"Oh I hope they recreate the circumstances that got Brose in deep with the casino," you say.

And Vyse then suggests they have someone go undercover to be the new high roller that then loses big. That'll get Haviaras to offer the same deal he did to Brose.

"Nice guess," Robin says.

"Well it seemed like the most convoluted plan so why wouldn't the movie go with that?"

And so Vyse & Grady enlist the help of a gambling expert in the police force, Sheffield Flink. Flink has gone undercover to expose casinos and backroom gambling groups before, and has never been to the Rhea River so this works out well for the undercover mission.

With Vyse & Grady in a surveillance truck, Flink goes to the hotel at sunset. Flink wins big all night, amassing quite the fortune. He reports back at the end of the night, bringing up who was eyeing him. Haviaras and a rather conspicuous thug were the most obvious. But just this one night won't be enough, so they decide to come back the next night.

Cut to night two, and Flink wins big again. Flink notices Haviaras and the thug still watching him. Night three, Flink actually talks with Haviaras. Haviaras is very impressed by Flink, Flink thanks him, and Haviaras offers Flink an "opportunity to really make a killing." Haviaras gives Flink a card and Flink reports back to Vyse & Grady. This can't be what Haviaras offered Brose, Flink hasn't even lost anything yet. But maybe Haviaras is desperate, needing someone to essentially take Brose's place.

The decision is made that Flink will still meet with Haviaras as the time and place on the card. Flink arrives with the surveillance truck following a safe distance behind. It's a warehouse thought to be abandoned, but when Flink walks up, there's a doorman. He sees the card Haviaras gave Flink and lets Flink in. Flink sees it's an underground fight ring!

"Oooh!" the group says, in some cases mockingly.

"That's why Brose looks like he fought someone before he died," Beast Boy says. "Cuz he fought someone and died."

But then Haviaras brings Flink to a back office, and threatens him with a gun! Haviaras sees through the police's undercover operation! He knows they sent Flink in to investigate, but they've only sent him to his death! Flink uses the signal word! Grady calls for reinforcements while Vyse drives the truck into the warehouse! Haviaras still shoots Flink, but only gets him in the leg. The gamblers and fighters run for it! Haviaras also runs for it, but Vyse pursues while Grady helps Flink.

Vyse and Haviaras square off in the fight ring's, well, ring. Vyse disarms Haviaras of his gun so now it's down to hand-to-hand. Another greatly choreographed scene, lots of dramatic slow-motion for when someone makes impact, and certainly a lot of blood flying from noses and mouths. But of course, Vyse wins in the end and Haviaras is arrested.

As things wrap up, Flink will be alright since it was just the outside of his thigh that got hit. Grady notes they still need to look into who gambled at the fight ring, but Vyse says that can wait. He feels like he needs a drink. Flink jokes that drinks are on him, since he still has that small fortune he made.

"A cheesy ending to a cheesy movie," Beast Boy says. "Nice."

The cake is done baking so you create the glaze while it cools. Sugar and water mixes in a smaller saucepan over medium heat, swirling the mix for about four minutes until it becomes a golden caramel. You add a couple tablespoons of warm water, bring to a simmer, and whisk in some thin cream before bringing to a boil. You then pour the caramel over white chocolate, and stir so that the chocolate melts and the mix is smooth. Then all that's left is to pour it over the cake so that it drips over the sides.

"And second dessert is served," you say.

Everyone gets a slice and a tall glass of milk.

"Mmm~!" Jinx and Argent say.

"This is really good," Argent says. "Not quite the dark chocolate pudding but still, really good."

"Thank you," you say.
