Easy Money

While the computer systems at Prestige Payday Loans go haywire, Morgan gets an out-of-the-blue message from a long-lost cousin, Doug Johnson. Morgan is excited by the prospect of finding a blood relative. Cooper soon uncovers that South Nile National Bank owner Ned Schmidt has reworked his computers' collection system in a way that unfairly charges Prestige's clients. Bobette addresses the issue head-on with Schmidt, who is less than accommodating. Prestige borrower Gev has been adversely affected by Schmidt's finagling and hopes to help Bobette give Schmidt his due. As Morgan and Bobette grow skeptical of Doug's family claim, Cooper's wife Cherise becomes downright indignant. She thinks Cooper, as the true Buffkin heir, deserves more credit for the work he does at Prestige and puts a bee in Cooper's bonnet. After another terrifying run-in with the Mamayo Brothers, Mike blazes out of town to avoid any more entanglements. He soon finds out life on the desert road isn't all he thought it would be. Back in South Nile, Morgan enlists Barry to get info on Cousin Doug and tries to come clean with Julia about the nature of his family's work. less
