As Spencer (Dwayne Johnson) tries to move forward, Joe (Rob Corddry) works to keep things together. Charles (Omar Benson Miller) and Ricky (John David Washington) clash. Travis (Adam Aalderks) faces tough questions and worries about his prospects. At his draft day party, Spencer asks for help, while trying to keep ASM's latest developments quiet.

Spencer helps Tracy pack for the airport for her move to Bristol; they realize neither of them have been as focused on their relationship as they have been on their careers.

Joe delivers the contents of Spencer's cleared-out office. Spencer tells him he's not going to cancel his draft party so he can "keep up appearances and move forward."

After letting Ricky know he's been let go from ASM, Spencer asks him for a loan to buy out his former employer. Ricky tells him he needs to think it over. Spencer heads to the bank, and asks his banker to re-examine his loan application.

On his way home to prepare for the draft party, Spencer receives a text from Andre asking if his clients know he was fired. Spencer throws his phone out of the car.

Dressed in his a new custom-tailored suit, Travis meets with team reps from Miami and Dallas. When he shows up at Spencer's, though, he's stressed that he is still projected so low in the draft. Ricky offers Spencer $5 million to help out with the ASM deal.

As the draft continues, Spencer asks Sizzle to make a call for him. Just as Travis starts to get angry that he wasn't drafted in the top five, the phone rings. Baltimore takes him at No. 6; everyone, including Travis, is thrilled. As the crowd toasts, Sizzle surprises everyone by applauding Spencer for going out on his own after being fired.
