As the video begins to circulate, Denzil is humiliated of his failure to help Yolande. When Nugget teases him over his lack of action, Denzil lashes out, forcing Priya to intervene.

Amy tries to reassure Denzel about his standoff with Logan, but he becomes paranoid about not being buff enough.
At the Boxing Den, Denzel spars with Nugget but asks George if he can get in the ring with fighter Rufus.
