Nick Jackson is backstage at a show. He goes into the bathroom but Burnard The Business Bear appears over the top of the toilet stall and points at Nick before leaving. Nick reacts angrily before the opening titles hit.

Matt Jackson is at home with his family. He has had delivery of the first run of his new children's book that he has written and shows it off. Matt talks about the book and the reads it to his children. Later Matt and Nick are in the pool at Nick's house where Nick announces that it is his birthday. They talk about having the last week off in order to celebrate with family.

Back in Atlanta, SoCal Uncensored are at the airport waiting for an early morning flight. Frankie Kazarian and Christopher Daniels are asleep but Scorpio Sky is looking angrily around and whispers that it is the worst town that he has ever been in. Daniels wakes up and tells him to be quiet as it is 5am but Kazarian wakes up as well and begins to hisper about how horrible the airport and Atlanta is. Daneils agrees and can't wait to get back to southern California. They quietly shout SCU as they wait for their flight.

In Japan Juice Robinson is backstage trying to come up with something to get him on BTE. He sees Taka Michinoku and asks the Japanese wrestler is he really chopped off Val Venis' penis. Michinoku says yes it's true and they did it to someone else as well but he can't remember who it was as it was a long time ago. Robinson decides that it must have been Flash Funk and walks off.

Back in Atlanta Matt and Nick are getting ready to do an autograph signing session and show Cody and Brandi Rhodes who have brought their small dog. A fan has a Justice for Joey sign but Matt and Nick still don't know who the killer is. There is a flashback to Joey Ryan laid out on his bed covered in blood before showing Ryan alive and well and a mushroom growing. Adam Page wakes up from a nightmare and looks terrified as he tries to go back to sleep.

The next day Page is searching his hotel for something while wearing no shoes. He finds Kenny Omega who is reading a book and asks Kenny how Kenny does it. Kenny asks what he wants to know and Hangman asks how Kenny keeps winning in the G1 tournament. Kenny says that he has been cheating as it is all about mindset and shows Page his "*How To Keep Winning*" book. Kenny says that he will give Page the book once the tournament is over but Page says that he needs it now and offers to trade a slice of ham for it. Kenny refuses but Hangman says that he might be willing to kill someone to get the book and Kenny reluctantly agrees and gives him the book and the ham. Hangman heads off as Kenny wishes him happy birthday and suggests that Page is getting weirder and weirder.

Back in Atlanta Flip Gordon is with Brandi as she tries to consol Flip for clowing his last chance to get booked for *All In*. Matt and Nick arrive and commiserate with Flip as well saying they wanted to book him but Cody wont budge. Flip heads off to find Marty even though it is Marty filming the scene. Once Flip leaves Brandi, Nick and Matt try and think of another way to get Flip booked. A *HighSpots.com* promo for an *All In* crate runs.

Elsewhere Marty is eating beef jerky in an attemt to bulk up before his match. Nick Aldis appears and asks what he is doing. Aldis says that Marty needs to eat differently to build size. Marty asks if that means taking steroids and Aldis says no and hands him a box of donuts and says that Marty needs calories.

Back at Nick's house his family and friends are presenting him with a birthday cake. He opens it to find a Luigi (of Mario Brothers) cake. Nick is annoyed as he wanted Mario and this makes him look second best, as Poppa Buck points out that Matt bought the cake.

Backstage at a show Kazuchika Okada is asked about his upcoming match with Marty Scurll. Okada muses that Scurll is small and week and asks if he is a junior heavyweight. Okada says this will be Scurll's last match before he gets moved to *205 Live*.

At Cody's home he is asking for advice about his senate bid which is failing badly. His campaign advisors are Arthur and Trevor who tell him that Cody is a rubbish politician. Trevor says that Cody is polling badly with virtually every group but Arthur insists the problem is that Cody's running mate is a bear (as they pull back to show Burnard holding a campaign sign) and that he has a dog running around everywhere. Te campaign advisors suggest that Cody quits and considers another run in the future leaving Cody and Burnard with their heads in their hands.

Back at Nick's birthday Nick opens Matt's present which is a pair of headphones but Nick is still sore about the cake. Popa Buck arrives and shows off his new t-shirt and says that All In is only just over a month away and The Bucks haven't even booked their own match. Nick agrees and whispers his idea to Matt in case Popa Buck overhears. Matt says that match will blow their whole budget and that they need to ask Cody first but Nick says that it is his birthday and books it. A promo card for their macth appears as the episode ends.
