Both Deadpool and Bullseye are hired for an assassinations and fight through ninjas, sharks with freakin’ lazer beams mounted to their heads, diseased monkeys, and zombies in “The Bet” which includes a surprise appearance of another Marvel character.

Miyamoto Usagi‘s attempt to save Tomoe has failed and has left him half-dead on the road only to be found and rescued by Shingen, who thankfully is less murderous than the last time our ronin’s path crossed the ninja.

Hoping for a big moment caught on film, Nick (Scott Foley) also arranges for the reunion of Justin (Raymond Cham Jr.) and his estranged father which, despite being a total dick move, may have actually helped both characters in the long run.
