## Summary

Abby tries to kill Lewis, but Edamame intervenes and Isabelle convinces Lewis to live. On the night before the finals between Abby and Clark, Edamame and Sam discuss how to get the money he lost on the last race back, and he suggests that Sam apologizes for concealing his identity. Sam is let in and places a huge bet on Clark. Three days before the finals, Edamame is given the tiny explosive that was used on Caio to be put in Clark's plane. Then he went to Fort Canning Park to talk with Isabelle about Lewis, learning that Lewis became a stunt pilot after the war and he mentored Clark. She also mentions that ever since the incident, he has been longing to return to the sky. That night, Edamame sees Clark convince him to race for real and Clark reveals that he asked Lewis to race him for real despite Sam's orders and blames himself for hurting him. After hearing Clark's story, Edamame decides not to use the explosive. Edamame and Abby then meet Lewis in his hotel room to discuss his relationship with Clark, as well as to make a bet. On the day of the race, Lewis pilots Abby's plane in her place. Recognizing the maneuvers only Lewis is capable of pulling off, Lewis and Clark race for real and perform aerial stunts along the way. Clark edges out Lewis to win the tournament, but Sam is fooled into believing that Abby won due to the cellophane screens that make the red fireworks appear purple and the doctored footage that showed Abby as the winner at the casino. After Sam finds out he was lied to, he returns only to find the casino gone and he tries to kill Edamame and Abby, but they escape by parachuting out of the building. Meanwhile, Lewis and Clark look forward to the day they can race each other for real again having moved on from their pasts.

## Plot

While slowly, but surely getting off his wheelchair, Lewis admits to Abby that he was the military pilot that dropped the bomb in Baghdad in 2003. He shows no remorse in his actions, prompting Abby to go on the offense against him. Before, Abby could finish off Lewis, Makoto intervenes and stops her. Isabelle rushes into the scene and Lewis pleas to Abby for her to kill him. This is so his wife can finally be free of him and his burdens on her.

The final results to the Pathfinder Race tournament and it's Abby vs Clark. That night by the rooftop poolside, Sam asks Makoto how to regain the money he lost from Laurent. Avoiding the question, Makoto asks about Lewis and why he got rid of him. In turn, Sam claims that he simply didn't live up to his usefulness. Clark then divulges more information on Lewis and his opinions on him as well. So, Makoto advises Sam to make it look as though the team owners aren't in cahoots with each other.

On the day of the Grand Finals. Following, Makoto's advice, Sam visits the underground casino and formally apologizes for his impertinence by concealing his identity. Furthermore, he wishes to clear his name on how he fixes races to win in his favor. Laurent allows Sam entry into the Casino and he then convinces Cynthia to place a 100 thousand dollar bet on Abby. All of this was according to Makoto's advice.

Three days before the final, it's planned that Sam should bet 25 million on Clark. It's also planned that Makoto will use the same explosive used on Caio's plane on Clark's plane. In place of Abby, Makoto volunteers himself to check up on Lewis and Isabelle. At Fort Canning Park, Makoto only meets with Isabelle as Lewis went off on his own. They then go for a walk while talking about the night before. Isabelle holds nothing against Abby for what she did as she must have endured a lot in her life. She also discloses more about Lewis' background, all while a furtive Abby eavesdrops on the entire conversation.

That afternoon, Makoto and Clark have a heart to heart together at the hangar. It's revealed that Clark approached Lewis and asked him to race him for real. Lewis accepts it and for it, Sam punishes him, causing him to have the injuries he sustained in the present. Clark admits his guilt of being culpable for what happened to Lewis and lives with the regret every day.

At night, Makoto talks with Abby who stares at a Gacha figurine of Akechi Mitsuhide. Makoto explains a bit of his backstory to her. Later, the two visit Lewis and Isabelle in their room. There, Makoto brings up that Clark still admires him and that he was the one that confronted Sam about the fixed races. Furthermore, Makoto claims that Lewis isn't there for revenge, but to settle the score once and for all. Abby then chimes in and gives a disdainful remark and Lewis agrees with it while claiming himself that Clark and he will never see eye to eye. Meanwhile, Kim arrives with her crew to spruce up the casino for the final event.

Back to the day of the finals, it's revealed that Makoto never sabotaged Clarks plane and Lewis flies Abby's plane. Once Clark learns that Lewis is piloting Abby's plane after he pulls off a few stunts. The two of them race seriously from then on out. In the end, Clark wins the race and the two pilots reconcile. Sam, however, is tricked into thinking Abby won the match. Once he leaves the casino, he learns the truth. Makoto and Abby arrive at the casino where they're confronted by Sam and his men try to kill them. They then escape by parachuting off the building and land in the water below.
