Us Against You

Peter goes down to the locker room after the game; he knows how it feels to lose a game against Hed by a single point. The team doesn’t want to hear from him, and Peter loses his cool. He shouts at them that he doesn’t want them to forget about the loss—he wants them to remember it always. He’s interrupted by a loud banging sound from above. The team goes back up to the rink, where the Pack are jumping up and down and singing for their team.

David and Zackell meet in the referee room, where she gives David tips for his start player. That player will be recruited by an elite team a year later, a team on which David becomes the head coach instead of Zackell.

Benji also pays a visit to David, his former beloved coach. He returns the watch David gave to him, telling him to give it to his own son when he’s born. David struggles to say everything he feels he needs to, and when Benji walks away their relationship is different for good.

Beartown wins its next game, and Vidar defends Benji against an opponent who mocks him for his sexuality. The dynamics have changed for Benji, and he now resumes his tentative friendship with the Pack.
