eventually be announced as the follow up show to *All In*.
* The ticking that Matt hears is a countdown to the expiration of most of the cast's contracts with Ring of Honor and New Japan Pro Wrestling.
* This is the first time The Young Bucks' homes have been stated as being in Rancho Cucamonga.
