One night Jim Dexter shows up for poker, but a sudden storm breaks up the game. The next day Jim shows up with the Sheriff, claiming he was robbed after leaving the game. A search finds the money in Matt’s bag and he is sent to court. During the trial, Savage realizes that the money doesn't show any water damage, so it can't be the same money, and Dexter actually has the real winnings on his person. Jim had been paid $100 to frame Matt by Greg Parker of the Walking Box group. But the Walking Box group has gotten theirs, being quarantined with "Texas Fever."
