Marisa says that Betsy always goes out of her way to spoil her because of Marisa’s difficult childhood.
Betsy didn’t realize until college that she grew up with less privilege than some of her peers. However, through her work as a social worker, she came to realize that her family was financially secure but had dark secrets. She wants more financial security, making her vulnerable to Frankie’s promises of a new life in Las Vegas.
Before they move to Las Vegas, Frankie looks up images of Crissy in her show, remarking how similar the sisters look. Betsy and Frankie discuss her show, and Frankie says that if Betsy took singing lessons, she could be even more talented than Crissy. She brushes him off but is flattered.
Marisa is interested in cryptocurrency but is surprised Betsy is going to work for Futurium because she isn’t good with numbers and math.
Crissy wonders if she would have still called Congresswoman Schweiker if she knew what would happen. She concludes that she would have still made the phone calls, regardless of the consequences.
