For Scarlet, this is shocking, but at the same time morbid curiosity starts to get the best of her, and soon, she wants to be around him. But of course, someone who saw him in that manner caught him on tape, and he plans to use it as blackmail to get Cody to throw the game. Will they be able to work things out? Or is this the end of his championship chances?
