In an attempt to refill the stores' shelves, Rhett heads to the storage locker auctions - ending up in a bidding war with Maggie and Eliza. A blood-thirsty loan shark informs Norma Jean of an outstanding lien.
On the day Norma Jean finally hits the jackpot, a surprise guest from Rhett's past brings the King and Pawn an influx of increasingly violent visitors and an unwanted police presence.
