However, through her work as a social worker, she came to realize that her family was financially secure but had dark secrets. She wants more financial security, making her vulnerable to Frankie’s promises of a new life in Las Vegas.

Before they move to Las Vegas, Frankie looks up images of Crissy in her show, remarking how similar the sisters look. Betsy and Frankie discuss her show, and Frankie says that if Betsy took singing lessons, she could be even more talented than Crissy. She brushes him off but is flattered.
