Rebecca ultimately comes to a realization about her rich man obsession in general, but she has to translate that realization into action. Meanwhile, Cliff and Ma Clavin are feuding.

Sam does go to the meeting, and after a rough start, he does admit that perhaps he is no longer happy with his life.
