As a baseball star, Kenny Powers had it all: money, fame, obsessed fans. But he threw it all away in a haze of hard-living and complacency. HBO presents this riotous comedy series starring Danny McBride as the former pitcher who finds himself out of baseball and reduced to teaching Phys Ed at the North Carolina school he once attended.
Chapter 7
<div class='episode-body-left-aligned' style='text-align: left'><p>In Copales, Mexico a corn-rowed Kenny Powers takes bets on his prized fighting cock "Big Red." When a local gambler can't afford to pay, Kenny, who has assumed the identity of "Steve," takes the man's jackass instead. While living it up with his new sidekicks Aaron and Hector, a mouthy midget and a mute brute, Kenny briefly wonders about the life he left behind to live in a dumpy Mexican apartment. <br /><br />Kenny and his guys visit a club where the performer, Vida, shakes her magnificent ass for the crowd as she sings. Afterward, Kenny approaches her outside the club, looking to follow-up on their one-night stand, but she doesn't seem interested. He checks out the hapless local baseball team, Los Charros, and after another embarrassing loss, the team's manager, Roger, recognizes Kenny in the parking lot and approaches him. Kenny pretends not to know what Roger is talking about, maintaining his cover as Steve the Cockfighter.<br /><br />In his next fight, Big Red gets taken out. After Kenny buries and eulogizes his bird, Aaron and Hector turn on him and take him for all he has (a little bit of cash and a truck loaded with cocks). Feeling dejected, Kenny has dinner with his neighbor's family and is moved by Catuey's prayer. Kenny comes clean about his identity, taking out his corn-rows, and the next day, Kenny rides his moped onto the Charros practice field. He calls a team meeting and lets everyone know: Kenny Powers is back, and he's joining the Charros.</p></div>
Chapter 8
<div class='episode-body-left-aligned' style='text-align: left'><p>In El Paso, the real Stevie has sex with a prostitute who Kenny has visited before. Back in Mexico, Kenny practices with the Charros. The team's owner, Sebastian, invites Kenny into his palatial home, where the two men bond over their shared love of money and racism, and Sebastian promises to make Kenny's debut a spectacle.</p><p>Kenny returns home to find Stevie waiting in his apartment. Startled, Kenny shoots him in the leg and then enlists Catuey's sister-in-law, Maria, to dress the wound. When Stevie comes to, he explains that he followed the "clues" that Kenny had charged to Stevie's credit card. The two visit a strip club, where Stevie drops the news that April got married to Cutler back in North Carolina. Kenny pretends not to care, but when he sees Vida on the way home, he expresses his devastation by coming clean about his identity. Kenny says he'll take care of the extremely trashed Stevie, who wakes up the next morning in the back of a truck headed to America.</p><p>At the Charros game, Kenny isn't in the bullpen. Roger finds him moping in the locker room and gives a motivational speech that fires Kenny up. With fireworks going off and an American flag draped across his shoulders, Kenny makes his entrance into the game and throws three fastballs for three strikes. "Estas f**king afuera."</p><p>After Kenny's performance, the fans barely react. Stevie shows up after the game (a bit worse for wear after hitching his way back to Mexico) and pleads to be a part of his idol's Mexican adventure. Kenny agrees to have him.</p></div>
Chapter 9
<div class='episode-body-left-aligned' style='text-align: left'><p>At his home, Kenny lays out errands for the thong-clad Stevie to take care of. Disappointed with the level of promotion he's received from the Charros, Kenny enlists Stevie and Catuey to spread word about his comeback around town while he launches a publicity stunt. At the grocery store, Kenny signs autographs in a mariachi costume and runs into Vida, who he invites to a party on team owner Sebastian's yacht.<br /><br />Catuey's sister Maria changes Stevie's bandage from his bullet wound, and despite the language barrier, there's a spark between them. Their moment is interrupted by the return of Kenny's former sidekicks, Aaron and Hector, who tell Stevie they've found a man named Eduardo Sanchez that Kenny has been looking for. On Sebastian's boat, the owner and his star player are deeply engaged in conversation as Vida and other girls dance in front of them. Kenny, a lifetime breast man, is contemplating switching sides to support "tits' greatest enemy"—the ass. Later that night in Vida's apartment, Kenny formally changes his allegiance.<br /><br />The next morning, Kenny is surprised to meet Vida's son Tony and they share an awkward conversation. At the game, the crowd is far from enthused, but when Kenny instigates a brawl with the opposing team, the place goes wild. Outside the stadium, Kenny signs an autograph for a young fan who calls him "La Flama Blanca," White Flame.<br /><br />At Big Red's grave, Aaron and Hector take Kenny's money, but instead of giving him Eduardo Sanchez's address, they give him a phone book. Stevie presses Kenny about the mysterious man, but Kenny refuses to say who he is. At a local carnival, Kenny tells Vida and Tony that he wants them to be a part of his life.</p></div>
Chapter 10
<div class='episode-body-left-aligned' style='text-align: left'><p>Kenny Powers is making the world his bitch. He has the hottest girl, the best drugs and of course, jet skis.

