Viewers will see the usually rock-hard Spencer (Dwayne Johnson) in a rare moment of vulnerability in the upcoming episode of HBO's comedy series "Ballers."
In "Everything is Everything," TV.com reports that the athlete-turned-manager will face his fears after a confrontation with his sportscaster girlfriend Tracy (Arielle Kebbel). Meanwhile, Spencer's other friends will have their own share of drama.
Charles (Omar Miller) will decide that the time is ripe to explore his selfish side while Ricky (John David Washington) will be forced to share his private life with the press after news of his off-field activities are exposed. Joe (Rob Corddry), for his part, will continue his negotiation with lawyer Maximo Gomez (Clifton Collins Jr.).
Last episode, Spencer and Joe wanted nothing to do with Vernon (Donovan W. Carter) after what happened with the contract. However, they were forced to see him after the professional athlete told them he was in trouble. He was being blackmailed at the yacht party by a girl who was keeping incriminating pictures of him.
They met with the crook's lawyer Gomez, who named them a price — a whopping $500,000 — in exchange for silence. They told him where to shove up his offer, but the man had Vernon by the nuts and they knew it. Anderson Financial would be in danger if the pictures were leaked, as Vernon was in the midst of contract negotiations.
Meanwhile, Ricky continued wooing Alonzo (Antoine Harris) by inviting him to a strip club. Alonzo ended up bringing several of his brothers to party at Ricky's expense and still managed to give him the cold shoulder. Later, when he was nabbed by a policeman for having sex in the car, Ricky went to his rescue. Alonzo then apologized to Ricky and gave him the number 18. What he did not know was that the entire thing was a set up, and that the cop was Ricky's girlfriend Annabella's uncle.
The biggest drama of the night, however, went to Charles. He was at his wit's end after Julie (Jazmyn Simon) saw Sammi the hooker's remaining picture he refused to delete. After a fiery confrontation, he ended up leaving the house.
"Ballers" airs Sunday at 10 p.m. EST on HBO.
