The Season 2 finale of Disney+/Hulu's "Chad Powers" resolves the season-long thread of teammate Gerry closing in on the truth about Russ Holliday's secret identity as "Chad Powers." After discovering hard evidence and confronting Russ, Gerry blackmails him into deliberately throwing the Catfish's crucial final regular-season game against Texas, threatening to expose his disguise otherwise, which throws the team's playoff hopes and Russ's relationships into turmoil.

Gerry's scheme, revealed to Danny and coach Ricky via a hidden list of planned bad plays, involves forcing Chad to lose so Gerry can collect on $200,000 in bets placed against him, while also making Chad take the blame for planting a 3D-printed gun in Gerry's locker. As the Catfish trail badly at halftime, Ricky, who has studied Russ's old Oregon game tape and just accepted a coaching job at Syracuse, prepares to help him counter Gerry's plot in what will be their last game together.
