Ben therefore shies away from asking help from design school buddy Pete Powell, but partner Cam still gets them presented to Japanese buyer Haraki, who orders t-shirts instead. Darren handles more souvenirs of Ben at Rachel's well, while her boss scolds her insensitivity. René hoped to recuperate the $100,000 he hid in a relative's home, but is expelled by his bitch-wife's restraining order, and the cash was 'found' by contractor Flaco while converting the apartment into her beauty parlor.
