Lucy is back in town to deal with Paul's problems with Terese. After giving him an ultimatum of either ripping up Terese's contract or leaving the Lassiters chain, Paul chooses the latter and Terese is distressed. If she loses her job she'll lose her house as well. Lucy is sure that Paul is bluffing; it's all part of his game. There's no way that Paul will leave the Lassiters chain.
