A mixed-martial arts title bout is being planned at the local Kinaho Moon Casino, run by tribe leader Benjamin Longshadow and his son Alex. Huge profits are anticipated for Banshee investors, but the enterprise is threatened when the champion arrives and shows off his black-and-blue colors, angering Lucas and especially Siobahn. Will Lucas keep his mouth shut and allow the fight to go on as planned? (HBO UK)

Unlike most viewers, I wasn't too thrilled with this episode. It's hard for me to buy that Carrie, despite her intense training, could so easily handle her father's security team. The fight with Sanchez didn't impress me either. It reminded me of early 90s action movies (especially Van Damme films), where the hero gets pummeled for twenty minutes only to win unexpectedly in the final moments. That formula feels pretty outdated now. ()
