Balls of Tin Season Two

Putting the Bicycle Back Together

The crew is throwing a party for Edwardo. He is moving to Ohio to run his family’s motel. He and Loretta have divorced, and he has custody of their son, Ezekiel, making cinematography work an impossibility. At the party, the crew finds out that not only is Edwardo leaving the crew, but so is Bowers. Dan has a new girlfriend, Stevie, on one arm, while his other elbow is broken, inhibiting him from being the lead for NEFU’s second season.

From A to McKenzie

In this episode, we get to know McKenzie as he exists outside of Roger’s shadow at NewStream. Surprisingly, everyone loves McKenzie, and he and his wife have a remarkable love. When he arrives at his office, he finds a new assistant, Stevie, who is also Dan Dane’s new girlfriend. McKenzie has Claire’s old job. Roger Dane is approached by a mysterious woman, Liz Carlisle, obviously wealthier and more powerful than Roger. She wants to buy NEFU from Roger. When she finds out that Roger no longer owns NEFU, she exits. Roger is infuriated that the series has value and tasks McKenzie with starting a new mountain biking show for NewStream.

A Byke Walks into a Bar

McKenzie is out searching for a star for his show. He enters the Boulder Bike Shop and encounters Joe Dash working on a bike. McKenzie finds that Joe is one-half of the Olympic Tandem Mountain Biking team, J-Squared. McKenzie books Joe.

Meanwhile, the NEFU crew has headed out to Bike Night at the local Boulder Bar, right next to Boulder Bike Shop. Lindsay meets the other half of J-Squared, Jane van Dyke, and she is starstruck. Lindsay was a big fan of J-Squared. She convinces Jane to go on a ride with her. Lindsay asks Jane to be the new star of NEFU.

Seeing Double

On their first shoot with Jane, the crew finally meets Roger Dinkins, who Dan mis-named Roger Deakins. Dinkins is a sexist, homophobic misanthrope. He shows up with an old Bolex for the filming. Robin calls Edwardo and he tells her that his kit is in Lindsay’s basement. Lindsay sends Claire to get the camera, making her furious. The NEFU crew runs into McKenzie’s crew and notices something very queer about McKenzie’s people. His entire crew resembles the NEFU crew. At this point, Lindsay and the rest of her crew find out that McKenzie is making a mountain biking show. As the NEFU crew marvels at their doppelgängers, Claire and Lindsay fight. Joe and Jane find that they are working on rival shows, and they argue.

It Takes Two to Tandem

In this episode, we learn the exciting, yet tragic tale of Canadian Olympic Tandem Mountain-biking team, J-Squared. Joe and Jane met in college and became riding partners. They excelled and left college to pursue a professional career. They became Olympians. But several incidents cause a rift between the two. Jane has achieved fame on her own, but Joe has not. They part ways. Jane continues her solo career until she has a cycling accident and leaves professional riding.

Too Hot to Handle

In this episode, both crews are hard at work on production for their respective shows. While McKenzie is having a great time, nailing everything, and living his best life, Lindsay is struggling. Claire is suspicious of Lindsay’s interest in Jane. Lindsay becomes angry with Claire and they fight in front of the entire crew. Claire leaves the set. Lindsay asks Robin to pick up the slack. Roger Dinkins disappears, and Dan takes over as cinematographer.

Everything’s Coming Up McKenzie

Lindsay is trying to finish a shoot, but is irritable and criticizing Jane’s riding. Claire is starting up her own project. McKenzie is thrilled that he’s wrapped and is having a party where the entire crew is celebrating him. Edwardo is staying with Lindsay and Claire so that he can attend Bike Con. Lindsay opens up to Edwardo about her struggles, including a major decision that could leave her moving on from NEFU.

NEFU Takes Bike Con

In the season finale, both crews are lured to The New England Bicycle Convention to present their season premieres. Neither group knows that the other has been invited. Joe and Jane are invited to speak, not knowing that they were invited as a pair. They end up on stage in front of an audience, re-hashing their breakdown. Bowers returns to attend Bike Con. The two crews meet up in a theater for the premiere, and each wonders what the other is doing there. Liz Carlisle appears to explain everything.