La Flama Blanca is on fire.<br /><br />Stevie tries to reopen the Eduardo Sanchez case, but Kenny shuts him down, while providing key information about the mysterious man's whereabouts. When Maria comes by to treat Stevie's wound, she takes off her clothes and they kiss passionately. At the stadium, Kenny enters the game on his jackass and is promptly ejected. <br /><br />Kenny brings Vida to Sebastian's house to record a song in his studio. During the production of Vida's not-so-subtle "I Wanna Be By Myself," Kenny asserts himself in the studio, even adding his own remix track. Later that night, Kenny brings Vida's son Tony over to the studio to find out what she's been up to. Kenny sees her behind the glass and storms inside, only to find Sebastian going down on her. Tony flees in horror, while Kenny screams at Vida, calling her "a whore with a regular old whore's heart." He locks her in the booth with Sebastian and smashes the studio. <br /><br />Kenny returns home and finds Stevie and Maria having sex on the couch. Still angry, he forces Stevie to break up with her. Despite being benched by Roger, Kenny shows up at the Charros game drunk. He takes the mound, pulls a soccer ball from under his shirt, tosses it in the air and shoots it with his revolver.<br /><br />At Catuey's house, Stevie has news for Kenny— he's found Eduardo Sanchez. They steal Sebastian's Lamborghini and drive to a town 100 miles east. Eduardo sees Kenny and greets him. Kenny responds, "Hello, Pop."</p></div>
Chapter 11
<div class='episode-body-left-aligned' style='text-align: left'><p>Kenny and Eduardo size each other up: Kenny claims the Lamborghini he stole from Sebastian is his own, and Eduardo counters that he's so rich, he's burying his money in holes in his front yard. While Stevie waits outside, Kenny meets his stepmother, Soledad, along with his dim-witted half-brother, Casper. As Eduardo shows off his ATV-tour business, Kenny feels a connection to his father, and they bond over a shared ability to get off on riding badass vehicles. Kenny opens up to Eduardo and comes clean about stealing the car. When Kenny expresses an interest in staying with his father, Stevie admits to lying about April marrying Cutler. The next day, Kenny, Eduardo, Stevie and Casper share a joint, and the police show up. Eduardo has turned in Kenny and Stevie for stealing the car, and they're hauled off to Mexican jail.<br /><br />In jail, Stevie comforts a heartbroken Kenny. Soledad shows up to bail them out and tell Kenny that Eduardo has been lying about everything; the money and the ATVs are all hers. She tells Kenny she's going to leave Eduardo and grabs his crotch. Eduardo offers his son a weak apology, and Kenny and Stevie drive off. At a gas station, Kenny picks up a pay-phone and leaves a message for April: "I'm coming for you."</p></div>

The gang goes after Schaeffer instead, and Mackworthy forgives Kenny and offers him a motorcade escort to the game.</p><p>When they arrive, Ivan is getting shelled and being taunted by racist fans. The next pitcher refuses to play in front of the battery-throwing crowd, so Kenny steps up and feeds off their rage. Generating power from his son, Ivan's failure, and Shane's memory, Kenny strikes out the final batter. While the black bikers fight with the crowd, Maria arrives and takes Stevie back into her arms.</p><p>Later, Kenny boogieboards and sees April waiting for him on the shore.
