Early in their relationship, April needed to declare bankruptcy, that process which didn't seem to phase her in that unless something changes in her spending now, she/they will have to do it all over again. April treats money like it's water, something that always needed, and something of which there is seemingly an endless supply. The one thing April admits is that losing their home would be the worst thing, as she sees it as their son Mason's security. Although Kris loves April, Gail convinces him that he has to show April the real consequences of possibly splitting if things don't change. Gail provides April with an exercise which she hopes will show her that if she doesn't buy things, her world will not totally fall apart. She also gives her another exercise hopefully to show her where her priorities should lie by being grateful for the things she has. A final exercise is meant to demonstrate how April's spending could have been used for more beneficial things for their family, especially Mason's future. At the beginning of the process, Gail is concerned that April will try and do and say the right things just to get the $10,000, and then return to her old ways. Only the end of the six weeks and beyond will prove Gail right or wrong. Written by
