Recap

As one of the gamblers approaches Jim’s hiding spot beneath the ring, Rollin thinks quickly and shaves the die that he’s holding using a spare coin. He then accuses someone of cheating, and the man going for the die beneath the ring steps back. Wesley asks to see the other die and the man gets it, unaware that Jim has moved away. The henchman confirms that the second dice isn’t marked and that both dice were clean when he came in. Rollin storms off, saying he won’t play in a crooked game, and the others leave with him. Once everyone leaves, Jim slips back out through the window...

Episode Quotes
Charles Buckman: Shall I pick you up tonight?
Cinnamon: Do you need to ask?
Charles Buckman: Yes, I do.
Cinnamon: Why? Why do you need to ask?
Charles Buckman: Because I still haven't figured you out.
Cinnamon: Is there some rule that says you have to have everything figured out?
Charles Buckman: No, but it bothers me when I don't. Thinks like this don't just occur. There has to be an angle.
Cinnamon: Maybe there isn't any angle.
Charles Buckman: That's not like any woman I've met before.
Cinnamon: I thought you've never get around to telling me that.

(unaware of Jim's real identity)
Dan Whelan: He's a good man. Always thinking.
