The show centers on Michael Britten (Jason Isaacs), a detective living in two separate realities after a car crash. In this episode, the fictional professional football teams from Seattle and Los Angeles are in the final game of the year. The LAPD team get prepared to stop fights, and outstanding arguments. In the "green reality", Seattle Jets fan Rob Jones (Kyle Sabihy) is involved in a fight, and is found dead soon after; his brother Kenneth Jones (Chris Marquette) is the victim, and the detective later realize that he did this. Meanwhile, Rex (Dylan Minnette) is having troubles with his girlfriend Emma (Daniela Bobadilla). In the "red reality", Michael and Vega (Wilmer Valderrama) investigate a case with Sabina Fernandez, who died in a fire due to smoke inhalation. The fire inspector confirms that it was arson made to look like an accident. All of these crimes happened due to the game. Meanwhile, Vega plans a party for Michael's move to Oregon, and leaving the police department.
