At Chase University, Duke Hudson says that being the substitute teacher for the university has been consuming and sucking his will to live and that he has brought in two special guests who will help teach the art of catch wrestling: Drew Gulak and Charlie Dempsey. Gulak says that while the students of Chase University are used to being told what to do, he is here to teach them what not to do when they hear the bell ring, with Charlie Dempsey using Thea Hail as an example. Dempsey states that Thea Hails' lack of grappling knowledge puts her at a clear disadvantage against everyone she is in the ring with, and is not how to become a Superstar. Gulak says the good news is that not everyone in the class has to fail like Thea does. Thea Hail storms off, and Gulak says that with the right guidance, everyone will know how to crunch and crack their opponents in half. At this rate, Hudson confronts Gulak and Dempsey for having Thea Hail leave the room crying, and when Gulak says there is no crying in wrestling and that what happened to Thea was a reality check, Hudson tells them that he will not take the students being talked to in such a manner and to have a better lesson plan prepared before kicking them out of the room and dismissing the class so he can check on Thea.
