Heels Season 1 Finale Preview: Can Jack Make It Happen for the DWL?

It's all come down to this, folks. It's the season finale of STARZ's Stephen Amell (Jack Spade) & Alexander Ludwig (Ace Spade)-starring pro-wrestling drama Heels, and for the DWL? Its' last chance at survival courtesy of a main event spot at the South Georgia State Fair. But after the beatdown that he gave FWD owner Charlie Gully (Mike O'Malley), someone's going to be looking for a little revenge- and what better way to break the back of DWL by doing it during the biggest spotlight of the wrestling company's struggling existence?

Now here's a look at the official promo and episode overview for the season finale "Double Turn," followed by a sneak preview where Wild Bill (Chris Bauer) makes Crystal (Kelli Berglund) an offer she can clearly refuse:

Heels Season 1 Episode 8 "Double Turn": The culmination of all Jack's efforts finally pays off as the DWL is featured on the biggest stage in its history, but there's a lot more on the line than the championship belt.

In Heels, the focus is on the men and women who chase their dreams in the world of small-town pro wrestling. Set in a close-knit Georgia community, it follows a family-owned wrestling promotion as two brothers and rivals — Jack Spade (Amell) and Ace Spade (Ludwig) — war over their late father's legacy. In the ring, somebody must play the good guy and somebody must play their nemesis, the heel. But in the real world, those characters can be hard to live up to — or hard to leave behind.

In the ring, Amell's Jack Spade is the charismatic villain, or heel, of the Duffy Wrestling League (DWL). In the real world, he's its hard-working owner, a husband, and father trying to make ends meet while fighting to realize his impossible dreams. He has the mind of an artist in the body of a warrior, and a Steve Jobs-ian need for perfection — and for control. He says he'll do whatever it takes to build the DWL into an empire. Will he go so far as to risk his marriage – or his relationship with his brother, Ace?

Ludwig's Ace Spade is the beloved hero and star of the DWL. Things are more difficult in the real world, where he struggles to reconcile his town idol status with his insecurities and demons. He's brash, cocky, and self-destructive — yet so damn charming and good-looking that you can almost forgive him. If he can keep it together, he'll have a ticket out of Duffy and to the big time. But that's a big if…
