Overview: A frazzled Theresa starts questioning her relationship with Lucky, feeling as if she is spending her nights with a compulsive gambler who has no clear goals. Lucky assures Theresa that if given some time to make a list, he could find some goals. After getting mugged at gunpoint by a masked figure and saved by a former gambler named Murray, Lucky has an epiphany: He'll no longer gamble. He'll work for Murray's company and sell meat. With Lucky's uncanny ability to decipher people, he's a natural salesman and quickly establishes Murray's meats as a staple around Las Vegas. The only problem is that the company's fiercest competitors, the Russo Brothers, aren't afraid to use intimidation to get sales. After a romantic dinner with Theresa is foiled by Russo's men, Lucky declares a "meat war" and vows that Murray's Meats will ultimately prevail.
