Synopsis
Tracing a lead to Bonnie's barbershop, Sam poses as a customer. Williams spots him as a cop, and he and Bonnie knock Sam unconscious and pack him into an empty slot machine. While Tracy and others look for Sam, the box in which he's been placed is picked up and taken to a junkyard for compaction.
