The episode ends with O’Neal asking Kenny Smith about what Uncle Jerome will do to him if he only scores 7 points on 5 free throws at halftime. In response to Shaq’s question, Smith took a seemingly empty box that had been lying on the table and aimed it over O’Neal’s head.
However, Smith wasn’t aware of the donut in the box.
