The episode starts and things are really going well between John and Debra.

He wakes up every morning and makes her a different kind of smoothie.

Some with vodka, some without.

Just stick to a good one that works already!

John also tests the temperature of the water for Debras shower, and this is even more ridiculous.

These are the worst of all ofDirty Johns crimes.

John quickly pins her to the bed and calls the cops.

Um, do we need to remind Debra that this is arental.

How is someone so bad with money so successful?

He says its from clients without insurance who pay in cash.

I dont even have that much stashed away for my retirement and that is Debras slush fund?!

She also tells John that she doesnt know how much is in there.

Around 80 or 90 thousand, she says.

Dont admit to this guy you dont know how much money is in there.

That means if some of it goes missing you wont even know how much he took.

John convinces her to put it in a safe deposit box, which she goes along with.

Um, doesnt that totally negate having an earthquake fund in the first place?

Some other shady things start to happen that even Debra thinks are weird.

Did John make a faux pas?

Hes just crazy like that.

Christmas is an especially tough time for the family.

Terra doesnt want to be around John and goes to therapy to talk to her mother about it.

Shes basically giving Terra the middle finger immediately upon entering the door.

Veronica doesnt come to Christmas.

That is just savage.

Im starting to come around on Ronnie.

Hes also not even a registered doctor, like he claims.

All of this info is even starting to make Debra curious.

The last thing she wants is for John to catch her snooping.

Why would this guy leave that all around?

Its like eating someones last cookie and then forgetting to wipe all of the crumbs out of your beard.

Maybe he wants it there.

Maybe what turns John on more than making Debra smoothies is pulling the wool over her eyes.
