Spencer makes a play to poach a big client from Andre (Andy Garcia), his business rival, while struggling to find a quick fix for his physical ailments. Ricky considers where to head to next. Reggie (London Brown) fights for what he believes Vernon (Donovan Carter) owes him. Feeling underpaid and undervalued, Tracy (Arielle Kebble) takes a stand with her boss. Charles gets insights from his coach.

Spencer checks out his badly bruised hip from the tussle with Sizzle. He grabs a bottle of pain pills and pops a few in his mouth.

Arriving at the pharmacy for a prescription refill, Spencer is anxious when they tell him he is overdrawn and they will need to call his doctor. Feeling uncomfortable, he leaves.

Sizzle shows up at ASM for an appointment Spencer set up. Without running it by Anderson first, Spencer tells Joe its time to make a go at getting Sizzle on as a new client. Joe is concerned about moving ahead when they aren't officially cleared by the league yet.

Tracy has lunch with her boss to discuss receiving unequal pay compared to a male coworker. But when his response is just as sexist, she ends up quitting her job.

Reggie, tired of being taken for granted, asks Joe's opinion on how much he should be paid for helping out Vernon. Joe follows up with Vernon to suggest Reggie be put on payroll.

After Spencer admits that he is constantly in pain, Dr. Robbins writes him a prescription for 20 pills, on the condition that he has a full exam.

Jason pitches new locations and teams to Ricky, who dismisses most of them. He puts Buffalo on the backburner, but smiles at the thought of working in "The Big Easy" - New Orleans.

Meeting with Coach Berg, Charles discovers they aren't going to drop him, but want to try him on right tackle.

Reggie and Vernon don't see eye-to-eye on Reggie's salary. While "negotiating" playing paintball, Vernon injures his leg.

Spencer and Joe drop in on Andre to discuss Sizzle's future. Andre clearly doesn't take the pair seriously. Spencer looks Andre in the face point-blank and says, "on behalf of Sizz and all the other football players out there, you're ******* fired."
