A monster emerges out of the mire, spewing grim heartbreak."Haiku aside, what have I just gotten myself into?" "It's just a poker game." "Okay, please promise me this poker game isn't in a parking garage, and tomorrow isn't Valentine's Day." Saturday. After a crazy night of gale-force winds beating away millions of locusts and beating up Las Vegas, the plot thickens. A jungle gym of personalities entangle in gambling games with mortal stakes, meanwhile, catching uncomfortable glimpses of what lies behind the looking glass. Bozzy O'Reilly manifests his dream of playing with the high rollers. Imani discovers a strangely beautiful arcade where she plays a penny game for high stakes. Rhea prepares to meet pop star Weirdo Cool for a poker game with the infamous Johnny Correre. Is there any encounter with a Mafia boss that isn't a big gamble?
