**"Big Trouble in Little Italy"** is an episode of the Infinity Crab Saga that was released on May 7, 2021 as part of a virtual No Shame due to the coronavirus pandemic. This was the second episode to be filmed at McLean High School since COVID lockdown. During the performance actors were masked, and a recording was edited and released. "Big Trouble in Little Italy" is the fifth episode of season 2, and follows Good Guy Graham, Bad Boy Will, and Steve as they revisit the White Rose in an attempt to learn more about the Infinity Crab.

## Episode Summary

### Act 1

In the offices of the White Rose, a Capo tells the Boss that a visitor is here to see her. This visitor is Gray, who offers the Boss abilities in exchange for her cooperation in getting the Infinity Crab from Good Guy Graham and Bad Boy Will by turning them against each other.

Good Guy Graham leads Bad Boy Will and Steve to the White Rose with the Infinity Crab, despite Steve's worries that Good Guy Graham left the White Rose on "pretty bad terms". The group are greeted at the door by an Operative, who recognizes Good Guy Graham from his former position as the boss of the White Rose. The Operative is about to invite Good Guy Graham back into the organization when the significantly less enthusiastic Capo interrupts, scolding Good Guy Graham for returning after his sudden abandonment of the White Rose, and saying that he needs to talk to the new Boss at once.

Back inside the Boss's office, the Boss makes clear that she now holds a higher status than Good Guy Graham, and asks why he returned. Steve tells the Boss that they are hoping to safely look inside the Infinity Crab, and the Boss says that she has a "mystical artifact guy", who she sends Good Guy Graham, Steve, and the Operative to see. Before Bad Boy Will can leave, he is held behind by the Boss, who offers to discuss Good Guy Graham with him.

### Act 2

Good Guy Graham, Steve, and the Operative arrive in the room of the Mystic. Although the Mystic is initially more interested in interrogating Good Guy Graham and Steve's astrological signs, she eventually agrees to help them look inside the Infinity Crab to find out what, or rather *who*, is inside. The Mystic reveals that there are three presences inside the Infinity Crab: one which is ancient and evil, and two more who are young, weaker, and in pain. As the ritual continues, the participants begin to see visions of the inside of the Crab. Good Guy Graham sees his daughter, along with Will's, and stops the ritual by quickly standing up and leaving the room with the Infinity Crab, prompting Steve and the Operative to follow him out of the room.

### Act 3

Still in the Boss's office, the Boss talks to Bad Boy Will about Good Guy Graham, who she claims has been lying to Bad Boy Will this whole time. She says that Good Guy Graham was the one who killed Will's daughter, and that he dismantled the Black Rose, Bad Boy Will's former charitable organization, though Gray is seen to be manipulating the Boss as she recites these lies. The Boss convinces Bad Boy Will that he will be better off without Good Guy Graham, and that the only problem now was that Good Guy Graham has the Infinity Crab.

Then, Good Guy Graham enters with the Infinity Crab, and a manipulated Bad Boy Will forcibly grabs the Infinity Crab away from him. Good Guy Graham retaliates with a balance push, forcing Bad Boy Will off of his feet and the Infinity Crab out of his hands. The Boss stands and claims the now unguarded Infinity Crab, having completed Gray's mission for her, and holds it up for Gray to claim. Gray does claim the Infinity Crab, but leaves the Boss without the powers he promised her, making the White Rose defenseless.

Good Guy Graham, Bad Boy Will, and Steve arrest the remaining members of the White Rose, but the Boss insists that they have lost the day because Gray and the Council now have their daughters, who are being held prisoner inside the Infinity Crab.
