Karl is rethinking his present financial strategy because he feels obligated to provide Susan with the life she deserves when they both retire.

Karl is concerned about continuing to lie to Susan as he begins to silently regret the gamble he has made.

Susan is unhappy with Karl and decides to take matters into her own hands by requesting a refund from Montana.
Montana feels bad about ruining the Kennedys’ investment because she knows it won’t work out.
