Meemaw (Connie) finds herself with a suitcase containing $14,000 in small bills earned from her successful but illegal gambling room. Fearing money laundering investigations, she refuses to deposit it in a bank and instead gives $100 "gifts" to Sheldon and Missy.

Missy spends time with Meemaw at the laundromat/casino. This plotline serves as a bonding session.
