To supplement the carnival's income, Samson arranges a "fireball show".  Ben tries to drive off the torments of his dreams by staying awake. He  remains defiant to Lodz's urges to listen to his dreams and learn from  them. Samson hands Ben the medal, saying he is the rightful owner as  Scudder's son. The medal's significance becomes clear when Lodz touches  it and experiences the same strong visions as Ben had with Boffo's ring.  When Sofie envisions her mother being raped by a tattooed man, she  unburdens her heart to Jonesy and Samson. Iris, who is still in search  of Justin, participates in Dolan's radio show but rejects his romantic  advances. Brother Justin is released from the mental institution.
