## Synopsis

Sally begins teaching her acting class. Gene is unsure of the article. Barry's deal gets underway. Hank's past confronts him.

## Plot

As their crew is ecstatic over the arrival of the imported sand, NoHo Hank and Cristobal meet with El Toro who has agreed to send hitmen to kill Barry, specifically two brothers named Nestor and Chuy Flores who host for a well-known gadget review podcast, though Hank observes that none of the gadgets work.

District Attorney Buckner informs Gene Cousineau and Tom Posorro that Barry is making a deal with the FBI. He advises Gene to not say anything, believing that the evidence will be on their side. As they drive, Gene tells Tom about the one-man performance he gave to Lon O'Neil, causing Tom to crash his car. He angrily chastises Gene for his actions, telling him they must stop the article from being published.

In prison, Barry has informed the FBI agents about Hank's and Cristobal's relationship. They intend to honor their deal, informing him that his companion, Sally, will have to be questioned as she must leave her life behind. Barry is visited by Lon O'Neil, who wants to hear his side of the story based on the accusations that Gene made. An angry Barry leaves their conversation, telling him that Gene should shut up. Lon then decides to visit Jim Moss, telling him he spoke with Gene.

Sally has started an acting class, intending to serve as teacher. The class is aware of the recent media push against her, but state that they support her, which delights her and motivates her to be more free-spirited in her methods.

Fuches is informed by Hank that their problem with Barry will end that day, with Hank advising him to keep his mouth shut. Hank is shocked to discover Batir in his compound. Batir warns him that he can join him in his criminal organization again or Hank will be killed.

Meanwhile, Gene and Tom break into Lon's house, wreaking havoc throughout the house. Lon's wife is actually inside and informs Gene that Lon went to visit Jim, disturbing Gene. Gene arrives to talk with Jim, who confronts him for speaking with Lon. Lon is seen driving away, with Jim remarking he won't talk with anyone after talking with him in his garage. Lon arrives home, with no evidence of anything, now speaking only in German.

While hearing monologues, Sally is taken aback by a performer, Kristen, who arrived unprepared. She humiliates her in front of the class as Gene once did to Sally until Kristen confidently recites the "I am big! It's the pictures that got small" line from *Sunset Boulevard*. Sally's attitude is lambasted by her students, with Sally excusing it as she learned it from Gene's lessons. After a break, Sally finds that her whole class has left, except for Kristen. While she does not like her, Kristen has booked a gig and wants Sally's help to prepare.

Back in prison, Barry calls Hank, telling him that he must catch Gene, claiming he has vital information against Hank. Hank confronts Barry on his lies, stating he knows that he talked to the FBI. Barry exchanges insults with a calmed Hank before hanging up, with Hank cutting him out of his life.

Having watched *Rain Man* and seeing a connection to the characters, Fuches decides to warn the officers about the hit on Barry, but his claims are dismissed. Barry has been escorted to meet WITSEC Agent James Curtis, who wants to make it clear that he wants full cooperation from Barry. Barry notices one of the officers accompanying Curtis appearing nervous and identifies him to the agents as someone sent to kill him. The hitman, Nestor, fails in his attempt, blowing off his own finger with his faulty gadget gun pen. His brother Chuy, hiding in the ceiling, kills all of the agents and officers in the room. Barry takes a gun and kills Chuy, while the prison is placed on lockdown. The guards and warden Reynolds arrive at the office, seeing the massacre took place, also discovering that Barry is nowhere to be found.
