Stumpy and Rita Sue strike a deal with each other, and Jones, to save their marriage. Samson covers for Ben when the law comes knocking, and Sofie settles a score with Libby and Jones, only to find herself in the grips of Apollonia's fury.

      • Ben: God takes what's His. Man don't take it back. Edit
      • Samson: Talk to the man? Ben: Yeah. Samson: What'd he say? Ben: He said he's, he got some answers for me. Said him and me...we're alike. Samson: Is that a fact? Say anything else? Ben: Told me how I can help someone. Samson: But there's a price. And who's gonna pay that price? Look, I don't know what it is you have to do and I don't care. I do know what kind of games Management plays. He don't care much for people. Like pieces moving around on a board. But these people around here mean more than that to me. Whatever it is you gotta do, you make sure it happens to somebody else. Somebody who don't matter. Somebody who won't be missed. Someone more like you. There ain't nothing good happened since you've come here. Not for us, not for you. Edit
      • Stumpy: It's a hell of marriage we got here. Rita Sue: I wouldn't trade it. Stumpy: Wouldn't be any traders. Edit
