The story so far
Everything you need before watching
After Kyle blows the regional match, Mike follows Cindy into the parking lot. He is furious: the boy had a real shot at something that could change his life, and that chance is gone. Cindy says she came to watch her son wrestle, then admits she wants her father back, and the fifteen-hundred-dollar commission. Mike offers a deal. She can have the money without taking Leo, if she leaves Kyle with them until he finishes high school. She refuses. He is her son.
