George, ever the hypochondriac, thinks he's having a heart attack and, at Kramer's urging, seeks the advice of a "holistic" healer.

Coach Taylor (Kyle Chandler) returns to Dillon, Texas as a head coach but it will not be an easy homecoming. He has to deal with a divided team, led by the conflict between quarterback, Matt Saracen, (Zach Gilford) and star running back, Smash Williams (Gaius Charles). Meanwhile, Tim Riggins (Taylor Kitsch) turns to Lyla (Minka Kelly) for help in changing Jason Street's (Scott Porter) mind about experimental surgery. Also, Landry (Jesse Plemons) finds out that the only thing he does actually control in his life is football.

Brian 'Smash' Williams (Gaius Charles) goes on his first recruiting trip to a prospective college but events take place that cast doubt on his future there. Saracen (Zachary Gilford) asks his cheerleader girlfriend for an open relationship. Meanwhile, emotions escalate in the Taylor family as Tami (Connie Britton) is upset with a young teacher that she feels is getting too close to Julie (Aimee Teegarden), while Eric (Kyle Chandler) explodes on Tami about her relationship with a different associate of theirs at the school. Tyra (Adrianne Palicki) is asked by her former attacker's brother to meet in person and make amends, but she asks Landry (Jesse Plemons) to go in her place.

Key evidence implicates Landry (Jesse Plemons) in the murder investigation prompting him to come clean with his father. Tami's (Connie Britton) more free-spirited sister, Shelley (Jessalyn Gilsig), comes to help Tami out with the baby, but only manages to make waves in the Taylor household. Meanwhile, Tim Riggins (Taylor Kitsch) is kicked off the team and must prove to Coach Taylor (Kyle Chandler) that he truly wants to be a Panther.

This is my confession -- Landry (Jesse Plemons) confesses to the murder of Tyra’s (Adrianne Palicki) assaulter but continues to struggle with his conscience. Elsewhere, Jason Street (Scott Porter) contemplates his new future, as Herc (guest star Kevin Rankin) sets him up with an online dating service. Meanwhile, as the Taylors prepare for baby Gracie’s christening, tension continues to grow between Tami (Connie Britton) and Julie (Aimee Teegarden).
