When they arrive they walk in on two men robbing the place and roughing up the owner. Before they can catch them, the duo disappears but after some investigation the Lambs are able to track them to their next target.

He makes bail only to kidnap Ralph, in the scene we see at the top of the show, and get his stolen winnings back. Hot on his trail, Dixon, Jack and Katherine arrive on the scene just in time to save Ralph from an untimely demise.
