Recap[]

What am I saying

Charlie on steroids.

11:30 PM on a Tuesday

As the gang walks down the street, they argue whether Rocky or Million Dollar Baby is the best movie of all time. When they walk into an alley, a meth head holds them up with a knife. The boys run, knocking Dee over and leaving her behind. The meth head sarcastically remarks "Nice friends." She decides to start taking boxaerobics to increase her self-defense skills. Frank offers to teach her real boxing instead.

At the gym, Frank and Dee are pestered by Frank's old boxing nemesis Bobby Thunderson and his daughter Brianna. Frank pushes Dee to the limit and after seeing little improvement, Dee begins heavily taking steroids. She goes toe-to-toe with Brianna and they agree to box to determine the best boxer.

Meanwhile, Dennis and Mac discover the underworld culture of fight clubs. They realize they know a guy who could take a beating and make them some money - Charlie. They begin training him to take a beating by throwing trashcans at him and breaking things over his back. Charlie begins taking Dee's steroids to get stronger.

The day of both fights, Dee runs out of pills. She and Charlie begin to fight in the street due to their roid rage. They chase a man down and are arrested, missing their fights. Mac must fight a skinny boy otherwise he and Dennis would lose $500. He gets his ass kicked and when the meth head holds them up again, Dennis reveals that he bet against Mac and made a lot of money.

Frank, meanwhile, offers to box Bobby to reclaim his honor. He swings before the count, knocking Bobby out. Frank's joy turns to panic as he watches Bobby knock into Brianna, who falls, breaking her neck on a fallen stool. He screams "Holy shit!" and flees.
