But she has to pull herself together quickly, because Racing is going through another turmoil: the club has been raided and is threatened with a takeover to avoid bankruptcy. For his part, Fodé is dragged unwillingly into a political and militant stand that is beyond him. Marie drops a new bombshell: making it legal for citizens to bear arms.

In such a tense environment, anything is possible, especially the worst. - Kill Bill

Sam and Marie, each coaching their own candidate, face off in this final televised duel.
