As Steve wins his way to the top, Stan's enthusiasm is tinged with both joy and sadness, mirroring Steve's who would rather bowl with his dad. When he gets out of hand at a match, Stan finds himself banned from the bowling alley. Refusing to give up, Stan sneaks in disguised in a hoodie with a celebratory cake, but finds that if Steve wins the final match, he can turn pro and move on away from his dad and family. Determined to stop him, Stan sneaks in and stabs Steve's ankle, ruining his chance in addition to the injury. Angry about being stabbed and the lack of interest by the police, Steve enlists Stan to help him discover his assailant's identity.

Stan tries to eat the cake before Steve finds it, but is caught in the act. They both share their stories of frustration in the decisions they made, but when Stan dismisses the idea that the stabbing hurt as much as claimed, stabs himself several times until he collapses. After a trip to the hospital for both of them, a detective is impressed with Steve's skill and hires him on for a case, but when he finds a pile of body parts, he vomits and finds he has no stomach for the job.
