Plot summary
Tony Carolla ( Daran Norris ), a land tycoon hosts a party for possible investors for a Mexican condo project. While catering the event, Henry and Casey discuss what their status is, and agree to a casual relationship. Kyle makes a friend ( Ryan Devlin ) at the party, hoping to become successful like him—but ends up ditching plans for an after party with him after how he talks about Constance, and decides to hang out with her instead. Henry comes to the conclusion Carolla is scamming the investors after realizing none of the phones work, the rest of the house is empty, and recognizes a man from his acting class.
After Ron writes a check of his life savings to Carolla to invest, Henry exposes that it is a scam, and Carolla pulls out a gun. Ron, thinking it is the prop gun Roman brought, stands up to Carolla and demands he be given his money back. After realizing he is holding a real gun, he drops to the floor and Carolla is able to flee.
