At the tables, Toby reads people and cleans up at poker. They see a notice about a public hearing for the Crimson expansion and wonder if Bob Connelly was spread thin enough to frame Walter. At the station, Detective Rake shows them the footage of their room and Happy notices the sight line out the window is wrong, like it was spliced from another floor. With about $200 between them, Toby and Sylvester set out to win big while Paige and Happy try to get a peek at the surveillance footage. The team has two hours to raise the cash. In court, he tries to argue they can't find a jury of his peers since he's a genius, but he only succeeds in getting a high bail. Then they find stacks of cash in Walter's bag. Walter agrees to let the police search their room. They have audio of Walter warning his team a robbery is about to go down, and Detective Rake thinks that means he coordinated it. The team tracks the heat sensors under the carpet, which show the robbers went to a storage closet with no exit. Rake is suspicious and points out that the cameras they repositioned led to blind spot so they didn't see the robbers leave. Walter tells Detective Lou Rake what he saw. Happy tackles Paige out of the line of fire, but several patrons are hit. As the cash cart is wheeled out, a masked man starts firing a semi-automatic into the crowd. He warns his team that a robbery is about to go down. As they're splitting off to play, Walter notices two guys going against the crowd, checking their phone. Later, Walter says good-bye to Bob after upgrading their computer, but agrees to let his team relax before their flight. Paige tries to call him on it, but Walter insists they did their job. He's emotionless about it, even as Ronny protests. Walter tells Bob they just have to fire Ronny to solve their problem. He has small hands, which means slower deals, which means cumulative loses. They bring in Ronny (Chris Mulkey), who isn't doing anything wrong. They zoom in on a table and Walter identifies the problem dealer. They watch the surveillance and Sylvester doesn't see any card counting.
