Lang and Saab start the day making food at Snr Buns. Lang decides to follow the new gang philosophy of positivity. Saab tells Lang that Flippy called to see how the war is being handled, Saab said it was over, so Flippy wants to do a job together - Lang agrees. A homeless person asks them for money, Lang tries to brush them off, but he claims he's done two tours as an army veteran. Lang doesn't care about his music, they cuss at each other until Saab drives off. Lang and Saab chat in Blarney's about the next event, Lang wants to out do the last one. Lang get's a mysterious call from someone who selected him for 'evaluation', Saab drives him to the location in the south side where Bazim has a new dungeon trial for Lang to try.
Bazim (the dungeon master) leads Lang into the house and shows the names that went before him and failed. Lang claims he doesn't need luck, and enters the dungeon. Lang progresses through a maze of rooms, some with obstacles and twisted perspectives, finding a book that details a collection of notes. As he continues and learns the maze, he finds a few notes that detail a collection of items. It takes him a very long time to collect each item, Bazim grants him access to leave (37 mins). Cuddles calls to admit that she is the Russian Cartel contact who has been trying to make the cocaine deal, Lang thinks she's crazy and doesn't take it personally.
Lang finds Saab and CJ outside speaking to the postal woman. She tells Lang that she delivered his mail yesterday, the recipient was very unhappy. Lang calls Dante to grief him for being taken hostage, and then has him come to the Forge. Dante tells Lang that he saved people as Deadpool, and wants to make a name for himself. He hopes to get an office in Blarney's one day, Lang doesn't seem impressed. Lang lists what he thinks of Dante, welcoming him to North Cypress. Dante is astonished, Lang reminds him not to become lazy or dependent on the people around him. Dante hopes to do his best, and then do better. Lang joins the North as they handle some money runs, Fiona's been going to the hospital nonstop while she works on the warehouse.
Lang grows frustrated with all the cars outside the Forge, Saab calls for a meeting in the Refinery. Saab reminds everyone, including Tony, of the Blarney's events happening soon. Tony offers to help build the track, Dante wants to gather tires and equipment for the barriers they need. Saab introduces Dante as their new member, everyone welcomes him. Saab takes a phone call, Lang thinks Skipper looks disgusting now that he's hairless, but he's only hairless because he blew up while he was in cuffs. Lang suggests getting dog fur for his head, CJ was styled by Tony, Lang can tell. Lang pulls Saab aside for being too nice, Saab won't let Tony take over the race, Saab understands. Lang and Saab plan to have the race ready by next friday, Lang needs to order the go-karts from overseas so it's going to cost the entire Blarney's savings.
Lang calls Clark to meet by the docks, but Clark doesn't have any new information to share. Lang is surprised that it's been nearly two weeks with no news, Clark just waits for updates to come to him. Lang asks how Arush's ammo sales are going, Clark is acting weird and thinks Lang is acting weird, too. Clark asks about what Lang's intentions are, questioning why he's with Cypress at all if this 'thing' is 'bigger than it all'. Lang doesn't like this line of questioning and ends the meeting, they both leave and Lang calls Arush to catch up instead. Lang compliments Fiona's hard work and heads to Blarney's to chat with people as they gamble. Lang joins Saab while they continue to make the course for the Blarney's race, Buddha tests out the go karts on a loop and crashes into the water, but is excited to make the race work. Lang presses the cops at Blarney's who are gambling on basketball, encouraging them to gamble more.
