TTS is right, it's not that hard to leave. Grab your shit, walk down the stairs, it's done. This is all posturing so people will beg him not to leave, like 9,999 other histrionic scenes that have played out in Alex's life
I kind of always found the boxing segments a total bore and would tune out whenever they happened. But I am beginning to sense that the reason that Sam Hyde tries to introduce them so much is that they are a great way of dealing with conflict. I can only imagine that if Alex put some gloves on now and did a bit of a match with Hyde while discussing stuff he would probably feel a whole lot better and let a lot of aggression out - but he has to put on the gloves first.
Any kind of combat sport can be absolutely cathartic. If you are not used to it, it will be a complete energy dump, physically and mentally. Its sensory overwhelm when punches are coming at you.
Some of the boxing has been really bad but some of it has been peak kino. Joker Jimmy vs TJ was art lol.

I do like that his predicament is almost a purely mental/social one that he has absolute full control over, he has his bags packed and is right near the door. He hasn't really been physically hassled (that much). I think playing out scenarios like "tomorrow is the day I'm gonna leave" is something so many people do and its so interesting to see someone be put right on edge like this and the connotations it has with the ogre wife too if he leaves.
On the one hand supposedly Alex doesn't need the 50k at all, but on the other hand he apparently really, really does - I think what he needs more in his life right now more than the 50k is the cold, hard truth that Sam and Frank have been telling him. He knows the 50k is only ever going to be temporary and has made repeated reference that "you have to keep working to keep money coming in".
Probably what he will learn about himself (besides e-fame etc) would be far more valuable than that 50k, because he is being confronted with people telling him the truth very directly.

Did Alex just pick up a knife or something from the table?
edit: it appears he may have and connor or whoever defused the situation and made him put the knife or whatever it was down
edit 2: some people are saying he just picked up orange juice and the other dude was mad he would make a mess and didn't want to have to clean the kitchen again

Man I was really appreciating that heart to heart with Sam and Alex about his wife, and they had to fucking Jet it up activating Frank after pressing him so fucking hard with his wife.
