Summary Steve has a concussion, but is otherwise OK after suffering a brutal knockout in his first pro fight. Rick looks back on the year, and what it has meant to him. Then it is his turn in the cage: he brings the drama of his wrestling days to a grand entrance. He fights hard, but loses in the second round to his much more experienced opponent. No matter - he is exhilarated, and keen to go it again, and soon. Then it is Boyd's turn - at long last. More than a year after he came up with what many though was a crazy plan his dream is coming true, and his whole family is there to see it, including his brothers who fly in from Newfoundland to cheer him on. In the cage, Boyd transforms from a mild-mannered office worker and loving family man to steely fighting machine. He channels all of the physical and emotional stress of the last year into his match. Boyd dominates his 20-year-old opponent - so much so the referee almost stops the fight because his opponent cannot properly defend himself. The other fighter finds his feet, coming back with a few clean shots that force the ref to stop the fight. Boyd is exhausted, but triumphant. Peter is overwhelmed. Everyone is awed by Boyd's performance, especially when they find out he broke him arm early on and kept fighting. A few weeks later, Boyd, Steve and Rick meets for beers to reflect on the amazing journey they have taken together, and the deep friendships they have forged.
