The problem is that Rich is raging like a mad bull, making it hard for them to focus their attention on Dowling. Sam slams into him but instead of letting himself get knocked flat, he rolls with it, using Sam's own momentum to throw him off of him.

At the very least, though, Sam's attack makes it so that the blasts of Nova Force he fires at Gwen are easier to dodge.

"No more! You don't get to hurt anyone else!"

It looks like this won't be easy for Rich to shake. That means they might have to try to stop Dowling while simultaneously fending him off.
