When everyone tries to tell Jesse what kind of man Stavros is, Jesse refuses to believe them. The Smash Club is the setting for Stavros's latest scam, in which he says that a severe mudslide has occurred in his hometown in Greece and he is raising money at the Smash Club for his hometown's recovery from the mudslide.
