Rick is forced to ask Tony for help. Parker runs a 24-hour test of his ground and suffers another washplant failure. Tony hauls the final piece of his million-dollar second dredge from Thistle Creek and prepares to rebuild it.

Rick makes a disastrous mistake that shuts down his claim. Parker threatens a long time member of the crew with demotion and Tony resurrects an ancient wash plant in an attempt to get back in the game.
