The first three episodes, 'Working the Gimmick', 'On the Road Again' and 'Forward, Together' have already shown important glimpses from The Rock's childhood. We've seen Dwyane in Pennsylvania, 1987 during his rebellious teen years, his stealing habit and his need to impress "Fine Ass Karen". The most recent episode saw Dwayne in Hawaii, 1982, where rival promoters, Rocky's wrestling career and Ata's musical dream takes center stage. In this next episode though, we are finally able to see a part of Dwyane's career that many have grown to know him for – his football playing days.

The official synopsis of the episode reads: "Miami, 1990: Dwayne looks to crack the starting lineup as a freshman for the famed Miami Hurricanes football team attracting the attention of players, coaches and celebrities. However, an unexpected incident sends his season and life into turmoil."
