What happens

Riley is convinced his son has agreed to throw the game and rushes to the locker room, where he finds Junior upset and angry at his father for doubting him. Riley scrambles to set things right before the game begins.

Written from the episode itself; it never gives away the ending. Every recording is remastered for the stream: cleaned of rumble, hiss and mains hum (and the old TV whine where we found it), then levelled in two passes to steady broadcast loudness, so one show is never quieter than the next.
