Holly meets Nick, a handsome young, blue collar guy, who she finds herself attracted to. Maya and Dean think Nick is wrong for her, but his rough-hewn charm somehow works for Holly. Meanwhile, Tom and Quinn have organized an amateur boxing tournament for charity with a nice cash prize to the winner. Dean is an experienced amateur from Australia and seizes the opportunity to help his family out with a crisis involving one of his younger sisters. We learn that Cap himself was a professional boxer in his youth and a coach/trainer thereafter. He agrees to help Dean's effort. Maya is shocked to learn that Jennifer, who has grown up around the sport, is a fan of such brutal contests. Holly ends up in the middle of this argument, especially when Nick enters the boxing contest. What our people eventually learn is that Nick was once a professional boxer whose career was cut short by a detached retina. He is reluctant to fight again, but a man shows up to pressure him into the bout. We eventually learn that the man who shows up to persuade him, is his older brother Vincent, the architect behind the family's boxing heritage, one in which a middle brother was permanently brain damaged and institutionalized. How will Flipper help our people realize how dangerous this fight could be? Will Dean go through with it? Find out what happens on this week’s suspenseful episode of Flipper.
