The second installment of "Stick" kicks off with Pryce attempting to persuade Mitt to step out and witness Santi's golfing prowess. Yet, Mitt, a serious-minded soul, isn't swayed by Pryce's pep talks; he prefers to let Santi's game speak volumes.
Santi impresses everyone with his skill until he botches a shot, almost channeling his inner Happy Gilmore. Mitt acknowledges Santi's talent but also detects the warning signs. Santi's game is fraught with risks and scant rewards, and his temper flares easily.
With a crucial tournament looming on Saturday, Elena is astounded when she receives a 100k check from Pryce, who yearns to showcase Santi's abilities. Elena offers Santi words of encouragement and discernibly notices his reignited passion.
Speaking of passion, Pryce visits Amber-Linn at her workplace, bringing her a macchiato and endeavoring to rekindle their past flame. Amber-Linn greets him warmly yet noncommittally, pleased to see his renewed drive. As they converse about their future, Ben, Amber-Linn's coworker and secret six-month beau, arrives with lunch. This revelation later in the episode dishes out a bitter pill for Pryce to swallow.
It's evident that Santi possesses a natural talent, yet, as Mitt aptly pointed out earlier, he is also plagued by irrationality and emotional outbursts. Pryce, seeing his potential, urges him to silence his inner turmoil, believing that together, they could conquer the world. However, their path to dominion is hindered by Pryce's troubled financial past.
One afternoon, Pryce's journey came to an unexpected halt as he was pulled over and apprehended for a staggering 32 unpaid parking tickets. Fortunately, Amber-linn arrived just in time to secure his release, though she didn't hesitate to scold him for his recklessness.
Unfortunately, this incident created a rift between Pryce and Elena when she learned about his arrest. She was infuriated by the notion of him being imprisoned, misunderstanding the true circumstances of his detention. It was Santi who came to his rescue, reassuring Elena that all would be well and eventually convincing her to let the matter pass. With that, they continued on their journey together.
