Ernie Richardson returns a decade after his first appearance in episode 4. He discusses moving from lead to skip in 1954, recalls the shot that beat Jimmy Shields and Ron Northcott before a packed house at the 1963 Brier in Brandon, and the loss that ended the Richardsons' bid for a fifth title in 1964. Ernie details the arrangement with Hector Gervais at the Calgary Carspiel, the backlash that followed, and the last shot he still replays sixty years later. He pays tribute to Garnet Campbell and Bob "Pee Wee" Pickering, remembers Chuck Hay and the Scotch Cups of 1962 and '63, and shares his advice for staying sharp into your nineties.
