Ep 3. Copernicursed

In "Ballers" season 5 episode 3, titled "Copernicursed," Spencer Strasmore (played by Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson) continues his pursuit of becoming an NFL team owner, but faces several challenges along the way.

First, Spencer's bid to purchase a team is threatened by a rival bidder, who seems to have more financial backing and political clout. Meanwhile, Spencer's personal life is also in turmoil as his estranged brother returns and causes tension between him and his girlfriend.

As Spencer navigates these obstacles, he turns to his trusted confidantes for help. His financial advisor, Joe (played by Rob Corddry), tries to find ways to outmaneuver the rival bidder, while his former NFL player friend, Charles (played by Omar Miller), offers emotional support and a fresh perspective.

At the same time, Reggie (played by London Brown), a former client and now Spencer's business partner, goes behind his back and forms a risky partnership with a notorious rap mogul.

As the episode unfolds, it becomes clear that Spencer's pursuit of NFL ownership is not only a financial and professional goal, but a personal one as well, as he tries to prove his worth to himself and those around him.

"Copernicursed" is another gripping and fast-paced installment in the "Ballers" series, full of high-stakes business deals, personal drama, and compelling characters. Fans of the show will not want to miss this episode as it sets up major plot points for the rest of the season.
