The coaches instructed the team to be in their rooms by 11 pm, and failing to do so could have harsh consequences. With only a few hours left to fix the problem, Danny and Russ headed to a Halloween store in the area to check for glue. They secretly take Nishan's friend, Sasha's car, for the mission. While they managed to secure the last bottle in the store, someone broke the car's glass and stole the prosthetics and other belongings.
The search for the items created more problems, with Russ getting wounded eventually. After the two had a bitter fight, Russ stole glue from the hospital and made it back in time. He bumped into Ricky at the hotel, who recognized him as Russ. This became a prominent point in the episode.
The episode ended with Russ making things work out at the end. He reconciled with Danny and won the game. However, the episode ended with Ricky's suspicions about Russ and Chad, promising more challenges ahead.
