Outline

Sally turns down the supposedly empowering TV role she is offered involving abused women killing their husbands that is little more than revenge porn. She is jealous when Barry, after being spotted in her agent’s lobby, lands an audition for a lead role in a major feature film. While Barry gets acting advice from Gene, Lindsay offers Sally the opportunity to have the acting class perform their scenes on a large stage in order to get Sally’s story out into the world. After Hank’s men escape a burning bus and a shootout with the Bolivians and Burmese, they abandon him due to his poor leadership choices and turn to Mayrbeck as a leader. When Gene does not show up for Barry’s audition, Barry discovers that Fuches is posing as a private detective to lead Gene to Detective Moss’s body. Barry underperforms in his audition, much to the intrigue of the director, and leaves in a hurry. After hearing Gene explain how Barry was lost until he came to his class, an infuriated Fuches leads him to Moss’s car. After popping the trunk and showing Moss’s body to the distraught Gene, Fuches calls the police and confesses to murdering her, pretending to be Gene. Fuches then raises a gun to Gene’s head while Barry races through the forest.
