Almost everyone at Cutting Edge admits to having fears. Marcus worries about Sam scrutinizing him. Casey thinks Carols always pouncing on her mistakes. Dion is afraid that he is considered to be too young for his role. Barney states that fear is all in the mind, while Steve counsels remembering that fear stands for false expectations appearing real. Sam recommends deliberately tensing ones body and then releasing fears in one big breath, while Carol asserts that fear can be handled with one of her verbal punches. Dion practices a mindfulness technique with Marcus who he hypnotizes into visualizing Sam as a chicken whenever Sam triggers his fear reflex.
