One to the Heart, One to the Head

When Max broke his back he thought that his life was as good as over, but when he met Earl he realised that perhaps that wasn't so. Earl's head injury might have left him with trouble in working out the details of exactly what was happening, but Max was after his muscle, not his brains. Meanwhile in downtown Central City trouble is brewing. The turf war between the Jacksons and the Guzmans is hotting up and when Max and Earl stumble into the middle of it all Max sees an opportunity for revenge, but Max's getting even might just be the spark that could cause the whole place to explode.
