Finally, the reason why this episode was titled “Sportin Waves”. Remember the guy who just came home and is taking his residency on Paper Boi’s couch named Tracy? Well he shined very bright on this episode and his du-rag and the miraculous waves he said were baking underneath them are the reason why. Darius finally breaks Earn off with $4,000 from those puppies they sold in season 1.
Finally a break for Earn, will he mess this up though? All signs point to yes.
Tracey the ex-con immediately pitches to Earn that he should let him double it for him. Earn says he’s good but Tracy claims he can make Earn’s newfound hood fortune double by putting it on a gift card. It would seem Earn reluctantly agrees to Tracy’s pitch thanks to some backing from Paper Boi.
Tracy has a job interview today and not only does his waves have to be on point but so does his interview ensemble. The two head to the mall to do some “shopping.” We learn about the “no chase” rule that department stores implement as well that Tracy masterful exploits when he just walks out with some new shoes leaving Earn and the salesman stunned.

We also learn that Earn did the unthinkable and put all of his money on a gift card.
He used the card to make a purchase and when he swiped it was indeed a tense moment but the card eventually went through.
As soon as Earn walks out of the spot he receives a text from Tracy that they are watching him and that he should hurry up and use the entire card before he gets caught.
Meanwhile he is already at his interview. The moment of truth is about to revealed. He gets called into the office and takes off the durag and boy he wasn’t lying about his waves cause they were indeed spinning. Unfortunately, he wasn’t able to hypnotize the recruiter and he didn’t get the job cause the company is “fully staffed.” Twitter went into a frenzy for this moment.
