Dez and Trey then extend an invitation to the treehouse to Madison, who declines.

We hear from Sami Callihan, who says that he has been screwed this year and says if it were not for Eddie Edwards, he would be World Champion again. He says that RVD was not at his best because he was in his and Katie Forbes' heads. After saying that they have no idea when he will strike next, Callihan proposes they meet in the ring next week so that he can kick RVD's ass.

We hear from Ethan Carter III, who talks about how he beat Kurt Angle for the TNA World Heavyweight Championship while saying that he cannot let go of that moment. He says that this was the last time he was happy, but he cannot let go, and that he gave everything and sacrificed everything only to get pain, regret and hate instead of the respect that he wanted. He says that he cannot be free as long as the TNA World Heavyweight Championship exists, and says that while Moose is a potentially powerful weapon, he hides behind ring robes and is a false idol while he could be just like him. He calls the title "a weight upon his leg" that is causing him to drown, and that he has to let go and destroy the TNA World Heavyweight Championship in order to be free.

Brian Myers beats Willie Mack with a roll-up after grabbing Willie Mack's tights.

At Wrestle House, Cousin Jake tells Cody Deaner that "Lawrence D" is "Stefan," comparing Larry D's alter-ego to that of Steve Urkel's. Rosemary then shows up for her date with Larry D, then Alisha has a word with Rosemary, saying she is not into Larry D. After Alisha tells Rosemary that she is only breaking John E. Bravo's heart, Taya Valkyrie wakes up and sees Rosemary only to pass out. Tommy Dreamer tells John E. Bravo to make Rosemary his girl before Larry D does. As Rosemary tells Larry D that this never meant to go as far as it has, John E. Bravo confronts and slaps Larry D as Rosemary tries to explain everything. Larry D comes to his senses, then Tommy Dreamer declares it is match time.

At Wrestle House, Larry D beats John E. Bravo with a big right hand. Acey Romero is the referee. After the match, Rosemary tries to explain things, but John E. Bravo says it is his fault for not being honest with Taya Valkyrie. Taya shows up and John E. says he has feelings for Rosemary and that she has feelings for him, too. Taya blames Rosemary for everything that is going on and she did everything to spite her, and challenges Rosemary to a winner-takes-all match next week.

Next week: Taya Valkyrie vs. Rosemary at Wrestle House! Ace Austin and Madman Fulton vs. The Rascalz (Dezmond Xavier and Trey Miguel)! Sami Callihan vs. Rob Van Dam! Eric Young vs. Eddie Edwards for the Impact World Championship!

Deonna then scores the final fall to get the lead in the final seconds of the match by making Jordynne tap out to the Venus De Milo.

Meanwhile, Larry D - who calls himself "Lawrence D" - is dressed up in a suit and wearing his own new fragrance "Ring Rust," much to the surprise of Acey Romero, who is still surprised by Larry's change in character from last week.

Backstage, The Good Brothers ("The Big LG" Doc Gallows and "Machine Gun" Karl Anderson) say that Ace Austin and Madman Fulton wanted to get their attention since they showed up, and Anderson says that they finally have it. Gallows says that his night in jail, which wasn't his first, fired him up, and that after he and Anderson are done with them, Austin and Fulton will be thanking them.

The Impact Plus Flashback Moment of the Week is Eric Young vs. Kurt Angle in a Stretcher Match from May 11, 2015.

Backstage, Jimmy Jacobs interviews Willie Mack, who says that Rich Swann is too young to retire and that Eric Young comes back just to injure him. Suddenly, Brian Myers hijacks the camera and the interview, and has Jacobs interview him and ask him anything. Myers says he has done everything he needed to do to succeed, but it has only gotten him fired and he is tired of viewed as "a good hand." Myers says he is taking his career and the business back into his hands in a business where major decisions are made by "some out-of-touch 70-year-old man in a goofy production meeting," and that he is most professional wrestler in professional wrestling. Myers is then attacked by Willie Mack.

We hear from Heath, who says that #Heath4Impact should be trending as he needs the job and Rhino would not have been attacked if he was there. He also says he still has kids.

The Good Brothers ("The Big LG" Doc Gallows and "Machine Gun" Karl Anderson) beat Ace Austin and Madman Fulton after Fulton gets his foot stuck in the guardrail at ringside.

At Wrestle House, Alisha Edwards is glad that Taya Valkyrie is planning for a match. Cody Deaner looks in the refrigerator for some beer, but finds out that somebody has stolen their two six-packs for later tonight. When Acey Romero approaches the refrigerator, The Deaners (Cody Deaner and Cousin Jake) confront him over the beer. Susie reminds Acey and The Deaners they have a truce, then Larry D gets two drinks and hands one to Rosemary, who is down for a date for next week. Larry D hands John E. Bravo his drink and leaves, then Susie says hello to Cousin Jake before leaving. Jake reminds Cody that the date last week did not go well.

At Wrestle House, Kylie Rae beats Taya Valkyrie despite referee Rosemary favoring Taya. After the match, Rosemary tells Larry D she will see him next week, and Crazzy Steve tells John E.
