The main scheme in episode 8 involves Pryce and his group hustling Clark Ross to secure a sponsor exemption for Santi to play in a PGA pro tournament. The episode shows the heist from Clark's perspective, with the characters playing different roles in the con, culminating in Ross winning a game with a lucky shot to grant the exemption.

Clark Ross is Pryce's old golf nemesis who once said something cruel about Pryce's late son, Jett, which led to a viral incident and ended Pryce's career. This backstory adds tension to their interaction in the episode.

Clark Ross is portrayed as handsome, charming, annoyingly fit, and generally likable, though he is disliked by the main Stick cast. He is a former PGA Tour player and a spokesperson, with a smarmy but charismatic demeanor.

Pryce orchestrates the hustle against Clark Ross, aiming to prove he was always the better golfer. He also participates in the final game where Ross makes the lucky shot, and Pryce's plan ultimately succeeds in securing the sponsor exemption for Santi.

The episode ends on a warm moment between Santi and Zero, emphasizing that despite the golf and hustling plot, the core of the show is about earnest human emotion and their relationship.
