Big Cass enters. Enzo says that Big Cass hurt him and that his words cut deep. Enzo says that Big Cass was right about some things. He does have a big mouth, and he does sometimes bite off more than he can chew, but that was okay because he had Big Cass, he says. Enzo also says that Big Cass is still his brother and that he refuses to let this bond break.
Big Cass tells Enzo that he never knows when to shut up. But Big Cass then says that he’s ashamed of what he did last week because he and Enzo truly are brothers, and he accepts Enzo for who he is. Finally, he says that he’s sorry. They shake hands and hug.
