The next day, the news about Peter leaving spreads quickly. At the Manhattan Christian game, Mervin sees Carl arrive with Maggie. At the end of the game, Olaf makes a game-winning shot and Mervin explodes with cheers, thinking they won. However, the referee blows the whistle after the buzzer and calls traveling on Olaf, making his basket not count.

After Peter leaves, the team loses to Twin Bridges. During the game, the referee ejects Tom for pushing another player after he saw the player elbowing Olaf aggressively. In the locker room, Sam applauds Tom for standing up for Olaf.

On the weekend, Sam goes on a hike with Diana. Diana and Sam lie on the ground and Diana shows him how to enjoy the nature around them. The next day, Mervin drives to the Garden Café in Manhattan. In the café, Lute hands the $100 bill over to Carl and everyone cheers. Mervin tells Carl that he wants to bet on the next game, and Mervin bets his car against the John Deere “D.”
