In the penultimate episode of season three of Ballers, The Rock and Joe take a trip to San Francisco and Oakland to prepare their final pitch for the Vegas stadium deal. The Rock struggles to articulate his desire for a child to Chloe before they split for the episode (and maybe for good?). Spencer learns that there is a competitive bid and doesn't take kindly to the Raiders' lack of communication on that front. Meanwhile, Ricky has a crisis of conscience and announces to the Patriots that he has a concussion and ultimately loses the deal he was about to sign. Dave and Joel finish up this episode with a discussion of how the character of Melvin is both long-overdue and simultaneously problematic and make their predictions for the "winners" and "losers" we'll see in next week's season finale.
