-Once they reach the destination, they find many scammers working, including Moe, who was one of the people at the meeting. The police doesn't arrest them because they're just employees and other scam agencies are going to raise up as soon as this was taken down. Angered, Marge kicks a bin and gift card pop out of it, so they go to [['Zerz]] to use them.

After the dinner, [[Chalmers]] refuses to give a woman $20 to fill her car, thinking it was another scam, but Marge tries to see if she can still trust, and lends her the money, trusting she'll mail her the money back as promised. One week later, she receives the money back, believing it was from her, but it was Grampa giving them some security, while Moe is seen back at scamming people on the phone.
